The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 18 Another Year, My Elder Brother Got Married

"You did a good job." Cao Rui praised.

Tang Yueming scratched his head: "Master, I still don't understand some things about the Crazy Wolf Sword Technique recently..."

"Please show me how to do it."

"Okay!"

Half an hour later, Tang Yueming was satisfied and left the backyard of Youquan Restaurant with a smile on his face.

It's really comfortable to have a master with a high level of martial arts to teach you carefully!

......

Cao Rui's cultivation life has changed again.

Every day, he will take some time to read ancient books carefully.

This is indeed useful for improving the experience value of Mingyu Gong.

The speed of experience value improvement is at least twice as fast.

Cao Rui is also more convinced that he really has no talent for cultivation.

Because during a strong perception, Cao Rui even vaguely felt a certain special energy around him. If nothing unexpected happened, it was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth recorded in Mingyu Gong.

However, the special energy gathered because of the strong perception suddenly dissipated quickly after approaching his body.

Is it because I don't have the talent for cultivating immortals, so I can't retain the spiritual energy?

Cao Rui was slightly bitter. If he had the talent for cultivating immortals, he would have successfully entered the door with the enlightenment at this moment.

It seems that I can only wait until the experience beads have accumulated enough experience points for entry, and then force the entry with the experience beads and embark on the immortal path.

Immersed in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.

The New Year is coming.

Cao Rui and Xiong Fangming notified.

Leave Heishui Town for the time being and head towards Lianhua County.

It's another year since I last saw my family. It's time to go back and see them.

This time, Cao Rui brought Tang Yueming, his confidant.

Tang Yueming's parents died early, and he was unmarried. He was alone, and it would be the same no matter where he spent the New Year.

Naturally, he was willing to go out with Cao Rui for a "travel".

Heishui Town is located in the middle of Lianhua County and Luocheng. They set off along the waterway in the morning and arrived in Lianhua County at noon.

Then the two walked to Shijia Village.

"Master Xiang, I didn't expect your hometown to be so remote!" Tang Yueming said with some emotion on the way.

He admired Cao Rui even more in his heart.

After arriving at Shijia Village, Cao Rui found that he seemed to have come at the right time.

The village was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

Especially his own house, which was not only built wider, but also covered with wedding characters inside and outside the house.

It must be that his eldest brother is getting married.

Someone in the village saw Cao Rui and recognized his identity: "Old Shi! Your Shiwa is back!"

The whole family rushed out of the house.

Among them was a round-faced bride in red, in her prime, looking quite gentle.

But Cao Rui's appearance and figure have changed too much now, and the black and strong man following him is even more fierce.

The whole family, including his parents, did not approach Cao Rui at the first time.

"Brother, sister-in-law, congratulations."

"Dad and mother, I'm back." Cao Rui took the initiative to step forward and hugged his eldest brother in the groom's uniform.

"I'm glad you're back. How many days will you stay this time?" Mother looked up at Cao Rui, who had grown up like an adult, and her eyes were slightly moist.

"I won't stay at home this time. I've booked a room in the county town." Cao Rui said with a smile.

"How can you live outside? There's a room for you in the newly built house!" Father tried to persuade him to stay.

Cao Rui pointed at Tang Yueming: "I have a friend here. I can't share a bed with him, can I?"

Tang Yueming said: "Master Xiang, I'm fine!"

Under Cao Rui's murderous gaze, Tang Yueming shrank his neck: "Ahem, Master Xiang, let's stay in the restaurant!"

"Don't stand here on a big day. Take care of your brother and sister-in-law first." Cao Rui said.

Hearing this, his father also smiled: "Shiwa, you came back at the right time. Today is the big day of your brother's wedding."

"You didn't leave any contact information. I couldn't notify you even if I wanted to."

"Fortunately, I caught up..."

The wedding in the village is very simple.

The villagers were invited to dinner, and then firecrackers were set off to add to the atmosphere.

My sister-in-law's family also came in the evening.

A large group of people, about twenty or so.

There were my sister-in-law's uncles, as well as my sister-in-law's brothers and sisters.

They came from another mountain village near Lianhua County.

Originally, the Shi family looked down on the family.

But after seeing Cao Rui, the brother-in-law who looked extraordinary, the people from my sister-in-law's family no longer had a stern face, and frequently came to toast Cao Rui.

On the day of my eldest brother's big wedding, Cao Rui also accepted everyone who came.

With profound internal skills, Cao Rui got all of my sister-in-law's family members drunk and fell to the ground, but he still remained calm, shocking the onlookers.

It was dark.

Cao Rui looked at his eldest brother who had fallen to the ground drunk and his sister-in-law who was standing by his side with a concerned look, and smiled slightly.

My eldest brother should be happy in the second half of his life.

Then, Cao Rui found his father and took out ten taels of silver and gave it to his father.

"I may not have time to come back in the next two years, you two take care of yourselves."

The father held the silver, not knowing what to say. It was obvious that Shiwa's life was no longer something that a small mountain dweller like him could guide.

"Take care of yourself, this will always be your home. Even if I die, your eldest brother will keep the house for you." The father could only say this.

Cao Rui was slightly moved, bid farewell to his parents, and rushed to Lianhua County with Tang Yueming overnight, staying in an inn with a good environment.

"Master, will we go back tomorrow?" In the double room, Tang Yueming noticed that Cao Rui was a little melancholy, and took the initiative to ask.

"I will visit a friend tomorrow, and then go back." Cao Rui thought of Chen Fugui's fat face.

I don't know if this guy has successfully inherited the family business after a year?

When he was on the lake island, Chen Fugui's super double food box helped Cao Rui a lot.

It was the best time for physical development, and it was also during that period of time that the physical exercise with good nutrition made Chen Fugui's martial arts talent better.

......

In the Chen family's house in Lianhua County.

The father and son of the Chen family were distressed with each other and silent in the study.

"Dad, the Wild Dog Gang has gone too far this time. They actually asked for a tribute of three hundred taels!"

"Our restaurant's net profit for a year is only this much."

"Are they trying to put us in a dead end?" Chen Fugui was furious.

Chen's father sighed slightly. Who made the Wild Dog Gang so powerful in Lianhua County recently?

Lianhua County originally had three gangs.

But a few months ago, the Wild Dog Gang and the Blood Knife Gang joined forces and directly destroyed another gang in the county.

Previously, the restaurant where Chen's father worked paid protection fees to the destroyed gang.

Now the restaurant's territory has been taken over by the Wild Dog Gang.

The Wild Dog Gang squeezed the "customers" of the previous gang to death.

The intention is obvious, to force them away and let their own people take over the business.
