I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 242 Above the Gods (33)

Yunmengze, Feilai Peak, and the backyard of the Mountain God Temple.

"Master, what do you plan to teach me this time?"

Following Li Boyang with great enthusiasm, Lu Huaijin rarely showed his childlike nature.

This is quite rare for Lu Huaijin, who is usually precocious.

Even in front of his maternal grandfather and mother, Lu Huaijin rarely acted so childlike and innocent.

Of course, this may also be related to Li Boyang's current status in the Bai Di Qun Shan region.

Although Li Boyang never publicly revealed his identity as the Red-Haired Demon God.

To outsiders, he only refers to himself as "the son of the mountain god" and "the mountain people's sage".

However, the people in the mountains, especially those who had personal contact with Li Boyang, were not blind or stupid.

The respectful attitude of the mountain gods and river gods from various places towards Li Boyang...

Or perhaps it's because Li Boyang has been basically stationed in Yunmengze for the past three or four years...

All of this is telling those in the know that Li Boyang was never just a simple "son of the mountain god" or "mountain people's prophet".

In fact, ever since the events of the celestial dog eating the sun and the celestial being preaching the gospel.

The villagers of Lijia Village vaguely guessed that Li Boyang might be that red-haired ghost god, that celestial being who intimidated all the gods of the mountains.

When the floods instigated by Wuzhiqi began to spread across the mountains and rivers of Baidi.

Li Boyang led many mountain villagers in fighting floods, providing disaster relief, and carrying out emergency rescue operations.

The villagers in other villages soon realized that this prophet might be more than just the "son of the mountain god."

After all, looking at the mountain people of the entire Baidi Mountain area, there have been innate deities who have been born.

Putting aside other examples, Xiao'e, the little shaman of Gao Village, is a typical example.

As the shaman personally chosen by the first Spring Goddess Man, Xiao'e may possess abilities and wisdom beyond ordinary people.

But she could never command the gods to rescue people from disasters or help the mountain people.

It was even less likely that in the years that followed, this once-in-a-millennium flood would turn into an almost divinely granted opportunity.

Yunmengze, the Grand Canal spanning hundreds of regions, convenient water conservancy facilities, abundant grains and products...

The emergence of these new things greatly promoted the development of the mountain people.

This allowed the mountain people, who were originally trapped in the mountains of Baidi, to begin to truly conquer the land where they had been rooted for nearly a thousand years.

In fact, this is also an important reason why the mountain people who sailed their boats and traveled through the Grand Canal to the outside world would think of the prophet Li Boyang as soon as they encountered danger.

They firmly believe that the mountain people's prophets are beings above the gods!
As long as that prophet is willing to take action, even the most ferocious ghosts and gods will surely bow down and submit!

"Teach you what?"

With a broad smile, Li Boyang ruffled Lu Huaijin's hair and said, feigning surprise.

"As far as I know, you've already started secretly learning talismans and mechanical engineering. Do you really need me to teach you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Huaijin was immediately taken aback and embarrassed.

"Um... I didn't mean to..."

Lu Huaijin knew, of course, who was badmouthing him, but he only dared to glare furtively at Li Jingshu beside him.

"Besides, I didn't deliberately try to learn it. Those things were just too simple; I could learn them with just one glance."

At this point, Lu Huaijin's previous timidity turned into confidence.

Lu Huaijin and Li Boyang did not meet very often; in total, it would not exceed ten times.

However, Lu Huaijin was naturally close to Li Boyang and would not become estranged or unfamiliar with him just because they met less often and for less time.

"Hmm, those things are indeed simpler..."

Sitting cross-legged beneath the statue of the Valkyrie, Li Boyang replied with a smile, "However, this is not a reason for you to steal my teachings."

"You should know that you were born with an abnormal soul, and your brain development far exceeds that of your peers."

"The reason I don't teach you myself, but instead let you receive early education along with everyone else, is so that you can have a complete childhood and a mature mind."

After a slight pause, Li Boyang continued.

"But now it seems that my idea was a bit too naive."

"You were born with a keen and perceptive mind; the kindness and malice around you are all too obvious to you."

"With your third eye, learning good or bad will be a very easy thing."

"In comparison, I am already quite surprised that you were able to control your curiosity and only use your third eye to secretly learn some simple talismans."

When Li Boyang said that, Li Jingshu, who was standing next to him, immediately showed a surprised expression.

"Didn't you tell me that you've never secretly used your third eye?"

Li Jingshu leaned close to Lu Huaijin's ear and deliberately lowered her voice to question him.

"Uh……"

Seeing this, Lu Huaijin immediately moved two steps to the side, feeling guilty.

Because she never expected that Li Boyang, who was in Yunmengze, would see through her lie so easily.

As for Li Boyang, the instigator?
He simply watched the interaction between the two with a faint smile, but in his heart he couldn't help but think of Lu Suiniang's worries back then.

In a sense, Lu Suiniang was partly responsible for Li Boyang's decision to have Lu Huaijin receive his early education under Li Jingshu's guidance.

Lu Suiniang knew that her daughter was born extraordinary and would either become a god or a demon in the future.

So she begged Li Boyang to let her spend more time with her daughter instead of taking her away from her completely.

"Alright, now that you've learned how to use your third eye correctly."

"So in today's lesson, I'll teach you how to unlock the potential of the Heavenly Eye!"

Only after Li Jingshu and Lu Huaijin finished their interaction did Li Boyang smile and open his third eye between his eyebrows.

"This 'Heavenly Eye' originated from the Huaijiang female witch a thousand years ago, which is the statue you see now."

"Theoretically speaking, all mountain people possess the potential to open their third eye..."

"But in reality, only a very small number of people like you and me have successfully opened the Heavenly Eye in the past thousand years."

"Do you know why?"

Shaking his head blankly, Lu Huaijin noticed that Li Jingshu also looked blank.

"That's because the Sky Eye needs too much nutrition."

"Unless they are blessed by the mountain god, it is impossible for an ordinary fetus to obtain enough nutrition before birth."

"But you are different. You were targeted by a malevolent god before you were even born."

"In order to seize your body, that evil god infused your mother with a tremendous amount of life force, which is why you were able to open your third eye at birth."

Although he knew from a young age that he harbored some kind of secret.

This was the first time Lu Huaijin had learned the whole story from the person involved.

For some reason, Lu Huaijin suddenly felt a strange sense of disappointment and regret.

So I'm not special after all?

I always thought I was related to my master by blood!
