System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 70 – The world of cultivating immortality is grand and exciting; one will never be alone
"You laugh at your mother!"
Boom!
Chen Xun's punch smashed into the wall behind Ji Kun, creating a terrifying hole. The icy wind howled through it.
Ji Kun broke out in a cold sweat, finally calming down. The chilling wind from behind sent shivers through his entire body, and he felt a sudden sense of impending doom.
Chen Xun slowly raised his fist again, his violent mana surging towards Ji Kun as if to kill him with a single blow.
Ji Kun's eyes narrowed, filled with a cold gleam, and he threw a fierce punch!
"Moo!!"
"Chen Xun!"
Whoosh! The fierce wind from the punch stopped abruptly, just inches from Ji Kun's face, causing his gray hair to fly back.
But Ji Kun didn't even blink. He stared directly at Chen Xun and calmly said, "Uncle-Master Chen, please lower your hand."
Chen Xun stepped back and lowered his hand, his eyes still cold.
"I will go to the Secret Realm of Nandou Mountain."
"I know."
"Many things happened in the Secret Realm of Nandou Mountain back then. I don't want to involve you."
"Is it resolved?"
"It's resolved, but I can't stay among the outer sect disciples anymore."
Ji Kun's face was calm, showing signs of age. His gaze towards Chen Xun finally changed, and he said with relief, "I didn't expect you to remember me... Congratulations on reaching Foundation Establishment, Uncle-Master. Please sit."
The wind continued to howl through the large hole, but the two of them sat opposite each other at a wooden table. Black Bull only dared to stick its head through the door, having been frightened by Chen Xun earlier.
They suddenly began to talk as if nothing had happened.
It turned out that after Ji Kun left with his junior sister, they found the deserter and had Ji Kun hand over the spiritual herbs for safekeeping.
Of course, he refused. Both of them were furious and started fighting, aiming to kill. The junior sister also joined Ji Kun's side and killed the deserter in Nandou Mountain.
The person who could team up with them was naturally not weak, a fellow outer sect deacon and a distant relative of an elder. After returning, the junior sister suddenly betrayed them, accusing Ji Kun of harming fellow disciples.
She twisted the truth, claiming that they had picked the spiritual herbs together, but Ji Kun had ambushed her. To protect herself, she had to submit to Ji Kun.
Ji Kun indeed acted recklessly, unlike Chen Xun. He took many of the deserter's belongings, making him appear guilty. Fortunately, he insisted that it was someone from another immortal sect who killed the deserter, preventing the situation from escalating further.
Not only the Five Aggregates Sect but all immortal sects strictly forbade harming fellow disciples. However, they couldn't just listen to the junior sister's side of the story.
Under the elder's manipulation, Ji Kun's spiritual herbs and contributions were credited to the junior sister.
Most Foundation Establishment elders were cold-hearted. Ji Kun wasn't their own son, so they only used him to save face. Ji Kun had a tough time for several years, but the sect's protection allowed him to survive.
However, he bore the stigma of harming fellow disciples. His friends distanced themselves, and finding a job in the sect was extremely difficult.
In such circumstances, how could he seek out Chen Xun? He didn't want to harm the pure junior brother who always smiled and led the black bull.
He endured humiliation and suffering, all for the next twenty-year trip to Nandou Mountain, preparing for a final gamble.
"Senior Brother Ji, if you can return from Nandou Mountain, you will still be my senior brother."
"Uncle-Master, this..."
"Listen to me first."
Chen Xun interrupted Ji Kun, his expression solemn. He took out a booklet and a magical artifact from his storage bag. "This is a top-grade Yellow-tier magical artifact, worth two thousand contribution points. The booklet contains some of my insights from Nandou Mountain, which can help you obtain those three main spiritual herbs."
Ji Kun was shocked, standing up abruptly and shouting, "How can this be! Chen Xun, you owe me nothing!"
"These two thousand contributions are what you owe me. If you can return with the Foundation Establishment spiritual herbs, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain and personally give you the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Chen Xun spoke each word clearly, slowly raising his head to look at Ji Kun. Suddenly, he smiled, "We both came from Nine Stars Valley, so we should look out for each other."
These familiar words suddenly resurfaced in Ji Kun's mind. Wasn't this what he said to Chen Xun when they first arrived at the Five Aggregates Sect? He didn't expect Chen Xun to remember it all these years...
Ji Kun seemed unable to hold back any longer. His body trembled, and after experiencing life's ups and downs, he finally saw who his true friend was. His eyes reddened, and his lips quivered.
The world of cultivating immortality is grand and exciting; one will never be alone... In the race of a hundred boats, my path is not lonely. Competing with the heavens, my path endures...
For some reason, a passage from an ancient book surfaced in Ji Kun's mind, sending a shiver down his spine. He slowly looked at Chen Xun, their eyes meeting, and he nodded heavily, no longer being pretentious.
"What is that woman's name?"
"Su Yeyue."
"If Senior Brother Ji cannot return, I will deal with her for you. She will disappear without a trace, and the sect will never find any evidence."
"You..."
"Senior Brother Ji, don't think I'm some great person."
Chen Xun slowly stood up, revealing a cold and sinister expression Ji Kun had never seen before. "If Senior Brother Ji returns, I will not interfere in your matters with her."
Ji Kun took a deep breath, feeling like he was seeing Chen Xun anew today. "I understand."
Sometimes, the bond between men doesn't need many words.
Chen Xun nodded slightly and turned to leave. But when he reached the door, he stopped and said, "Senior Brother Ji, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain."
"I won't disappoint you." Ji Kun's eyes suddenly turned sharp, feeling a surge of indescribable power within him...
"Heh, this is the Senior Brother Ji I know."
A soft murmur sounded as Chen Xun led Black Bull away, disappearing from sight. "Senior Brother Ji, I'll come back later to help you repair the cabin. Bull and I are going to chop some wood."
A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

"Moo!!"
Two voices echoed in the distance, and two figures walked steadily through the wind and snow, firm and reliable.
Ji Kun clenched his fists tightly, looking into the distance, veins bulging on his arms and head. This time, he must win!
He won't let them down...
...
Time flew by, and another May passed. The bells rang throughout the Five Aggregates Sect, and five high-pitched eagle cries echoed. Five majestic Azure Cliff Eagles appeared in the sky.
They circled freely in the sky, their cold eyes fixed on the ground, flying towards the Sect Leader's Peak.
The twenty-year trip to Nandou Mountain had finally begun. Chen Xun led Black Bull, standing at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the sky with a calm expression.
"Bull, let's go."
"Moo~"
They headed towards a market in the sect, preparing to meet someone important.
Qi cultivation phase disciples were stationed all over the Five Aggregates Sect, constantly looking up at the sky, discussing the upcoming trip to Nandou Mountain.
Unaware, an Uncle-Master was leading a black bull, passing right by them.
