Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

[Using the Body Tempering Paste increases your Iron Armor Technique proficiency!]

A line of gold-red characters appeared before Jiang Wangzu's eyes.

"Keep practicing martial arts."

"Through exercise and my pounding, you can effectively promote the absorption of the Xuan Tie Gao (a traditional Chinese medicine plaster)!"

Jiang Wangzu practiced with Han Qiao for another hour or so, and then he felt a cool sensation wash over him.

The burning sensation subsided, and the ever-increasing feeling ceased.

This made him feel somewhat empty.

Just then, the medicinal bath that Chen Liujia had prepared for Jiang Wangzu was completed.

Chen Liujia invited Jiang Wangzu to take a medicinal bath.

Then he and Han Qiao started talking outside.

"Ah Qiao, how are you feeling?"

Chen Liujia asked.

"After getting close, I felt that the extreme yin and cold energy in my body was suppressed even more."

"Perhaps I don't need dual cultivation; I can use the yang energy in Azu's body to completely suppress the extreme yin cold evil within my body."

"Once I reach the Innate Realm, I can reverse my innate nature and naturally reshape my bones and meridians, completely curing my Three Yin Meridians."

"In this way, it will not only fulfill my wishes, but also fulfill the wishes of Azu and Ruyu."

Han Qiao spoke up.

"It's difficult."

"And it takes too long."

"This kid can wait, but you can't."

"You should think about it some more."

"I think this kid has feelings for you."

"What man isn't lustful?"

"By the way, how was the effect of that kid using the Xuan Tie Ointment? How much of its medicinal power did he absorb?"

Chen Liujia asked with some curiosity.

"I used most of a jar of Xuan Tie Ointment, covering my entire body, including my face."

"But I felt that he wasn't in that much pain; on the contrary, he seemed to be enjoying it."

"As for the effects, they are very significant. His physical body has been significantly strengthened. It took him more than an hour to absorb almost 100% of the medicinal power."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that someone with such a constitution could exist in this world."

Han Qiao also spoke with a serious expression.

"The world is full of wonders."

"There's nothing strange about it."

"However, this also means that, given enough resources, this kid's future achievements are limitless."

"Even I, an old man, am tempted to take on a disciple."

Chen Liujia revealed a meaningful smile.

"But his physical constitution is too poor."

"This means that if he wants to break through to the next level, he will need three to five times, or even ten times, more resources than a martial arts genius with exceptional talent."

"Is the little stock you have enough for him to manufacture?"

Han Qiao glanced at Chen Liujia and spoke.

"His body is like a bottomless pit!"

"This is difficult!"

"Let's take another look!"

"If we can trade resources for time, I don't think anyone would be willing to do so."

"pity."

"I still don't have enough of the secret medicine."

"Ugh!"

Chen Liujia said with great regret, but his gaze fell on the window in the distance.

Inside that room, Jiang Wangzu was practicing his Iron Armor Technique to absorb the medicinal power.

He felt his physical strength continuously increasing.

[Using the medicinal bath increases your proficiency in Iron Armor Kung Fu!]

The golden-red lettering reappeared before my eyes.

This shows that after learning that he was a promising talent, Old Master Chen invested heavily in him.

At this rate, Jiang Wangzu felt that his external martial arts technique, Iron Armor Skill, would break through to the Great Perfection realm before his main martial arts technique, Black Tiger Fist!

This is absolutely wonderful!

For the next period of time, Jiang Wangzu became extremely busy.

He would come to Chen Liujia's place every three days to accompany Han Qiao in her martial arts practice.

Han Qiao was no longer as cold to him as before; instead, she became increasingly enthusiastic.

Firstly, because he demonstrated his talent and value.

Secondly, it's because of his succubus talent; the longer he spends with a woman, the more she will fall for him.

Every three days, he would use a dose of Xuan Tie Ointment and a medicinal bath.

His proficiency in Iron Armor Kung Fu improved by leaps and bounds.

Besides coming to Chen Liujia's place, he would go to Jishetang every evening to find Xiaoyixian, drink a bowl of Black Tiger Mountain secret medicine, and then accompany Xiaoyixian home.

He didn't go to find Ru Meng, because after Han Qiao learned that he was short of money, she directly gave him three thousand silver dollars, enough for him to master the Black Tiger Fist.

Before he masters the Black Tiger Fist, he won't have to worry about money.

During this period, he would occasionally visit his sister-in-law to release his pent-up energy.

He admitted that his sister-in-law was already the pinnacle of what this young woman in Shanghai could achieve.

But Chen Tai goes out to fool around every day and never comes home, so he gets all the benefits.

A small courtyard room on Rongsheng Street.

Jiang Wangzu embraced his sister-in-law Xu Zhenzhen, whose face was flushed and who looked like a lump of mud, and entered a state of post-coital bliss.

"Sister-in-law."

"Now my strength is no less than Chen Tai's, but I am still a lowly scoundrel in the Cao Gang."

"How should I improve my standing within the gang?"

Jiang Wangzu spoke up.

Through his interactions with her during this period, he discovered that his sister-in-law, Xu Zhenzhen, was not a naive and innocent person; she was very knowledgeable about all the big and small matters within the Canal Gang.

She herself said that she learned the news while having afternoon tea and playing cards with the wives of the middle and upper-level members of the Grand Canal Gang.

However, Jiang Wangzu felt that this was not the case.

However, since his sister-in-law was unwilling to talk about it, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

"You're just too good at hiding your abilities!"

"According to the normal promotion logic, you should work your way up from the bottom to get noticed by your boss, and then be promoted by your boss to become a core member of the Canal Gang."

"Then they enter the upper echelons' view, are promoted by the upper echelons, become mid-level leaders, and have their own business or territory."

"As your territory continues to expand, and you have more and more men under your command, the fees you hand over to the canal gang will increase."

"Then the higher-ups will naturally notice you, give you a higher status, more real power, and even let you join the Canal Gang Elders' Council and become an elder."

"In the future, you could even be promoted to one of the seven executive elders and help the leader make decisions on some matters."

"But because you hid it so well, Chen Tai had no idea what you were capable of."

"Therefore, Chen Tai cannot recommend you to become a core member of the Canal Gang."

"Besides, given how petty Chen Tai is, he wouldn't recommend you."

"Zhou Wei has followed him for so long and done so many things for him, yet he still hasn't recommended Zhou Wei to become a core member of the Canal Gang."

"He didn't even recommend his cousin."

"Every year, he would sell his recommendation slots to others and get a large sum of money, which he used to indulge in drinking, gambling, and prostitution."

Xu Zhenzhen knew everything about the Grand Canal Gang and Chen Tai.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wangzu realized that following Chen Tai was truly like going hungry for three days and nine meals a day!
