Practice begins with immortality

In a courtyard in the north of the city.

"Mom, why are you waking me up so late at night?" A young woman who looked to be about 20 years old complained sleepily while holding a child.

"I don't know which rascal came to our house so late at night. I'll use the name of Tieyi Martial Arts School to scare him later." Widow He said fiercely.

Her real name was He Jing. Nearing forty, she was not young, but she still retained a fierce streak. After her husband's death, she used this fierce and aggressive nature to raise her daughter, Li Qian, alone.

"Hey there, which street are you from? Don't you know that my son-in-law is the second disciple of the owner of the Tieyi Martial Arts School?! Leave now, otherwise you will be in trouble!" Widow He shouted loudly, hoping to protect the safety of herself and her family by intimidating the other party.

"Aunt He, I am Brother Huang's junior fellow student. Brother Huang has entrusted me to take you away." A deep male voice came from outside the door, revealing a hint of anxiety.

"If you say it is, then it is. How can you prove it?!" Widow He did not believe the other party's words easily. She was very cautious. After all, in this dangerous world, caution is the way to survive.

Seeing this, Wang Bai said nothing more. He jumped ten feet high, jumped into the courtyard, and went straight in through the window.

"Wait, Mom." Li Qian hurriedly grabbed He Qing, "He is indeed Wang Bai. I heard my husband talk about him." Her voice was a little anxious.

He Qing looked at the person in front of her, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still decided to believe her daughter.

Li Qian turned her head and looked at Wang Bai, her eyes full of confusion and worry: "Brother Wang, what happened to my husband? Why did you take us away so late?" Her voice trembled slightly.

Wang Bai was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "...He's dead."

"What?!" When He Qing heard this, her body shook violently and a look of astonishment appeared on her face.

Li Qian could not bear the blow and fainted.

Wang Bai hurried forward to support Li Qian, and a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

……

A month later, in Tiannan County of Xuan Kingdom, in Mozhu Town under Tiecheng.

"Mrs. He, are you satisfied with living in this mansion? If you are, this mansion will belong to you."

An old man who looked to be about fifty years old and a little fat said to He Jing complimentingly that if people from Mozhu Town and the surrounding villages saw this, they would be surprised. When did Sun Cai, the largest landlord in this area, become so amiable?

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Sun. Let's take this one!" He Qing said to Sun Cai with a smile.

Then, Sun Cai took out another piece of land deed and said, "Madam He, Young Master Wang has instructed me to announce to the public that you are my distant cousin. Also, this is the deed for one hundred acres of land. Please keep it for now."

Sun Cai said this nonchalantly, but actually his heart was bleeding. You know, after three generations of hard work, his family only had nearly a thousand acres of land. Now, one tenth of it was given away at once. Anyone would be heartbroken. But when he thought of Wang Bai smashing a stone as tall as a person into pieces with one punch, Sun Cai felt scared. With such a master, even the guards he hired together would not be enough for him to kill.

"Forget it, forget it. As long as I'm alive, I can definitely make back these losses in the future." Sun Cai comforted himself in his heart, and then left.

At the same time, three grave mounds appeared in an unnamed valley nearby. A young man was paying homage in front of one of the tombstones.

"Don't worry, go, senior brother. Yeyu Society and Xuanwu Guard, just wait and see!" Wang Bai touched the tombstone and muttered to himself.

……

Time flies, and it has been three years since Wang Bai brought He Jing and his party to Mozhu Town.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang! When can you teach me to practice?" A nine-year-old boy asked excitedly in the courtyard where Wang Bai lived.

"Little Stone, you are only nine years old this year. What kind of martial arts can you practice? You should learn more words and study the principles of martial arts well, otherwise you will not be able to practice the secret manual of magic skills in the future." Wang Bai knocked on the boy's head and said with a smile.

……

At night, in He Jing's room.

"Auntie He, with these property deeds, you and your daughter will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your lives. I've also told Sun Cai to go find him if you have any problems. He's a local tyrant in this area, and there's nothing he can't handle. This way, I'll have lived up to Senior Brother Huang's trust. I'll leave tonight."

Wang Bai solemnly reminded He Jing that he had completely nurtured his internal energy five days ago, opening up a meridian and becoming a martial arts master. He had been consolidating his cultivation for the past few days, and after it was fully established today, he planned to go into the mountains for intensive training.

"By the way, if Little Stone wants to learn martial arts in the future, I'll give this to him after he's fully developed his health."

Wang Bai took out a wooden box, inside of which was the Vajra Sutra that he had obtained from Niu Wu. Wang Bai had already memorized the contents by heart.

Afterwards, Wang Bai left Mozhu Town directly and headed for Qingxuan Mountain in Yunshan County.
