The Magician of Cultivation

Tuofeng Mountain is very large and is located at the junction of Yongzhou and Qizhou in Xueyan State.

It is named because it looks like the two humps of a camel when viewed from the sky.

There are thirty or forty villages between the two camel humps, and Yuexi Village is considered a medium-sized one among them.

To the west of Yuexi Village, there is a small stream more than six meters wide.

The stream meanders down from the main peak in the west and makes a crescent-shaped bend right here in Yuexi Village.

Several villages in the surrounding area rely on this stream for their daily living water.

The land in Tuofeng Mountain is fertile, but due to the large temperature differences between the four seasons and between morning and evening, some grains that are common in the plains find it difficult to survive here.

There is a plant called Qiongqiao that grows very lushly.

Jiqiao is somewhat similar to modern cumin. After drying, the black grains inside the ears are taken out and crushed into powder.

Sprinkle it on food while eating. It tastes sour and sweet and is very delicious.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, live by the water, live by the water. The villagers of Yuexi Village, like those in other villages, mainly make a living by hunting.

Normally, the women in the village also grow some buckwheat.

A portion was kept for their own use, and the rest was sold together with animal skins to shops in the market in exchange for silver and other daily necessities.

It was already dusk.

Many families in the village have started to make fires and cook, and wisps of smoke are gradually rising.

At the village entrance fence, four children were waiting eagerly.

"Look, it's Dad and the others who are back."

A child about five or six years old pointed at a black spot in the distance and shouted.

"It's really Dad and the others..."

"Father..."

The other three people also discovered the black spot and shouted happily at it in the distance.

The black spot quickly enlarged, and soon the sound of horse hooves could be heard.

The person on guard at the village gate quickly pushed the children aside and opened the gate.

律

law……

Five big men riding tall horses rushed in, and the smell of blood immediately filled the surroundings.

The three people at the back of the team reined in their horses skillfully, turned over and jumped off.

Smiling and opening their arms, the child who was anxiously waiting at the door immediately jumped into the arms of the three men with joy.

"Brother Leopard, it seems that we have gained a lot this time."

The alert villager was also a hunter. As soon as he smelled the blood, he knew that this time the harvest was good.

The sturdy man in the lead should be the Brother Leopard he mentioned.

Brother Leopard walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "We seized a den of pincer beasts, hahaha. I will take these pincer beasts to the village chief first, and we will have a drink together in the evening."

"Okay, Brother Leopard," the man swallowed and responded with a smile.

Brother Bao looked at the silent young man beside him and said, "Li Qing, you go back first. My brothers and I can take these claw beasts over."

Li Qing looked haggard, his eyes full of worry.

Hearing this, he did not refuse. He apologized to the few people and hurried towards the village.

"I don't know what happened to Li Qing's Xiaoyu. I heard that he seemed to have fainted again a few days ago."

"Ugh"

Several people sighed.

They have been friends with Li Qing since childhood and are a hunting team. It can be said that they have a life-and-death friendship.

Seeing Li Qing like this, several people felt uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Brother Leopard frowned.

"Old Third, take the horses to the stable. The rest of you, come with me and take these claw beasts to the village chief first."

"it is good"

As soon as Li Qing walked into his yard, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine.

He frowned and said nothing.

In the yard

A woman in her thirties was carefully boiling a medicine soup.

Seeing Li Qing come in, the woman stood up and gestured for silence.

Li Qing nodded in understanding and walked over with light steps.

The woman couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat. She threw herself into Li Qing's arms and sobbed softly.

When Li Qing saw this, he felt a surge of blood in his heart and his eyes turned red.

He held the woman's arms tightly with both hands and asked anxiously, "Xiao'e, what's wrong? Don't cry? Xiaoyu... is he..."

This woman was Li Qing’s wife and Li Yu’s mother, Zhang Xiao’e.

The pain in her arm calmed Zhang Xiao'e down a little.

As soon as I heard Li Qing's words, I knew he had misunderstood.

"Brother Qing, don't worry, Yu'er is fine."

"fine?"

Li Qing was stunned and looked at Zhang Xiaoe with suspicion.

Zhang Xiao'e continued, "You were away for three days this time, and you almost didn't see Yu'er."

"Three nights ago, it suddenly rained heavily."

"Yuer heard the thunder outside and got a little scared, so he came to find me."

