Opening his eyes, Li Rui discovered that he was covered in a foul smell of sweat. Without caring about anything else, he hurried to the nearby wooden tub to wash himself off.
"Haha, finally! I have reached the peak of body refinement! This speed is even a bit faster than I expected."
"The most crucial part is that I have actually gained a Divine Ability!"
The cold bathwater could not diminish the excitement in Li Rui's heart. It is known that usually only those at the Cleansing Realm have the chance to obtain a Divine Ability by coincidence.
Now that he had just reached the peak of body refinement, he had comprehended a Divine Ability, which felt like adding an external enhancement.
Li Rui tried to control his excitement as he approached the stone locks used for testing strength.
These stone locks were carved from specially heavy stones; they looked small but were extremely heavy.
Li Rui directly bypassed the one-thousand-pound stone lock and came to the two-thousand-pound stone lock.
It should be noted that generally, after breaking through to the peak of body refinement, a person could only lift about one thousand pounds with one hand. Li Rui was directly challenging double that.
Li Rui reached out and lifted the stone lock, feeling it was light and natural, without any sense of effort.
This did not surprise Li Rui, as he had previously managed to lift one thousand eight hundred pounds with some difficulty.
Next, he moved on to the two thousand five hundred-pound lock, which still felt effortless to him.
Then, Li Rui stood before the three thousand-pound stone lock and finally felt its weight, finding it somewhat strenuous to lift.
Li Rui estimated that this was about his limit.
In other words, Li Rui currently possessed a single-handed strength of three thousand pounds, roughly three times that of an ordinary peak body refiner!
Not only that, after taking a deep breath, Li Rui suddenly activated the Divine Ability he had just obtained. He felt a jolt of energy surge through him, invigorating his blood and spirit.
In front of the 4,500-pound Stone Lock, Li Rui steadily lifted the Stone Lock.
A tremendous force of 4,500 pounds!
Li Rui was extremely excited.
This Divine Ability should be called "Enhancement." When he comprehended it just now, some information naturally came to Li Rui's understanding.
Its effect should be to increase physical strength by about five times and speed by approximately two times, lasting for one minute.
Speed is difficult to perceive intuitively, but his strength has indeed increased by five times!
If this were activated suddenly during a battle, it would definitely surprise the enemy.
"Ha ha, who else? Who else! I will be invincible in the world from now on, ha ha..."
"How lonely it is to be invincible..."
Li Rui excitedly began to sing.
"Feng Family's children, just wait. In a couple of days, I'll let you taste my fists."
Now that he had reached the peak of body training, the Feng Family's patience would soon run out, and they wouldn't gain anything here.
It was best to clarify things quickly—revenge for grievances and settling scores was the right choice.
Li Rui had finally waited for this moment to collect some interest for his missing parents.
Li Rui was too excited to sleep.
However, on the second day, Li Rui still had to continue acting.
Early in the morning, after the morning practice, Ping'er served Li Rui as usual for his washing. After Li Rui washed his face, she timidly asked:
"Young Master, what will happen to Ping'er if we can't pay the money? They... they won't really kill us, will they?"
"Hmm?"
Li Rui raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing she was trying to test him.
After deliberately remaining silent for a moment, Li Rui replied:
"Don't be afraid. I have a way to solve this."
"Really? Young Master, what method do you have? Is it really something like that..."
Ping'er jumped with excitement.
"Shh!"
Li Rui made a gesture for silence and said:
"This matter cannot be known by anyone. After three days, prepare two horses in the evening. I will take you to a secret place—no one can know, understand?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Ping'er quickly nodded, her eyes brightening.
"Alright, let's eat first. What did you cook today, Ping'er?"
Li Rui smiled lightly and walked towards the table.
Since the bait had been thrown out, the fish that had been watching him for years would naturally take the hook, including the big fish hidden behind her, which would also chase after the bait.
