179: Gangjin Grandmaster

“What, you’re finally willing to call me brother-in-law?”

“Of course, you are my brother-in-law…”

Pei Yunxi’s casual and matter-of-fact tone showed her complete acceptance of Jiang Che’s identity.

Previously, because her relationship with Jiang Che wasn’t close, and he was even a few years younger than her.

Therefore, Pei Yunxi had always found it difficult to say the words “brother-in-law.”

“No problem, then let’s connect tonight…”

“Alrighty!”

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yunxi turned and got into the police car, slowly driving towards the main police station.

………………

Qingteng Mountain Villa, second-floor bedroom.

“Who said that police flower heroines are all brainless tomboys and tigresses?”

“I don’t feel it at all…”

Looking at the hung-up phone, Jiang Che gently shook his head and muttered to himself.

After several brief encounters with Pei Yunxi, Jiang Che hadn’t found her to be brainless; her straightforward personality was real, she said whatever was on her mind.

Without overthinking, Jiang Che slightly immersed his mind and communicated directly with the system in his mind.

“System, how much emotional value do I have left now?”

“Host currently has 285,808 emotional value remaining…”

“That much?”

“Exchange a Great Rejuvenation Pill for me, and let’s do an eight-consecutive draw!”

Jiang Che was slightly surprised, his expression peculiar.

Last night, he had gained 20,000 emotional value from the woman in black stockings, plus the contributions from Shen Yuxuan, Liu Mengxi, and the other women, accumulating to 200,000.

The remaining 80,000 must have all been contributed by Lin Tian.

One could imagine how desperate that guy must have felt waking up today to find he had contracted an STD and his own brother had turned into a soybean.

“Ding! Deducting 280,000 emotional value. A Great Rejuvenation Pill has been exchanged for the host. Beginning lottery draw…”

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Black Stockings Tights × 999,999,999,999…”

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Skill Card: Divine-level Cooking Skill…”

(Skill Card: This skill can be bestowed upon others.)

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Special Ability: Deadwood Spring…”

(Deadwood Spring: A special healing ability that can quickly restore injuries, possessing the miraculous effect of withered wood coming back to life.)

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Shadow Secret Guards × 10…”

“Ding! Thank you for your patronage…”

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Skill: Divine-level Acting Skill…”

“Not bad!”

Seeing the various rewards obtained from this draw, Jiang Che nodded in satisfaction, a pleased smile appearing on his face.

The others weren’t of much use, but this Deadwood Spring was truly amazing!

According to the system’s description, no matter how severe the injury, whether external or internal, he could quickly heal it using the Deadwood Spring method, causing the vitality within his body to burst forth, with an effect similar to some healing spells in cultivation techniques.

It was even more heaven-defying than the God-level Medical Skill he had obtained before.

Although God-level Medical Skill also possessed the miraculous ability to bring the dead back to life and turn decay into wonder, snatching people from the King of Hell’s hands,

its effect was still slightly inferior to Deadwood Spring, and its efficacy was not as fast.

As for this Divine-level Cooking Skill card…

Jiang Che pondered slightly, and an idea quickly formed in his mind.

Among his several wives, only Shen Yuxuan had the best cooking skills and enjoyed cooking; she was already his exclusive little chef.

Undoubtedly, this skill card was most suitable for Shen Yuxuan.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Che’s thoughts stirred, and he directly retrieved the exchanged Great Rejuvenation Pill from the system space.

In an instant, the crystal-clear, golden, fragrant pill appeared in Jiang Che’s palm.

The pill’s aroma permeated the air, fresh and elegant, very pleasant to smell.

Just inhaling a breath, Jiang Che felt his mind clear and his spirit tremble.

If he could consume it directly, he couldn’t imagine what kind of ultimate transformation it would bring him; breaking through to Gang Jin Grandmaster in one go would be absolutely no problem!

(Bright Strength, Dark Strength, Transformation Strength, Dan Jin, Gang Jin, Unity of Heaven and Man)

Without hesitation, Jiang Che sat cross-legged and directly swallowed the Great Rejuvenation Pill.

The pill melted upon entry, transforming into boundless medicinal efficacy, flowing through his limbs, bones, and various acupoints, nourishing Jiang Che’s bones and meridians.

Vast and endless energy slowly converged towards the lower abdomen’s Dantian, circulating through his body, and then all merged into the true energy lake in the Dantian.

Repeating cycles, back and forth.

With the convergence of boundless energy, the quality of Nine Yang True Energy and Ice True Energy was infinitely elevated again, becoming even more surging.

Jiang Che closed his eyes tightly, a relaxed and comfortable expression on his face, feeling as if he were in a hot spring, his whole body experiencing an indescribable comfort, every cell on his body excitedly leaping!

Soon, Jiang Che was immersed in this profound and wonderfully mysterious breakthrough atmosphere.

Time slowly passed, and in a blink of an eye, six hours had elapsed.

Jiang Che’s cultivation also continuously broke through, from the initial Dan Jin mid-stage to the Dan Jin peak stage.

However, this was not the limit.

With a “pop,” as the bottleneck between Dan Jin and Gang Jin was broken and the shackles disappeared, under the blessing of vast true energy, Jiang Che’s cultivation was able to break through again, reaching the Gang Jin early stage in one go!

The lake in the Dantian in his lower abdomen expanded by another third, transforming from its original stream into a continuously flowing small river of true energy, with the ultimate Yin and Yang true energy permeating within, vast in momentum and endlessly flowing.

“Whoosh…”

Standing up and stretching his limbs, accompanied by crackling sounds from within his body, Jiang Che stretched leisurely and gently exhaled a turbid breath.

The improvement in cultivation brought an unparalleled sense of absolute confidence.

Jiang Che felt that he was terrifyingly strong now!

Gang Jin martial artists are also known as Gang Jin Grandmasters. The fact that they can be called Grandmasters is enough to show the fear that Gang Jin martial artists inspire; they have completely transcended the human realm.

They gain longevity and good fortune, and with Gang Qi protecting their bodies, they are no longer afraid of any hot weapons except missiles.

Taking the enemy general’s head from amidst an army is as easy as picking something from a bag.

Splitting mountains, shaking the earth, and reversing rivers are completely within their capabilities, and they can even achieve short-term aerial flight, swift as lightning.

Jiang Che spread his palm, and the extremely Yin, bone-chilling Ice True Energy spread in his palm.

In an instant, the temperature inside the entire room suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.

Jiang Che waved his hand casually, and the true energy burst out of his body, instantly breaking the window and rushing towards a rockery a hundred meters away!

“Boom!”

Almost instantly, the rockery a hundred meters away collapsed with a roar, turning into dust and stirring up a sky full of dust.
