…

Hundreds of miles away. Cliffs near the river.

Due to the different textures of the rocks, wind and rain have carved out indented caves, large or small, deep or shallow, on the cliffs, just like a face full of acne marks.

After leaving the small courtyard, Meng Zhou used his magical ability to walk thousands of miles, walking on water and chasing waves. When he reached this point, he stopped.

According to the memory of the former master, to the left is the direction away from Jade Lake. In ten days' journey, you can reach a new spiritual land for spiritual practice.

Moving forward, more than two hundred miles downstream along the Baijiang River, there is a large and very livable plain along the river, with many mortal towns and cities.

To the right, through a rugged mountain forest, you can enter Jade Lake.

According to Meng Zhouyi's initial plan, after leaving the small courtyard where the Baijiang Gang resides, he will leave the Cuiyu Lake area and go to other spiritual places to continue his development and cultivation.

The transaction with Mr. Mo was too big for the Qi Practitioner, and for him now, this windfall was too big and too heavy.

With such a huge sum of money in his pocket, he didn't want to cause trouble. He just wanted to find a safe place to digest it quietly and carefully.

From this perspective, Jade Lake is not a good choice.

As a second-level top spiritual vein, the water here is too deep. He, a casual cultivator in the early stages of Qi training, couldn't grasp it at all.

If he wasn't careful, any fallout could knock him to pieces.

Small shrimps stay in small creeks and gullies, and if they enter big rivers without warning, they can easily become food for big fish.

What's more, Jade Lake is still the base camp of the Mo family.

He was suspected of taking advantage of the deal reached with Mr. Mo.

He's not sure how to hold his grudge against himself, but when he calms down, he will definitely find ways to find fault.

Meng Zhou also knew what the most important thing was for Mr. Mo after he got the Baijiang Gang, and he was sure that he wouldn't be able to care about him for a while, so he dared to stay in the small courtyard for a while.

Otherwise, as early as the moment the deal was concluded, he should have been as far away as possible.

Even if he was confident that Xu Lei would not be able to recognize him in person, as long as he stayed in Jade Lake, this potential risk would always exist.

The world of spiritual practice is so big, with so many amazing skills and magical powers, so even if the possibility of being exposed is very small, why should he risk his own life?

In Meng Zhou's imagination, the ideal place for development in the next stage would be to leave Jade Lake and find a first-order spiritual vein to practice peacefully.

The water is shallow and the fish is small, allowing him to develop safely.

There are no foundation-building monks, only Qi-training monks. Even if he encounters some conflicts occasionally, he is confident that he can resolve them.

But just last night, when he was finally packing his bags, an unexpected discovery threw a huge stone into Meng Zhou's heart.

He struggled with this all day.

When he left the small courtyard, he was thinking about this matter in his mind. Now, when he had to make a choice, he was still a little undecided.

After looking around, Meng Zhou chose a hidden cave and got into it.

Sitting cross-legged in the cave, he had a wide field of vision and could see all the movement on the river. However, unless he deliberately exposed himself or the other party was very close, he would not be able to notice him in the cave.

Meng Zhou reached into his arms and took out the practice method, "Water Nourishing Technique" that his previous master had spent so much effort to buy.

Meng Zhou flipped through the pages, but his eyes were not on the text, but on the yellowing paper, the changes in the color of the text, and the soft roughness on the side edges of the book...

Everywhere reveals traces of time.

In his mind, Meng Zhou was carefully recalling the relevant contents in the memory of his former master.

After the former master discovered that he had mistakenly practiced the Blood Demon Kung Fu and learned that switching to a warming and healing technique could cure his rapidly deteriorating body, he began to search hard.

Because he had been cheated once, he didn't even dare to ask about such techniques as those spread on the ground or produced by "experts" passing by.

In the end, Duobaolou, which has a big family and a great business and always has a guaranteed reputation, became his first choice, and it can also be said to be the only choice.

Because with his strength and financial resources, he can't even enter those auctions or private transactions that also have credibility and security.

The main focus is on the practice of warming and healing. Because it is partial and the quantity is small, there are not many on the shelves of Duobaolou. The financial resources of the previous owner mean that the range of choices is even smaller.

The former owner chose "Water Nourishing Technique" as a result of rational weighing because it was the most cost-effective within the range that the previous owner could afford.

