Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

"So, he wants to take on a disciple!

He sounded quite sincere!

He said he’s old and frail, with no one to succeed him!

He wants to pass on his legacy!"

"He wants to take our son as his disciple?"

Xu Lei was surprised. "So that’s what this is about!

Where’s our son? Let me see him!"

Previously, Xu Lei had been busy with matters in Celestial Capital City, and Yan’er had gone into labor a bit earlier than the physician predicted.

Her water broke suddenly.

And then she gave birth.

Xu Lei didn’t make it back in time.

Soon, Xu Lei saw a newborn baby boy with very large, sparkling, and adorable eyes.

Xu Lei reached out and probed him, discovering that this son of his actually had a rather good talent for Cultivation.

"It’s true!"

Xu Lei was amazed. "I can’t believe it. Among all our sons, we actually have one with decent talent!"

Because over the years, the children Xu Lei had fathered mostly had poor talent for Cultivation.

"So how should we respond to that old gentleman?"

Yan’er then asked, "Should we let him take our son as his disciple?"

"Let’s not rush. We’ll just say the child is still too young."

Xu Lei thought for a moment before saying, "We’ll test him for a few years and see what his attitude is.

Don’t worry, if he even thinks of trying any underhanded methods...

I’ll step in and kill him directly.

But if he doesn’t, letting him take our son as a disciple might not be out of the question."

After all, if Xu Lei were to teach his son Cultivation himself,

it would cost him a Dao Seed and a great deal of energy.

Besides, Hui Cheng was already old.

It was better to put this waste to use than to simply kill him.

After all, a Human Cultivator’s Origin could not be absorbed like a Demon Core.

Naturally, Yan’er nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Xu Lei, in his guise as "Xu Lei," Yan’er’s husband who had returned from a business trip, went to meet Hui Cheng.

Hui Cheng was staying at their home at this time.

He said he genuinely wanted to take the child as his disciple.

He even channeled his Magical Power to make the teacup in front of him float in the air before Xu Lei.

"A true master is in my presence!"

Xu Lei feigned shock and said with deep respect, "I am but a common man, and I was blind to the greatness before me!

Please forgive my offense!"

Hui Cheng simply smiled faintly, adopting the air of a great master.

Later, when he learned of Xu Lei and Yan’er’s hesitation, he said it was normal.

After all, it made no sense for them to let him take away their newborn child just like that.

However, he could first pass a Dao Seed to the child, and the boy could also spend his first few years practicing Cultivation at home.

He would come regularly to instruct the child.

But once the child was a bit older...

around the age of nine or so...

if the child had made progress in his Cultivation by then and was willing...

he would have to let the child leave with him to become a monk.

Xu Lei, of course, agreed to this.

「Three more years passed in the blink of an eye.」

Over these three years, Xu Lei spent most of his time at his and Yan’er’s home.

He only returned to his other places occasionally.

He had even mostly handed over the management of the Celestial Zen Temple’s Bu Zhong Hall to his other disciples.

And during this time, Hui Cheng did indeed pass a Dao Seed to Xu Lei’s son.

He even moved into their home to teach the child the ways of Cultivation.

This son of Xu Lei’s was quite clever, already speaking fluently at the age of three.

"Master, Master!"

In the courtyard, Xu Lei’s adorable three-year-old son cried out, "Eat meat, eat meat!"

"Thank you."

Hui Cheng smiled as well. "Master doesn’t eat meat. You go ahead and eat.

You can eat more for now, but after you turn ten, you won’t be able to eat so many impure foods."

"Then you can have some candy, Master!"

Xu Lei’s son added, "Candy is very sweet! Daddy bought it for me!"

Hui Cheng’s eyes grew moist. He smiled faintly and accepted the candy.

Xu Lei, disguised as an ordinary secular Landlord, watched silently from a distance.

By now, Xu Lei was certain that Hui Cheng truly did want to take his son as a disciple.

After all, Xu Lei had killed both of his sons.

His Dao Companion was also dead.

And his own path to enlightenment was hopeless.

So he wanted to take on a disciple.

Of course, Xu Lei still hadn’t let him take his son away.

「Another three years passed in the blink of an eye.」

It had been six years!

As for the remaining eleven Enchantresses, traces of two of them had been discovered.

But they only stayed in human cities for a very short time before quickly leaving again.

Xu Lei didn’t even have time to rush over and deal with them.

And without the help of Demon Cores, Xu Lei’s Cultivation progressed slowly.

Now, he still hadn’t broken through the Bodhisattva Tree Realm to reach the next Great Realm.

And during these three years, the bond between Xu Lei’s son and Hui Cheng grew stronger by the day.

Hui Cheng had come to treat this son of Xu Lei’s almost as his own child.

In these three years, Xu Lei and Yan’er had another son.

This son’s talent wasn’t bad, but it was relatively average.

Xu Lei had wanted Hui Cheng to pass a Dao Seed to this son as well.

But Hui Cheng was unwilling.

In this, Xu Lei also expressed respect for Hui Cheng’s opinion.

However, half a month later...

Xu Lei suddenly appeared, assuming the guise he had used when he killed the Old Daoist Nun.

He set up an Array in the woods outside the city to lure Hui Cheng.

Then, he launched a sneak attack on Hui Cheng.

It was almost identical to the plan Hui Cheng had originally intended to use against Xu Lei back then.

A taste of his own medicine!

With his Late-stage Bodhisattva Tree Realm strength, combined with a sudden sneak attack, he forcefully captured Hui Cheng.

After all, Xu Lei had wanted to kill Hui Cheng all along.

It was only because Hui Cheng had spent these years passing a Dao Seed to his son and diligently teaching him the ways of Cultivation that Xu Lei had stayed his hand.

But now, Xu Lei had made his move.

Hui Cheng was old and frail, his Power not only stagnant but actually in decline.

In this life, although Xu Lei was already fifty-one years old,

he still looked like he was in his thirties.

He was still in a state of vigorous progress!

Naturally, Hui Cheng was no match for Xu Lei.

Over the years, Hui Cheng had pretty much taught Xu Lei’s son everything he needed to.

There was no need to actually let his son leave with Hui Cheng to become a monk and pursue Cultivation.
