Midnight.

Jiang He took a carriage back to the Bo Mansion from the night market.

The maids and servants had already gone to bed, and Wu, the housekeeper, went to the Wangfu Chamber of Commerce overnight and exchanged for three thousand taels of silver notes.

Jiang He only took two thousand and asked Wu, the housekeeper, to go to the restaurant to prepare a banquet tomorrow morning. The one thousand taels was the consumption, and his reserve was restored to nearly six thousand taels. In fact, Zhuang Ya ate and drank a lot at the night market, and only spent twenty taels of silver.

Back in the bedroom, Zhuang Ya turned into a little white snake again, crawled to the corner of the bed and curled up to sleep.

Jiang He sat cross-legged. With sufficient ginseng supply, he no longer spared the aphid blood stone. He ate ten in one breath and immediately refined it with the Withered Heart Sutra.

The vitality equivalent to a hundred days of life flowed through his limbs and bones. The progress of the second level of the Withered Heart Sutra was rising steadily, and the energy was flying and surging in the meridians.

This horrifying growth rate gradually made the meridians unable to bear it, but fortunately, the advanced self-healing continued to work, allowing someone to avoid the fate of having all the meridians broken.

The mysterious skills were running, and time passed quickly.

Five hours later, the second meridian was opened.

[Hint: Your energy value +100]

[Energy value: 1801]

[Hint: Rare skill quantity trait · Withering, causing 3% → 6% additional withering damage]

On the bed, Jiang He opened his eyes and pressed his hands down from his chest. With the prompt of external movements, the internal skills ended, and the obvious dizziness emerged again.

After half a quarter of an hour, Jiang He exhaled a turbid breath. The effect of ten aphid blood stones was extremely significant. A complete practice opened up a meridian. He now has forty-nine on hand, which is enough for a short time. As for the one thousand hundred-year-old ginseng, they have been put into the item bag to serve as daily snacks.

The sky outside the window is about to brighten.

Jiang He reached out and pulled the little white snake over.

"Practicing."

"Big Snake, I'm sleepy." Zhuang Ya answered dazedly.

"Okay."

Jiang He put her on the pillow casually. Without a partner to practice, he could still use other methods to practice.

The Holy Iron External Kung Fu is a collection of nine iron-generation martial arts. The quality is not yet up to the excellent level of the corresponding grandmaster. It is currently only at the upper-grade martial arts level.

By destroying the body, the energy permeates the body and achieves a deep fusion with it, so that it can obtain a tough defense when activated. The biggest advantage is that it does not consume energy value, and the duration depends on physical strength.

In some extremely harsh environments, this martial art can provide basic but effective protection.

Jiang He raised his hand, and a drop of corrosive energy flowed out from his fingertips, like a dark red water drop.

As the owner of energy, the corrosive power usually cannot hurt himself, but this is just a normal situation.

Jiang He relaxed his mind, and this extremely dangerous drop of water immediately corroded his finger.

"The difference lies in the judgment of will."

Advanced self-healing started one after another, bones proliferated, meridians and blood vessels extended and entangled, flesh and blood grew, and the epidermis covered. During this period, a trace of energy ran along the acupoints of the Holy Iron External Skill, taking the opportunity to infiltrate the body.

[Progress of the Small Success of the Holy Iron External Skill: 21%]

Jiang He followed the same method and corroded his hands, arms, and shoulders in turn. Compared with the hammering of the knife back, this method is undoubtedly much faster. He did not choose it before because the pain was too intense and it was not cost-effective.

The morning light rose outside the window.

As time passed, the sun rose higher and higher.

[Progress of the Small Success of the Holy Iron External Skill: 99%]

When Jiang He's eyes gradually recovered from the corrosion, the progress reached 100%.

[Name: Holy Iron External Skill]

[Category: Skills]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: Small Success of Holy Iron State, the body gains low-level toughness when activated]

[Note: Body is like iron, tough as steel]

[Hint: Your Constitution +1]

[Constitution: 10+2→11+2]

Jiang He activated the Holy Iron State, and a layer of dark and deep light appeared on the surface of his body, as if he was wearing a tightly fitting armor. During the entire practice, only the perineum acupoint made him feel a little numb, and the rest was just pure pain.

"The limit of the Holy Iron State is about six hours, but the physical strength cannot be used for this. Under the current circumstances, ordinary people holding swords have to chop with all their strength to break the defense."

Jiang He dispersed the external skills, and there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Master, you have to leave." Wu Guanjia said.

...

Daming Mansion, Chuyao Tower.

When Jiang He arrived here by carriage, the restaurant was just being performed by the courtesan.

As one of the largest restaurants in Daming Prefecture, Chuyaolou, as the name suggests, is famous for the graceful waists of singing girls.

The building is eight stories high, with walls on all sides. Jiang He, accompanied by the consul, went up layer by layer, and looked down from the side, and could see the dancing courtesans and singing girls on the first floor.

When he came to the top floor, the view was quite wide. The Jianshui River flowed eastward, and he could see the whole city. In the distance, the majestic Jianchi Mountains lay on the ground, like a giant beast. The dark clouds above the Shenlingtian were heavy and had not dispersed for a thousand years. On the other side of the Jianchi Mountains was a thousand-foot abyss, and falling into it would kill him.

No mistakes, one sentence, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

"Master, how can we let the guests arrive first?"

Among the four beams and eight pillars, the banquet was ready, and Princess Anbei was still wearing a simple Taoist robe with a white veil covering her face.

Jiang He looked down from the railing. A young man in white had already arrived downstairs. It was no surprise that he was the eldest son of the Yan family.

"Who is the spy of the Anbei Palace?"

The princess chuckled: "You are young, the palace is preparing the plump woman who is a little older. Of course, I can't get involved in this kind of internal affairs for the time being. Now the harem and spies are all under the control of Mrs. Chen. If the concubine was not surnamed Yan, she would have fallen into the well long ago."

Jiang He said calmly: "The prince's life is really frustrating."

"There is no way." The princess spread her hands, "Even if the Anbei Army is twice as many, the eunuch in the palace can take the prince's life. The grandmaster is the most outstanding assassin in the world. He can make the four governors bow their heads and listen to him by himself. The prince didn't believe in evil before, so the prince died."

While the two were chatting, the eldest son of the Yan family went up to the top floor.

"I greet you, my Lord and my Princess."

Jiang He looked calm. According to common sense, this young master was unable to take the imperial examination due to illness, and he did not enter the capital to inherit the throne, and he refused all kinds of gifts. He was indeed a commoner at the moment, but as the eldest grandson of the Yan family, before the tree fell, it would be a shame to say that I am a commoner.

And this guy is very likely to be a master.

Jiang He's expression did not change, and he secretly cancelled the active skill Beast Eye. Through this ordinary skill, he can obtain the vision of the target animal. The vision reaction speed of the master is far faster than that of the middle-grade warrior. So far, there has been no misjudgment.

The realm of the eldest son of the Yan family is obviously abnormal, even surpassing the young geniuses.

"I hope you two are not really here for dinner."

The princess smiled and said, "The prince only asked me to ask one thing, whether the soldier from the North City Command yesterday was a barbarian."

"Subjectively, maybe." Jiang He answered indifferently.
