Chapter 17 The Secret of Longevity: Never Mind Your Own Business
The next day, Chen Xun bowed and said goodbye to Ning Si. They were going back to the blacksmith shop, which was their real home in Panning City.
A few days later, Chen Xun smiled and opened the door. The room was full of dust and choked.
He looked at the empty place and whispered, "Old Sun, we are back."
"Moo~" The big black cow also called twice.
"Old cow, work, clean up."
"Moo!"
One man and one cow started to work, cleaning everywhere. The whole blacksmith shop was brand new and tidy.
The neighbors passing by were shocked. Seeing that the door of the blacksmith shop was actually opened, they shouted, "Is Brother Chen Xun back? I am your Aunt Li."
"Aunt Li, it's me."
A loud roar came from the blacksmith shop, which made Aunt Li very happy. She kicked her feet and told the neighbors everywhere that Brother Chen Xun was back.
Chen Xun has not been seen for more than ten years, but he is back. He is a good blacksmith. Some people's ironware is still in use, and it is made by Chen Xun.
Neighbors flocked to him, some of whom were known to Chen Xun, and some were strangers. They all told him how bad the nearby blacksmith shops were, how high the prices were, and why he had to choose you.
"Hey, brother Chen Xun, why haven't you changed at all? You look a lot younger."
Aunt Li looked Chen Xun up and down, exclaiming in amazement. She was much older than before.
"Haha, I went to learn medicine from a master, and I know the art of health preservation."
Chen Xun explained, looking at Aunt Li, "The most important thing is to have an optimistic attitude, and you will get younger as you grow older."
"Brother Chen Xun, really?"
"Of course, you will know if you get into your old man's bed."
"Hahaha..."
The neighbors laughed, and Aunt Li blushed and spat, "You are not serious." After that, she ran away.
"Okay, everyone, come back tomorrow, so I can prepare."
"Okay, Brother Chen Xun, I wish you a great opening."
"Yes, we will definitely come to support you."
...
The neighbors were very enthusiastic, Chen Xun bowed and smiled, his mentality was completely different from before.
When the blacksmith shop owners in the surrounding streets heard that Chen Xun was back, they all cursed, damn it, lower the price, lower the price for me!
However, Chen Xun's blacksmith shop was only open for half a day every day, and then he stopped accepting orders. He was too busy and just wanted to make a living.
They were tinkering with medicinal herbs in the backyard at this time. This essence of all things can increase the age of medicinal herbs even if they are out of the soil. It is amazing.
"Old Cow, I found a very fundamental problem."
Chen Xun said seriously. He has been thinking about this problem for a long time.
"Moo?" Big Black Cow was puzzled.
"Do we feel that there are some bottlenecks in the second level of Qi Refining? We are always not able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. We need to use time to slowly grind it."
"Moo."
"Do you think that as long as there is enough time, we can continue to improve our cultivation? We can always grind it up?"
"Moo."
"Haha, old cow, you are so naive."
Chen Xun smiled faintly, "This spiritual root is talent. It may be able to be polished up in the Qi Refining stage, but it is not certain in the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Moo?"
"If there is no external assistance, that is, opportunity, we may be stuck in the realm and unable to break through in our lifetime. This is talent, not something that can be polished by time."
"Moo? Moo!"
Big Black Bull exclaimed, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Chen Xun thought of those world-class great men in his previous life. Some things cannot be caught up with by time. No matter how long ordinary people live, they can only increase their knowledge and experience.
But he may never be able to reach the heights of those geniuses. This is talent, and it is also a cruel reality.
The most unfortunate thing is that Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu are just such ordinary people who have longevity. They looked at each other deeply and suddenly hugged each other.
Behind the affectionate embrace, they all had a sly smile on their lips: "So you are also a rookie."
"But we have to be careful, you see we didn't do anything in the mountains, and we didn't offend anyone."
Chen Xun said solemnly that there were many doubts about this matter, "The situation is not right, don't be curious, just stay out of it like we are now."
"Moo!"
Da Hei Niu looked at Chen Xun with admiration. When they were still in the village, the villagers asked Old Man Li about the secret of longevity, and he said that he never meddled in other people's business.
It didn't understand at the time, but now it has experienced it personally. Da Hei Niu was excited, all experience.
