C93 All Women Are Known To Be Tigers

In the room.

Zhan Tianming stretched out his body on the comfortable bed, unwilling to leave the soft cushions just yet. He was in no hurry to tell Feng Wushuang that Zhang Bao possessed One Star Martial Spirit’s strength. After all, he didn’t know her too well, so he was still deliberating if he should tell her or not.

To add to that, Zhan Tianming was injured. His arm had been chewed on until it was a bloody pulp.

“She’s no different from a tigress. Does she actually think I’m meat?”

Zhan Tianming shook his head out of exasperation.

“Hey, Zhan Tianming, stop playing dead. When will you hand over the one million Floral Jade Pills that you promised me?”

Feng Wushuang’s loud shout could be heard from outside the door.

Zhan Tianming glared at the closed door.

She really wants me to hand over a million pills?

Damn, does this mean she could actually increase the profit a hundred times over?

“All women are tigers. The ancients never bothered me.”

“Hey, what are you rambling on about in there? I have prepared all the ingredients. Get up and get going on those pills for me.”

“Okay, okay…”

Zhan Tianming shook his head and sighed. But decided to go back to making those pills nonetheless.

After all, here was someone offering him free medicinal herbs to help raise his cultivation skills as an apothecary. Where else would he find such a good opportunity just laying around?

If he didn’t take advantage of this opportunity right then, later on, he would have to use his own money in order to be promoted to an apothecary. This chance to up his game came free of charge.

Zhan Tianming pushed open the door and walked out.

“I’m heading out…”

Just as he stepped out of his room, something shocking made Zhan Tianming’s eyes widen.

“Do you think this will be enough? Do these medicinal herbs look sufficient?” Feng Wushuang pointed in the direction of the dozens of carriages parked in the courtyard, her face complacent. “If you don’t think this is enough, I can get them to send more over. You don’t need to worry so much about the supply of medicinal herbs. Just help me refine and process them.”

“Enough, enough! These are plenty.” Sweat was pouring down Zhan Tianming’s forehead. He lifted up a hand to wipe off his wet scalp.

When Zhan Tianming went to buy medicinal ingredients himself, he brought by jin. For Feng Wushuang, buying medicinal ingredients meant to buy by car.

If it had its place on Earth, in no time at all it would be in the pockets of the wealthy lady’s class.

But that was missing the point entirely.

Most importantly, how long would it take him to finish processing so many medicinal herbs?

He tried estimating. Ten days? Twenty days?

A month?

If this continued, would he still have a life to take with him when he left?

“Don’t look so bitter. I’m doing all I can to help you.” Feng Wushuang walked so that she stood in front of Zhan Tianming and patted his shoulder. The expression she had on her face said that she was only doing this for his own good.

“You’re helping me?” Zhan Tianming said with still that bitter expression on his face.

“Yeah. All an apothecary is is lots of medicinal herbs. Didn’t you already know that?” Feng Wushuang said while staring at Zhan Tianming.

As much as he tried to not reveal any type of expression, the corner of Zhan Tianming’s mouth twitched out of amusement.

Beautiful ladies, that’s called accumulating energy over time, right? This was overkill.

However, even if he had to accumulate all sorts of resources over the course of several years, he would never have been able to complete it over the relatively short time span Feng Wushuang gave him by himself. Feng Wushuang just made things easier for him.

Of course, his talents and abilities made him the exception. His level of proficiency increased every day with hard work, strengthening his skills as well as his alchemy abilities.

However, such training would tire him out and pretty soon he would be a dead dog lying on the ground.

In the end, Zhan Tianming was grateful for the endless supply of medicinal herbs, exclaiming loudly, “Store the medicinal ingredients in the courtyard for now. From this point forward, I’ll give you a hundred Floral Jade Pills.”

After shooing Feng Wushuang away so that he could get started on his work, Zhan Tianming grabbed some medicinal ingredients and turned to make his way into the house.

“Pill forging!”

“Ding dong…”

“Pill forging!”

“Ding dong…”

“...”

