The cave is actually myself

Chapter 298 Stone in the belly
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu, for your kind invitation. If I have free time, I will come over to Fellow Daoist's Cave to see the fairy party held by Fellow Daoist."

The skinny old man took the star core handed over by Lu Yuan and said.

"It's just that my time is approaching and I no longer have much interest in treasures. I'm afraid I will disappoint you, fellow Taoist."

"There are all kinds of rare treasures in my fairy party, including many treasures that can increase longevity. I wonder if Zhou Daoyou has heard of a sixth-grade spiritual plant, the Yishou Flat Peach, which also has special effects on Yuanying great monks. Small effect.”

Lu Yuan talked eloquently.

The thin old man's expression changed slightly.

"Yeah, I've heard about this kind of spiritual plant, but I didn't expect that my fellow Taoist would actually have such a good treasure."

After seeing Lu Yuan nodding in confirmation, his interest in the Xianyuan meeting was obviously greatly increased. He asked Lu Yuan a few more questions and finally promised to attend.

The two communicated for a while, and the skinny old man took Lu Yuan around Kuixing City to see the local customs and customs inside.

After staying for a few days, Lu Yuan politely refused the emaciated old man's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, left Kuixing City, and returned to the outskirts of the Black Demon Abyss.

Entering the Luobao and Gold Building, there were fewer and fewer monks who could impress him, and Lu Yuan disappeared from the periphery of the Black Demonic Abyss, leaving only the wonderful legend of the Immortal Fate Building, which has been passed down many years later.

In a quiet village.

Lu Yuan walked slowly among them, his spiritual thoughts spreading to the entire village, feeling carefully.

Suddenly, his eyes moved and disappeared into a stream of bloody air.

In a simple room.

A woman with a haggard face was holding a thick silver needle and moving it back and forth on a piece of black monster skin, leaving behind dense needle holes.

The woman has a big belly, which looks very abrupt against her thin figure.

From time to time, she stopped her movements and gently soothed her round belly, showing a hint of tenderness on her haggard face.

Suddenly, there was a creaking sound, the wooden door opened, and a middle-aged man walked in.

The man has a strong physique and wears animal skins, with only a small part of his torso exposed. The heart, vagina and other parts are also protected by armor.

As soon as he walked into the room, he could feel the smell of blood, and the uncondensed blood clots on the man's body showed that he had experienced a big battle not long ago.

"Brother Hai, there were no accidents when we went hunting this time, right?"

The thin woman looked at the middle-aged man with black and red blood clots on his face, with a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Hey, I'm okay. I just suffered a little accidental injury. Brother Xia next door was attacked by a powerful monster. We didn't have time to save him and died on the spot."

"It's a pity that their family is orphaned and widowed. They have lost the backbone of their family and they don't know how to survive in this world!"

"Just now, the village chief and I brought them some monster flesh and blood and materials. I hope they can survive this winter smoothly."

The middle-aged man looked dignified, and carefully took off the animal skin armor on his body. When the animal skin peeled off from the wound, the great pain he felt caused his facial features to deform.

"If I remember correctly, Brother Xia's child is less than two years old."

The thin woman helped her husband remove the animal skin armor with a look of regret, and then used a clean towel to clean away the blood on his body.

She looked at the towel soaked in the basin, dyeing the entire basin of water red, and was lost in thought.

"Yes, he is still three months away from turning two years old. When we were out, my eldest brother even talked to me and said that he wanted to prepare a birthday gift for his little boy. Unexpectedly, this unexpected thing happened."

Thinking of this, the two fell into silence for a moment.

The middle-aged man didn't know what he thought of. He walked up to his mother-in-law, squatted down, put one ear on his round belly, and closed his eyes to listen.

The thin woman gently caressed her husband's exposed side face, as if she wanted to smooth out the deep wrinkles on his cheeks.

Suddenly, there were several knocks on the door outside the house, which was very obvious in this quiet night.

"Who?"

The middle-aged man asked in a deep voice, hunched over, and silently picked up a black giant ax in the corner.

"I passed by this place by chance and saw the master's aura, so I came over to bother me. I hope the master will forgive me."

A gentle voice came from outside the house. The voice seemed to have magical power, making people want to trust the other person involuntarily.

The middle-aged man hid the black giant ax behind his back and signaled his wife to hide in the back room. After the back room door was closed, he opened the door.