Meng Zhou also recalled the experience of his previous owner when he took the spirit stone to buy the "Water Nourishing Technique". When he made the request, the shopkeeper of Duobao Tower looked at him in surprise.

Then, he went to the warehouse and took out this practice book, and joked to him: "I gave you the treasure at the bottom of the box on our floor. Don't let it go."

At that time, the former owner was still a little confused, but the other party smiled and explained that this practice book had been in their hands for more than ten years, and no one had paid attention to it, so they had to make a big concession on the price.

This is also the reason why the previous owner feels that it is cost-effective.

Meng Zhou has practiced this method from the beginning to the present great achievement. Based on his personal experience, he can say with confidence that this method of practice is indeed good.

Therefore, this skill itself has no pitfalls.

Meng Zhou closed the book, looked at the leather cover, and reached out to touch it gently.

Because considering that many practitioners will carry it around, sometimes in wind and rain, and because they often read and comprehend, using a leather book cover can make the book better preserved and waterproof.

Therefore, this is not surprising. Neither the original owner nor Meng Zhou thought there was any problem with this.

Until last night, Meng Zhou, who had made up his mind to leave at dawn, packed his bags after completing his daily practice plan, and took a final inventory of items to avoid missing items.

At that time, he had just finished practicing, and there were still some residuals of Dacheng's Water Nourishing Technique on the fingertips of his palms. When he picked up the practice book "Water Nourishing Technique", he suddenly felt a strange feeling on his fingertips, like... Touch it on delicate and smooth skin.

Meng Zhou was startled by this suddenly different touch, and he even thought of the scene of a beautiful woman painting her skin.

When he calmed down, he quickly cracked the secret of the book cover through simple research.

At this moment, when Meng Zhou's fingertips touched the cover again, as Dacheng's Water Nourishing Technique mana was transmitted to his fingertips and submerged into the cover, a short line of text appeared on the seemingly ordinary cover.

[Water Nourishing Technique is separated from the complete exercise Water Nourishing and Moisturizing Body Jue. Because its essence is deficient, it cannot be used to build the foundation.

Those who can see this information must have talents that are in harmony with the Water Moisturizing Technique. If they use it to build a foundation, they will be more likely to succeed.

If you are interested, you can come to the fifth ancient well house at the end of Baiyue Bay in Cuiyu Lake to discuss.

The store is run with integrity, the price is fair, and everyone is honest.

——Bai Zhiliu and the destined person]

"Brother, what kind of luck do you have!"

Seeing this message that only the Dacheng-level Water Nourishing Technique can trigger the manifestation, the first thought in Meng Zhou's mind was not the strange message itself, but lamenting the luck of his previous master.

Not many warriors who were far inferior to him in terms of strength, experience, and vision had entered the practice circle by accident, but he, a martial arts master, was almost tricked to death.

After finally struggling to climb out of this pit, the carefully selected water cultivation technique actually had the same pitfalls, and it was so ingenious and original.

Meng Zhou's second thought was to flash back to his previous life and remember some similar routines.

If the other party plays like this, it is obvious that they are baiting and fishing.

The "Water Cultivation Technique" placed on the shelves of Duobaolou is the bait, and the most valuable part is all in people's own hands.

Meng Zhou was convinced that if he followed the message and saw the real owner of the message, he would be severely ripped off.

Every practitioner knows the difference in value between practices that can build the foundation and practices that cannot.

"Is this tit for tat?"

Meng Zhou thought that he had just knocked Mr. Mo hard once. Could this be his retribution?

So, do you want to go?

After thinking carefully, and thinking again and again, Meng Zhou finally made a decision in his heart.

“Go, it’s never wrong to check out the situation first.

The Water Nourishing Jue has been stored in Duobao Building for more than ten years. Who knows what the situation has been there after so many years? "

Finally, Meng Zhou made up his mind.

If he turned a blind eye to this, it would be safe this time.

However, the Water Nourishing Technique cannot reach the threshold of foundation building, so this problem still needs to be solved.

Moreover, even if he finds a suitable practice method at that time, he will still face the problem of switching to a new practice method.

The previous master had already demonstrated to him the risks of such behavior with his life. He had the opportunity to complete the defective water nourishing technique, so he should not give up easily.
