Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Lin Feihe deeply resented the Jidao Society and had been plotting revenge every day for years.

Although he was lame, his insight and knowledge remained.

Yakuza is a well-known business group that frequently releases various news reports.

Lin Feihe was able to learn about the general activities of the Extreme Path Society every day through newspapers and other media.

Over time, he discovered that the business companies under the Yakuza Society had close ties with the Tenmu Society.

The two sides even formed a joint shipping group, which was very large. Lin Feihe was a seasoned veteran, and he quickly realized that the Tianwu Society and the Jidao Society had long been colluding in secret.

Weapons are not allowed in the life-or-death arena; this is a rule established by the Tianwu Association.

They made it sound so nice back then, saying it was to prevent casualties...

In reality, it was to limit his master's Snake Crane Twelve Styles sword technique. The rapid destruction of their Iron Crane Sect was also fueled by the Heavenly Martial Society.

However, due to his lack of ability, he could only silently endure and wait for an opportunity.

As for Lin Jiayi hanging out with the Sheng Society, there's nothing she can do about it. She has some martial arts skills, but they're not particularly strong. What other path can she take if she doesn't get involved in the underworld?

Today, however, the situation is different. He has discovered Gao Wu, an unparalleled martial arts genius.

Real combat has also proven the power of advanced martial arts!
Time is on their side. Once Gao Wu has refined his essence into a sea of ​​energy, his talent will be enough to wipe out all the Japanese devils of the Extreme Path Society.

As for Huang Shengtian, he is already old and frail. Would he really risk his life for the Japanese devils?

Besides, with Gao Wu's talent, it's not impossible for him to become a Heavenly King.

Lin Feihe is now particularly worried about Gao Wu's impulsiveness. He says that, as Gao Wu has suggested, there's no need to care about the Black Lotus Society or these gang conflicts.

Those who hang out in the underworld are all bad; if they die, they die. Lin Jiayi was lucky to escape, and leaving the gang isn't so bad.

Therefore, he strongly advocated leaving the Deep Water Bay area now and finding a place to hide for a while.

“I own a property in Jiulin Township, which is located in Jiulin Mountain. The environment is quiet and the land is sparsely populated, making it very suitable for living in seclusion and practicing martial arts.”

Lin Feihe said, "The courtyard is big enough; it can accommodate eight or ten people. There are no outsiders there, so it's very safe."

Lin Jiayi had always looked down on Uncle He, feeling that this martial uncle was crippled in both body and mind, so she supported Gao Wu in taking the initiative.

She had originally intended to leverage Gao Wu's influence to establish her own power base, but after this bloody battle, she changed her mind. Gao Wu was too profound and mysterious; yet, when he acted, it was as swift and decisive as thunder.

They acted ruthlessly, leaving no chance of survival.

Such a person is not someone she can control.

She also expressed her agreement with Uncle He's suggestion: "The Black Lotus Society comes from Siam. Wichai and Pasong are very strong. I heard that they have cultivated their essence seas and their bodies are as hard as diamond. They are very powerful."

“We don’t plan to establish a branch of the sect, so there’s no need to fight them head-on. Let Jin Daya handle this trouble.”

Lin Jiayin hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. Jiulin Township was too far from the city, making it very inconvenient for her to go to school.

School room and board are too expensive and not worth it. But she also knew that these were minor issues and not suitable for discussion. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her eyes and kept her mouth shut.

Lin Feihe and Lin Jiayi both looked at Gao Wu, waiting for him to make a decision.

Both of them knew that no matter what they thought or said, ultimately it was Gao Wu's decision to make the decision.

Gao Wu didn't really care. Killing Ruan Ying and Ruan Jie had made his blood and energy surge, and he had already sensed the location of the Jinghai acupoint.

If he wanted to, he could condense his essence sea right now.

While one's internal energy can advance rapidly, the body requires time to grow. With his current strength, killing a martial arts grandmaster wouldn't be too difficult.

It's hard to say what will happen if they face the Heavenly King!
After all, the Heavenly King far exceeds the limits of the human body and is able to fly by controlling true energy. In such a low-level energy world, it is still very difficult to do this.

The key to coming to this world is to find the Taihao Dao Fruit, not to compete and fight with the beings of this world.

If it were simply about becoming the strongest in this world, that would be far too easy.

The original text clearly states that to obtain the Dao Fruit, one must achieve spiritual harmony.

