Start to live forever, live till the end of time

"Old Niu, Sequence 478, it's stable, 500 contributions, two days is more than what we did in two years!"

Chen Xun lay on the back of the big black bull and checked the yellow talisman in his hand. As soon as the competition was over, he could go to the sect hall to exchange his contribution.

"Moo~" The big black cow turned his head and looked at Chen Xun distressedly.

"Old Niu, what's this? When we were in Panning City, everyone had an easy life, didn't they all survive in the cracks?"

Chen Xun said nonchalantly and smiled, "A little injury can lead to so much contribution. We have made a profit, and we have to thank the sect for giving us the opportunity."

"Moo~" The big black cow nodded, thinking in his mind that it would be great if it could help Chen Xun get hurt. It has rough skin and thick flesh.

Back in the medicine valley, Chen Xun cheered up and applied ointment on various parts of his body. The big black cow also stayed by his side, doing nothing.

"This Bigu Pill can only be used for emergencies. We don't lack the time to eat."

Chen Xun took out an earth-yellow elixir. He also made the elixir once last year. After eating it, he did not feel hungry, but he did not feel full either. It was tasteless.

"Moo!" The big black cow felt deeply. This Bigu Pill was not as delicious as the game in the mountains. It was like a pile of hay piled in his stomach.

"Old Niu, go to work and take care of the medicine valley."

Chen Xun had already put plaster on his body and said with a smile, "How could they really hurt me? I didn't hide on purpose."

"Moo~"

The big black cow turned back three times with each step. It was true that the medicine garden had not been taken care of for two days, and he wanted to take a look.

After the big black cow disappeared from sight, "Hiss." Chen Xun grimaced in pain. Although there was no internal injury, the external injury was really painful.

A few days later, the sect competition ended. Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu rushed towards the sect hall, but the sect did not take the yellow talisman away, saying that it was left as a souvenir for the disciples.

"Junior Brother Chen!"

A familiar voice sounded behind Chen Xun, and he looked happy, "I didn't expect it was really you."

"Senior Brother Ji!" Chen Xun was also overjoyed. He looked at Ji Kun, his face became firmer, but he still looked like a thin monkey.

Chen Xun couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Even if they were in the same sect, it took them two full years to meet by chance.

"Junior brother Chen didn't go to the outer sect to serve as a deacon?"

"I'm going to manage the medicine garden. This is what my family used to do."

They walked to a secluded place under a tree and began to talk about old times. The big black cow followed behind them and lay down on the ground when they stopped.

"Junior Brother Chen, this medicine garden is not a good place. They all call it a place where they have lost their ideals."

Ji Kun felt a little resentful that iron could not become steel, so he tried to persuade them, "There are some old men from the sect who went there because they felt that they could not build a foundation in this life."

"We still have a great time, so don't slack off, Junior Brother Chen!"

"Senior Brother Ji's kindness, I appreciate it, but I really don't like fighting and killing."

Chen Xun also had a troubled expression on his face. He understood what Ji Kun meant. There were many opportunities to become a deacon in the outer sect, which was definitely a good thing for increasing his strength.

"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, you don't know something. Do you know how the disciples in the sect view our casual cultivating disciples?"

Ji Kun showed annoyance, holding his back with one hand and clenching his fist with the other.

"I really don't know about this." Chen Xun shook his head. He felt that these senior brothers and sisters were quite good and had not suffered any discrimination.

"They say we are... stepping stones. Even the elders of Foundation Establishment don't want to see us."

Ji Kun has been serving as a deacon in the outer sect for the past two years, where there are many factions and intrigues, and sometimes his contributions are ignored.

"Brother Ji, what do you mean?" Chen Xun asked calmly. In the past, he would have taken out three mountain axes and gone straight to cause trouble.

"In three years, the secret realm of Nandou Mountain will be opened, but most of the people who go there are casual cultivators."

