System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 79 – When in doubt, run away

Years passed like a fleeting shadow, unnoticed by all things. In the blink of an eye, another ten years had hurried by.

They had allocated their longevity points to their mana, now reaching 42. What pleased them most was that these points hadn't hit a threshold, making their spells increasingly terrifying...

The entire immortal sects of Kingdom Qian had fallen into a deep calm, not even quarreling with Kingdom Wu. Both nations' immortal sects were filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

However, the Five Aggregates Sect was slightly better off. Everyone went about their own business, not yet reaching the heights of the ten great immortal sects.

Ji Kun's aura of malevolence had grown stronger. He could now touch upon the situation between the two nations and informed Chen Xun that there were no immediate issues, though his understanding was limited.

Chen Xun also asked Ji Kun to help him find any body-refining techniques. Ji Kun, having broader connections outside, agreed, knowing that the Five Aggregates Sect had no such techniques.

Ji Kun was initially shocked and tried to dissuade Chen Xun, saying that body refining wouldn't improve his cultivation and that Chen Xun didn't engage in duels.

Despite his words, Ji Kun agreed to keep an eye out during his missions. Over the years, he only brought back some mundane body-refining techniques from the mortal world.

Chen Xun accepted them solemnly, showing no disappointment, and told Ji Kun that these were enough.

Today, two figures stepped into the Spiritual Medicine Garden at Huiquan Stream. Both were Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators, their eyes filled with seriousness.

Their robes were not the usual blue-gray but white and cyan, indicating they were personal disciples of a peak master, their status comparable to Foundation Establishment elders, far above Chen Xun.

"Junior Brother Chen Xun, Black Bull."

Liu Yuan and Shi Jing greeted with cupped hands and smiles, their eyes drawn to the garden's scenery, overlooking the rolling grassy slopes and the stream cutting through.

However, they were surprised to see so much Crane Spirit Tree wood piled everywhere...

In front of several cave abodes in the distance were various brightly colored stones, polished to a shine as if wiped daily.

They had expected Chen Xun to live quite elegantly, but seeing the chicken and pig pens further away, they realized they were mistaken. Junior Brother Chen Xun was still the same as before.

A gentle breeze swept through, flattening countless blades of grass, revealing two figures wearing straw hats. Chen Xun, smiling, walked over with Black Bull.

"Haha, Senior Brother Shi, Senior Sister Liu, is there something you need?" Chen Xun laughed loudly. They had visited him and Black Bull once after their Foundation Establishment, but only briefly outside the garden.

"Moo~" Black Bull also greeted with a smile.

"We're here to bid farewell to Junior Brother Chen."

Shi Jing said, his eyes flashing with a peculiar light, feeling that Chen Xun had a unique aura, an indescribable charm.

"Farewell? Are you going far?" Chen Xun asked, taking off his straw hat. He knew many Foundation Establishment cultivators left the sect to seek opportunities.

"Yes, to the royal capital of Kingdom Qian, to settle some mundane matters." Shi Jing nodded lightly, appearing more composed, his handsome face even more charming.

"Senior Brother Shi and I are from the royal capital. Our families have some connections with the Five Aggregates Sect." Liu Yuan said somewhat sadly, her eyes, like Black Bull's, unable to hide her emotions.

Chen Xun and Black Bull were shocked. They had only ever seen the highest official, the magistrate, in the mortal world.

"Senior Brother Shi, Senior Sister Liu, this is great news! You can go home and visit." Chen Xun said calmly, though he sensed their lack of enthusiasm.

"Master's order, from now on, we must separate from the mortal world." They said in unison, their eyes filled with struggle.

"Junior Brother Chen, must we truly sever our mortal ties on the path of cultivating immortality..."

Liu Yuan asked weakly, looking up at Chen Xun, thinking of her mother, "They're still alive..."

Shi Jing also looked at Chen Xun, his eyes showing a hint of expectation. They had just reached Foundation Establishment and didn't fully understand their master's intentions.

"Moo?" Black Bull also turned to Chen Xun, vaguely understanding why Chen Xun had brought him on the path of cultivating immortality.

Chen Xun had once loved staying in the mortal world, even finding joy in blacksmithing.

"Haha, you're overthinking it. Your master has far more experience than I do. She wouldn't harm you."

Under their expectant gazes, Chen Xun unexpectedly laughed and said this.

They both sighed slightly. Liu Yuan then changed the topic, asking, "Junior Brother Chen, would you like to come with us to the royal capital? The royal dynasty of Kingdom Qian is vast."

This was their true purpose, to invite Chen Xun and Black Bull to join them.

"Moo!" Black Bull's eyes widened. The royal capital of Kingdom Qian must be even bigger than Panning City.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, where is the royal capital of Kingdom Qian?" Chen Xun asked, eyes wide. He and Black Bull had never been to such a grand place.

Moreover, he had never visited the capital in his previous life, leaving a deep regret in his heart.

"In Jin Feng Prefecture, two prefectures away from Zhiyang Prefecture. The journey is long, but if Junior Brother Chen travels with us, you can experience the local customs along the way."

Shi Jing's eyes showed hope. Junior Brother Chen was interesting and kind. They all hoped to travel with Chen Xun and Black Bull.

"Moo?" Black Bull nudged the still-considering Chen Xun.

"Senior Brother Shi, Senior Sister Liu, it's not that I want to refuse you."

Chen Xun said with a struggling expression, regretfully, "Old Bull and I have a cultivation plan. We can't leave for now. We've already been using one stick of incense as two."

"Moo~" Black Bull nodded seriously at them, confirming the truth.

"For example, combining the Fireball Technique with the Iceball Technique to create the Ice and Fire Dual Heaven Technique is a long-term task."

"For example, understanding why different Foundation Establishment techniques run so differently in the body is a big problem."

"How to stack these micro formations, and most importantly, if it's not too much trouble, could you bring me a map of Kingdom Qian?"

Chen Xun cupped his hands, his tone filled with seriousness, expectation, and sincerity.

They had been listening intently, thinking Junior Brother Chen was diligent, but were suddenly brought back to reality by his last request.

Shi Jing, almost entranced, smiled awkwardly, "Junior Brother Chen, don't be so formal. The map is on us."

"Junior Brother Chen Xun, Senior Brother Shi has a high status." Liu Yuan laughed, always with a girlish demeanor.

"That's great. I was worried it would trouble you."

Chen Xun sighed in relief. It's good to have connections. He then smiled, "But if there's a chance in the future, let's travel together."

"Junior Brother Chen, it's a promise!"

"Junior Brother Chen, you said it. I remember, and Black Bull heard it too!"

"Moo moo!!"

"Hahaha..."

Chen Xun laughed, taking a few steps forward, "I wish you a safe journey. But as your senior, let me give you some advice."

"Please, Junior Brother." They cupped their hands solemnly, eyes bright.

"When in doubt, run!"

Chen Xun said each word with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, a crucial life lesson.

Shi Jing and Liu Yuan were stunned, then exchanged glances, smiling, "Yes... Junior Brother Chen."

They then bid farewell to Chen Xun and Black Bull, starting their journey home.

Chen Xun and Black Bull watched them leave, then closed the restriction, and the narrow path slowly filled with mysterious mist.
