A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 208 Falling Off a Cliff with a Heavy Load

Duan Rong was carrying a large box, trekking through the mountains and forests. With such a heavy box on his shoulders, it was already quite strenuous for him to perform the Cloud Snake Step.

Duan Rong simply walked forward, just like the way he walked with Shen Ping that day when he entered the mountains and crossed the mountains.

At dusk, Duan Rong finally reached the cliff above the cave stronghold.

At this time, the setting sun was like a huge red veil, covering the valley in front of him, and the mountains and streams all showed a hazy and gorgeous beauty.

Duan Rong took off the heavy box on his shoulders. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Duan Rong opened the box at this time and counted the things in the box in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Most of the box at the bottom was neatly stacked with gold ingots, a total of 80 ingots, each weighing 20 taels.

On top of the gold ingots, there were many jewels, corals, tortoises, giant clams, agates and other things.

In this world, treasures are scarce and hard to come by. These things are more valuable than gold.

"It seems that all the wealth of the Quan family is here." Duan Rong couldn't help but sigh, then picked up the top few stacks of silver notes and roughly counted them. He only counted the larger denominations. The total amount was as much as 40,000 taels.

In this way, the registration fee of 60,000 taels to Ximen Kankan at the end of the year would not be a problem at all.

Duan Rong had originally planned to go to the casino a few more times, and then take the time to conceive a few different spring palaces to pass on to Ximen Kankan. Now it seems that all this effort can be saved.

In the next few days, he only needs to concentrate on practicing martial arts!

Duan Rong then jumped from the cliff. As soon as his figure fell off the cliff, he drew out the oxtail knife, infused his internal breath, and nailed it into the hard rock wall with one knife. Duan Rong's figure was hanging on the rock wall, and his toes kicked somewhere on the rock wall. Suddenly, stone chips flew across, and a pit was kicked out there.

Duan Rong then pulled out the oxtail knife, and his body suddenly fell down. He nailed the knife into the rock wall again and kicked out a stone pit.

Then, he went down one by one, kicking out a row of stone pits from the top of the cliff to the cave entrance.

This was the foothold Duan Rong kicked out on the rock wall for himself to carry the big box into the cave.

Even if he had achieved the Cloud Snake Step of the minor success realm, it would be impossible to carry such a heavy big box and step down the wall without a foothold.

After Duan Rong kicked the foothold, he came to the cliff again. He carried the heavy big box on his shoulders and suddenly jumped down from the cliff.

As soon as Duan Rong fell, he stepped on the first foothold. Duan Rong's body suddenly paused and fell again...

Duan Rong just tapped his toes and fell down along the rock wall, and finally jumped into the cave.

Duan Rong landed at the entrance of the cave, sweating all over. Although it was only a short section, Duan Rong found that his energy consumption was extremely high.

Duan Rong's eyes suddenly flashed, because he found that this thing consumed more energy than standing still.

Falling from the cliff, along the rock wall, not only does one have to carry weight, but also control the balance of the body.

If one goes down along the rock wall from the top of the cliff to the bottom, and goes up and down repeatedly, wouldn't it be a more intense way of practicing than standing in the round pile?

Duan Rong thought about it and found that just now, he not only used the Cloud Snake Step to keep his body balanced between the cliffs, but also consumed a lot of internal energy because of the heavy weight and falling off the cliff.

However, this method of practicing has high requirements. Not only must one have the light skill, otherwise you can't control the balance of the body on the rock wall, and the weight must be heavy enough. If the weight is not heavy enough, the energy consumption will not be high.

The essence of practicing is to repeatedly consume the internal breath, and then regenerate the internal breath, and then consume it again after regeneration, repeating the cycle, boring and tedious.

And every time it is consumed and regenerated, the internal breath will grow a little bit, and only after accumulating day by day can progress be seen.

If you can consume faster and regenerate faster with the help of medicine, then the practice of increasing the internal breath will naturally be faster!

However, Duan Rong had no time to think about this problem carefully at this time. He could only put this new method aside for the time being and study it in detail later.

Duan Rong carried the big box and put it in the innermost part of the cave, and then put several large silver bills in his inner pocket into it. Duan Rong then left the cave and went down the mountain.

After Duan Rong left the Wild Boar Mountain, he followed the official road overnight and headed straight to Xiangu County.

At dawn, Duan Rong finally entered the East Gate exhausted.

Duan Rong had breakfast on the street first, then returned to Yuanshun Escort Agency. He asked the doorman Ma Wentao for some information. Fortunately, nothing happened in the escort agency during the past two days.

Duan Rong returned to Liulu. He first washed off the dust beside the big water tank, then climbed onto the bed naked and slept with a blanket.

Duan Rong slept until noon.

After waking up, Duan Rong simply washed up, went to the canteen in the middle courtyard to have lunch, then left the escort agency, bought some daily gifts in the shop on the street, and went to Xiao Zongting's courtyard.

When Duan Rong entered the backyard hall, Xiao Zongting was sitting there sipping tea, while Xiao Yu was wearing a green water skirt and standing by the table arranging flowers. When Xiao Yu saw Duan Rong coming in, she only glanced at him and turned into her room.

No mistakes in one poem, one post, one content, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar, one look!

Duan Rong was already accustomed to Xiao Yu's reaction. He glanced at the bright and juicy roses in the vase on the table, then put the things he was carrying on the table.

Xiao Zongting winked at Duan Rong, and Duan Rong sat on the chair opposite Xiao Zongting and started chatting with Xiao Zongting.

The two chatted for a while, and Duan Rong moved his sleeves and put a porcelain bottle on the table between them.

Duan Rong said, "Mr. Xiao, this is what Mr. Shen asked me to bring to you when he left."

"He went back to the mountains?" Xiao Zongting glanced at the porcelain bottle and said indifferently.

In his opinion, the Shen Ping that Duan Rong said was gone must be that the old guy recovered from his injuries and went back to the mountains. And the last time they quarreled, Shen Ping laughed at him for being a cripple, and he still hadn't let it go.

Duan Rong said, "Mr. Shen has left Xiangu County. He said that he would travel around the world for the rest of his life to cure diseases and save people."

Xiao Zongting was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Duan Rong in astonishment.

Duan Rong continued, "This bottle contains medicine that Mr. Shen personally made. It has a certain effect of relieving and restraining various poisons. It can also play an emergency and soothing role for some acute diseases."

Xiao Zongting looked at the porcelain bottle, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated. He didn't expect that this old friend would leave like this, and they had a very unpleasant quarrel the last time.

"Old boy, if I had known you were going to leave, why wouldn't I let you go?" Xiao Zongting suddenly muttered to himself, he stroked the porcelain bottle and sighed deeply.

Duan Rong naturally saw Xiao Zongting's sadness because of his old friend's departure. He comforted him and talked to Xiao Zongting about other topics, but seeing that Xiao Zongting couldn't lift his spirits, Duan Rong also stood up and said goodbye.

However, when Duan Rong left, he took a rose from the vase on the table. There were seven or eight roses in it, and he took a bright yellow one.

Duan Rong sniffed the fragrance of the rose in his hand and walked out of Xiao Zongting's courtyard.
