System Bestows me with Immortality, Living on to Eventually Become Invincible-Chapter 51 – Five low-grade spirit stones Ultimate Breath Collection
"Who goes there!" the woman shouted, soaring into the sky on her magical artifact, her sword cleaving through the air and severing the tree trunk with a thunderous roar.
Two clumps of withered leaves suddenly fell before them, obscuring their vision with an eerie abnormality.
"Hmph, a mere eighth level of Qi cultivation and you dare to play tricks!" the Noble Sect woman scolded sharply, her sword pointing at them, "Since you've seen us, you cannot be allowed to leave."
Chen Xun remained calm as still water, not wasting words. His gaze fell on the struggling little bird, a murderous intent flickering in his eyes. His body surged forward with speed, seizing the Silicon Valley bird in his grasp and crushing it, blood splattering his hands.
Their speed was so fast that it left no time for reaction, and the three women were furious that he had killed the Silicon Valley bird right before their eyes!
"How dare you!"
"Seeking death!"
"Where did this wild man come from!"
The three women's eyes turned icy, mana swirling in their hands as they slashed in three different directions.
Chen Xun's eyes were deep, and Black Bull stood in front of him, firmly planted on the ground. With a push of his hoof, rings of firelight rippled out, suddenly transforming into countless fiery hoops.
Boom!
Giant fireballs surged from the hoops, accompanied by violent mana roaring down, instantly igniting a sea of flames that reached the heavens.
As the inferno erupted, their faces twisted in disbelief and horror.
"What... what is this?!"
A sense of life-and-death crisis blossomed in the hearts of the three women, spreading rapidly through their bodies, resonating as a deafening buzz in their minds.
Screams of agony rose from the sea of flames, their eyes filled with extreme terror. Their mana was being eroded, they were being devoured by the flames, unable to muster any resistance.
"Ah!!!" The screams of the three women echoed from the fire, slowly fading into feeble whimpers, until the flames swallowed their last breath.
"Bull, time to work."
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Chen Xun surveyed his surroundings and rose into the air with Sword Flight, "But the quality of their Storage Bags really is subpar."
Their Storage Bags couldn't withstand their mana, always breaking apart in the vastness of space, their contents vanishing with them.
However, above Storage Bags were Storage Rings, which he had seen on the fingers of important figures. But for now, such treasures were beyond their reach.
"Moo." Black Bull nodded, its hooves performing the Water Spirit Technique, dispersing mist into the air, quickly engulfing the sea of flames. Over the years, they had cultivated the technique to the third level without hitting any bottlenecks.
Chen Xun and Black Bull disposed of the bodies and took the Storage Bags of the three Dan Ding Sect disciples, leaving without wasting another moment.
"Bull, don't get cocky. We might be able to handle a few, but can we stand against hundreds of cultivators?"
Chen Xun and Black Bull swiftly navigated through the ancient trees, "Above all, caution is paramount. Never attract attention, never become a target."
"Moo!" Black Bull responded earnestly, indeed feeling a bit inflated, but it listened to Chen Xun the most and quickly suppressed those feelings, continuously self-reflecting.
They stopped atop a towering ancient tree, far from where they had been.
Surrounded by dense foliage, they dove in, blending seamlessly with the environment, their dark eyes constantly scanning for any signs of movement.
"There really is a map."
Chen Xun's eyes brightened as he pulled out identical maps from the Storage Bags, far more detailed than the one from the Five Aggregates Sect.
Black Bull also examined a map, its eyes widening with each detail. Not only were various locations marked, but also the growing sites of spiritual herbs.
"Bull, that should be the Azure Soul Lake," Chen Xun said carefully, the greatest benefit of cultivating immortality being heightened senses, allowing him to see clearly even in the dim light, "So we must be around here."
He circled a spot on the map; they were indeed still on the outskirts. The three main Foundation Establishment spiritual herbs were marked with big red dots, deep within Nandou Mountain.
"Moo~" Black Bull nodded, its mind finally clearing.
"Those disciples from the ten great immortal sects are probably heading to these three spots, and they're surely faster than us."
Chen Xun pondered, his eyes thoughtful, "Let's not rush to the front lines. The competition there will be fierce. We'll start by gathering the auxiliary spiritual herbs."
He pointed to various locations, the route in his mind becoming clearer.
"Moo~ Moo~" Black Bull kept nodding. The area was filled with towering mountains and dense forests; one wrong step could mean a world of difference.
"We'll keep these spirit stones and spiritual herbs, leave one Storage Bag, and destroy the rest of the magical artifacts and spells."
Chen Xun examined the Storage Bags of the three, and despite his covetousness, he knew he couldn't leave any trace behind. These were from the ten great immortal sects.
"Moo." Black Bull agreed, showing no regret as these items were never theirs to begin with.
They had come prepared with an escape plan: Black Bull would swallow a Storage Bag, cover it with World Soul, and later regurgitate it back at Medicine Valley.
"Over four hundred low-grade spirit stones, truly worthy of disciples from the ten great immortal sects."
Chen Xun praised, quickly stowing them in his own Storage Bag, "Bull, we have too few tricks up our sleeves. They even brought scouting spirit beasts. There might be many more like them."
"Moo." Black Bull exhaled deeply, surprised by this revelation as they had never encountered such a thing before.
"Heh, Bull, did you think I'd be unprepared!"
Chen Xun chuckled coldly, slapping his Storage Bag, "Nine Stars Valley, five low-grade spirit stones, 'Concealment Technique'!"
Black Bull felt a shiver of awe, staring at Chen Xun in admiration. Big brother, impressive!
They had also discovered that aside from spells, their aptitude for these minor techniques was incredibly high.
"Dispose of the loot, make a getaway, change locations, let's practice the 'Concealment Technique'."
"Moo!"
The two acted swiftly. Black Bull swallowed a Storage Bag, destroyed the other two with spells, leaving no trace, vanishing into the boundless darkness.
Their actions were fluid as if rehearsed countless times, executing banditry with finesse.
Half a month later, in a hollow of an ancient tree, a man and a bull sat cross-legged, as still as the wood, not even a breath to be heard.
Poisonous insects and snakes crawled on the withered leaves, yet they failed to detect the two living beings, truly blending into Nandou Mountain.
"Bull, let's move."
"Moo~"
The man and bull slowly opened their eyes, their breaths faint. Flames crackled around them, but the dry leaves remained unscathed.
Two clumps of leaves shot out from the hollow, heading straight for a certain direction—their destination, a great river.
Half a day later, they arrived. The man and bull donned another set of 'lucky clothes' and set out on their next venture.
