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

"Moo moo!"

Black Bull was still busy massaging shoulders; such delicate tasks were not its forte, so it stuck to the heavy lifting.

"Bull, it's alright, I need a few days to recover my mana."

"Moo!"

Black Bull responded, indicating it wouldn't matter even if it took years.

Three days passed before Chen Xun fully replenished his depleted mana. Today, with his spirit greatly invigorated, he exclaimed:

"The auspicious moment has arrived, I, Chen Xun, shall commence pill refining. May the celestial gods and Buddhas bless me, grant me some face!"

"Moo moo moo moo!"

The pill furnace spiraled towards the heavens, spiritual herbs continued to fly into it, and before long, there was yet another puddle of wasted elixir, cold.

...

Another three days passed, mana restored, Chen Xun sat cross-legged, veins on his arms bulging as he roared:

"The auspicious moment has arrived, I, Chen Xun, shall commence pill refining. May the celestial gods and Buddhas bless me, grant me some face!"

"Moo moo moo moo!"

The pill furnace spiraled towards the heavens, spiritual herbs continued to fly into it, and soon, yet another puddle of wasted elixir, cold.

...

A month later, Chen Xun's fingers trembled slightly, the corners of his mouth quivered as he whispered:

"The auspicious moment has arrived, I, Chen Xun, shall commence pill refining. May the celestial gods and Buddhas bless me, grant me some face..."

"Moo..."

The pill furnace spiraled towards the heavens, spiritual herbs continued to fly into it, and before long, yet another puddle of wasted elixir, utterly cold.

...

Another month passed, Black Bull appeared listless, Chen Xun's eyes were sunken, his hair in disarray, and with a trembling voice, he said:

"The auspicious moment has arrived, I, Chen Xun, shall commence pill refining. May the celestial gods and Buddhas bless me, grant me some face."@@novelbin@@

"Moo~..."

The pill furnace spiraled towards the heavens, spiritual herbs continued to fly into it, but this time, the fragrance of the pills was intoxicating, and Chen Xun finally grasped the essence.

A gleam shone in Black Bull's eyes as it slowly stood up, wanting to utter the words "awesome," but couldn't bring itself to say them.

"Bull, it's a success! I've done it, hahaha..."

Chen Xun laughed maniacally, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour the pill furnace whole, lamenting the loss of so many spiritual herbs, so many spirit stones.

Indeed, in the world of immortals, no one in their right mind would choose to be a pill refiner unless backed by an immortal sect.

"Moo moo~~" Black Bull was extremely excited, looking at the dozen or so pure white Qi-Enhancing Pills, continuously massaging Chen Xun's shoulders.

The fragrance of the pills permeated the entire cave, a truly wondrous scent.

"First, record everything, it's all experience."

Chen Xun nearly got carried away, remembering this was the priority, he began to jot down notes, reviewing them daily, as time was what he had in abundance.

"Bull, try the effects."

"Moo."

They each touched a pill, and it smoothly entered their mouths, silky smooth. Chen Xun and Black Bull felt a surge of spirit, a pure medicinal power spreading within their bodies.

The sensation was like... freely swimming in the ocean, the ultimate pleasure.

"Comfortable..."

Chen Xun couldn't help but utter, as the medicinal power spread, his bottleneck seemed to loosen. Another Heavy Feather Pill was consumed, continuing the refinement process.

Joyful mooing sounds continuously came from Black Bull as it sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Awesome!!"

"Moo!!"

With the third pill consumed, the bottleneck that had been stuck burst open, instantly breaking through to the fifth layer of Qi cultivation! Chen Xun and Black Bull jumped for joy, not wanting to be stuck at any level.

"Let's not refine pills this month, but stabilize our realm."

Chen Xun said excitedly, "Then we'll find a river to bathe in, and next month, we'll start refining again!"

"Moo moo." Black Bull nodded vigorously, the hardest part is always the beginning.

In the days that followed, they lived a simple life, rising with the sun and resting at dusk, cultivating seeds, refining pills, and practicing cultivation.

A year flew by, and the ascension conference began as scheduled, but the notorious Bull Thief was nowhere to be found.

The Liao family was furious, their ambush had failed again, their strength wasted. No one knew what the thief looked like, nor his origins, as if he had vanished from the earth.

