Myriad Splendor Tower.
Jiang Ning emerged from Myriad Splendor Tower carrying a wooden chest packed full with fifty bottles of botanical essence.
Looking at the wooden chest in his hands, his heart was filled with delight.
To buy fifty bottles of botanical essence for merely one thousand taels of silver was, in Jiang Ning's eyes, an enormous bargain.
After all, botanical essence was several times more effective than ten-year wild ginseng, and compared with wild ginseng, it was also much easier for the body to absorb.
From this, he could infer that absorbing botanical essence would also grant him more Source Energy each day.
Moreover, with these fifty bottles of botanical essence, he would not need to worry about resources to support his martial training until he reached Stone Skin.
Fifty bottles of botanical essence would be enough to last him around twenty days.
As for skin-grinding sand, before he had even used up what he had, Wang Jin had sent him another batch. It would be enough for him to use for quite some time as well.
"Next, I can focus on continuing my martial training. There are only about twenty days to a month left before the Inspection Office opens. I'll strive to raise my strength another one or two levels during this time."
Jiang Ning thought to himself.
After leaving Myriad Splendor Tower, he headed straight home.
Then, he returned to his state of grueling martial training.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
By the Luo River, Jiang Residence.
Wearing only a pair of shorts, Jiang Ning assumed the sixth stance of the Indestructible Vajra Body in his courtyard.
Then he circulated the Five Animals Force, driving the qi and blood throughout his body and continuously tempering the dermal membrane beneath his skin.
