"I had the secret recipe for Black Tiger Powder, but where was I supposed to get the medicine filled?"

"A secret Strength Training medicine like this definitely wasn't something an ordinary apothecary would have."

"And this recipe was given by the Attribute Panel, so it should be extremely precious."

"An ordinary man was innocent; it was the jade he carried that made him guilty."

"I was just a low-level Canal Gang thug. If people with ulterior motives found out I had a recipe like this, I'm afraid it would bring a fatal disaster down on me."

"So I needed a doctor with professional ethics, one who also understood how to brew secret medicines, to help me."

"Tomorrow, I'll ask around and see where there's a suitable candidate."

Jiang Wangzu thought this over in his heart, then drew water and washed himself, cleaning away the dust and grime on his body before enjoying a good sleep.

Over the next few days.

Jiang Wangzu patrolled Dragon River Pier while asking around everywhere about Shen City's major apothecaries.

Although Shen City had no shortage of apothecaries, most of them only sold ordinary medicinal ingredients.

The ingredients needed to brew secret medicines were extremely precious, and the proportions could not be handled carelessly in the slightest.

And although Jiang Wangzu had the secret medicine formula in hand, he had no medical experience. Even if an apothecary filled the prescription for him, he would not be able to control the brewing properly on his own.

So he had to choose carefully. It would be best to find an apothecary that could both fill the prescription and brew the medicine for him.

Besides that, he occasionally followed Chen Tai's orders and accompanied Xu Zhenzhen out shopping.

His Iron Crotch Technique improved extremely quickly, and it was soon grinded all the way to Great Perfection.

[Iron Crotch Technique perfected. Talent acquired: Golden Dual Kidneys!]

Jiang Wangzu felt his two kidneys become indestructible, a powerful force bursting out from them and flowing through his four limbs and hundred bones.

His whole body crackled and popped, and his strength surged wildly as if advancing by leaps and bounds.

He did not know whether this change had been brought about by cultivating the external-training martial art Iron Crotch Technique to Great Perfection, or by his new talent, Golden Dual Kidneys.

In his previous life, he had heard of someone born with four kidneys, who could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, had boundless energy and immense strength, and despite never practicing weightlifting, could easily lift a three-hundred-jin heavy object.

His Golden Dual Kidneys should not be any worse than that guy born with four kidneys, right?

He felt that his punch now was probably around five hundred jin.

Compared with professional boxers from his previous life, he would not be much inferior!

Most importantly, he had far more stamina than those professional boxers.

And he also knew Black Tiger Fist.

This could make his actual combat ability even stronger!

This Iron Crotch Technique had truly brought him an unexpected joy.

Not only had it granted him the talent Golden Dual Kidneys, it had also greatly increased his strength.

Feeling the surging power inside his body, Jiang Wangzu could not help but smile in satisfaction.

The current him was finally no longer a weak chicken waiting to be slaughtered by others!

"A-Zu, why is your body crackling and popping? Don't tell me something went wrong with your martial arts practice?"

"I already told you that you couldn't just practice blindly on your own. Without a master's guidance, even if you had a martial arts manual, it would be easy to train yourself crooked."

Xu Zhenzhen, who had been sleeping soundly, saw the changes in Jiang Wangzu's body and could not help saying this with some worry.

"Don't worry."

"I'm very good right now. Better than ever!"

"If you don't believe me, come try it!"

Jiang Wangzu looked at Xu Zhenzhen and said.

An hour later.

Xu Zhenzhen lay on the bed, panting, and said with a bit of anger and coquettishness:

"Jiang Wangzu, you really are a bastard!"

"Did you break through again?"

"Heh heh heh!"

"Guess?"

Jiang Wangzu grinned, chatted with Xu Zhenzhen for a while longer, then left her residence before daybreak.

The reason he was so completely unrestrained was mainly because Chen Tai had been busy fighting Xinglong Street for territory lately and had not returned home for several days.

And by now, he had long since spilled all his energy on those seductive cheap women in the dance halls outside.

Jiang Wangzu could only cultivate frantically as well, until he cultivated Iron Crotch Technique to Great Perfection!

What quick method could ever feel as satisfying as an evil cultivation method?

Jiang Wangzu left his sister-in-law's place and first made a trip to Hongyun Mahjong Hall.

He saw that Chen Tai had gone out fooling around and had not yet returned, so he decisively went home and wolfed down five jin of cooked beef in one breath.

Then he went to patrol Dragon River Pier.

Now, among the ruffians under Chen Tai of Rongsheng Street who came to patrol Dragon River Pier, he was the only one left.

Because recently, Rongsheng Street and Xinglong Street had been fighting fiercely, and Chen Tai's men had suffered heavy losses.

So he had kept Big Ox and Second Tiger at his side.

He also knew Jiang Wangzu was a weakling, and keeping him around would not be much help.

So he still arranged for him to patrol Dragon River Pier.

In fact, it was not only their Canal Gang that sent men to patrol here.

Even the people from the Patrol Office often came here to patrol.

Dragon River Pier.

The porters had gathered early and begun moving goods.

Jiang Wangzu was bragging and shooting the breeze with a few low-level ruffians from the Canal Gang when a surge of piss welled up in him.

Jiang Wangzu decided to go take care of it.

He came to the edge of the Dragon River and had himself a good release, instantly feeling comfortable all over.

Gulp!

Gulp!

Gulp!

Jiang Wangzu had just fastened his waistband when he suddenly discovered that the river water along the Dragon River was churning violently, surge after surge of deep river water gushing up from below.

He saw an unrecognizable corpse surge up from the riverbed.

At the same time, he felt a chill sweep over him.

He immediately retreated several steps and stared fixedly at the river.

He saw a human-shaped black shadow beneath the body flash by and vanish.

This was not his eyes playing tricks on him. He had seen it clearly!

That thing was huge, probably two or three meters tall, and it seemed not to be human!

And the feeling that fellow gave him was truly too terrifying.

Although it had appeared for only an instant, it made his whole body go rigid, as if all the blood in him had frozen.

This was truly a vicious thing!

After half a month, Dragon River Pier had another death!

Only, Jiang Wangzu did not take the initiative to expose the matter. Instead, he quietly walked away.

Because this place was so close to the pier, many people came here to relieve themselves.

Even if he said nothing, someone would eventually discover the corpse floating in the river.

"Another person's dead! Come look, quick!"

Sure enough, before long, someone discovered the corpse.

"Move, move! Everyone move!"

The people from the Police Station and the Canal Gang all gathered and began clearing the area.

Jiang Wangzu saw that the corpse had been fished up. Its whole body was deathly pale, without the slightest trace of blood.

Its brain matter and all its internal organs had been eaten clean.

Its neck had also been bitten open in a huge gash.

From the look of it, its neck should have first been bitten through in one mouthful, its blood sucked dry.

Then sharp claws had pried open its skull and cut open its belly, sucking away the brain matter and eating all the internal organs!

This was truly too savage!

"Same old rules. Verify the identity first, then put the corpse in a burlap sack. While the sun is still high, drag it over to the Corpse Burner and burn it as quickly as possible. If we're late, changes will arise!"

A squad leader from the Police Station held a spotless white handkerchief over his mouth and nose, glanced at the unrecognizable corpse, and immediately spoke.
