Chapter 52: Travel Planning, Four Years of Progress

Emma, who was beside him, looked at the blood bead with envy.

Having hung around with Louis, she knew very well how powerful that thing was, but unfortunately, Louis never had any intention of teaching her.

But he had clearly been performing these things in front of her all along!

Emma felt some longing in her heart, but she didn't speak up urgently.

After so many years, she could be considered to know Louis very well, knowing that he had a very firm mind, and getting annoyed would only make him dissatisfied.

Putting the blood bead away, Louis looked at the few corpses nearby, and seeing that none were mature, he stood up.

"Let's go, let's go back."

The two returned to the house in front.

Over the past four years, David's business had been booming, especially after the decline of the giant in the east became more and more obvious; life in America was simply in full swing, and all walks of life were developing vigorously.

David, who wanted to seize this wave of opportunities to break away from the ranks of the lower-class capitalists and become a true capitalist, naturally worked with all his might, and the number of times he returned home decreased accordingly.

However, no matter how busy he was, he would set aside time on weekends to accompany his family, and every year he would take his family out for travel, so the family's feelings were quite good.

Returning home, Jenny was cooking, and David happened to be at home, feeding the fish with feed. "You're back?"

"Hmm, does Dad have time today?"

Emma opened the refrigerator, took a cup of iced cola and handed it to Louis, then took a Häagen-Dazs for herself.

"Yes, there was an order these past two days, but whether it can succeed depends on luck. I had no way, so I came back first."

"Uncle David, the order over there?" Louis turned on the TV, took the iced cola, and asked while lying comfortably on the sofa.

"Hmm, it seems there was some internal conflict over there."

David nodded.

Not long ago, Louis had told him that there was profit to be made over in the Mao Xiong side, telling him to raise as much capital as possible to buy and buy, and also told him that the Kano gang was already doing this.

David, who was half-believing, tried it, and it really succeeded!

It was simply crazy over there now; they dared to sell anything. You have to know that they, America, and Mao Xiong were hostile countries!

As a result, even so, the other side's internal personnel dared to sell him some industrial machines. He even heard that as long as enough basic materials were given, the people above even dared to sell fighter jets!

It truly shocked him.

"Then Uncle David, keep it up; such opportunities probably won't last long."

David threw the last handful of feed to the goldfish inside, turned to look at Louis and Emma, and clapped his hands.

"Clap, clap!"

Seeing the two look over.

"Jenny and I have discussed it; you are about to graduate from middle school and move up. During the summer vacation, do you want to go out for a family trip together?"

Travel?

Louis once again subconsciously thought of the Crystal Lake camp incident from a few years ago, as well as Jason from Crystal Lake who had brushed past him north of the Crystal Lake camp.

He then realized that it wasn't as if they hadn't gone out for travel these past few years, and nothing had happened; he didn't know what he was afraid of.

Emma, who was beside him, naturally didn't care; Estero was a distant memory, and she really wasn't afraid.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll see if I can call Angela and her family to go for a picnic and see the scenery together." David appeared full of interest.

Suddenly, he remembered something. "Oh right, Angela is preparing to go out with Olivier these two days; I'll make a call later to ask."

After a while, Jenny finished cooking and came out. Over the years, Jenny had been well-behaved at home, doing laundry, cooking, and taking care of the children; she had done a very good job as a housewife.

However, Louis wouldn't forget that Yulunka killed people, and she had a share in it.

So, he had always had a sense of defense in his heart.

Dinner was served.

A golden dog that looked slender appeared from nowhere, first wagging its tail at Louis, then starting to eat at the dog bowl; it was Golden.

……

After eating.

Louis walked outside.

Emma ran to watch TV, and David made a call. The other end of the phone was quickly connected, and Angela's voice could be vaguely heard... Eden Lake community...

And at this time, Louis had already routinely gone to the temple next to the house to offer incense. Over the years, the incense had been flourishing, but the Kitchen God had not entrusted him with any more dreams.

However, Louis always maintained a respectful attitude; after all, he was his godfather.

After offering incense, he returned to his room.

He began to practice the static part of the Grain-Fasting Qi Guidance Chart; this had been his habit over the years. The time spent practicing Qi Gong every day accounted for a considerable proportion, and he practiced diligently without ever missing a day.

After four years, Louis couldn't be said to have been reborn, but he had made significant progress.

The medicinal power of the potion had been completely released. Now he was only twelve years old, but he looked like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen, and in terms of physical function, he was far beyond that.

Besides this, the practice of Qi Gong was the top priority. Unfortunately, this thing was a water-grinding effort, and he didn't know if it was because this cultivation method focused on the foundation and was therefore slow, or if Louis's compatibility in this aspect wasn't high; after four years, he was only proficient, and there was still some distance to mastery and the birth of internal Qi.

Qi Gong at the proficiency stage only meant a strong body, no diseases, and greatly increased strength; it seemed like nothing more than that.

But Louis, because he disliked that the lethality of the dynamic part of Qi Gong was too weak, happened to go in and learn it when the martial arts gym opened and started accepting disciples, and then he discovered the true use of this Qi Gong.

Improving the root bone!

The martial arts gym taught the family-inherited Bagua Palm, and he learned it all in just one year, and the power in his hands was much stronger than that of ordinary disciples.

According to the gym master, his root bone would have been top-notch even a hundred years ago; as long as he practiced diligently, he would be able to take on twenty people in the future. Unfortunately, the martial arts were incomplete; otherwise...

Louis didn't think this was a coincidence; the only reason could be the Qi Gong he practiced.

And besides Qi Gong, Louis also practiced the other five techniques he had opened that year.

He learned the Basin Exorcism Method easily.

He also learned the Swallowing Wealth Technique and had used it once. The next day, he lost a card with 100,000 dollars on it, which made him hate it bitterly.

Incidentally, Louis also tried to let others perform the final step, feeding the toad the target person's body tissue, but it was of no use; it seemed there was no way to glitch it.

As for the Chopstick-Clamping Method, because he was basically on a three-point-one-line path except for traveling a few times, he had had no opportunity to experiment with it to this day.

The Willow Leaf Golden Blade Art was a bit strange; he hadn't mastered it to this day. Writing that character command was truly difficult. Of course, this might also have something to do with his insufficient daily practice time.

As for the Blood Curse Art, it belonged to one that had progressed rapidly!

Of course, this might have to be attributed to the fact that there were too many raw materials here. With the gang as assistants, during the period he first practiced, he could catch two lower-class drug dealers every day, and sometimes he could catch a few human traffickers, hooligans, and the like.

The most wonderful thing was that the disappearance of these people didn't stir up a single wave!

It was as if they had never appeared!

The final result was a string of eighteen blood beads on Louis's wrist, two strings he carried on his body, and three strings locked in the cabinet in his room.

A full one hundred and eight beads!

Just right, wonderful!