"Young Master, Ping'er made you Thunder Bull Rice Porridge and Golden Celery today."
Ping'er was completely unaware of this and continued to faithfully play her role, chattering about the dishes she had prepared for Li Rui.
The two of them laughed and enjoyed their meal, creating a warm scene, but both understood that such days were numbered.
To be precise, everything would change in three days.
This three-day period was actually the adjustment time Li Rui had set for himself. He needed to organize his plans, fill in the gaps, and prepare what was necessary.
At the same time, Li Rui also needed time to familiarize himself with his suddenly enhanced cultivation level and the Divine Ability he had just acquired.
Three days later.
At night, after most people had gone to sleep, Li Rui quietly left the hospital with Ping'er. They mounted two dark brown horses that had been prepared in advance and left the town, galloping away.
Of course, behind them, there were still a few tails unwilling to part ways.
After a series of stops and starts during their journey, they arrived at Shouyang Mountain, five hundred miles away.
Shouyang Mountain stretches for two hundred miles and is located at the junction of Liu Pingzhou in Guang'an Prefecture. The cliffs rise steeply, presenting a breathtaking view. Although it cannot be compared to Mount Tai, it still possesses grandeur and is rich in spiritual essence.
When they reached the foot of the mountain, it was already late. Li Rui and Ping'er casually found an inn to rest at.
The next day was August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The two strolled around the town market for half a day before starting their ascent to the peak of Shouyang Mountain in the afternoon.
As the Sun was about to set, the two finally reached the Summit.
There was only one side that could barely be climbed, while the other side was a steep inward cliff. The Summit was relatively flat, with a few scattered giant rocks standing here and there.
The mountain wind was biting, causing their clothes to flap loudly. Standing on the Summit, they gazed at the Sunset that was about to sink below the horizon, feeling the grandeur of nature.
"Young Master, why did you bring me here?"
After standing in silence for a moment, Ping'er could no longer hold back her question.
At this time and place, aside from those with ulterior motives, no one would appear here; this was a location carefully chosen by Li Rui.
However, these things could not be told to Ping'er just yet; the play had to continue.
"Today is the fifteenth day of the eighth month. At this time every year, when the Full Moon rises, as long as we look towards the Southwest from here and see something unusual, that is where the Fortune lies."
Li Rui smiled as he spoke to her.
"Do you mean that if we are here, we can find the Fortune left by your ancestors?"
Li Rui smiled without answering.
"Hahaha, I see now! Hard work pays off. The Feng Family has finally achieved its wish. We have learned your Li Family's secret. Li Rui, thank you so much!"
Amidst Arrogant's loud laughter, Feng Yi and Feng Qi finally revealed themselves as they climbed up to the Summit, facing Li Rui directly.
"Oh, you followed us. So what do you plan to do now that you know my Li Family's secret?"
"Hahaha, what else? Of course, we will kill you to silence you and take your family's possessions for ourselves. Finally, I won't have to be entangled with you anymore. How happy I am! So, how do you like this burial ground?"
Feng Yi finally tore off his hypocritical mask, revealing his originally ferocious face.
"I don't think dying here is such a big deal! This is Shouyang Mountain, said to be the gathering place of extreme yang energy. Those who die here will have their souls scorched by the yang energy, making it impossible to preserve them. Even if one is lucky enough to retain a fragment of their soul, they cannot be reincarnated and can only wander as a confused ghost, forever unable to transcend."
"Haha, if that's the case, then that's truly miserable. However, whether you live or die is not up to you!"
Feng Qi wore a mocking smile on his face.
"Oh, do you really think you two can make me die here?"
Li Rui scoffed dismissively.
"Mm?"
The Feng Family brothers, who initially thought Li Rui would panic, were taken aback and asked:
"What? Do you, this useless piece of trash, have some hidden ability to save your life?"
"Enough with the nonsense; why don't you come and try it for yourselves!"
Li Rui sneered and waved his hand at the two.
