System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 64 – Chen Xun Uncle-Master
"Senior Brother Chen Xun!"
"Senior Brother Chen Xun!"
Two voices called out from behind, one male and one female. Chen Xun turned around with a smile on his face, "Liu Yuan, Shi Jing."
Shi Jing had jet-black, straight hair and sharp, slanting brows that gave him a dashing appearance. He wore the white robe of an Inner Disciple, looking every bit like a noble young master.
His face lit up with joy. It really was Senior Brother Chen Xun. In the entire sect, only he would be leading a big black bull.
Liu Yuan's smile was charming and graceful. She had grown into a poised young woman, though her demeanor still carried the innocence of a young girl due to her long years in the sect.
"Senior Brother Chen Xun, what brings you to the Alchemy Hall?" Shi Jing asked with a smile. He had always liked Senior Brother Chen Xun; every time he went to inspect the spiritual herbs, Chen Xun's words always felt like a refreshing breeze.
Liu Yuan also stared at Chen Xun in a daze, her clear, bright eyes widening. Senior Brother Chen Xun's aura seemed different now, and his face showed no signs of aging.
"You two are Inner Disciples now; I should be calling you Senior Brother and Senior Sister." Chen Xun chuckled, looking at them.
"No, no." Shi Jing shook his head vigorously, "Senior Brother Chen Xun, are you here at the Alchemy Hall for something important? We can guide you."
Liu Yuan's body trembled as she discreetly probed Chen Xun's cultivation level, but she couldn't sense anything!
She covered her mouth tightly and suddenly jumped in excitement, "Senior Brother Chen Xun, you... you've broken through!"
"Huh?!" Shi Jing was stunned. He hadn't paid attention to Chen Xun's cultivation level and was not as meticulous as Liu Yuan. He hadn't even noticed that Chen Xun still looked so young.
He probed with his own senses and suddenly stood bolt upright as if struck by lightning, staring at Chen Xun in shock.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master!"
"Greetings, Uncle-Master!"
The two of them bowed with joy, feeling genuinely happy for Chen Xun.
"I've broken through and am preparing to register at the Alchemy Hall," Chen Xun said with a calm smile, showing no arrogance. He used a bit of mana to help them stand up.
This scene made him feel nostalgic; he remembered how Master Wei had once lifted him up like this.
"Then we won't disturb you, Uncle-Master!"
"Yes, Uncle-Master Chen Xun, this is wonderful news!"

The two of them were elated, as if Chen Xun's breakthrough was more important than their own. They had no ill intentions in their hearts.
"I have some insights on Qi cultivation to give you. They may not be very valuable, but it's a token of my appreciation."
Chen Xun smiled as he took out two small booklets from his storage bag. These were summaries of his experiences during cultivation. Because he and Black Bull always broke through steadily and slowly, they were able to identify some issues.
In the world of immortals, most people were eager for quick success. If they had pills to assist them, they would swallow them all at once, unlike Chen Xun and Black Bull, who took their time to cultivate and reflect.
"Uncle-Master... we can't accept such a gift without earning it," Liu Yuan said, stepping back in shock, the first to refuse.
"Uncle-Master Chen Xun, this is a privilege usually reserved for personal disciples. We really can't accept it. Please take it back," Shi Jing said, bowing solemnly.
Although they knew Chen Xun wasn't wealthy and didn't have as much talent for cultivating immortality as they did, they didn't look down on his insights.
"Moo~" Black Bull protested instantly. Its insights were included in those booklets, so they had to accept them.
"I didn't think it through. I apologize for making things difficult for you," Chen Xun said, shaking his head with a wry smile as he put the booklets away. The disciples of the Five Aggregates Sect were very strict about rules, unlike the more carefree and casual rogue cultivators.
Moreover, these Inner Disciples had their own masters to guide them. Interfering might cause them some trouble.
"You're too kind, Uncle-Master," they said, visibly relieved when Chen Xun put the booklets away.
"Go on and get busy. Bull and I will take a walk before heading up the mountain. Don't let us delay you."
Chen Xun looked at the distant scenery and smiled, his tone always calm and peaceful.
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
"Yes, Uncle-Master."
They bowed and nodded to Black Bull before leaving.
