The Desire to Be Eternal

Chapter 24: Who Are You?

Bai Xiaochun sat in his courtyard at Fragrant Cloud Peak, looking at the jade pendant he had in his hand. After activating it with spiritual energy, the pendant began to glow with a gentle green light that surrounded his body.

Next, he performed a spell motion with his left hand, causing his wooden sword to appear. It spun in the air and then shot back at Bai Xiaochun. However, once it hit the green light, it was as if it had suddenly hit a patch of water, causing it to slow down significantly.

"What an incredible treasure!" he muttered, putting away the wooden sword and grasping the jade pendant in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

“Ah well, that's no problem. Li Qinghou is Mr. Zhou Xinqi, but he is also my mentor. In fact, given our relationship, I should probably call him uncle. ” Clear his throat, Bai Xiaochun put away the jade pendant, then stood up and stretched his body lazily.

After eating more than half of Li Qinghou's chicken, his Immortal Life Technique made rapid progress. Now more than seventy percent complete. Of course, the spirit chicken tail replenished his vital energy, not his spiritual energy. However, even though his cultivation base was still at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, it had made some progress, and was smoother than before.

He buried all the chicken bones in the spirit land, which was now filled with so much spiritual energy bordering on ridiculous. As for his winter bamboo, it was now over two meters tall, and was no longer pure emerald green; dark dots had already started to appear inside the green.

The most important of all was the spirit tail, which could produce a three-colored flame. Bai Xiaochun had gathered them, and now had several hundred. Every time he thought of the three-colored flames that a spirit could produce, his heart was filled with anticipation.

“I'm not in a hurry with my cultivation base. As long as I can obtain enough medicinal pills, I can do three times the spirit enhancement on them and advance at flying speed. The most important thing to do was to make some progress with my Death Skin! ” Almost as soon as the thought entered his mind, Bai Xiaochun's stomach began to grumble. At first he looked towards Fragrant Cloud Peak's chicken farm, but then he turned towards Violet Cauldron Peak.

"The Eldest Brother is at the Peak of the Violet Cauldron, I wonder how he has been doing lately." Thinking about all the things that had happened in the Oven, he dashed out of his courtyard, down the mountain, and towards the Violet Cauldron Peak.

Of the three mountains on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect, Green Crest Peak focused on the sword, Fragrant Cloud Peak concentrated on spirit medicine, and Violet Cauldron Peak excelled in magical techniques and spirit enhancement. Moreover, the most fundamental technique on the southern edge, the Violet Qi Cauldron Control Art, actually came from the Violet Cauldron Peak.

Bai Xiaochun walked along the road towards Violet Cauldron Peak, and by the time he arrived there, the night had already arrived. He stared at the mountain, which was covered in clouds and fog. Far high in the air, he could barely see a small shadow hovering in prismatic light. He sighed.

"I wonder when I can get some sort of flying treasure, and then do something like that. Then my world will be completely open, and I will truly be on the road to living forever. " Eyes sparkled with anticipation, he began to ascend to the Peak of the Violet Cauldron.

Although he was not a Peak Violet Cauldron disciple, as an Outer Sect disciple, he was qualified to go to one of the various mountains. As he walked, he asked some people about where Zhang Dahai lived. Thanks to her charming demeanor, she immediately got an answer, and quickly rushed in the direction indicated.

Big Fatty Zhang's residence was located in a different part of the mountain compared to Bai Xiaochun's location on Fragrant Cloud Peak. It was on the sunny side of the mountain, where there was an even stronger spiritual energy. There were not many residences here; they were sprinkled like stars in the night sky, seemingly in some determined pattern.

Although it was already night, and the light was not very clear, it was still possible to see the swirling mist and abundant spirit plants, all of which gave the place a heavenly feeling.

Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaochun looked around enviously. “The Eldest Brother really has connections in the sect. I can't believe he got a place like this. It's so much better than mine. "

It only took a bit of searching to find Big Fatty Zhang's residence. The courtyard was filled with weeds, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time. Bai Xiaochun gaped in shock, then knocked on the main gate. However, there is no answer.

"Am I in the wrong place?" he thinks. Even as he stood there, startled, the front door of the building inside the courtyard slowly creaked open, and a skinny figure appeared, holding a flying sword in his right hand. A faint silver light flickered on his left hand as he trudged along. Seemed exhausted, then lethargicly said, "Who is that ?!"

Even when those words came out of the man's mouth, he suddenly saw Bai Xiaochun standing there across the courtyard, and a tremor engulfed him. An expression of excitement appeared on his face, almost as if he had just seen a blood relative. Suddenly, he flew forward, pushed the main gate open, and then stood there staring at Bai Xiaochun. Then he laughed out loud and said, "Ninth Junior Brother!"

"Who are you?!" Bai Xiaochun responded, retreating, his eyes widening. Although this person seemed familiar for some reason, Bai Xiaochun could not identify him at all.

He has average features, and is very thin. Although he could not be described as just skin and bone, he had almost gotten to that point. His eyes shone intensely, yet still drowned. From the ripples of his cultivation base, he seemed to be in the great circle of the fourth level of Qi Condensation.

When the skinny young man saw Bai Xiaochun's expression, he looked like he was about to start crying.

"Frank Ninth, it's me, Big Fat!" she said. Faces filled with deep sadness, he continued by saying, "Ninth Fatty, you have no idea how much I have suffered over the past year. My master is very demanding! As soon as I got here, he told me that he didn't like fat, and I had to starve for half a year!

