Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 217 How difficult is it?
First, improve your strength.

Now his body has reached perfection. What remains is to slowly condense the innate energy and fill it into his body.

The second point is to show your power in front of the villagers, so that when difficulties arise, you can command everyone and overcome them.

Xu Ran was confident that with his extensive experience, he could easily crack even the venomous snake that slaughtered the village.

Soon, night fell, and smoke rose from Xu Ran's house, and the smell of fireworks came out of the kitchen chimney. Lian Ji was cooking dinner at this time.

Soon, Xu Binghu returned to the yard with the prey and a bag of animal milk. He walked into the kitchen first, sniffed his nose, and said with satisfaction.

"My wife's cooking skills are so good. The food she makes is so delicious. I am so lucky to be able to enjoy such cooking skills!"

Lian Ji glanced at him and said, "You're so smooth-talking. You've been eating my cooking for so long, and you're not tired of it yet?"

"How can I get tired of it? I can eat it for my whole life and never get tired of it!"

The couple had a brief joke, and Xu Binghu went to wash up. After Lian Ji finished the work at hand, she prepared the animal milk and brought it to Xu Ran.

At this time, Xu Ran was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, very focused.

Seeing this, Lian Ji just glanced at him indifferently, put the animal milk in front of him, and left.

Although he was a little confused, Xu Ran had been meditating in the middle of the yard before, but after noon today, he actually returned to the bed to meditate. However, he did not find any problems, so he left.

There are too many secrets about her son, and she can't find them all. She just needs to know that her son is healthy.

Xu Ran opened his eyes, picked up the animal milk in front of him, and sipped it.

Now, he has an indelible moonlight and morning glow in his body, and he no longer needs to meditate in the middle of the yard. He is not a person who can endure hardships without any effort. The bed is more comfortable, so why not meditate on the bed.

Xu Ran sucked while thinking carefully about what to do next.

Soon, he heard the sound of his father, Xu Binghu, finishing washing up and then walking straight towards the kitchen.

"In four months, the innate spiritual body has evolved into an innate divine body. The vocal cords have also become stronger, and now I can speak." Xu Ran thought.

Xu Ran didn't speak before, because he could clearly feel that his vocal cords were too fragile. If he spoke, his vocal cords might be damaged, so he didn't speak.

But now, his innate divine body has been perfected, his whole body has experienced baptism again, and his vocal cords have been strengthened and become stronger, allowing him to speak.

Now that he can speak, we can't let him imitate a baby's babbling to express himself, even though he is a baby anyway.

Immediately, he took the animal milk and walked to the kitchen with crooked steps but extremely balanced body. Under the surprised gaze of Lian Ji and Xu Binghu, he jumped onto the chair, with his legs hanging in the air, swaying back and forth.

Lian Ji, "Xiao Ran, do you want to have dinner with us? That's great!"

Xu Binghu said, "When Xiao Ran grows up a little bit, he will be able to eat the delicious meals made by his wife."

When Xu Binghu was teasing Xu Ran, he did not forget to praise his wife's delicious food.

Lian Ji was very happy when she heard this. She looked at Xu Binghu and Xu Ran with a smile on her face, feeling very happy.

Xu Ran put the animal milk down, muttered, and said, "I'm a child, it's better for me to drink milk!"

Lian Ji smiled and said, "Yes! Our Xiao Ran is still a child, so it's better to drink animal milk. It's rich in nutrition, and he will definitely become a strong man in the future!"

Xu Binghu, "That's right! Our Xiao Ran is wrong!"

Xu Binghu suddenly shouted, "No, who was talking just now?"

Lian Ji also realized at this time that her son was only a four-month-old baby, how could he possibly speak?

"who is it?"

The two looked around, trying to find any clues.

At this time, Xu Ran raised his little hand and said, "It's me, your dear son, speaking!"

The two followed the little hand and looked towards the source of the voice, and found that it was indeed their son, Xu Ran, who was speaking.

The two went from being confused at the beginning to being surprised now.

Lian Ji quickly picked up Xu Ran and carefully wiped the milk stains from the corner of his mouth with her hands.

"Xu Ran is only four months old and he can already speak. What a genius!"

Xu Binghu also echoed, "Xu Ran can speak now. My wife won't be so bored when she's alone at home!"

