I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 142 - 11: Relic of the Huai River Witch (2/3)

"So... is this the birthday gift you prepared for me in advance?"

Ignoring Chen Yun's giggles beside him, Li Boyang looked helplessly at Li Jingshu in front of him.

At this moment, she was cradling three or four puppies, not yet with open eyes, blinking innocently at him.

Beside Li Jingshu, Xiaogui was struggling to levitate a giant horn nearly the height of a person.

"Stop pretending, put that thing down!"

Glancing at Xiaogui, Li Boyang could easily see through his little schemes.

As expected, as soon as Li Boyang spoke, Xiaogui sighed with relief and quickly dropped the horn to the ground.

Actually, Li Jingshu learned from Xi'Er that Li Boyang had returned early and was looking for her, so she came up with a strategy to feign innocence.

"And you, take these little Huodou to Big Yellow's nest..."

"When my father comes back, we'll make a new nest for these little ones."

With one sentence, the destiny of the puppies was decided.

Li Boyang didn't let Li Jingshu rejoice for long before focusing on her again.

"As for you?"

"I'm announcing your vacation is ending early. Tomorrow, you're coming with me to Feilai Peak for training and learning."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu's face fell immediately.

"But... I only wanted to surprise you..."

In this era, the concept of a "birthday" hadn't taken shape yet.

Not even customs like birth celebrations or longevity festivities had formed.

Yet, Li Boyang always doted on Li Jingshu.

Every birthday, he'd prepare gifts for her in advance.

Over time, Li Jingshu inevitably got accustomed to the concept of "birthday gifts."

"This isn't a punishment for you."

"I've got something new, don't you want to learn?"

Li Boyang's words immediately lifted Li Jingshu's spirits, and a bright smile spread across her face.

Li Jingshu wasn't particularly bothered about training or learning at Feilai Peak; she just didn't want Li Boyang to hate or punish her.

If it's not punishment, she's completely okay with it.

"Great! What are we learning this time?"

"Is it still that previous hand formula? I don't seem to get it?"

Seeing Li Jingshu chatter on, Li Boyang habitually pushed her face away.

"It's not hand formulas, this time it's talismans..."

"The basic requirements aren't as high; you just need to know how to draw the inscriptions."

Despite Xiluo's influence, Li Jingshu didn't care much for cultural lessons.

Yet, under Li Boyang's strict supervision and teachings,

She developed solid basics in drawing talisman inscriptions. Hence, he wasn't worried she'd struggle with it.

...........................

Yunmeng Mountain, Feilai Peak, amidst a bamboo grove.

The spiritual essence of the big black dog once again drifted out, appearing before Xiluo.

"What do you want this time?"

Clearly accustomed to the big black dog's presence, Xiluo glared furiously ahead.

At this moment, despite not cultivating a Yin Spirit, the big black dog manifested his Primordial Spirit through pure spiritual essence.

"I'm not here for you this time..."

Without a glance at Xiluo, the big black dog focused solely on the papers Li Boyang had crafted.

From the perspective of the Primordial Spirit, he clearly saw the faint glow of Primordial Qi emanating from the papers.

It seemed like a variant of Life Essence Qi, extracted as a special essence from the bamboo.

Because of these spiritual essences,

The papers could exhibit the effects of Five-Colored Glaze, harnessing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with their insignificant power.

"That kid seems to have created something remarkable again..."

Before Xiluo could respond, the big black dog suddenly changed the topic.

"Has that guy been sorting out earth veins lately?"

"Don't forget, you're just the Mountain God of Yunmeng Mountain, and he's not even your priest..."

"You two meddling in the earth veins of other regions will draw the ire of those petty gods."

Xiluo squinted slightly, puzzled, and asked.

"Why do you care suddenly?"

"Relax, the Earth God of Mountain Village is dead; a kid sorting the earth veins won't provoke any gods."

The big black dog smirked, then his words grew even more startling.

"Because it's unclaimed territory, it'll attract the malice of other gods more easily."

"You've lived over a thousand years yet never realized that gods can be even more malevolent than humans."

"A god's strength isn't directly linked to the size of their domain..."

"But many Wild Gods desire to become Mountain Gods, River Gods, or Earth Gods."

"Moreover, if sorting earth veins was so easy, why wouldn't other Mountain or Earth Gods do it?"

While speaking, the big black dog gazed skyward.

"In the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, only the Immortal Spring God can rightfully do this."

"Do you agree?"

"Immortal Spring God's envoy—the Kingfisher that rejuvenates all?"

As if responding to the big black dog, a streak of emerald light flashed across the sky.

The next instant, the familiar Kingfisher landed on a bamboo leaf, gazing down at the big black dog.

"Celestial Erosion Monarch, this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

The Kingfisher's voice was crisp and pleasant, yet imbued with a sense of supreme authority.

As the envoy of the Immortal Spring God, the Kingfisher rarely faced challenges in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Only the big black dog was an exception.

At his peak, the big black dog had the power to swallow the heavens and devour the sun.

Not even the Immortal Spring God dared to act boldly before him.

"It does indeed have nothing to do with me..."

"But I just enjoy meddling in things unrelated to me."

The big black dog's grin turned sinister as he gazed fiercely at the Kingfisher.

"Remember, I'm not the only one eyeing Wu Yao's relics..."

"Especially given that young man's astonishing potential now, many old entities in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range are getting restless."

"If you ever feel unable to guard Wu Yao's relics, I'm willing to protect them."

"At least between us, we're familiar, aren't we?"

Before the sentence finished, the big black dog's Primordial Spirit vanished from view, as if he'd never been there.

Leaving the Kingfisher and Xiluo staring wordlessly at each other.
