With his current conditions, he can complete this quickly.

Now, he just needs to wait for time to settle, allowing him to completely undergo the transformation and life evolution brought by the first blood exchange.

...

In front of Tingzhu Pavilion.

Knock, knock, knock —

The sound of three knocks on the courtyard door echoed.

At this moment, the gradually setting sunlight had softened considerably, casting a gentle, warm yellow hue on the courtyard door.

Jiang Ning's shadow was also stretched long and slanting.

Inside the courtyard, footsteps sounded hurriedly.

Soon after.

Creak —

The bearings turned, and the courtyard door slowly opened.

Lv Yi pulled open the courtyard door and saw Jiang Ning standing there with a smile.

"Young Master!!" Lv Yi's eyes immediately lit up with joy.

"Opened the door pretty quickly!" Jiang Ning chuckled.

"Because I guessed it was you, Young Master!" Lv Yi said with a smile.

Jiang Ning smiled at her words and then stepped over the threshold.

Lv Yi hurriedly closed the courtyard door behind him and followed up.

"Young Master..." Lv Yi looked at Jiang Ning cautiously and asked, "Did you succeed?"

Looking at Lv Yi's head tilted and blinking eyes, Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.

"Succeeded!"

"Really succeeded?!!" Lv Yi's eyes widened suddenly.

Jiang Ning smiled warmly and nodded again.

Seeing Jiang Ning's repeated affirmation, Lv Yi's face immediately radiated with a smile, eyes full of joy.

Jiang Ning could feel that Lv Yi was genuinely happy for him.

He then reached out and gently ruffled Lv Yi's head, who was half a head shorter than him.

"Go get ready, let's go out and celebrate properly!"

"Yes, Young Master!!!" Lv Yi's face was full of excitement.

A moment later.

The two headed out again, heading straight for Jiuxiao Building.

Along the way, Jiang Ning already felt his stomach rumbling with hunger.

It was due to his body lacking energy supplies.

Creating new blood to supply his whole body had consumed a large amount of his physical energy.

Without the supplementation of great medicine, it would be difficult for him to return to peak state for a long time.

...

A moment later.

In front of Jiuxiao Building.

The setting sun hung over the distant mountains.

Warm yellow light enveloped this bustling, noisy city.

"Sir, you're here!!"

Seeing Jiang Ning enter, the little servant who already knew him instantly greeted him.

Seeing it was a familiar face, Jiang Ning took out a tael of broken silver and tossed it over.

"Take me to the third floor, find a quiet spot!"

"Sure, sir!" The little servant immediately bowed and nodded, feeling the weight of the broken silver in his hand, his heart couldn't help but be joyful.

Just this tael of broken silver could pay him to run errands for a month.

And he earned this considerable wage only at a famous establishment like Jiuxiao Building.

...

On the third floor.

Still that seat by the window.

"Sir, same as yesterday?" the little servant asked while bowing.

"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded and added, "And a steamed White Dragon Fish!"

"Alright, sir!" The little servant nodded repeatedly.

Then turned and left.

A moment later.

He first brought up two pots of wine and three side dishes.

Once the little servant left.

Jiang Ning sipped his liquor, looking at the still busy people outside the window, feeling an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.

Lv Yi, who had already sat down beside him.

Cupping the wine glass with both hands, taking small sips of Qionghua Dew, her face was slightly flushed.

"Young Master, this life is really nice!" Lv Yi suddenly sighed.

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Indeed, this life is comfortable!"

When half a pot of wine had gone down, the dishes were brought up one after another.

Jiang Ning then no longer held back and began to devour the dishes brought to the table.

He could distinctly feel that the meat entered his stomach, quickly breaking down, turning into energy absorbed by his body.

But compared to what his body was lacking at the moment, these ordinary elements were no more than a cup of water to a burning cart, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Just enough to taste the flavors.

"I still need to figure out a way to get some great medicine!" Jiang Ning thought to himself.

He suddenly remembered that when he came to Guangning City to meet Wang Qintan, Wang Qintan gave him a thousand tael gold ticket, telling him not to treat himself poorly while in Guangning City.

Thinking about this, his heart suddenly softened.

And this is the capital he can now use to replenish his body.

