Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 218 Genius, Genius

"Hahaha!" Old Xie burst into laughter when he heard Xu Ran's words. "Your child is only four months old, and you can already talk so well. What will he be like when he grows up? A genius! A genius!"

He thought of something and patted his head, "My brain has made you stand at the door all the time. Please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"

The three of them entered Lao Xie's house.

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji had been visitors before, but this was Xu Ran's first time. Moreover, Lao Xie was a snake catcher, so naturally he had to observe carefully.

The layout of Old Xie's house was no different from that of the Xu's, except that the yard was a little dark, and bursts of herbal scent wafted from time to time.

Soon, Xu Binghu and the other two entered the room. Lao Xiewei and the other two poured a glass of water for each of them. Xu Binghu then put Xu Ran on a chair and started playing with him.

Then, the three adults started chatting casually. Of course, Xu Ran was still the protagonist in the conversation.

Xu Ran took advantage of the three people's inattention, left the room, and came to the dark place in the yard.

Looking closely, I saw that in the dark area, there was a piece of land similar to a vegetable garden, but there were no vegetables planted on it. Besides, what kind of vegetables would be planted in such a dark place?

The things planted on this land are very strange. The roots are cylindrical, and at the top is a tree with seven petals.

Just when Xu Ran wanted to reach out and touch it, three adults walked out of the room and saw him at a glance.

Xu Binghu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ran. "Xiao Ran, why are you so naughty today? Why did you walk out of the room alone?"

Xu Binghu was full of confusion.

Xu Ranze's little hand pointed at the seven-leaf flower. Seeing this, Xu Binghu explained.

"This flower is called Seven-Leafed One-Branch Flower. It was planted by your Uncle Xie himself. Didn't I tell you before that your Uncle Xie is a snake catcher? This Seven-Leafed One-Branch Flower is a perfect snake-catching weapon!"

When Xu Ran heard this, he suddenly realized, it was true!

This flower is really related to snakes, and it is also a sharp weapon for catching snakes. Wouldn't this make him safer during the venomous snake massacre in eight months?
"It seems like I'll have to come to Uncle Xie's house more often in the future," Xu Ran thought.

Xu Binghu was busy explaining to Xu Ran here, while the old man over there was looking at the way Xu Binghu was explaining to Xu Ran, and he was confused again.

You know, just now in the room, the three of them were having a lively conversation, but when he turned around, he found that Xu Ran, who was originally sitting on the chair, was gone.

He was very anxious. The person disappeared in his room and the responsibility was his, so he rushed out of the room immediately to look for Xu Ran.

As a result, when he came out, he saw Xu Ran alone, standing steadily in front of the seven-leafed aconite he planted.

When Xu Binghu and Lian Ji saw this, they were not surprised at all.

You know, Xu Ran is only four months old!

Not only can he just talk, he can even walk!

No wonder Xu Binghu kept praising his son as a genius, he really is one!

After a long while, he finally reacted, "Since Xiao Ran is so interested in the Seven-Leaf Flower, then come to my house more often in the future. I'll teach you how to grow it!"

Xu Ran was very excited when he heard this, "Really?"

"Hmm!" Old Xie said calmly, "These are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning. Besides, it's a good thing for Xiao Ran to have a skill!"

"Xiao Ran, why don't you thank your Uncle Xie!" Xu Binghu quickly put Xu Ran in front of Uncle Xie.

Everyone knows that seven-leaf lily is a powerful weapon against poisonous snakes. In the mountains, there are poisonous snakes everywhere, and they rely heavily on seven-leaf lily.

However, although they knew it, they did not know how to plant it. After all, this was the skill that Old Xie relied on to make a living, so he naturally could not reveal it easily.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Ran appeared, Lao Xie actually taught him the method of growing Seven-Leaf Flower. How could he not be happy?

Xu Ran bowed and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

Seeing Xu Ran like this, Old Xie was even happier, "Haha! It's all a small matter!"

A four-month-old baby who can walk and talk has never been heard of in the village on the edge of the wilderness. Xu Ran must be a genius.

The method of growing a seven-leafed flower is not worth mentioning, as it can be remembered by a genius.

Then he turned his gaze towards Xu Binghu and his wife.

"Okay, go ahead. I won't bother you anymore. You can go show yourself to others."

