Unfortunately, he did not have a day off today, so he changed it to tomorrow. He would continue to write at night and guarantee that he would be able to read another chapter by noon the next day.
After leaving Mount Qing Cun, Zhang Yan carefully found a secluded place to land, took out the Thousand Illusions Illustrated Manual, and kept Li Yuanba's appearance. He circled around, and seeing that no one was following him, he returned to Baofeng Monastery.
He traveled as fast as lightning, and in a few days he was able to see the outline of Ju Rong Mountain. Then he followed the torrential river water southward. In less than an hour, he saw a mark that he had left earlier. He leaped into the river water, parted the waves, and went to look for an Immortal's Cave underwater.
This place was established by him three years ago, and it was the hiding place of the mother and son from the Chen Clan. The surroundings of the abode was covered in a Palace Suppression Formation that was personally established by him, so it was naturally unable to obstruct him. He formed seals with his hands and passed through the entrance of the abode without any obstruction and headed straight towards the depths of the ground.
As soon as he entered the cave. Zhang Pan, who was meditating in the cave, was the first to notice. He leapt out to take a look, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Is Master back?"
Zhang Yan paused, his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "It's me."
Zhang Pan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "This little one greets Master."
For a monster like Zhang Pan, his heart was simple, and he was patient. Three years was just a moment, so he did not feel anything during the time they were apart.
Zhang Yan nodded, and asked, "Let me ask you, during the time we were apart, did you take good care of Lady Chen and her son?"
Zhang Pan respectfully replied, "Master, this little one did not dare to neglect them, and for the past three years, they are doing well."
If it was an ordinary servant, after Zhang Yan said these few words, he did not need to pay much attention to know that Lady Chen and her son should be summoned. But after Zhang Pan heard these words, he still stood there woodenly.
Zhang Yan knew his temperament, so he did not take it seriously. To him, it was good to have people with this kind of temperament. They didn't need to be smart, they just needed to be obedient and loyal. Thus, he said in a deep voice, "I want to see them. Go and summon the mother and son."
Zhang Pan hurriedly agreed and turned around to walk inside.
Only now did Zhang Yan take a good look at the furnishings in the cave. He saw that the cave walls were embedded with many pearls and colored stones, the whole area was bright, similar to the daytime, making people feel as if they were in an underground cave. The cave also had all kinds of stone tables and stools, and there was a faint fragrance of flowers that seeped into the heart and lungs.
Back then, when he opened this cave dwelling, he only roughly dug out a few chambers. Zhang Pan, on the other hand, was a straightforward person. Naturally, he did not have the time to set up these things. It was obvious that this was the work of Madam Chen.
He had only waited for a short while when he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Zhang Pan in front of him, followed by Mrs. Chen. In her hand was a little boy with a lock of hair hanging down. That boy was sturdy and sturdy, looking about seven or eight years old. But his expression was wooden and honest, unlike the usual lively and lively children.
Madam Chen's eyebrows were covered with a layer of worry. She forced a smile at Zhang Yan and said, "Your servant greets Priest Zhang. It's been three years since we last met, but Priest is still as elegant as ever."
She pressed lightly on the back of the child and scolded, "What is my son doing here? Hurry up and greet Benevolent Master!"
Her heart was also complicated. This child could walk a month after he was born and he grew very quickly. But there was one bad thing about him. He was simple-minded and had no intelligence at all. Everything had to be taught more than ten times before he could do it. In these three years, she had been worried about the gains and losses, afraid that Zhang Yan would not accept her child as a disciple.
The child didn't dare to disobey his mother's order. He hurriedly went forward and kowtowed, saying, "This child greets Benevolent Master."
Zhang Yan smiled and said pleasantly, "No need to be so courteous. Stand up."
"Oh." The child stood up obediently and stood to the side.
Zhang Yan looked at him and nodded his head. He then asked Madam Chen, "Did Madam Chen give this child a name?"
Madam Chen sighed and said, "I am a woman, so this name should be given to my husband. Unfortunately, he has already left to learn the Immortal Dao. I think he doesn't want me and my son anymore. My surname is Tian. Since Daoist Zhang has taken me as his disciple, a teacher for a day, a father for life, I would like to trouble Daoist Zhang to name this child.
After saying these words, Madam Chen was out of breath and lightly coughed a few times.
Ever since she gave birth to this child, her body had been deteriorating. She would feel tired after standing for a long time. Even after taking the many medicinal pills given by Zhang Pan, her condition didn't improve.
The child saw this and hurriedly ran forward to massage his mother's back. Madam Chen frowned and said, "I don't need you to take care of me here. Why aren't you moving a seat for your Benevolent Master?"
The child replied with an "Oh" and ran to the side. Using his two small hands, he easily lifted a stone stool that was the weight of an adult. He walked a few steps and placed it in front of Zhang Yan. He raised his head and said with a crisp child's voice, "Benevolent Master, please sit."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and said, "Okay." Then he sat down.
He looked at the child and his heart was filled with emotions. Just by looking at this child's obedient appearance, who would have thought that he was a great demon that could shake the world?
No matter how high one's cultivation level was, after reincarnation, the memory of one's previous life would become a thing of the past.
He pondered for a while, then smiled and said to Madam Chen, "I see that this child has clear eyes and a sincere temperament. When he walks, his legs are strong and strong. He doesn't sway and doesn't seem to have the strength of ten thousand pounds. I will give him a name. Let's call him 'Kun'."
