One month later. As usual, the sky was still dark as they ran up the mountain. However, this was not running, but doing what he was most excited about during the day — collecting magical beasts. Ever since the completion of the iron cage mousetrap, Tian Cheng didn't have to stay there every night. He only needed to place his traps in the evening and go to the ready results in the morning. In the past month, Tian Cheng had been happy almost every morning. The best harvest would be when all five cages were full. In that case, Tian Cheng would be happy for a whole day without closing his mouth. Over the past month, there had been an average of around two per day. The specialized iron cages built at home to store Earth Arowana were almost all full, and each iron cage could hold up to four, while Tian Cheng could make ten last time. There were another twenty or so, and Tian Cheng sold them all one by one. The owners of almost all the magical beast shops in the town were becoming more familiar with Tian Cheng, and their attitude towards him was much better than before. Right now, Tian Cheng was no different from the God of Fortune. This pet type of magical beast had a much higher profit than the other magical beasts. However, every time, Tian Cheng would always sell one or two of them, and he would also constantly change shops. Having experienced the horrors of killing someone for their goods, Tian Cheng was extremely cautious before doing anything. However, no matter how secretive he was, he was still targeted by some people.

However, his body did not have any problems because of this, and on the contrary, it was getting tougher and tougher. He felt that after living his entire life until now, he had finally lived the life he wanted to live. His grandson had already grown up, and with just a few moves, he had earned money that he could not earn even after struggling for more than half of his life. Every day, he would smile happily at the group of little fellows and carefully take care of their lives. He whispered to the group of old men, "Knowledge is money!"

The conditions at home were improving day by day, and everything was being improved, even some natural conditions that shouldn't have been created for it. For example, several sets of fashionable furniture, safe cabinets, private research rooms, and gymnasiums, most of which were built with the help of Luke. Judging from the equipment of this family, they could at least be considered as high-ranked commoners. With a monthly income of more than 300 gold coins, if a small noble were to find out, they would have committed suicide by smashing their head into a wall.

Tian Cheng quickly arrived at the first place to place the trap. "No," he muttered as he looked at the empty cage. However, he still maintained his excitement and went to the second one, "Still no." Then he came to the third and the fourth. Tian Cheng hesitated. "Isn't there one more yesterday?" So it's all gone today? It seems like I have to think of some new tricks! " Tian Cheng was also starting to realize that the Earth Dragon-pulling Mouse was already prepared for the cage.

When he saw the cage, he couldn't help but be shocked. However, it wasn't because there was prey inside, but because the entire cage had been broken down. Each of the metal rods had fallen to the side, leaving behind less than half of their original lengths. Tian Cheng picked up one of them and tossed it into the distance without even looking at it. To him, this sort of thing was not strange at all. But this time, he was wrong.

Without any results, Tian Cheng's mood did not change. He was still in his best condition for the entire day's training. After a month of training, he had finally broken away from his previous malnourished body and advanced to rank 1. This was a good start.

He took off his jacket, revealing his healthy, wheat-colored skin. The outline of his muscles began to take shape, and with a serious look in his eyes, he began the first project — running. Compared to him a month ago, he could be said to be as fast as flying now, even he himself was scared by his own speed. If this was placed on Earth, he could easily become a champion, but thinking about it, he felt relieved. He was too weak at the time, so he couldn't feel it. However, as his strength increased, the effects of the transformation became more obvious, and he progressed much faster than the others.

This time, it took him two hours to run five full laps before he finally stopped, panting heavily. In the past, no matter how hard he had tried, he had never broken through to the first level, but now, his grandson had reached the first level in only a month's time. Moreover, with his current speed, breaking through to the second level would not take long at all.

Looking at Tian Cheng's departing back, the old man sighed, "I'm really confused. Why didn't I let him walk this path in the past? I never thought that this child would have such great talent. He's just like his father! " Actually, the old man had also thought for a long time before letting Tian Cheng walk the path of a Saint Master. If he couldn't reach a high level in this area, he wouldn't be able to take revenge either. There were many reasons that led to his death. When he was just a small mercenary, he had seen too many fights and killings. He could not bear to see his grandson lead such a life, so he made up his mind. However, the old man's last sentence was wrong. Tian Cheng didn't have any talent in cultivation, and it was all due to his own hard work.

Just like running, Tian Cheng also increased the distance by five times. To swim to five kilometers before returning, this was already the limit of Tian Cheng's current level. From a month ago, Tian Cheng would add a bit of energy to his body every day to ensure that he could linger around the edge of life and death. He used up the last bit of potential that he had. Tian Cheng lay limply on the shore, trying his best to keep his mind clear. He chuckled as he walked slowly home.

The old man had already prepared a sumptuous lunch to wait for him. It was like this every day. After a beautiful lunch, Tian Cheng teased the little guy in the cage and then continued his afternoon training. He did some standard training programs like sit-ups, push-ups, squats, and so on. Before, he calculated by the number of times, but later he found that counting by the number of hours was too troublesome. However, what Tian Cheng obtained was not a simple increase in numbers. He discovered that he had fallen in love with training, the feeling of lingering on the brink of death, or the joy of breaking through his body's limit and succeeding.

Today was the last day of the first phase of the plan, and the harvest was far greater than he had expected. In the evening, the grandfather and grandson duo celebrated, and for the first time, Tian Cheng drank this world's wine. The taste was not too bad, and the concentration was not too high.

After three rounds of drinking, the old man and Tian Cheng's faces were slightly red. The old man took a gulp and loudly said, "Grandson, do you know? "At this moment, grandfather is at his happiest moment of his life. He doesn't have to worry about his life and will go through days that will not happen tomorrow, where he can drink delicious wine without worry and have such an outstanding grandson. Even if he dies, grandpa will have no regrets in his life." Although his voice was not as loud and clear as that of a young man, every word of his was able to shake the heart of the heavens.

"Grandfather, don't say such ominous words. Our lives have only just begun. Our future days will be even more wonderful and blissful."

The old man also realized that his words were a bit off. He raised his wine glass and laughed, "Right, Grandpa shouldn't have said that. I'll punish myself with a cup. I hope our lives will be better, haha!" As he spoke, he drained his cup in one gulp. The two of them chatted until it was very late before they returned to their rooms. Tian Cheng did not simply fall asleep. Instead, he sat at his desk and quietly pondered over something.