The Dao Fruit could be an object, a living being, a mountain, or the sun, moon, and stars.

Only at the moment of establishing spiritual resonance can he sense the fruit of the Tao.

For him, the most important thing was to have various experiences. Gaining great power was merely to ensure that he could remain unhindered in this world.

With this in mind, Gao Wu agreed with Lin Feihe's proposal: "That's fine too."

Lin Feihe was overjoyed: "I'll make the arrangements right away."

Lin Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "With so many of us, someone has to cook. I'll ask Aunt Lan to cook."

In the afternoon, Lin Feihe found a small truck, loaded it with various household items, took Aunt Lan with him, and drove to the old house in Jiulin Township.

Just as Lin Feihe said, the old house is located on the mountainside. It is very large, with more than a dozen rooms. It is a brick and wood structure and looks quite old.

The room was furnished with rough, old-fashioned wooden furniture and had no decorations. In the main hall, there was an incense table for worshipping Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Outside the old house was a small vegetable garden where some vegetables were grown. Further ahead, there was a small river that meandered down from above the mountain peaks.

Behind the old house is a large forest, mainly consisting of banyan trees, pine trees, willow trees, and various shrubs.

Jiulin Mountain has a gentle slope, with its peak only a few hundred meters high. There is nothing particularly special about it. Its only advantage is that it is covered with lush vegetation, has clear streams, and is free from human presence.

In the height of summer in July, the mountains and forests offered a welcome respite from the heat. However, the mountains remained sweltering even during the day, hardly deserving of the title "tranquil."

There are more than a dozen families living next to the old house, all of whom are elderly people in their fifties or sixties; there is not a single young person living there.

Life in the countryside is dull and boring, and transportation is inconvenient. Even if the rent is cheap, no one would choose to live here.

Fortunately, there is electricity here, and we can still watch TV and listen to the radio through the antenna.

The old house had been uninhabited for a long time. It took several people two days to clean it and buy a lot of daily necessities before they could finally settle in. Aunt Lan was responsible for cooking every day. She was already quite old, but she was very used to the slow pace of life in the countryside.

Lin Jiayin has a gentle personality, and apart from not being used to the dry toilet, she actually found it quite comfortable in other aspects.

Although living inside the building was comfortable, the space was small. Here, the sky was high and the land was wide, and you could see the mountains outside the window. After staying here for two days, her mood improved.

Old Lin drives his beat-up truck every day to buy food and daily necessities. He feels stifled living in the city, but when he returns to his old house, he is full of energy and his whole being is more vibrant.

The main problem is that Gao Wu eats a lot, and with the others, they consume about 20 kilograms of meat, eggs, and other food every day. Fortunately, he has several hundred thousand yuan in savings, and Lin Jiayi also contributes financially, so they can afford to support them for the time being.

Gao Wu didn't care about this at all. The biggest advantage of living here was the open mountain forest, where he could practice martial arts without any worries.

With a suitable environment for martial arts training and a stable energy supply, Gao Wu has made rapid progress in his physical condition these past few days.

Of the group, Lin Jiayi was the most distressed. Having been in the gang for a long time, she was used to being out at night and living a life of luxury and decadence.

Her only pastimes in the old house were watching TV and listening to the radio, which was extremely torturous for her.

Knowing her sensitive identity and the potential for trouble if she went out, she could only stay at home.

With nothing to do each day and no idea what to do, I feel increasingly irritable.

At 3 p.m. on the third day, Gao Wu came out of the room with his sword and saw Lin Jiayi sitting on a wooden chair, holding her sword and staring blankly.

Gao Wu didn't really want to meddle in other people's business, and Lin Jiayi had become quite shrewd in the martial arts world and had a lot on her mind.

Considering that the other party had helped him, he decided to lend Lin Jiayi a hand.

He said, "I'm going to practice my sword, shall we?"

Lin Jiayi was slightly surprised. She had also sensed that Gao Wu was somewhat distant from her, but was closer to her younger sister and Aunt Lan.

Why did Gao Wu actually take the initiative to ask her to practice swordsmanship this time? She still wanted to maintain a good relationship with Gao Wu, so she nodded.

As the heat subsided a bit around 3 p.m., Gao Wu led Lin Jiayi to the riverbank in the woods.

The stream is only a few meters wide, flowing gently through the forest, its clear water no more than a foot deep.

Scattered sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves, falling onto the river surface and illuminating the round pebbles on the riverbed.

