742: Chapter 223_5 742: Chapter 223_5 “This child, he also has the talent for immortal cultivation?”
“He, a simpleton?”
“How can a simpleton cultivate to immortality?”
“There must be a mistake!”
In the void, Mi Lian was also stunned for a moment.
“Kirin Divine Body!”
“This child is an Immortal Body!”
“But he…”
“He’s a simple-hearted person.”
“Can a simple-hearted person also cultivate to immortality?”
“We don’t have such a person in the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
“What should we do about this?”
“Today, we have actually found two Immortal Bodies, as well as an Ancient Immortal Body, but this Immortal Body…”
For a moment, everyone didn’t know what to do.
Normally, an Immortal Body would definitely be taken into the sect immediately, but the problem was that the child before them was simple-minded, what others might call a fool.
A fool, how to cultivate, how should he cultivate?
No one knew what to do, but Little Bei Yan was completely at a loss.
When he had left, his third senior brother had said something.
If you meet a fool, you must take them in.
And now, he had really met a fool who had the qualifications for immortal cultivation, and this cultivation talent was even one of the top-tier Ancient Immortal Bodies!
How did his third senior brother guess it right!
This…
Listening to the discussions of the Hundred Peaks Sect people around him, he immediately spoke up, “What’s wrong with being a fool?
Fools have more straightforward thoughts, and when cultivating, their hearts are free from distractions, which is actually more suitable for immortal cultivation.
Not to mention, this is still an Immortal Body.
You all continue, I’m going down to check on him.”
Little Bei Yan flew down once again, landing directly in front of the hunchbacked old man.
The old man looked at the Immortal who descended from the sky, and at the light that had just appeared on his grandson, and his entire body started shaking with excitement.
In front of the old man, the simple-minded child, seeing the old man shaking, lost the smile on his face and quickly reached out, steadying the old man by calling, “Grandfather, what’s wrong with you, Grandfather…”
However, his voice was exceptionally loud, and as he called out, he looked toward Bei Yan who had descended in front of him, shouting, “Grandfather, is it this bad guy who wants to hurt you, are you scared?
Don’t be scared, Grandfather, Zhu Peng will help Grandfather drive away the big bad guy!”
As he shouted, he was at the same time supporting his grandfather, and with a clenched fist, he threw a punch towards Little Bei Yan, all while yelling, “Big bad guy, beat the big bad guy to death!”
Seeing his grandson throw a punch, the old man’s face changed drastically, and he quickly yelled, “Zhu Peng, stop!”
But it was too late; his grandson’s fist had already swung out.
Though only a ten-plus-year-old child, when he swung his fist down, it brought a fierce gust of wind with it.
Little Bei Yan looked at the fist falling towards him and lightly sidestepped, easily dodging it.
At that moment, the gust of wind blew past his face, causing his hair to fly to one side.
Zhu Peng stopped abruptly after his punch hit nothing, turned his puzzled gaze back to his grandfather, and asked, “Grandfather, why can’t I hit him?
Don’t worry, Grandfather, Zhu Peng can kill him with one punch.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.” The old man immediately became anxious, lifting his hand as if he wanted to strike his grandson, but as soon as he had raised his hand, he let it fall again, not willing to carry it through.
He looked at the Immortal before him and suddenly knelt on the ground, with his head bowing down as he kowtowed, and while doing so, he also called out, “Immortal, please forgive us, the child is young and doesn’t know any better.”
Little Bei Yan, however, waved his hand, and at once a gentle force blew, lifting the old man into the void.
He was just a child; how could he let such an old man kneel before him?
As his senior brother would say, that would be inviting a lightning strike from the heavens.
“Old man, it’s okay, I don’t blame him,” said Little Bei Yan, pretending to be an adult as he looked at the simple and chubby little boy beside him and asked, “This is your grandson, right, named Zhu Peng?”
The old man nodded again and again, “Replying to the Immortal, my grandchild, indeed, is named Zhu Peng?”
Once Little Bei Yan confirmed the other’s name, he continued, “Then, old man, would you be willing to let your grandson join our Hundred Peaks Sect for cultivation?”
“Willing, more than willing!” exclaimed the old man, his entire body trembling with excitement once again, “Heaven is kind, Heaven is truly kind, our Zhu family’s child can cultivate to immortality.”
Instantly, his eyes were filled with tears.
He, an old man, all on his own, had raised the child.
No matter how hard or exhausting, it never concerned him, but he knew he was getting old, he could feel his body getting weaker every year, his back no longer straightened as it once did, yet he knew he could not fall, for once he fell, what would become of his grandson?
He was even more worried about how his grandson would live in the future.
Luckily, Heaven was kind, his grandson possessed the talent for cultivating to immortality, and the Hundred Peaks Sect were willing to take in his grandson.
Finally, he no longer needed to worry about his grandson’s future; even if he died tomorrow, he would have no regrets.
After murmuring to himself in excitement, he suddenly remembered something and pulled Zhu Peng to his side, saying, “Listen well, my boy, from today on, you are going to follow the Immortal to cultivate.
Once there, no matter what the Immortal or anyone tells you, you must obey.
You should regard the Immortal as your grandfather, no, you must respect him even more.
Do you understand?”
Zhu Peng seemed to understand what an Immortal was, and upon hearing his grandfather, he immediately became excited, his hands waving in the air, shouting loudly, “This is great, this is great, Zhu Peng is going to cultivate to immortality!”
While shouting, he jumped up excitedly like a two or three-year-old child.
With that leap, he soared over two zhang high.
