Chapter 722
When Cheng Lan walked in from outside, he saw his old friend Wan Tinggu waiting for him with a child, smiling. His eyes fell on the child first. He already knew the child's situation from Brother Wan's letter, and he couldn't help feeling sorry for Brother Wan. But now he saw that the child was full of spirituality. If one didn't know the truth, one would not be able to tell that the child was born a mortal. It was obvious that Brother Wan had put a lot of effort into this child.
Yuan Jing followed his grandfather in greeting: "Yuan Jing greets Senior Cheng."
Cheng Lan smiled and touched the child's head: "I think this child is very smart."
Wan Tinggu enjoyed raising the child: "Of course, don't you see who is raising the child?"
Cheng Lan couldn't help laughing. This guy was actually feeling proud.
After reminiscing about the past with Wantinggu, Cheng Lan called Yuan Jing to his side to take his pulse and carefully check his physical condition to see if he had any chance to practice. Yuan Jing also looked at this senior Cheng Lan curiously. In the past few years, he had pestered his grandfather to read a lot of books about the fairyland, trying every means to understand the full picture of this fairyland. It turned out that this fairyland was the one that he had no chance to ascend to last time. He wondered what the friends he knew in that world were doing now.
In addition to his friends, he also made an enemy in this world. Now he thought that his mortal identity was just a cover-up. No matter how hard his enemy tried, he would never imagine that he was a mortal.
Wan Tinggu looked at Cheng Lan nervously. Cheng Lan looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "It's strange. Your grandson is obviously a mortal with no spiritual roots to cultivate, but why does he have a glass physique?"
Wan Tinggu also showed a surprised look: "Liuli physique? Are you sure?"
Cheng Lan glared at Wan Tinggu in annoyance and said, "How could I be wrong about such a crucial matter? It's just that I've never seen a colored glass body appear on a mortal. If it appeared on a cultivator, it would undoubtedly create a genius. You have to let me think about it. But even if he can't become an immortal, the colored glass body can save your grandson some suffering when he takes the path of physical cultivation."
The Glass Body is also called the Pure Glass Body, which means that the body is as clear and spotless as glass, without any impurities. Whether it is absorbing the immortal spirit or advancing, it will be much faster than others. This is a good physique that many cultivators desire.
Cheng Lan was discussing Yuan Jing's physical condition with Wantinggu. Yuan Jing sat quietly and listened. He might not know everything in the world, and this was indeed his first time in the fairyland, so he could absorb new knowledge.
Cheng Lan looked at him a few more times and was quite surprised by his expression. This kid didn't seem to mind his mortal qualifications. Could it be that he really didn't know how much of an impact this would have on him?
Cheng Lan touched his head and called out like Wantinggu: "Xiao Jing, do you want to practice?"
Yuan Jing nodded affirmatively: "I can practice."
Cheng Lan was amused: "Why don't you tell me how to practice? Your grandfather will worry about you until his hair turns white."
Wan Tinggu glanced at him. Who told him to say these nonsense to increase his grandson's pressure? Yuan Jing smiled and said, "The lowest level is to practice physical cultivation. People who practice physical cultivation may not be unable to achieve great success. As long as they have perseverance, they will definitely be able to go further."
"What about the best vehicle?" Cheng Lan asked, wanting to see if the child could say anything shocking.
Yuan Jing rolled his eyes in his heart. This was a test for him. He pretended to be innocent and said, "Since you don't have spiritual roots, why don't you just create a foundation? Isn't it possible with the methods of Grandpa and Senior Cheng?"
Good boy, you actually threw the question back to him. Cheng Lan laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, Brother Wan, you gave birth to a good grandson. I was thinking the same thing. If you don't have a spiritual root, can't you create one? What's more, this child has a glass physique, which makes this matter easier."
Wan Tinggu became excited: "What should we do?"
"Don't worry, the child is still young. There is plenty of time for you to prepare slowly." Cheng Lan comforted.
Cheng Lan really stayed there, and what he often did was to call Yuan Jing over to study his physique. Yuan Jing was also happy to have more contact with him, because by being with Cheng Lan, Yuan Jing could get access to more fairy books.
As for Wantingu, perhaps he always had to take into account his grandson's mortal physique and was unwilling to let him have much contact with the outside world, so as not to cause too many regrets. Therefore, Yuan Jing had to think of many ways to find books to read. If he was really a child, he might have been raised to be naive and think that the world outside was as big as this city.
Cheng Lan saw Yuan Jing reading a pharmacopoeia with great interest and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jing, are you interested in alchemy?"
Yuan Jing nodded and said, "Yes, I will become an alchemist in the future, but of course I will be more than just an alchemist."