“Half Year, Ninth Fat! Do you know what I look like after half a year? It took me forever just to gain this much weight. ” This skinny man was none other than Big Fatty Zhang, who was now standing there crying.

Bai Xiaochun looked at him carefully. After hearing his story, and making sure that he was really his elder brother, Bai Xiaochun's jaw dropped. The Eldest Brother whom he remembered, and this person standing in front of him, looked like two completely different people.

"Is there a grudge between you and your Master?" Bai Xiaochun asked sympathetically.

As Bai Xiaochun listened to the bitter story, he suddenly realized that his decision to start stealing chickens was definitely the right thing to do. He looked at Big Fatty Zhang's thin body, then sighed and patted his skinny shoulder.

"Since you are in trouble, Elder Brother, then Junior Brother will naturally help. Just wait here for the time it takes to burn the incense. I'll be right back." Big Fatty Zhang gaped in shock as Bai Xiaochun turned around and left the courtyard.

On his way up the mountain, Bai Xiaochun had recorded where the Violet Cauldron Peak spirit tail chicken farm was located. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he suddenly disappeared.

Big Fatty Zhang had no idea what was going on, nor any clues that Bai Xiaochun might have made. He waited there at his front gate for the time it took to burn the incense, after which Bai Xiaochun returned, carrying the spirit-tailed chicken in each of his hands.

When Big Fatty Zhang saw the spirit-tailed chicken, his eyes widened. Before he could say anything, Bai Xiaochun pushed him into the courtyard. Ignoring the Big Fatty Zhang, Bai Xiaochun expertly produced a frying pan, boiled water, plucked chicken and tossed it. With that, he cleaned his sleeves, raised his chin, and looked at Big Fatty Zhang.

Big Fatty Zhang was panting heavily, and his eyes were wide. He pointed at the chicken in the pan, and then returned to Bai Xiaochun, and an expression of disbelief crept on his face.

"-You ... don't tell me that you're the Chicken Thief of the Fragrant Cloud Peak!?!?"

Bai Xiaochun chuckled. Then, as if he was very familiar with the process, put his hand on the pan and sent out spiritual energy to ensure that the chicken meat was very tender. Immediately, a fragrant aroma wafted. Bai Xiaochun reached out, pulled the chicken leg, and then handed it to Big Fatty Zhang.

"Eat!" he said, mimicking the way Big Fatty Zhang returned the magic mushroom when he first joined the Oven.

Big Fatty Zhang swallowed a few times as he stared at the chicken feet. Finally, he took it and took it. From then on, Bai Xiaochun did not need to say anything. Big Fatty Zhang flew into the frying pan and almost dipped his face inside. The two chickens were quickly consumed all the way to the bone, except that he could not stop there; crackling sounds could be heard as he dropped them as well.

Finally, he punched her in the stomach, and lay down, looking almost drunk with satisfaction. Then he and Bai Xiaochun exchanged glances and started laughing.

"Ninth Fatty, you're amazing" he said, looking very proud. "You really paid attention back at the Oven. I would never have imagined that the famous Chicken Thief Fiend from Fragrant Cloud Peak would turn into my brother. ”

“Cultivating by default is a heaven-defying thing. As a cultivator, it is natural to compete with the heavens, and fight with humans.You must rely on yourself! What are some spirit-tailed chickens for? ” Bai Xiaochun waved his hand, but could not hide how happy he was with himself. He had kept his identity a long time ago; being able to share it, and then seeing the look on Big Fatty Zhang's face, made him feel extraordinary.

“Pity is actually that I've eaten so many spirit-tailed chickens at Fragrant Cloud Peak that only the chicks are left. They don't taste good, otherwise I'll invite you to stay with me there, and we can eat full every day. ” Bai Xiaochun sighed.

When Big Fatty Zhang heard that, his eyes shone, and he immediately crawled to his feet.

“Violet Cauldron Peak also has it. The faces of the mountains, west, south, and north were all. They were guarded by two shifts a day, each shift guarded by seven disciples! " Great Zhang Fatty went on to explain further. When he finished, he found Bai Xiaochun staring at him with a strange expression. Big Fatty Zhang cleared his throat and said, “After I heard about Chicken Thief, I decided to try doing the same with him. Unfortunately, the chickens were too difficult to steal. As soon as you get closer, they start making noise. Not only did I not even come close to stealing a chicken, I almost got caught. ” Fatty Big Zhang looked a bit embarrassed by all of this.

Bai Xiaochun laughed, then drew closer to Big Fatty Zhang and started whispering something. Slowly, Big Fatty Zhang's eyes began to shine brighter and brighter, and he even gasped for breath. Then Bai Xiaochun took out a bamboo cicada, and after a while a wide smile covered their faces and they started laughing.

Immediately, laughter sounded from within the courtyard, and it sounded terrifying.

From that day on, Bai Xiaochun started visiting Big Fatty Zhang more often, and gradually, the spirit-tailed chicken of the Violet Cauldron Peak started to disappear….

Every night, two great cock bandits attacked. One steals, the other stands guard. Immediately, the Violet Cauldron Peak disciples were in an uproar, and everyone was discussing the matter.

"Did you hear? The Chicken Thief from Fragrant Cloud Peak had set his sights on Violet Cauldron Peak! ”

“I really saw it happen! The Chicken Thief was not a person, it was a team of two people! "

When the news returned to Fragrant Cloud Peak, the disciples of the Outer Sect all took a deep breath and looked with sympathy towards the Violet Cauldron Peak.

“So the Chicken Thief has learned to be balanced. He ended up not stealing the chicken from our Fragrant Cloud Peak …. "
