Taking advantage of the opportunity, the steward sneaked up to Baolian and reached out to take the spirit pearl and the demon pill.
"Cough cough!"
After hiding for so long, Hao Yun finally showed up. He grabbed the butler's hand, picked up the spirit pearl, and threw it away.
Under the guidance of the reincarnation array, the spirit pearl was absorbed into the array and transformed into a wisp of immortal spirit, which then entered the delivery room.
As for the Demon Orb, it was being played with by Hao Yun in his hand.
Taiyi Zhenren was terrified at this moment, and if Hao Yun hadn't intervened, the spirit pearl would have been stolen.
"It's a puppet talisman!"
As a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Taiyi Zhenren had some tricks up his sleeve, and he immediately noticed the puppet talisman stuck to the steward's back.
Shen Gongbao, perched atop the high-rise, was seething with rage. His plans had been thwarted.
Shen Gongbao appeared in the arena in a flash and attacked Hao Yun without saying a word.
Sizzle!
Hao Yun felt a sudden numbness all over his body as the magic pill in his hand was snatched away.
When Taiyi Zhenren saw that the visitor was Shen Gongbao, he couldn't help but shout.
"Shen Gongbao! It's you! What are you doing here?"
Chapter 115 Becoming an Apprentice
"Hmph, Master actually entrusted such an important matter to you. I really don't know what Master values in you."
Shen Gongbao's face was full of resentment, and his hand gripping the Demon Orb cracked loudly.
"Shen Gongbao, this is something our master instructed us to do. Do you intend to cause trouble?"
Even if Master Taiyi had the best temper, he was still angered at this moment. If Hao Yun hadn't intervened, his sins would have been much greater. Putting aside everything else, just failing to complete his master's task would have been enough to cause him a lot of trouble.
Shen Gongbao, too lazy to argue, used the Five Elements Escape Technique and vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Taiyi Zhenren wanted to chase after it, but he was worried that something might happen to the spirit pearl, so he could only stand there and stomp his feet in anger.
"The lady has given birth! It's a boy, congratulations, sir!"
The sound of a baby boy crying came from the delivery room, and a maid ran in to announce the good news.
With the successful reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl, both Li Jing and Taiyi Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief.
"Quickly, take me to see the lady."
Li Jing bowed to Taiyi Zhenren and Hao Yunyi, apologized, and quickly ran towards the delivery room.
At this moment, only Taiyi Zhenren and Hao Yun remained in the backyard. Taiyi Zhenren wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long breath.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
Taiyi Zhenren knew that if Hao Yun hadn't intervened, the Spirit Pearl and the Demon Orb would have been snatched away.
Now that the Spirit Pearl has been safely reincarnated, it doesn't matter whether the Demon Orb is lost or not, since in three years, heavenly lightning will descend and destroy the Demon Orb.
"It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Hao Yun, who was checking the system rewards, smiled and shook his head.
The spirit orb given by this system is similar to the one from before. As long as you consume the spirit orb, you can enhance your potential and cultivation speed.
Hao Yun, who was trapped in the Xuanxian realm, was already eager to devour the spirit pearl.
"Thank you so much, esteemed immortals!"
After checking on his wife's condition and seeing his lively and adorable child, Li Jing was overjoyed.
"Li is hosting a banquet; you two immortals might as well join us."
With his mission accomplished, Master Taiyi reverted to his usual unreliable self, his eyes lighting up at the mention of a banquet.
"Haha, then I won't be polite."
Led by Li Jing, the two arrived at the front yard, where dining tables were already set out.
As soon as Li Jing appeared, those who had come to the banquet stood up to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Lord Li, on the birth of your son! Congratulations..."
Amidst the congratulations of the crowd, Li Jing smiled so broadly that his eyes were almost invisible.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
A maidservant chased after Nezha, panting heavily.
Nezha, wearing a red bib, could walk and run after birth. The maid who had been taking care of him was caught off guard when he slipped out.
"Nezha! Don't be silly."
Li Jing grabbed Nezha and held him in his arms.
"Why are you out here instead of staying in your room?"
Nezha was no pushover. As soon as Li Jing held him in his arms, he grabbed Li Jing's beard and yanked it hard, pulling out more than a dozen whiskers.
"Hiss~"
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing Li Jing covering his chin, Nezha burst into laughter, and soon his gaze shifted to Taiyi Zhenren.
