System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible Chapter 74 – The rich woman in Chen Xun's eyes
Half a year later, the Foundation Establishnt Pills were finally ready in the Alchemy Hall. Chen Xun volunteered to deliver the pills to Ji Kun, saying they both ca from Nine Stars Valley and he wanted to see him off on his final journey...
The elders had no objections. It was a favor easily granted, and delivering a Foundation Establishnt Pill to a rogue cultivator had no real benefit, as most people failed at Foundation Establishnt. There had even been incidents of resentnt within the sect because of this.
They handed Chen Xun a jade bottle containing a single, pitch-black, glossy Foundation Establishnt Pill.
The Five Aggregates Sect had strict rules and severely punished corruption. If the Foundation Establishnt Pill didn't reach the disciple, the offender would face imprisonnt in the Law Enforcent Hall at best, or have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the sect at worst.
If such corruption were allowed, who would still be willing to serve the sect? It would lead to a lack of successors, as not everyone could rely on talent alone to achieve Foundation Establishnt.
Chen Xun, riding his sword with Black Bull, had already swapped the pill in the bottle. The pill he carried was a white, unmarked Foundation Establishnt Pill, which he had coated with a black liquid.
Arriving at the sa old house, Ji Kun, with a sharp gaze, waited patiently for Chen Xun every day.
Whoosh!
A streak of sword light ca from the distant sky. Ji Kun smiled, recognizing the large black figure as undoubtedly Bull. It always liked to stay behind Chen Xun.
"Ji Kun!" Chen Xun saw the figure in front of the house and burst into laughter.
"Uncle-Master Chen!"
Ji Kun bowed deeply, his voice filled with emotion—bitterness, relief, hope, and deep gratitude...
"We've co to deliver your Foundation Establishnt Pill."
"Moo!"
For the full version, visit [ ].
They descended on their swords, eyes gleaming with joy, and took out the jade bottle, ready to hand it to Ji Kun.
But Ji Kun remained bowed. The Foundation Establishnt Pill was no longer that important to him. Even if he couldn't achieve Foundation Establishnt, having a friend like Chen Xun was enough for this life.
"Take it." Chen Xun used a bit of mana to lift him, but suddenly, both he and Black Bull were shocked, their eyes widening.
Ji Kun was crying uncontrollably, tears and snot streaming down his face, yet he made no sound. Even a bubble of snot burst with a pop as he inhaled.
The scene was too much. Chen Xun and Black Bull couldn't hold back, their stomachs twitching with suppressed laughter, though they maintained their composure and respect for Ji Kun, not laughing out loud.
"Take it, and rember you still owe two thousand contributions."
Chen Xun smiled, taking out a brocade pouch from his storage bag. "If you succeed in Foundation Establishnt, open this, read it, and then destroy it."
"Yes, Uncle-Master Chen."
Ji Kun carefully accepted it without asking why. He took out a magical artifact from his storage bag. "Uncle-Master Chen, this is yours, but I will never delay repaying those contributions."
"Ah, what use do we have for magical artifacts in the Spiritual dicine Garden? Just repay the contributions when you can."
"Moo!"
Chen Xun and Black Bull shook their heads, not caring at all.
Ji Kun frowned, determined to return the magical artifact to Chen Xun today. But then Chen Xun suddenly scread, "Bull, up on the sword, retreat quickly!"
"Moo~~"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A cloud of dust rose, and Ji Kun was left standing in a haze of dirt, staring blankly at the disappearing figures of Chen Xun and Black Bull, speechless for a long ti. What a swift and dashing departure.
"Hehe, Uncle-Master Chen, Junior Brother Bull, who are you really..." Ji Kun looked at the sky with a faint smile, warmth flowing in his heart.
...
Instead of returning to the Spiritual dicine Garden, Chen Xun and Black Bull went to the Alchemy Hall. They had heard that Senior Sister Zuo was there today. She was a master of pill refining, and many Inner Disciples' Foundation Establishnt Pills were made by her.