Sitting in the woods, listening to the gurgling water, the chirping of insects and birds, and feeling the coolness brought by the river, Gao Wu felt very comfortable and at ease.

He is actually not very old, but he has been busy practicing martial arts and has reached the twelfth level in just a few years, with little time to rest.

Even when I'm resting, I'm always thinking about things.

Upon arriving in this realm, Gao Wu still had things on his mind, but he knew he couldn't rush things. So he gradually relaxed and treated it as a long vacation.

As for fighting and killing, Gao Wu only considered it a diversion in his boring life, and there was no real danger involved.

Lin Jiayi, who was following behind Gao Wu, seemed a little lost. Gao Wu had called her over to practice swordsmanship, but she just stood by the river in a daze, not knowing what he meant.

She was also afraid that there might be some hidden meaning, and that speaking rashly would make her seem foolish.

Gao Wu wasn't trying to test Lin Jiayi; he was just too relaxed and would drift off into a daze whenever he wanted.

After his thoughts had wandered around and returned, he drew his sword and said to Lin Jiayi, "Your cultivation is quite refined, but you are unable to condense your Qi Sea because you haven't mastered the Twelve Forms of the Snake and Crane."

"We've sparred a bit; I hope it's helpful to you."

After several fierce battles, the blade of his Qingfeng sword was full of nicks, but fortunately it did not affect his sword practice.

A good sword is quite expensive to make, but Gao Wu doesn't have any requirements for it now; as long as he has a sword that he can use, that's enough.

Lin Jiayi also inherited her father's true teachings, specializing in the Snake-Crane Twelve Forms. She was also very curious about how Gao Wu Neng differed from her in the same Snake-Crane Twelve Forms.

Upon hearing this, she drew her sword and practiced with Gao Wu.

Facing Gao Wu, Lin Jiayi naturally gave it her all, earnestly demonstrating her understanding of the essence of swordsmanship.

The two used the same moves, striking and sheathing their swords simultaneously.

After practicing a set of sword techniques, Gao Wu said to Lin Jiayi, "You have deeply grasped the essence of Zonghe's power transformation. Flying Crane is also good, Eating Crane and Crying Crane are so-so, and Fixed Crane is very poor. Even worse are the Golden Snake, Spirit Snake, and Poison Snake techniques, which you have not mastered."

With Gao Wu's keen eye, he immediately recognized Lin Jiayi's flaws after watching her demonstrate swordsmanship.

Lin Jiayi was quite unconvinced. She admitted that Gao Wu was very strong and knew that she had shortcomings in her training. But how could she be so much worse in Gao Wu's words!

Gao Wu knew that empty talk was useless, so he drew his sword and sparred with Lin Jiayi. Using the same moves, as soon as their swords clashed, Lin Jiayi knew where she was lacking.

She was quite talented in martial arts, but without a master to guide her, her ability to develop the five internal organs and acupoints was entirely due to the solid foundation she laid during her youth.

With Gao Wu's subtle and continuous sword energy guiding her through her body, she immediately knew where she had practiced incorrectly and where she was not doing it properly.

In just one afternoon, her skill in the Snake and Crane Twelve Forms improved by leaps and bounds.

This is also because she has a solid foundation, and Gao Wu was able to break through that barrier with just a little guidance.

Of course, although the world is vast, only those who have mastered the Iron Crane Sect's martial arts and can refine their true qi can guide Lin Jiayi with their true qi.

By evening, Lin Jiayi had sensed the gathering of true qi in her dantian. She quickly entered a meditative state, using her breathing and mental power to guide the flow of true qi and condense it in her dantian.

Once her Qi Sea stabilized, Lin Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but smile. She had actually advanced to the Martial Arts Master level!
The main reason was that Gao Wu's guidance was too precise, solving all her problems in one fell swoop.

Gao Wu has only practiced the Snake and Crane Twelve Forms for a few days, yet he has already reached a state of divine skill in this technique. He is truly a god-like figure...

As Lin Jiayi was reminiscing, she faintly heard the sound of a car engine outside.

At this moment, she was calm and peaceful, and her true energy was flowing naturally. She was in a very profound state, so she could sense sounds from a great distance.

She was immediately startled. No one would ever enter or leave this small village in the middle of the night. Could it be an enemy?!

A soft knocking sound came from next door, followed by Gao Wu's voice: "Enemies are coming. Watch the house, I'm going to take care of them..." (End of Chapter)
