System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible

Over the past year, they continued to gather herbs in the mountains, identify medicinal materials, study medicine daily, and cultivate the Qi Refining Techniques, enriching their lives to the point where Chen Xun couldn't help but exclaim how wonderful it was to be alive.@@novelbin@@

He had once fantasized about what immortality would be like: watching the world change, histories unfold, with countless tombstones behind him, leaving only a solitary figure in the human realm.

But now, Chen Xun would say to hell with profundity, the joy of an immortal wild man, how could mere mortals understand.

In a cave, Chen Xun and Black Bull had moved again. Continuous heavy rains in the mountains had collapsed their earthen homes, but Black Bull had managed to save all their pots and pans, so things turned out smoothly.

"Bull, hahaha."

Chen Xun, drenched to the skin, laughed heartily, not caring in the least about the loss of their home. He gave Black Bull a hearty punch, "I've always known you were capable since I was a kid."

"Moo moo moo!"

Black Bull happily bounced around. Chen Xun was clearing the entrance of the cave at the time, and all their belongings were saved by it.

"Let's give it a try and see what this World Soul really is."

Chen Xun grinned and started a fire, looking at the torrential rain outside the cave, feeling content. The sound of the rain was truly pleasant to the ear.

"Moo!"

Black Bull responded, also starting to help, occasionally running out to get drenched in the rain and then shaking the water off onto Chen Xun.

Chen Xun, infuriated, unleashed his mighty strength, drenching the stubborn bull like a drowned rat.

The man and bull warmed themselves by the fire. Chen Xun applied the longevity point to the World Soul, and in an instant, his face changed dramatically, and a green glow surged through his body.

"Moo moo moo!!"

Black Bull's eyes filled with terror as it sprang up, frantically bellowing and circling Chen Xun.

"Bull, I'm fine."

Chen Xun took a deep breath and hugged Black Bull, "It's the World Soul."

"Moo~" Black Bull mooed softly, terrified. If anything happened to Chen Xun, it wouldn't want to live either.

"Let me try."

Chen Xun's expression turned serious. He spread his palm open, and a green light flickered on his body, brightening and dimming, until a drop of green liquid, as dazzling as a gemstone, condensed in the center of his hand.

His body went limp, breaking out in a cold sweat as if he had run eight hundred miles, he exclaimed, "This thing isn't sapping my essence, is it..."

"Moo?"

"Bull, your turn to try."

"Moo."

Before long, a drop of green liquid also condensed on the bull's hoof, and both man and bull collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Black Bull finally understood what Chen Xun meant; it seemed to see a few young cows giggling.

"It's a trap."

Chen Xun trembled, the man with sixteen abs, praised by neighbors for his enduring strength at the forge, was now nearly spent.

"Moo~"

Black Bull's eyes were lifeless, filled with despair. It had thought itself invincible among the bulls, only to be defeated in a single round.

An hour later, they had fully recovered. Chen Xun's eyes flickered with fear; had they encountered any wild beasts just now, they would have been in danger.

"Bull, we shouldn't use the World Soul carelessly, at least we need to use it separately."

Chen Xun felt his body, finding no sense of loss, but as a doctor, he said, "Tomorrow I'll brew some medicinal soup to replenish our bodies. We can't be careless."

"Moo moo~" Black Bull nodded happily, learning medicine was indeed beneficial.

"What's the use, it looks like a green gemstone."

Chen Xun frowned at the drop of green liquid in his palm, which was indeed peculiar and did not dissipate like a water droplet.

He picked up the Mountain-axing axe and placed the green liquid on it, but there was no reaction.

He tried it on pots and pans... no reaction...

He even took a stone and placed the green liquid on it... no reaction...

Finally, with no other options, he placed it on a bandit's headscarf... still no reaction...

"Moo~!!"

Black Bull cried out in alarm. Chen Xun was startled and looked at Black Bull's position. It lay prostrate on the ground, examining the patterns on a wild grass.

"Brilliant."