A cold wind poured in from outside the house. A long-bearded monk with an immortal style stood at the door, letting the biting cold wind cut on his body like a knife blade.

"Master Immortal, please come in."

Although the middle-aged man's cultivation was not high, he had a good vision. He noticed the unusualness of the long-bearded monk at a glance and saw that he was nailed to the door of the room without moving, so he invited him into his home.

The long-bearded monk was naturally Lu Yuan. When his spiritual mind swept across the village, he discovered a dazzling aura here using the "Immortal Qin Wang Qi Technique" and followed the aura's location to the door of the middle-aged man's house.

He looked at the black giant ax in the man's hand, smiled softly, and entered the room.

After the door was closed, the cold wind outside the house was immediately cut off from the outside world.

Lu Yuan looked around and found that the interior of the house was very crudely decorated, but it was still clean and tidy.

"I don't know why the Immortal Chief is here to visit my humble residence. Li Hai is just a commoner. If there is any conflict with the Immortal Chief, I ask the Immortal Chief to forgive me."

The middle-aged man served Lu Yuan a cup of hot tea and stood aside with his head lowered, looking uneasy.

He himself has only learned some superficial physical skills, and has not formally entered the world of practice, and a monk like Lu Yuan only meets one by chance when he goes hunting in groups in the village.

The captain of the hunting team also specifically told them that if they meet a cultivator, they should show the greatest respect and obey them in everything, without causing them any dissatisfaction.

After all, for ordinary people like them, when a monk gets angry, it is like a thunderbolt, which can turn them into black ash in the blink of an eye.

As for the long-bearded monk who appeared in his home at this time, although Li Hai could not detect his specific cultivation level, he could clearly feel that he was much stronger than the monks he had seen before.

This made him extremely uneasy, fearing that something might hit Lu Yuan.

"Don't be afraid. I came to your house this time just to ask you something. I don't have any ill intentions."

Lu Yuan gently stroked his long beard and said with a smile.

"Is there a baby coming soon at your home?"

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Li Hai's expression changed drastically, fear, struggle, hesitation, expectation and other emotions appeared on his face.

In his heart, since Lu Yuan asked this, he must not be able to hide it, so he finally nodded and admitted.

"Yes, my mother-in-law is pregnant in ten months and is about to enter labor."

"Sure enough."

"I calculated with my fingers that your unborn baby is destined to me. There is a ray of innate energy in his placenta. This ray of innate energy is of great use to me, that is, when I come into your house The only reason.”

"Innate Qi? Please tell me, Chief Immortal, if I lose that so-called innate Qi, what impact will it have on my unborn child?"

"If it is not harmful to his life or growth, or has little impact, and the immortal has the means to take it away from the placenta, then I will give it to you, the immortal."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice.

Veins popped out in the arm holding the black giant ax tightly behind him, and his mood was obviously not as relaxed and normal as his words revealed.

As long as Lu Yuan said that losing his innate energy would be extremely harmful to his children, he would rather give up his life to protect the safety of his wife and children.

"I can tell you frankly that the innate Qi is originally formed along with the baby. It accidentally appears in the placenta of pregnant women. After the baby is born, it will naturally dissipate between heaven and earth."

"If you take it away halfway, it won't have much impact on your child. As for the method of obtaining the innate energy, it depends on your attitude."

"If you have a good attitude, then I will use gentle and harmless methods. If you have a bad attitude, it won't have much impact on me. The innate energy still belongs to me, but the method of obtaining it is a bit rough."

Lu Yuan's expression remained normal as he explained the pros and cons to the middle-aged man in detail.

"I have no other choice but to trust you, the Immortal, and let the Immortal make the decision."

The middle-aged man said helplessly.

"Okay, since you are so understanding, I won't make it difficult for you."

"I'll give you two choices. One is to continue living here. All your actions in the recent period will be under my control until I get the innate energy, and I will give you some benefits at that time."

"The second option is to follow me back to my cave."

"There are thousands of ordinary people like you there who cultivate spiritual plants and take care of spiritual fields for me. I will provide them with an extremely safe living environment. They don't have to worry about food and safety issues. If the opportunity is good enough, I will also provide them with an extremely safe living environment." You can enter my sect and learn all kinds of powerful skills."

