You began to look at the bones. It was an old man wearing a black robe, but he seemed to have been dead for more than ten years. You were going to bury the bones, but when you lifted them up, you found two books under his butt.

One is called [Kuangfeng Sword Technique] and the other is called [Zhenwu Secret Codex]

You were overjoyed, thinking this was the cultivation method your father always talked about. You quickly opened it and started reading.

Thanks to the fact that you know quite a few words, you quickly memorized both sets of exercises.

Then you realize that this is a sword technique and a body-building technique.

After thinking it over, you put the two sets of skills away, buried the bones and left the cave.

I don’t know why, but you found your way home very smoothly this time!

Your parents are thrilled to see you back, but they still give you a loving reprimand!

[Next, you should practice body cultivation according to the Zhenwu Secret Book every day when your family is not around.

With your excellent talent, you quickly got started, your strength began to increase, and at the same time, your appetite increased greatly.

Your parents were very worried at first, but later on, after seeing you growing stronger and stronger, they felt relieved and thought you were gifted!

[Seventh Year: You have mastered the Kuangfeng Sword Technique and the Zhenwu Secret Codex, and your physical strength has increased by +5. You can now lift objects weighing 500 to 600 kilograms. You are extremely satisfied and continue to practice!]

[Tenth Year: You have mastered the Kuangfeng Sword Technique and Zhenwu Secret Codex! Your physical strength has reached 20 points!]

Your strength has reached 2,000 kilograms! You once tried to shatter a rock more than a meter tall with one punch.

Although you are only nine years old now, you are already 1.6 meters tall, taller than some shorter adults.

In the past few years, your parents also knew about your cultivation, but they did not spread it to anyone. They just bought you a lot of blood food as a tonic.

Fortunately, your father always had a good harvest every time he went into the mountains, so your family didn't go broke because of you. Not only that, your family even became the richest in the village. They built a new yard.

[However, at the end of the year, something strange happened. The Qingshan bandits, who were more than ten kilometers away, came down the mountain to plunder and chose your village.

Hundreds of strong bandits came to Lingjia Village and went straight to your house, the richest one.

Your front door was smashed down, and hundreds of strong bandits armed with knives surrounded your house.

Your parents were terrified and guarded you closely behind them.

At this time, a burly man walked out.

"Are you Ling Dashan? I heard your family is very rich. If you don't want to die, take out one thousand taels of silver, otherwise we will rob you ourselves!

But if we do it ourselves, we can't guarantee the lives of your family members!"

The bandit leader spoke coldly.

These words immediately frightened your parents, and your father quickly begged for mercy.

"Boss, we just have a little money. Look, even if I sell my whole family, I can't even get three hundred taels!

Or you can see that all the money in my family is one hundred and thirty-four taels!"

Your father said quickly.

"What? One hundred and thirty-four taels? Are you giving alms to a beggar?"

The boss became furious when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I know this isn't enough, but it's all the money my family has. How about this? I'll pay you a minimum of twenty taels every month!"

Your father knew that more than 100 taels would not satisfy the other party, so he could only quickly come up with the second strategy.

Sure enough, as soon as your father said this, the bandits present nodded secretly. In this era, one tael of silver was enough for a family to live for one or two months, and twenty taels was enough to cover one-tenth of the food expenses for their entire bandit group.

After all, they are just a family. You can't expect them to support the entire bandit gang, right?

Moreover, this is a long-term plan, which is much more cost-effective than grabbing it all at once.

This year it’s two hundred and four, and in ten years it’s two thousand and four!

"You're a smart kid, but twenty taels is too little. Thirty taels! Not a penny less. I'll send someone to collect it every month!"

Of course, don't even think about running away. We have spies in your village. I'll know before your family even leaves!"

The boss gave a warning.

When your father heard this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Thinking about the thirty taels of silver your family has to give you every month, you feel angry and want to take action, but you hold back when you see your mother shaking her head with tears in her eyes.

You can tell at a glance that this boss is a warrior, but you don't know how strong he is.

Also, there are so many of them, and if they all surround you, you won’t be able to protect your parents.

The robber took away 130 taels and left without touching anyone in your family.

[Late at night, your parents discussed and decided to increase the frequency of going up the mountain from once a week to once every three days.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to raise that much money.

You quickly spoke up and prepared to go up the mountain with your father!

Your parents naturally disagreed, but they were shocked when you easily lifted a millstone weighing hundreds of kilograms.

This power has exceeded their understanding.

Your father reluctantly agreed to let you go up the mountain with him, and for safety reasons he went to the town overnight and used the money he had hidden long ago to buy you a large iron sword.

Holding the big knife, you have the urge to slaughter the Qingshan bandit, but for the sake of your family, you choose to hold back for now!

[The next day, you and your father went up the mountain. With you around, your father became much braver. Although there were legends about ferocious beasts with terrifying power in these mountains, and he had seen them before, nothing unexpected happened.

With you, I am even less afraid.

You are very lucky. You found a hundred-year-old ginseng on the first day you went up the mountain. Your father was very happy. If you sell it, you will get at least forty or fifty taels of silver.

Then you keep searching!

Almost every day you can find rare medicinal herbs worth more than 100-year-old ginseng,

This makes your dad scream in horror, after all, he can't even make that much in a year.

When I was preparing to go down the mountain, I calculated that this time I would harvest at least three hundred taels!

But now your father is in a dilemma. If he sells so many medicinal herbs, the robbers will definitely find out.

It will probably be looted again by then.

But you soon pointed out that you needed almost all of the herbs in your cultivation, and it would be better to use them yourself instead of giving them to the robbers.

Your father agreed immediately upon hearing this, since it was you who picked it, after all.]

[After returning home, your father sold the herbs worth seven or eight taels, and you used the remaining herbs to prepare the medicinal bath according to the records in the Zhenwu Secret Book.]

[After the medicinal bath is prepared, you sit in the bucket and start practicing the Zhenwu Secret Book!

In an instant, the violent medicinal power surged into your body, and your body absorbed the medicinal power like dry land.

After three days and three nights, the water in the medicinal bath became very light.

Open your eyes and get out of the bucket! 】

[You use medicinal bath: Physical value +10
