Chapter 1769 - 139: Taiyin Stone, Farewell to the Moon Palace Maiden!

Li River Water Palace.

Above the water pavilion.

Jiang Ning glanced at the wine in the pot and poured it into his mouth.

The golden liquid transformed into a thin thread and fell straight into his mouth.

As soon as the wine entered his throat, a cool chill began to spread from his abdomen, and his Spirit Platform instantly became ethereal.

He suddenly felt as if a clear moon rose in his heart, its hauntingly cold essence spreading all over his Spirit Platform, pouring over his Primordial Spirit.

At this moment, the emotions in his heart were suppressed to a state of utmost calmness.

He quietly felt the changes the wine brought to him as it entered his body.

A moment later.

He opened his eyes and looked at the wine pot in his hand.

"I almost forgot about this thing!"

"Master!" At this moment, Linglong saw Jiang Ning regain consciousness and appeared pitiable, softly calling out.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but laugh.

"Do you want to drink too?"

"Mm-hmm!" Linglong nodded repeatedly, looked eagerly at the wine pot in Jiang Ning’s hand, her big eyes staring fixedly, her throat slightly moving.

"Open your mouth!" Jiang Ning said.

He then raised his hand, and the golden wine in the pot rose into the air like a thread.

Seeing this, Linglong quickly opened her mouth.

The wine, like a golden thread, traced a beautiful arc in the air and precisely fell into Linglong’s slightly open mouth.

As soon as the wine entered, Linglong’s whole body shuddered, her cheeks tinted with a blush, and a trace of intoxication flashed in her eyes.

"Great wine!!" She smacked her lips, licked the corner of her lips with lingering pleasure, and her gaze at Jiang Ning grew even more eager, "Master, it’s even better than before, can I have another sip?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning raised his hand, and another stream of wine accurately fell into her mouth.

Then, he looked toward the bank.

The Old Turtle had already quietly crawled ashore, just watching Jiang Ning without making a sound.

"Old Turtle, come here!" Jiang Ning beckoned.

The Old Turtle, eagerly watching Jiang Ning, immediately moved all its limbs and swiftly crawled over.

"Master!" It looked at Jiang Ning with excitement, seemingly understanding why Jiang Ning called it.

"Open your mouth!" Jiang Ning said.

He then raised his hand, and the golden liquid formed an arc in the air, precisely falling into the Old Turtle’s mouth.

"Thank you, Master!" After swallowing the wine, the Old Turtle expressed its gratitude with excitement.

"Lately, have you been a bit afraid of me?" Jiang Ning looked at the Old Turtle and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, the Old Turtle retracted its neck.

Then it hesitantly nodded.

"Master’s insight, indeed a little."

"Why?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Because I, Old Turtle, feel that the gap with Master is too vast, too vast. I, Old Turtle, am not like Princess Linglong, who is already a Transformed Demon. I am just a turtle with a few hundred years of Dao."

As he continued, the Old Turtle’s tone grew somewhat dejected, then it continued.

"Master is now an Immortal, with even those ranked second in the world defeated by Master. The level between Master and me is already too massive! In front of Master, I am no different from an ant, the disparity in the level of life makes me feel like I’m looking at a god, an Immortal. I feel that accompanying Master now, I can’t be of any help and am only embarrassing Master."

Jiang Ning heard this and smiled.

He waved his hand, and another stream of golden wine accurately fell into the Old Turtle’s mouth.

"You have a long lifespan; just live well! When I achieve Martial Saint, you will become a Transformed Demon! By then, your mindset will change! In the future, as long as the turtle clan lives long enough, one day, you will become an ancestor."

"Master, I am a turtle!" the Old Turtle muttered again.

Jiang Ning laughed, shaking his head, "All right, you are a turtle. So just live well, and if you live long enough, one day, you will also become the ancestor of the turtle clan."

The Old Turtle heard this, its eyes slightly reddened, lowered its head, and responded respectfully, "Yes, Master, I will remember."

Jiang Ning said nothing more and instead looked at the wine pot in his hand.

Then he went for the pot.

Gulp—

Gulp—

Jiang Ning drank a few more sips, the golden wine surged into his throat, and the cool essence of the moon spread within his body, as if a cold Mingyue rose in his Spirit Platform, the moonlight cool and quiet falling on his Primordial Spirit.

He closed his eyes, quietly feeling the effect of the wine infused with Taiyin Stone on his Primordial Spirit.

The yin chill, compared to the Mysterious Yin Jade Marrow and Mysterious Netherworld Grass, was not as vast and pure but prevailed in being continuous, gentle, and enduring.

Like a steady stream, it nourished the depleted Taiyin essence in his Primordial Spirit, gradually strengthening his foundation.

A moment later.

[Source Point +1.7]

The prompt flashed before his eyes.

Breathe—

He let out a long, cold breath, where the air condensed into tiny ice crystals.

He looked down at the wine pot in his hand, the wine already consumed.

The energy contained within was absorbed and refined by him, transformed into the growth of source points, also making the foundation of his Primordial Spirit more balanced.

"Consuming this Taiyin Stone might lead to a different change!" the thought flashed in his mind.

Then, his five fingers exerted slight force.

Crack—

The wine pot in his hand shattered instantly, wood fragments splattered, and the Taiyin Stone merged together fell into his palm.

The Taiyin Stone in his hand exuded a dim light, emanating faint chills, causing the flow of blood in his palm to slow considerably.

"Taiyin Stone!" he murmured.

This large piece of Taiyin Stone in his hand was something he had recently scavenged from the bottom of Luoshui Lake.

Thirty-seven fragments combined to form a whole piece.

Now, it seems, the value of this Taiyin Stone far exceeds what he initially recognized.