Madam Chen repeated the name twice, "Tian Kun, Tian Kun."
She nodded lightly and glared at her child. She scolded, "Child, why aren't you kneeling down and kowtowing to thank Benevolent Master for giving you a name?"
Tian Kun was most afraid of his mother. Hearing her scolding, he hurriedly kneeled down and kowtowed again.
Actually, Madam Chen was worried for nothing. The karma between Zhang Yan and Gui Congyao was very deep. It wasn't something that could be abandoned just like that. Even if this child really couldn't enter Dao, he would guarantee that he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
What's more, in Madam Chen's eyes, 'stupidity', in Zhang Yan's eyes, was a piece of rough gold and unpolished jade.
Zhang Yan received a few kowtows from Tian Kun, but no one called him. He didn't know to stop and continued to kowtow. Zhang Yan smiled and pulled him up. He then said to Madam Chen, "Madam Chen, this time I came back just to see if my disciple is doing well. I still have other important matters to attend to. I will return in at least three to five years, at most seven to eight years. At that time, I will bring Kun back to the sect. I will leave Zhang Pan here to take care of you and your son."
Madam Chen grew up in her uncle's house. She vaguely knew that a Daoist like Zhang Yan was different from a normal Daoist. He was especially particular about fate and couldn't be judged by common sense. She thought that he had some kind of arrangement and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I will teach this child well. If Daoist has something to do, please go ahead."
Zhang Yan nodded his head. He stood up and said to Tian Kun, "Kun 'er, you are still young and can't learn the best techniques. I will give you this incantation, practice it well."
As he finished, he raised his hand and took out a talisman. He slapped it on the back of his head and the talisman disappeared in a flash.
The origin of this talisman wasn't simple. It was personally drawn by Gui Congyao. Today, he borrowed Zhang Yan's hand and used it on the reincarnated child.
Tian Kun stood there in a daze for a moment. Suddenly, he was enlightened and seemed to understand many things. He knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing the incantation."
Zhang Yan laughed out loud. He flicked his sleeve and threw out many medicinal pellets. He then turned into a gust of wind and flew out of the underwater cave. He leaped up into the sky, determined the direction, and flew towards the Shen Du Peak.
Shen Du Peak was located in the north of Dong Hua Continent. It was far away from here. Zhang Yan still had two acupoints in his body that hadn't been opened, so he wasn't in a hurry. He walked and stopped along the way, admiring the scenery and comprehending the will of heaven.
When he left, it was still early spring. It was the time when all living things were budding and the glaciers were melting. The great rivers carried ice shards and rushed down. This kind of power of heaven and earth was really powerful.
When he arrived at Shen Du Peak, it was already a month later. The grass was long and the orioles were flying. Green mountains and jade peaks were everywhere. Birds were singing and flowers were fragrant. It was full of vitality.
At this moment, he stood on the peak of a mountain. As far as the eye could see, he saw that the main peak of Shen Du Peak was hidden in the clouds.
Around the main peak, there were hundreds of strange and dangerous mountains. The peak was faintly discernible in the clouds like a floating island. If he passed this vast mountain and went north for another 150,000 miles, he would be in the North Darkstar Continent that was filled with demons.
Perhaps because it was the place where the two continents intersected, there were many strange things about the Shen Du Peak. Every peak had a Thunder Lake. In summer, whenever the heaven and earth intersected and the clouds and rain came, the Thunder Lake would be shaken, causing lightning and thunder to rumble.
This lightning was born lightning, and it had the ability to nourish all things. To demons that hadn't taken human form, it had the ability to cleanse their marrow and strengthen their inner qi. Thus, at this time every year, countless demon beasts from the North Darkstar Continent and East Flower Continent would gather here to bathe in lightning and cultivate. The more the demon beasts underwent lightning, the better the quality of the Tempered Marrow in their spines would be.
Before Zhang Yan came here, he'd once read the book that Yan Zhengting gave him, and it clearly described the various methods to obtain the Tempered Marrow.
However, even though it seemed to be easy to obtain, there were many taboos and difficulties, and it frequently caused numerous cultivators to fight and kill each other. Thus, he had to ponder carefully before he could obtain it …
Zhang Yan thought to himself. "Summer hasn't arrived yet, and I have nothing to do right now. Why don't I go take a look around those immortal markets and ask someone to forge a Lightning Absorption Gold Disk? It wouldn't be too late to think about anything else after that."
Because there were cultivators coming and going here all year round, there were also several Flying Boat Immortal Markets. Here, even the best Tempered Marrow could be bought. However, Zhou Chongju had warned him that the Tempered Marrow and the Quejue Thunder were two different items. If he didn't obtain them at the same time, no matter how good their effects were, they would still be inferior. Thus, he didn't plan to purchase these two items from the immortal markets.
However, there were many people in the Flying Boat Immortal Markets. He guessed that if someone wanted to deal with him, such as the Hou clan, and they couldn't find him everywhere in the East Flower Continent, it was very likely that they were waiting there.
If that was the case, he couldn't use his current appearance.
After a moment of silence, he raised his sleeve and took out the Thousand Illusion Illustrated Handbook. He flipped through a few pages and chose the appearance of an unremarkable young man. With a slight shake of his body, he chanted a spell, and a golden light flashed past. He turned into the appearance of the person in the painting, and then he flew up into the sky, transforming into a green light.
"Yes."
