Chapter 501 Planting the Seed

It is much larger than the Southern Region from back then; with the current highest cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, one could not explore this world in an entire lifetime.

This was also a point that Xiao Ling's parents had considered.

That is why they chose such a place; if their child had no Spiritual Root or had poor Aptitude, perhaps it would be better to be an ordinary Mortal.

The world of cultivators is far too cruel.

And that necklace also required a Three Spiritual Root to be activated, so if Xiao Ling did not have a Three Spiritual Root, his parents did not want to see him enter the path of cultivation.

After all, Xiao Ling's background is not simple.

Just then, the Taiyin Spirit spoke, "Shall we go in and take a look around?"

"That sounds good, let's go."

With that said, the two transformed into elderly men and appeared at the entrance of the village.

This village was quite warm and hospitable.

At this moment, Xiao Ling did not know that he was not their biological child, and those in the village who knew had never revealed it to anyone else.

Su Yu and his companion arrived at the place where Xiao Ling and the other children were practicing martial arts.

Xiao Qian looked at the two elderly men who had appeared; Xiao Qian was Xiao Ling's current father, and coincidentally, he also had the surname Xiao.

"Two old gentlemen, who are you?"

Su Yu smiled and said, "The two of us are passing through your village. We are old and can't walk very far, so we would like to rest our feet in your village."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qian said, "Why don't you come to my house for a meal later and rest well before continuing your journey? You two look quite old."

"No need, we won't be staying for long."

Seeing this, Xiao Qian did not say anything more.

Xiao Ling and the other children were quite curious about the two newcomers, Su Yu and his companion, wondering what they did.

Children are always full of curiosity.

Su Yu and his companion watched them practice martial arts from the side. Xiao Qian's Martial Arts Realm was actually quite good; he was a rare martial arts Genius.

Xiao Qian looked at his son, Xiao Ling. Without a doubt, Xiao Ling's talent for martial arts was extremely high; he could basically memorize any Cultivation Technique at a glance.

This was one of the reasons he was able to become the leader of the children.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root provided a huge boost to such martial arts; it could be said that Xiao Ling's talent was the highest in existence, excluding that special Calamity Enduring Body.

Seeing that the practice was about finished, Xiao Qian said, "Alright, you little ones must be tired. Let's end today's training here."

"Those who want to go play, go ahead. Come back and continue tomorrow."

As soon as these words fell, the children burst into happy cheers, "It's finally over! I'm exhausted."

Those children immediately surrounded Xiao Ling, "Brother Xiao Ling is still the best. We are still practicing the basics, but Brother Xiao Ling is already practicing martial arts."

"As expected of Teacher Xiao Qian's son."

As a child, Xiao Ling still very much enjoyed these words.

"Hehe, that goes without saying. When I grow up, I'm going to become the number one Martial Artist in the world, and then I'll take everyone to the city to live in luxury."

Hearing this, Su Yu thought that children's minds are just different, and they haven't been exposed to much.

Just then, another voice rang out, "That's right, that's right! Brother is the most amazing one. In the future, if anyone dares to bully me, I'll have my brother beat you up."

With that said, the Little Girl clenched her fists and glared at the people around her.

"Xiao Zi, you're relying on your brother's strength to say things like that again."

"Hmph, I want to."

Just then, Xiao Ling looked at the two elderly men; his intuition told him that these two were not ordinary.

Xiao Ling walked out of the crowd and came before Su Yu and his companion.

The rest of the children also surrounded the two, looking at them.

They were all curious about what Su Yu and his companion did; the one with the white beard looked very kind and gave off a different feeling.

Xiao Ling spoke up, "Grandpas, what do you do?"

Su Yu saw this and said, "We two are just old men traveling the world."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding children's eyes lit up, "Traveling the world? Wow, that's amazing!"

Children are always curious about the outside world and want to know what it's like.

Xiao Ling was the same, "Grandpa, what is the outside world like? We have only been to the nearby city, and that place is already the place we dream of."

"We can only go there to play during festivals."

Su Yu saw this and smiled kindly, "The outside world is different. Perhaps some of you will go to see the outside world."

The children's eyes brightened even more.

Just then, one of the children asked, "Then, Grandpa, have you ever seen those rumored cultivators? Is that real?"

"When my mother and I went to the city, the storyteller in that Restaurant would often tell stories about cultivators."

"We would always stop there to listen to those stories."

Xiao Ling also looked at Su Yu curiously; every time he went to the city, he would also go to listen to stories about cultivators.

"Yeah, yeah, what are cultivators like? Do they really exist?"

"The storyteller says that cultivators can fly through the sky and burrow into the earth, and have vast Divine Ability and boundless magic power."

"They can cultivate immortality and have long Lifespans; our hundred years of time is just a small part of the beginning of their lives."

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, "We two haven't actually seen any cultivators."

"But we have been to many cities where there are stories about cultivators, and in some cities, there are rumors about their children obtaining immortal destiny."

"This world is very large; perhaps those rumored cultivators really do exist."

"We have also heard many stories about cultivators. Since you are interested, I will tell you some."

Although Xiao Ling and the others didn't get a definitive answer, they were still very happy to hear this. They all sat down one after another, looking at Su Yu with anticipation.

They were eager to know what kind of story Su Yu would tell next.

In the time that followed, Su Yu told one story after another about cultivation.

The children would let out exclamations from time to time; they didn't even want to play anymore, they just wanted to hear what would happen next.

As time passed, Xiao Qian came to call the children home for dinner and saw this scene before him.

The old gentleman is really popular.

"Children, it's time to go home for dinner."

Seeing this, Su Yu said, "You all go home and eat. We are also leaving to continue our travels."

The children were very reluctant to let them go; they hadn't heard enough yet, but there was nothing they could do.

Xiao Qian came to Su Yu, "Old gentleman, would you like to come to my house for a meal before leaving?"

"No, we are about to leave. The children here have also made me very happy."

"That's good. Goodbye then, old gentleman. Thank you for the time you spent playing with the children."

"It's nothing."

With that said, Su Yu and his companion left the village.

Xiao Ling watched the two leave, and in his heart, a seed regarding cultivation was planted.

Returning to the Taiyin Spirit's home, "That Xiao Ling's necklace will be activated before long; planting the seed is a good thing."

Su Yu saw this and said, "Since there is nothing else, I will leave. I still have things to do; I was originally in the middle of it, but ended up being called here by you."

With that said, Su Yu disappeared from there.

He did indeed have things to do; he had already made progress on the Divine Ability he was comprehending.

This time, he might be able to perfect it.