"Well, I know that, otherwise we wouldn't have the chance to join the sect."

"Junior Brother Chen, do you know how many people can leave every twenty years and how many people can survive?"

Ji Kun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "There are seven hundred people, and less than a hundred people come back. If they don't pick the foundation-building elixir, they won't get anything."

"So dark?!"

Chen Xun was shocked. Although he already knew that they were going to be thugs and cannon fodder, he didn't know that they were already so dark.

"Of course, we are the remaining casual cultivators who have been selected by the top ten immortal sects. On the surface, we are treated equally, but which elder can take a fancy to us."

Ji Kun's eyes were gloomy. Many illusions had been shattered in the past two years, and he had become even more gloomy.

Those casual cultivators who have the potential to build a foundation have already been picked up by the top ten immortal sects. If they want to build a foundation, they have to embark on that bloody road.

"Senior Brother Ji, do you want to go to the Nandou Mountain Secret Realm?" Chen Xun looked at him. He was still at the eighth level of Qi Refining, so he might not be strong enough.

"That's right!" Ji Kun nodded heavily, "I have contributed enough now and am ready to practice hard in seclusion. If I break through the ninth level of Qi refining, my chance of survival will be greater."

"Senior Brother Ji, you can wait for the next twenty years. You are still so young, so you can improve your strength first."

"Junior brother Chen, after twenty-three years, my energy and blood have declined, and my strength has dropped drastically. What can I fight for!"

The fist in Ji Kun's hand was getting tighter and tighter, his eyes were unwilling to give in, he really was not willing to give in.

These words shocked Chen Xun's heart. Yes, the Qi refining period only lasts for a hundred years. It goes by in a blink of an eye. How many twenty years does a cultivator have?

"Junior Brother Chen, the sun is shining brightly today. It's a good day to say goodbye."

Ji Kunping and Yixiao said that he liked Chen Xun very much. He felt that he never had any bad intentions and it was always easy to get along with him.

After working in the Outer Deacon Hall for two years, he found that friends like Chen Xun were even more valuable. Maybe he made the right choice to go to the Medicine Garden.

"Brother Ji, please wait a moment."

Chen Xun quickly took out his storage bag and took out two Heavy Feather Pills and a bottle of Bigu Pill, "Senior Brother Ji, I bought these Heavy Feather Pills in Jiuxing Valley. There are still two pills left, and the medicinal properties have not been lost."

He now also understands that great kindness is like great hatred, and he doesn't dare to show too much and ruin the friendship between the two.

"It turns out to be Chongyu Dan."

Ji Kun was surprised and said that this is a treasure pill from the Qi refining period and is expensive. "Junior brother Chen, I don't have any purpose. Please take it back. You also need it."

"Brother Ji, take it, you need it more than me. We now manage the medicine garden very well and make a lot of contributions every year."

Chen Xun smiled sincerely and quickly put them in Ji Kun's hand.

"It's hard to deny kindness, but I will only accept one Heavy Feather Pill. You take the others back." Ji Kun took it solemnly, his words leaving no room for doubt.

"Hey, okay." Chen Xun sighed quietly and put the other things back into the storage bag.

"Junior Brother Chen, Junior Brother Niu, I'll leave first, you should take care of yourself."

Ji Kun cupped his hands and looked at the big black bull. The latter quickly stood up on all fours and let out a moo.

Under the tree, Ji Kun left. Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu looked at his back, so lonely and determined.

"Senior Brother Ji will definitely build the foundation, Lao Niu, don't you think so?" Chen Xun murmured.

"Moo~~"

Dahei Niu also nodded. Ji Kun in this sect only regarded him as his junior brother, and his merits would bless him.

"Come on, Old Niu, let's go back too. The straw hats haven't been knitted yet."

"Moo~~"

A man and an ox also headed towards the Medicine Valley. A breeze blew by, and countless fallen leaves floated under the trees. It was really beautiful.
