Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 261 Like a Free White Cloud
The dusk was vast, engulfing the entire mountain range. The night fog spread, and the black wings gradually spread out. The distant mountains were like the spine of a giant beast in the darkness, becoming more and more eerie and terrifying in the night.

In the thin mist, a tiny baby lay on the back of a snow-white peregrine falcon, its black hair fluttering in the wind, and flew over the mountains at an extremely fast speed.

Why are you so arrogant?
Of course, it was because Xiaobai won a great victory after the battle with the giant eagle, and he still carried the murderous aura and royal aura on his body, which made other bird monsters dare not attack rashly.

on the other hand.

The child sitting on the peregrine falcon, although young, vaguely reveals his extraordinary nature.

It even exudes a deadly and dangerous aura, like a young dragon.

They dare not attack rashly.

So Xiaobai flew across the sky above the mountains like a free white cloud.

During this period, no bird of prey or monster came out to provoke its sharpness!
The wind was blowing hard.

Looking down from a high altitude.

The entire mountain stretches for thousands of miles from east to west. As for its height, the highest point reaches the sky. The peak cannot be seen from the ground at all. No one knows how high the peak of the mountain is.

The mountain was a hundred miles away from Dahuangbian Village. The scenery along the way was picturesque and dazzling, but Xu Ran had no intention of appreciating it at this moment. He had a worried look on his face, not knowing how to explain to his parents later.

"Xiaobai, how do you think I should explain this to my parents later so that they can be justified?" Xu Ran asked.

Xu Ran and Xiao Bai hadn't returned home all night and all day. Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were already worried, so wouldn't telling them they'd just been through a life-or-death battle just add to their worries?!
Maybe, after knowing this, they will not be allowed to come out in the future. The day when the Snake King wakes up is getting closer and closer, and Xu Ran may have to come out for training from time to time. Time is running out.

But Xiaobai pretended not to understand and continued flying on his own, but it was obvious that his speed had slowed down. This was an excuse for his owner Xu Ran.

"Normally, you rush back when I call you to eat, but now I ask you to think about your intentions, and you pretend not to understand, right?!" Xu Ran felt helpless.

For a moment, Xu Ran, who usually had a lot of ideas, was at a loss.

"There's no other way, I can only cheat my way through!" After thinking for a long time, he came up with a way to cheat his way through.

When Xiaobai heard that his master had a solution, he immediately changed his speed. The clouds around him quickly passed by Xu Ran's eyes. Under the moonlight, he looked like a meteor flying high in the sky, flying towards the Xu family yard, just like the day Xu Ran was born.

at this time.

Xu family courtyard.

Lian Ji was pacing anxiously in the yard, and the "da da da" sound made Xu Binghu, who was standing beside her, feel a little nervous.

"Madam, you have been walking for a whole day. Why don't you stop and rest for a while?" Xu Binghu advised.

Originally, Lian Ji was very worried when Xu Ran left with Xiaobai yesterday, but she was just worried. She didn't consider the safety issue at all. Everyone knew that it was almost impossible for them and their falcon to get into trouble in the mountains.

Last night, although I was a little worried, I still fell asleep.

As a result, a night passed and Xu Ran and Xiaobai still didn't come back. Lian Ji was anxious. For the whole day, Lian Ji asked Xu Binghu to search for the man and the falcon in the mountains, but to no avail.

It's night time now and there's still no sign of him. How could Lian Ji not be worried?!
When Lian Ji heard what Xu Binghu said, she immediately found her backbone and came to him, worried.

"Husband, is Xiao Ran and Xiao Bai okay? It's been a whole day, and they haven't come back yet?"

Xu Binghu patted Lian Ji on the back and said soothingly, "Don't worry, with their current strength, the monsters in the mountains that want to hurt them probably haven't appeared yet!"

"Even hunters of our strength are safe in the mountains. We'll be fine!"

"Besides, I also asked the villagers to look for it in the mountains!"

In the perception of the villagers in Dahuangbian Village, with Xu Ran and Xiaobai's current strength, they can roam freely in the mountains. But even so, Xu Binghu, as a father, is still very worried, but he doesn't want to show it in front of his wife.

What's more, Xu Ran is just a child who is just over one year old. It would be a lie to say that he is not worried.

