Little Medical Immortal's Crisis, Beating Up the Sour and Mean Woman!

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

During this period, Jiang Wangzu had developed a new use for the attribute panel.

That was, aside from the quick-completion methods recorded on the attribute panel, using all kinds of cultivation resources on top of that could also increase his cultivation speed.

One could even say that the improvement of one cultivation technique would also drive the improvement of other techniques, shortening the time needed for those techniques to advance.

Take now, for example: his third-rate external hardening technique, Iron Garment Skill, had reached major accomplishment.

It had improved his tendons, bones, skin, and flesh to varying degrees, and by extension, even his Black Tiger Fist had improved by a large margin.

Originally, for his Black Tiger Fist to break through from minor accomplishment to major accomplishment, he had needed thirty days and thirty portions of the Black Tiger Powder secret medicine.

But as he cultivated the third-rate external hardening technique Iron Garment Skill at the same time, and as Iron Garment Skill continuously improved, the time needed for his Black Tiger Fist to break through had been greatly shortened.

Originally, today was only the twenty-first day since his Black Tiger Fist had reached minor accomplishment. After taking today's Black Tiger Powder secret medicine, he had only taken twenty-one portions of strength-training secret medicine.

But the attribute panel showed that if he took Black Tiger Powder one more time, then performed Black Tiger Fist ten times, he could break through to major accomplishment in strength training!

Today truly was double happiness knocking at the door!

Not only had Iron Garment Skill been cultivated to the realm of major accomplishment, even Black Tiger Fist was about to break through to the realm of major accomplishment!

Now that both of his third-rate techniques had been cultivated to major accomplishment, his overall strength was enough to rival a martial artist who had just entered the Skin Refining Realm!

Although the Skin Refining Realm was only the third realm of martial cultivation.

But how many people were there who, like Chen Tai, were trapped in the second realm of martial cultivation, unable to advance even an inch, carrying regret for life!

As the saying went, when a man met with happy events, his spirit felt refreshed!

After Jiang Wangzu finished his medicinal bath and left Chen Liujia's residence, he made another trip to Liu's Shop in the south of the city to buy the osmanthus cakes Little Medical Immortal Yan Ruyu loved most.

This Little Medical Immortal was a treasure. A fifth-realm medical cultivator—though she did not possess the high martial power of a martial artist, when it came to curing illness, saving lives, and refining secret medicines, Jiang Wangzu could not catch up even if he whipped his horse.

The reason his Black Tiger Fist cultivation speed was so fast was inseparable from the Black Tiger Powder secret medicine refined by Little Medical Immortal!

"Well, well!"

"Isn't this my Fifth Sister's kept pretty-boy lover?"

"No wonder he's enchanted my Fifth Sister until her soul's been turned upside down, making her rush to throw money at him."

"What a shameless little slut. My Yan Family's face is going to be completely thrown away by her!"

Jiang Wangzu pushed open the rear courtyard gate of Benevolent World Hall with practiced ease.

Only to see a young woman dressed up like flowering branches trembling in the wind, wearing thick makeup and garish rouge, sitting on a chair with one leg crossed over the other.

As she ate grapes, she sized Jiang Wangzu up and down.

Jiang Wangzu was wearing a brand-new black training outfit, with his bangs parted two-eight.

He was tall, his whole body radiating masculine vigor, and paired with his incomparably handsome face, he was simply irresistible to men, women, old, and young alike.

The woman before him actually fell into a brief daze the instant she saw Jiang Wangzu.

But very quickly, her eyes filled with thick resentment and jealousy, and her words became increasingly acerbic and mean.

When Jiang Wangzu heard her words, his expression could not help darkening. He walked over to her at an unhurried pace.

Smack!

Without another word, Jiang Wangzu slapped her across the face.

The slap was heavy and forceful, directly knocking out half her teeth and leaving half her face a bloody mess of torn flesh.

But he had already held back.

Otherwise, he would not even have needed to use his full strength. Even using thirty percent of his power would have been enough to smash this acerbic, mean woman's head apart alive!

"Ah!"

The acerbic, mean woman was struck stupid by Jiang Wangzu.

