Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 35 is stuck, right? Li Qinghong, the living devil! Ye Ping, the fairy music of the jade flute!

"Director, are you making a wish for me?"

Xu Ran was amused. Although he did have a bit of a demonic side—

At an age when he was still unable to practice cultivation, his Qi and blood values ​​almost reached 1 points!
He also possesses the perfect progress of the Qinggong Flying on Grass, Mysterious Steps, Cloud-Tied Leap, Xiaoxu Flying Knife, Paper-Zha Spiritual Communication, and See Through Flaws...

But asking a five-and-a-half-year-old child to find the Nightmare Mother, a horrific creature that could plunge all the children in the city into nightmares?
Even if he possessed [Higher Comprehension], it wouldn't work...

I really don’t know how the director, with a mouth measuring only 37 degrees, can come up with such high-energy words!
Refuse!

Refuse!

The headmaster laughed. "Really? I've always believed that children have unlimited potential. In ancient times, Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve. And you just used a magical spell to help me solve a big problem..."

"I, the headmaster, recognize your abilities. Perhaps with some effort, you can find and destroy the Nightmare Mother."

Xu Ran: “…”

"Let the task of eliminating the Nightmare Mother be handed over to the Jing City Investigation Team! I'm just an ordinary little boy."

The headmaster looked at Xu Ran carefully and said, "Okay, okay, go back and have a good rest!"

After sending Xu Ran to the door of the villa, the headmaster jumped lightly and disappeared on the spot.

As for Xu Ran and his mother, they washed up and went to bed.

After being tired for several hours, Xu Ran fell asleep as soon as he got on the bed.

……

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Xu Ran got up refreshed and jumped around in the living room to stretch his muscles.

"Hmm? The little hero is awake?"

Xu Ran: "Good morning, Mom. By the way, have you found the nightmare mother?"

Mom shook her head: "Let me see... The morning news said that the investigation team searched the city's sewer system all night and found no trace of the Nightmare Mother.

We are now calling on all practitioners in the city to provide as many clues as possible to the investigation team. Those who provide clues will be rewarded with generous resources."

Xu Ran said "oh"...

Mom's finger slid downward, her expression growing increasingly bewildered. "If this nightmare mother isn't hiding underground, where else could she be hiding? Could she be in the sky? In the clouds?"

Xu Ran spread his hands: "The possibility of it being in the clouds is very small. It's most likely underground."

My mother was skeptical: "Really? Then why can't the investigation team find it?"

Xu Ran: "I guess the hiding method is special."

Mom: "Can you find it?"

Xu Ran was silent: "..."

Were you sent by the headmaster to get some information?
I really don’t know!

Realizing Xu Ran’s speechlessness, his mother cupped Xu Ran’s cheeks and rubbed them: “Haha, isn’t it because you acted like a savior last night that I subconsciously think you can do it?

After all, you were so great last night when you dispelled the fear of the children."

The mother was beaming with joy as she looked at her extremely outstanding son.

Xu Ran broke free from his mother and rubbed his face like a cat.

"I'm starving, how about eating in the cafeteria?"

"Okay, let's go eat~"

After eating two pieces of delicious crystal beast meat, endless power flowed in Xu Ran's body.

As per usual.

Next is the time for self-discipline.

But what is different from before is that now he is not the only one who is self-disciplined.

Instead, he brought Hu Niu, Zhu Yuheng, Feng Yan, Bian Yue, Bie Jingqiu, Zhuge Huangjin and other super geniuses among the super geniuses to fight together.

It lasted two hours.

The daily progress of the Phantom Step has been fully completed.

The little kids were also sweating profusely and made significant progress.

The headmaster stood aside with his hands behind his back: "Tsk tsk, each of them has such graceful movements. Using such movements to fight against geniuses of the same age is simply a dimensionality reduction attack."

I have to say, Xu Ran’s teaching is a bit against the will of heaven.

Principal: "Ahem...Xiao Ran, is it over? Do you want to comfort the children again? I feel like this is a safer way to go?"

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly a bold idea came to my mind.

"Principal, I think comforting her isn't enough. As a genius student in a demigod kindergarten, she should be extremely resistant to fear.

A deer rises to the left without blinking, a mountain collapses before you without changing your expression. This is the quality that a top talent needs."

Principal: "Hmm? What do you think?"

Xu Ran: "What I mean is, I've come up with a way to increase the super geniuses' resistance to fear."

The headmaster raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me more."

"As the saying goes: The best way to eliminate fear is to face it! And I can scare them to tears first, and then comfort them."

"As long as we keep doing this for a year or two, I guarantee their resistance to fear will skyrocket!"

The headmaster seemed persuaded: "That makes sense. How about giving you a try?"

Xu Ran held his head high and said, "I'm applying to compete."

The headmaster nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call the children over later."

The headmaster has a special fondness for Xu Ran - he has the ability to eliminate the fear brought by the Nightmare Mother and can also teach the geniuses the Lost Steps.

His suggestion might actually work.

If only children could be immune to fear from an early age.