Lian Ji glanced at him and said, "I'm not bored at home. I have Xiao Ran to accompany me. Even if I just watch him sleep, I don't feel bored."

"Haha, my lady is right!"

After dinner, the couple kept teasing Xu Ran, asking him to talk more to prevent him from only saying one sentence.

Xu Ran had a look of helplessness on his face. How could he not know what his parents were thinking? He answered their questions fluently. The two were very satisfied and were completely sure that their son could really speak. His answers were fluent and logical, not like a child who had just learned to speak.

Although the couple had long known that their son was a genius, one thing after another kept happening, leaving them dazed.

During this dinner conversation, Xu Ran also expressed his wish to go out.

After learning of his son's intention, Xu Binghu stopped going up the mountain to hunt. He insisted on wandering around the village with his son and Lian Ji, saying that he wanted to protect the mother and son.

However, Xu Ran knew in his heart that although he said he was protecting his son, he actually wanted to show off in front of others. His son was a genius. In just four months, he could walk fluently and speak. If he told others about this, he would be proud!

Such a thing cannot be enjoyed by his wife alone.

The next day, before dawn, Xu Ran had already gotten up, sat cross-legged on the bed, and continued practicing.

Although he no longer wants to be baptized by the morning glow, his consistent self-discipline is always engraved in his heart. After all, slaughtering a village with a poisonous snake is no small matter.

When the sun shone into the room and Xu Ran's reflection as he sat cross-legged fell on the couple's faces, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Xu Ran sitting cross-legged on the bed. He was stunned at first, then relieved.

Immediately, the two of them tiptoed out of the room, washed, had breakfast, and then dressed up. Today was the day they were taking Xu Ran out to show off in public, so they couldn't be too simple.

At noon, Xu Ran opened his eyes, drank the animal milk that Lian Ji prepared for him, then got out of bed and walked step by step to the center of the yard.

At this time, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji had just finished lunch.

"Dad, Mom, you said you would take me out to play today." The baby's unique milky voice echoed in the yard, not loud enough for people to hear clearly.

Hearing their son's voice, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji hurried out.

When Xu Ran saw his parents, his eyes widened.

Xu Binghu was seen wearing a dark blue round-necked robe. The fabric was soft, like catkins in the wind, fresh and elegant, just like a calm gentleman.

However, one can vaguely see the strong muscles hidden under the clothes.

Lian Ji was wearing a long brocade dress, her face was rosy, like the rising morning glow, her skirt swayed in the breeze, like clouds entwined in the air, she looked like a young lady from a noble family, with an elegant temperament that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

Not to mention Lian Ji, even when I am at home, although she is dressed simply, I can see that she has an outstanding appearance, otherwise she would not have given birth to a cute baby like Xu Ran.

But Xu Ran remembered his father, Xu Binghu, as a true warrior hunter. He always returned from hunting covered in dust and dirt, sometimes even with traces of blood. At home, he wore linen clothes, and his aura was completely invisible. So, when Xu Ran saw his father, he was stunned.

Xu Binghu took in Xu Ran's expression and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was very satisfied with his son's performance at the moment.

"I just didn't dress up!" Xu Binghu thought to himself.

Lian Ji is Xu Binghu's bedmate, and she can understand his meaning in every word, action and expression.

"Husband, let's go." Lian Ji said softly.

Xu Binghu raised his head, held Lian Ji's slender hand with one hand, picked up Xu Ran with the other hand, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked out of the yard gate, Xu Ran turned around suddenly and saw a narrow path with big trees planted on both sides. Looking up, the trees were towering and the dense branches and leaves made it impossible to see the end.

At the same time, an evil aura rushed towards him, as if it was going to devour Xu Ran.

Xu Ran just narrowed his eyes, and the evil aura dissipated.

"I felt a chill just now, but it disappeared in an instant. I don't usually feel this way." Xu Binghu asked in confusion.

Lian Ji didn't feel anything. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't feel anything."

Her voice was trembling, and her body felt a little cold and trembling.

After all, Lian Ji had just given birth, and her body was weak. There were strange things everywhere in the mountains, and many of them had evil auras.

Xu Ran held Lian Ji's hand and said in a baby voice, "Dad, Mom, let's go."

As he spoke, a warm current flowed through him and into Lian Ji's body.

Suddenly, Lian Ji felt her body warm up, and the chill she had just felt disappeared. The chronic illness that had plagued her body for decades seemed to have weakened a little.