"Bull, show more emotion, yes, a bit more sorrowful."
Chen Xun adjusted Bull's head, making Black Bull droop its head, eyes filled with sadness, mooing softly.
"Perfect, just like that." Chen Xun coughed, then imdiately changed his expression to one of deep mourning, as if a family mber had died. He led Black Bull into the main hall, both of them looking dejected and sorrowful, startling the passing disciples. What had happened to Uncle-Master and his spirit beast?
When Zuo Yiyin heard Chen Xun wanted to see her, she was also surprised by their appearance. Had the Spiritual dicine Garden been destroyed?!
Unexpectedly, Chen Xun said, "Senior Sister Zuo, I'm in a difficult situation. The techniques in the Contribution Hall are too expensive and don't suit my constitution. Do you have any common Foundation Establishnt techniques?"
Zuo Yiyin was taken aback, then genuinely amused by Chen Xun. Her eyes sparkled like clear water, and a beautiful smile curved her lips. She said,
"It was my oversight when you joined. There are very few with Five Elent Mixed Spirit Roots, so the main hall doesn't have such techniques."
"Hehe, hehe." Chen Xun awkwardly bowed, knowing such techniques were too low-level to be displayed in the main hall.
"Junior Brother, wait a mont." Zuo Yiyin said softly, then disappeared in a fragrant breeze, leaving Chen Xun and Black Bull blinking in amazent. Was this body technique? They wished to combine their strength and speed into Foundation Establishnt spells but hadn't found a way yet.
Soon, Zuo Yiyin returned, holding a technique book. "Junior Brother Chen Xun, I give you this 'Hundred Refinents Five Elents Technique.'"
"Foundation Establishnt techniques often include special spells. Although this one has no special features, it cos with a minor body technique called 'Five Elents Shadow Escape.'"
"I think it suits soone like you who cultivates spiritual herbs. While you may not be strong in duels, having a body technique can help you protect yourself outside the sect."
She raised her hand, and the technique floated to Chen Xun, landing perfectly in his hand.
Chen Xun and Black Bull were deeply moved. He solemnly said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Zuo, for the gift of this technique!"
Though won might affect their cultivation speed, a benefactor like her wouldn't, as she only provided better techniques...
"Moo~~" Black Bull also bowed its head, continuously thanking Senior Sister Zuo. She truly lived up to her position as a deputy peak master, handling things thoroughly.
"This is what Junior Brother Chen deserves. This technique isn't precious. Go on." Zuo Yiyin smiled slightly. Such techniques were nurous, and those for Five Elent Mixed Spirit Roots were increasingly abandoned.
With the developnt of the world of immortals, resources were depleting, unlike thousands of years ago. Many spiritual herbs were extinct, making it hard for those with Five Elent Mixed Spirit Roots to achieve Foundation Establishnt.
Many high-ranking figures in the Kingdom Qian concluded that the massive consumption of ancient cultivation resources was due to cultivators with Five Elent Mixed Spirit Roots. They consud too many resources and were nurous.
From the countless Five Elent Mixed Spirit Root techniques passed down, their speculation wasn't baseless. These techniques were not only ordinary but also quite impractical...
However, Chen Xun and Black Bull treated it as a treasure, constantly marveling at the goodness in the world on their way back, rembering this favor.
"Bull, why can't we beco deputy peak masters, but Senior Sister Zuo can?"
"Moo?"
"Because of her generosity! Does the Alchemy Hall lack a late Foundation Establishnt cultivator? If there were a vote, I'd be the first to vote for Senior Sister Zuo!"
"Moo moo!!" Black Bull's eyes lit up, nudging Chen Xun. It wanted to vote for Senior Sister Zuo too.
"Hahaha..."
Laughter echoed along the way, a huge burden lifted from their hearts. They finally solved the problem of the technique and walked joyfully towards the Spiritual dicine Garden.
