Jiang Chuan opened his eyes in the early morning.

Refreshed.

Last night's sleep was the most restful he had ever had since he transmigrated.

The aroma of rice already filled the room.

Liu Yue'e got up even earlier than him, cooked the porridge, and was busy at the stove.

Hearing him get up, she visibly stiffened.

Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't dare to look at him.

He walks with a limp.

Jiang Chuan saw this but smiled without saying a word.

……

Liu Yue'e was in a state of great turmoil.

She still feels like she's dreaming about what happened last night.

Ogawa... how could he do this!

In name only, she was still Jiang Chuan's sister-in-law, even though she hadn't even formally met Jiang Chuan's brother-in-law more than a few times.

But we shouldn't just leave it like this, in such a muddled way...

She wanted to get angry.

But I can't bring myself to be angry.

Ultimately, after all these years of relying on each other, her life has long been tied to this family.

What she couldn't understand was that Xiao Chuan's body was as thin as paper.

How come... he's so strong...?

Recalling the embarrassing scene from last night, her ears burned again.

She was afraid that others would notice something was amiss, so she tried her best to keep quiet while walking.

Jiang Chuan's gaze lingered on her, making her feel even hotter.

Jiang Chuan leaned against the doorframe and slowly began to speak:

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"

"N-I wasn't thinking about anything!"

Liu Yue'e was startled. She grabbed the basin and ran into the yard, limping as she went.

Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Last night, after he persistently persuaded her for half the night, Liu Yue'e was finally convinced.

That job at Chunjinglou is completely over from today onwards.

To put her mind at ease, Jiang Chuan didn't rest for a moment. After breakfast, he picked up his bow and plunged back into the mountains.

This continued for several days.

Whoosh!

An arrow shot through the air and pierced deep into the body of a wild boar.

The arrow shaft was almost halfway in, with only the tail feathers trembling slightly outside.

"snort……!"

The wild boar, in pain, let out a roar and charged wildly through the forest like a madman.

It knocked down saplings as thick as a bowl.

The bushes were smashed to pieces by it.

Jiang Chuan did not get too close.

He was like a seasoned hunter, following the wild boar at a distance, quietly waiting for death to come.

The wild boar's blood left a crooked trail in the forest.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, the wild boar was completely unable to run anymore.

Midway through, it turned back and glared at Jiang Chuan, snorted twice, and then staggered forward a few more steps.

Finally, he collapsed under an old tree, panting heavily, the fierce light gone from his eyes.

Jiang Chuan stepped forward, drew his wood-chopping knife from his waist, and with a swift stroke, severed its neck.

Scalding hot pig's blood gushed out.

"This is good stuff, we can't waste it."

Jiang Chuan was prepared; he took out his water bag and filled it to the brim.

The leather bag quickly bulged.

Pig's blood is a highly nutritious food.

If I use the Extraction of All Things later, this blood won't be able to be saved.

Once the bag was full, Jiang Chuan reached out and placed his hand on the pig carcass.

A thought crossed my mind.

[Extraction successful! Gained +2 Qi and Blood!]

A surge of scalding heat rushed into his body, and Jiang Chuan's skin flushed red, his whole body radiating heat.

Snap!

His bones cracked and popped.

It was visibly as if he had grown two centimeters taller on the spot!

"call……"

After Jiang Chuan and the others finished their transformation, he let out a long breath, his eyes becoming even brighter.

[Realm/Boundary: None]

[Qi and Blood: 5.86]

【Spirit:???】

5.86!

It has exceeded five times the standard amount of Qi and blood for an adult!

The changes brought about by the increase in Qi and blood were clearly reflected in him.

He has grown to over 1.8 meters tall.

Muscular and muscular with a strong build.

He was a completely different person from the frail scholar he was a week ago.

When the neighbors saw this, they all whispered among themselves, saying that the Jiang family boy seemed like a completely different person.

Jiang Chuan looked down at his arms, which were as thick as his calves.

A feeling of exhilaration washed over me.

He retrieved the panel and began to prepare his prey.

After all the materials were extracted, the entire wild boar had been dissected cleanly.

He packed everything, skin and all, without leaving a trace, and carried it all on his back.

Only some internal organs that couldn't be processed were left behind.

With nearly 300 pounds of weight on his shoulders, he walked through the mountains and forests as if on flat ground, and soon returned to the county town.

Jiang Chuan carried the wild boar directly to the butcher shop.

Wild boar meat is different from domestic pig meat; it's coarser and has a stronger earthy taste, making it difficult to swallow if not prepared properly. Therefore, it's not expensive.

But the sheer quantity makes it irresistible.

This wild boar, weighing over 300 jin (approximately 150 kg) including skin and bones, brought Jiang Chuan three taels of silver directly into his account!

The money was counted on the spot.

Jiang Chuan accepted the money, feeling more at ease.

With the savings he had accumulated over the years, he now had a full eight taels of silver.

Soon I'll be able to save enough for the tuition to go to the martial arts school.

After he completes his cultivation, he will naturally have more ways to make money, and he won't have to run to the mountains every day in all kinds of weather.

Jiang Chuan was in a good mood. On his way back, he bought a roast chicken and half a catty of liquor to celebrate.

But just as he returned to the entrance of his alley...

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Outside the courtyard wall, two shifty-looking men were sneaking around.

One of them stood on tiptoe, peering over the wall into the courtyard.

Another one huddled in the corner, looking around, with a blade of grass dangling from its mouth.

Upon seeing him, the lookout immediately patted his companion, and the two quickly pretended to be nonchalant and walked to the side.

Jiang Chuan frowned slightly. He glanced at the two of them, not wanting to alert them.

He pretended not to see it, calmly walked over, and pushed open the door to enter the courtyard.

"hiss……"

Upon seeing Jiang Chuan's appearance, both of them were slightly taken aback.

Especially the hunting bow on his back.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with apprehension.

After the courtyard gate closed and footsteps entered the house, the two huddled together and began to whisper among themselves.

"Who is this guy? Wasn't it said that the young woman only had a scholarly brother-in-law?"

"Damn it... his thighs are thicker than my waist, he doesn't look like a weak scholar at all!?"

Who cares?

Another one lowered his voice and sneered, "Anyway, there's no woman that Eighth Master has set his sights on that he can't get. Eighth Master has his own methods, we don't need to lift a finger."

"Too."

"Let's go back and report to Eighth Master!"

After saying that, the two of them walked away quickly, one after the other.

The two had just left.

The courtyard gate creaked open a crack.

Jiang Chuan stood behind the door.

His eyes were cold.

He heard every single word they said.

Eighth Master?

He quickly got a clue.

If I'm not mistaken.

This Eighth Master must be the one who caused trouble for Liu Yue'e at the Spring View Pavilion.

His sense of smell was sharp enough that from the second day onwards, he didn't let his sister-in-law go to work anymore.

did not expect.

These guys still came knocking on our door.

Jiang Chuan closed the courtyard gate expressionlessly, pondering a countermeasure.
