Boom!
Jiang Wangzu assumed a boxing stance and began performing Black Tiger Fist.
His movements were agile, like a tiger leaping through the mountain forest or a fierce tiger descending the mountain. His momentum was unstoppable!
“Roar!”
Jiang Wangzu let out an angry roar, like the thunderous sound of Tiger-Leopard Thunder Resonance and the roar of a fierce tiger, terrifying the beasts.
At that moment, he was a humanoid black tiger, his domineering presence fully exposed.
“That roar certainly had plenty of Martial Momentum!”
“And the boxing technique he’s performing is extremely precise. Every repetition is more precise than the last, and he improves each time.”
“That’s far too terrifying!”
Although Little Medical Immortal Yan Ruyu was not a Martial Artist, she had studied Martial Dao Cultivation as well.
Furthermore, she was a Medical Cultivator. She understood the human body’s structure, the circulation and changes of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, Qi-Blood circulation, and related matters—perhaps better than Martial Artists themselves.
She could tell that Jiang Wangzu’s Martial Dao Foundation was unsound. His Stance Training was a complete mess, and his boxing technique was mediocre, reaching the entry Level at most.
Yet he improved with every repetition, as if he could only advance and never regress.
Moreover, his fists carried tremendous force. Judging by the sound they made cutting through the air, he was probably even stronger than a Martial Artist at Minor Achievement in Strength Training.
Yet he was clearly nothing more than an opportunist.
He wanted to practice stance training and strength training at the same time.
This was not impossible, but no master from any martial dao sect would allow a disciple to train this way.
Usually, this satisfies neither goal: one accomplishes nothing and may even ruin one’s body through training.
But if Jiang Wangzu could guarantee that every repetition made him stronger, perhaps he really could succeed!
Moreover, his physical foundation was excellent. His Blood Qi was abundant, his Yang Energy vigorous, and his ability to absorb medicinal effects astonishing.
Perhaps this was the Pure Yang Constitution recorded in ancient texts as a one-in-ten-thousand rarity!
“Practice a fist technique a hundred times, and its meaning will reveal itself!”
After Jiang Wangzu practiced Black Tiger Fist one hundred times, his entire body looked as though he had just emerged from water.
Clouds of white steam rose from the top of his head.
He panted heavily, but delight filled his eyes.
This Black Tiger Powder Secret Medicine was truly overbearing. A single dose equaled a hundred days of painstaking cultivation!
Within ten days, he would definitely grind Black Tiger Fist to Minor Accomplishment!
“Physician yan, thank you!”
Jiang Wangzu clasped his fists, bowed to Yan Ruyu, and thanked her with great sincerity.
“Tsk!”
“That’s it? A verbal thank-you?”
“There isn’t the slightest bit of sincerity.”
Yan Ruyu gave him a faint, teasing smile.
“Then how does physician yan want me to thank you?”
“If it’s something I can do, I’ll satisfy you.”
Jiang Wangzu was in high spirits and spoke with great boldness.
“I didn’t even eat dinner because I had to prepare and boil your medicine.”
“I’m craving osmanthus cake from Liu Ji in the southern part of the city. If you want to thank me, bring me two pieces tomorrow.”
“Let me examine your body and see how well you absorbed the medicinal effects!”
Yan Ruyu walked up to Jiang Wangzu, raised his arm, and felt his pulse to examine him.
She then took out several silver needles and inserted them into several major acupoints on Jiang Wangzu’s body.
This examination shocked even Yan Ruyu.
Jiang Wangzu had absorbed all the medicinal effects, without even a trace of medicinal power remaining?
What kind of constitution was this?
Could this be the innate medicine-consuming sacred constitution?
But one should not think of this as a derogatory term.
Martial Dao and Secret Medicine were inseparable. Every figure who reached the Martial Dao Pinnacle relied on Secret Medicine for support.
Secret Medicine could replenish the body’s deficiencies, strengthen the physique, and make it more powerful.
If one trained in Martial Dao without Secret Medicine to replenish the energy the body consumed, one would eventually train oneself to death.
