The Mortal's Path to Immortality

Chapter 17 Cut Off One of His Arms and Read Ancient Books

Third cousin?

After being stunned, there was a strong anger.

After awakening his memory, Cao Rui only encountered two crises.

Once he was abducted by human traffickers. Cao Rui, who was very young, was on a pirate ship and could face life and death at any time.

The second time was to go down to the cave on his own initiative to seek a change in his life path. Who would have thought that there were monsters left by immortal cultivators in the cave, but later he found Mingyu Gong, which was worth the risk.

The first crisis was entirely due to this third cousin, which could have been completely avoided.

Even if they were relatives with blood ties, such a great hatred could not be easily let go.

Cao Rui used the great smoke and cloud movement method, and his figure appeared in front of his third cousin in a flash.

Cao Rui used his internal strength and pinched his third cousin's neck with one hand and lifted him up.

The third cousin didn't understand what was going on, and his body was struggling hard.

When he saw Cao Rui's facial features clearly, he suddenly stopped struggling and looked at Cao Rui with a look of begging for mercy and forgiveness.

Cao Rui has changed a lot in these years. He has become taller and his skin has become more delicate, but his facial features have not changed much.

Therefore, the third cousin recognized Cao Rui's identity at a glance.

"What are you doing? Let my friend go!" The young man with a scholarly temperament next to him stammered.

Cao Rui glanced at him. It seemed that this guy was probably the prodigal scholar Liu Wenshu.

Is he a friend of the third cousin?

Could it be that this guy was led astray by the third cousin and embarked on the road of gambling?

Cao Rui shook his head. The scum of the third cousin really hurt people.

"You old beast, I didn't expect you to come to Heishui Town. I thought you had died in a corner long ago." Cao Rui ignored Liu Wenshu and looked at the third cousin and spoke quietly.

The third cousin was choked and couldn't speak. He turned pale because he couldn't breathe. It seemed that Cao Rui was about to strangle him to death.

Cao Rui loosened his hand slightly, and the third cousin collapsed on the ground like a loach.

"Ahem, Shiwa, thank you for forgiving your uncle." The third cousin almost couldn't catch his breath, but he still apologized immediately.

The third cousin was surprised. How could Shiwa become so powerful?

Could it be that after being sold to Heishui Town, what happened?

The third cousin thought that Cao Rui was sold to Heishui Town.

Little did he know that Cao Rui came all the way from Luocheng.

"Who said I would let you go?" Cao Rui frowned slightly.

"Which hand does he usually use to hold the sieve?" Cao Rui looked at Liu Wenshu.

Liu Wenshu was stunned and subconsciously said: "Right hand?"

Gently pulled out the Youquan sword, slid a little, and the third cousin's right arm was broken at the shoulder.

"It's revenge, but also to save you, third cousin, don't gamble anymore."

Cao Rui sheathed his sword, which was indeed a fine iron long sword that cost a lot of money to make.

After beheading someone, there was no trace of blood on the sword.

"Ah!" Because the sword was too sharp, Cao Rui's sword was too fast, and he paused for a few seconds before the third cousin felt the piercing pain.

Liu Wenshu on the side had already been scared silly.

Cao Rui threw a piece of silver to Liu Wenshu.

"Go to your house to pick a few books, is that okay?"

Cao Rui jumped up and easily climbed over the three or four meter high wall and entered.

Liu Wenshu was about to refuse, but when he saw the heavy silver in his hand, he said cheerfully: No problem, no problem......

"Save me! Save me! Don't forget that I taught you gambling!" The third cousin grabbed Liu Wenshu with his remaining left hand.

"Looking at your current state, it will cost a lot of money to save you? Get out of here! Don't get in my way!" Liu Wenshu kicked his third cousin away and happily rushed to the gambling house with the silver.

Only the third cousin was left struggling in the alley.

Cao Rui no longer cared about the situation outside.

He did not kill the third cousin directly, but only cut off one of his arms, considering that he was related by blood.

Entering the Liu family's house, Cao Rui quickly found the Liu family's study.

There were indeed many books in the Liu family's study.

Cao Rui searched through them one by one.

He found that most of them were textbooks used to take the imperial examinations.

There were also ancient books, but very few.

After finally finding three decent ancient books, Cao Rui had already taken a general look at the entire study.

"So I have collected four books. Let's try it first to see if this way is feasible and whether it can increase experience points."

Holding the three books, Cao Rui left the Liu family.

In the alley, the figure of the third cousin had disappeared, and only a broken arm remained in the alley.

The wild dogs nearby came to smell the blood and surrounded the broken arm to eat.

Frowning, Cao Rui left the place with a cold heart.

Cao Rui did not return to his own courtyard.

Instead, he returned to the backyard of Youquan Restaurant, where it was convenient to eat and live, and it almost became Cao Rui's second home.

Cao Rui sat upright at the long table, took out a few books, and read in a comfortable posture.

Not to mention whether it can increase the experience value of Mingyu Gong.

These ancient books themselves have increased Cao Rui's knowledge.

[Yunzhou can also be called Yundao. In ancient times, there were thirteen states in the world, and Yunzhou was just one of them. ]

[Yunzhou is separated from the outside world by a hundred thousand seas, and monsters and beasts are rampant in the sea. It is extremely difficult for mortals to cross the sea. ]

"Yundao? This huge continent with more than a dozen countries is just an island?"

"Could it be that the world of cultivation is hidden outside the island?"

"One hundred thousand seas... an ocean of this distance, without a certain strength, you must not forcefully cross the sea."

Cao Rui continued to immerse himself in reading ancient books.

Mountains and rivers are the bones of heaven and earth.

The cliffs are thousands of feet high, rugged and steep, and they have survived wind and rain and have not been defeated over the years.

Seeing their tenacity, I think life should be like this too. When in adversity, we should have a resolute will, move forward courageously, and be fearless.

......

Looking far from a high place, I see that the earth is vast and boundless, and all things grow in accordance with the way of heaven and earth.

Mountains, rivers, grasses, insects, fish, birds and beasts, each have their own place, and coexist and prosper together.

I think life should also conform to nature and live in harmony with heaven and earth, so as to obtain a long-term way.

......

This article vaguely made Cao Rui feel something in his heart.

Cao Rui felt something in his heart and began to practice the entry method of Mingyu Gong.

Intends to successfully attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body.

As expected, Cao Rui, who had no talent for cultivating immortals, still did not make it to this step.

But when Cao Rui's eyes fell on the experience beads, a slight joy appeared on his face.

"The experience value has obviously increased a lot more than usual."

"It seems that my idea is correct."

"In the future, I may have to keep company with ancient books and articles."

Cao Rui laughed at himself in his heart. He did not expect that in order to cultivate immortals, he would turn himself into a scholar.

Bang.

The courtyard door was opened.

Tang Yueming walked in carrying a large box.

"Master, I have searched all over the town. I have collected all the ancient books on the principles of heaven and earth that you want."

Cao Rui stood up, opened the box and took a quick look at the contents of the books in the box, and was quite surprised.

This black-faced man was quite thoughtful, and the books he found were really what he wanted.
