The Mortal's Path to Immortality

"What nonsense are you talking about? Protector Cao will do well in the future. Don't forget the day when brother 깊 and I, 꽭꽭, will bring you food!"

Chen Fugui left with the carriage driver.

Cao Rui's family stood at the door and watched.

"Come here, bring so many things." The mother felt a little embarrassed looking at the precious fine fabrics and refined meat jerky brought by Chen Fugui.

The eldest brother approached Cao Rui curiously: "Shi Wa, are these the friends you made outside? They look like they have a lot of money."

The eldest brother's attitude towards Cao Rui has changed too much.

Cao Rui often even found a hint of awe in the way his eldest brother looked at him.

These all happened after the family realized that Shiwa was not the same Shiwa, and that Shiwa had become more powerful than they imagined and beyond their comprehension.

Cao Rui was helpless about this.

As Cao Rui's planned life path goes further and further, this feeling of distance from his family will only become deeper and deeper.

Cao Rui nodded: "It's a good friend of mine called Chen Fugui. If you want to live in the city, I can ask him to help."

The eldest brother looked hopeful, then shook his head: "Brother, I'm not as capable as you, Shi Wa, so I'll just be a mountaineer at the foot of the mountain."

...

After Chen Fugui left.

The next morning, Cao Rui did not stay for the full ten-day holiday and returned early.

The house in my hometown is too small, and I have to sleep in the same room with my eldest brother, which is inconvenient even for practicing internal skills and mental methods.

Cao Rui felt guilty after not seeing the experience points increase for a few days.

I don’t have much talent in the first place, and it’s too frustrating to waste time on cultivation.

After Chen Fugui chose not to return to Huxin Island, Cao Rui could no longer restrain his desire to return to the island.

꿵’s mother’s family has been sending Cao Rui to the entrance of 깊 village.

Cao Rui persuaded them to go back after repeated persuasion.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Rui arrived at the dock in Lianhua County.

The water transport ships of the Luoshui Gang spread throughout the Luoshui area.

It is easy to find a boat returning to the island in the middle of the lake at the pier.

This is a small cargo ship with one owner and two helmsmen. The ship is not full of cargo.

After the ship owner checked Cao Rui's note, he let him ship.

Cao Rui found an empty seat on the boat, sat down and began to rest.

At about dusk, you can reach the island in the middle of the lake.

Not long after waiting, after a box of goods was moved into the cabin, the small cargo ship started to move.

The cargo ship moved along the Luoshui River without any obstruction.

For lunch, we had simple fish soup on the boat.

After that, we successfully arrived at the island in the middle of the lake.

After finding his supervisor to report, and then returning to his cabin in the farmland, Cao Rui's trip back home came to a successful conclusion.

In the evening, the handyman who came to deliver food was a skinny young man named 늅깊.

Cao Rui was not used to seeing Chen Fugui's familiar round face.

You can only focus all your attention on cultivation.

With the arrival of the spring season, the busy farming season is about to begin again.

"The experience beads for practicing the Shui Shui Jue can fill up to one-tenth in about a month."

"I still have seven months to store experience points."

"However, practicing secretly is not an option. We still have to find a way to practice internal skills and mental methods openly within the Luoshui Gang."

"The follow-up technique of the Shui Shui Jue is a problem."

Cao Rui thought of Yang Ping who had rescued him.

It is said that Yang Ping has become the protector of Dharma Protector Hall, with a resounding nickname of Mother Night, and her status is very high among the younger generation.

But if you rush to ask for help, people may not pay attention to Cao Rui.

Shaking his head, Cao Rui decided to let nature take its course until the experience beads are full.

In this way, another three months have passed.

The spring plowing in the farmland has been completed.

The amount of experience pearls in Cao Rui's mind reached 깊10%.

In addition, after spending more than half a year without relying on experience beads, Cao Rui finally mastered the first level of Zhishui Jue.

At this time, inside Cao Rui's body.

That sense of energy has been transformed into a trace of internal power.

놇Cao Rui's body is constantly running according to the first level of the Shui Shui Jue.

The changes brought about by the internal force are that Cao Rui's senses are sharper, his energy is more energetic, and the strength of his hands doubled due to the internal force.

It's just that Cao Rui didn't practice martial arts secrets, so he couldn't exert the full power of his internal power.

But finally, Cao Rui, who has cultivated his inner strength, has officially entered the martial arts journey.

Not long after the busy season of spring plowing ended.

Cao Rui is practicing in a wooden house.

Suddenly I felt unfamiliar footsteps outside the door.

Cao Rui immediately stopped practicing.

After all, the origin of the internal skills and mental methods is unknown, and the matter is small and big when it is investigated.

After a while, there was a knock on the door: "Is this home?"

Cao Rui stood up and opened the door, rubbed his eyes and looked at the gangster in front of him: "Brother, what's the matter?"

"Dabai's 껩 is sleeping in!"

"Are you Cao Rui, the handyman disciple?" The gang members frowned.

Cao Rui nodded: "I am, senior brother, what can I do?"

"I'm here to inform you of something."

"Our gang found a cave under a water body and helped the elder analyze whether there could be treasures inside."

"But the passage of the cave is very small and can only accommodate children under ten years old."

"So the gang now gathers handyman disciples under the age of ten and of suitable size to enter the cave to explore."

"Whether or not there is any discovery during this trip, the gang will reward the participants with a copy of the inner strength method and a martial arts secret book."

"If there is a special discovery, there will be additional rewards, such as top-grade elixirs to help with inner strength training, and it is not impossible to be accepted as a personal disciple."

After listening to what this gang member said, Cao Rui thought in his heart that this is a good opportunity.

I just don't know how dangerous the cave is?

I couldn't help but ask: "Brother, has there been an accident in the cave?"

The gang member said impatiently: "No accident has ever happened, but the entrance to the cave is too small, otherwise it would not be your turn to explore?"

Cao Rui nodded, the gang member's tone did not seem false, but he, an ordinary gang member, could not know more inside information.

However, Cao Rui felt that he should give it a try.

"How to sign up?"

"If you want to participate, just go to Pier 8 to gather at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." The gang member said, and turned to leave.

He still had to notify more errand disciples.

Watching the gang members leave, Cao Rui had made up his mind to participate in this exploration mission.

Although Cao Rui successfully cultivated internal strength with the help of experience beads.

But Cao Rui still lacked a lot of things, such as the channel to practice the "Stop Water Art".

The subsequent mental content of the Stop Water Art and the corresponding martial arts secrets all require Cao Rui to fight hard to obtain.

"If you just play a soy sauce, you shouldn't encounter too much danger."