Cheng Lan was amused: "You are a small kid, but you have such a big mouth. Why did you only make your grandpa anxious before?"
Yuan Jing sighed, "I have advised grandpa, but he wouldn't listen. He always worries about me." He would never admit that he actually enjoyed it.
Cheng Lan laughed. Did Brother Wan know that he had such a clever little thing? He even wanted to take it home to raise.
"Then I'll wait and see how much you achieve in the future, Xiaojing."
"Okay, I will definitely not let grandpa and Senior Cheng down." Yuan Jing said calmly, but in Cheng Lan's eyes, the child looked old-fashioned and very cute.
After research, Cheng Lan was able to come up with several plans, but none of them required rare treasures. Wantinggu hesitated after hearing this, as he couldn't go out to look for the necessary items with his grandson.
Cheng Lan couldn't stay for long, and said goodbye after staying here for half a year. Before leaving, he said that he would help Wantinggu keep an eye on the whereabouts of these items and find a way to get them for him, not only for his friend Wantinggu, but also for the kid Yuan Jing who caught his eye.
After Cheng Lan left, Wantinggu often sighed in private. Yuan Jing knew what his grandfather was worried about. After thinking about it, he finally made up his mind to tell his grandfather everything, because he could solve all the things that worried his grandfather by himself, and he had even thought of the final method of building the foundation.
"Grandpa," Yuan Jing, who was supposed to go to bed, sat in front of Wantingu and looked at him seriously, "I have something to say to Grandpa."
Wan Tinggu pinched his little face: "Just ask grandpa if you have any problem." As for him, his grandson would always respond to his requests. Of course, his grandson never made any excessive requests.
Yuan Jing was helpless. Life was really hard when he was a child. His face was pinched by his grandfather and even by his seniors. But who could he be a child now? Fortunately, his lover was not around.
"Grandpa, I can handle my health problems myself."
Wan Tinggu was surprised and asked, "Xiao Jing, how are you going to solve it yourself?"
Yuan Jing looked at him and said, "Grandpa, I never told you before, but I was born knowing this. I have the memories of several lifetimes, and this is not the first time I've been reduced to a mortal, so these things are nothing to me."
Wan Tinggu was really shocked this time: "But this... How is it possible? Then who were you in your previous life?"
Yuan Jing decided to be honest and not tell lies, at most he would not tell the whole story: "My name has always been Yuan Jing, but in my last life I was not in this world, but in another world of cultivation civilization. I also felt it when I first came to this world, that was when I was just born."
Wan Tinggu was stunned: "Then how do you treat your parents..."
Yuan Jingzhi nodded: "I know everything. They decided to give up on me because of my mortal body. I don't care, but fortunately my grandfather took me away from that home. Otherwise, I would definitely not be happy there. I just don't know if my grandfather would still recognize me now."
Wan Tinggu digested this information and suddenly laughed. He patted Yuan Jing on the head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who you were before had nothing to do with Grandpa, but now you are Grandpa's good grandson. Do you want to disown Grandpa?"
Yuan Jing also grinned and said, "No, why would I not recognize my grandfather?"
"That's it. Children should behave like children and not worry about adults' affairs all day long." Wan Tinggu said and then thought of what his grandson had just said. He coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Jing, what is the solution you proposed? Tell me and let grandpa see if it works."
Yuan Jing carried a space for cultivating immortals with him. This space for cultivating immortals had undergone tremendous changes since his previous life. Now, the space had all five elements, including light and darkness. It could be said that it had become a small world. However, this small world was still very fragile. This time, due to his mortal physique, Yuan Jing had already considered which path to take, whether to continue practicing the whole system as in his previous life or to take another path.
In his heart, Yuan Jing didn't want to repeat the path of his previous life, and wanted to take a completely new path, so he set his sights on the small world. What if he could directly build the small world into his foundation? Once this idea came up, he couldn't stop it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the path he should take.
Yuan Jing spoke very simply, trying not to mention the danger involved, but the more Wan Tinggu listened, his mouth opened wider and wider. Just from these understated descriptions, he could tell that his grandson was actually an extraordinary person. Not to mention that he was just a mortal now. Even if he was worse and worse, with his practice experience and various experiences, he could still reach the top again.
He suddenly clapped his legs and laughed, "Great! Great! It turns out that what your father said was true. He asked someone to calculate and said that your birth would bring great changes to the Xiahou family. Your father and mother are blind. They left such a treasure without cherishing it. They will regret it in the future."
Yuan Jing was speechless and said, "My mother is also my grandfather's daughter." Is there anyone who would say that about his own daughter?
Wan Tinggu shook his head: "She put her heart into that man and couldn't even protect her own child. She didn't listen to me. She is not a qualified daughter, nor a good mother. She will have to bear all the consequences in the future by herself."
