Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

"Yes, this time I came not only to receive the bronze hammer, but more importantly to pick you up, Master, to practice Taoism together." Wei Xiaobao said softly, as if a breeze was blowing past Master Jiunan's ears.

"I'm already this old, can I still practice cultivation?" Jiunan asked, with a hint of hesitation in her voice, as if she was asking herself.

"Master, do you still remember He Ti Shou?" Wei Xiaobao asked. His voice was like a flash of lightning, cutting through Master Jiunan's thoughts.

"Master Yuan's last disciple, what happened to her?" Jiunan asked back, with a hint of surprise in her voice, as if she was asking Wei Xiaobao how He Ti Shou got involved with cultivation.

"She is also practicing with us. She is older than you, Master. Although her aptitude is not very good, she is very hardworking and has made good progress." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Xiaobao, do you think your master can really practice Taoism?" Jiunan asked. There was a hint of expectation in her voice, as if she was someone looking for light in the darkness.

Jiunan knew that according to legend, there were cultivators in Mount Zhongnan. People called them immortals. They could ride on clouds and mist and turn beans into soldiers...but the immortals hid in the deep mountains and it was difficult for anyone to find their traces, just like the distant and unreachable stars.

"Master, cultivation depends not only on chance, but also on aptitude and acquired efforts. Please take the healing pill first. After your body recovers, I will test your aptitude." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Well, Master is now over fifty years old, and due to injuries, his martial arts are not as good as before. Cultivation may help him to survive. I am willing to give it a try. Xiaobao, Master believes in you."

After Jiunan finished speaking, he opened the lid of the porcelain bottle in his hand, poured out the crystal clear healing pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

A cool and healing feeling immediately spread throughout the body, and the lungs, which had been aching slightly, began to feel itchy and comfortable, as if being gently blown by a spring breeze.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao had observed through the "Intelligent Sky Eye" that his master's old injury was in the lungs. He used his true Qi to get close to his master's back, and a stream of wood-attributed true Qi penetrated his skin and entered his master's body.

Wei Xiaobao used his true Qi to guide the medicinal power of the healing pill to clear every tiny bronchus in the lungs that was blocked by blood clots, just like using a fiber bronchoscope to flush the lungs in later generations.

Soon, all the congestion in the lungs was cleared, and the impurities were forced out of the body by Wei Xiaobao using wood spiritual energy, just like a spring breeze blowing across the earth, taking away all filth.

After clearing the lungs, Wei Xiaobao used the remaining medicinal power to clean the heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and arteries and veins.

After an hour, the treatment was completed and Wei Xiaobao withdrew his true energy.

Jiunan felt that all the past illnesses in his body were gone, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he was twenty years younger and had returned to his youth.

But her body stank and was covered in dirt, and Jiunan, who always loved cleanliness, had endured it until now.

"Xiaobao, Master's old injury is really healed, thank you! Master stinks, he needs to wash quickly, you stay here and take care of Tongtong first!" After Jiunan said this, he prepared to run to the mountain stream to take a bath.

Wei Xiaobao called his master and took out two more bars of soap from his pocket and handed them over. Jiunan looked at Wei Xiaobao's pocket in confusion, but thinking that the methods of immortals were always unfathomable, she took the soap, smelled it and said, "Soap, it's also a Western product."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly.

"Big Brother, you are amazing. You have cured the injury that Master had suffered for so many years!" Bai Taiguan said excitedly, and his tone was as if he had discovered a new continent.

"In the eyes of cultivators, these injuries are nothing." Wei Xiaobao replied with a faint smile on his face.

"Big Brother, can I follow you and practice Taoism like Little Sister?" Bai Taiguan asked, his eyes full of desire.

"Of course you can, but it also depends on whether you have spiritual roots. If you have spiritual roots, you can practice."

"Spiritual roots? How does Senior Brother know whether I have spiritual roots?" Bai Taiguan asked puzzledly.

"Wait until Master comes back from washing up, then I'll test you all together." Wei Xiaobao said.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother!" Bai Taiguan said happily.

A quarter of an hour later, Master Jiunan changed into a white monk's robe. The attentive Bai Taiguan said in surprise: "Master, you have become younger and your hair has become darker."

"Oh, really? It's a pity that I never carry a mirror." Master Jiunan replied.

Wei Xiaobao reached into his pocket, took out a glass mirror wrapped in a copper box from the system warehouse, and handed it to Jiunan.

Jiunan took it and looked at it and said, "Diorama! This thing is exquisite, it should be very expensive, right?"

"It's not expensive, I have many of them at home. I'll give this mirror to Master." Wei Xiaobao said.

Jiunan knew that Wei Xiaobao was very wealthy, so she didn't bother with him. She took the bracelet and held it to her face. Unexpectedly, half of her white hair had turned black, and her facial wrinkles became much less and her face became rounder.

Jiunan looked in the mirror and said, "This immortal elixir is truly miraculous. I have suddenly become at least ten years younger."

"Master is young!" said Wei Xiaobao.

"loquacious!"

"Master, next I will give you and Junior Brother Bai a Qi-training pill each. This pill contains spiritual energy. Then I will recite a set of exercises. You will circulate the spiritual energy in your body according to the requirements of the exercises. Whether you can practice depends on what kind of spiritual energy you can absorb."

"Big Brother, what is spiritual energy?" Bai Taiguan asked again in confusion.

"Aura is the origin of all things. I can't explain it in detail, but I know that aura and the five elements are mutually reinforcing and complementary." After Wei Xiaobao finished speaking, he took out two Qi-training pills and handed one to each of them.

The two of them did not hesitate, picked up the Qi Refining Pill and swallowed it.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao began to recite the formula of "Xiuzhen Xuan Gong" and observed with the "Intelligent Sky Eye".

An hour later, the two of them finally used up all the spiritual energy in the Qi Refining Pill.

Through observation, Wei Xiaobao already knew that Master Jiunan had three spiritual roots of gold, wood and water, while Bai Taiguan had four spiritual roots. Although the spiritual roots of the two were not monstrous, to have spiritual roots at all was one in a million.

Seeing that both of them had spiritual roots, Wei Xiaobao decided to go all the way and gave each of them a bottle of Qi-refining pills, allowing them to keep working hard and directly reach the initial stage of Qi-refining.

At this time, Wei Tongchui, who was sleeping soundly nearby, woke up. He opened his eyes and saw his mother-in-law meditating there. He did not cry or make a fuss, but climbed up from the cushion, stared at Wei Xiaobao vigilantly, and said nothing.

"Your name is Tongchui." Wei Xiaobao said softly.

"My name is not Tongchui. My mother-in-law said Tongchui sounds too ugly. My name is Tongtong." The child said naively.

Wei Xiaobao grabbed a handful of exquisite milk candy produced by the Ryukyu Sugar Factory from the system warehouse, handed it to Tongtong and said, "Here's some candy."

Tongchui did not take the candy from Wei Xiaobao, but said, "I don't know you. My mother-in-law said there are many bad people out there. Are you a bad person?"

"I'm not a bad person. My name is Wei Xiaobao. Has anyone ever told you that your father's name is Wei Xiaobao?"
