Chapter 23 Confiscated, the Jade Pendant with the Word "Beast"

Although there were casualties.

But overall it was still a big win.

It was also the first time that Cao Rui showed his true strength in front of the 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 was deeply rooted in the hearts of the gang members present.

Treat the wounds of the injured.

Cover the bodies of the dead with cloth.

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

"These pirates have been looting many times since the end of the year, and they should have hidden a lot of good things on the island."

The gang members excitedly rushed to the island, including those who were injured.

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

It was considered a small extra income for the gang members.

Xiong Mingfang also led people to search the island.

Cao Rui looked at the wooden house on the island.

Turning back, he pressed the hilt of the sword, came to the shore, and stepped onto the pirate ship that had not been boarded.

The pirates' boats were not big, and they also took the fast boat route for better looting.

The pirates naturally had no hygiene to speak of, and the boats were smelly.

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

This cabin was still locked.

It should be the pirate leader's private place.

There might be some good things inside.

Cao Rui pulled out the Youquan Sword and cut off the lock with one sword.

The smell in the cabin was not good either.

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

A wooden box was really turned out from under a bottom plate of the cabin.

Cao Rui reached out to take out the wooden box, and with a little force, the small lock on the wooden box was unlocked.

Opening the box, Cao Rui saw the objects in the box.

A book of internal skills: Canglan Jue.

A martial arts secret book: Xuesha Knife Technique.

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

A beast character was engraved on the front of the jade plate.

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 had become calm.

He put the three swords close to his body.

Cao Rui got off the boat calmly.

Cao Rui naturally did not plan to share these three things with his gang members.

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

There were only simple tents on the island.

The search on the island ended quickly.

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

After moving the supplies onto the boat on the shore.

Five speedboats, plus the supply ship, plus the pirates' pirate ship.

A total of seven ships started to return.

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

The wind was also good on the way back, and it took about an hour

in the afternoon.

The team returned to Heishui Town.

After checking that the supplies that were robbed and sent to Ningyuan County were correct, they were handed over to several gang members for emergency transportation on the spot.

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

......

Evening, Youquan Restaurant, third floor.

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

Xiong Mingfang took out a silver note of 300 taels and handed it to Cao Rui.

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

"I'll also shamelessly take part of it. Three people died under my command, and I have to give some pensions." 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 relied on his seniority before.

But his relationship channels in Heishui Town were still very strong.

After the news was released, all the goods were cashed in in one afternoon.

The pirates' ship was sold for a lot of silver, plus other supplies, Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang had a big income this time.

Three hundred taels of silver, Cao Rui was thinking about buying some elixirs.

Upgrade the Water Stopping Technique to the sixth level in advance.

That night.

Cao Rui and Xiong Mingfang were drunk.

Xiong Mingfang wanted to swear brotherhood with Cao Rui on the spot.

Cao Rui couldn't refuse, so Xiong Mingfang became 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 a big age gap...

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

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

Even so, Cao Rui's performance is terrifying.

Seventeen or eighteen-year-old top second-rate warriors, those big sects have such outstanding disciples.

Coming 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 to examine them carefully.

"The difficulty of practicing the Blood Evil Sword Technique is similar to that of 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."

"Canglan Jue, this mental method actually has nine levels, two more than Zhishui Jue, which means that the level of Canglan Jue is higher than Zhishui Jue."

"I should switch to Canglan Jue to make further progress in internal strength."

"It's just that switching to a new method will cause a lot of loss to internal strength, resulting in a decrease in combat power. At present, the Giant Whale Gang is still fighting, and we need combat power to protect ourselves."

"You have to choose a suitable and safe time to switch to cultivation, and use the experience beads to quickly make up for the loss."

"Finally, this piece of jade pendant with the word 'beast'..."

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

"What kind of heaven and earth treasure is this thing?"

Suddenly, Cao Rui's heart moved.

"It looks like something..."

"Could it be related to cultivation?"

Cao Rui experienced the feeling brought by the jade pendant, and he closed his eyes and began to practice Mingyu Gong.

After a while.

Cao Rui opened his eyes, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Practicing with the jade pendant, the growth rate of Mingyu Gong's experience value increased by at least twice!"

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

Just now, Cao Rui practiced Mingyu Gong with the jade pendant.

The first level of Mingyu Gong, drawing 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 increased.

The most intuitive manifestation is that the speed of Mingyu Gong's experience value increase in his mind is twice as fast!

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

"Maybe within this year, or at the latest next year, I can cultivate the first level of Mingyu Gong!"

"This group of pirates from Yue Country is really my lucky star!"

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

This thing is so important that it cannot be lost.

At night, Cao Rui felt the coldness 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 been officially introduced, it has already demonstrated the magic of cultivating immortals.

After the spiritual energy entered his body, Cao Rui not only did not feel the fatigue of cultivation, but was also energetic every day. He only needed to take a nap for a few hours to satisfy his body's sleep.
