Hearing Du's question, Zhao Hongjin, Wang Guanshi and others all stood up and listened carefully.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Exactly, this Qilin child, Lady Du, are you still satisfied?"
Dufei did not expect Chen Yun to admit it, so she hurriedly got up and bowed and said: "The god sent a son, the servant girl is naturally satisfied. But my little child, his whole body has been shining in gold for three days. The rumors in the city have spread that he is a demon. May I ask the immortal man, what should I do?"
Chen Yun waved his hand and said, "No worries. Once I find out why these demons and monsters have come here, I will resolve this matter for you."
"Thank you, Master Chen."
"Thank you for the immortal's compassion."
Zhao Hongjin, Dufei, and Wang Guanshi and others kept thanking.
Chen Yun did not reply to them again, but turned to Hu Meiniang and Wu Xingde and asked, "Tell me, why have you all gathered here together?"
Wu Xingde spoke first, "I heard about the condition of Zhao family's second son and thought it might be jaundice. I learned some medical skills from a strange person in my youth, so I thought I could come to see if there's anything I can do to help. That's why I came here."
Chen Yun laughed and said, "I know who the person who taught you magic is. He's an acquaintance of mine, so when I saw you earlier, I knew there was no harm. By the way, you should call me an uncle-grandfather."
Yes, he could tell that Wu Xingde's cultivation method was Wang Zixu's unique body refining method.
Although Wang Zixu was expelled from the household, the unique body refining method he taught within the internal elixir cultivation method at Wang Zixu's family compound was passed on to Wu Xingde. So, it's not wrong for him to say that he is Wu Xingde's uncle-grandfather.
Wu Xingde did not expect to suddenly find such a big backing, so he hurriedly knelt down and bowed his head and said: "Wu Xingde pays respects to his uncle-grandfather."
Chen Yun asked, "Where is your master? I've been looking for him for a long time."
Wu Xingde raised his head with a bitter smile and said, "My teacher is like the divine dragon, appearing and disappearing without leaving a trace. As a disciple, I don't even know where he is."
Chen Yun felt somewhat disappointed and had to say, "It's okay. I'll meet him again when we have the chance in the future."
Speaking, Chen Yun shifted his gaze to Hu Meiniang, "And you? Why are you here?"
Hu Meiniang honestly answered, "I used to practice in the mountains before. Three days ago, I suddenly saw a red light hitting into Zhao family, knew that a immortal had reincarnated, and then, I remembered that immortals who reincarnate often have remaining divine energy, so I wanted to absorb it to become enlightened and thus came here."
Hmm?
Hearing this, Chen Yun furrowed his brows.
He didn't expect the thunderbolt Great Sage's reincarnation to be so big.
Since Hu Meiniang, Kong Mo, Zhuge Yin, and others have come here.
It is certain that the number of demonic and ghostly beings observing the situation is definitely not limited to these.
Some of the demonic beings may still be watching and waiting for the right opportunity to strike.
In that case, it seems that I will need to make sure Zhao Kuangyin grows up healthy and stay here to act as a bodyguard for a while?
Chen Yun secretly pondered, it's also reasonable for me to stay here as a bodyguard.
After all, my current cultivation is not making any progress. It's the right time for me to enter the world and refine my mind. I wonder if I can enlighten myself about something, so that I can become a immortal or an ascendant.
Thinking of this, he made up his mind to stay and protect Zhao Kuangyin's growth, ensuring he would not be harmed by demons and ghosts.
Another point, Chen Yun guessed, perhaps as Zhao Kuangyin grows up, many sacred beings will notice that he may be the true king of this era and come to claim the credit for themselves.
If I stay here, others will have to consider whether I'm willing to let them share a bite of the cake.
The Thunderbolt Great Sage was sent here for reincarnation by the King of Fengdu.
This is clearly a heavenly contribution. Why should others take it away?
