Following Chen Tai, three days, nine meals!

[Used body-refining paste. Iron Garment Skill proficiency increased!]

A line of golden-red text appeared before Jiang Wangzu's eyes.

"Keep training."

"Exercise, together with my strikes, can effectively help you absorb the Black Iron Paste!"

And so Jiang Wangzu kept Han Qiao company as she trained for more than two hours, until he felt a wave of coolness sweep over his body.

That burning, stinging sensation faded away, and the feeling of constantly growing stronger was cut off as well.

It left him feeling somewhat empty.

And just then, the medicinal bath Chen Liujia had specially prepared for Jiang Wangzu was ready too.

Chen Liujia called Jiang Wangzu over for the medicinal bath.

Then he and Han Qiao began talking outside the room.

"A-Qiao, how does your body feel?"

Chen Liujia asked aloud.

"After close contact, I feel the Extreme Yin Cold Baleful Intent inside me has been suppressed even more fiercely."

"Perhaps without dual cultivation, I can also borrow the yang energy from A-Zu's body to completely suppress the Extreme Yin Cold Baleful Intent inside me."

"When I step into the Xiantian realm, reversing acquired nature back into innate nature, I'll naturally be able to reshape my roots, bones, tendons, and meridians, and thoroughly cure my Three Yin Severed Pulse."

"That way, it would fulfill me, and also fulfill A-Zu and Ru Yu."

Han Qiao spoke.

"Difficult."

"And it would take far too long."

"That kid can afford to wait, but you can't."

"You should still think it over again."

"I can tell that kid has thoughts about you."

"Men, well, which one doesn't lust after beauty?"

"Right, that kid used the Black Iron Paste just now. How was the effect? How much of the medicinal power did he absorb?"

Chen Liujia asked with some curiosity.

"He used more than half a jar of Black Iron Paste, smearing it all over his body so tightly that he didn't even spare his face."

"But I felt he wasn't in that much pain. On the contrary, he even looked like he was enjoying it."

"As for the effect, it was very obvious. His physical body strengthened markedly. He used it for more than two hours, and he probably absorbed almost all of the medicinal power."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd find it hard to believe there could actually be a constitution like his in this world."

Han Qiao also said with a solemn expression.

"In this vast world, there is no wonder that does not exist."

"There's nothing so strange about it."

"But that also means that as long as he has enough resources, that kid's future achievements will be limitless."

"Even this old man is a little moved to take him as a disciple."

Chen Liujia revealed a meaningful smile.

"But his roots and bones are far too poor."

"That means if he wants to break through realms, he'll need three to five times, or even more than ten times, the resources of a martial Dao genius with excellent roots and bones."

"Is that little stockpile in your hands enough for him to squander?"

Han Qiao glanced at Chen Liujia and spoke.

"A body like a bottomless pit!"

"Hard to handle!"

"Let's keep watching for now!"

"If resources could be exchanged for time, I think no one would be unwilling."

"Pity."

"I still have too few secret medicines on hand."

"Sigh!"

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

Inside that room, Jiang Wangzu was circulating the Iron Garment Skill, absorbing the medicinal power.

He felt his physical strength continuously increasing.

[Used medicinal bath. Iron Garment Skill proficiency increased!]

Golden-red text appeared before his eyes once again.

From this, it was clear that after Old Master Chen learned he could still be considered a talent worth shaping, the old man had begun pouring real capital into him.

At this rate, Jiang Wangzu felt that his external cultivation method, Iron Garment Skill, would break through to the realm of Great Accomplishment even before his main cultivation method, Black Tiger Fist!

This was simply wonderful!

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

Every three days, he went to Chen Liujia's place to accompany Han Qiao in martial training.

Han Qiao was no longer as cold toward him as before; instead, she grew more and more enthusiastic.

First, because he had displayed his talent and value.

Second, because of his Succubus talent. The longer a woman spent with him, the more deeply she would fall for him.

Every three days, he used one portion of Black Iron Paste and one medicinal bath.

His Iron Garment Skill proficiency advanced by leaps and bounds.

Aside from going to Chen Liujia's place, every evening he had to go to Benevolent World Hall to find Little Medical Immortal, drink a bowl of Black Tiger Mountain secret medicine, and then accompany Little Medical Immortal home.

He did not go looking for Ru Meng, because after Han Qiao learned that his purse was shy, she directly gave him a banknote for three thousand silver dollars, enough for him to cultivate Black Tiger Fist to Great Accomplishment.

Before his Black Tiger Fist reached Great Accomplishment, he did not need to worry about money.

During this time, he occasionally went to his sister-in-law's place to release his nowhere-to-put energy.

He admitted that his sister-in-law was already the ceiling among Shen City's young married women.

But Chen Tai went out fooling around every day and basically never came home, so Jiang Wangzu reaped all the benefits.

In the side room of the small courtyard by Rongsheng Street.

Jiang Wangzu held his sister-in-law Xu Zhenzhen, whose face was flushed crimson and who lay like a puddle of boneless mud, and entered sage time.

"Sister-in-law."

"My strength is already no weaker than Chen Tai's now, but I'm still just a bottom-level thug in the Canal Gang."

"How do you think I should raise my status in the gang?"

Jiang Wangzu spoke.

From their interactions during this time, he had discovered that his sister-in-law Xu Zhenzhen was not some silly sweet girl. She was very clear on all matters, big and small, inside the Canal Gang.

She herself said this was information she had obtained while drinking afternoon tea and playing cards with the wives of the Canal Gang's middle and upper ranks.

But Jiang Wangzu felt that was not the case.

However, since his sister-in-law was unwilling to say, he would not ask any further.

"You, ah, you've just hidden yourself too deeply!"

"According to the normal logic of promotion, you should be rolling and crawling around at the bottom, entering your boss's eyes, and then being promoted by your boss to become a core member of the Canal Gang."

"Then you would enter the upper ranks' field of vision, be promoted by them, become a middle-level small leader, and have your own business or territory."

"When your territory kept expanding, the number of people under you grew larger and larger, and the regular payments you handed over to the Canal Gang became more and more."

"Then the upper ranks would naturally notice you and give you a higher status, greater real power, and even let you enter the Canal Gang's Council of Elders and become an elder."

"Even in the future, you could be promoted to one of the seven standing elders and help the gang leader make decisions on certain matters."

"But because you've hidden yourself too deeply, Chen Tai has no idea what you're capable of at all."

"So Chen Tai can't recommend you to become a core member of the Canal Gang."

"Besides, with someone as petty-minded as Chen Tai, he wouldn't recommend you either."

"That 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 hasn't even recommended his own younger cousin."

"Every year, he sells the recommendation slots in his hands to other people, gets a large sum of silver dollars, and uses it to eat, drink, whore, and gamble."

Xu Zhenzhen knew the affairs of the Canal Gang, as well as Chen Tai's affairs, like counting the treasures in her own family.

Hearing this, Jiang Wangzu felt that following Chen Tai really was like going hungry nine meals out of three days!
