Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

"Little Dumpling, let's go!" Jiang Ning stood up and took Little Dumpling Jiang Yuanyuan's hand, speaking.

"Doo-doo, time to eat!!" Little Dumpling showed a face full of joy.

...

Entering the main hall, Jiang Ning saw that his sister-in-law, Liuu Wanwan, was already seated.

At this moment, although Liuu Wanwan was dressed plainly, she exuded an air of grace. Her appearance and demeanor were not like that of an ordinary woman, both were top-notch.

Even though she dressed plainly, she still caught one's eye, unlike a common housewife confined by daily household chores.

At this time, four bowls of thin porridge were laid out on the round wooden table in front of them, and at the center of the table was a dish of pickles and steaming hot vegetables freshly out of the pot.

"Sister-in-law, where is Big Brother?" Jiang Ning took Little Dumpling and sat down.

He glanced at the bowl of porridge in front of him and noticed that today's porridge seemed thinner than usual.

*His mind stirred slightly, but he said nothing. He understood that with the recent surge in grain prices, there wasn't much surplus in the house.*

"Your Big Brother is still at the government office, he said he'd come back for lunch before he left!"

Jiang Ning nodded and was momentarily speechless.

A moment later.

Jiang Ning finished the thin porridge in his bowl.

"Sister-in-law, I'm done eating!" he said as he got up.

"Wait!" Liuu Wanwan stopped Jiang Ning, who was about to leave.

Seeing Jiang Ning's puzzled look, Liuu Wanwan, as his sister-in-law, turned around and picked up a gray shirt from behind her.

"I've sewn up the shirt for you, take it and put it on!"

"Later, bring out your dirty laundry for a change, I'll wash it for you!"

Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then calmly took the mended shirt from Liuu Wanwan's hand.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law!!" he slowly said.

After Jiang Ning left, a young boy finally walked out from the house.

"Guoguo, finish your porridge!!" Jiang Yuanyuan, seeing this thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, patted the chair beside her, then adjusted her posture by the table.

...

After handing over the dirty laundry to his sister-in-law, Jiang Ning returned to the small courtyard once he was done with his chores.

[Immortal Divine Ability Introduction]

Looking at this book brought to him by Little Dumpling, Jiang Ning's heart couldn't help but heat up.

*With this book, his skill in reading and writing could soon break through.*

*Especially seeing the title of this book, his interest grew even more.*

*Having come to this world for more than two months, he still didn't know if he had traveled here or awakened the mystery in the womb.*

*He only knew that both he and his predecessor had the same name, and even their appearances were about seventy to eighty percent similar, which was quite miraculous.*

*So many days had passed, he no longer dwelled on it and had long accepted his current identity.*

*At the same time, he absorbed the memories of his predecessor and gained a certain understanding of this world.*

*Before Great Xia, it was a world where immortals, divine beings, and demons coexisted.*

*The tales of immortals and divine beings existed in his previous life too, so he was particularly interested in this book.*

Jiang Ning slowly opened [Immortal Divine Ability Introduction], focusing intently as he carefully flipped through it.

Silently, a prompt flashed before his eyes.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

...

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

...

The rising sun gradually climbed high.

The morning's coolness had long vanished, and the ground gradually became scorching.

Sitting under the grapevine trellis, Jiang Ning's forehead began to sweat lightly.

At this moment, Jiang Ning remained unfazed, all his focus gathered on the [Immortal Divine Ability Introduction] before him.

After a long while.

A waft of smoke drifted to Jiang Ning's nose, and he finally came back to reality.

[This time, by reading the book, his Literacy and Judgement Experience Value increased by 29 points.]

He looked up at the sky and instantly saw the blazing sun hanging overhead.

"It's almost noon!" he murmured to himself.

He quickly reopened his panel.

[Skill]: Reading and Writing (Perfect 997/1000) (Trait: None)

"Only three experience points away from being full!"

*His heart was filled with excitement, and he immediately refocused on the [Immortal Divine Ability Introduction] before him.*

Just at this moment.

A burly middle-aged man wearing a black robe with a longsword slung around his waist stepped into the courtyard.

He saw Jiang Ning deeply engrossed in the book and couldn't help but show a gratifying smile.

Particularly seeing the book title in Jiang Ning's hand, he grinned even more.

"My brother has finally grown up!" he self-murmured.

Afterward, he quietly walked towards the kitchen.

"Wife!" Seeing the busy woman, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a gentle gaze.

"You're back?"

"Mm-hmm!" the middle-aged man responded softly.

"Why are you coming back later and later recently?"

"The world isn't well, Luoshui County is becoming more unsettled, and our pressure is increasing," the middle-aged man said.

"I see! Hopefully, nothing goes wrong!"

"I won't let anything happen!" the middle-aged man reassured, "Your man might be mediocre in martial skills, but runs faster than anyone else when sensing something amiss!"

"Always boasting!" The woman smiled slightly, whispering, then said, "Hurry and wash up, then take good care of Little Dumpling! Little Dumpling will cry if she wakes up and doesn't see anyone!"

"Alright!" the middle-aged man nodded.

Before leaving the kitchen, he grinned again, "Wife, did you see? Ah Ning has truly grown up these days!"

Hearing this, the busy Liuu Wanwan paused in her tasks.

"You and your brother!!" She shook her head again, "You treat him better than your own son!"

The middle-aged man understood the subtle resentment in his wife's heart.

He approached Liuu Wanwan from behind and hugged her waist, "These years have been a grievance for you to be with me!!"

The kitchen instantly fell silent.

Moments later.

Liuu Wanwan patted the hands around her waist.

"You smell bad, go take a bath!"

"Got it!!" the middle-aged man chuckled in response.

...

Elsewhere.

[Literacy and Judgement Experience Value +1]

...

[This time, by reading the book, his Literacy and Judgement Experience Value increased by 3 points.]

Seeing this prompt flash, Jiang Ning's eyes lit up with intense joy.

He immediately opened his panel.

[Skill]: Reading and Writing + (Perfect 1000/1000) (Trait: None)

"Finally full!" he felt a silent sense of fulfillment in his heart.

The next moment.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Because at this moment, a change had occurred in his panel, unlike anything he had seen before. A plus sign appeared after the skill of reading and writing.

*Before this, whether it was from beginner to master, or breaking through from small success to great success, it all happened naturally. Once the experience value was full, a breakthrough would follow.*

*This time, however, it was entirely different. The experience value required for a perfect level breakthrough had been met, yet no breakthrough to the next level occurred, only a plus sign appeared after the skill of reading and writing.*

Looking at his panel, Jiang Ning concentrated his thoughts on that plus sign.
