This is common knowledge among Foundation Establishment cultivators, and seniors would usually inform them about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Kun frowned slightly, giving a deep look at the bewildered Chen Xun and the big black ox, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes, quickly concealed by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun looked at their expressions and nonchalantly explained with a smile, \"I have limited interactions with people, and the old ox doesn't bother others much either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo~\" The big black ox also snorted, indicating that they usually go out on their own without disturbing others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chen, no need to worry. Take out the map and spread it out,\" Shi Jing said with a smile, as if sensing something. He quickly changed the subject, \"I'll tell you where it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chen, the big black ox, you...\" Liu Yuan was about to speak, but a divine sense of pressure descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuxu City is located to the west of Qian Nation, near the blank space at Tian Duan Great Plain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one sentence, Shi Jing interrupted Liu Yuan, pointing to a location on the map, \"Here it is, a large city formed by cultivators from all over.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for explaining, Senior Brother Shi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun thanked with a hand gesture, his eyes showing realization, focusing on the map, \"Old Ox, take a look, the city of cultivators, it turns out to be here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo, moo~\" The big black ox looked with excitement, as if trying to remember the scent, as if it could guide them to the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chen, the big black ox, come with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sincerely, Shi Jing suggested, looking at the curious duo, \"With Master accompanying, there should be no danger on the way, and several senior brothers and sisters will be there too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to introduce some of the sect's people to Chen Xun, who seemed genuinely likeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Shi, the auction must require a lot of spirit stones. We don't have many, so we won't join in the fun for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are not good at fighting in the Sky-Jewel War either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun smiled and said, patting the big black ox, \"If it's not too much trouble, just bring back a list of auction items for us. We want to broaden our horizons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo, moo~\" The big black ox also exclaimed excitedly, anticipating many treasures they hadn't seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! I will definitely bring it back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before Shi Jing could respond, Liu Yuan quickly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemingly insignificant matter seemed to be quite important for Junior Brother Chen and the big black ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Jing, with a slightly furrowed brow, and Liu Yuan left. They seemed less joyful than before, as if something had dampened their spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the cliff, only Chen Xun, the big black ox, and Ji Kun remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Chen, Senior Brother Ox, do you need anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Kun's face was solemn as he stood behind them and spoke, \"If you need anything, I can help.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Ji is too polite. We just want to broaden our horizons.\" Chen Xun turned around and smiled. \"Go ahead; we'll stay a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo, moo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big black ox, with crescent-shaped eyes, also called out, indicating that they just wanted to see what they might find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need; I'll accompany you for a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Kun said calmly, looking towards the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dark night, it seemed that there were only dim lights in the residences of disciples scattered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moonlight tonight was not even, but the light and shadows had a harmonious melody. Only the mountain wind wandered in loneliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun's expression was calm, gazing into the distance with his hands behind his back, a difficult-to-describe momentum flashing and disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Kun watched that figure, a glint of light flickering in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Chen Xun and the big black ox were sitting together, their shoulders touching as they laughed heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like the moment just now was a hallucination. Ji Kun silently accompanied them from behind, saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an hour, Ji Kun quietly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, the outer sect administration hall was also going to hold a meeting. In the cultivation world, it seemed like everyone was quite busy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the edge of the cliff, the night wind was still blowing. Only Chen Xun and the big black ox remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked sincerely at the sparkling stars in the vast sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Ox, I made many wishes. Today, I'll tell you a few,\" Chen Xun said calmly, his eyes devoid of focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big black ox exclaimed. It only made one wish, \"Moo, moo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first one is, of course, that we stay together forever, never parting in life and death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun held the big black ox with one hand, his eyes showing a touch of tenderness. \"The second one is, I hope our friends are doing well, even in the next life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo, moo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big black ox nodded, a bit bewildered. Its eyes showed a hint of urgency, wondering why Chen Xun didn't tell it that it could make more wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The third one is that we stay happy forever. Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xun suddenly burst into laughter, and then his expression became serious. \"Old Village Chief, Old Sun, Ning Shi, Brother Le Feng, and our neighbors, they all just appeared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starfalling like rain is not a bad omen; it's their spiritual presence coming to see us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The big black ox exclaimed excitedly. Chen Xun never lied about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, they had just gone to another place and not disappeared. Their merit was definitely useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Ox, haven't you understood such a phenomenon that occurs once every ten thousand years?\" Chen Xun laughed widely, looking at the big black ox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo, moo~\" The big black ox called joyously, sitting beside Chen Xun, mumbling continuously in its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sat on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the starry sky, softly whispering as if endless conversations were taking place. They didn't leave for the entire night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, the eastern sky was adorned with a magnificent morning glow, and a light mist lingered in the air like a thin veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Ox, it's a new day again; let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running down together, feeling the refreshing morning breeze, their spirits were invigorated, and their eyes held an indescribable excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when they reached the large array in the medicinal herb garden, they were stopped by a middle-aged man of medium build, square-faced, with a somewhat haggard appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Younger brother, please wait. Can we have a talk?\" The middle-aged man focused his gaze on Chen Xun, his voice full of vitality. Surprisingly, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, making it hard to guess his age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs, indicating that he was also involved in cultivating spiritual herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief thought, Chen Xun nodded slightly, smiling, \"Senior Brother... feel free to speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man nodded expressionlessly, and a surge of spiritual energy appeared. The prohibition in the medicinal herb garden opened a path, proving Chen Xun's identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Xun shook his head slightly, calmly stating, \"Senior Brother, let's talk here. I'm not too fond of going to other people's places.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, as Junior Brother wishes,\" The middle-aged man spoke calmly, but his eyes held a trace of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two conversed outside the medicinal herb garden, and Chen Xun, after a slight contemplation, smiled, realizing the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-10T05:20:00.357Z",1,"novelbin.me","0f9958a5016acf007353d30693387a2801e7ea3c55bc4f7698f57c5514e6a34f","eternal-tale-chapter-483","eternal-tale-chapter-84",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-tale-cover.jpg"]
