I can return to the age of mysterious
Chapter 318 - 318 194 Preparation for Enhancing Strength (4000)_2

Chapter 318: 194 Preparation for Enhancing Strength (4000)_2 Chapter 318: 194 Preparation for Enhancing Strength (4000)_2 An hour later.

At the Ringing Water Martial Art School, there is a room at the back of the building specifically used to entertain esteemed guests. At this moment, three people are in it, having tea.

To the left is the white-haired Casio, to the right is Simon who had just fought with Casio. Sitting between them is an elderly man who looks over sixty. He is wearing a lake-blue combat suit. Embroidered on the back of the combat suit is an elliptical, spiral-shaped, dark stripe, a symbol representing the Ringing Water Road.

“You’re a survivor of the Wind Elephant Gate?!”

The old man abruptly stands from his seat.

He stares at Casio in shock.

“Yes, I’m probably the last one left from the Wind Elephant Gate…”

Casio raises his head to look back at the old man, who seems to be at a loss for words. He says, “I know what you want to ask. Yes, a mysterious force did target the Wind Elephant Gate more than a decade ago. But they were not from the martial arts schools or even the Secret Martial Arts World. They were very dangerous.”

“Knowing this could bring disaster to the entire Ringing Water Road. Do you still want to know more? I can tell you…”

Casio is very straight-forward, clearly laying out the pros and cons.

This time, unlike the third retrospection, many factors are not in his favor. The leverage that he holds can only earn him some trades from the Ringing Water Road, far from enough to forge an in-depth cooperation.

Casio doesn’t wish to pass his troubles onto others.

After hearing what Casio says, the old man falls silent.

After a while, he finally speaks, “Then let’s drop it. Let’s discuss other matters. You mentioned that you want to trade an extremely precious secret technique for our high-level secret medicine of the Ringing Water Road?”

He pauses for a moment before asking, “Which aspects exactly does it involve?”

Casio puts down his teacup, “I need a medicine that can repair and heal life potential, and improve a person’s core bone talent.”

The old man slightly knits his brows.

“Such medicines are usually the most valuable. And regarding the repairing and healing of life potential that you mentioned, I’m not sure I completely understand. We do have secret medicine which can repair internal injuries and stabilize the aura. I wonder if it meets your requirements…”

“Furthermore, of course, we do have the secret medicine that can improve your core bone talent. However, most of these are effective only on young martial artists. There is only one called Black Valley Pills that can work on adult martial artists, with a very limited effect.”

The master of the Ringing Water Martial Art School explains thoroughly.

After finishing the introduction, he turns to Casio.

“Could you introduce the secret technique you’re trading with us?”

Casio nods and says, “The technique I’m offering is called the Heart-eye, primarily focusing on the five human senses…”

“Once a person fully cultivates the five senses through the Heart-eye Secret Technique, a sixth sense that allows one to anticipate the opponent’s moves will form. The technique mainly focuses on intuition and physical reactions during its cultivation process. Once perfected, it would be like having a third eye…”

“…”

With Casio’s introduction continuing, the spirit of the master of the Ringing Water martial arts school deepens. His technique is strikingly similar to a fighter’s aura, a sense of intuition manifested by the circulation of Qi and gravity around him.

Having been defeated easily by a gladiator with his aura during a spar, the old man is sensitive to abilities of this kind.

Based on Casio’s description, this secret technique called ‘Heart-eye’ is essentially a stripped-down version of the distinctive aura of fighters, isn’t it?

If fist-fighting masters could grasp this technique, it would be a significant boost for many of those who have already hit a plateau in their abilities. Of course, the improvement would be in combat strength rather than realm.

Moreover, would those prodigies who were originally gifted and could touch the bottlenecks of fist fighters and gladiators be able to experience the unique aura of gladiators after practicing the Heart-eye Secret Technique? Would they have an edge when trying to break through their bottlenecks?

These all remain uncertain.

One can only say that the Heart-eye Secret Technique is as precious as Casio claims it to be. The value of the specifics, though, would depend on the secret techniques themselves.

It isn’t until late afternoon, nearing dusk.

