I Must Become Eternal

Chapter 6: Zhang Du

"Filipino... Finally I have finished breaking through, and this time I managed to break through to the fourth layer because of this tree...!" muttered.

'I feel that all my senses are getting sharper... Even I can sense the existence of a person within a distance of 4 miles!' muttered. There was happiness on Xian Ji's face and even a sweet smile.

"Now, I need an explanation from you, cultivation tree!" xian Ji said in a high tone.

At the moment he asked while looking towards the tree, the tree did not respond. Xian Ji then thought of something unreasonable, which was to change his name to Buxiu Shu (Eternal Tree).

"Well... Buxii... You're listening to me, aren't you?" xian Ji said in a low tone.

'Buxiu...? How could.' thought the Tree.

Xian Ji then touched the tree and said, "Explain to me, why are you helping me? Xiu Shu?" with cold.

"...It's because of you, just like my master" Bixiu said.

Xian Ji who heard that was immediately shocked. He then asked, "I look like your master? Who is he?" while pointing at himself.

"...My master is a very powerful person, he used to be known as the "Sword Emperor", because he could split the sky and the ocean with just 1 move. He was also referred to as the "God Of Lower-realm", it was because his strength surpassed all cultivators who were in the lower realms and also he was extremely domineering, maybe even the newly ascended immortal could not fight him..." answer Bixiu.

"...Then what's your master's name? And is he dead?" xian Ji asked while contemplating.

"...Perhaps his name was Yang Ji, and it was possible that he had already gone upstairs and become immortal.." he replied as if he was thinking.

'Maybe... Yea?' xian Ji Thought.

Xian Ji then sighed, he then walked away from the tree while contemplating himself. When he heard the story he felt a little sad to hear it.

Time passed, day had become night, it was seen Xian Ji was currently cultivating in his room. And this time he tried to increase the strength of the Flame Serpent. He thought if he increased the strength of his Flame Serpent, he would be able to fight against the person oppressing him.

"My current Flame Serpent may still be at Stage 1, as my realm has increased, then I should be able to make this Flame Serpent into Stage 2" he murmured.

Xian Ji then sat down and took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. After that try to empty his mind and cultivate. He felt that the flow of his spiritual energy was unstable, he was shocked and thought that it was from the Everlasting Tree. But there were no wrinkles there was malice on Xian Ji's face, he instead smiled and continued cultivating. It was because the Everlasting Tree had helped him to reach the fourth Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Time passed, and the morning had arrived, finally the flow of spiritual energy within his body had stabilized. Xian Ji then sighed and opened his eyes.

"My spiritual energy flow finally stabilized, and... I didn't expect that the day had changed" he murmured while looking at the window.

Xian Ji then stood up and held her waist. He then narrowed his eyes.

"Isn't this the beginning of November? I heard that tomorrow there will be a pill division at the center" Xian Ji muttered.

Xian Ji then walked out of his place, like usual days, he breathed in fresh air. After Xian Ji became the head of the outer delivery disciples, there were rarely any fights. Even the outer delivery disciples this time were more focused on cultivating than starting a fight.

When Xian Ji came out, he was greeted by some outer delivery disciples, but there were some who did not greet him. Even so, Xian Ji still smiled and greeted the other delivery disciples, he went to visit Zhang Du.

Arriving at Zhang Du's place, Xian Ji knocked at the entrance of his place. Zhang Du who heard it then opened the door, inside it was very clean. It was cleaner than Xian Ji's. He who saw it then was shocked and did not expect that Zhang Du was a diligent person. Xian Ji then smiled faintly.

"Wait a minute, chief. I'll make you tea" he said with a smile.

"Hm... Alright" Xian Ji said.

Zhang Du then went to the kitchen to make tea.

***

Xian Ji casually took the tea and drank it. Zhang Du who saw Xian Ji sipping his homemade tea casually was then startled, it was because Xian Ji did not ask like "Is there poison in this tea?" or "There's no poison in this tea?".

The glup!... The glup!... The glup!...

"Phews! Your tea tastes so good, how can you make tea like this, Zhang?" he said with a smile.

"Emmm... When I was a kid, I was taught by my grandfather to make a sweet and delicious tea to drink." she said, embarrassed.

"Ooh! Your grandfather must have been a god!" he said with a high tone.

Zhang Du felt very embarrassed to hear that. Xian Ji then continued to drink the tea until it ran out, as well as Zhang Du.

"So... What brings you here, chief?" ask Zhang Du.

"...Won't there be a pill division at the center tomorrow?" he answered coldly.

"That-That's right.." Zhang Du was nervous.

"Therefore, whoever has been in the third and fourth layers and soon breaks through, then they should be able to set aside 1 Pill to share with the others who are at the first or second level, what do you think?" ask Xian Ji.

"We can't make decisions like this right away, we have to talk to others, to decide about this" he replied while taking things seriously.

"Alright, then let's meet the others and talk about this" Xian Ji said.

"Yes" said.

They both went and visited the others. They walk around, and enjoy it.

Time passed, Xian Ji and Zhang Du finally reached the place where the others gathered. The outer delivery disciples who saw that Xian Ji and Zhang Du were walking together were then startled, because they did not expect that the Zhang Du they thought could walk together with Xian Ji who had just become the chairman.

"Chairman..?" they feel nervous.

"Hm? Is something wrong?" ask Xian Ji.

"Ti-No." they answered with fear.

"Then... I'll get to the point, there's something I want to talk to you all about" he said coldly.

Xian Ji then talked about the important things he wanted to convey. Such as pill division, task setting, and so on. They listened well, you could say it was really good. Some complained, Xian Ji then replied, if anyone disagrees about the matter of distributing pills, Xian Ji will ask the reason why she disagrees with it.

'Xian-no, the chairman that I saw this time, he really has virtue and wisdom within him' Zhang Du thought with a smile.

'I wish we could be like this... Until we watch the Chairman go up.' Zhang Du thought.

Introduction: Zhang Du, is the strongest outer delivery disciple among the others. His run had reached the peak of the fourth layer of Qi Condensation, just a little more for him to be able to be promoted into a inner delivery disciple. He wore a blue shirt and had a slash-like wound on his face.
