Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

Upon hearing this, Zuo Ruotong nodded and then turned and left the mountain gate.

"Dad!"

Watching Zuo Ruotong's departing figure, Jingming stretched out her small hands and called out.

He knew Zuo Ruotong could hear him.

Having invested so many skills in Zuo Ruotong, calling him "Dad" is definitely worthwhile.

Moreover, being someone's son means you really have something to inherit!

"Haha, I never expected that a little kid like you would know how to act cute."

"But you've called him the wrong way, you should call him Grandpa Master!"

Looking at Jingming in her arms, Shuiyun couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Shut up, go early and come back early!"

Inside the mountain gate, Zuo Ruotong sat in her usual chair, looking up at the leaves falling from above.

Spiritual practice is just that tedious and boring.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm entrusting this child to you."

In a small town not far from Sanyi Gate, Shuiyun carried Jingming to the door of a house.

The three-courtyard house certainly belonged to a well-to-do family.

"Rest assured, Daoist Shuiyun, my husband and I will definitely treat this child as our own!"

Looking at Jingming in Shuiyun's arms, Zhao Xinwang excitedly reached out his hand and said.

"Yes, the baby is only a little over three months old."

"His birth date and time were kept in his swaddling clothes."

“From now on, someone from our team will come to visit the child once a month.”

Seeing the excited expressions on the Zhao couple's faces, Shuiyun nodded in satisfaction.

The San Yi Men's style of doing things is clear: either don't do it at all, or do it well.

"How about Daoist Shuiyun stays here today?"

"Perfect timing, let's throw a 100-day celebration for this child!"

Zhao Xinwang glanced at the date of his birth and then said happily.

In three days, it will be the 100th day of Jingming.

"No, but I'll bring a gift later."

Upon hearing Zhao Xinwang's words, Shuiyun waved her hand, politely declining his invitation.

You can come on the day of the banquet.

"Hahaha, then we will await the arrival of Daoist Shuiyun."

Hearing Shuiyun's words, Zhao Xinwang did not insist. After exchanging pleasantries again, he politely saw Shuiyun off from the town.

Chapter 4 My Neighbor, Li Muxuan

"Perfect, carefree, and with a huge family fortune to inherit."

"I wonder what the outside world is like now. Is it the Xuantong Emperor or the Guangxu Emperor?"

Five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Jingming sits quietly in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

"Zhao Dezhu, let's go have some fun."

A gentle breeze rustled through the treetops, and a young boy poked his head out from the other side of the courtyard wall.

Then, he nimbly climbed over the wall and came to stand in front of Jingming.

By the way, his name is now Zhao Dezhu, the kind that's listed in the family genealogy.

"Li Gou Dan, if you try to climb over the wall again instead of using the gate, I'll tell Uncle Li."

Lying on a bamboo-woven recliner, Jingming spoke without even blinking.

"Hehe, I apologized to Uncle Zhao."

The child in the jacket picked up a green pear from the stone table next to him without any hesitation and took a big bite.

"Are you going or not? A theatrical troupe is performing today, I hear it's really fun."

Li Gou Dan said with a grin.

"Hehe, I'm not going."

"You can go out and cause trouble all by yourself, but why did you have to drag me along?"

Jingming waved his hand, shooing Li Gou Dan away like he was swatting flies.

"Hehe, isn't this fun?"

"Those people were furious but looked completely helpless."

"It's hilarious just thinking about it!"

The child casually tossed the remaining pear core on the ground and said smugly.

"Hehe, if it weren't for Uncle Li and your young age, would you be able to jump around here like this?"

"Go outside and try causing trouble in front of people who don't know your family, and see if they beat you up or not."

Jingming turned over and continued to enjoy the slightly warm autumn breeze.

He's different from Li Gou Dan; he's been given high hopes to study in the West!

"Tch, I'm not stupid."

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Gou Dan shook his head dismissively, then jumped onto the stone table.

"By the way, I heard from my dad that you were fostered at Sanyi Gate for a period of time when you were a child."

What kind of sect is the Sanyi Sect?

Li Gou Dan's eyes darted around, then he asked Jing Ming in a low voice.

"do not know."

Upon hearing Li Gou Dan's words, Jing Ming shook his head and said.

"How could you not know?"

"I've heard my dad say that there's a guy in the Trinity Sect called Immortal, and he's really powerful."

Upon hearing Jingming's outright denial, Li Gou Dan shouted indignantly.

“You also have another name, Jingming. I heard from Uncle Zhao that it was given to you by that immortal.”

"What's wrong? Are you envious, Dog Egg?"

Upon hearing Li Gou Dan's words, Jing Ming sat down from the recliner and spoke.

He was already over five years old at this time. Even though he only had the ability of "fetal breathing" in his Qi cultivation, he could still practice Qi while walking, sitting, or lying down.

Especially when combined with abilities such as [entering a meditative state], [listening], and [preaching], the buffs are stacked to the maximum.

The only problem now is that there isn't a specific method for cultivating Qi; otherwise, one would directly achieve mastery of it.

"Pshaw, I'm not envious of you at all."

"I changed my name to Li Muxuan!"

"So, what do you think of my name? Isn't it awesome?"

Upon hearing Jingming's words, Li Gou Dan put his hands on his hips, looking smug.

"Amazing, truly amazing."

"But I still think Western science is amazing."

"Have you ever heard of a steam engine? A thing that big can pull something that big."

Jingming gestured as he spoke.

"Pshaw, it's just a train. I've ridden one with my dad."

Seeing Jingming's childish demeanor, Li Gou Dan said angrily.

"Then will you do it?"

"What I want to do is learn a lot of Western things so that I can use them to change our country, which has been weak for a long time."

"Food, manufacturing, medical care, and so much more."

“When I turn twelve, my dad will send me abroad to study these things.”

Jingming stood up from the recliner and said.

Honestly, he never imagined he would one day be able to study abroad!