In the living room, Casio and the old man shake hands.

Both of them have smiles on their faces.

“Pleasure doing business with you.” ×2

The old man claps his hands, and immediately, someone carrying a hand suitcase comes over, standing next to the tea table. He carefully places pills, one bottle after another into the suitcase then closes it.

Meanwhile, Casio, from his pocket, takes out the remaining half of the secret manual.

The final exchange is made between both parties.

The old man nods satisfactorily, quickly scanning the content in the manual to make sure it is complete, then can’t resist asking a question.

“Mr. Twilight, you should only be trading with us at the Ringing Water Road… We should have more opportunities to cooperate in the future…”

His intend is rather straightforward.

Casio smiles and nods, “Of course.”

Subsequently, the same scene unfolded again at the Golden Rock Fist Dojo.

A bald man with thick eyebrows and large eyes shook hands with Casio.

The two nodded at each other.

“Mr. Dusk, we should have a lot more cooperation….”

By the time Casio finished everything, it was already the morning of June 7th. He carried his suitcase and left the Golden Rock Fist Dojo.

The view was filled with morning mist on the gray-white street.

Casio found his direction and swiftly walked away.

About a dozen seconds later, a silhouette stepped out from the dojo and quickly followed in the direction Casio had taken.

June 7th, at half past eight in the morning.

In a narrow, secluded alleyway.

A large bald man slowly relaxed his palm.

On the wall, a woman, with a sunken face and blood pouring out, collapsed with a thud, and her dagger fell on the ground.

The woman was wearing a red dress, with exposed skin that was unusually fair and a hot figure. She should have been a beauty, now completely disfigured by the fight.

The bald man shook off the blood from his hand, took a glance at the tear in his clothes and the untouched chest below it, and sneered.

“Assassin? Doesn’t even have a gun.”

“Is this Dusk’s so-called mysterious power? It’s nothing but…”

His sentence suddenly halted, and his silhouette blinked and charged out of the alley. The entire street was bustling with people, with the occasional car driving by.

But the figure in the trench coat had already disappeared.

“Goddamn it!”

The bald man punched the wall, leaving a dent.

Fragments of rock scattered on the ground.

He walked back into the alley with a gloomy face, casually grabbed the red-dressed woman by the hair, dragging her body away slowly.

At half past two in the afternoon, inside a single house in the city area.

Tom and Xia La were studying in the study room on the second floor.

On the first floor, in a wide empty room.

Three wooden barrels were placed in the corner one after another, each as large as a bathtub, all filled with different contents.

From left to right, they were filled with hot water, ice cubes, and sand.

Next to the barrels, there was a single table placed there.

On the table were two opened boxes.

Bottles of pills were sorted and placed on the left and right.

There were three types of secret medicines in total.

There were two from the Ringing Water Road martial art school. One was a white paste that could heal internal injuries and chronic diseases, and the other was Black Valley Pills which could slightly enhance the core bone talent of an adult secret martial artist. The Golden Rock Fist martial art school had one called Bone Eating Water, which could swiftly increase one’s cultivation realm.

These three were said to be the pinnacle of secret medicine within their respective schools, very precious. Even elders had to apply and make contributions in order to use them.

However, this time, Casio obtained quite a few of them.

He had as many as three bottles of white paste, and a total of five Black Valley Pills.

And half a bottle of Bone Eating Water the size of a fist.

He wondered if it could have an effect on Li Wei’s body…

After ingesting the white paste, one needs to soak in hot water, stimulate the pores to open, and continuously discharge the stagnated blood in the body.

After taking the Black Valley Pills, one needs to soak in cold water, even in ice cubes. This is because the process of enhancing the core bone will cause body heat to skyrocket, and if not cooled down, one may faint from the heat.

And finally, after drinking Bone Eating Water, the entire body cannot move an inch or all their previous efforts would be wasted. But it also causes excruciating pain, so one has to immobilise their body.

Usually, their whole body except the head is immersed in the sand.

Casio glanced at the three barrels and walked to the table on the left, reaching out to grab one of the bottles.