Then in the future, when you face resentful gods, ghostly creatures, or even more bizarre alien invaders, you can save your life!

As long as human practitioners are not overwhelmed by fear and as long as they still have courage, there are unlimited possibilities for them.

then.

With the authorization of the headmaster, Xu Ran obtained official approval—he could finally legally intimidate the children.

【Whisper of Terror】is about to reach entry level at the fastest speed!

Xu Ran couldn't help but grind his teeth and suck blood, sharpen his knife, and rub his hands ready to fight...

Fifteen minutes later.

Teaching activity center.

The children in the park sat in a circle, as if playing a game of tossing the handkerchief. Xu Ran sat in the middle.

The little kids wanted to climb onto Xu Ran's back to form a human mountain. Their little heads had no idea what was going to happen next.

Xu Ran smiled warmly.

Gently launching the [baby scare], telling a horror story vividly, the atmosphere was full and the fear was overwhelming.

The children's expressions suddenly changed. They turned around and burrowed into their mothers' arms.

However, the mothers also trembled, as if something dirty was blowing cold air on their backs.

"Wow...wow..."

"Ow...Ow..."

"Mother……"

The children cried and screamed, like wild cats howling in the night.

[Baby Scare Progress +48...Current Progress: 8998/10000...]

Just a little bit away from [Whisper of Terror]!
Xu Ran was satisfied and quickly used [Fear Dispelling] to stop the children from crying.

[Fear Exorcism Progress +48...]

The little kids stopped crying, their emotions gradually calmed down, they blinked their cute eyes, and heartlessly babbled at Xu Ran...

There is no doubt that the effect of [Fear Exorcism] is greater than that of [Baby Scare].

They immediately put the shock behind them.

"Okay, okay, let's try again and see if I can fill it up."

Xu Ran continued to try, and the little kids burst into tears again.

[Baby Scare Progress +48...]

[Fear Exorcism Progress +48...]

After three cycles, Xu Ran easily completed the progress.

After the tenth cycle.

The little ones have become a little more immune to horror stories and their crying is no longer as heartbreaking as before.

The head teacher nodded in appreciation. "It actually works! Sure enough, the best way to eliminate fear is to face it. Okay, let's add this course in the future so they can face their fears every day."

The theory was sound, and the results were beginning to show, so the headmaster wisely adopted Xu Ran's suggestion. Xu Ran smiled brightly, "Okay!"

Li Qinghong stood aside, her brows furrowed slightly. "I have a question: if this continues for a year, can the children really remain calm in the face of fear?"

The headmaster hit the nail on the head: "This is similar to your courage training."

Li Qinghong shook her head: "No, no, no, what I mean is - Xiao Ran's threats are not scary enough, not even one thousandth of the vengeful god..."

Principal: “What do you mean?”

Li Qinghong's expression was serious. "What I mean is, we need to increase the intensity! It would be best if it could rival the frightening effects of a nightmare mother! Let the children be immersed in the situation and suffocate with fear. Otherwise, what's the difference between this and playing house?"

Hear this.

Director: "..."

All the mothers' expressions instantly turned horrified: "..."

Xu Ran also turned around in surprise and glanced at Li Qinghong.

Oh my god, I met the devil. I just wanted to scare them to tears to advance my progress. Sister, you are here to scare them out of their childhood trauma.

What childhood shadow maker?
Xu Ran thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... maybe we can increase the intensity after a month?"

Principal: "Yes, yes, we should gradually increase the intensity. Qinghong is a bit too aggressive."

Li Qinghong smiled faintly. "Am I being radical? I don't think... the true fear of facing a resentful god... is enough to render even the most talented genius unable to wield their weapons..."

"If you get scared more often when you're young, you'll be more likely to survive on the battlefield later!"

After that, she took the children over the age of six to attend the "Cliff Courage Training" class.

Xu Ran didn't have to attend the courage training class, so he turned around and went back to his residence to discipline himself.

Hu Niu, who also didn't need to be brave, followed him happily.

"Brother Xiao Ran, can you teach me other fighting skills?"

Xu Ran looked at Hu Niu and said, "Um... Let's learn the Mizong Step to perfection first!"

For a child of just over five, the Mysterious Steps were more than enough. Once she had mastered the power of her inborn strength, she would be taught combat techniques based on that strength.

Hu Niu nodded cutely: "Oh, okay. But I've already mastered the Mysterious Step. Is it powerful?"

She flashed back and forth beside Xu Ran, showing off her skills, naughty and lively.

"awesome!"

After returning to his residence, Xu Ran immersed himself in practicing darts.

Behind him, Hu Niu was concentrating on practicing her footwork, occasionally stealing glances at Xu Ran's dart skills, as if trying to learn from him.

The afternoon passed quickly.

eight pm.

The day's self-discipline ended, and Hu Niu waved goodbye to him.

"Goodbye, Brother Xiaoran."

"Goodbye, Aunt Lin."

Xu Ran: "Goodbye, Aunt Chen. Goodbye, Sister Liuli."

