System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 63 – We once crossed mountains and seas
```
"I'll go first. If there's any danger, I can warn you in advance."
"Moo!"
"This time, listen to me. We don't have a master, so we can only feel our way through."
"Moo~"
Black Bull drooped his head, licked Chen Xun, and quickly moved far away. Seeing Chen Xun's serious expression, there was no room for doubt in his words.
Chen Xun calmed his mind, raised his hand slightly, and swallowed a Foundation Establishment Pill. The fierce medicinal power suddenly spread within his body. Chen Xun's eyes widened, and a muffled groan escaped his lips.
Black Bull's face was full of tension. He was about to lift his foot but stood firmly in place, not daring to make any sound. Disturbance during a breakthrough was the greatest taboo.
At this moment, Chen Xun's pores opened wide, and his body began to emit a faint glow. Countless impurities were expelled from his body. His expression alternated between pain and relief, and he gradually closed his eyes.
The iron barrier within his body was continuously being melted by the medicinal power. His dantian was undergoing a tremendous transformation, with waves of medicinal power constantly impacting it.
After a day and a night, Chen Xun was drenched in sweat, his chest heaving as he looked at Black Bull in shock.
"Moo! Moo!" Black Bull kept bellowing, wondering why the breakthrough was in such a state.
"Bull, I'm fine. You know that Foundation Establishment involves the transformation of the dantian into liquid, followed by the birth of divine consciousness in the Niwan Palace, signifying a successful Foundation Establishment."
Chen Xun said in shock, as if something had frightened him, "I failed to establish my foundation, but it wasn't a complete failure."
"Moo?" Black Bull was still nervously stomping his feet. He didn't care about that; he only cared about Chen Xun's current physical condition.
"This Foundation Establishment Pill is actually expanding my dantian..." Chen Xun took a deep breath, "In simple terms, if others can store 1 unit of mana in their dantian, I can store 2..."
"Moo!" Black Bull was shocked. In the world of immortals, it was common knowledge that the dantian couldn't be expanded. Cultivation techniques could only improve one's cultivation, and the difference lay in how well they matched one's physique.
For example, a Heavenly Spirit Root of the water element would find practicing water techniques like adding wings to a tiger. If they practiced fire techniques, it would be twice the effort for half the result.
They practiced common techniques that anyone could use, but they didn't enhance their physique or spells. The gap in duels would widen as their cultivation levels increased.

The Five Element Mixed Spirit Root absorbed a chaotic mix of spiritual qi from heaven and earth, requiring a lot of time to refine impurities. But a Heavenly Spirit Root could directly absorb compatible spiritual qi, saving a lot of time.
Of course, this was just their current understanding, mostly based on hearsay.
"Bull, prepare the spiritual herbs." Chen Xun's eyes sharpened. These five Foundation Establishment Pills were far from enough, especially since Bull needed his share too.
"Moo~" Black Bull quickly ran to the back, not daring to delay.
In the first month, Chen Xun refined spiritual herbs while establishing his foundation, emitting more and more impurities.
...
In the second month, another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was produced, just as peculiar and vastly different from ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills.
...
A year passed with them establishing their foundation and cultivating spiritual herbs. The entire Medicine Valley was incredibly quiet, with only the sound of roosters crowing and the waterfall flowing.
Today, the weather was beautiful, the sky clear. Yet, Medicine Valley was filled with a heavy atmosphere.
The spiritual herbs in several fields moved without wind, and the waterfall outside their secret base was cut off, leaving only an opening. A man and a bull emerged slowly, eyes gleaming.
They exuded the aura of the Foundation Establishment phase, their divine consciousness spreading everywhere, giving them a god-like view of the entire valley, noticing every movement.
"Heh, so this is the scenery from the perspective of the Foundation Establishment phase," Chen Xun said calmly, standing with his hands behind his back.
"Moo!" Black Bull stood beside Chen Xun, muscles bulging, terrifying power surging. The 20-point longevity barrier was finally broken, and they could continue to add points.
They gradually lifted their heads, hands behind their backs, eyes showing a domineering look, their faces breaking into grins.
"Damn it, Bull, we finally broke through!!"
"Moo moo!!"
Their roars seemed to have been building up for countless years, bursting out, causing waves in the pool, constantly shaking.
The Foundation Establishment phase is divided into early, middle, and late stages, with the final step being the formation of the Golden Elixir. If successful, one could practice inedia, walk on air, greatly increase mana, and live for over a thousand years.
But the Golden Elixir phase was still far off. For now, they were content with the Foundation Establishment phase.
"Bull, the Foundation Establishment phase grants a lifespan of four hundred years. We can stay in the sect without wandering and living precariously."
Chen Xun said excitedly, hugging Black Bull's head, "We finally have a stable home..."
"Moo moo~~" Black Bull kept rubbing against Chen Xun, eyes showing emotion. They actually liked stability, at least having a place to rest their weary hearts.
"Bull, let's have a barbecue to celebrate ourselves!"
"Moo moo!"
They leaped into the air, diving into the pool with a splash. Chen Xun's lips trembled slightly, constantly diving into the water. He and Black Bull both understood that what excited them most wasn't just breaking through to the Foundation Establishment phase.
At night, the sky was filled with stars, shining brightly.
Under the night sky, Chen Xun sang while roasting meat on a grill, a bonfire crackling. Black Bull ran around, the sound of bells ringing, harmonizing with Chen Xun.
"Wandering on the road..."
Chen Xun kept nodding and singing, the skewers sizzling in his hand, his eyes always smiling at Black Bull.
His voice grew louder, almost shouting, "We once crossed mountains and seas, and also traversed crowds of people!"
"Moo~~!!!"
...
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"We laughed and cried in our ordinary lives."
"Moo!!!"
...
"Hahaha."
"Moo moo~~"
Chen Xun and Black Bull laughed continuously, the bonfire casting a warm glow, illuminating their happy faces.
Late at night, when everything was quiet, a man and a bull leaned against each other, looking at the starry sky.
After careful consideration, they decided to add their longevity points to mana. For now, this would enhance their strength the most and help them see if there was a threshold in the Foundation Establishment phase.
Their current longevity points: Strength 21, Speed 21, World Soul 20, Mana 21, Defense 11.
...
...
The next day, as the sun rose, a few rays of sunlight brought a sense of coolness and gentleness.
Chen Xun used the Dust Removal Technique on himself and Black Bull several times, smiling as he stood outside Medicine Valley, ready to set off.
According to the rules of the Five Aggregates Sect, upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment phase, one must register at the respective hall. For them, it was the Alchemy Hall.
Black Bull had already hidden his Foundation Establishment cultivation, appearing to be at the seventh level of Qi cultivation. But spirit beasts naturally had longer lifespans than cultivators of the same level, so no one knew how old Black Bull really was.
The Alchemy Hall was on a main peak shrouded in mist, the mountain lush and green, with ancient buildings nestled among the trees. The air was filled with the fragrance of pills, refreshing the weary hearts of countless disciples.
Chen Xun and Black Bull walked leisurely, enjoying the picturesque scenery. They had yet to visit the dozen or so main peaks of the Five Aggregates Sect.
