Xiao Letong was in Xiao Lingyu’s space without telling Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Letong lay on the grass with his hands behind his head and his legs crossed. There was also a piece of sage grass in his mouth.
Xiao Ling sat beside him and said very seriously, “So, you mean that you were reborn because of the inner demon. Now that the inner demon has disappeared and there is no obstruction in your dantian, you have released some of the spiritual energy that was originally hidden in your dantian. Therefore, your cultivation level has increased?”
Xiao Letong nodded and said, “Yes. However, we’re in an ordinary world. I don’t dare to release all of my spiritual energy, or this world might collapse. However, I am now at the fifth level of the Qi refining stage. It is enough to protect my parents and family!”
He wasn’t really only three years old. He understood the harsh way of survival. The people here might not know how to cultivate, but their weapons could threaten cultivators too.
When he was at the third level of the Qi refining stage, he could only deal with guns and cannonballs. When faced with weapons like nuclear weapons that could destroy the world, he simply couldn’t deal with them.
But now that he was at the fifth level of the Qi cultivation stage, he could deal with them. He did not need to have a high cultivation level, nor did he want to be a savior or save the world. He only wanted to protect the people he wanted to protect.
After Xiao Ling heard this, he nodded and then said very sincerely and seriously, “Little… Big brother, I want to help you too!”
Xiao Letong turned his head and patted Xiao Ling’s little head. Then, he grinned and said, “Okay!”
Then, he said with some distress, “Now, I have to think of a way to let you go out in a proper way.”
Hearing this, Xiao Ling’s expectant eyes suddenly dimmed.
This world was not the cultivation world after all. His sudden appearance would attract attention. He would need proof of identity.
If he was an adult, it would be fine. He could simply make up an identity.
A child who appeared out of thin air would definitely attract attention. After all, the human world was very strict with child trafficking.
Xiao Ling said somewhat dispiritedly, “Big Brother, what should we do?” From the time he awakened from his hibernation, nearly three years had passed outside.
During these three years, master had only allowed him to take a walk outside, but she did not dare to bring him to meet the rest of the Xiao family. During these years, master had always said that she would think of a way to bring him out. Of course, that was easier said than done. The biggest problem was Xiao Ling wouldn’t grow old. In fact, Xiao Ling had aged backward.
Thus, Xiao Lingyu had never been able to solve this problem.
She could only continue to expand the farming space for planting. The wider the farm, the bigger he would grow up.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t know that her son had been absorbing the spiritual Qi inside the farming space. It was why Xiao Ling’s growth was stunted. Of course, Xiao Ling couldn’t tell Xiao Lingyu that.
Xiao Letong patted his shoulder and said, “Ling ‘Er, don’t worry. I’m now at the fifth level of the Qi refining stage, and I can use illusions. I’ll cast a little illusion on you, and you’ll appear normal in front of everyone.”
When Xiao Ling heard this, he immediately said happily, “Brother, is what you said true? That’s great. I can finally go out.” However, Xiao Letong looked at Xiao Ling with a slightly sympathetic expression and said, “However, I can’t just tell mommy that I am a cultivator. You still have to convince her to let you out. I can’t be a part of that conversation.”
Xiao Ling’s eyes immediately darkened, and then he said somewhat dispiritedly, “Yes. But how can I do that?”
Then, the two children lay on the grass, biting on the dogtail grass and frowning. They were deep in thought.
Xiao Ling said in a dispirited tone, “If only there were spirit stones to replenish the spirit energy!”
Xiao Letong suddenly sat up, and his eyes suddenly widened. As if he had thought of something, he said, “I remember now.”
Xiao Ling asked in puzzlement, “Brother, what did you remember?”
Xiao Letong said excitedly, “I remember where can we get more spiritual Qi!”
Xiao Ling was even more puzzled. “Brother, what are you talking about? We’re in the mortal realm. Where would we get the spiritual Qi?”
Xiao Letong shook his head, “Yes, we’re in the mortal realm, but it doesn’t mean this world has no natural Qi. I noticed that many guests were emitting a trace of spiritual Qi from their bodies, and I realized it came from their jade accessories. The higher the jade quality, the stronger the Qi. Maybe we use this to our advantage.”
Xiao Ling immediately said happily, “Brother, is that true? That’s great!”
Xiao Letong said, “Ling ‘Er, this matter still needs to be verified. If the jade really contains Qi, then you’ll have an excuse to go out.”
Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Yes, yes. Brother. I’ll wait for you.”