After packing up my things, I turned around and went back to the house.

Suddenly, something flowed through his body like a breeze, and Xu Ran paused slightly.

"What is that? It's a bit like Bie Jingqiu's mental power, but it doesn't seem to pose any threat..."

same moment.

The principal's office building.

The middle-aged man with sharp eyebrows and outstanding temperament laughed in surprise: "Huh? Besides Bie Jingqiu, who has the spiritual root, is there any other brat who can find me?"

"Headmaster, what kind of character is this kid?"

Principal: “Who?”

Middle-aged uncle Ye Ping: "He's handsome, with bright eyes, and he practices darts at home."

The headmaster raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh, the one practicing darts is Xu Ran. Can he sense your mental power? Impossible, he doesn't have a mental bone structure."

"He must have noticed it. That kid's reaction is very sharp..."

"But if his bone structure isn't spiritual, then what kind of bone structure is it?"

The headmaster said: "He said that he has a high level of understanding, and he also shows that he has a very high level of understanding. Most of the time, it is just an illusory understanding bone."

Ye Ping's face was filled with disbelief. "Huh? Principal... you admitted someone with such a low level of comprehension to the Demigod Kindergarten? Shouldn't he be doing scientific research? Could it be that his comprehension allowed him to learn physical techniques and cultivation techniques before he was eight?"

The headmaster smiled confidently: "I may not be able to learn the cultivation method, but my body movements will definitely surprise you."

Ye Ping: "Oh? Principal, are you kidding me? Children under eight years old cannot circulate spiritual energy and flow through their veins."

The headmaster is proud: "I have chosen a different path purely by relying on my talent and understanding!"

"Of course, the kid's physical skills are definitely not as good as those of orthodox practitioners. But it already proves his terrifying talent."

amount……

A look of confusion flashed across Ye Ping's eyes.

But soon, he was too lazy to care about Xu Ran's situation.

"Is this little girl with white hair and eyebrows Zhu Yuheng, who possesses the Time Bone?"

Principal: “Yes.”

Ye Ping nodded slightly: "I understand. My first task is to be her protector. The second is to deal with the nightmare mother. If there is anything that the headmaster needs help with, please feel free to ask!"

talking.

Ye Ping took out a jade flute from his arms, jumped to the roof, and sat down gently.

A leisurely and pleasant flute sound merged with the invisible spiritual power, and the paintings were like flying petals, scattered across Jing City, flew into thousands of homes, and merged into the eyebrows of every child.

The children immediately calmed down, their faces filled with happiness and tranquility.

"Woooooooo..."

The beautiful flute music lasts forever.

A bright moon hangs high.

The evening breeze was blowing and the moonlight was like water. Xu Ran opened the window and felt the coldness between his eyebrows. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

"Whose jade flute is playing in the dark? Is it that spiritual master from the capital?"

"It seems that the Nightmare Mother is about to be put to an end."

Xu Ran guessed the result and turned around to sleep.

The flute sounds melodious.

Amid the beautiful flute music, the adults and children in Jing City slept soundly.

After more than an hour, the flute sound disappeared.

Ye Ping put away the jade flute.

The headmaster was full of praise: "As expected, he is ranked in the top ten spiritual root bones - Jade Flute Immortal Ye Ping!"

"So... you should find the Nightmare Mother's hiding place, right?"

The middle-aged man's expression was slightly serious as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Logically, the sound of my flute sent ripples throughout the city, sweeping through every corner of Jing City, even every crack in the underground water pipes. However, I couldn't find the hiding place of the Nightmare Mother."

The headmaster was surprised. "How is it possible? It caused a nightmare for the entire city, yet it didn't even leave a trace? Is it so difficult?"

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "Let me think about it for a moment. What's wrong... What's wrong..."

For a long time.

Ye Ping rubbed his brows and said, "Headmaster, my brain is not enough."

The director was speechless, then he comforted Ye Ping: "Take your time. If it's still in Jing City, it will definitely start another nightmare. By then, we will definitely be able to find its hiding place."

Ye Ping sighed: "Alas, I can only wait for it to reveal its flaws..."

The head teacher patted Ye Ping on the shoulder.

"Don't blame yourself too much. The ghost aliens have only been invading for a few years. Human cultivators are unfamiliar with them and are often caught off guard. This is normal. Just ensure the safety of the citizens to the greatest extent possible."

Ye Ping took a deep breath.

"Yes, we know too little about ghost creatures. It will take a long time to understand their species and abilities, and the price of understanding them is who knows how many lives of practitioners will be lost... maybe even the lives of super-powerful people..."

Ye Ping sighed deeply.

The Crystal Beast Planet, the Resentful God Planet, and the Ghost Alien Planet, three alien planets have invaded. The situation of humanity is becoming increasingly desperate...

The headmaster held Ye Ping down firmly and smiled brightly, "Be optimistic, kid. If we can buy one more year, even one more year, humanity will definitely find a way out."

Ye Ping: “…”

Uh... the director's optimism is really out of tune with the current state of humanity...