Only by quickly replenishing his physical consumption can he prepare for the Second Blood Transfusion, and even the Third Blood Transfusion.

A moment later.

Jiang Ning quickly scanned the food on the table.

He could feel the food entering his stomach, swiftly breaking down into Essence Qi, and being absorbed by his body.

But compared to what his body needs now, it was still just a drop in the bucket.

Until he saw the steamed White Dragon Fish served on the table.

Jiang Ning could not help but be filled with some anticipation.

The White Dragon Fish, he had caught a demonized one in the Luoshui River before.

Not only was it exceptionally delicious, but it was also highly nutritious, exactly the kind of spirit fish he needed now.

He then shared a fish head with Lv Yi.

The palm-sized White Dragon Fish was devoured by him in just a few breaths.

"Average!" he savored it for a moment, musing inwardly.

Compared to the demonized White Dragon Fish he caught back then, this one was evidently too ordinary.

Not only was its size barely enough to cram through his teeth.

The energy contained within the fish meat was also too insufficient, barely worth mentioning.

At this moment.

Lv Yi watched as Jiang Ning chewed the fish bones to pieces and swallowed them, holding onto the fish head in a daze.

She looked down at the fish head in her hand, then at Jiang Ning.

Hesitated for a moment.

Although she loved eating fish heads, she still placed the fish head in front of Jiang Ning.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning smiled.

He gently rubbed her head.

"You eat it!!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

He took out a bottle of wine he had treasured for a long time, soaked in the Taiyin Stone.

Opening the cork, the golden threads mixed with silver slurry could be seen swirling inside.

Then, he took a sip directly from the bottle.

As the wine entered his stomach, a chill came, which his body quickly dissolved.

He immediately felt waves of jubilation from within his body.

It was the joy of a body in dire need of energy finding a bit of supplement.

Like a parched desert, suddenly encountering a gentle drizzle.

Though it couldn't completely resolve the drought, it eased it considerably.

"Only these kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!" Jiang Ning sighed and marveled, his mind immersed in the body's jubilation.

Then, he took another small sip of wine, and his body once again received a shower of nourishment.

Every cell rejoiced once more.

At the corner, Lv Yi was holding the White Dragon Fish's head, vigorously sucking on it, disregarding any ladylike demeanor.

...

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere.

Luoshui River.

A dragon with scales all white and no horn on its forehead slowly emerged from the water.

It looked at the peaceful little fishing village in the distance, basked in the sunset, its eyes filled with a greed for the delicacies of flesh and blood.

The White Chi, previously wounded by Ye Zhengqi, had evidently returned anew at this moment.

...

The night lights began to shine.

Wanhua Building.

Standing before the grand entrance, gazing at the brightly lit, six-story Wanhua Building.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but have a thought flash through his mind.

Could he possibly encounter Shen Congyun here?

Ever since he learned that Shen Wenyan, the Great Grandmaster, was from the Xichuan Shen Family, and Shen Congyun was also from the Xichuan Shen Family, he finally understood why Shen Congyun could so confidently help him back then.

Also understanding that even if Shen Congyun broke the rules, Wanhua Building wouldn't likely impose any penalties.

Because Shen Wenyan and Shen Congyun were even relatives, specifically uncle and nephew.

Shen Wenyan is Shen Congyun's uncle.

Just like his relationship with Jiang Yiming.

So with Shen Wenyan around, no matter how Shen Congyun broke the rules of Wanhua Building, they wouldn't push things too far.

After all, even before Shen Wenyan became a Second Grade Grandmaster, he was already a Supreme Heavenly Human Grandmaster with Four Blood Transfusions.

And now, he has become something extraordinary.

Having entered the Second Grade, assumed the post of Residence Master of the Inspection Office in Guangning Prefecture, and was granted the title of Marquis.

Whether in power or status, there's a world of difference from the previous Shen Wenyan.

With this, Shen Congyun's treatment would surely improve.

Thinking of Shen Congyun, Jiang Ning also felt a silent gratitude in his heart.

If not for Shen Congyun's wholehearted help, how could he achieve such accomplishments today?

Even if he could reach today's heights, it would have taken much more time.

Then.

He led Lv Yi towards the brightly lit Wanhua Building.

He now urgently needs great medicine to replenish his body's consumption!
