The Mortal's Path to Immortality

"At the critical moment, you can use the experience beads to break through the realm of the mind. Six tenths of the experience beads should be enough to break through the third level of the Water Stopping Technique. At that time, you should have a certain degree of self-protection."

The first three levels of the Water Stopping Technique, the first level is equivalent to having an internal force of one level of skill.

The second level is equivalent to three levels of skill.

The third level is equivalent to six or seven levels of skill.

After completing the third level of the Water Stopping Technique, Cao Rui is at least a beginner in internal strength.

Even if there is no martial arts secret book, the six or seven levels of skill to protect the body are definitely not enough to be hurt by ordinary people.

With the capital to participate in this exploration mission.

No words all night.

Early the next morning.

Cao Rui got up and went to Pier 8 on the lake island.

When Cao Rui arrived at the pier, some errand disciples were already waiting here.

The person in charge of leading this exploration mission was Cao Rui's old acquaintance-Yang Ping!

Yang Ping has been promoted to the protector of Luoshui Gang.

Yang Ping is tall and stands out from the crowd on the dock.

His temperament has become more fierce.

Suddenly, Yang Ping's eyes stopped at Cao Rui who had just arrived.

"Huh? Are you also here to participate in this exploration mission?"

Cao Rui didn't expect that Yang Ping still remembered him.

And would take the initiative to talk to him.

Yang Ping's voice was still so rough.

Cao Rui pretended to be terrified and bowed to Yang Ping: "Yes, Protector Yang, I want to seize this opportunity and get in touch with martial arts earlier."

"Well, you are ambitious. You are still young and have the opportunity to enter the martial arts."

"I was impressed by your calmness on that ship. I hope you can also gain something this time."

Yang Ping's thoughts briefly returned to the past. The figure of the child on the ship who was dry and bloody but still calm gradually met the figure of the fair-skinned boy in front of him.

Afterwards, Yang Ping began to close her eyes and rest.

Her gang members began to call the roll.

There were more than 30 children around ten years old gathered on the dock.

Of course, there were also a few thin adults and errand disciples.

When the time came, they boarded the ship at the call of the gang members.

Yang Ping stood alone at the bow with a sword in hand.

The helmsman operated the boat and used the wind to sail quickly towards the destination.

About two hours passed.

The boat stopped at a water area. There was an island reef of more than ten square meters in front of the boat.

The cave was under this island reef.

A gang member began to explain the process of entering the cave.

Cao Rui and others needed to dive about two meters into the water to find the entrance of the cave.

Then they swam a distance into the cave before leaving the bottom of the water.

Then they explored along the cave.

"Remember, any discovery after entering the cave must not be kept privately and must be handed over."

"Otherwise, they will be treated as gang traitors." Yang Ping finally said.

The fate of the Luoshui Gang traitors was to be torn apart by horsemen.

"Okay, let's line up and go down."

"Cao Rui, come here."

Yang Ping waved at Cao Rui.

Cao Rui stepped forward, and saw Yang Ping handed him a close-fitting dagger.

"For self-defense."

Cao Rui was flattered and nodded, "Thank you, Protector Yang!"

Yang Ping touched Cao Rui's head and didn't say much.

Cao Rui also lined up and waited to go into the water.

Plop.

Plop.

There were waves of water entering the water.

The young men jumped into the water and dived towards the cave.

Soon it was Cao Rui's turn. Cao Rui took off his coat and jumped into the water in a single layer of clothes.

The water was still a little cold in the spring, and Cao Rui used his internal strength to drive away the cold.

Cao Rui dived two meters and found the entrance of the cave, where a young man was swimming in.

Cao Rui paddled his arms and followed him into the cave.

This cave is indeed very narrow. If you enter it as an adult, you will probably get stuck immediately.

They swam about seven or eight meters in the narrow cave.

The rock wall above suddenly disappeared, and some light came. Cao Rui and the boy in front of him emerged from the water one after another.

This is a cave space. There are many luminous plants in the cave that emit light, and the sight here is not bad.

The cave is full of fish bones, but it does not smell fishy, ​​but has a faint fragrance.

There are as many as six cave entrances in the cave space leading to all directions.

The boys who came first have already greeted each other and entered the cave entrance to start exploring.

This natural cave in the river does not seem to be dangerous.

After taking a vigilant look at the fish bones on the ground, Cao Rui tightened his grip on the dagger in his hand, rejected his invitation to form a team, and chose to follow a young man into a cave and step into it.

......

On the river.

The Luoshui Gang's ship was moored on the rippling river.

Yang Ping stood at the bow with a sword in his arms, staring quietly at the island below.

In the cabin, an unusually tall and cold-faced old man suddenly stepped out.

He crossed the distance in a few steps and came to Yang Ping's side.

Yang Ping bowed slightly to the old man: "Elder."

This old man was the Luoshui Gang elder who discovered the abnormality of this cave - Wu Qingshu.

"Well, have the menial disciples gone down?" Wu Qingshu said lightly.

Yang Ping nodded: "All of them have gone down."

"Do you know that little guy just now?"

Yang Ping was startled for a moment, then realized that the little guy in Wu Qingshu's mouth was referring to Cao Rui.

Then he said with a relaxed expression: "Well, I went to kill a dealer and saved ten children from him, and he was one of them."

"The third young master of the Zuo family is also one of them, right?" Wu Qingshu asked again.

Yang Ping nodded: "I didn't expect that by mistake, I saved the third son of the Zuo family. The pill sent by the Zuo family also helped increase my skill by 20, and I broke through the realm and was promoted to protector."

"So Aiwujiwu also has a crush on that little guy, right?" Wu Qingshu said.

Yang Ping Weiwei didn't reply, which was regarded as acquiescing to Wu Qingshu's words.

Wu Qingshu also ended this digression and said: "Three days ago, I took a boat to come here and found that there were many big fish gathered here."

"A large group of fish were squeezing toward that cave like crazy, as if there was something fatally attractive inside."

"The process only lasted half a cup of tea, and then the fish suddenly dispersed."

"Such a strange noise, if there is an accident, some treasure should be born underneath."

"If it were those legendary spiritual creatures..." Wu Qingshu's eyes revealed a strong desire.

Yang Ping said in a rough voice: "Elder Wu will definitely gain something from this trip."

Wu Qingshu suppressed the emotions in his heart, and his expression gradually returned to a cold expression: "I hope so."

"I don't have many good things to do. If there are some treasures that can increase my combat power, I'd better leave them to you guys." Wu Qingshu said.

Yang Ping held her hands in an emotional tone and said, "I dare you, I will obey the elders' instructions on everything on this trip."

Wu Qingshu smiled, said nothing, and turned back to the cabin.

"I'll leave this to you."

"I accept your orders." Yang Ping bowed respectfully towards the cabin.
