Lin Yu's Two Masters

Yu Wan'er became Jiang Che's "test subject."

As expected, the secret technique was indeed remarkable—it could genuinely alter a person's physique.

It could even change one's cultivation aptitude.

Take Yu Wan'er, for example. Her physique had improved slightly, and though the enhancement was minimal, what if it accumulated over time?

In just a month, her physical fitness would likely improve significantly.

She wouldn't catch a cold or fever from a slight breeze anymore, and menstrual cramps would no longer plague her.

Jiang Che stretched lazily, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

The effects of the dual cultivation technique were indeed remarkable. He could even sense an improvement in his own aptitude.

"System, use 10 years of inner strength."

With Chen Ningshuang absent, he decided to secretly make a breakthrough.

Another 10 years of inner strength surged into his body, forcibly pushing his cultivation from the mid-stage of Transform Force to... the late-stage of Transform Force.

Ten years of inner strength, and he only advanced one minor realm?

This left Jiang Che deeply frustrated. His cultivation aptitude was truly abysmal!

No wonder Jiang Yunhuang was so shocked when he saw that Jiang Che was only at the mid-stage of Transform Force.

After spending nearly 140 years' worth of inner strength, he had only reached the late-stage of Transform Force. If this were anyone else, their grave would have been overgrown with weeds by now.

"Since my cultivation aptitude is so poor, I'll just have to expend more energy."

He would use energy to improve his cultivation aptitude.

Moreover, this cultivation technique had another incredible ability: as long as he actively circulated the technique, there was no risk of the girls getting pregnant.

......

Night fell.

Chen Hao was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Brother... no, Grandmaster, could you just hit me? Stop tormenting me."

In Chen Hao's eyes, the black-clad grandmaster before him was sent by Jiang Che to mess with his mind.

What a scoundrel! Not only had Jiang Che taken the girl he loved, but he had also forcibly taken his sister. Now, he had sent a terrifying grandmaster at the peak of the Grandmaster realm to keep an eye on him at all times.

Jiang Yi sat in the security room like a statue, but his presence was crushing Chen Hao.

"Grandmaster... could you say something? Hit me, scold me, do whatever you want."

Chen Hao cried, terrified.

Although he had already reached the Transform Force realm, in the face of a peak Grandmaster, he was as fragile as a sheet of paper.

Before today, Chen Hao had been quite content, enjoying his cushy job as a carefree security guard.

But now... he couldn't even sleep peacefully.

...

Unlike Chen Hao's despair, Lin Yu was living quite comfortably.

"Brother Qiang, Brother Su, he..."

Lin Yu's spirit had completely shattered, but Brother Qiang had trained him well.

"He's dead!"

Brother Qiang's eyes carried a trace of sorrow. He had personally helped Young Master Wang dispose of Su Han's body.

It pained him deeply.

"Wuwuwu... Xiao Lin, you're all I have now."

Brother Qiang cried as he hugged Lin Yu, their bond brimming with affection.

Lin Yu had grown out his hair, his facial features now softer, with a hint of femininity in his demeanor.

"Was it Jiang Che who killed Brother Su?"

"Shh— Xiao Lin, don't say such things. You're all I have... Don't go looking for trouble. Let's just live peacefully together."

Brother Qiang grabbed Lin Yu's arm.

"In a while, I'll send you to Thailand. I'll arrange for you to undergo a perfect surgery there, so you can completely transform!"

Lin Yu's expression shifted slightly, his eyes narrowing with a hint of madness as he nodded with a smile.

For a brief moment, he remembered that he still had two masters.

But now, all he felt toward them was hatred. His current miserable state was entirely their fault.

He vaguely recalled when he first started learning medicine, Lin Xiaotian had told him... the Ghost Doctor Sect only treated the wealthy and powerful!

Using medicine to curry favor with the elite was the quickest way to climb the social ladder.

Lin Xiaotian had even taught him hundreds of ways to ruin a man, but never how to heal one who had been ruined.

A doctor cannot heal himself!

His current wretched state was entirely because his two masters had failed to teach him properly!!!

......

Meanwhile, on Dragon Spine Mountain.

"Brother Xiaotian, why have I been feeling so uneasy ever since Xiao Yu entered the world?"

The black-robed woman spoke in a hoarse voice, her face hidden behind a black mask, but her gray hair and wrinkled skin betrayed her age.

She looked like an old woman.

Lin Xiaotian sighed softly. "Next month will be the time. The ten-year period is up, and we can re-enter the world."

As he spoke, he glanced at the black-robed woman's face and twitched his lips.

Zhou Xuemei—a woman he had met over twenty years ago. Back then, she had been quite beautiful, but she suffered from progeria, a condition that caused her skin to sag as if she were in her sixties or seventies, despite being in her twenties.

He had exhausted all his medical skills to alleviate her condition, but to truly cure her... they would need the legendary Beauty Preservation Pill.

"Brother Xiaotian, Xiao Yu won't get into trouble, right?" Zhou Xuemei asked.

"Of course not. I once had someone divine Xiao Yu's fate."

"He is destined to face this trial, but it won't be fatal. Once he overcomes it... he will undergo a complete transformation, like a carp leaping through the dragon gate."

When speaking of Lin Yu, Lin Xiaotian was filled with confidence. The skills he had taught Lin Yu were more than sufficient.

"Let's start packing. Tomorrow, I'll report to the Ancient Martial Arts Management Bureau."

As he spoke, Lin Xiaotian seemed to remember something, and his anger flared. His terrifying inner strength caused the surrounding leaves to rustle violently.

Zhou Xuemei's eyes flickered with admiration.

The Grandmaster realm!

"Hmph, Ai Shouying! I lost to you by a narrow margin ten years ago, but now... I have reached the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm. I can suppress you with just one hand!"

Lin Xiaotian laughed heartily.
