Chapter 8 Cave Mission

"What nonsense are you talking about? When Protector Cao gets married in the future, don't forget brother, I will bring you food every day!"

Chen Fugui left with the carriage driver.

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

"Come here, bring so many things." Mother felt a little embarrassed looking at the precious fine fabrics and refined preserved meat that Chen Fugui brought.

The eldest brother approached Cao Rui curiously: "Shi Wa, are these the friends you made outside? They look like they are very rich."

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 members realized that Shiwa was no longer the same Shiwa, and that Shiwa had become more powerful than they imagined and beyond their comprehension.

There was nothing Cao Rui could do about this.

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

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

The eldest brother looked hopeful, then shook his head: "Brother is not as capable as you, Shi Wa, so I'd better stay at the foot of the mountain and be a mountaineer."

...

After Chen Fugui left.

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

The house in my hometown is too small, and I have to sleep in the same room as my eldest brother, which is not convenient even for practicing internal skills and mental methods.

Cao Rui felt guilty after not seeing any experience beads increase in experience value for a few days.

His natural talent is not good, and he has wasted his training time, which is too frustrating.

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

His parents and family sent Cao Rui to the entrance of the village.

Cao Rui persuaded them to go back after repeated persuasion.

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

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

It was easy to find a boat going back to the island in the middle of the lake on the pier.

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

After checking Cao Rui's note, the captain let him on board.

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

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

It didn't take long. After a box of goods was loaded into the cabin, the small cargo ship started to move.

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

We had a simple fish soup for lunch 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 replaced by a thin boy.

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

I can only focus all my 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 bank experience points."

"But practicing secretly is not an option. We still have to find a way to practice inner strength and mental skills openly within the Luoshui Gang."

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

Cao Rui thought of Yang Ping who had rescued him.

It is said that Yang Ping has become the protector of the Dharma Protector Hall. She has a resounding nickname of dominatrix, 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 were 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 six tenths.

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.

In Cao Rui's body, it is constantly running according to the first level of the Zhishui Jue.

The changes brought about by the internal force are that Cao Rui's senses are sharper, his energy is more alert, and his luck doubles the strength of his hands under the internal force.

It's just that Cao Rui doesn't have the secrets to practice martial arts, so he can't exert the full power of his inner strength.

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

It was just a few days after the busy spring plowing period ended.

Cao Rui is practicing in the 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 may be small or large when investigated.

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

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

"You can even sleep in during the day!"

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

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

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

"Our gang discovered a cave under a body of water. The elders of the gang analyzed that there may be treasures inside."

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

"So the gang is now gathering handyman disciples around ten years old and of suitable size to go into the cave to explore."

"Whether there is any discovery or not, 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. It is not impossible to be rewarded with top-grade elixirs to help with inner strength training and be accepted as a personal disciple."

After listening to what the gang member said, Cao Rui thought to himself that this was a good opportunity.

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

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

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

Cao Rui nodded. The gang member's tone did not sound fake, 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 away.

He still had to notify more miscellaneous disciples.

After watching the gang members leave, Cao Rui has made up his mind to participate in this exploration mission.

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

But Cao Rui still lacks 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 come to play soy sauce, you shouldn't encounter too much danger."