Zhan Tianming sped up his movements using his Pill Refining Technique every three seconds and the help of the fifteen Qi points added to the jade pendant to increase his success rate to almost 70%. Due to his elevated speed and coordination, soon Zhan Tianming was able to refine a hundred Floral Jade Pills without even breaking a sweat.

Not long after, Zhan Tianming stopped what he was doing and began to wonder.

“In the end, how can I put a stop to Zongzheng Wanyou’s marriage with Zhang Bao?”

“What options do I have? Snatch the bride?”

“I’m not all that familiar with Zongzheng Wanyou. Even if I go and kidnap the bride, she might be unwilling to go with me. Even if she doesn’t resist, the people of the County Prince Palace will not be pleased. When those warriors make their move, with what strength I have, even if I have help, death will be no surprise.”

“A headache, ah, I feel a headache coming…”

Zhan Tianming was relieved that there was still three months standing between them and the wedding day.

“Wait…”

Suddenly, a thought occurred to him that made him feel awkward.

“I am planning to disrupt a wedding here, but I don’t know the bride’s opinion on this. If she is willing to marry that Zhang Bao and has no objection to being his wife, wouldn’t I have created a scene all for nothing?”

“No, first I have to see what Zongzheng Wanyou has to say before I come barging in."

Just as he was saying this...

With little to no hesitation, Zhan Tianming went right into action.

But the moment he stepped out of his room, he was met with the image of the red-clothed Feng Wushuang alone and deep in thought over something in the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of a door opening, Feng Wushuang turned her head around and looked over.

Zhan Tianming walked over and handed over the bag he was clutching.

“Here you are. One hundred today as promised.”

Hearing his words, Feng Wushuang’s face froze in shock. On her features was a look of disbelief. As she stared straight at Zhan Tianming trying to gauge if he was lying to her or not, she said, her shock still pretty visible on her face, “You’re actually done?”

“That’s only a hundred pills. To me, that’s nothing. No trouble at all. I finished the entire batch in a matter of minutes.” After stating this proudly, Zhan Tianming strode out of the courtyard confidently and unencumbered.

Feng Wushuang could only stare blankly at Zhan Tianming’s back as he slowly made his way into the house.

Quickly regaining her senses, she grasped open the bag and peered inside to inspect the contents.

“Oh my god! A hundred Floral Jade Pills just like that. He had finished them so quickly. How is that even possible?”

Feng Wushuang was rendered speechless.

Although she had just personally witnessed Zhan Tianming’s godly refining skills, needing only a tenth of the time to show off his skills as a pill refiner, this was a hundred pills they are talking about. Who could dare say they can consistently bring such results every time?

In addition, producing a hundred pills in a row would deplete the energy reserves of a lot of alchemists, right?

Zhan Tianming acted as if this was nothing.

After recovering from her shock, Feng Wushuang’s eyes flashed greedily with a light akin to discovering some treasure.

“Haha, you’re mine now. I’m never letting you go.”

“Pah pah pah…”

“I… To be clear, your pill forging abilities are mine now. I will keep you by my side to ensure my supply of pills never gets too low. I want the Beauty Pellet, the Eternal Residence Pellet, and the Skin Strengthening Pill… In fact, any pill that will be of use to a woman, I want!

Feng Wushuang’s mind raced with exciting thoughts of all the possibilities.

Zhan Tianming had no clue about what was going through Feng Wushuang’s mind at this time.

If he had any idea, he would probably react by vomiting out blood.

At this time, Zhan Tianming was exploring the County Prince Palaces by himself. As he walked through the many halls, did he finally truly understand just how enormous the palace was.

This place was huge!

Within the entire County Prince Palace occupied many mansions, small bridges, flowing water, fake mountain gardens, everything that could be imagined. The arrangement of the palace was so dazzling and intricate right on first impression it gave people the feeling of entering a maze.

As Zhan Tianming walked on, he felt like he was getting more and more lost.

“This… Can it be true?”

“I can’t believe it! I’m really lost.”

Zhan Tianming’s face had a bitter smile on it. North, south, east, west. It was all the same to him.

At this very moment, a mysterious figure peered at Zhan Tianming from out of the shadows and revealed a faint but sinister smile.

“Alone? This is my chance.”