Just as Xu Binghu was comforting Lian Ji, a familiar crane cry sounded loudly in the sky. When the two heard the sound, they immediately looked up at the dark sky. Under the bright moonlight, a man and a falcon fell from the sky, just like the scene on the day Xu Ran was born.

When the two saw this familiar and worried figure, their hearts were immediately relieved.

When Xu Ran and Xiaobai landed back in the center of the yard, Lian Ji immediately came up and held Xu Ran in her arms.

"Xiao Ran, where have you been all day and night? Don't you know that your mother is very worried about you?"

When Lian Ji spoke, there was a hint of tears in her voice. Xu Ran looked up and found that the corners of her eyes were red.

He also knew that it was indeed not right that there was no news for a whole day and night, but it was also a sudden matter. Who knew that it would take a whole day to comprehend the [Immortal Sword Technique]?
Xu Ran raised his little hand and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of Lian Ji's eyes, and apologized softly in a baby voice.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time!!" Xiaobai on the side also bowed his head sincerely.

Lian Ji felt the warmth of Xu Ran's little hand, looked down at her son in her arms, and suddenly, her temper disappeared.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!!"

At this time, Xu Binghu, who played the role of a strict father, felt that the time was ripe and stood up and spoke.

"Xiao Ran, you too, you didn't come back for a day and a night, and I didn't know."

Before he could finish his words, Lian Ji's blaming voice rang out.

"It's good that Xiao Ran is back. Why are you saying so much?" After saying that, he turned to look at Xu Ran and Xiao Bai, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll take out the roasted lamb now, you can fill your stomachs first!"

Immediately, she looked at Xu Binghu and said, "Husband, go get the roasted lamb and start the fire."

Xu Binghu was stunned. Didn't she just say she was going to severely reprimand him? How did it suddenly become a scene of loving mother and filial son?
The question is, why am I the one who gets hurt?

But there was no other way. What if he was the only adult male in the Xu family? He could only obediently return to the kitchen, take out the roasted lamb, and then light a fire. After a while, the yard was filled with fragrant aroma.

Xu Ran and Xiao Bai, who had not eaten for a day and a night, began to feast on the food. Xu Binghu and Lian Ji were also unsure where they had been during the whole day and night.
However, Xu Binghu and Lian Ji looked at Xu Ran with eyes full of heartache and worry.

after all.

Yesterday's sky battle with the giant eagle had been incredibly dangerous, and injuries were inevitable. Even with the innate energy, the stench of blood was lingering, and neither the man nor the falcon had washed. Xu Binghu, from a family of hunters, immediately picked up on the scent. Even though Lian Ji had never participated in hunting, she had been exposed to it since marrying into the Xu family, and could still detect the most basic scent of blood.

After a while, Xu Ran and Xiaobai were full and satisfied, and the bloody smell on their bodies was covered by the smell of roasted lamb.

Seeing this, Lian Ji said, "Now that you're done eating, go take a shower and rest!!"

Then he turned his gaze to Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, we asked the people in the village to go to the mountains to look for you. Now that you are back, you should go to the mountains to inform them."

Xiaobai nodded, and under the moonlight, he took off into the air and flew towards the mountains.

With his sharp eyes, he immediately spotted the villagers searching everywhere in the mountains, and immediately sped up. With bursts of sonic booms in the air, he came to the villagers.

When the leader, Mr. Qi, saw Xiaobai, he was surprised and said, "Xiaobai, you are back?"

Xiaobai nodded and immediately signaled them to return to the village.

Elder Qi understood what Xiaobai meant and said, "Since you and Xiaoran have returned safely, we can go back too!!"

After saying that, he took all the villagers back to the village to rest.

the next day.

It was just dawn and sunlight was shining into the room. Lian Ji felt the warmth of the sun and woke up in a daze. Suddenly, she jumped up from the bed, opened the door and saw Xu Ran meditating in the yard.

"call!!!"

Lian Ji breathed a sigh of relief and kept stroking her chest. She was afraid that when Xu Ran and Xiaobai came back last night, it was just a dream. However, seeing Xu Ran in the yard today proved that everything was real.

At this time, Xu Ran, as usual, absorbed the morning glow to cultivate his innate divine body, but today was a little different.

Xu Ran discovered that the efficiency of the innate divine body in converting the morning glow into innate qi had increased, and much higher.

Originally, a ray of morning glow every day could be transformed into a ray of innate qi, but now, a ray of morning glow flows through the whole body, reaches the spiritual ocean, and is directly transformed into ten ray of innate qi.

