Chapter 536: Only by seeing the grand world can one become an immortal

Li Chen Immortal Palace, in the side hall.

Chen Xun was having tea with Yin Tianshou, while Black Bull was hugging a small tea barrel nearby.

"Finally remembered this old man after all these years?"

"Senior, you're joking. I've heard tales of your exploits over the years, your name resounding like thunder, famed far and wide, your legend enduring through time..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Speak, what brings you here?"

Yin Tianshou stroked his beard, a smile in his eyes, "You young rascal, I doubt you've read many books."

"Moo?" Black Bull was startled, disagreeing with that statement. Eldest brother was quite knowledgeable, it couldn't come up with so many idioms.

Chen Xun chuckled, rubbing his hands together, and quickly took a sip of health tea, appearing as a junior in front of Yin Tianshou.

"Senior Yin, I suspect the Chi family from the Southern Yu Continent is planning to openly harm my sister!"

Yin Tianshou almost lost his composure, nearly spitting out his tea. Was this kid here to report a crime?!

"Go on."

"Senior, our garbage recycling plant has been diligently working for the cultivating environment of Xuanwei Heaven. Have we done anything wrong? Violated any rules?"

"Of course not."

"Is it wrong to be too capable, to have too many spirit stones, that those old thieves covet us in secret, even plotting against my third sister's life?!"

"The rules of the grand world certainly do not allow it."

"Senior, I believe this matter is too egregious. They've even reached from the Southern Yu Continent to the sea, completely disregarding your esteemed reputation!"

"Hmm... there's some truth to that."

"So, I believe we should dispatch inspectors, even report to the Xuanwei Celestial Palace, and send a hundred or eighty Great Ascension Venerables to directly send these lawless beings to the Immortal Prison!"

Chen Xun became more and more agitated as he spoke, holding his health tea cup, suddenly standing up, "Bull, isn't that right? Give a shout for Senior Yin to hear!"

"Moo moo!!!" Black Bull also stood up excitedly, shouting in the side hall, fully agreeing, "Moo~~~~"

"Chen Xun, dispatch how many... how many?" Yin Tianshou's eyes widened slightly, "Great Ascension Venerables?"

"Considering the Immortal Palace's power and authority, to suppress these old thieves and restore order, I believe at least a hundred or eighty Great Ascension Venerables should be dispatched!"

"……"

Yin Tianshou was momentarily rendered speechless by Chen Xun. Anyone unaware might think some evil spirit had invaded Xuanwei Heaven, "Sit down first."

"Alright." Chen Xun sat back down with a cheerful face, hope in his eyes.

"This matter requires careful consideration. If the Immortal Palace wants to apprehend someone, it's not as simple as you think, and it's impossible to abuse power. There are many watching me."

"Yes, yes." Chen Xun nodded quickly.

"There needs to be a reasonable cause, at least some visible commotion."

"I understand, Senior. If it's about apprehending Great Ascension Venerables, it's not easy to convict them, right?"

"Of course... Throughout such long years, no one has dared to use the rules to pressure the Immortal Palace into apprehending someone. Chen Xun, it's impressive you came up with this."

Yin Tianshou suddenly laughed, though the Immortal Palace indeed represents and upholds the rules, it's become somewhat distorted now, "Your idea is feasible."

"If they truly dare to act openly, I can naturally use the rules to suppress them."

"Arrest them!"

"Hehe, arrest." Yin Tianshou laughed, stroking his beard, finding much fondness for Chen Xun and Black Bull, "As long as you don't violate the rules again, I can naturally protect you in this sea."

Hearing this, Chen Xun finally felt completely at ease. All preparations were made today, and anyone with ill intentions would be brought to justice by the great magistrate of the Immortal Prison!

"Thank you, Senior Yin!"

"Moo moo~~"

"No need, it's my duty, no need for formalities."

"Senior... I have something."

"What, have you encountered an immortal treasure you can't identify? I can help you take a look."

Yin Tianshou's laughter paused, seeing Chen Xun's hesitant look, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "Just say it, no need for roundabout ways with me."

Chen Xun and Black Bull exchanged a glance, suddenly taking out a medicine case made from the millennia-old Crane Spirit Tree from the storage ring.

Chen Xun's demeanor became extremely solemn, finally finding a reason to present this item today: "Senior, this is a longevity fruit from the treasured tree of my small boundary, two in total."

"One for you and one for Senior Cui, each can extend life by three thousand years!"

Chen Xun took a deep breath, slowly exhaling a sentence. The Taiwei Purple Immortal Tree had been mutated by him and Bull, but its medicinal effect became even stronger, untouchable without Divine Transformation cultivation.

Initially, the lower limit was at the Golden Elixir phase, then it was the Elemental Infant phase when they arrived at the grand world, and now they've forcibly raised it to the Divine Transformation phase.

Hearing this, Yin Tianshou's eyes showed no greed, but a deep thoughtfulness: "Since it's your boundary's treasure, keep it yourself. Longevity holds little meaning for us."

"Senior, that's not right. Bull and I naturally have more, even keeping branches as mementos. You're overthinking it."

"Hehe, leave it for others, we don't need it for now."

"Senior!"

Chen Xun suddenly shouted, his voice echoing in the side hall.

Yin Tianshou almost slapped Chen Xun. Why was he always so startling? He was a senior outside, after all.

"Speak!"

"If you die, our family's support will be gone, so you must live many more years!"

Chen Xun looked pitiful, almost ready to pull out a suona and play a tune in the side hall, "And with such a big favor, if you don't accept this, how can we repay it?"

"Moo moo~~" Black Bull nodded vigorously, agreeing with his eldest brother.

Yin Tianshou's face twitched, looking a bit displeased. Was this kid cursing him to an early grave?!

He never intended for them to repay any favors. Where in the world is there so much cause and effect to repay? Just a group of small cultivators being superstitious. But clearly, this Chen Xun kid believed in it.

"Hehe, no need, I..."

"Bull, damn it, play the music~~~"

"Moo~~!"

Suddenly, Yin Tianshou's words were cut off, his smile frozen on his face.

At this moment, Chen Xun had already taken out the suona, and Black Bull, covered in bells, was trotting around, jingling.

This scene made Yin Tianshou's scalp tingle. He was a firm believer in feng shui and burial rites! In the grand world, no great cultivator didn't believe in it.

"Alright, I'll accept it, Chen Xun, Black Bull, stop!"

"Alright, Bull, stop!"

Chen Xun cheerfully presented the item, hanging the suona at his waist, "Senior, we're leaving!"

"Moo moo~" Black Bull wagged its tail, feeling a bit unsatisfied, as if it hadn't shaken enough.

One man and one bull quickly fled the Immortal Palace. Although it was a bit too presumptuous, it was good that the senior accepted it. Where there's one, there's two, and there will be more benefits in the future.

Yin Tianshou held the medicine case in his hand, his gaze becoming incredibly profound, piercing through everything, looking at the black and white figures outside the Immortal Palace, suddenly laughing:

"May you go further and higher than I, to witness the grandeur and vastness of the grand world, only then can you truly be immortals!"

"Hehe, the heavens of this vast sea cannot confine you."

He watched Chen Xun and Black Bull, laughing and joking, arm in arm outside the Immortal Palace. Their figures were not only small but also weak, his eyes full of longing and emotion, then slowly turned and left.