Chen Xun exclaimed in shock, looking at Black Bull, and placed the green liquid on it too. Instantly, it merged with the wild grass, undergoing a noticeable change.

"Moo?"

"Bull, this is an astounding discovery, the green liquid can actually accelerate growth."

Chen Xun clicked his tongue in amazement, spitting out a mouthful of dirt as he spoke, "But we still need to observe further. If it's really like this, we're going to soar."

"Moo moo moo!"

Black Bull grinned, carefully protecting the wild grass.

Chen Xun spread his palm, resolved to go all out, his features contorted as he roared, "I am a pharmacist, what does it matter if it drains me!"

Black Bull: "......"

Silence, as if deathly still, only the pitter-patter of the rain outside the cave could be heard.

Chen Xun was embarrassed; his palm showed no reaction, and he could no longer condense the green liquid. He coughed lightly, "Bull, you try."

"Moo." Black Bull spread its hoof, seemingly straining its entire body, but also with no reaction.

"It's fine... we'll keep trying, we're not short on time."

"Moo moo~"

...

Time flows like a journey in reverse, propelling people forward. Another year flew by, and the outskirts of the Cloud Mountains began to buzz with tales of a terrifying wild man.

This wild man often roamed the deep forests, accompanied by a wild bull, known for feasting on human bones. Many locals' skeletons were picked clean by them.

At night, eerie suona sounds echoed through the mountain forest, accompanied by strange bell chimes, like soul-reaping messengers. If one encountered this wild man, it was better to bury oneself in a pit if unable to kill him.

Countless locals sweated profusely upon hearing this. They dared not venture deep into the Cloud Mountains, and now a wild man had appeared on the periphery. How were they to live in peace?

Now, locals entering the mountains traveled in groups, armed and vigilant against sudden attacks by the wild man. Killing him would earn a reward from the authorities, and many bounty hunters quietly joined the hunt.

At the foot of a mountain peak, Chen Xun and Black Bull were collecting human bones.

"Bull, although we don't know them, there are rules to our trade, aren't there?"

Chen Xun picked up a human bone from a pile of grass, "Building a tomb for them is also a way of accumulating merit. These days, who has it easy?"

"Moo moo~!"

Black Bull nodded vigorously; they had already accumulated much merit. As Old Sun said, the heavens would bless them.

"Look, with that one step, ten years of merit are gone."

"Moo moo moo!!!"

Black Bull suddenly lifted its leg and bellowed, having accidentally stepped on a bone. It looked pleadingly at Chen Xun.

"Alright, today I'll eat meat, and you'll have soup. Buddha will forgive you."

"Moo! Moo~"

Black Bull struggled with the decision, but for the sake of merit, it nodded. Missing one meal wouldn't kill it.

They found a nearby pit and buried the bones, beginning to conduct a ritual.

Black Bull was extremely diligent, its bell clanging loudly. It had accidentally stepped on the person's bones and wanted to make amends.

Over the year, they finally figured out the function of the World Soul, but they could only condense one drop per day. When the points reached 1, it could accelerate a plant's growth by one month.

Now they had increased the World Soul points to 2, and as Chen Xun had expected, one drop could accelerate growth by two months.

This delighted them immensely, meaning they could cultivate many precious medicinal herbs.

The Qi Refining Techniques also bore fruit; they had both reached the second level, their senses sharpened, making the world around them much clearer.

Chen Xun also began to feel what was known as magical power within him, but it was useless without skills...

"Alright, let's go, Bull."

Chen Xun smiled, they weren't afraid of doing such deeds, feeling utterly at peace. It was their daily post-meal stroll.

"Moo moo~" Black Bull nuzzled Chen Xun, trying to rub off some of his merit onto itself.

"Hahaha..." Chen Xun embraced Black Bull's head as they walked side by side back to their cave.

On the way, as they passed through a thicket, both Chen Xun and Black Bull's ears twitched, and they instantly split up, diving to the side.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three arrows shot towards them, burying halfway into the ground with such force that, had they not dodged, their bodies would have been pierced through.
