"Master, Master, something terrible has happened! Yuanbao has gotten fat!"
Yi Cheng ran back nervously and told Qin Shou what had happened.
Behind them, Little Fatty and Black Rabbit hurriedly ran back, carrying a gold ingot that was swollen like a ball.
"Drowning?"
Qin Shou seemed to be used to this kind of situation.
A wisp of spiritual energy gently emanated from her fingertip and touched Xiao Yuanbao's stomach.
*Pfft*
Suddenly, water spurted high from the little guy's mouth, lasting for dozens of breaths before stopping.
"Cough cough..."
The little guy coughed a few times, opened his innocent big eyes, and then hugged Qin Shou's leg and cried.
"Wow~, Master, why could my dad catch fish when he was three years old, but I can't?"
"Little Yuanbao, be good. If you can't catch it the first time, you'll be able to next time."
Qin Shou patted the little guy's head to comfort him.
"Really? "
Xiao Yuanbao stared wide-eyed at his innocent and adorable eyes.
"Hehe, really."
Qin Shou nodded with a smile.
Then he looked up and instinctively wanted to scold Yicheng.
To everyone's surprise, as soon as they looked up, they saw that Yi Cheng and the others had already hidden behind an old mulberry tree dozens of meters away, clinging to the trunk, with only their small eyes peeking out as they nervously stared at them.
"well..... "
Qin Shou looked at this scene and raised his eyebrows helplessly.
I've lost count of how many times I've been scolded like this, but these little idiots seem to have no memory and never learn.
At this moment, Changsheng, who was in the back mountain, heard the news, grabbed a broom, and ran to the front mountain with a glare and a broom in his eyes.
"Yi Cheng, you come here right now."
The elder said angrily:
"Tell me, how many times has this happened... Last time when he was playing 'tossing high,' he broke Yuanbao's leg; the time before that, when I was teaching him to climb bamboo, his butt almost split into eight pieces; and the time before that, if I hadn't stopped him in time, you would have made him perform breaking a boulder on his chest."
Now you've taken him to the river to catch fish again... You... You... You're driving me crazy!
"You come here right now, don't you dare run away, I'm going to beat you up today."
Changsheng raised a broom as if to hit him.
Upon seeing this, Yi Cheng turned and ran away.
He shouted as he ran:
"Senior Brother, Yuanbao insisted on playing with the tossing game, and he also asked the goose to teach him how to climb the bamboo. The goose really didn't do it on purpose..."
"What about breaking a large rock on your chest?"
"The goose...the goose wants to give him some training."
"You...you...stop right there!!!"
Changsheng roared angrily from behind, chasing for half an hour but still couldn't catch up, and he was so tired that he squatted down on the spot, panting heavily.
"Master, aren't you going to do anything about her?"
Changsheng had no choice but to return and complain.
"We've already controlled it, we've already beaten them, all that's left is to slaughter them."
Qin Shou turned his head and looked at Chang Sheng, "How about we kill her and stew her with fatty meat for lunch?"
Longevity:........
"Alright, Yuanbao, come back to the back mountain with me."
Changsheng picked up Yuanbao.
Yuanbao stared wide-eyed and said, "Uncle-Master Changsheng, I want to play with Junior Aunt."
Changsheng: ? ? ? ?
"Have you forgotten? You were just playing with her and almost drowned!"
"But...I want to play with my junior aunt!"
Xiao Yuanbao poked his two little fingers together.
Changsheng is emo.
......
noon.
Xiao Yuanbao was eating while lying on the table.
Yi Cheng and the others were punished by Qin Shou and made to stand in the courtyard.
"Master, the goose is hungry."
Yi Cheng shouted from outside the house.
She could smell the aroma of meat coming from inside the house from a great distance.
"Being hungry is just right; a few more times of hunger will teach them a lesson."
Qin Shou's calm voice drifted out from inside the house.
"~( ′?︵?` )~ Hmph~~~"
Yi Cheng clutched the hem of her clothes, looking somewhat unhappy.
I've already skipped several meals this month; I'm really missing out.
"Yi Cheng, can I conjure up a roast chicken for us?"
At this moment, the chubby boy said slyly.
Yi Cheng and Hei Tu's little eyes lit up immediately, and they nodded repeatedly, "Great! Great! Little Fatty is so clever!"
The poor little chubby boy was just about to take out his wishing pearl to make a wish when he tragically discovered that his wishing pearl was gone. Thinking he had lost it, he immediately lay on the ground and burst into tears.
"Waaaaah~~, my wishing pearl is gone~~~"
"Little Fatty, don't cry yet. He might be lost in the mountains. We'll go look for him tomorrow."
Yi Cheng rolled her clever little eyes and said.
"Okay, let's go find it now."
Little Fatty got up and was about to rush down the mountain when Yi Cheng grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"Shh~, Fatty, the geese are still being punished by standing in the corner. If you run away now, Master will beat them again, and he'll hang you from a tree for days without feeding you."
"That's true."
Little Fatty wholeheartedly agreed, after all, she could distinguish between a single meal and every meal.