Inside the cave, Chen Xun added longevity points to the World Soul.

In the latter half of the year, Chen Xun succeeded in refining three more batches of pills. They consumed the Qi-Enhancing Pills while solidifying their realms, neither arrogant nor rash, for time was the least valuable thing to Chen Xun and Black Bull.

Taking steady steps was the most important thing, and now they had broken through to the sixth layer of Qi cultivation, a terrifying feat!

"Although these spiritual herbs have extremely harsh growing conditions, our World Soul seems to overcome it all."

Chen Xun and Black Bull opened another hole in the cave, planting it full of spiritual herbs, decades' worth.

He had read in the "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs" that these herbs needed to grow in spiritual soil, not just any ordinary soil.

"Moo~"

Black Bull looked at their kingdom, overjoyed, the spiritual qi was intoxicating, and they were now cultivating right here.

"It's just this pill furnace, it's not very durable."

Chen Xun frowned, feeling that the furnace wasn't quite right, "Looks like it's time for an upgrade."

Black Bull nodded, not understanding much about pill refining, but feeling that the furnace's exterior had deteriorated.

The second year, although Chen Xun didn't refine pills, he was still incredibly busy, constantly studying the "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs," reciting and researching daily.

Black Bull managed the spiritual herbs, harvesting them when they matured and storing them in medicine cases.

Life was peaceful, without too many troubles knocking on their door.

Another year passed, and the ascension conference brought many new faces, ambitious and full of confidence, aiming to ascend to immortality.

Some familiar faces shook their heads in regret, once mocking the Bull Thief, and now they themselves were in the same position, with opportunities right before their eyes, feeling inevitably discontent.

They looked down on the mortal realm, preferring to die in Nine Stars Valley rather than return in defeat. Countless bones were buried deep in the Cloud Mountains.

Those selling booklets were overjoyed, with more and more competitors, fresh blood was needed.

What most people didn't know was that there were many such ascension conferences, and the ten great immortal sects wouldn't just convene in one place.

The Liao family also gave up, continuing their business in Nine Stars Valley, a minor matter, not worth the ridicule of being petty.

They figured the thief had probably been devoured by a demonic beast, leaving no trace, that's what they thought.

...

Inside the cave, after adding longevity points to the World Soul, Chen Xun began to focus and calm his spirit, preparing to start refining pills.

Black Bull was ready with the spiritual herbs, acting as a cheerleader, massaging and rubbing Chen Xun's back.

"Now that my mana has greatly increased, I wish to commence pill refining. May the celestial gods and Buddhas bless me, grant me some face!"

Chen Xun's gaze sharpened, his robe fluttered without wind, his hair spread out from his back, the sense of ceremony was at its peak.

"Moo~~" Black Bull let out a long bellow.

Chen Xun's technique was proficient, rapidly placing the spiritual herbs into the furnace, everything went smoothly.

What used to take three days to recover from a single batch of pills now only took two.

Time flew by, and after half a year, a loud explosion suddenly echoed from the cave, the pill furnace had exploded...

Chen Xun's face was covered in soot, looking dumbfounded, thick black smoke pouring from his mouth, his hair now resembling a Mediterranean hairstyle, the middle part completely blown away.

"Moo!!"

Black Bull's eyes were filled with panic, thick breaths escaping as it hurriedly checked on Chen Xun, thankfully he was unharmed.

In an instant, its legs gave way, its large eyes formed crescents, it stepped back gingerly, its belly convulsing, trying to suppress the snorts of laughter.

"It actually exploded the furnace."

Chen Xun frowned slightly, still unaware of the severity of the problem, "It seems that even magical artifacts wear out."

"Why does the top of my head feel so breezy?"

Chen Xun had a bad feeling, touching his head once, then again, his features gradually contorting, "Where's my hair?!"

Roars like those of a lion king echoed through the cave, causing small stones to fall.

"Gaga..."

Black Bull was on the verge of collapse, emitting strange noises, having never seen Chen Xun in such a state.

Chen Xun silently put on a bandit's headscarf, his bloodshot eyes turning to Black Bull: "Bull, you're dead!"

"Moo~~!!!"

A terrifying scream echoed through the cave, like the sound of slaughtering a cow during the New Year.