"Xiao Ran, just come to my house anytime you want."

Xu Binghu and Lian Ji's thoughts were guessed completely, but the two did not hide it and admitted it very generously.

"Old Xie, let's go first. When Xiao Ran wants to come, I'll take him over."

After saying that, the three of them left.

When Xu Ran walked away, he was jumping up and down, looking very happy.

This is only the first family to get a weapon to fight against poisonous snakes. How can they not be happy?

Soon, the three of them arrived at the second house.

Xu Binghu looked at Xu Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, this family is where the midwife lived. When I delivered the baby, the midwife's help was indispensable."

Xu Ran nodded, "Okay, I understand."

……

The next day, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji took Xu Ran to travel all over the Dahuangbian Village. Everyone at home saw that the Xu family had produced a genius.

A four-month-old baby looks like a one-year-old child, and can walk, talk, and even read. Such a thing is enough to cause an uproar in the small village on the edge of the wilderness.

Moreover, everyone in the Dahuangbian Village loves this adorable baby very much. Xu Ran also wins the love of the elderly in the village with his sweet words.

For a time, Xu Ran became the child loved by everyone in the Dahuangbian Village.

Throughout the entire day, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji had smiles on their faces. Not only that, every time they left a house, they would carry a bag of things in their hands, including vegetables, meat, milk, and toys, saying that they were gifts for Xu Ran.

What's more, he even wrote a marriage certificate for Xu Ran, which was arranged when they were children, but was rejected by Xu Binghu and Lian Ji.

After returning home, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji placed the gifts on the table, pounded their shoulders, and said, "This day is more tiring than going hunting in the mountains."

Lian Ji smiled and said, "Husband, I think you are tired of laughing today. The corners of your mouth have been raised all day long."

Xu Binghu, who was teased, was not embarrassed at all, "Isn't my wife happy?"

"Happy." Lian Ji's eyes narrowed to a slit.

Her son was always praised, how could she not be happy as a mother? Seeing this, Xu Ran immediately thought of the scene when she went out today, and wanted to experiment to see if Xiantian Qi had any effect.

"Dad, Mom, you've worked hard today, let me give you a massage."

Before anyone could refuse, Xu Ran brought a chair and placed it behind Xu Binghu, jumped onto the chair, and began to massage him. At the same time, he continuously gathered innate energy in his hands and slowly flowed it into Xu Binghu's body.

There is no reason for a son to give his father a massage. Even if there was, it is not something a four-year-old baby should do.

Just when I was about to refuse, a warm current started from my shoulders and slowly spread over my whole body. It was extremely comfortable. The thought of refusing was immediately shattered by this warm current. Without saying a word, I began to enjoy it.

The innate energy in Xu Ran's body slowly circulated in Xu Binghu's body, along the meridians, through the whole body, nourishing every inch of the body and repairing every internal injury.

This process is very slow.

It was simply because Xu Ran didn't know what his father's physical condition was like, nor did he know whether the innate spiritual energy would be harmful in other people's bodies, so he took it slow at the beginning.

When nourishing the innate spiritual body before, Xu Ran had been constantly circulating the innate spiritual energy in his body's meridians. He was very familiar with the meridians, so it was not a problem for him to control the innate spiritual energy flowing in Xu Binghu's body.

Finally, an hour later.

Xu Ran stopped what he was doing, and immediately, the feeling of comfort disappeared from his body, but the warmth remained in his body for a long time.

"Is it over?" Xu Binghu felt a little reluctant, simply because he had just felt so comfortable, and all the physical discomfort he had felt before had disappeared.

"It's not over yet, do you want to tire Xiao Ran out?" Lian Ji's voice sounded.

Xu Binghu shuddered, "How could I let Xiao Ran get tired?"

Lian Ji touched Xu Ran's hand with a distressed look on her face, "Xiao Ran just gave you a massage for an hour. I don't know if it will leave any hidden dangers."

"I'm fine, Mom. I just saw that Dad was working so hard, so I thought of giving him a massage." Xu Ran said.

Lian Ji smiled and said, "Xiao Ran is really sensible."

Xu Binghu looked relieved. "Xiao Ran's reputation as a genius is not just self-promotion. After an hour of massage, my whole body has relaxed."

"Besides, I feel like I have endless energy right now, but nowhere to vent it!"