Lu Yuan said.

The middle-aged man called his wife who was hiding in the back room and discussed with her in a low voice.

In less than half a moment, the two quickly made a choice, walked to Lu Yuan together, and knelt down.

"Please also ask the Immortal to take us in and teach my children how to practice."

The middle-aged man slammed his head on the ground and said solemnly.

He didn't absolutely believe Lu Yuan's words, but he also knew that if Lu Yuan wanted to harm him, with his unpredictable strength, he could manipulate their family at will.

Furthermore, he could no longer tolerate his living environment.

Lack of food, often actively or passively attacked and killed by strange monsters, living day by day, I don't know if I will be able to see the morning light tomorrow morning.

He didn't want to go on like this, let alone let his soon-to-be-born child repeat his life, so after hearing the options provided by Lu Yuan, he decided to take a serious gamble.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll give you some grievances and keep them in my magic bag for the time being."

Lu Yuan took out the birth bag and was about to put the two of them inside.

For the choice of the two, Lu Yuan has long been aware of it.

The second choice was also specifically proposed by him. Even with the lowest discernment ability, he would make the same choice as a middle-aged man.

Babies with innate qi are extremely rare, each one is endowed with extraordinary talents and is an excellent seedling for cultivation.

It is also the high-quality leek that Lu Yuan has always liked.

With deep blessings and high qualifications, the first wave of rewards provided are extremely generous.

The cultivation speed is extremely fast, and when he breaks through the realm, he can bring a large number of light group rewards. Why doesn't Lu Yuan like this?
"Senior, I have one more thing to ask for. Next door to me, there is a pair of orphans and a widowed mother. The child has just lost his father. I think he is a good person and I think he should have the qualifications to practice. Can you please go over and have a look? If it is suitable, Can we take them into senior’s cave together?”

After his wife secretly pinched the soft flesh of his waist, the middle-aged man suddenly understood and suddenly asked Lu Yuan.

However, his request was well-measured and did not cause Lu Yuan any displeasure.

"Okay, then I'll go and have a look."

Lu Yuan responded casually.

……

Months passed quickly.

During this period of time, Lu Yuan has been wandering around the cultivation world, either looking for fifth- and sixth-grade monsters or collecting unborn babies with innate energy.

If he comes across someone suitable, he will find a way to bring it into the cave.

Most parents will be like middle-aged men. Whether they really want to or are forced to do so, they will choose to follow Lu Yuan into the cave. There are also a few who are stubborn and do not believe in Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan will use the Phantom Eyes to take a look at them. At one glance, those who originally refused suddenly changed their choices and went together.

On this day, he came to a village.

The buildings in the village are extremely weird, made of huge rocks of various weird shapes, and each one looks rough and strange.

Several dark children attracted Lu Yuan's attention,

"Hit her, beat her, beat this witch to death!"

"A child who has been pregnant for two and a half years and has not made a sound must be a weird one inside!"

"Hahahahahaha, try hitting this witch in the stomach, the sound will be so loud after hitting her!"

Several children gathered around a ragged woman, picking up sharp stones from time to time and hitting the woman in the abdomen.

The woman tried her best to curl up and protect her round belly with her hands to avoid being hit by rocks.

Occasionally, a stone hit the woman's abdomen, making a loud noise, as if it had hit an object as hard as iron.

This vision made the children even more excited. They jumped and shouted, picked up more stones and threw them at the woman.

The woman remained silent, trying to protect her abdomen and staring at the children fiercely, looking for opportunities from time to time to try to fight back.

However, her mobility was limited and had no impact on the children. Just when the children started throwing stones again, suddenly, cracks appeared on the woman's skin in their eyes.

There were countless red granulations on the edges of both sides of the crack, and huge strange eyeballs came out of the cracks, looking at the children intently.

This scene made several children feel so anxious that they panicked and ran away.

Lu Yuan quietly came to the woman lying on the ground.

Under the perception of his powerful divine sense and "Xianqin Wangqi Technique", a powerful golden and stone aura shot up from the woman's body and went straight into the sky.

Through the skin of the woman's abdomen, Lu Yuan saw a white stone fetus growing in the middle of the abdomen. The stone fetus seemed to sense Lu Yuan's prying eyes, closed its eyes tightly, and tilted its head slightly to the direction of Lu Yuan.