Chen Yun knew that in order to accumulate merits to save his teacher, staying by Zhao Kuangyin's side and helping him grow up was necessary.
After understanding it, Chen Yun nodded and said, "You, this little demon, are able to recognize the wrong path and inform me the truth. Alright, go first. Remember, don't create any more trouble. If I call you in the future, you must come to help immediately."
Hu Meiniang hurriedly bowed and said, "The little demon knows. Master Chen, I'll leave first."
Chen Yun waved his sleeve without saying anything.
Hu Meiniang respectfully left.
At this time, Chen Yun said to Zhao Hongjin and Dufei, "Take me to see the second son."
Zhao Hongjin did not dare to delay and extended his hand towards the inner courtyard, "Immortal, please come in."
Chen Yun walked into the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back and said, "Xingde, you should also come and take a look."
Wu Xingde said, "I will obey my uncle-grandfather's order."
The group walked towards the inside.
Zhao Hongjin was very courteous and said, "Immortal, my second son has not been given a name yet. Since you dreamed of delivering him, could I trouble you to help give him a name?"
Chen Yun replied in a calm manner, "Your family Zhao has a thin lineage. I wish you well and hope that your descendants can be forever transmitted. So let's name him Zhao Kuangyin. How do you think?"
The character "Yin" represents the continuation of descendants.
Zhao Hongjin listened and thought the name was exquisite.
He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Marvelous! The name given by the immortal is truly clever!"
Dufei and the other Wang Guanshi also secretly admired the immortals' extensive knowledge. The names he came up with on the spot were all so meaningful.
The group entered the inner courtyard.
They arrived at the upper room, and Chen Yun said, "You all stay outside. I will go in and have a word with the second son. I guarantee that the gold light on his body will be extinguished."
"Alright," Zhao Hongjin said with gratitude, "Thank you, Master Chen."
Chen Yun shook his hand and walked directly towards the inside.
When he entered the room, Zhao Hongjin then looked at Wu Xingde and cautiously asked, "Mr. Wu, what is the background of your uncle-grandfather? Can you tell me about him?"
Dufei, Wang Guanshi, and the others also looked over with curiosity, as they were very curious about Chen Yun's identity.
Wu Xingde smiled and said, "My uncle-grandfather's background is not small. He is a disciple of Zhenyang Zongren of Chongnan Mountain Chengyang Cave."
This identity Chen Yun had also mentioned before.
Zhao Hongjin was puzzled and said, "I know that you, the immortal, are from Chongnan Mountain, but..."
Wu Xingde probably understood that Zhao Hongjin and the others didn't know who the Master was, so he explained, "The Master... Well, the uncle-grandfather's master, that is, one of the eight immortals commonly referred to as Han Zhongli."
"Ah?"
"The immortal is actually a disciple of Han Zhongli?"
"That explains it, that explains it. That's why Master Chen's great law is so amazing. It's because of this holy disciple."
Zhao Hongjin, Dufei, and Wang Guanshi, among others, couldn't help but feel impressed.
Wu Xingde quickly added, "My uncle-grandfather is not just relying on his master's name. He is also very powerful himself."
Dufei curiously asked, "How powerful is he?"
Zhao Hongjin, Zhao Kuangji, and Wang Guanshi, among others, all looked towards Wu Xingde's face.
Wu Xingde was afraid that these people might accidentally offend Chen Yun, so he slowly said, "About thirty years ago, when I was not well known, a side cult of left-hand pathogens in Sichuan began to cause chaos in Lixi City, intending to kill 200,000 people. My uncle-grandfather was compassionate and went to Lixi City to fight the left-hand pathogens..."
He told in detail everything Chen Yun had done.
He recounted Chen Yun's deeds one by one, such as defeating Yin Wuji in Liusi City, destroying the ghost general and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in Li State, killing the demon king and several tens of thousands of demons in Dengzhou, and a series of impressive achievements that had Zhao Kuangji in awe.