"Everything was fine, but suddenly a bolt of lightning struck our yard, and Yu'er was terrified. He vomited a lot of blood and fainted. Later..."

"What happened later?" Li Qing asked subconsciously.

"Later, I pinched Yu'er's Renzhong acupoint according to your instructions."

"It took more than a quarter of an hour before Yu'er woke up."

"But since that day, Yu'er has been like an idiot. He doesn't eat or drink, and doesn't answer questions. He just sits there in a daze."

"I asked Uncle Fugui for some calming and refreshing medicine for him to drink. Maybe he was frightened by the thunder," Zhang Xiao'e said sobbingly.

After listening to Zhang Xiao'e's words, Li Qing calmed down and whispered to her, "Go to the village chief's house first and ask for a claw to stew. I'll go see Yu'er."

As he spoke, he walked towards the main room.

The main house has three rooms, with the main hall in the middle, which is where people eat and entertain guests.

There is a door on each side, leading to two other rooms.

These two rooms are bedrooms. Li Qing and his wife live on the left, and Li Yu lives on the right.

As soon as Li Qing walked into the room on the right, he saw his son lying with his back to the door.

Hearing his son's even breathing, he couldn't help but slow down his pace.

"Alas," Li Qing sighed softly.

He tucked the quilt up and walked out quietly after not staying for long.

Li Qing didn't know that as soon as he left, the child with his back to him opened his eyes with a bright look.

Li Yu was very distressed. He didn't know what had happened to him.

Isn’t he dead?

How could I wake up in this child again?

where is this place?

And this child is also called Li Yu?

Yes, the soul of this child is Li Yu, a cultivator from the Five Elements Sect.

The Five Elements Sect encountered a disaster, and the disciples at the gate fled in all directions. Li Yu remembered that he was forced to drink poison in the end, but how did he find himself here when he opened his eyes?

As for Li Qing's son, he should be dead.

Only scattered memories and pure soul energy were left, which were absorbed by him completely.

Simply put, the two souls merged together, indistinguishable from each other. It was just that Li Yu, who had the memory of the Five Elements Sect, took the lead.

The three days that Li Yu was in a daze were the time when his souls were merging with each other.

However, despite this, he is not completely unconscious about things in the outside world.

That helpless woman, her worried and frightened eyes, her cautiousness as if she was afraid of scaring herself, all reveal deep love.

Is this motherly love?

Li Yu, who had little idea about his mother in his previous life, was a little jealous of this body.

But Li Yu then thought of a problem.

He really couldn't bring himself to call this woman, who was almost his own age, mother.

So part of the reason I was in a daze before was because I was avoiding the issue.

After merging with little Li Yu's soul, he knew that his father in this physical body would come back today.

He also had no idea about his father and didn't know how to face him, so he just pretended to sleep.

But the involuntarily lighter footsteps, the soft sighs, and the gentle movements when tucking in the quilt for him made Li Yu's heart tremble, and then he felt relieved.

Even if it is just to show filial piety to the original owner of this body.

Li Yu comforted himself in this way.

Without further hesitation, he threw back the quilt and walked out.

"Dad, you're back"

Li Qing was standing in the yard, looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

The crisp voice made him shudder all over and he turned around with some surprise.

A little boy about ten years old, leaning against the door of the main hall, looked at Li Qing.

The boy was thin, but his big, bright eyes were very clear and his facial features were handsome.

"Yuer, you're awake," Li Qing said with surprise.

Li Yu looked at Zhang Xiao'e who was standing at the door and called out affectionately, "Mom, I'm so hungry, I want to eat something."

"Okay, okay...Mom will cook right away, she'll cook..." The woman's voice was trembling.

"Mom, I want a hug first"

"Okay, hug."

The family of three hugged each other, all with tears in their eyes.

"In my previous life, I had no parents and lived a lonely life. My master and I were by my side for the rest of my life. After my master passed away, I was left alone in this huge sect."

"In this life, I have parents who care about me and love me. I want to protect all of this and not let anyone destroy it."

Li Yu clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.

The family of three enjoyed the meal very much.

Li Yu obediently picked up food for his parents, making them laugh.

Both husband and wife felt as if the clouds and fog had cleared.

Li Qing even took out the Huadiao wine that he had treasured for many years and took a few sips.
