The younger brother Cao Chong, who was only eight years old, saw his eldest brother walking out of the yard and screamed with joy.
Cao Xiu was also startled when he saw his mother, Cao Wang, and his younger brother coming towards him.
Then a happy smile appeared on his face: "This is really a coincidence. I was getting ready to go out. If you had come a little later, you wouldn't have been able to meet me!"
As he spoke, he turned around and pushed the door open again, then took a few steps forward to take the things from his mother's hands, and asked: "Didn't my mother say that she would go back to my grandpa's place to stay for a few more days? Why did she come back so soon?"
Cao's mother's name is Wang Wanzhen, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family in Yishui.
The Wang family is an aristocratic family in Yishui that has been inherited for more than 300 years. Even though it has declined in recent years, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
It's just that Wang Wanzhen's personality is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She knows that her mother's family has not been having a hard time in recent years, so she would rather raise her two children by herself than go to her mother's family.
Otherwise, the family only has so many resources, and she would just go back to the family alone. If she goes back with two children with a foreign surname, she will definitely be gossiped in secret by her clan members!
Hearing her son's question, Wang Wanzhen pulled her hair from her ears and said with a smile: "Your brother missed you, so he came back early after buying the goods!"
Cao Xiu nodded after hearing this.
He knew that many of the goods in the shops opened by his mother in the city were obtained through connections with the Wang family in Yishui.
Having an extra income for my natal family is a killing two birds with one stone.
"Is grandpa feeling better?"
"Still like that!"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "How can it be so easy to heal an injury that has lasted for decades?
However, your uncle has had some opportunities recently, and his skills have improved a lot, and he is close to succeeding in his transformation from the mortal world. If he further develops his supernatural powers, he can lead the Wang family out of the predicament and rise again."
"Supernatural power?"
Cao Xiu's expression changed when he heard this: "Mom, is it difficult to cultivate magical powers?"
"Of course, if it can be accomplished easily, there won't be just a few monks in the magical realm in Yishui."
Mrs. Wang stepped across the threshold and said as she walked: "If you want to cultivate magical powers, you must first shed your mortal body and cultivate into a legal body, otherwise you will not be able to support the consumption of magical powers.
If you want to cultivate the Dharma body, you must first become a monk.
Okay, it's useless to say that some of this is not true. The most important thing for you right now is to practice hard and strive to break through the acquired realm.
This time when I went back, your grandfather secretly gave me a red fruit, and your uncle also gave me a bottle of marrow-cleansing pill.
These are all for your cultivation, my son must study hard and not let down their expectations!"
"ah?"
Cao Xiu was a little surprised.
Zhuguo is a fire spirit fruit, which is most suitable for people like him who practice the Pure Yang method.
However, his grandfather was seriously injured in his early years, and his own martial arts went wrong. He was in need of fire elixirs to recuperate his body, and his uncle was able to provide these elixirs during a critical period of cultivation, which shows that he was thoughtful.
It should be because he is about to reach adulthood and has not yet advanced to the innate level, so he wants to help him at this critical moment.
In the final analysis, his qualifications are average, otherwise he would not have consumed these resources.
However, compared to his lack of qualifications, Cao Xiu is more willing to believe that there is something wrong with the exercises he practices.
After all, in the Cao family, from the old man back then to now, at least several hundred members of the clan have practiced the Chunyang Boy Kung Fu for several generations, but no one has practiced it to great success before reaching adulthood.
In fact, the practice of this skill is indeed very demanding. In order to achieve perfection, in addition to opening up the Zhoutian meridians and opening the corresponding acupoints, one must also condense a pure Yang Tao seed in the body with extremely pure power. Only then can the skill be perfected.
It is the most rare!
So far, Cao Xiu has not found the path to Chunyang Taoism.
If it were other members of the Cao family, they would have already switched to other martial arts by the time he was this age.
It's just that they left the family and had no other suitable methods to practice, and his mother, Wang, couldn't teach him the methods inherited by the Wang family. Moreover, the Wang family's exercises had cold attributes and were not suitable for him to practice. This is why Cao Xiu has been practicing hard as a boy.
The reason for success.
At this moment, when he heard his mother say that his grandfather, who had been ill in bed for many years, actually spared the elixir for him, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable.
Cao Xiu opened his mouth, intending to say something, but after careful consideration, he still did not speak.
It would be better for only you to know about the Treasure Map Cave Heaven, otherwise if someone finds out about it, it will definitely arouse covetousness and kill people to seize the treasure.
He is too weak to protect such a magical weapon from the heaven!
If you are not careful, not only will your head be split open and the scroll taken away, but the person who took the treasure may also be implicated in order to silence you!
After returning home, Wang Wanzhen ordered her youngest son to close the door. Then she took out a wooden box from her sleeve, opened it and took out a fist-sized vermilion fruit, and then took out a cyan porcelain vase, too.
Pass it to Cao Xiu.
"Is this Zhu Guo?"
Although he seemed to have eaten spiritual fruit in his memory when he was a child, he had long forgotten the taste after so many years.
At this time, I held the red fruit in my hand and immediately smelled an attractive fruity aroma.
"Gulu..."
However, Cao Chong next to him couldn't help but swallowed after smelling the aroma.
Mrs. Wang smiled and touched her youngest son's head: "Chong'er, you are still young. Now your elder brother is at a critical moment in his cultivation, so I can't give you this red fruit. Mother will think about it when you grow up.
Can I get a spiritual fruit for you to eat?"
"Don't worry, mother, I won't compete with my brother!"
Cao Chong tried hard to control his appetite, swallowed his saliva again, and acted like a young adult: "When I grow up, I will definitely find spiritual fruits to honor my mother!"
"Okay, good boy!"
Wang felt greatly comforted and praised him with all his heart.
Cao Xiu looked at the red fruit and elixir in his hand and said: "Mom, the spiritual fruit is precious. If you put it at home, you might be coveted by others. I will go back to my room and take it for cultivation."
"My son's words make sense. If so, go ahead!"
Wang nodded in agreement with Cao Xiu's words.
Various strange spells are emerging in the world of spiritual practice, especially those who hide in the market, many of whom are good at treasure hunting and soul hunting.
Apart from that, there are several treasure-holding people on the street next door, and all of them have noses as sharp as dogs!
If they smell it, they might come to Cao's house to be a gentleman. Wouldn't it be a pity if the red fruit and elixir were stolen!
Cao Xiu got up and went to his room with his things.
He didn't lie. After returning to the room, he did take a few bites of the Zhu Guo and then practiced it for a while.
But before that, he had already put the remaining core of the red fruit into the space, found a small piece of flat ground and dropped it in. Finally, he did not forget to drop a drop of water of life on it.
Originally, he planned to go to the mountains to dig a few herbs and plant them in the space. Now that he has got the red fruit, where can he find ordinary herbs?
Compared with spiritual fruits, ordinary herbs are not worth mentioning at all!
