The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Heishui Town.

Luocheng is a small town with a population of about 8,000.

Cao Rui stepped into this town and decided to live in this town for a while.

Luoshui Gang can't go back for the time being.

The inner strength realm that has been broken through with the experience beads and the secrets of the immortal cultivation method in the cave cannot be explained clearly.

Once it is not explained clearly, with Cao Rui's current strength, he can't get rid of Luoshui Gang.

Cao Rui, who has left the fishing boat, is dressed in cloth and has no money except a dagger.

The smell of food from the roadside restaurant in Heishui Town makes Cao Rui's stomach growl.

After eating fish meat in the cave for half a month, his mouth is almost out of the taste of birds.

"I have to find a job to support myself first."

Cao Rui walked around the town and finally chose to go back to his old job - joining the gang.

Because of the existence of martial arts, the gangs in the secular world are very powerful.

This is the fastest way to make money and the fastest way to integrate into this town.

Cao Rui's footsteps stopped in front of the headquarters of the local snake in Heishui Town, the Whale Gang.

It can't be compared with the Luoshui Gang. This is just a low-ranking gang born in a small town.

Even the headquarters is set up in the town-because there are no resources to establish a territory outside the town.

"Kid, what are you doing?" The gang members in front of the headquarters looked at Cao Rui approaching and frowned and shouted.

"Come and join the Whale Gang."

Cao Rui held the dagger, used his internal energy, and inserted the dagger into the granite on the ground in one go.

This scene surprised the two gang members who were guarding the door.

"You wait." A gang member quickly entered the headquarters.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a mustache rushed out.

He looked at the deep marks on the granite ground where the dagger had pierced, and said with a bow, "Young man, please follow me."

Cao Rui followed the steps of the middle-aged man with a mustache.

"I am Yan Zhen, the internal affairs manager of the Whale Gang. What is your name?"

Cao Rui bowed his hands and said, "Just call me Cao Rui."

"You seem to be young, but you have deep skills?" Yan Zhen asked tentatively.

"It's only about seven or eight years of skills." Cao Rui told the truth.

"At this age, young man Cao has seven or eight years of skills, which is really rare. The Whale Gang welcomes young man Cao to join!" Yan Zhen was tactful and did not ask about Cao Rui's background.

This kind of person can join the Whale Gang, which is a great benefit to the Whale Gang.

Under the leadership of Yan Zhen, Cao Rui met the leader of the Whale Gang, Ma Xuan, a middle-aged man in his teens with a refined face and half-haired hair.

Ma Xuan looked very refined, but Cao Rui did not underestimate him.

It was Ma Xuan who led the Whale Gang to eliminate other gang forces in Heishui Town, making the Whale Gang the only one in Heishui Town and began to develop outward.

In addition, there were two deputy gang leaders, both of whom were on missions outside.

As a small gang with a history of less than 20 years, the Whale Gang has a very simple structure, with one gang leader, two deputy gang leaders, and then the internal affairs manager Yan Zhen.

In the past, there were more than ten incense masters and ordinary gang members, and peripheral gang members.

With reference to Cao Rui's strength and potential, Ma Xuan directly gave Cao Rui the position of incense master.

The monthly salary was two taels, and he was temporarily responsible for the gang's livelihood in a street in Heishui Town.

Cao Rui took the opportunity to ask Ma Xuan for a martial arts secret book.

Ma Xuan did not refuse. A small gang like the Whale Gang did not have any scripture collection hall, so he took out three secret books from under the table.

[Mad Wolf Sword Technique] [Smoke and Rain Sword Technique] [Smoke and Cloud Tengmo Technique].

One sword technique, one sword technique, and one light footwork technique.

"These three martial arts secret books are the Whale Gang's gift to you, Master Cao Xiang."

Cao Rui was not polite and took the three secret books into his pocket.

"There is another thing I need to trouble you, Master." Cao Rui said.

"Master Cao Xiang, just tell me." Ma Xuan clasped his fists and held his mouth.

"The inner strength method that you practiced is called the Water Stopping Technique, but you lost your subsequent skills. I hope Master Cao Xiang can help you find it." Cao Rui made his request.

After hearing this, Ma Xuan nodded without thinking too much and said, "Don't worry, Master Cao, I will find the follow-up skills of the Water-stopping Technique as soon as possible and give them to you."

"Yan Zhen, arrange for someone to welcome Master Cao and call all his subordinates together, so that Master Cao will not make a fool of himself when he appoints his subordinates in the future." Ma Xuan instructed again.

Yan Zhen nodded in response.

In this way, Cao Rui successfully joined the Whale Gang.

At noon, in a restaurant in Heishui Town, Cao Rui and Yan Zhen sat in the main seat.

Sitting with them were seven or eight gang members assigned to Cao Rui.

In this world, martial arts are respected. Although Cao Rui looks young, his seven or eight years of internal skills cannot be faked. In addition, Cao Rui showed maturity at the dinner table. All the gang members had only respect for Cao Rui and dared not underestimate him.

After dinner, Yan Zhen took Cao Rui to live in the courtyard arranged for him, which was located in the block Cao Rui was in charge of.

After seeing Yan Zhen off, Cao Rui closed the gate of the courtyard and circulated his internal energy. White mist of alcohol came out from his back, and the alcohol in his body was quickly expelled.

This body was the first time to drink alcohol, and it was still young, so it was a little uncomfortable. It felt better after using internal energy to expel the alcohol.

Cao Rui carefully checked the inside and outside of the courtyard. After finding no abnormalities, he walked into the bedroom and found a cushion to sit cross-legged.

"Let's settle down in Heishui Town for the time being and try to see how long it takes to enter the first level of Mingyu Gong."

Cao Rui entered a state of meditation according to the practice of Mingyu Gong.

A new black bead different from the "Shushui Jue" immediately appeared in his mind.

Now Cao Rui has understood another feature of the experience bead: one experience bead corresponds to one practice!

The experience bead of Shushui Jue is only used to improve Shushui Jue.

The experience bead of Mingyu Gong is only used to improve Mingyu Gong.

Cao Rui also found that his talent for cultivating immortals is worse than his talent for martial arts, and it is even possible that Cao Rui has no talent for cultivating immortals at all!

The experience bead representing Mingyu Gong has been practiced for half a month, and the purple experience value inside is still difficult to detect with the naked eye.

"Is it true that you don't have any talent for cultivating immortals, and you only rely on experience beads to force cultivation bit by bit?"

Even if you really don't have the talent for cultivating immortals, Cao Rui will not give up cultivating immortals under the temptation of longevity.

At most, you can rely on experience beads to accumulate experience points and grind away the realm bit by bit.

"It seems that it will take several years to get started with Mingyu Gong."

"In order to protect myself, I still need to take time out every day to practice Zhishui Jue and the newly acquired martial arts secrets."

Cao Rui called up the experience beads of Zhishui Jue.

After two consecutive breakthroughs in the cave, there were still four tenths of the experience beads left.

After the Zhishui Jue entered the third level, Cao Rui's internal force can now operate on its own even without practicing.

This is equivalent to the experience value of the experience beads accumulating every moment.

As long as he finds the follow-up exercises, Cao Rui will soon break through the current realm of Zhishui Jue.