"Moo~"
"Let's go, Bull. I just found a great spot."
"Moo?"
"Look at that high ground. If we stand there, we can enjoy the view of the plains. Let's go!"
"Moo!"
Their eyes lit up with excitement, and their pace quickened as they headed for the high ground, even forgetting about the registration in favor of enjoying the scenery.
...
On the way, Liu Yuan and Shi Jing walked side by side, heading toward their master's cave abode.
"Senior Brother Shi, what kind of person do you think Uncle-Master Chen Xun is?" Liu Yuan asked casually.
"Uncle-Master Chen Xun..." Shi Jing pondered for a moment before saying, "He's easygoing and generous, that's for sure!"
He nodded emphatically, feeling more convinced the more he thought about it.
"I think Uncle-Master Chen Xun is someone without much ambition. Every time I go to inspect Medicine Valley with my junior sisters, he's always reading."
Liu Yuan's voice was like an oriole emerging from the valley, carrying a sense of ethereal beauty.
Shi Jing was stunned for a second, then shook his head, "When I go with my junior brothers, Uncle-Master Chen Xun is usually catching chickens with Black Bull, saying he's going to make us a good meal..."
"Ah? Haha..." Liu Yuan covered her face and laughed lightly, "Uncle-Master Chen Xun has always been an interesting person, and his personality isn't strange."
"Yeah, that's true."
This novel is available on ".
Shi Jing sighed deeply. The elders and Uncle-Masters in the sect seemed to have lived too long, and many of them had somewhat eccentric personalities. If you crossed them, you'd be in for a tough time.
"What are you two whispering about?" A sloppy woman suddenly appeared behind them without a sound.
They were both startled, standing frozen in place as cold sweat broke out on their backs. They were doomed.
"Hehe, Master, why are you out here? We should have..."
"Save it, Shi Jing. If you don't reach Foundation Establishment within five years, you'll be working in the Five Aggregates Sect's kitchen!"
The sloppy woman grabbed Shi Jing like a chick and started dragging him toward the cave abode, "Liu Yuan, follow me. You're not much better. Are you thinking of finding a marriage alliance?"
"Ah?" Liu Yuan blushed deeply and followed quickly, not daring to say a word.
"Ah! Master, give me some face! There are so many people here!" Shi Jing yelled, his eyes wide with despair. Being dragged around in broad daylight—how could he ever show his face in the Five Aggregates Sect again?
"Hmph, this is the fate of the weak. Face is for the strong."
The sloppy woman even slowed her pace, lifting her lotus-like arms a bit higher, "Reach Foundation Establishment, and I'll let you off the hook for now."
"Ah!!" Shi Jing screamed in agony, losing all his noble demeanor. Seeing the strange looks from people around him, he was determined to break through, to madly break through!!!
The three of them walked slowly, accompanied by Shi Jing's pig-slaughtering screams. It was truly a sight that brought tears to the eyes and sorrow to the heart. Liu Yuan trembled all over, not wanting to be dragged around like that.
...
In the Alchemy Hall, several Foundation Establishment elders surrounded Chen Xun, who kept bowing and smiling, quickly introducing himself.
"Who would have thought that Junior Brother Chen Xun would have such fortune, breaking through with just one Foundation Establishment Pill. Truly a blessing for our Five Aggregates Sect."
"The path of cultivating immortality indeed involves luck. Old Man Jinghuang, are you implying that Junior Brother Chen Xun isn't worthy of breaking through with just one Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Hmph, I never meant that. Junior Brother Chen Xun, don't listen to Ruan Zheng's nonsense. He's gone mad from refining pills..."
"Jinghuang, how dare you slander me in front of a new Junior Brother? Let's settle this on the fighting platform!"
"Bring it on, who's afraid of whom!"
The hall, which had been harmonious, suddenly became tense. Chen Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and he, along with several other elders, quickly pulled them apart, calming them down after much persuasion.
Black Bull was also extremely nervous, shaking its head as it looked at the two of them. How could they be so quick to draw swords over a disagreement?
"Silence." A cold-faced woman suddenly appeared on the high platform of the hall, frowning as she spoke. Her overwhelming aura suppressed everyone in the hall.
