I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 288 Family Brotherhood (13)

That day, at nightfall.

Li Boyang's long-awaited return to Lijia Village naturally drew celebrations from everyone.

Even Li Yu, who is usually serious, showed a rare smile.

As for Chen Yun, needless to say.

Her mouth was almost split open all the way to the back of her head.

Especially when she learned that Li Boyang would be staying in Lijia Village again after coming down the mountain, Chen Yun was so excited that she burst into tears.

After all, although Li Boyang didn't say anything, how could his various unusual behaviors be kept from his parents, Li Yu and Chen Yun?
In fact, the fact that Li Yu and Chen Yun tacitly agreed that Li Boyang stayed on Feilai Peak year-round reveals the couple's inner anxieties.

Otherwise, no parent would allow their child to stay in an unfamiliar place for five or six years.

Not to mention, the aftereffects of "Wu Yi shooting the sky" are still unfolding.

Being in these mountains, how could Li Yu and Chen Yun not know about these things?
Over the past six months, Chen Yun has tried countless times to go to Yunmengze, hoping to bring her child back from Xi Luo's side.

However, Li Yu, who was more rational and composed, persuaded them to stay.

Even when Li Boyang occasionally returned to Lijia Village, Chen Yun restrained herself from showing any longing for him.

"I'm sorry, my child, you've worried me."

He ignored the hustle and bustle of the village and did not participate in the villagers' celebrations.

Li Boyang leaned gently against Chen Yun, as if he had returned to his childhood.

At this moment, Li Boyang was no longer some red-haired ghost, son of the mountain god, celestial being descended to earth, or mountain people's prophet.

Li Boyang is now merely Chen Yun's son, a wanderer who has been away from home for a long time.

"It's good that you're alright. Your well-being is more important than anything else."

When Chen Yun reached out to put her arm around Li Boyang, she suddenly realized that he had grown taller than her.

You've grown so fast!

Reluctantly giving up on embracing him like they did when they were children, Chen Yun could only lean on Li Boyang's shoulder and whisper.

"In my memory, you are still just the child I carried in the basket on my back."

"I never imagined that ten years would have passed in the blink of an eye."

Chen Yun kept muttering to herself.

"How have you been doing on the mountain these past few years? Has the Mountain Goddess taken good care of you?"

"And your eldest daughter, every time I ask her to go up the mountain, I bring you your favorite cured meat. Has she ever secretly eaten any along the way?"

"Look at your robust physique, you're not much different from your father back in his prime."

"I heard that Yunmengze is infested with ghosts and spirits. Did they scare you?"

"Mother knows you are capable and competent..."

"But there are some things you shouldn't meddle in, so just leave them be. If the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up!"

Slowly turning his head, Li Boyang was also surprised to find that wrinkles had begun to appear on the other person's eyebrows.

By the standards of this era, she is already 34 years old and has officially entered old age.

"Mom, you shouldn't go to the textile factory anymore!"

"Whether it's the eldest daughter or the seventh daughter, they can both handle these things."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Chen Yun blinked, but still stubbornly continued.

"That won't do. Those spiders are your life's work. How can I entrust them to someone else?"

"And even though your mother's skills aren't as great as yours, those spiders only recognize your mother."

"If I ever fail to feed them, do you believe they'll immediately rebel..."

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but hesitated. Li Boyang really wanted to say that the spiders weren't that valuable. However, he glanced down at the amulets on his body.

Li Boyang knew that there was no point in arguing with a mother about this kind of thing.

Chen Yun simply wanted to do things within her capabilities that she felt could help her son.

"Mother, have you been practicing the breathing techniques I taught you lately?"

As early as four or five years ago during the floods, Li Boyang had already spread the "Breathing Method".

Today, let alone Lijia Village.

Throughout the entire Hundred Mountains, there are a considerable number of mountain dwellers, and even spirits, practicing the "Breathing Method".

However, without Li Boyang's tailor-made guidance, the progress of the spirits in cultivating the "Breathing Method" was generally not very fast.

As for Lijia Village?
They not only have the complete version of "Breathing Techniques," but also the supervision and correction of Li Jingshu and Qiwa.

In addition, with the various pills that Li Boyang often provided, his cultivation progress was among the top tier in the entire Hundred Mountains.

This can be seen from the increasingly robust physiques and agile skills of the new generation.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

This is especially true for the elderly people in Lijia Village.

Back then, Li Boyang faced immense difficulties in implementing the "Hygiene Regulations."

Not to mention forcibly changing these elderly people's usual routines and breathing habits.

But Li Boyang never expected that his mother would become one of these elderly people.

"I've been quite busy these past six months..."

When Li Boyang asked her question, Chen Yun answered with a slightly evasive look in her eyes.

For the past six months, she has been so preoccupied with worrying about Li Boyang that she hasn't had the time to practice the breathing technique every day.

"What about the pills I gave you?"

With a mix of helplessness and amusement, Li Boyang continued to ask.

"Well, I wasn't thinking I'm getting old..."

"The progress of cultivating that 'breathing technique' is rather slow, so leaving me with those pills would be a complete waste."

"So I asked my third aunt to mix those pills into the children's food. They'll definitely benefit from them more than I do. Don't you think so?"

As she spoke, she became increasingly confident and assertive, eventually even staring directly into Li Boyang's eyes and asking him a question.

“Mother! Those pills aren’t anything rare or unusual…”

"If you need anything, just tell me. You don't need to be so stingy!"

In terms of family status, Li Boyang was undoubtedly at the bottom, so he could only emphasize this in a speechless manner.

"You said it was a gift for me, I can use it however I want..."

"You never come home all year round anyway, so what's it to you!"

Unfortunately, faced with Chen Yun, who was both unreasonable and assertive, Li Boyang had no choice but to surrender.

"Look at what you're saying, I'm back now, aren't I?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, you'll hurt yourself if you get angry."

"It's just some pills. I'll have the eldest maid send over more tomorrow, but remember to eat more this time."

"Besides enhancing the effects of the 'breathing technique,' those pills can also help beautify your skin and reduce your wrinkles..."

"Look at the wrinkles around your eyebrows, it breaks my heart to see them!"
