Mastering the Martial Dao Through One Hundred Thousand Salt-Making Attempts

Chu Ning was a lowly salt slave at the very bottom of the Great Liang Dynasty, born into a family of salt-boilers. Every day he boiled brine to make salt, and others held his life and death in their hands.

Until he discovered that every batch of salt he boiled was adding proficiency to a body-tempering Iron Shirt technique.

[Fate of Dripping Water Wears Through Stone: Every effort brings a reward, and everything learned can be quantified.]

After boiling salt 100,000 times, he reached the peak of body tempering. After two months of hard training, his body could overpower an eighth-rank expert.

The threshold others spent ten years struggling to reach, he crossed after spending two months in a salt well.

Starting with a pot of brine, he slew an eighth-rank gang leader, seized Dugu's lost martial inheritance, stormed an auction, and entered the Demon-Suppressing Pavilion...

The salt slave whom everyone had ground into the dirt would ultimately take up his blade and ascend the throne of the First-Rank Martial God.

"I didn't boil salt 100,000 times just to spend my whole life as a salt-boiler."

"I did it to reach the divine through martial arts."