However, a person’s ability and speed in absorbing secret medicine had limits.
Therefore, even with abundant Martial Dao Cultivation Resources and an unlimited supply of Secret Medicine, a Martial Artist would not dare consume Secret Medicine every day.
Medicine is toxic by thirty percent, and secret medicine was even deadly poison!
Yet Jiang Wangzu’s body was extraordinary. He absorbed the overbearing Secret Medicine known as Black Tiger Powder in less than an hour.
He truly could take one dose of Black Tiger Powder Secret Medicine every day.
If so, his Martial Arts Realm would advance by leaps and bounds.
Ten days of his drug-assisted cultivation might equal several years of others’ painstaking cultivation.
With sufficient wealth, one dose of Black Tiger Powder Secret Medicine each day might let him reach Great Achievement in Strength Training, or even Perfected Strength Training, in a short time!
Yan Ruyu seemed to see a new Martial Dao star rising!
“How is it?”
Although Jiang Wangzu had great confidence in his body, he still asked.
He lowered his head and happened to meet Yan Ruyu’s eyes. She was less than half a step away.
The two of them felt as though lightning had struck them.
Yan Ruyu took a step back, her face flushed slightly, and said softly:
“Your body is unusual, and it absorbs Secret Medicine extremely well. You can withstand one dose a day without trouble. Remember my Osmanthus Cake tomorrow!”
“It’s getting late. I... I should go home first!”
“I’ll escort you home. It isn’t safe after dark!”
Jiang Wangzu spoke up.
Although he admitted that he wanted to court her, what he said was not false.
Shen City was unsafe now.
At night, Shen City was practically a paradise of crime.
Although the Lower City District showed this more clearly, the Upper City District was not necessarily safe either.
“Mm-hmm.”
Yan Ruyu did not refuse Jiang Wangzu’s suggestion.
Although she felt that her true strength might not be weaker than Jiang Wangzu’s.
Moreover, she was a medical cultivator. A physician could save people, but could also kill them.
Moreover, medicine and poison were inseparable; killing her would be no easy task.
But who could refuse the goodwill of a succubus whose beauty surpassed even that of Yan Zu?
“Jiang Wangzu has the Pure Yang Constitution, which is perfect for treating Older Sister Han’s Three-Yin Severed Meridians.”
“I should have brought the two of them together.”
“But why am I suddenly reluctant?”
Yan Ruyu thought to herself.
Jishi Hall had dedicated workers assigned to watch the shop while on duty.
After leaving the Rear Courtyard of Jishi Hall, Jiang Wangzu and Yan Ruyu headed straight for the Upper City District.
As the owner of Jishi Hall, with three generations of Renowned Physicians presiding over it, the Yan Family had accumulated considerable wealth.
Thus, Yan Ruyu lived in the Yan Residence in the Upper City District.
Although the Yan Residence was not large, it covered about three hundred square meters.
The main building was a three-story Chinese-style structure with blue-brick walls.
Two imposing stone lions stood at the entrance.
“I... I’m home.”
Yan Ruyu glanced at Jiang Wangzu and spoke.
“I should head back too.”
Jiang Wangzu did not expect Yan Ruyu to invite him inside for tea or anything similar.
Her family practiced Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although they were not an aristocratic clan, they were still a respectable and prominent household.
And he was only a low-level Ruffian from the Cao Gang!
He, Jiang Wangzu, possessed nothing but clean sleeves; how could he dare delay such a beautiful woman?
“That’s all nonsense!”
“I, Jiang Wangzu, am a transmigrator with a cheat at my disposal. Why should I worry about failing to become rich and powerful?”
“I’m going to win Yan Ruyu over!”
Jiang Wangzu cast aside the ridiculous, self-abasing thoughts in his mind. He flashed Yan Ruyu a radiant smile and said with ease:
“See you tomorrow.”
“See you tomorrow!”
Seeing Jiang Wangzu turn away with steady, powerful steps and a confident smile, Yan Ruyu smiled faintly and thought, “He really is different from everyone else!”
