Rebirth of the Useless Bastard Son

Li Tianyan had been feeling bored while listening to the sounds nearby when he suddenly caught sight of a begging woman at the edge of his vision. What caught Li Tianyan’s attention was the child holding the woman’s hand. The child looked like he had been hungry all year round. He was much thinner than other children of the same age, but his big eyes were more prominent because of this.

“Hello, shopkeeper, please give me some leftover food. The child is really hungry.”

“Go, go, don’t beg in front of my store.”

The woman was driven away by the shopkeeper, so she had no choice but to take her child to the next store. At this time, she happened to arrive at the entrance of the alchemy store, but after taking a look at Li Tianyan, she hurriedly crossed the alchemy store to find other merchants to beg for food.

Li Tianyan couldn’t help but frown when he saw this. Could it be that he looked so fierce and scared people?

“Hey, this woman is also pitiful. Just after her husband died, the store was occupied by Shen Laizi. After all, Shen Laizi was her second uncle, but he didn’t care about any family affection.”

“The shop was obviously bought by Shen Da and his wife through hard work. Shen Laizi said that it was left by their parents. As soon as Shen Da got into trouble, he said that he would take back the Shen family’s property. The Shen family had already ruined by him. Where did the property come from?”

“Those who hang out with gambling houses have no sense of kindness. I just pity the child. Without her father and with a weak mother, he had become a sick child. He didn’t even have enough to eat at such a young age.”

When Li Tianyan heard people talking about the mother and child around him, his brows furrowed even more tightly. He didn’t expect that this was how Shen Laizi’s shop came to be.

At this time, the shopkeeper next door came out and gave the begging woman two steamed buns. After the woman got the food, she took her child and left. Li Tianyan saw this and walked back to the shop.

“Eat first, mother will find food for you later.” The woman handed the two steamed buns to the child. She couldn’t help coughing as soon as she finished speaking.

“Mom, you eat too.” The child put one of the buns back into his mother’s hand, then gnawed on the bun in his hand.

Seeing that the child was eating in a hurry, he must have been starving. The woman waited for him to finish eating the steamed buns, then broke the remaining one in half and shared half with the child.

The two steamed buns went into her stomach quickly, and the woman was ready to go back to the street to beg for food. She had to get more food while she could still get out of bed.

But at this moment, a sinister wind blew past the mother and daughter. The woman was startled when she noticed the evil spirit and immediately put the child into her arms.

When the cold wind disappeared, the woman slowly raised her head. There was still no one in the dilapidated alley, but there was a red storage bag in the rice bowl she had used to beg.

.

A month later, the spiritual energy in the Qiankun Realm suddenly surged, all heading toward a stone room in the cave.

Cheng Qi, who had been in seclusion in the stone chamber, quickly absorbed the majestic spiritual energy around him, and his aura gradually increased as the spiritual energy entered his body.

Li Tianyan, who had been studying the ancient formation map, suddenly noticed something strange in the Qiankun Realm. He took a deep look and found that Cheng Qi was about to advance. When he looked more closely, Cheng Qi, who was in trance, had a purple Lihuo seal on his forehead, faintly visible.

Seeing this scene, Li Tianyan couldn’t help but feel his heart beat faster. The Emperor’s Pill had really worked, which meant that the inner fire had become a part of Cheng Qi’s bloodline. The little shuanger was indeed the Lihuo Beast.

Although he already had the answer in his heart, this moment still made Li Tianyan’s emotions surge.

One day later, the spiritual energy in the Qiankun Realm finally calmed down. The aura on Cheng Qi’s body quickly converged after it surged, and the Lihuo Seal on his forehead also sank.

When Cheng Qi opened his eyes, he realized that he had reached the middle stage of core formation. He couldn’t help but get up and jump a few times excitedly. “I finally caught up with the young master.”

“So happy.” Li Tianyan pushed the door open and said humorously when he saw the little shuanger jumping around in the room.

“Young master, look.” Cheng Qi jumped on Li Tianyan, smiling so hard that his eyebrows arched. “I have advanced.”

“Yes.” Li Tianyan hugged the person tightly, turned, and walked to another room. “Now that you’ve advanced, we should celebrate.”

“How should we celebrate?” Cheng Qi hugged Li Tianyan’s neck tightly and blinked at him. “Get something delicious?”

“That’s a good idea.” Li Tianyan smiled; the little shuanger was indeed quite sweet.

So, Cheng Qi, who had just come out of seclusion, was taken back to bed by someone and eaten over and over like a fried fish.

Cheng Qi had taken the Emperor’s Pill, and now Li Tianyan could finally retreat in peace. The death energy from the death of the Mad Ape was still sealed in his Dantian and couldn’t be digested.

This approach was actually quite risky. It was like having a ticking bomb in the body. If he wasn’t careful when fighting the enemy, it could set him on fire. So, if he couldn’t use it for his own benefit, Li Tianyan could only expel it. This was definitely not a pleasant experience for him.

In the next three months, Li Tianyan tried various methods. After being smelted by Yin fire, the ball of death energy finally merged with his true spiritual energy.

After dispelling the death aura of a Nascent Soul demon cultivator, Li Tianyan’s cultivation level also improved to the late core formation stage.

Cheng Qi was thrown aside as soon as he caught up with him. Cheng Qi’s fighting spirit was completely aroused by Li Tianyan, and he was no longer in the mood to play. Apart from refining alchemy, he practiced hard every day.

However, both of them had just advanced, and it was impossible to rely on seclusion to practice further. Just when Li Tianyan was about to leave the city to practice, two cultivators with black hair suddenly came to the shop.

“What a strong ghost spirit.” Tan Eyu said with excitement in her eyes as she looked at the two people who had entered.

She had smelled the scent of ghosts on these two cultivators.
