"All right."

"I still have enough money on me to buy one set of the Black Tiger Powder secret medicine."

"Doctor Yan, please take this one-hundred-ocean banknote. I'll have to trouble you to prepare another set of Black Tiger Powder secret medicine for me tomorrow."

"As for the rest of the money, I'll think of something!"

Hearing this, Jiang Wangzu nodded, then handed Yan Ruyu the only one-hundred-ocean banknote he had on him.

He knew that one hundred oceans had to be an extremely low price Yan Ruyu had offered him.

He very much wanted to play the big spender and give Yan Ruyu one hundred and twenty, or even one hundred and fifty oceans, for one set of Black Tiger Powder secret medicine.

But a man with money was a true man; without money, even a man had it hard.

Right now, he was just a two-bit punk. Where would he get the money to play the big spender?

"The money I earn at Benevolent World Hall basically all goes toward buying medical classics and medical instruments and the like."

Yan Ruyu spoke a little embarrassedly.

Benevolent World Hall absolutely would not allow Jiang Wangzu to buy on credit.

Personally, she really did want to lend Jiang Wangzu a sum of money, but she was honestly short of cash herself.

Besides, if she had spare money, she would have set up a porridge shed to aid the refugees.

She truly had no interest in money, but now, all of a sudden, she felt money really was so important!

"It's still early today. Let's not go home yet."

"I'll take you to find someone."

"If you can satisfy his needs, maybe he can give you a large sum of money."

Yan Ruyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration and led Jiang Wangzu straight off in another direction.

"Wait a minute."

"I sell my art, not my body!"

"Why don't we forget it!"

"As for the money, I'll think of something myself!"

Jiang Wangzu glanced at Yan Ruyu, his scalp tingling a little.

"Giggle, giggle."

"What are you thinking?"

"Do you still remember that when I first met you, I wanted to introduce you to an elder sister of mine?"

"But after I told her about you, she wouldn't agree to meet you at all."

"So this time, I'm taking you to meet her master."

"If you can enter the old gentleman's discerning eye, and he's willing to take you as his disciple, then you won't have to worry about cultivation resources."

"If he feels you and his disciple are rather suitable, and he acts as the go-between for you, that elder sister of mine will have to meet you no matter what."

"If she meets you, maybe the two of you will take one look and hit it off. You can still receive her support and obtain sufficient cultivation resources."

"And right now, you're only a Strength Training martial artist. The Strength Training secret medicine you need can be prepared even by an ordinary medicine shop like our Benevolent World Hall."

"But if you want to break through to a more profound martial realm, then you'll need stronger secret medicines."

"These secret medicines are all controlled by many martial forces. Without connections, there's simply no way to get hold of them."

"And the old gentleman I'm introducing you to today has channels to obtain these secret medicines. He himself is even one of those channels."

"So whether he takes a fancy to your aptitude and accepts you as his disciple, or takes a fancy to you as a person and wants to take you as his disciple-son-in-law, you won't lose out."

"Even if he neither takes you as his disciple nor wants to recruit you as his disciple-son-in-law, just establishing a connection with him won't be a loss if you can obtain higher-level secret medicines through him in the future."

Yan Ruyu spoke with an air of unfathomable mystery.

Jiang Wangzu finally understood.

Yan Ruyu was taking him to meet a big shot today, and this big shot seemed extraordinary, likely a martial expert.

Yan Ruyu led him left and right along the broad streets of the Upper District, arriving at the border between the Upper District and the Lower District.

It was an antique, five-courtyard mansion.

Although land prices in this area were not exactly expensive, anyone who owned such a residence at the end of a bustling street in the Upper District was absolutely no ordinary person.

Bang, bang, bang!

Yan Ruyu knocked on the door with practiced ease.

Very soon, the heavy, pitch-black wooden door opened, and when an elderly gatekeeper saw Yan Ruyu, he immediately piled on a smile.

"Miss Yan, how do you have time to bring a friend over today?"

"This is my friend, Jiang Wangzu. He's also a martial artist who has stepped onto the path."

"Tell Old Man Chen that I've found the person he wanted."

Yan Ruyu spoke.

"Miss Yan, Young Master Jiang, please wait a moment!"

The old gatekeeper closed the front gate again and went to report. He soon returned, leading Yan Ruyu and Jiang Wangzu to a quiet little courtyard.

Jiang Wangzu saw an old man with gray-white hair and beard lying on a grand tutor's chair in the pavilion, drinking hot tea.

Beside him was a woman who looked about thirty, dressed in black training clothes, her hair coiled up with a jade hairpin. She was mature, beautiful, and carried a heroic air as she poured tea for him.

Rows upon rows of lights in the little courtyard illuminated the entire place brightly.

When Yan Ruyu saw the woman beside the old man, her expression could not help but stiffen.

There was no need to say it.

This had to be the person she wanted to matchmake with Jiang Wangzu.

"If it's like this, then it's not exactly unacceptable!"

Jiang Wangzu sized up the mature, beautiful woman beside the old man and could not help muttering inwardly.

"Little Yan is here!"

"This is the kid you were talking about?"

When the gray-haired old man saw Yan Ruyu walking over with Jiang Wangzu, he could not help sitting up. His bright eyes sized Jiang Wangzu up with considerable interest.

As for the beautiful woman beside him, she shot Yan Ruyu a fierce glare.

Yan Ruyu very cutely stuck out her tongue in response.

Whoosh!

Jiang Wangzu felt as if a gust of wind had swept past in front of him. At some unknown moment, the old man had appeared before him, then reached out with a large, wrinkled hand that seemed forged of steel and iron, feeling Jiang Wangzu up for quite a while.

"It's over!"

"I'm no longer clean!"

Jiang Wangzu howled inwardly.

But he did not dare make the slightest move.

Because the old man's strength was simply terrifying beyond compare, making him afraid to move at all.

"Average bone structure."

"His yang vigor is abundant, but he does not possess the Pure Yang Body. It is merely that his two kidneys are naturally different from ordinary people's, his capital is plentiful, and he seems to have trained the Iron Crotch Technique to some degree of accomplishment."

The old man's voice drifted vaguely. At some unknown moment, he had already returned to the grand tutor's chair.

After hearing the old man's evaluation of him, Jiang Wangzu could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

It was not because he was disappointed that he could not share a spring breeze with this mature, beautiful woman, but because the old man had actually said his bone structure was average.

He had already freaking transmigrated, yet he still had to start with the good-for-nothing flow.

It was truly infuriating!

"But... perhaps it's feasible!"

The old man glanced at the woman beside him, then spoke.

"I'll handle my own affairs myself. No need for you to worry about it."

The mature, beautiful woman did not buy it.

"No need to rush to refuse. You can try getting in touch first."

The old man spoke again.

This time, the mature, beautiful woman only fell silent, but she did not refuse.

"From now on, come to my place every three days in the afternoon and serve as my disciple's sparring partner."

"If you perform well, I can give you some guidance in your martial cultivation."

"In the future, if the two of you truly manage to make something good happen, I can pass a cultivation method to you, enough for you to benefit from it for the rest of your life."

The old man looked at Jiang Wangzu and spoke in a flat tone.

Jiang Wangzu: "???"

I haven't even agreed yet, and you're deciding for me?

And I have a cheat. Do I need your guidance?
