Chapter 889: Chapter 889

Jiang Ning at this moment was standing on the wooden board extending outside the carriage, looking at the towering city wall ahead, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The city wall of Guangning City in front was about twenty zhang tall.

This height far exceeded any ancient city wall he had seen in his previous life.

As for its length, it stretched almost beyond visibility.

To say the least, it was ten kilometers, and its circumference clearly surpassed the length of any ancient city wall in his previous life.

His mind immediately conjured up the approximate data of the Guangning Prefecture.

A population of more than two million, covering an area of one million square kilometers.

This instantly reminded him of the ancient city data he learned about in his previous life.

In the five thousand-year history of that ancient civilized nation.

The most prosperous and populated city was undoubtedly the Northern Song Bianjing.

Bianjing, with a population of about one and a half million and covering some fifty to sixty square kilometers.

And that was already the peak, the zenith, the most flourishing era in the five thousand-year history.

Backed by the political status of being the capital of a dynasty.

Yet Guangning Prefecture, was merely one of the thirty-six prefectures in the Nine States, and only a lower-tier prosperous prefecture.

The comparison made Jiang Ning even more aware of the extraordinary nature of this world.

Great power returns to the self; individual strength is strong enough to create many miracles.

Just the sight of Guangning Prefecture here would suffice as one of the historical miracles in his previous life.

His heart suddenly thought of the Royal Capital of Great Xia.

Just an ordinary prefecture has such prosperity.

What would the Royal Capital look like?

Bai Luoyu stood on the wooden board outside the carriage, gazing at the undulating city wall ahead.

"Master, if you ever visit the Royal Capital, you’ll truly feel a shock from the depths of your heart!"

"If there’s a chance, I will definitely go and see!" Zhao Yulong nodded.

"If there’s a chance, I will also go and see!" Jiang Ning spoke.

"Lord Jiang, certainly you’ll have the opportunity! Lord Jiang will naturally visit the Royal Capital when he goes for the Martial Arts Examination in October." Zhao Yulong said.

"Master’s words are right!" Bai Luoyu nodded, then added, "Brother Jiang, how about we go together then, I would like to visit my elder sister in the Royal Capital!"

"Sure!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Let’s go! Enter the city!" Zhao Yulong said.

Three carriages slowly moved into Guangning City with the group entering the city.

Located at the very center of Guangning Prefecture.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, only the area around Guangning City is a flat open terrain with a wide view.

Hence the prefecture city of Guangning Prefecture sat here.

After Jiang Ning and the other two entered the city.

The sky gradually darkened.

The sunset was swallowed by the distant rolling mountains, casting shadows over this majestic and bustling city.

"You two, have a good rest tonight and report to Shen Wenyan about work tomorrow!" Zhao Yulong stood in the corridor, speaking to the two.

"Alright!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"See you tomorrow! Master!" Bai Luoyu patted his mouth, yawned.

After days of travel, he indeed felt a bit weary.

Then the three bid farewell and walked towards their own courtyards.

Looking at the plaque hanging above the gate, seeing the bamboo forest extending from the wall, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

Lv Yi immediately stepped forward with a key in hand.

With a crisp "click" from the golden copper lock, the lock was unlocked.

Lv Yi pushed open the vermilion gate: "Young Master, here it is!"

Lifted his leg over the threshold.

Lv Yi immediately flipped the sign hanging on the side wall.

Then she followed inside behind Jiang Ning, casually closing the courtyard gate.

The two stepped into a courtyard of about one hundred square meters, planted with bamboo.

There were green bamboos, purple bamboos.

A small stream surrounded the courtyard wall, with several decorative koi fish in the stream.

At this moment, an evening breeze blew.

The bamboo swayed, making a rustling sound.

"Young Master, this courtyard is really nice!" Lv Yi praised as she looked at the view before her.

Jiang Ning said, "The cost of one tael of gold a month, of course it won’t be bad!"

"Indeed!" Lv Yi clicked her tongue, continued, "One tael of gold, the rent is really expensive!"

"In a prefecture where every inch of land is precious, and this is one of the most bustling areas! Peace in the midst of noise, how can it not be expensive!" Jiang Ning said, accepting this price willingly.

While traveling abroad, he never shortchanged himself.

Even in his past life, though not wealthy, he never skimped on this aspect.

If staying home not traveling, then since traveling, he never chose an environment too dirty or messy to stay.

He said, "Go boil some water!"

"Yes, Young Master!" Lv Yi responded immediately.

Once Lv Yi left, Jiang Ning toured the small courtyard of about two hundred square meters he rented.

He was also very satisfied with the environment inside the courtyard!

Then, sitting on the rattan chair in the courtyard.

[Source Energy]: 26231

Source Energy Points, these days he except breaking the Reading and Writing limit, did not spend even a bit.

Now he still has more than twenty thousand Source Energy Points.

While these days the greatest improvements were Reading and Writing and Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

[Skill]: Reading and Writing (eleven times Break Limit 7321/30000) (Trait: Unforgettable... Unity of Knowledge and Action, Heart Like a Bright Mirror, Born Holy, Natural Daoist Skill)

Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Great Success 9833/10000)

Reading and Writing, through the accumulation of these days, its experience value reached seven thousand odd.

But correspondingly, the Daoist Collection of thirty-six volumes he had already watched in entirety.

Now what he’s looking at are Buddhist scriptures.

Compared to the Daoist Collection of thirty-six volumes, he noticeably felt the efficiency of Buddhist scriptures at gaining experience value was slightly less.

About a ten percent drop in efficiency.

But compared to ordinary books, this is already a very suitable choice.

As for Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, it’s just two steps away from Perfection.

With his current efficiency, needs two more days.

This time period is just right for him.

Because tomorrow is to meet Shen Wenyan for routine work report.

Simultaneously he could get what he wanted, the Magic Gate to become a Grandmaster.

The timing of acquiring both is perfectly aligned.

Thinking of this, he closed the panel.

Then took out the Ice Coffin.

These days, this Ice Coffin has been following him with no anomalies.

Looking at the Ice Coffin in his hand, a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

Then he got up and walked inside the house, once he came out, the Ice Coffin was properly placed inside, and did not think of discarding it.

"I wonder if being separated by a room, it will still suddenly appear beside me!" Jiang Ning murmured to himself.

He began practicing boxing.

After many days of travel, although his body wasn’t tired, his mind was somewhat fatigued.

His figure resembled a tiger, a bear, an ape...

Five Animals Fist Formation, freely transformed in his hand, without a fixed pattern.

He was only stretching his bones, activating the circulation of his blood.

But the next moment. The source of this content ɪs novel fire.net

His eyes suddenly focused.

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

[Five Animals Fist Experience Value +1]

A series of notifications appeared before his eyes displaying the increase in Five Animals Fist Experience Value.

He retracted his fists and stood still, able to feel the boiling Qi-Blood surging inside.

Sweat beads surfaced on his forehead.

[This session of Five Animals Fist practice, total experience value increased by 7 points.]

Seeing this notification before him, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

"It seems I was narrow-minded before! My current boxing achievement has reached a level where it’s beyond fixed forms, no need to rigidly follow the Five Animals Fist boxing manual!"

He chuckled and shook his head slightly.

His previous mindset had clearly kept him confined.

"Young Master, the water is boiled!"

"I’m coming!" Jiang Ning responded, then moved.

After many days of travel, although physically not tired, his mind was somewhat weary.

He also needed a comfortable bath, to adjust his overall state.

Tomorrow, meeting Shen Wenyan the Great Grandmaster, Marquis Wen Yuan, Residence Master of Guangning Prefecture!
