I can gather experience beads

The soil on the edge of the field was very soft, so Cao Rui simply ran barefoot.

The soft mud rubs against the soles of the feet, which has the added effect of massaging the acupuncture points on the feet.

Then comes the usual exercises like push-ups, squats, and pull-ups.

Perhaps the environment of this martial arts world is different from that of the previous life, and there is a special energy in the air.

Cao Rui could feel that his training progress was improving rapidly.

Muscle soreness disappears quickly.

I can clearly feel that my body is getting stronger every day.

I've been exercising too much, so the food sent from the canteen in the Internal Affairs Hall is not enough.

At this time, this kid Chen Fugui came into play.

I don't know what tricks this kid used to exchange his original assignment to the blacksmith shop with that of a kitchen errand boy.

Chen Fugui now works as a handyman in the canteen of the Internal Affairs Hall, responsible for delivering meals to various places during meal times.

It just so happened that Cao Rui's side was the meal delivery area that Chen Fugui was responsible for.

This kid would come here every day with a cart and put down food boxes in every small wooden house in the farmland.

Because of the close relationship between him and Cao Rui who were kidnapped together, Cao Rui just mentioned a few words that it was not enough to eat.

The next day, Cao Rui discovered that there was half more food in the lunch box that was delivered to him!

The problem of insufficient nutrition for physical exercise has been solved.

Cao Rui's body began to quickly get rid of the malnutrition state and started to develop in a healthy direction.

In this way, half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

The farmland ushered in the autumn harvest season.

After half a year of daily exercise, Cao Rui grew a lot taller and his body became more well-proportioned and healthy. He was no longer the skinny guy he was half a year ago.

As the body becomes more symmetrical and fuller, the facial features also look more delicate and regular.

The farm manager sent servants to help with the autumn harvest. Cao Rui completed the autumn harvest in his area within two days.

The work is done, and the last haystack is finished.

Cao Rui held a straw in his mouth and looked at the clean rice fields in front of him with contentment.

The joy of harvest season can fill the emptiness in one's heart.

"Cao Rui, come and roast the field mice." A young man's voice reached Cao Rui's ears.

The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and thin, and was holding a few fat field mice in his hands.

This is Xu Yuandong, fifteen years old. The cabin is not far away from Cao Rui.

Cao Rui and he had often roasted field mice together in the past six months, and now they were very familiar with each other.

"no problem."

I did a few more exercises today, so it's time to add more protein.

After lighting a fire and setting up a grill, Xu Yuandong had already skinned and cleaned several voles.

Cao Rui put the field mouse on a skewer and began to roast it with great concentration.

Xu Yuandong was also concentrating on watching Cao Rui roasting the rat, wiping his saliva from time to time, waiting for the moment when it was cooked.

"Brother Dong, I see that you seem to have learned some internal martial arts skills recently?" Cao Rui said casually while flipping the field mouse.

Xu Yuandong nodded: "Well, I have been working as a handyman for five years. A few days ago, the chief steward asked me to go to the Sutra Library to pick out a book on internal skills."

"But this thing is really difficult to practice. I haven't gained anything so far. I haven't even found the so-called Qi feeling." Xu Yuandong said in distress.

"It seems that I don't have any talent for martial arts. It's better for me to be a handyman." Xu Yuandong said resignedly.

Cao Rui smiled and said, "Try again. Maybe you will succeed after a few more attempts."

Xu Yuandong shook his head and did not reply. It seemed that he was not willing to make any more attempts in martial arts.

For him, being a handyman is enough.

The roasted field mouse is cooked, and with Cao Rui's superb grilling skills and seasoning, it exudes bursts of tempting aroma.

Cao Rui handed over a roasted field mouse, and Xu Yuandong immediately devoured it.

"Well, Cao Rui, why does the roasted field mouse taste a little different today? It seems to be more fragrant."

Cao Rui smiled and nodded: "Well, I added some herbs. We have too much moisture here. These herbs will help us remove moisture and toxins. You will have a good sleep tonight."

Xu Yuandong ate even more enthusiastically: "Cao Rui, you also know about herbal medicine, that's amazing, thank you so much!"

There were three roasted field mice, Xu Yuandong ate two and Cao Rui ate one.

After eating, it was already dark, so the two of them put out the fire and went back to their rooms.

Xu Yuandong returned to his cabin, staggering, his blood boiling and waves of sleepiness coming upon him.

"Cao Rui's herbal medicine is really effective."

After saying this, Xu Yuandong went into the bedroom and fell asleep, snoring from time to time.

Squeak.

The door of Xu Yuandong's wooden house was gently pushed open.

Cao Rui walked slowly into the wooden house.

"I'm sorry, Dong."

Cao Rui apologized to Xu Yuandong who was lying on the bed, and then began to search the house.

Finally, I found what I wanted in the bedside table - the Water-Stopping Technique.

This newly copied copy of the mental method is still brand new, and the scent of ink is particularly refreshing.

Without wasting any time, Cao Rui quickly read the contents of the Water-Stopping Technique under the moonlight.

This is a moderate and peaceful internal energy technique.

As a handyman, Xu Yuandong only knew the first three levels of the Water-Stopping Technique, and the rest should still be in the Sutra Library.

The first three levels are enough for you to try to practice on your own.

Cao Rui spent an hour reading it over and over again, and finally memorized the contents of the third level of Water-Stopping Technique.

Put the booklet back on the bedside table.

Cao Rui apologized again.

The Luoshui Gang strictly prohibits disciples from teaching martial arts privately to each other.

If one really waits five years before practicing martial arts through normal channels, then one's start will be much slower than others.

I have poor talent and started very slowly, so it is difficult for me to achieve anything in martial arts.

Therefore, Cao Rui had no choice but to resort to this bad strategy.

After obtaining the internal skills through special means.

Cao Rui adjusted his work and rest habits.

His body has been in good shape after years of fitness, so Cao Rui reduced the time he spent on running and basic physical exercises.

Spend more time practicing the Water-stopping Technique.

The first step to learn all mental methods is to find the sense of Qi.

Certain elixirs can help martial arts practitioners find the sense of qi.

Cao Rui was just a menial disciple, so naturally he could not enjoy the treatment of elixirs.

Cao Rui knew that his own talent was low, and he was ready for a long struggle in the area of ​​Qi.

"What's going on? Why does a black bead appear in my mind every time I close my eyes to search for the Qi?"

It's already the third day since I learned the Water-stopping Technique.

During this morning's routine practice, while searching for the Qi sensation according to the mantra, Cao Rui suddenly opened his eyes.

If you simply close your eyes, the black beads will not appear.

But as long as you start practicing, the black bead will naturally appear in your mind.

Faintly, it seemed that some purple things were emerging at the bottom of the black beads.

Now on the third day, the purple stuff is clearly visible at the bottom.

It was as if the black bead was a container, and these purple things were slowly filling up the bead as Cao Rui practiced.

"Purple beads...experience beads?"