"Okay, let's go."

There was nothing wrong with the body, Lian Ji said directly.

"it is good."

Just now, Xu Ran passed a trace of his innate energy to Lian Ji, which allowed her body to return to normal.

Xu Ran was also surprised that the innate qi could have such an effect. The qi transfer just now was just an unintentional act. Unexpectedly, he discovered other uses for it.

"My mother's health wasn't good before she became pregnant, and she went through a near-death experience during childbirth, leaving her even weaker. If this innate energy really has such an effect, could it completely heal her?"

"Also, every time my father went out hunting, although he rarely had any injuries on his body when he came back, in fact, his breathing was unstable every time he came back. He must have suffered internal injuries, but we couldn't detect them."

"I wonder if Xiantian Qi can heal internal injuries? I need to find an opportunity to experiment."

Xu Ran's mind began to stir and he began to think about what to do next.

While Xu Ran was thinking, it didn't take long for the family to arrive at a house.

Xu Binghu looked at Xu Ran and introduced him, "Xiao Ran, this family's surname is Xie, and they are snake catchers in the village."

Snake catcher!
When Xu Ran heard this, his thoughts immediately returned to normal.

He remembered very clearly that eight months later, he would encounter the first great disaster in the Source Realm, when poisonous snakes would slaughter the village. He asked his parents to take him around the village so that he could find a way to stop it.

Unexpectedly, the first family met the snake catcher in the village. This was just heaven’s help for them!
"Dad! Let's go in quickly!" Xu Ran said impatiently.

Xu Binghu said, "Okay!"

Immediately, he knocked on the door and shouted, "Old Xie! Open the door, it's me!"

"coming!"

As soon as Xu Binghu knocked on the door, a sound came from the inner room.

After a while, the door opened and a well-dressed man stood in front of the three people.

"Lao Xu, how come you have time to come to see me? And bring your family with you?"

Then, he turned his gaze to Xu Ran, who was held by Xu Binghu.

When he saw Xu Ran for the first time, his eyes widened and he was stunned.

It took him a while to react, and he stammered, "This... This is your son?"

"Yes!"

After getting the answer, Lao Xie took a few steps back.

"How is that possible? Your son is only four months old, how could he be that big? He looks like he's over a year old!"

Xu Binghu's family had a son, and everyone in the village knew about it.

However, ever since Xu Ran was born, the Xu family seemed to be sealed off and kept their doors closed. Apart from Xu Binghu going hunting as usual every day, Lian Ji and Xu Ran were nowhere to be seen.

When they met in the mountains, Xu Binghu used his weak body as an excuse to evade the question.

At that time, they thought that there was something wrong with Xu Binghu's son.

As a result, when I took a look today, I found that there was indeed a problem. It grew too fast!
Xu Binghu hugged Xu Ran and said with a smile, "How about my son? He's handsome, isn't he? He looks like me!"

After hearing this, Old Xie looked carefully again and found that there was indeed a certain resemblance between their eyebrows.

"Haha, Old Xu, it seems Lian Ji gave birth to a good son for you!"

When Lian Ji heard someone praising her son, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much for the compliment, big brother." Then she looked at Xu Ran and said softly, "Xiao Ran, why don't you thank Uncle Xie!"

Xu Binghu showed her power in front of Lao Xie once, and now it’s her turn.

Old Xie laughed out loud when he heard this. "Sister Lian, you're so silly! Xiao Ran is only four months old. How can he talk?"

As a result, just as he finished speaking, a baby voice came, "Hello, Uncle Xie!"

"Who is talking?" Hearing the voice, Old Xie looked around suddenly.

Then, following the voice, he looked at Xu Ran in Xu Binghu's arms, and at the same time saw the smiles on the faces of Xu Binghu and his wife.

Suddenly, he understood that the person who had just thanked him was Xu Ran.

Soon, he laughed out loud, "Great! You two actually teased me!"

"We are not joking with you, it's you who doesn't believe it." Xu Binghu said.

At the same time, Old Xie took another closer look at Xu Binghu and his wife, and suddenly realized, "No wonder you two are dressed so formally. It turns out you want to show off your son in front of everyone. Great! Great!"

At this time, Xu Ran's babyish voice came again, "Uncle Xie, my parents are so handsome and pretty every day, they don't need to dress up at all!"
