Become Eternals

Legend of the Weasel

The comfortable life of an Outer Sect disciple on Fragrant Cloud Peak was great for Bai Xiaochun. Although he missed the delicious food he had behind the Oven, things were quite satisfying.

In terms of his progress in cultivation, and his research on plants and herbs, he truly felt as if he was living life to the fullest. The only downside was that his courtyard residence was relatively far away, and there was no one around to chat with, so he was sometimes bored.

“Could all cultivators be so lonely?” he thought, sighing as he stood there in the courtyard while looking up at the sky. Somehow, he felt much older and more mature.

Autumn winds had passed, and snow began to fall occasionally, causing the temperature to drop drastically. Snowflakes floated in the air, and the Winter Bamboo in Bai Xiaochun's courtyard grew strong and healthy. They were now taller than Bai Xiaochun himself, and were emerald green in color. They were like spring splashes in the middle of a cold winter.

A month had passed since he took the first position in the first stone inscription containing plants and herbs. However, the volume of the second plant and vegetation was much more difficult than he had anticipated, causing his research to be slow. But that did not change the most important thing to him, namely that Zhou Xinqi had never reclaimed the first place on the first stone inscription. Unfortunately, Bai Xiaochun still felt a lot of pressure to be able to gather all the incomplete medicinal herbs that he had not been able to do before.

“I have an amazing reputation now. I can't let that Zhou Xinqi girl surpass me. ” Since then, Bai Xiaochun decided that he would continue to work harder and harder until he reached his secret goal of being able to proudly announce in front of everyone that he was the Apothecary Turtle.

Although his progress with the second volume of plants and vegetation was slow, the cultivation of the Eternal Life Technique was rapidly approaching the point where he would be able to achieve full minor circulation.

Although the pain was getting worse, Bai Xiaochun remained fully focused on the words ‘abadi’ and ‘live forever’.

“Three days left. According to the description of the Eternal Life Technique, in three days I will be able to complete a small circulation. ” Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and continued to circle his courtyard, simultaneously studying the plants and plants of the second volume.

Three days passed quickly. On the night of the third day, snow began to fall, covering the Spirit Flow Sect in a glittering silver blanket.

Bai Xiaochun was running when a tremor passed him, and he suddenly stopped in place. The pain that he had experienced for the past eighty-one days suddenly disappeared.

A stream of heat burst through him, gathering on his skin, which felt like it was being baked in an oven.

The snowflakes melted even before they could get close to him, instantly turning into a white mist.

It worked! he was happy, even though his throat was dry. Although he felt like he was burning, when he looked down, he saw a black light flowing on his skin, which circulated around him and then disappeared.

He then stabbed his arm with his right hand, and knew how powerful it was. His eyes shone, and slightly shook his arms and legs. Instantly, he knew that he was much faster than before. He started running forward, then let out a startled cry as he appeared several meters away in the blink of an eye.

He could now move twice as fast as before. Overjoyed, Bai Xiaochun ran a little to test his new speed, and was very satisfied.

Without further hesitation, he used the mnemonic Eternal Life Technique to continue practicing cultivation. The new method involves covering her mouth and nose and then trying to breathe through her skin. Inhalation and exhalation are counted as small cycles. He needed to practice eighty-one small cycles per day for eighty-one days to complete the small circulation.

If he could achieve that, then, combined with the painful little circulation he had completed, he would make his initial success in acquiring the Eternal Skin.

After practicing a few times, Bai Xiaochun gained his skills and struggled to get through one small cycle. After that, his body seemed much more tapered.

He also felt extremely hungry, and a gurgling sound could be heard from his stomach. He ignored that, and continued breathing, causing his body to become thinner. After inhaling and exhaling fifteen times, his body was nothing more than a bag of bones.

It was as if all the nutrients that were inside him had been sucked out of it. However, his skin looked more supple than before.

Bai Xiaochun could not hold on any longer. His vision faded, and his eyes turned green due to the indescribable hunger that filled him. He was so hungry that he could eat an elephant in one bite.

“It didn't work, I starved to death !!” He looked around, salivating, only to realize that there was nothing in the area to eat except the green bamboo he had planted, which currently looked quite attractive.

Unable to hold back due to his overwhelming hunger, he flashed to Spiritwinter Bamboo and bit one of them.