"Alright then, we'll look for it tomorrow. Sigh..."
The chubby boy frowned, his face full of sorrow, and sighed.
Inside the room, Qin Shou held a wishing pearl and slowly stuffed it into his bosom.
"Yuanbao, you're three years old now, you can start cultivating."
"Starting this afternoon, you will begin your cultivation with your master."
Qin Shou spoke.
Xiao Yuanbao looked up, "Grandmaster, if I cultivate, will I be able to climb bamboo as fast as my junior aunt?"
Qin Beast: "........."
"Yes. "
Qin Shou nodded. "Not only is he incredibly fast at climbing bamboo, but he can also catch fish with deadly accuracy."
"Hee hee hee, Master, then I must cultivate diligently!"
Xiao Yuanbao mustered his courage and cheered himself on, shouting, "My junior aunt said I was so clumsy last time! When I can cultivate, I want to climb bamboo with her, and I'll climb faster than her!"
"Uh...that's a good ambition!"
Hearing that mesmerizing laughter, Qin Shou was both amused and exasperated.
This little guy seems to have been too influenced by Yi Cheng.
I wonder what they will think when they meet again.
"Eat quickly. When you become skilled in cultivation, you'll not only be able to climb bamboo, but you'll also be able to fly."
Qin Shou wiped the rice grains from the corner of the little guy's mouth and chuckled leisurely.
"Uh-huh. "
Xiao Yuanbao nodded repeatedly and picked up the rice bowl on the table, shoveling rice into his mouth.
......
The afternoon sun was gentle.
The little ones stood in the yard, tiptoeing and swaying from side to side, quite restless.
In the alchemy room, Qin Shou refined a cauldron of medicinal liquid to strengthen his foundation.
Over the years, although Yuanbao has not officially started cultivating, Qin Shou has made him take a medicinal bath every day.
If cultivation is like building a skyscraper, then naturally the more stable the foundation, the higher the building can be.
Many people don't have the necessary conditions in their childhood, so sometimes this situation occurs. For example, a person may have decent talent, aptitude, and comprehension, and their original upper limit might be the Void Realm. However, because there were too many impurities in their physical body when they were young, they didn't have the opportunity to temper their foundation. Later, during cultivation, their foundation did not reach a certain level of stability, which caused their upper limit to stop at the Divine Transformation Realm.
This situation is not rare, but rather quite common.
This is why 99% of the world's most outstanding talents come from aristocratic families, prestigious clans, and powerful lineages.
While talent and innate ability are certainly important.
However, "resources" are the highest hurdle that cannot be overcome on the path of cultivation.
Xiao Yuanbao is Xiao Xuan's son, and naturally he inherited the unique bloodline of the Xiao royal family of the Vermilion Bird Dynasty. However, the strength of his bloodline is far from comparable to that of his father. After all, Xiao Xuan later awakened the Vermilion Bird God bloodline in the Nine Heavens Secret Cave and obtained the Vermilion Bird God's inheritance. Moreover, he had been cultivating the Vermilion Bird Treasure Book given to him by the system since childhood.
Qin Shou also examined Yuanbao's aptitude; while not quite at the level of a prodigy, it was still excellent.
As for his talent and comprehension, we can't see anything yet; we'll only be able to glean some insight after he's cultivated further.
"Yuanbao, take off all your clothes and come inside."
Qin Shou spoke in a gentle voice.
"Uh-huh. "
Xiao Yuanbao nodded obediently, then took off his clothes and climbed naked into the cauldron.
Xiao Yuanbao was a bit chubby and short. Even though he stood on a small stool and tried to climb into the cauldron for a long time, he still couldn't get in. Every time, Qin Shou had to lift his little bottom up so that he could crawl in.
Thump!
Xiao Yuanbao fell into the cauldron.
Spiritual energy rippled within the cauldron, as if it possessed buoyancy, supporting Xiao Yuanbao as he floated within it.
"That's exactly one thousand times today."
Qin Beast murmured, white light swirling in its chest cavity, runes intertwining, and a wisp of purple aura slowly emerging.
This is the primordial purple energy. When the purple gourd was born, it produced seven strands of primordial purple energy, all of which were captured by the Qin beast.
This wisp of primordial purple energy can not only transform the physique of a child who has not yet cultivated, but also has the potential to transform the acquired physical body into the innate one.
However, if the mother absorbs this wisp of primordial purple energy during the fetal stage, the effect will be even better.
"go. "
Qin Shou gently raised his palm, and the Primordial Purple Qi slowly floated in, flowing into Xiao Yuanbao's body through his brow.
Immediately afterwards, with a "hum", Xiao Yuanbao's small body trembled, and purple aura permeated his body, setting off the little guy's fair skin and making him look very holy, like a young holy child.
"Yuanbao is still young, so this wisp of primordial purple energy can remain within his body, continuously cleansing it until it is fully absorbed and refined."
Qin Shou withdrew his gaze and smiled slowly.
“Yuanbao, the path of cultivation is long and arduous. Below the path of immortality, there are nine realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Transformation, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcending, and Mahayana.”
