"I'm not going."
Jiang Ping refused without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? Sending him to celebrate Chen An's birthday?
Not causing him trouble for the time being is already the greatest act of kindness he can show.
Wei Rou was somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to refuse without hesitation.
She was perceptive and, recalling their interactions, quickly understood the reason, and couldn't help but say:
"You shouldn't refuse. He's a legendary figure in Yang City; he might be able to help you in the future."
Jiang Ping shook his head. "No need."
Seeing the young man's resolute attitude, Wei Rou brought up Jin Ze and his younger brother, who came from a prominent family, and mentioned that the two of them were also there, hoping that Jiang Ping could also go.
"Why do I have to go?" Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow.
"It's said to be related to a fortuitous encounter," Wei Rou replied.
What was the opportunity?
"I don't know."
"Then I won't go."
"..." Wei Rou said that there would be a special Heroes' Banquet in the Prefecture City, which even First-rate Genius were not qualified to attend. People like Song Yuanshan and Ji Baichuan were not on the invitation list.
"There is indeed a threshold, so my comprehension barely meets this requirement?"
The fact that he caught the eye of a young master from a prestigious family must mean he has good comprehension skills.
It's not because Jiang Ping is too handsome.
"Yes." Wei Rou nodded, then revealed that the Top Five on the Changping Martial Examination Ranking would all be present at this grand event, which would be an opportunity to meet unparalleled geniuses. Becoming friends with such figures would be a lifelong benefit.
However, Jiang Ping remained unmoved.
What talk of getting acquainted with geniuses? He himself is one of the most dazzling geniuses.
"Well."
Wei Rou sighed and left, somewhat disappointed.
It is not advisable to meet with Fifth Rank for the time being.
Jiang Ping thought to himself, "Fifth Rank can Bone Reading; I'm afraid my talent will be exposed."
"Better safe than sorry." Before reaching the Sixth Grade, one cannot even see the Fifth Rank.
The next day, someone came to the door.
Jiang Ping thought Wei Rou had come to persuade him again, but unexpectedly it was Ji Baichuan had never set foot in the house before.
The other person spoke in an imperious tone, "I expect you to be there for Chen An's birthday banquet the day after tomorrow."
Jiang Ping pointed to the doorway. "The door is over there."
"I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. Don't come looking for me if you regret it." Ji Baichuan shook his head, not wanting to stay any longer anyway.
Clang.
As soon as Ji Baichuan stepped out, the front door was slammed shut, and there was a sound of it being locked from the inside.
"You don't know what's good for you." Ji Baichuan shook his head.
In the courtyard.
Jiang Ping pondered, "My comprehension is becoming increasingly advanced, and I'll inevitably have to deal with Fifth Rank experts in the future. I need to break through to the Sixth Grade as soon as possible."
The Sixth Grade Refining Viscera One Viscera One Year's Work.
Even with his Martial Bone, he still needs time; he can't achieve a rapid breakthrough, he has to hone his skills little by little.
Two weeks later.
As agreed, Wei Rou discussed Blade Art with Jiang Ping.
"No wonder even Jin Ze looks at you differently, thinking you're very qualified to participate in that grand event."
The longer Wei Rou spent with Jiang Ping, the more she realized his amazing comprehension.
She learned a lot from it and made rapid progress.
I'm afraid it won't be long before he can break through to the forty-fold level of Saber Qi and catch up with Song Yuanshan in terms of skill.
Jiang Ping, however, asked with slight surprise, "That grand event isn't over yet?"
"It hasn't even started yet," Wei Rou said, then invited Jiang Ping.
She can introduce Jin Ze to him if he is willing.
"No need."
Jiang Ping shook his head.
He made up his mind that he would not meet those geniuses who might already be at the Fifth Rank before reaching the Sixth Grade.
"It will be ready soon, within two months."
After Wei Rou left, Jiang Ping devoted himself to cultivation, focusing on Organ Refining.
Of course, the exploration of Artistic Conception has not been neglected, and the improvement is obvious.
Life returned to normal.
However, a few days after meeting with Wei Rou, Ji Baichuan came to the door again, strongly demanding that Jiang Ping and Jin Ze meet.
"This is an incredible opportunity, how can you give it up? How can you live up to the Chief?" Ji Baichuan reprimanded.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Ping asked calmly.
"Why won't you listen? This is your chance!" Ji Baichuan said, exasperated by the stubborn young man.
Jiang Ping sneered, "You don't want me to gain this opportunity, you just want to use me to get into that banquet, don't you?"