A crackling sound could be heard as he tore through the large piece and began to chew on it. After swallowing, his face wrinkled, and he shivered from the bitter taste.

Racing down the mountain path at high speed, he would occasionally meet other Outer Sect disciples. To them, it felt like the wind was blowing past their bodies, and they were shocked to stare at Bai Xiaochun who was running into the distance.

He dashed down the mountain, into the servant district and headed straight for the Oven. Not wanting to waste time opening the door, he flew past the main gate.

Ovens crew is cooking. Now that Big Fatty Zhang and Third Fatty Hei had left, Second Fatty Huang had become its leader. He was currently scooping the rice porridge into the bowl, when suddenly the wind blew on his face, and the bowl was gone, to be replaced by Bai Xiaochun's gaping mouth.

“Hah?” The Second Fatty Huang was startled, and stood there gaping for a moment. Before anyone could say anything, Bai Xiaochun grabbed one of the pans nearby and started throwing them away. Apparently that was not enough, as he then buried his head in a frying pan, drying the rice porridge….

One skillet, two pans, three pans…. Bai Xiaochun quickly drank a hundred porridge pans. He was like an abyss, and still did not feel nearly full.

“Still hungry! This didn't work! I'm so hungry, I need meat! ” He looked around in panic and quickly saw the mountains of meat that were his brothers.

The fatties from the Oven looked at Bai Xiaochun in shock. They had seen hungry people before, but had never seen one so hungry. It was like the ghost of a person who died of starvation.

Then they realized that he was staring at them and salivating. The two Fatty Huang suddenly retreated quickly, simultaneously shouting, “Ninth Fatty, quickly, there are some spirit foods in the kitchen that we prepared for Elder Zhou!”

Bai Xiaochun's eyes shone, and he immediately stormed into the kitchen.

Outside, Second Fatty Huang and the others looked at each other anxiously.

“Did you see that? That was the fate of the people who became disciples of the Outer Sect. Look how hungry Junior Brother is…. ”

“You can beat me to death before I agree to become an Outer Sect disciple!” The other Fatties were all fully determined to hold fast to their decision, even though they felt sorry for Bai Xiaochun.

Right now, Bai Xiaochun was doing his best to control himself and obey the six lines of truth from the Oven. He will only bite the edges, and not eat the whole. After all, if he broke the rules, it could involve his older brothers, something he would never do.

After drinking the porridge and biting the edge of the spirit food, Bai Xiaochun's hunger had lessened a bit. He could deal with it now, so he came out of the kitchen, wanting to cry but unable to find any tears. This Eternal Life Technique was simply too terrifying. Although he did not have to face any pain now, the hunger was enough to drive someone crazy.

“Second Brother...” said, staring nervously at Second Fatty Huang.

Seeing that Bai Xiaochun looked normal again, Second Fat Huang finally felt relieved. He walked over and patted her on the shoulder in sympathy.

“Small Sister, don't worry. Thankfully, we have already prepared some food for Elder Zhou. Look how hungry you are! Ai. From now on, you come back more often to fill up, okay? ”

Bai Xiaochun was very touched. However, he gritted his teeth and decided that he would do the opposite. After all, one day if he ever reached the point where he lost control, he would probably exhaust the entire Oven….

Both Fatty Huang and the others escorted him out, and Bai Xiaochun sighed continuously as he walked back to Fragrant Cloud Peak. Suddenly, the carefree and pleasant feeling from before disappeared, replaced by despair. He was really afraid of starving to death.

“I wonder if there really were some Spirit Stream Sect disciples who died of starvation in the past. I definitely don't want to be the first. ” Scowling sadly, he was trying to figure out a way to solve the food and hunger problem when suddenly he heard a rooster crowing in the distance.

The voice caused him to stop in place and slowly turn his head to stare towards the crow.

“Ayam...” Looking around to make sure no one was watching him, he ducked into a nearby bush, disappearing with a whoosh sound. Then he started sneaking around like a ferret.

A moment later, he appeared outside the fence surrounding Fragrant Cloud Peak spirit fowl farm. Inside was a group of pacing chickens haughtily, as big as a calf, with a three-colored tail. Bai Xiaochun looked at them with glittering eyes, and began to salivate.

“Daging...” murmured, then began to chuckle, a strange sound that, if coupled with his wide smile, was truly frightening.