The Qi Refining Realm is the first stage of cultivation. The cultivation of cultivators in this realm mainly includes three steps: first, gathering Qi; second, drawing Qi into the body; and third, tempering the physical body.
The Qi Refining Realm involves repeatedly going through these three steps to temper one's physique and enhance physical strength.
Once your physical body has improved to a certain level, you can enter the second realm of cultivation: the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Did you understand?
Qin Shou explained the matters concerning cultivation to Xiao Yuanbao in detail.
"Master, I understand."
Xiao Yuanbao nodded seriously.
"Alright, I will now teach you a cultivation technique."
Qin Shou extended two fingers and gently placed them on Xiao Yuanbao's forehead. Golden runes flooded into Xiao Yuanbao's mind.
This is the first chapter of the Vermilion Bird Manual left by Xiao Xuan, enough for this little guy to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.
Having the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird, cultivating the Vermilion Bird Manual is naturally the most suitable thing for him.
"Little Yuanbao, try breathing exercises following the images and words in your mind first?"
Qin Shou opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
"Uh-huh. "
Xiao Yuanbao nodded, closed his eyes, and began to practice according to the diagrams in his mind.
At this moment, a faint crimson pattern appeared on the surface of his skin, which was the resonance of the Vermilion Bird bloodline.
Half an hour later, when the medicinal power inside the cauldron was completely absorbed and the liquid became thin and transparent, Qin Beast finally scooped Xiao Yuanbao out.
"Alright, go play for a while. You'll continue cultivating tomorrow, and from now on, you must cultivate for three full hours every day, understand?"
"Huh? Do I need to cultivate for three hours?"
Xiao Yuanbao scratched his head. "My junior aunt said she only cultivates for one hour a day!"
"Your junior aunt is your junior aunt, and you are you. Do you still want to climb bamboo faster than your junior aunt?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuanbao nodded.
"Then you have to cultivate even harder than her, understand?"
"Yes, I understand, Master. I will cultivate diligently."
Xiao Yuanbao responded with a shout, then happily rushed out of the house to play.
......
"Little Martial Aunt, Little Martial Aunt, let's play on the swings together!"
The first thing Xiao Yuanbao did when he ran into the courtyard was to play with his beloved little aunt.
"Yuanbao, go away, go away! The goose is still being punished by standing in the corner."
Yi Cheng poked Xiao Yuanbao's little belly with her tiny finger and said angrily, "Little Yuanbao, it's all your fault for being so tender! You can catch fish, but why are you drinking water? Now look what happened, Master didn't give you any goose rice for lunch."
Xiao Yuanbao first looked down at his swollen belly, then looked up with wide eyes and said, "Junior Aunt, there's still food in the kitchen. I'll go get you some."
“But Master won’t let the goose eat,” Yi Cheng said, pouting.
"Junior Aunt, I just saw Master go to the back mountain to find Uncle Changsheng."
"Ah! Yuanbao, hurry and get some more meat."
Yi Cheng waved her little hand and urged.
"Uh-huh. "
Xiao Yuanbao nodded his little head, having received his junior aunt's instructions. He rushed into the kitchen and came out carrying a plate of roast goose.
"Yuanbao, you're too small. Your Auntie Little Fatty and Uncle Black Rabbit haven't eaten yet."
Yi Cheng urged Xiao Yuanbao to go back and get more.
"Oh, little aunt, I'll go get it again, hee hee hee..."
Xiao Yuanbao laughed loudly and rushed into the kitchen again.
Half an hour later, Yi Cheng and the others finally finished eating.
She started playing with her little Yuanbao on a swing under the tree.
"Goose, goose, goose... This is so much fun, little aunt! Push harder, I want to fly even higher!"
"Okay, little Yuanbao."
Yi Cheng stuffed the half-eaten chicken leg into her mouth, then grabbed the swing with both hands and swung it around violently.
"Goose, goose, goose, so much fun!"
Xiao Yuanbao was laughing happily one second ago, but the next second, with a "whoosh," he turned into a speck and flew away.
"Aaaaaah—, Junior Aunt, help me!!!"
Xiao Yuanbao was so frightened that he screamed.
Yi Cheng held the large chicken leg in her hand, her small eyes looking completely bewildered.
"The goose didn't exert any effort! The goose really didn't exert any effort!"
Yi Cheng shouted frantically, "Little Fatty, Little Fatty, make a wish!"
"Okay, okay, oh—Yi Cheng, my wishing pearl is gone, what should I do, what should I do?"
The chubby boy immediately jumped up and down in a panic.
Upon seeing this, Yi Cheng immediately leaped towards the edge of the cliff.
However, at that moment, Da Mei, who was returning from picking flowers on the back mountain, saw this and, holding up the wishing pearl, made a wish:
"Om Mani Padme Hum, I pray to our great ancestors, that Yuanbao may grow a pair of little wings..."
"Goose, goose, goose, Auntie Da Mei, I'm flying!"
Xiao Yuanbao fluttered his little wings and flew back, happily circling around Da Mei.
"Little Yuanbao, it's time for your homework."