After saying that, Xu Binghu rushed into the yard and started practicing boxing on his own under the watchful eyes of Xu Ran and Lian Ji, mother and son.

In Xu Ran's opinion, Xu Binghu's boxing style was completely disorganized.

Sometimes it is as ferocious as a tiger descending from the mountains, sometimes it is as light and agile as a monkey, sometimes it is as imposing as a dragon crossing the river, and sometimes it is as determined as ten thousand men cannot break through, which is dazzling to watch.

"These boxing techniques should be what my father learned from various animals while hunting in the mountains. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so complicated, yet so spiritual." Xu Ran thought.

Xu Ran actually guessed it right. All these boxing techniques were learned by Xu Binghu when he was hunting in the mountains. He learned them by observing the movements of various wild animals and their aura when encountering danger.

It is precisely because of these boxing techniques that he has been able to survive time and again in the extremely dangerous mountains.

Although Lian Ji had some complaints just now, when he saw Xu Binghu boxing, his eyes were full of love.

"Mom, watch Dad boxing while I give you a massage!"

Lian Ji looked at her filial son and nodded happily.

Immediately, Xu Ran placed his hands, which were filled with innate spiritual energy, on Lian Ji's shoulders and began to massage her carefully.

However, this time the massage was different from the one for Xu Binghu. It would be more gentle and careful.

Because Lian Ji is not a warrior like Xu Binghu.

Lian Ji has been weak and sickly since childhood. She had even been to the gates of hell before, and her health has become even worse than before, not even as good as that of an ordinary person.

Even with the experience of Xu Binghu, Xu Ran did not dare to be distracted. Therefore, he needed to be more careful in order to heal Lian Ji's body without hurting her.

In this way, under Xu Ran's meticulous massage, another hour passed, and Xu Binghu boxed for a full hour under the moonlight.

Finally, it stopped.

At the same time, Xu Ran finished his massage for Lian Ji.

Xu Binghu came up to Lian Ji and Xu Ran, sweating all over, and said, "It feels great! I've been boxing for an hour and I don't feel tired at all. I feel like I can keep going for a few more hours."

After an hour of massage from Xu Ran, Lian Ji felt comfortable all over, but even a little tired.

"If you want to fight, do it yourself. I'm going back to wash up and rest. I'm so tired!" Lian Ji said.

Lian Ji's situation is completely opposite to Xu Binghu's, simply because, even though Xu Ran used his innate energy to repair most of her body, she still needed a lot of rest to fully recover.

Seeing his wife like this, Xu Binghu also stopped and said, "Since you want to rest, I won't fight anymore!"

After saying that, he picked up the sweat towel, wiped the sweat off his body, and prepared to wash up.

If he didn't go wash up, Lian Ji would definitely not let him go to bed.

Seeing this, Xu Ran nodded with satisfaction. He had done everything that needed to be done today, and it was time for him to rest. He had been using the innate energy for two hours continuously, which made his body a little tired.

That night!

The next morning, Xu Ran woke up early and began to meditate in bed.

After drinking the animal milk, he ran to Lao Xie's house happily to learn how to grow seven-leaf lily.

At noon, he went home to continue drinking animal milk.

In the evening, I gave massage to Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, a couple, to transfer their innate energy, and watched Xu Binghu practice boxing and dance with a stick.

Just like that, five months passed quickly.

During these five months, Xu Ran's daily self-discipline allowed the moonlight and morning glow in his body to constantly wash over his divine body, making his innate divine body more and more perfect.

At the same time, the innate energy in his body has increased from four strands at the beginning to fourteen strands now, increasing at a rate of two strands per month.

This growth rate is even faster than Xu Ran expected.

Moreover, during these five months of training, although his body size did not grow much, his physical fitness improved, and he was already able to wield the hatchet in the yard and help Lian Ji chop firewood.

Even so, as the venomous snake massacre of the village was approaching, Xu Ran was still a little nervous, so he practiced day and night.

Moreover, during these five months, Xu Ran also discovered that the pressure in the Source Realm was quite great.

Judging from his situation on Blue Star, with his current physical fitness, even if he can't walk in the air, he should be able to at least fly over the eaves and walls, right?
However, after experiments, it didn't work. I could only walk and run normally, and couldn't do anything else.