Zhao Hongjin, Dufei, and Wang Guanshi, among others, also listened with their blood boiling. They couldn't help but exclaim in admiration from across the room.
They originally thought that Chen the immortal had little reputation.
After listening to Wu Xingde's words, they realized that Chen Yun had actually been famous throughout the mountains and rivers long ago.
It's just that they were of limited experience and did not know the power of the immortal.
At that moment, the people of Zhao family were moved greatly.
No wonder the immortal showed such a formidable power today. It turns out that he has long been renowned.
Different from what the people of Zhao family sighed.
Wu Xingde was sighing in amazement in his heart, thinking that "great reputation does not come from empty scholars," and his uncle-grandfather was indeed as powerful as rumors had it, with boundless power.
...
Inside.
As soon as Chen Yun entered, he asked the maid taking care of Zhao Kuangyin to leave.
After a moment, he looked at the baby-shaped Zhao Kuangyin and smiled, "Thunderbolt Immortal, how have you been?"
Originally, the Thunderbolt Immortal had already been reborn and reincarnated, veiling his senses. Chen Yun thought that the other party would not have any reaction.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a stream of clear qi rose from the top of the baby's head.
This stream of clear qi swirled mid-air, instantly condensing into the figure of the Thunderbolt Immortal.
Thunderbolt Immortal bowed and said, "Thank you for protecting me."
Chen Yun hesitated for a moment, somewhat surprised, "Great Sage, you actually haven't lost your wits yet?"
Thunderbolt Immortal's figure sighed and said, "I have no disciples in the mortal world, and no one has come to protect me from harm. How can I not keep some of my skills? The illusion you see is not my wits lingering. It is the residual Taoist qi. However, since you are willing to protect me, I can also rest easy. Alright, this pool of Taoist qi I'll give to Master Chen as a token of gratitude for saving my life."
Saying this, the clear qi surged and transformed into a radiant particle the size of a grain of rice.
Thunderbolt Immortal's last voice came through, "I hope you can protect me until I am seven years old. Over the next few years, the residual Taoist qi in my soul will continue to dissipate. Seven years will be enough for it to vanish completely. At that time, no evil spirits will dare to covet me. Although it would waste your seven years of cultivation time, if you can successfully cultivate and transform this pool of qi into your own power, obtaining immortality should not be a problem."
Soon after, there was no more sound.
At the same time, the golden light on Zhao Kuangyin also extinguished.
"Ah?"
Can I fully cultivate and transform this pool of Taoist qi to become immortal?
Chen Yun had made no progress in his cultivation before, and he thought he needed to seek out a divine opportunity.
Who would have thought that by protecting Zhao Kuangyin's safety on this trip down the mountain, I would have obtained the opportunity to become immortal?
For a moment, he felt a complex mix of emotions in his heart, involuntarily recalling what Xi Wangmu had said to him.
Indeed, everything is predestined. In the flow of the great path, everything has already been arranged long ago.
While Chen Yun was moved, he couldn't help but secretly feel pleased in his heart.
He had originally just wanted to use Zhao Kuangyin to gain enough merit so that his master could be exempt from the heavenly court's punishment.
Who would have thought that he would accidentally gain the opportunity to become immortal in this way.
It can be said that his trip down the mountain this time was indeed the right choice!
Of course, since he had accepted such a great favor from Thunderbolt Immortal, he must certainly keep his promise and stay here for at least seven years to protect the other's safe growth.
Alright, during these seven years, I will practice my cultivation while protecting the other's safety. At the same time, I will cultivate and refine the Taoist qi to achieve immortality.
Of course, the most important thing is to protect Zhao Kuangyin's safety.
Chen Yun secretly decided on the purpose of his stay in the mortal world.
He secretly thought, "Now that I have the Taoist qi left behind by the Thunderbolt Immortal, it should be enough for me to become immortal in seven years."
