Chapter 1834 - 171: Brother Xu—The Title Is Too Much For Me! (2)

There are only a few items that can truly be considered rare treasures.

However, this was what he expected.

After all, the truly rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have basically long been used; no one would think their strength is too strong.

For someone as powerful as Prince Zhenbei, any treasure that can enhance his power in the slightest would be used without hesitation.

Reaching this step, progressing further is incredibly difficult.

Any strong person understands that everything they have now absolutely relies on their own strength.

Strength is one’s capital.

Afterward, Jiang Ning stood up, moved swiftly, and arrived at the door of the council hall.

He opened a wooden box, his nose slightly moved, and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted through the air.

"Prince Zhenbei is considerate!" He nodded with satisfaction.

The next moment, he opened his mouth and inhaled deeply toward the wooden box in front of him.

Instantly.

A terrifying suction force erupted from his mouth.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the box he opened rose magically, flying towards him.

As they drew closer, the jade boxes and brocade cases shrank, eventually transforming into streams of light and flying into his mouth.

In just one breath, the wooden box before him was completely emptied.

"This... this... this..." Prince Zhenbei’s eyes widened, staring at this scene, his eyeballs like copper bells.

At this moment.

Jiang Ning only felt a rich medicinal scent in his abdomen, the essence surging like tides.

Those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, though not of high quality.

However, in sufficient quantity, they are enough to make up for some quality differences.

Right now, he could feel everything in his abdomen being rapidly swallowed and refined with his every breath, as the essence of the medicine exploded in his body, surging like waves.

One breath in, one breath out.

His body pores were wide open.

Prince Zhenbei instantly saw a lot of waste gases being expelled through Jiang Ning’s body pores.

There were waste gases from the jade boxes and brocade cases, as well as impurities from the medicines.

Watching this scene, he completely understood Jiang Ning’s earlier words.

The so-called "no matter the category, the more the better," was not a polite phrase, but rather Jiang Ning’s technique, incomparable to ordinary people.

With just one inhale, a box of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures entered his abdomen, refined with the effort of a breath, followed by the expulsion of waste gases and impurities.

Such frightening absorption efficiency and refining efficiency, placed on anyone, as long as resources are abundant, can make rapid progress and create legends.

"The prince’s methods, Brother Xu... admires!" Watching Jiang Ning slowly open his eyes, Prince Zhenbei remarked.

Jiang Ning said lightly: "To reach this step, I naturally have some extraordinary means!"

With his breaths.

The medicinal essence, previously surging like tides in his body, swiftly returned to calm.

[Source Points +8.7]

Seeing the prompt flash before him, he nodded inwardly.

A box of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures provided nearly nine points of source point accumulation for him.

The other three boxes, in his estimation, would be similar.

Meaning, just from Prince Zhenbei here, he could gain over thirty source points in total.

In his view, it wasn’t a small amount.

And placed in Celestial Palace City, though Prince Zhenbei is one of the strongest, the reserve of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is not the most.

Because Prince Zhenbei is considered an emerging prince, not forming a prosperous family.

With thoughts flashing in his mind, he moved to the second box.

Then, he raised his hand and slapped, the second wooden box opened accordingly.

He opened his mouth once again and inhaled.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the box flowed into his mouth like light.

He then closed his eyes and focused.

In just a few breaths, he reopened his eyes.

[Source Points +9.1]

"Not bad!" He nodded inwardly.

He proceeded to the third wooden box, raised his hand and slapped, the box lid opened accordingly, revealing the jade boxes and brocade cases containing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures inside.

As the lid opened, the medicinal fragrance spread all around, refreshing the mind.

He opened his mouth again and inhaled, the suction as if a whale swallowing the sea, and the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the box turned into streams of light, entering his mouth one after another.

As the medicinal power melted in his abdomen, his body pores expanded, strands of waste gas and impurities were expelled outside the body, turning into faint mist in the air, and soon dissipated.

A few breaths later, he slowly opened his eyes.

[Source Points +8.9]

"The fourth box." Jiang Ning silently thought to himself, his gaze falling on the last box.

Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen stood by the side, witnessing with his own eyes Jiang Ning’s horrifying method of swallowing and refining Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the tumult in his heart was difficult to calm.

His mansion’s reserves, a total of three large boxes.

Yet before Jiang Ning, in the span of a breath, they were all refined.

With one inhale, a box.

In the gap of a breath, all were refined.

Such methods, he had never heard of, never seen before.

At this moment, looking at Jiang Ning’s eyes, his heart was filled with even more awe.

With such methods, how could one worry about not improving strength?

He also saw that Jiang Ning’s refinements of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures left almost no residual impurities or toxins in the body.

The common Martial Artist’s concerns were no problem at all before Jiang Ning.

At this moment, Jiang Ning ignored the shock in Prince Zhenbei’s heart, he reached out and slapped open the fourth wooden box.

The box was also filled with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, though diverse in categories, they were considerable in quantity.

He took a deep breath, opened his mouth and inhaled.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the fourth box flew up, turned into streams of light, and entered his mouth.

Medicinal power exploded in his abdomen, like rivers rushing, quickly refined by his powerful devouring force internally, transformed into pure energy, merging with his body and primordial spirit, nourishing the flesh and soul.

[Source Points +9.3]

"Four boxes in total, gave thirty-six points of source points." Jiang Ning silently calculated, revealing a trace of satisfaction on his face.

Just from Prince Zhenbei’s collection, he was provided with thirty-six points of source points, this has already exceeded his expectations.

There is still much in Celestial Palace City, many more chambers of commerce, many families, all these can offer more source point accumulation for him.

With thoughts swirling in his mind, his gaze grew more determined.

He saved this city’s people, those people exchanged wealth and resources for life.

To him, this was very fair.

"Brother Xu!" He suddenly raised his head and spoke.

"King Luoshui is too courteous, Brother Xu is not something I dare to claim, just call me by name!" Prince Zhenbei cupped his hands, his tone carried a touch of respect.

Jiang Ning, hearing this, gave a soft laugh, waved his hand: "Brother Xu need not be so formal. You and I serve the same court, guard the Northern Border together, now even more so are in the same boat, fight against Beiman, why mind these decorums? The title ’Brother Xu’ is well-deserved."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhen’s heart warmed: "If so, then I dare to accept this title ’Brother Xu’ from the prince. Whatever orders from the prince, just speak, I shall exert all effort, though I may die a thousand deaths!"

Jiang Ning nodded, his gaze directed northwards: "Brother Xu, the North Barbarian State Preceptor, King Zhuanlun, has now received the aura blessing of the Great Snow Mountain God, his strength is formidable. Though I have some means, to ensure absolute security, more preparations are needed. Just now those Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have been of great aid to me, if more can be gathered from within the city, I’ll have even greater assurance."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhenbei Xu Zhen immediately cupped his hands: "Don’t worry my prince, I have just ordered to command all major families, chambers of commerce, and military officers within the city to deliver all Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to this place."

"Brother Xu, what do you say if ten days later, there is no one to resist the North Barbarian State Preceptor, and Celestial Palace City falls?" Jiang Ning suddenly asked.

Upon hearing, Xu Zhen’s heart shuddered, then replied: "If Beiman does not seal the path, the whole Celestial Palace City will become a living hell, scarcely anyone will escape!"

"Then using some resources now, exchanging for their lives, do you think this transaction is worthwhile?" Jiang Ning asked.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhen suddenly looked at Jiang Ning, instantly understanding.

He took a deep breath.

"The prince’s transaction is extremely worthwhile! Wealth is external! The prince now comes with a sacred decree, the entire city must cooperate fully with the prince’s arrangements! Those who hide, do not cooperate, are akin to rebellion, treason! I know what to do!"

As the words fell, Xu Zhen solemnly cupped his hands towards Jiang Ning.

"Give them a chance, don’t harm their families!" Jiang Ning said.

"The prince is kind-hearted!" Xu Zhen cupped his hands again towards Jiang Ning, then took his leave and departed.