She had imagined countless outcomes after saying those words.

But the one thing she had never imagined was that Jiang Wangzu would directly attack her.

The enormous pain made her unable to stop herself from howling.

The more she howled, the more it pulled at the muscles of her face, and the more it hurt.

She rolled off the chair and writhed on the ground.

The apprentices and stewards in the rear courtyard of Benevolent World Hall were all stunned.

"Brother Jiang, you... you've caused trouble!"

Steward Sun of the rear courtyard pharmacy looked at Jiang Wangzu in shock, then spoke in a trembling voice.

"Quick, quick, quick! Help Miss Rulan up."

"Where's the medicine? Bring the finest wound salve!"

"Which physician is on duty in the front hall? Hurry and have him come take a look!"

"..."

With that slap from Jiang Wangzu, the back courtyard instantly descended into chaos.

"Where the hell did this guy come from?"

"Why does his mouth stink like he's eaten shit?"

Jiang Wangzu spoke in an indifferent tone.

"My dear Master Jiang!"

"Her name is Yan Rulan. She's the Third Master's daughter."

"The young miss was found out because she refined your strength-training secret medicine for you."

"The Second Master and Third Master joined hands to pressure the young miss, saying she'd harmed the family's interests."

"Today, the young miss has already been called in by the old master for questioning."

"Miss Rulan learned of your existence and was specially ordered by the family to come here and block you."

"And then you... sigh!"

Only after Steward Sun saw Yan Rulan being carried away did he lower his voice and briefly explain a few things to Jiang Wangzu.

Jiang Wangzu had spent more than half a month in this back courtyard practicing martial arts and drinking medicine, and after coming and going, Steward Sun had become somewhat familiar with him.

He knew Yan Ruyu had a good impression of Jiang Wangzu.

He also knew that the strength-training secret medicine Yan Ruyu refined for Jiang Wangzu had been sold at cost price in the early stages, and even later, she only made very little money from it.

But he also knew that this strength-training secret medicine was expensive, and any martial artist who could take it for more than half a month straight was definitely no ordinary person.

He was actually rather optimistic about Jiang Wangzu and Yan Ruyu as a pair.

Unfortunately, the Yan Family's internal struggle was extremely fierce. If not for the old master suppressing them, these brothers and sisters would have long since beaten human brains into pig brains.

The elders attacked one another, and the third-generation juniors also found one another displeasing to the eye.

And among the Yan Family's third generation, Yan Ruyu—who had inherited the old master's true teachings, mastered both Chinese and Western learning, and stepped onto the path of medical cultivation—stood head and shoulders above the rest.

The more this was the case, the more wary they became.

At present, in Benevolent World Hall, although the second and third generations all held shares, the old master still had a large stake in his hands.

Everyone worried that the old master would give the shares in his hands to Yan Ruyu, making her the female head of Benevolent World Hall.

So all these people were watching Yan Ruyu eagerly, waiting for her to make a mistake.

Even the eldest branch of the Yan Family—Yan Ruyu's elder brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters—were thinking of ways to drive a wedge between Yan Ruyu and the old master.

That was why they seized on the matter of Yan Ruyu refining strength-training secret medicine for Jiang Wangzu and used it to make trouble for her!

The third branch of the Yan Family had even specially sent Yan Rulan here to block Jiang Wangzu.

Although Steward Sun did not say what came next, Jiang Wangzu also knew that she had definitely come to belittle him, suppress him, and flaunt her might.

But Jiang Wangzu was not about to indulge her rotten habits!

"I'll kill you!"

"I will definitely kill you!"

"He actually dared to hit me!"

"I will definitely kill him!"

"From childhood until now, I've never been hit."

"My father, mother, grandfather, and grandmother have never hit me. What right does a mud-legged peasant like him have to hit me?"

"..."

Yan Rulan applied medicine while crying to heaven and clawing at the earth, kicking up a noisy fuss.

When Jiang Wangzu heard it, he could not help feeling vexed and irritable, killing intent bursting from his eyes.

"A-Zu!"

Just as Jiang Wangzu was about to go find Yan Rulan and argue things out, the Little Medical Immortal's voice rang out behind him.
