Chapter 2034: Chapter 1989: Body of Life (2)

"Hmm, you should return for now. If he is willing to become your disciple, I will certainly support you, don’t worry," Chen Yang said.

"Hehe, with your words, I am relieved. Let’s go with that," Taoist Liu said happily.

He had been searching for a talented disciple and finally found one today.

After a brief conversation, Taoist Liu left ahead of them.

He had his own matters to attend to.

After Taoist Liu left, Chen Yang and Chen Tianmin’s thoughts became complicated.

Chen Hao has a defying life body, which is a good thing.

This means they have a talented younger member, and with proper training, he will become a great asset.

But Chen Hao had just experienced the tragic loss of all his relatives. Is it appropriate to let him enter the cultivation world now?

"Second Uncle, what do you think about this matter?" Chen Yang asked, feeling a bit conflicted, seeking Chen Tianmin’s opinion.

Chen Tianmin took a deep breath, then said, "Some things, you have to tell him, you must tell him."

"This child’s burdens are heavier than ours... Our Chen Family was destroyed, and he not only has old grievances but also new enmities with Blood Bat Hall. If you don’t let him know now, it might become even more troublesome when he finds out later."

Chen Tianmin knew what Chen Yang was thinking.

He simply didn’t want Chen Hao to grow up bearing hatred from a young age.

After all, he is just an eight or nine-year-old child.

"So your suggestion is to tell him about his own identity, including the Blood Bat Hall?" Chen Yang asked.

"Yes, we must tell him, but not now. I’ll tell him when there’s a chance." Chen Tianmin was still a bit concerned, given that Chen Hao was still badly injured.

"Alright." Seeing his second uncle say so, Chen Yang didn’t say anything more and nodded in agreement.

Afterward, the uncle and nephew did not part ways but stayed in the backyard and talked a lot.

The conversation mostly revolved around the past of the Chen Family and the incident of Blood Bat Hall slaughtering Chen Family Village.

The two talked until the middle of the night when Chen Tianmin finally left Chen Yang’s clinic and returned to Green Cloud Taoist Temple.

And in the latter half of the night, Chen Yang seized some time to cultivate.

Early the next morning, Taoist Liu returned to the clinic.

Of course, he was not here to see Chen Yang.

He was here to see little Chen Hao.

Regarding Chen Hao’s talent, it’s not an exaggeration to say Taoist Liu was drooling.

"Chen Yang, my young friend, has Chen Hao, my disciple, woken up? I can’t wait to accept him as my disciple," Taoist Liu said excitedly, with restless hands reflecting his mood.

Chen Yang found it amusing and frustrating. This old fellow is really something.

"I don’t know, you can go check yourself. I’m preparing herbs today for a medicinal bath to help him recover quickly," Chen Yang said with a smile.

"Alright, I’ll go then." Hearing this, Taoist Liu rushed off without hesitation.

Chen Yang didn’t bother about him and went directly to the herb garden to pick herbs.

The two herb plots in the yard had been well-nourished by precious ginseng, so they grew very well.

Each plant emitted unusual colors, swaying in the wind, appearing extraordinary.

The mature herbs exuded a rich fragrance, making the entire yard very comfortable and soothing.

He picked some herbs helpful for recovering from injuries and then went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water for the medicinal bath.

After busying himself for about an hour, everything was ready.

Only then did he enter Chen Hao’s room.

"Little friend, as long as you become my disciple, I can teach you extraordinary skills. By then, you’ll not only be a powerful cultivator but also have the ability to take revenge for your deceased relatives. Don’t you want that?"

Upon entering the room, Chen Yang saw Taoist Liu talking endlessly to Chen Hao.

However, Chen Hao apparently wasn’t very interested in what he was saying.

"Grandpa, I’m not interested in what you said; I just want to follow Uncle Chen Yang," Chen Hao replied politely.

"Why are you so stubborn? What future do you have following him? Follow me, and I can provide a better environment for your growth—understand?" Taoist Liu tried to coax him after failing to convince him.

"..." Chen Yang happened to hear him say this and was suddenly at a loss for words.

"Old fellow, what nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Yang entered the room with large strides.

"Hmm? Hehe, Chen Yang, my young friend, you’re here? I was just having a chat with my disciple—didn’t say anything, really," Taoist Liu turned to see Chen Yang, his face full of embarrassment.

He quickly waved and laughed awkwardly, changing the topic by asking, "By the way, Chen Yang, my young friend, have you prepared the medicinal bath for Chen Hao you mentioned earlier?"

"Chen Hao, get up for the medicinal bath." Chen Yang ignored him and directly spoke to Chen Hao.

"Alright, Uncle Chen Yang." Chen Hao obediently nodded, got off the bed, and followed Chen Yang out of the room for the medicinal bath.

When they reached the prepared large bucket, Chen Hao was stunned.

Because the water in the bucket was boiling hot, is it possible to soak in it?

"Uncle Chen Yang... this." Chen Hao hesitated.

Chen Yang thought for a moment and channeled Spiritual Energy into Chen Hao’s body, saying, "Just relax and go in."

"Okay." Chen Hao felt a bit scared but trusted Chen Yang. He took off his clothes and slowly immersed himself in the water.

Initially, he felt a very intense warmth, but as he sank, the hot feeling gradually faded.

Soon it became comfortable, pleasantly warm, without any other sensations.

At this time, Taoist Liu, who had been watching from the side, sniffed twice before smilingly saying to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, my young friend, you really put in a lot of effort preparing this medicinal bath. Did you pour too much effort into it?"

Taoist Liu had some knowledge of medicine.

Just by smelling, he could tell that the medicinal bath contained many rare herbs—it was quite remarkable.

"It’s alright; I didn’t use much." Chen Yang was indifferent.

The herbs in his yard were abundant, and using them for Chen Hao was not a waste.

"Hehe," Taoist Liu chuckled and didn’t say more.

He quietly stood by the bucket, watching the herbs evaporate.

About half an hour later, the bucket’s temperature returned to normal, marking the end of the medicinal bath.

Chen Hao emerged from the bucket, and Chen Yang checked his wounds.

The severe injuries sustained the day before had completely healed and scabbed over today!

This speed was astonishing, truly remarkable.

"Amazing, this astounding vitality—if properly harnessed, could truly achieve what’s recorded in the books," Taoist Liu exclaimed in awe.

Chen Yang nodded slightly; Chen Hao’s constitution was indeed wondrous.

Though his medical skills were excellent, this rapid recovery was mainly due to Chen Hao’s robust vitality.

"Uncle Chen Yang, am I almost healed?" Chen Hao asked, hearing their conversation, with a curious look at Chen Yang and Taoist Liu.

"You’re almost healed, but not fully recovered yet. Don’t engage in strenuous activities; if you don’t want to rest, just move around the yard," Chen Yang advised.

"Okay," Chen Hao nodded obediently, dressed, and returned to his room.

"Chen Yang, my young friend, have you thought about it since yesterday? I am very satisfied with Chen Hao as my disciple; you must let him become my disciple," Taoist Liu resumed with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang felt helpless, "I can’t make that decision; it’s mainly up to him. If he wishes to be your disciple, I’ll definitely support it."

"Well, you say that, but the kid is stubborn—he insists on following your wishes," Taoist Liu was getting anxious.

He tried persuading Chen Hao, but Chen Hao was unwilling.

"..." Chen Yang was speechless.

"Let’s wait until Chen Hao is fully recovered to discuss it further; now is not the time to talk about this," Chen Yang decided to postpone the matter.

Taoist Liu didn’t persist, "Okay, then we’ll talk about it later."

The conversation ended, but suddenly He Xiran arrived.