Afterwards, the first immortal sword that was not yet completed in the spiritual ocean absorbed all the innate energy and turned into a part of it.

"It seems that practicing [Immortal Sword Technique] has accelerated the cultivation of my innate energy. This is indeed a good thing!!"

I was originally worried that the five hundred strands of innate energy I had spent a year cultivating could only be transformed into the hilt of my first immortal sword. How much innate energy would it take to weave a complete immortal sword? How much time would it take?
But fortunately, [Immortal Sword Technique] solved this problem very well, increasing the speed of cultivating the innate energy tenfold.

"The morning glow and the moonlight will bring me twenty strands of innate energy in one day. Combined with my own practice, it won't be long before I can successfully weave my first immortal sword!"

Xu Ran said with some excitement.

Soon, Chaoxia's training was completed. When Xu Ran entered the spiritual ocean, he keenly discovered that the immortal sword, which only had a hilt, now grew a little bit of sword body, but only a little bit.

"Ten strands of innate energy can only create a strand of sword body. How many strands are needed to complete the sword body?"

Xu Ran recalled the nine immortal swords he saw at the beginning, piercing straight into the clouds of the spiritual ocean.

Xu Ran immediately shook his head. "Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just practice hard. As long as I practice with self-discipline every day, I'll be able to complete it one day!!"

Immediately, Xu Ran calmed down and practiced the [Sword Cultivation Technique].

[The Art of Cultivating the Sword] is the prologue to [The Art of Immortal Sword] and is also the most important one. It records in detail the process of forming the [Cultivating the Immortal Sword]. In addition to the process of forging the sword with the innate energy, there is also the process of using spiritual energy to warm and nourish the immortal sword being woven, which is also an extremely important process.

Only by using one's own spiritual energy to nourish the immortal sword being woven can one fully control the immortal sword made of innate energy and unleash its maximum power.

Xu Ran was still in the spiritual ocean at this moment. The golden ocean suddenly began to roll, and countless golden mists rose from the sea level, carrying an ancient and mysterious breath. This was Xu Ran's spiritual energy.

He controlled the spiritual energy that transformed into golden mist and began to surround the hilt of the sword.

Suddenly, the hilt of the sword seemed to be sensed and began to vibrate continuously, making a "buzzing" sound.

This sound echoed throughout the entire spiritual ocean.

At the same time, mysterious golden runes appeared on the hilt of the sword, and these golden spiritual energy began to surround the golden runes.

"What is this? The mysterious rune that appeared in the passage that day!!"

Xu Ran suddenly recalled that when he and Xiaobai were about to leave the cliff, the mural on the stone wall fell off and turned into a mysterious space vortex. During this process, countless mysterious runes appeared. Although they were not golden, Xu Ran recognized them.

"No wonder you have to cultivate the [Immortal Sword Art] to perfection before you can enter. It turns out that the Immortal Sword cultivated through the [Immortal Sword Art] is the key to opening the vortex gate!!"

Moreover, when Xu Ran saw these runes, he could be even more certain that the inheritance in the vortex must be extremely powerful. However, with his knowledge, he could not understand these runes at all. You know, Xu Ranke is a genius who has created several kinds of talismans.

How mysterious are these runes that even he can't understand?? !!
While Xu Ran was thinking, he controlled the golden spiritual energy to gather at the hilt of the sword.

After a while, all the golden spiritual energy rising from the spiritual ocean was consumed, and the first day of [Sword Cultivation Technique] was also completed.

A hilt of a sword, emitting a faint golden mist, hung in Xu Ran's spiritual ocean. Mysterious runes flashed on the hilt, and this unfinished immortal sword was already filled with Xu Ran's breath.

He could clearly feel that he and the hilt of the sword were in tune with each other. As long as he wanted to free it from the spiritual ocean, he could make it appear immediately.

"Unfortunately, even though I have now achieved a telepathic connection with the Immortal Sword, the spiritual energy is too little to allow it to escape from the spiritual ocean!"

Xu Ran said with some regret.

If he could get the magic sword out now, he would really like to try out the power of the magic sword, even if there was only a hilt.

"Practice well and strive to realize it as soon as possible!!"

Think so.

Xu Ran smiled slightly.

He continued to calm down and practice the [Sword Cultivation Technique].
