I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 70 The Crimson Demon
"That guy, E'tu... is causing me trouble again."

Li Boyang quietly closed the third eye between his eyebrows and muttered something indistinctly.

Li Boyang has already returned to his home and is now resting peacefully on his small bed.

After all, even if there is an altar to bear most of the backlash in one's place.

The remaining small portion of the earth's ley line power is enough to keep Li Boyang lying down for a while.

This is the biggest difference between supernatural powers and magic.

Supernatural powers are one's own talent, something akin to instinct.

Whether innate or acquired, once supernatural abilities manifest, the extent to which they can be achieved depends on how well you develop them.

Spells, on the other hand, use external forces to achieve a certain purpose.

Whether it's deities or ley lines, they are essentially external forces that do not belong to us.

The worst consequence of overusing supernatural powers is simply exhaustion.

In contrast, magic not only requires adherence to various taboos during its use, but also carries extremely serious consequences if it backfires.

Fortunately, Li Boyang's physical condition has now surpassed that of ordinary people.

The earth vein evil energy is a branch of the earth vein power, which is why it didn't completely sever his meridians.

Even so, Li Boyang still used the Luo Qiu beforehand, which allowed him to return home without appearing to be injured at all.

Otherwise, just thinking about Chen Yun's incessant nagging gave Li Boyang a headache.

Although the situation isn't much better now, at least they won't grumble in front of Li Boyang.

"Tell me, what did he do last night?"

After staring suspiciously at Li Boyang's room for a long time, Chen Yun finally couldn't help but ask her husband.

Li Boyang always gets up very early and has no habit of being sleepy or staying in bed too long.

At this time of day, he would usually be either climbing walls and trees in the village with Li Jingshu, or he would have already gone to the mountain god to study.

"Haven't you been complaining that he's not like a normal child, making you feel no sense of accomplishment as a mother?"

"Our son finally managed to stay in bed today, why are you unhappy?"

Li Yu, who was eating breakfast, took a moment to look up, his eyes full of teasing and doting.

After so many years of marriage, Li Yu sometimes understands Chen Yun's mindset even better than Chen Yun herself, as her wife and mother.

"How can these be the same?!"

Chen Yun plopped down opposite Li Yu and retorted irritably.

“That child was independent from a young age. He insisted on sleeping alone when he was just one year old, and he rarely played with other children his age as he grew up.”

"Aren't you worried about him acting so strangely right now?"

After quickly shoveling down two mouthfuls of rice, Li Yu suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"Of course I'm worried..."

"But what I know even more clearly is that the child is far more capable than we imagined."

Before Chen Yun could speak again, Li Yu took the initiative to confess.

"He was injured when he came back last night..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yun nearly jumped up.

Fortunately, Li Yu had the foresight to reach out and press down on the other person's shoulder immediately.

"The child doesn't want us to worry, can't you even see that?"

With her eyes wide open, Chen Yun glared fiercely at her husband, but her voice unconsciously became softer.

"When did you find out? Why didn't you tell me?" Li Yu asked softly, turning his head away guiltily and not daring to look Chen Yun in the eye.

"When the storm subsided last night and my child came home, I smelled a faint scent of blood on him."

"Although the taste was very faint, it couldn't fool a hunter like me."

“That’s not the blood of some wild animal, it’s my son’s blood, he was injured…”

Seeing that Chen Yun was about to explode again, Li Yu quickly explained again.

"I saw that he didn't have any wounds, and since the child didn't want us to worry, I pretended not to know anything."

"But after an injury, recovery is necessary, and even if our child is incredibly gifted, this is something that cannot be avoided."

"Once your son has rested, cook him some ginseng soup and rice porridge to help him recover. I believe he will recover quickly."

After glancing at Li Yu with some skepticism, Chen Yun finally turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"If I find out that you and your son are conspiring to lie to me, you won't be coming home for dinner anymore!"

Hearing Chen Yun's low curses, Li Yu smiled helplessly.

As the only hunter in Lijia Village, Li Yu has accumulated quite a fortune over the past three years.

Three consecutive years of bumper harvests not only allowed Li Yu to expand his originally simple house into a courtyard, but also enabled him to eat his fill of rice, which was originally a precious commodity.

More importantly, various mountain products and medicinal herbs also became daily necessities for Li Yu's family and even Li Family Village.

The mountain produce was the result of Li Yu's hunting trips into the mountains, and it could add some meat to the village's daily diet.

The medicinal herbs were obtained by Li Boyang and Li Jingshu through various means, which greatly reduced the number of deaths in the village due to illness and injury.

"Yun'er, our child is much more promising than we imagined."

Looking intently at Li Boyang's small single room, Li Yu seemed to have returned to the time a year ago when he went hunting in the mountains.

That time, Li Yu made a rare mistake.

Perhaps it was simply a grudge, or perhaps Xi Luo's presence was gradually fading away...

Without Li Yu noticing, several earthworms quietly surrounded him.

By the time Li Yu realized something was wrong, one of the earthworms had already viciously charged at him.

Although Li Yu managed to dodge the earthworm's first sneak attack thanks to his agile skills.

But the recurring appearance of earthworms plunged him into a desperate situation.

However, at this critical moment, several red sleep bugs suddenly flew out from somewhere and successfully put some of the earthworms into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Li Yu knew perfectly well that these sleepyheads were protecting him.

Unfortunately, before Li Yu could recover from his surprise, a huge, almost sentient earthworm quietly appeared behind him.

Because the appearance of that earthworm was so abrupt.

Neither Li Yu nor Sleepyhead could react in time, which resulted in him being seriously injured by the impact.

In the last moments before Li Yu fell into a coma, he saw the forest burning—he saw a “red demon” emerging from the flames.

From that day on, Li Yu never saw a single mole near Li Family Village again.

Li Yu, of course, knew why this was happening and who had done it.

"Sometimes when our sons are too successful, it really makes us parents feel a lack of accomplishment..."

With a barely perceptible sigh, Li Yu hoped that the "Crimson Demon" would appear less often in the future.

At the very least, Chen Yun must not be allowed to see that angry "red demon".
