From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Li Xiong's death caused quite a stir in Cangmang City. With his death, the Black Tiger Gang's territory was completely divided up by gangs such as the Ghost Alliance and the Big Knife Gang.

For half a month, the fighting between the major gangs never stopped.

Zhang Yu secretly took precautions and restrained Wen Hua and the others, forbidding anyone from leaving the house and forcing everyone to stay in seclusion in the courtyard for arduous cultivation.

It was chaotic outside, but because of the lingering influence of Zhang Yu's instant kill of Qian Yong, a master of internal energy, no one dared to cause him any trouble.

The Black Tiger Gang members did not come to the door.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Zhang Yu looked at the system panel and a smile appeared on his face.

With an abundance of monster meat and medicinal baths, Niu Mancang can increase Iron Shirt proficiency by 6 points per day.

Wen Hua practices Qingfeng Zhuang during the day and Iron Shirt at night. He can increase Zhang Yu's proficiency in Iron Shirt by 3 points every day, while Qingfeng Zhuang increases it by as much as 12 points.

His exceptional talent certainly did not disappoint Zhang Yu.

After Li Yue switched to practicing the Qingfeng Stance, she also made progress. Zhang Yu noticed that when he first started practicing the Qingfeng Stance, Li Yue could only give him one proficiency point per day. However, as time went on, Li Yue's understanding of the technique became more and more thorough. Her tempered destiny came into play, and after half a month, she could provide Zhang Yu with three proficiency points per day.

This is terrifying. Don't be fooled by the fact that Wen Hua, who is good at both skills, can provide 12 points of proficiency every day, while Li Yue only provides 1 point. However, Li Yue's proficiency can increase.

If it increases to 3 points in half a month, what about after half a year?

Zhang Yu is really looking forward to it!

【Iron Shirt Skills (151/500)】

[Qingfeng Stance, Minor Success (36/500)]

With the completion of the Qingfeng stance, his power increased once again.

"It's time to go to Lingyin City." Zhang Yu closed the control panel, got up, and left the room.

That day, he quietly left Cangmang City with Niu Mancang and Chu Qingwen in the Chu family's carriage.

Zhang Yu entrusted Li Yue and the others to Wen Hua's care, telling them not to leave the courtyard and to wait for his return.

Chu Qingwen was thrilled to be alone with Zhang Yu, and she had automatically ignored the honest and simple-minded Niu Mancang.

Throughout the journey, she took great care of Zhang Yu, while also harboring her own little womanly thoughts.

For example, when pouring tea for Zhang Yu, the seemingly accidental touch on the back of Zhang Yu's hand was more like a teasing gesture.

When the carriage jolted, she would deliberately lean into Zhang Yu's arms.

In her heart, she never considered herself Zhang Yu's disciple, but rather wanted to be his wife.

Zhang Yu initially enjoyed the ambiguity, but gradually lost interest. Along the way, he saw many people from the lower classes, with prominent cheekbones, sunken eyes, and skin and bones; all the children had huge heads atop thin necks.

Their eyes were numb, and they worked in the fields without any vitality.

The powerful and wealthy live in luxury and do not treat ordinary people as human beings at all.

A young master from a wealthy family in the city went for a spring outing with his hunting dog. The dog bit off a child's neck, and the young master laughed heartily.

The child's parents cried out in anguish and tried to reason with him, but the guards drew their swords and killed them.

Zhang Yu frowned, a hint of anger on his face.

"Master, the Western Wilderness Continent is the domain of martial artists. Not to mention these farmers, even our Chu family could be devoured at any time. My fate won't be much better than that child's," Chu Qingwen said.

"You can only manage for a short time, not forever, and you can't manage the entire Western Wilderness. You'll only bring yourself all sorts of trouble and danger. The rulers of the Western Wilderness are the ancient families and the three major sects. They have completely cut off the path for ordinary people to advance to the middle three realms of martial arts."

"If you want a promotion, you have to be their dog."

"Our Chu family has spent generations of effort and countless amounts of gold and silver treasures, but we have only managed to obtain a second-rate cultivation technique. First-rate cultivation techniques will never be passed down because they can only break through to the True Qi Realm of the middle three realms."

Chu Qingwen told Zhang Yu a lot, which helped him to understand the Western Wilderness Continent better.

call……

Zhang Yu exhaled a breath of stale air, and thinking of the arrogant nobles and the common people working in the fields, he suddenly had a goal in mind.

The ultimate romance for a man is never about women, but about having the world in his heart, conquering the world, saving the people from suffering, and thus achieving sainthood.

Cloud Hidden City, Chu Family Villa.

Chu Chengye was entertaining Zhang Yu and his group who had just arrived.

He placed a jade box in front of Zhang Yu: "Young Master Zhang, the Chu family has lived up to expectations and successfully bid for this Fire Spirit Crystal."

This Fire Spirit Crystal cost 80% of the assets of their main branch.

Zhang Yu took the jade box, opened it, and found a fiery red, fist-sized sphere with a small flame in the center, which was quite peculiar.

Thank you!

He remembered the kindness shown by the Chu family.

"If Young Master Zhang is ever able to reach the Middle Three Realms in the future, I hope you will take care of the Chu family." Chu Chengye bowed and said.

He had great faith in his daughter Chu Qingwen's intuition, which is why he risked the future of the first branch of the family.

"Of course!" Zhang Yu cupped his hands in greeting.

Three days later, a large cauldron was erected in the backyard of the Chu family's villa, with firewood burning underneath. Inside the cauldron was a black liquid, bubbling and gurgling.

The large cauldron contains the medicinal soup that activates the Wild Bull's body, which has been simmering for three days and three nights.

The time was almost right. Zhang Yu turned to Niu Mancang with a serious expression: "Mancang, have you thought this through? Success will activate a certain constitution within your body; failure will reduce your entire body to ashes."

"I've made up my mind. I want revenge, and I'm willing to pay any price for it. Please grant my request, Master." Niu Mancang knelt down with a thud, his eyes filled with unwavering determination, without a trace of fear.

"Take off your clothes and come inside."

"yes!"

Niu Mancang took off his clothes and sat inside the large cauldron. Zhang Yu instructed the Chu family's servants to keep the fire burning.

Soon, screams of agony emanated from the cauldron—sounds of pain that pierced to the very marrow of one's bones.

Ahh...

Zhang Yu didn't linger and turned to leave. From the moment Niu Mancang entered the cauldron, there was no turning back.

"I hope you can pull through," Zhang Yu thought to himself.

Niu Mancang's screams lasted for three hours, then suddenly stopped, which made Zhang Yu very worried.

Time ticked by, filled with anxiety and worry.

Niu Mancang, inside the cauldron, found himself transported back a year to when his family of six was working in the fields.

"Father, Mother, Big Dog, Second Dog..." Niu Mancang cried out loudly, tears streaming down his face.

He misses them every moment.

The scene continues, showing Hu the rich man taking a fancy to his wife, followed by the scene of his parents being killed.

"No...no..." Niu Mancang roared from inside the cauldron.

Glug glug.

The black liquid began to seep into his body, causing his flesh and bones to shatter and simultaneously repair themselves.

Nine days and nine nights later.

The fire has been extinguished.

"Open the cauldron!" Zhang Yu's voice trembled slightly.

This is the method provided by the system. Although I believe it, it has been cooked for nine days. Logically speaking, a person would have been overcooked long ago.

"There are martial artists here who can fly and teleport, so we can't think like we do on Earth," Zhang Yu muttered to himself.