Nezha leaped down from Li Jing's arms, grabbed Taiyi Zhenren's trouser leg, and quickly climbed onto his head.
He then revealed his little penis and splashed a handful of boy's urine onto Taiyi Zhenren's head.
"Hey! You little brat."
After wiping his face, Taiyi Zhenren laughed and grabbed Nezha.
"I'm sorry, Immortal Master, Nezha has just been born and doesn't understand many things yet. I..."
Taiyi Zhenren waved his hand dismissively, then chuckled and patted Nezha's bottom.
"Little one, would you like to be my apprentice?"
Despite being a newborn, Nezha is as intelligent as any adult.
Sitting in Taiyi Zhenren's lap, he just stared at Taiyi Zhenren without replying.
Li Jing, standing to the side, grew anxious. He knew that Taiyi Zhenren was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, who was a sage. For his son to be able to become a disciple of a sage was an immense stroke of luck.
"Nha'er, hurry up and kowtow to your master!"
Ignoring Li Jing's words, Nezha turned around and slid off Taiyi Zhenren, ready to run away.
Hao Yun, sitting to the side, smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
Unexpectedly, Nezha turned around and ran towards Hao Yun, grabbing the bell on his waist and refusing to let go.
Hao Yun, who had been watching the commotion, was now in an awkward situation. This bell was a magical artifact he used to set up a protective formation; if one of them was missing, the formation would be broken.
"Nezha, come back right now!"
Seeing Hao Yun's embarrassment, Li Jing immediately told Nezha to go back.
Hao Yun looked down at Nezha, whose big, watery eyes clearly showed that he really liked the bells.
"Fine, since you like it, I'll give it to you."
Hao Yun removed the bell, erased the brand inside, and placed it in Nezha's hand.
Having obtained what he wanted, Nezha happily held up the bell and shook it.
Ring ring!
The clear sound of the bell rang out, and Hao Yun's expression froze. Oh no! This bell magic weapon has the function of captivating people's souls.
Turning to look at the people at the banquet, sure enough, most of them were unconscious and lying on the ground.
"magic weapon?"
Li Jing was a man of great experience and knowledge. When the bell rang, he felt a jolt in his mind and was momentarily disoriented.
Grabbing Nezha's hand, Li Jing snatched the pair of bells, intending to return them to Hao Yun.
Nezha was unhappy that his bell had been taken away, so he opened his mouth to bite Li Jing's hand, intending to snatch the bell back.
"Nezha, come here!"
Hao Yun reached out and scooped Nezha up, then took the bell handed to him by Li Jing and sealed the array on it.
"Take it and play with it."
Seeing the bell return to Nezha's hands, Li Jing wanted to dissuade him, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry, the magic weapon has been sealed."
Taiyi Zhenren, who was standing nearby, reminded Li Jing, and then took out a bracelet and a red silk ribbon from his pocket.
"Nezha, if you become my disciple, both of these magic weapons will be yours. How about it, do you want to become my disciple?"
Nezha, who was playing with the bell, looked at Hao Yun, then at Taiyi Zhenren, hesitated for a moment, and then remained sitting in Hao Yun's lap, ignoring Taiyi Zhenren.
"Oh, little brat, are you not satisfied with these two magical treasures? Then let's add one more. How about this one?"
Taiyi Zhenren, who was determined to take Nezha as his disciple, went to great lengths. First, he took out the superior-grade acquired spiritual treasures, the Qiankun Ring and the Hun Tian Ling, and now he has taken out the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Wind and Fire Wheels.
Hao Yun, sitting to the side, was envious of the three magical treasures.
Nezha looked up at Hao Yun, who smiled and put him on the ground.
"Go ahead, it will be good for you to become his disciple."
It wasn't that Hao Yun didn't want to teach Nezha, but that he really couldn't. With the limited knowledge he had, taking Nezha as a disciple would be a complete waste of his abilities.
Taiyi Zhenren is a disciple of a sage and is about to become one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun. Nezha becoming Taiyi Zhenren's disciple is like having a powerful backer to enjoy the shade.
"Nezha, why aren't you becoming my disciple yet!"
Standing to the side, Li Jing was so anxious that he wished he could press Nezha's head down and make him kowtow and become his disciple.