"We've both been trained by the Chief, so we should support each other. If the Chief finds out about this, he'll definitely be disappointed in you." Ji Baichuan said confidently.
"At that gathering, when you were undermining me, you didn't give me any face at all."
"..." Ji Baichuan was speechless.
She felt a little annoyed; perhaps she shouldn't have been so harsh on Jiang Ping before. If she had treated him well, he probably would have been obedient and compliant.
"Who would have thought this person would have such high comprehension?" Ji Baichuan sighed inwardly.
Ji Baichuan left, and perhaps because Jiang Ping's attitude was resolute, neither Wei Rou nor this person mentioned the matter again.
Jiang Ping felt a sense of urgency and immersed himself in intensive training.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
As expected, he reached the Sixth Grade, having cultivated One Viscera in four months.
Buzz!
At this moment, Jiang Ping's Golden Lungs were clean and radiant, emitting a thunderous sound.
His vital Blood Qi surged like a tidal wave, increasing several times compared to when he was at the Seventh Rank.
He activated his Sixth Grade cultivation technique, and extraordinary drops of blood condensed from his Blood Qi.
Unlike ordinary flowing blood, they possess an inexplicable pressure and a slight sheen.
Martial Essence Blood!
This is the most essential part of Martial Artist's vital Blood Qi.
To some extent, this is also the source of Martial Artist, originating from the five internal organs, making it exceptionally powerful and precious.
Buzz.
Jiang Ping gathered a drop of dew in his palm and let it drip down.
Thump!
The weight of that drop of blood seemed to exceed a thousand pounds. Like a boulder rolling down, it made a dull thud and instantly cracked the floor, creating spiderweb-like fissures.
"A single drop of blood can suppress Ninth Grade!"
Jiang Ping's black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and his temperament became increasingly outstanding.
Moreover, as his strength grew, his eyes shone like stars, and he gained a sense of composure.
"The strength of Sixth Grade lies not in their essence blood, but in the Blood Art that use essence blood as a catalyst."
After reaching the Sixth Grade, Jiang Ping began to study Blood Art.
The first thing to practice is Blood Escape. This Blood Art is very special. Once you burn your essence blood, your running speed can increase exponentially, making it the best way to save your life.
It is Blood Art that almost every Sixth Grade Martial Artist must learn.
Of course, for Jiang Ping, its other ability is equally crucial.
Hidden Martial Bone!
Jiang Ping perused the Blood Art.
In fact, he had already studied the Blood Escape Technique when he first started practicing the internal organs, preparing for this moment, so he had already memorized the content and quickly Entry Level.
Without much practice, he had already mastered the Concealment Technique that came with Blood Escape.
Buzz!
As he used this technique, his Martial Bone trembled inexplicably.
This exceptionally translucent bone was covered in flesh and blood, gradually becoming covered in dust.
In a moment, the Martial Bone completely disappeared, and even with Jiang Ping's blood and Blood Qi through it, he could not sense anything unusual.
"All done!"
Jiang Ping exhaled.
He learned more about the Concealment Technique in the Prefecture City. It was created by a Martial Bone Prodigy, and even Fifth Rank and Fourth Grade martial artists couldn't see through it unless a third-rank martial artist appeared.
A third-rank Martial Saint is already the pinnacle of humanity. Not to mention the Prefecture City, there isn't one in Black River Province. In other words, as long as he doesn't expose himself, he won't face any risks in the Prefecture City.
Moreover, the ability to conceal is not only effective on the Martial Bone, but can also suppress the brilliance of the five internal organs and hide all Qi Mechanism.
Over the next few days.
Jiang Ping was immersed in his research on Blood Art.
Not only the Blood Escape for survival, but also two other Offensive Techniques bestowed by the Chief, such as the Blood Buddha's Hand that Jin Ze took out last time.
This Offensive Techniques is very powerful; Great Accomplishment, it can crush even Grandmaster-level Technique, and it is extremely expensive.
Of course, Jiang Ping did not forget another supreme Blood Art, Invincible Vajra.
As early as after settling in the Prefecture City, he went to the Luoyun Chamber of Commerce and spent several thousand taels of silver to exchange for this Blood Art.
This technique is unparalleled; combined with the Golden Bone, it is unshakeable unless one possesses the Tenfold skill.
Jiang Ping has refined his Golden Skin Jade Bone to become even stronger, and with the added strength from his Blood Art, can he withstand Half-step Blade Intent?
