I can gather experience beads

Although there were casualties.

But overall it was a big win.

This was also the first time that Cao Rui showed his true strength in front of his gang members.

With superb sword skills and profound internal strength, he defeated a second-rate warrior within ten moves.

The image of Cao Rui as a genius master is deeply rooted in the hearts of the gang members present.

Treat the wounds of the injured.

The dead body was covered with a cloth.

Cao Rui said: "Clean up the scene properly."

"These pirates have been on the run for many times since the New Year, so they must have hidden a lot of good stuff on the island."

Upon hearing the news, the gang members excitedly rushed to the island, including those who were injured.

Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang both tacitly agreed that the small items collected would belong to the gang members themselves.

It's a little extra money for the gang members.

Xiong Mingfang also led people into the island to search.

Cao Rui looked at the wooden house on the island.

He turned around, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, walked to the shore, and stepped onto the pirate ship that had not yet boarded.

The pirates' ships were not big, so in order to better carry out the looting, they also took the fast ship route.

The pirates naturally had no idea of ​​hygiene and the boat was stinking.

Cao Rui frowned and came to the only cabin on the ship.

The cabin is still locked.

It should be the pirate leader's private place.

There might be some good stuff in there.

Cao Rui drew out the Youquan Sword and cut the padlock in half with one strike.

The smell in the cabin was not good either.

Cao Rui used the Youquan Sword to provoke various locations in the cabin.

A wooden box was actually turned out from under the bottom of the cabin.

Cao Rui reached out and took out the wooden box. With a little force, the small lock on the wooden box was unlocked.

After opening the box, Cao Rui saw the items inside.

A book of internal energy: Canglan Jue.

A martial arts secret book: Bloody Sword Technique.

In addition, there is a jade plate that feels slightly cool to the touch.

There is a beast character engraved on the front of the jade plaque.

Cao Rui had a hunch that the origin of this jade token must be extraordinary.

Because after holding it in his hand, Cao Rui clearly felt that his thoughts became calm.

Keep these three items close to you.

Cao Rui got off the boat calmly.

Naturally, Cao Rui was not prepared to share these three things with his gang members.

The small island in the reed marsh is only about a thousand square meters.

There are only crude tents on the island.

The search on the island was soon over.

The gang members seized a lot of other supplies that the pirates had looted.

After loading the supplies onto the boat at the shore.

Five speedboats, a supply ship, and the pirates' ships.

A total of seven ships started their return voyage.

The gang members all looked good, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot from the search on the island.

The wind was favorable on the way back, and it took about an hour.

In the afternoon.

The team returned to Blackwater Town.

The materials that were snatched back and sent to Ningyuan County were checked and then handed over to several gang members for emergency transportation on the spot.

As for the large items seized from the pirates, especially some of the looted items, Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang tacitly handled them privately...

......

In the evening, Youquan Restaurant, third floor.

Xiong Mingfang and Cao Rui sat alone in a room, while the gang members who participated in the operation were eating and drinking in another room.

Xiong Mingfang took out a silver note worth three hundred taels and handed it to Cao Rui.

"It's all taken care of, a total of more than 500 taels. This time, thanks to you, you take 300 taels."

"I'll also shamelessly take a part of it. Three of my men died, so I have to give them some compensation." Xiong Mingfang said.

Cao Rui nodded slightly, indicating that he had no objection to the distribution result, and reached out to take the silver note.

Cao Rui asked Xiong Mingfang to deal with the seized pirates' supplies.

Although Xiong Mingfang had previously relied on his seniority to bully others.

But the connections in Blackwater Town are still very strong.

After the news was released, all the goods were sold out in just one afternoon.

The pirates' ship was sold for a lot of silver, plus the rest of the supplies, so Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang made a big profit this time.

With three hundred taels of silver, Cao Rui was thinking about purchasing some elixirs.

Upgrade the Water-Stopping Technique to the sixth level ahead of time.

That night.

Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang were drunk.

Xiong Mingfang wanted to become sworn brothers with Cao Rui on the spot.

Cao Rui couldn't refuse, so he had Xiong Mingfang as his cheap brother.

Speaking of which, Xiong Fangming is in his forties, and Cao Rui is only thirteen years old this year.

These are brothers with different surnames, with a big age gap...

Of course, no one in the Giant Whale Gang knew Cao Rui’s real age.

It is generally believed that Cao Rui was around seventeen or eighteen years old.

Even so, Cao Rui's performance was terrifying.

A top-tier second-rate warrior of seventeen or eighteen years old, only the big sects can have such outstanding disciples.

Come out of the restaurant.

Cao Rui returned home under the escort of Tang Yueming and his group.

After returning to his bedroom, Cao Rui lit a candle and took out the three items he had just obtained from the cabin and examined them carefully.

"The difficulty of practicing the Blood Evil Sword Technique is about the same as the Misty Rain Sword Technique, and the power of the two should be similar. The Misty Rain Sword Technique is enough for now, so there is no need to practice another sword technique."

"Cang Lan Jue, this mental method actually has nine levels, two more than Zhi Shui Jue, which means that Cang Lan Jue is of a higher level than Zhi Shui Jue."

"I should switch to practicing Canglan Jue so that I can make further progress in my internal strength."

"It's just that the change in cultivation method has caused a great loss of internal strength, resulting in a decrease in combat power. Currently, the Giant Whale Gang is still fighting a big battle, and we need combat power to protect ourselves."

"We need to find a safe time to switch to repairs and use the experience beads to quickly make up for the loss."

"Finally, this jade pendant with the word 'beast' on it..."

Cao Rui picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.

"What kind of heavenly and earthly treasure is this thing?"

Suddenly, Cao Rui had an idea.

"It looks like something..."

"Could it be that this thing is related to cultivating immortals?"

Cao Rui was experiencing the feeling brought by the jade pendant, and a blessing came to his heart. He closed his eyes and began to practice Mingyu Gong.

After a while.

Cao Rui opened his eyes, full of surprise.

"Practicing with the jade pendant, the speed at which Mingyu Gong's experience points increase has at least doubled!"

"This thing is really a treasure related to cultivation!"

Just now, Cao Rui was practicing Mingyu Gong with the jade pendant in his hand.

The first level of Mingyu Gong is to draw the spirit into the body.

Cao Rui clearly felt that the spiritual energy around him, which was originally vague and difficult to sense, became clearer.

In this way, the speed of cultivation increases.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the experience value of Mingyu Gong in the mind increases twice as fast!

"In this way, the time required to complete the first level of Mingyu Gong can be reduced by half!"

"Perhaps within this year, or at the latest next year, I will be able to cultivate the first level of Mingyu Gong!"

"This group of pirates from the Moon Country are really my lucky stars!"

Cao Rui carefully put the jade pendant on the rope and wore it close to his body.

This item is so important, you can't lose it.

At night, Cao Rui felt the coolness of the jade pendant on his chest and was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Most of the night was spent practicing Mingyu Gong.

Although this method of cultivating immortals has not yet been formally mastered, it has already demonstrated the magic of cultivating immortals.

After the spiritual energy entered his body, Cao Rui not only did not feel tired from practicing, but he was full of energy every day and only needed to take a nap for a few hours to satisfy his sleep needs.
