Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Back courtyard.

Zhao Yulong chuckled: "Why, does Master Bai not wish to invite me in for a drink?"

"Of course!" Bai Luoyu said, then stepped aside to make way, while gesturing: "Residence Master, please!"

Following Zhao Yulong as he stepped into the back courtyard.

"Such a delightful scent!" He immediately noticed the fish meat already placed on the table, and displayed a friendly demeanor.

"You arrived just in time, Residence Master. Please join me in tasting the meat of this rare fish demon with over two hundred years of extraordinary skill!" Bai Luoyu said.

"Meat from a fish demon with over two hundred years of skill?" Zhao Yulong cast a perplexed glance at Bai Luoyu.

Then he continued: "Where on earth did Master Bai acquire such a rare item?"

"It's brought by Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu smiled.

Hearing this.

Zhao Yulong looked towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said: "I happened upon a fish demon with over two hundred years of skill at Luoshui Lake by chance, so I took the opportunity to slaughter it."

Zhao Yulong expressed sentiment: "To cultivate over two hundred years of skill in this era is truly rare; unfortunately, it met its untimely end, falling prey to fate. You were its destined calamity."

Having said that, the three of them took their seats.

Zhao Yulong said: "Given that the fish demon cultivated over two hundred years of skill, it must also have treasured belongings with it, right?"

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Bai Luoyu spoke first, filled with envy: "Residence Master guessed rightly. Just now Brother Jiang mentioned, it was a fortuitous encounter of his, acquiring a Hundred-year-old Thunder Fruit."

"So that's it!" Zhao Yulong nodded slightly: "That makes sense. No wonder Commander Jiang's abilities are so profound, so extraordinary!"

Jiang Ning laughed: "Good luck."

Zhao Yulong said: "Good luck indicates deep blessings and fortune! On the martial arts path, having deep blessings and fortune is extremely important for long-term progress. I've encountered quite a few fortuitous events to reach where I am now."

Upon hearing this, the two nodded immediately.

Jiang Ning also wholeheartedly agreed with Zhao Yunlong's perspective.

Every successful person, looking back at past experiences, realizes luck plays a significant role.

Just like in his previous life, he achieved modest success.

Looking back, he sometimes felt fortunate.

This is why wealthy merchants particularly believe in feng shui and fate.

Because success undeniably relies on luck.

Bai Luoyu smiled and said: "Residence Master, let's eat before talking!"

"Good, let's eat first! Let me taste this fish demon meat with over two hundred years of skill." Zhao Yulong also appeared quite eager: "Such a rare delicacy; I have never tasted it before, truly fortunate thanks to Master Bai!"

Bai Luoyu chuckled: "This credit goes to Brother Jiang."

As the words fell.

He gestured with his hand.

The maidservant waiting nearby ran over with small steps.

"Master!" The maidservant greeted respectfully.

Bai Luoyu said: "Apply the final touch to this roasted fish!"

"Yes, Master!" The maidservant replied.

Then, she picked up the wine pot with both hands.

Zhao Yulong and Jiang Ning watched the maidservant's actions attentively.

Bai Luoyu's maidservant poured the wine evenly over the roasted fish.

Then she took out a fire stick from her sleeve.

She gently blew after opening the fire stick, and the flame rose.

As soon as the flame touched the wine on the roasted fish, a layer of deep blue flame danced before everyone.

Instantly.

The flame intensified, spreading the aroma of wine mixed with the rich aroma of meat.

"Very aromatic!" Zhao Yulong smiled and nodded.

Bai Luoyu said: "Residence Master, you haven't mentioned who else of similar caliber you met these two days alongside Brother Jiang?"

Zhao Yulong said: "There was a young monk from Vajra Temple, who appears similar in age to Commander Jiang, yet has already comprehended the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man."

"Unity of Heaven and Man?" Bai Luoyu was instantly taken aback.

"Yes!" Zhao Yulong nodded, reflecting: "Unity of Heaven and Man is one of the prerequisites for achieving the status of Heavenly Person Grandmaster. If I had comprehended this realm, I would have already reached the status of Heavenly Person Grandmaster."

"Monster!!!" Bai Luoyu slowly uttered the words.

"Indeed, a monster!" Zhao Yulong earnestly nodded: "The young monk's comprehension is extraordinarily fearsome!"

"According to an agreement ten years ago with a high monk from Vajra Temple, a couple of days ago I taught the young monk the Canglong Strike. Within merely a day, he had completely mastered it, not falling short in mastery compared to me!"

At this moment.

Upon hearing Zhao Yunlong's words, Jiang Ning recalled the young monk he saw at Shuangyang Mountain.

"Could it be him?"

After a brief contemplation, Jiang Ning felt that the young monk Zhao Yulong mentioned was likely the one he had seen at Shuangyang Mountain earlier.

After all, the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Few have mastered it.

Not to mention matching the monk with youth.

"Vajra Temple indeed deserves its reputation as one of the finest sects in the world!" Jiang Ning thought with admiration.

Unity of Heaven and Man.

Is the most direct entry ticket to achieving the status of Heavenly Person Grandmaster.

Even Zhao Yulong, the Residence Master of Dongling City Inspection Mansion, a figure at the pinnacle of Dongling County's hierarchy, has not mastered Unity of Heaven and Man.

Which shows just how difficult it is to master Unity of Heaven and Man.

Yet a young monk from Vajra Temple has achieved it.

This made Jiang Ning marvel at the deep foundation of Vajra Temple.

"Truly, there is always a mountain beyond mountains and a person beyond persons!!" Bai Luoyu expressed with immense admiration.

Zhao Yulong wholeheartedly agreed and nodded.

"The farther one travels along the martial path, the more one feels the gap between oneself and others, as vast as a heavenly chasm."

"Residence Master, as a Grandmaster, do you truly feel this way?" Bai Luoyu asked.

Zhao Yulong shook his head: "Between Grandmasters, there's also great diversity!"