"Following your brother Xun, then it must be arranged clearly?"
"Moo!"
Da Hei Niu was completely convinced, Chen Xun was really smart.
"I still say that. Even if there is a thousand-year-old elixir in the Ningyun Mountains, we won't go there. Don't risk your life for an opportunity. Keep your mind steady."
"Moo~~" The big black bull nudged Chen Xun.
Chen Xun smiled slightly, patted its head, and said, "We have the essence of all things, and our strength will be gradually improved. We don't need to seek revenge on anyone, so don't affect our happy life."
The big black bull nodded heavily. It was indeed a little impetuous after practicing "Qi Refining Jue".
"Old bull, don't put the cart before the horse. Even if you have reached the highest realm of cultivation, immortality, and the destruction of the world with a thought, you still have to live."
Chen Xun had long seen that the big black bull was a little impetuous. "The process we go through is the most important, not that shitty realm. At most, you will die if you are unlucky. Who is afraid of who?"
"Moo moo moo moo!!"
The big black bull nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. It understood.
"Perhaps we are disliked by some great power, wiped out with one hand, and die together. Then we can continue to be together in the next life."
Chen Xun said in a bachelor's manner, with this mentality, he would be dead and his eggs would be thrown into the sky, and immortality would be for free anyway.
After hearing this, the big black cow was enlightened and hurriedly ran to Chen Xun. Maybe a powerful man would come next moment, and it would have to die with Chen Xun.
"Hahaha..." Chen Xun laughed and kept pushing the big black cow away, and it kept crowding in again.
…
Half a year later, a shocking loud noise from the Ningyun Mountains broke the tranquility of Panning City. Countless immortal cultivators stood on the sky, which could be seen even in the city, like a UFO.
"Damn it, old cow, come out and watch the trapeze artist."
Chen Xun shouted quickly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds on the table, lifted a bench and came out.
"Moo!" The big black cow jumped out and ate the melon seeds. Its eyes looked toward the sky in the distance. It was really awesome.
There were many people on the street. Neighbors all came out to see the immortal. Some people knelt on the ground and kept praying for blessings.
Chen Xun and Da Heiniu's eyesight is much better than these common people, and they have built-in telescope functions.
"Old Niu, what do you mean, is this a fight?"
Chen Xun sat on the bench, munching melon seeds leisurely, "Why are we all standing together? Why don't we form a formation or something?"
"Moo?" The big black cow didn't understand what was going on and continued to eat melon seeds while lying on the ground.
Above the sky, a rainbow light flashed, and violent explosions resounded across the sky, scaring countless people to the ground, muttering something unknown.
"That's awesome. This must be at least the foundation building stage."
Chen Xun exclaimed, the melon seeds were getting more and more fragrant. "Old Niu, if you say that we can fly in the future, does that mean you are awesome?"
"Moo!" The big black cow was furious. It now understood what this sentence meant, and Chen Xun was teasing it.
It immediately snatched Chen Xun's melon seeds, and Chen Xun quickly opened its mouth and snatched the melon seeds back.
The battle in the distant sky suddenly became fierce. Various spells and rainbow lights continued to shine, and even immortal cultivators fell. It was extremely exciting.
Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu couldn't help but applaud. This was much more comfortable than watching a sideshow.
"Oh my God, each of them looks like a human-shaped weapon."
Chen Xun opened his mouth wide, it was really an eye-opener. "No matter how good a mortal's martial arts is, the magic will come like a laser. Who can withstand this?"
"Moo!" The big black cow also opened his mouth and echoed, which was too outrageous.
Countless people in the city are in awe. This is the power of immortals, the ultimate height that mortals cannot reach.
The immortal war came and went quickly. Various kinds of escaping lights appeared in the sky, which lasted for half a day and then gradually disappeared.
"It's gone so soon. I haven't seen enough yet, hey."
"Moo~~"
Chen Xun and Da Hei Niu are still not satisfied. They can watch it for at least a month, which is much more exciting than the TV series.
"Old Niu, go to work."
"Moo!"
Life has to go on, and this fight has nothing to do with them, but Chen Xun has begun to imagine that if he enters the world of immortality in the future, it will be quite good to watch other people fight every day.
