He said, half-jokingly, that someone in this mansion wanted to kill him, and asked Chu Zhongtian to investigate. If he found the person who had been trying to kill him, then everything would be fine.

Originally, he planned to shift the blame onto Mei Hua Thirteen, and taking this opportunity to have the Chu family eliminate the Mei Hua Gang would be a good idea. However, he immediately remembered what Cheng Shouping had mentioned before: the Chu family was most averse to its members gambling. Once, a young master of his cousin was caught gambling by the bookmaker, which angered Chu Zhongtian, who broke both of his legs.

Zu An remembered that the Plum Blossom Gang still held his IOU, and he really didn't want to break the law.

"Such a thing actually happened?" Chu Zhongtian frowned, clearly having considered many possibilities. "Don't worry, I will strengthen the guards at the manor to prevent such a thing from happening again."

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Zu An said, looking extremely grateful.

Chu Zhongtian nodded, then instructed his attendant to summon the physician from the manor. He then said, "You don't need to worry too much. Your injuries are not fatal. You'll be fine after some rest. I'll go investigate who attacked you first. You should take good care of yourself."

“But I still have family rules to copy, I need to go back to work…” Zu’an struggled to get up, looking diligent and hardworking.

The guard beside Chu Zhongtian looked at him with disdain, thinking to himself, "Who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows what kind of person you are."

However, Chu Zhongtian had no doubts: "Don't worry, leave these to Cheng Shouping. You don't need to worry about them." After saying that, he left in a hurry. He had suspected before that someone was targeting Zu'an, and now that it was confirmed, he needed to go back immediately to discuss it with his wife.

Zuan could only express his sympathy for Cheng Shouping, saying, "It's better for you to die than for me. You've had a hard time."

Not long after Chu Zhongtian left, someone brought a doctor over, prescribed medicine for him, and bandaged his wounds.

Zuan knew he didn't actually need any of this; Ji Dengtu's medicine was very effective, and he just needed time to recover. However, he couldn't say these things directly, so he could only let them do as they pleased.

After a while, these people finally left, and Zuan finally had time to check on his physical condition.

He hadn't had the energy to check before because of his serious injury, but now he was surprised to find that all nine magic circles on his skin had been filled, and then another nine magic circles appeared in the muscles all over his body.

What's going on?

You should know that previously only 6 magic arrays were full.

Zuan could hardly believe his eyes and rubbed them hard before he was sure he wasn't seeing things.

Could it be because of the fierce battle he just had with Pei Mianman?

Throughout the entire process, he didn't know how many blows he suffered, how many punches he took, or how many slaps he endured. His ribs were broken countless times by the woman's elbow strikes.

If it weren't for the existence of the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball," the injuries he suffered would probably have been enough to kill him ten times over.

Although he knew that the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra's characteristic was that the more severe the injury, the faster the cultivation would improve, he didn't expect it to be this fast.

According to his calculations, it would take 13 Qi Fruits to fill the 7th magic circle, 21 for the 8th, and 34 for the 9th. The beating he received was equivalent to 68 Qi Fruits!

Even if you only get one item in 10 draws, you still need at least some anger points to convert it into anger points.

In comparison, gaining anger points to level up is far less efficient and faster than leveling up by being attacked.

So you should go get beaten up more often from now on?

Although this idea is a bit cheap, the potential profits are undeniable.

However, after a brief moment of excitement, Zuan dismissed the idea. After all, today's huge gains were based on the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball." Without it, he would have died countless times.

After all, the "Rich Woman's Happy Ball" can only be used once. What will happen after that? Without the protection of this thing, firstly, it will hurt a lot to get beaten up, and secondly, you can easily mess things up if you're not careful. Zaun doesn't think he's lucky enough to be able to survive and take enough damage every time.

It seems that this can only play a supporting role. The main thing is still to rely on the Spirit Fruit. Although it is slower, it is more stable and long-term.

Upon closer inspection, he suddenly noticed that some lines had appeared between the nine magic arrays on his skin, which together vaguely formed a pattern of a strange, large bird.

It was seen spreading its wings as if about to take flight. Its entire body was snow-white, while its tail feathers were bright red, interspersed with yellow spots that looked like eyes.

What's even more striking is its head, which resembles neither a tiger nor a demon, giving it a fierce and terrifying appearance at first glance, making one's hair stand on end.

"What is this thing?" Zuan was startled. Suddenly, he noticed something that looked like a seal in the lower right corner of the strange bird pattern. There were two characters written on it in small seal script: "Great Wind".
