Behind the jade pendant were a pair of bright and clear eyes. Although Qin Mu was only eleven years old, he had already understood a lot of things.

Once, he followed Granny Si to a neighboring village. There was a woman about to give birth in that village, and the childbirth went smoothly. The loving scene of the family of three touched him deeply.

Qin Mu then asked Granny Si how he was born and where his parents were. Unable to answer, Granny Si had to tell him that he was picked up, and this jade pendant was already on him when they found him.

Therefore, Qin Mu cherished this jade pendant very much and hoped that one day he could use the jade pendant to find his parents and ask them why they had abandoned him.

After a long time, the young man put away the jade pendant and still hung it around his chest. His face was calm, and he hid the strangeness of the jade pendant in his heart. Behind him, Granny Si also returned to her room.

The next day, Master Ma, the blind man, the lame man, and the mute went out hunting again, catching more Four - Spirit Beasts to refine their blood as a great tonic for Qin Mu. The Four - Spirit Beasts within hundreds of li around had basically been caught clean by these four fierce people, so the four of them had to go to more distant places to capture Four - Spirit Beasts.

The Village Chief had difficulty moving, the Apothecary often went out to gather herbs, the Butcher was cynical and went crazy from time to time, and the Deaf Man was only interested in calligraphy and painting. On weekdays, the only one who could accompany Qin Mu in his cultivation was Granny Si.

However, Granny Si was often not in the village either. She was a tailor and also a midwife. The nearby villages often invited her to make clothes and occasionally to help with childbirth.

Today, Granny Si went out early in the morning, and the Apothecary also went out to gather herbs. The Butcher and the Deaf Man carried the Village Chief out and left him at the entrance of the village. One of them wielded a demonic knife, and the other was painting.

Qin Mu was bored and went to the river alone. Since the cow turned into a woman and was stabbed to death by the lame man, he had much less work to do.

By the river, the young man took a long breath, and his chest swelled up as if it was filled with air. His chest became more and more inflated, and then his True Yuan circulated, and his chest slowly deflated.

He didn't exhale the air but let his True Yuan moisten his lungs, making his lungs extremely tough. He compressed the air in his lungs, reducing it from ten parts to one part!

Qin Mu continued to inhale, and his chest still didn't bulge. When he reached his limit, the young man paused for a moment and then stepped out like an arrow leaving the bow!

On the surface of the river, two waves separated to the sides. In the middle of the two waves, Qin Mu walked on the river and rushed forward!

Suddenly, a blade light flashed in the river. While running, he drew out the pig - killing knife. The blade light sparkled, flying up and down like a flood dragon. This was the knife technique of the Butcher!

The knife technique was like the person. The Butcher's pig - killing knife technique was cynical and had a wild and overbearing air of not submitting to heaven or earth. The blade light rolled and crushed everything in its path on the river.

Suddenly, the blade light suddenly retracted. Qin Mu still carried the pig - killing knife on his back and then displayed Master Ma's boxing technique. His True Yuan reached his arms, and he circulated his qi to his fingertips, making a fist. His body was like the Yangtze River flowing into the sea, breaking through the sky with the torrents of the plateau, continuous and powerful.

The first form of the Thunderous Eight Forms, Going Alone to the East Sea with the Spring Thunder!

He punched again and again, and in his mind, he visualized the scene of the great river flowing, the sound of the waves like thunder, and rushing into the sea. Unconsciously, the same artistic conception emerged in his boxing.

His fist suddenly opened, and his five fingers and palm vibrated violently. The air in front of his palm was sharply compressed and then exploded, splashing water all over the river.

"It still doesn't work. I can't achieve the Palm Thunder."

Qin Mu was a little disappointed. The lowest level of Master Ma's Thunderous Eight Forms required achieving the Palm Thunder. With every punch and palm strike, thunderous explosive sounds should burst out, which not only intimidated people but also had astonishing power.

And when cultivated to a high level, it was a supernatural power, controlling thunder, which was far beyond what he could reach now.

While running wildly, he took a bamboo staff from his back. The tip of the staff pointed here and there, but he was not using an ordinary staff technique but a spear technique. He learned the staff technique from the blind man, and the blind man's staff technique was a spear technique. The great spear was like an enraged dragon rolling the river water, curling, pointing, stabbing, and thrusting. Every strike was accompanied by the river water churning with the bamboo staff.

Qin Mu put the bamboo staff on his back and then took out a large sledgehammer from his back, displaying the hammer technique taught by the mute blacksmith. The hammer technique was simple and clumsy, with tremendous force, extremely heavy, which was the complete opposite of Qin Mu's quick running!

After a long time, he felt that his True Yuan was somewhat insufficient, his body was tired, and his strength was about to be exhausted. Only then did he look around and found that he had already been far away from Remnant Elderly Village and came to a place hundreds of li downstream.

"Did I run this far without realizing it?"

Qin Mu saw an oasis in the middle of the river, with the river water surging by on both sides. His heart stirred, and he immediately rushed towards the oasis in the middle of the river.

