“His utmost yang energy can indeed suppress the extreme yin cold fiend inside my body!”
“If I had to choose between death and giving myself to him, it doesn’t seem difficult to choose.”
A faint smile bloomed on Han Qiao’s cold, beautiful face, like a plum blossom opening in the depths of winter.
However, she still did not know Jiang Wangzu’s feelings and had not made up her mind.
I’d better wait a little longer!
“Looks like Sister A-Qiao is fairly satisfied.”
“My job is safe.”
“And my life is safe too.”
Jiang Wangzu noticed the subtle change in Han Qiao’s expression, and his heart settled.
The job wasn’t important; staying alive was what mattered most!
“Good, good, good!”
“Come here every three days from now on and spar with A-Qiao.”
“However, your current strength is still too low.”
“And you can’t take a beating.”
“Look at today’s fight. A-Qiao never fought back from beginning to end. It was too boring.”
“Still, your performance today wasn’t bad. I can see traces of body tempering on you.”
“I have a Third-Rate Iron Garment Technique here, evolved from the top-tier Third-Rate Body-Tempering Technique, Dragon Roar Iron Shirt.”
“Although it is inferior to Dragon roar iron shirt, it has its own subtleties.”
“Once cultivated to Perfection, it will be like wearing an iron garment, making you Impervious to blades and bullets.”
“Even a Martial Cultivator with Perfected Skin Tempering and Copper Skin and Iron Bones would be no match for it.”
“Would you be interested in learning it?”
At some point, Chen Liu Jia had come to stand beneath the Martial Training Platform. He looked up at Jiang Wangzu and nodded with satisfaction.
The utmost yang energy within him could indeed suppress the extreme yin cold fiend inside Han Qiao.
No, it was more than suppression—it was resolution and dissolution!
Unfortunately, they were too far apart while sparring. He had to find a way to bring them into close contact.
That was why he had thought of the Iron Garment Technique.
This Body-Tempering Technique required a special Medicinal Bath and Beating by an expert.
He had no shortage of Medicinal Baths.
As for the expert’s beating, Han Qiao would have to do it!
“Thank you, Old Master Chen. I’m willing to learn!”
Jiang Wangzu was overjoyed when he heard this.
Although there were three hundred and sixty trades, and every trade could lead to the heavens,
there were only a few true paths to reaching the heavens.
The martial dao was one of them.
However, every Martial Dao school and sect guarded its techniques jealously and never passed them on to outsiders.
Even those who wished to become disciples and learn an art had to follow the rules: three years of menial labor, five years of Stance Training, and ten years of Martial Arts Training.
They had to pay astronomical tuition fees, and completing their training could take more than twenty years.
As for those commonplace, inferior techniques,
either they were too incomplete to cultivate,
or they were easy to learn but difficult to master, leaving the path ahead completely blocked,
or they were so difficult that no one could even begin cultivating them.
He had served as a Sparring Partner only once, yet this Old Master had given him a Third-Rate Body-Tempering Technique—the Iron Garment Technique. The gift exceeded his expectations.
One must not underestimate this so-called third-rate technique. The Black Tiger Fist he cultivated was also a third-rate technique.
Yet Chen Tai treasured it like a precious heirloom and would not even let his own wife, Xu Zhenzhen, touch it.
This showed how precious a Third-Rate Body-Tempering Technique was!
It was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!
If Jiang Wangzu made a name for himself with it, he could open an Iron Garment Martial Arts School and accept disciples. He would never lack food or drink, and people would respect him greatly.
“Take a look at it yourself first. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come ask me three days from now!”
Chen Liu Jia tossed Jiang Wangzu a thread-bound booklet bearing the words “Iron Garment Technique.”
Jiang Wangzu touched the writing on the booklet. The ink was still wet, which showed that Old Master Chen had written it from memory moments earlier.
Many Martial Artists used this method as well.
They kept all their Martial Arts Manuals in their own minds. Once they died, the techniques disappeared with them.
Even turning their residences upside down would not reveal a single physical copy of their Martial Arts Manuals.
Jiang Wangzu quickly read through the 《Iron Garment Technique》 manual, then opened his Attribute Panel with a thought:
【Name: Jiang Wangzu】
【Occupation: martial artist】
【Technique: Iron Crotch Technique（perfection）】
【Technique: Black Tiger Fist（minor accomplishment）】
【Rapid cultivation method: Ten practice sessions daily, supplemented by one dose of black tiger powder secret medicine each day, allows major accomplishment in thirty days; or one hundred practice sessions daily, along with eating thirty jin of beef each day, allows major accomplishment in three years!】
【Technique: 《Iron Garment Technique》（Not Yet Initiated）】
【Rapid cultivation method: Become Stronger by Taking Hits!】
【Talents: succubus, golden twin kidneys】
“Become stronger by taking hits?”
“Is it really that crude?”
Jiang Wangzu looked at the Attribute Panel and froze.
The Rapid Cultivation Method for Body-Tempering Techniques was even more unrestrained than those for conventional techniques.
Jiang Wangzu had noticed hints of this while cultivating the Iron Crotch Technique.
But he had not expected the 《Iron Garment Technique》 to be even more unconventional. Taking hits allowed him to accumulate experience points and advance from initiation to Minor Accomplishment, then Major Accomplishment and even Perfection, without any bottlenecks!
Woohoo, I’m taking off!
Jiang Wangzu left Chen Liu Jia’s residence with the booklet containing the 《Iron Garment Technique》, beaming with delight.
“Most body-tempering techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master. Is the Iron Garment Technique, evolved from Dragon roar iron shirt, the same?”
After Jiang Wangzu left, Han Qiao could not help asking.
“His Tiger-Form Fist is no ordinary technique. It should be a good Strength Training Method, enough to carry him to Perfected Strength Training.”
“So giving him a body-tempering technique and letting you get some exercise as well is a good thing.”
“Besides, I know his Innate Bone Structure is average, so I simplified the Iron Garment Technique considerably to make it easier for him to cultivate.”
“If you help him temper his physique every three days and combine that with the Medicinal Bath I prepared, his strength will soar.”
“He may not cultivate the Iron Garment Technique to Great Perfection, but reaching Major Accomplishment will be no problem. Once he reaches Perfected Strength Training and combines it with the Iron Garment Technique, he will be strong enough to rival a Skin-Tempering Martial Artist!”
“As for what happens afterward, we’ll see.”
“What about you? How does your body feel?”
Chen Liu Jia asked, despite already knowing the answer.
“Better than ever.”
After Han Qiao finished speaking, she leaped from the Martial Training Platform and drifted away, leaving Chen Liu Jia with only the back of her head.
“Hahaha!”
“Good, good, good!”
Chen Liu Jia threw back his head and laughed.
After leaving Chen Liu Jia’s residence, Jiang Wangzu did not return home. Instead, he went straight to the Rear Courtyard of Jishi Hall.
He arrived early today. Little Medical Immortal had not yet had time to boil his medicine and was selecting Medicinal Herbs.
“Why did you come so early?”
“By the way, did you go to see Old Man Chen today?”
“How did it go?”
Little Medical Immortal asked curiously, though she also seemed somewhat conflicted.
“Sister A-Qiao didn’t say anything.”
“Old Master was pleased with me and even gave me a Third-Rate Body-Tempering Technique.”
“He told me to come back in three days and continue being Sister A-Qiao’s sparring partner.”
Jiang Wangzu said.