After a while, his feet stepped on solid ground, and he climbed onto the oasis.

The oasis was not big, like a small hill in the middle of the river. It was only about a li in diameter left and right, standing about forty zhang high in the middle of the river, with lush vegetation.

There was no sound of birdsong in the dense forest, only the sound of the flowing water. Not far in front of Qin Mu, a temple was hidden in the forest, revealing its dilapidated walls.

Qin Mu walked up to it and saw that the temple was in a state of disrepair, having not been maintained for a long time. There were cobwebs everywhere, but it was still a good place to rest.

He stopped in front of the temple. One of the temple doors had fallen down. It was dim inside, but he could still see a huge Buddha statue standing in the temple. The Buddha statue was pasted with gold foil, shining with a golden light.

However, no one had been here for a long time. A lot of the gold foil had fallen off, revealing the copper base. There were some strange characters written on the copper base, twisted and curvy as if composed of tadpoles.

And there were thick chains on the Buddha statue. These chains were locking the Buddha statue. Qin Mu immediately saw that these chains extended from the small temple and went all the way to the shore of the oasis, going deep into the Yong River.

"Strange. Why are these chains locking this Buddha statue... Grandpa Blind said that when entering a temple to burn incense, it's a rule. I didn't bring any incense, so I can only rest in front of the temple."

Qin Mu cleared his throat and bowed to the temple, saying, "I'm from Remnant Elderly Village. I live by the river. I passed by this precious temple and borrowed this place to rest. I'm uneasy that I've disturbed the owner here."

He hesitated for a moment and continued to recite the words taught by the blind man, saying, "I've been weak with a deficiency of the kidney and have premature ejaculation of the Yuan Yang since I was a child. If there are any fairy sisters in the temple, please don't harm me."

The blind man was an experienced person, and Qin Mu naturally believed his words. Since the blind man taught him like this, he said it like this, and there shouldn't be any problem.

After this prayer, Qin Mu sat on the stone steps, took off the iron shoes on his feet, untied the iron ingots tied to his calves, and breathed in and out to recover his strength.

All the way here, he had been running on the river with iron shoes on his feet and iron ingots tied to his calves. The iron shoes and iron ingots were newly forged for him by the mute blacksmith and were heavier than last time.

Suddenly, a girl's chuckle came from the temple behind him, and she said crisply, "You talk quite interestingly. Well, I won't eat you then."

Qin Mu quickly turned around and saw that a little girl was sitting on the palm of the Buddha statue. She was about his age, also eleven or twelve years old, with three small braids. Two thinner braids hung in front of her chest, and the thicker one hung behind her. She was swinging her feet and looking at him with a smile.

The girl swung her feet, and the golden rings on her ankles bumped against each other, making a tinkling sound, making her laughter seem as bright as the early spring sunlight.

Qin Mu quickly stood up and said, "This fairy sister..."

"Where is there any fairy sister?"

The girl jumped down from the hand of the Buddha statue, laughing happily and showing two small tiger teeth. "My name is Xian Qing'er. I live nearby and have never seen any fairy sister. What's your name?"

Seeing that she was smiling brightly and didn't seem to be a bad person, Qin Mu let out a sigh of relief and said, "My name is Qin Mu, which means a cowherd with the surname Qin. I originally had a cow, and the grandmas and grandpas in the village always asked me to herd the cow."

Xian Qing'er walked behind the door of the ancient temple, opened the other temple door, looked him up and down, and then looked behind him. Suddenly, she giggled and said, "Where's your cow?"

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and said, "The cow turned into a woman, and now there's no cow anymore."

Xian Qing'er was surprised and exclaimed excitedly, "There's such a fun thing? How did it change? Can you do it?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I'm not very good at it yet. My granny can do it."

Xian Qing'er was a little disappointed and said, "I thought you could. What other fun things do you have? Come in and tell me quickly!"

Qin Mu raised his foot and was about to step into the ancient temple. Suddenly, his gaze passed over Xian Qing'er, and he saw several white bones behind the Buddha statue of the dilapidated temple. His heart skipped a beat, and his foot hung in the air without landing. He hesitated and said, "Grandpa Blind said that when entering a temple to offer incense, one should first bow to the Buddha in the temple. I didn't bring any incense, so I'd better not go in."

"Come in!" Xian Qing'er smiled sweetly.

Qin Mu blinked his eyes, and the foot that was hanging in the air retreated. He smiled more honestly than the lame man and said, "I'd better not go in. You come out, and I'll tell you some fun things."

Xian Qing'er's eyes flickered, and she bit her red lips with her white teeth. She giggled and said, "I know some naughty and good things that only boys and girls can play. Come in, and I'll teach you."

Her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and her voice was alluring. Just now, she was youthful and bright, and now she was a bit charming and attractive.

Qin Mu blushed and stammered, "I've been weak with a deficiency of the kidney since I was a child..."

"Come in!" A thunderous roar came from the little girl's mouth.
