How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hong Xiaochen looked at the spirit chicken with surprise: "Yu Ying, do you want it to reproduce?"

But there's no time to waste. The immortal is only passing through; he might leave at any moment.

"Yes, this method is somewhat impractical."

Hei Muguang shook his head in agreement: "Besides, we have no experience in raising spirit chickens..."

"Oh dear, you've all misunderstood!"

Lan Yuying smiled and shook her head: "Do you still remember that big case in the city back then involving the 'red-haired old man'?"

"Of course, I was personally involved in that case back then!"

Hei Muguang paused for a moment, then answered seriously.

That happened eleven years ago. A red-haired evil cultivator broke into the city lord's mansion in the dead of night and launched a suicidal attack on the city lord.

Afterwards, although the red-haired evil cultivator was not skilled enough and was arrested after being discovered, the city lord's legs were crippled.

At that time, it was only the second year since the new city lord took office—and it was then that he was full of ambition and worked hard to reorganize the various powerful families in Five Colors City.

After the incident, the city lord suspected that every major clan in the city was a traitor, with the five largest clans—Black, Red, Green, White, and Yellow—being the most likely suspects.

In reality, it wasn't the five major clans that did this, but simply crying foul isn't enough.

To express their sincerity, the five major clans paid a price together, inviting an outer disciple of the Medicine King Sect. Using a precious herb called "Shouqiu Grass," they found the true mastermind behind the red-haired evil cultivator and cleared the Five Colors Clan's name.

Afterwards, although the outer disciple left in a hurry, a portion of the Shouqiu Grass was left and stored in the city lord's mansion.

"Feed the spirit chicken that herb, and let it lead us to the chicken coop. Wouldn't that be a perfect way to catch them all?"

Lan Yuying smiled and said, "Both of you hold official positions in the City Lord's Mansion. I think if you make a request, the City Lord will surely grant you something, right?"

"!"

Hong Xiaochen's eyes widened suddenly: "Great idea! How come I didn't think of that!"

"Sister-in-law, you may not know this..."

Hei Muguang smiled and said, "After that incident, the city lord stockpiled a lot of Shouqiu grass, but he never used it much again."

In other words, if the two of us wanted to get a few plants, it wouldn't be a problem at all!

Chapter 9 As expected of you guys!

"Wonderful!"

"It's not just wonderful, it's absolutely wonderful!"

"In this way, both children can be sent to the immortal's tutelage..."

Lan Yuying smiled and looked at Hei Yang and Hong Li, whose expressions were frozen: "What do you think of this idea?"

"That's bad!"

"It's not just bad, it's absolutely awful!"

"Wait, wait, I said, isn't there a possibility..."

Hongli held up one finger: "Is it possible that even if we hand the spirit chicken over to an immortal, they won't accept it as a disciple?"

"That's it!"

Hei Yang chimed in, "The idea that a spirit chicken equals a predestined connection to immortality is just everyone's imagination. It's true that immortals like to eat chicken, but they've never said they want to take on any disciples! So I think..."

"Master, Madam, there's big news!"

A servant rushed in from outside the door and, at Hong Xiaochen's nod, began to speak.

The immortal who was temporarily staying at the Huang family's residence, known as "Chulinzi," publicly announced that he would leave to continue his travels and cultivation in a month.

But before that, as long as you are sincere enough, you will have the opportunity to become his apprentice, and there is no limit to the number of times you can become his apprentice!

"Yes, sincerity means offering a spirit rooster; the immortal himself said so!"

Hei Yang: "..."

Hongli: "..."

Dude, your timing for appearing on screen is just too perfect!

"See, now it's all right."

Hei Muguang clapped his hands and laughed, "Perfect! When we find the spirit chicken coop, we won't have to worry about this choice anymore."

"Wow, no, no!"

Hongli waved her hand and said, "Oh well, no matter what, I'm not going!"

"that's right!"

Hei Yang nodded seriously in agreement. "Going out of the city is too dangerous. There are packs of tigers and wolves outside, and the dense forests in the mountains are difficult to traverse. It's tiring and you're likely to get injured!"

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Hong Xiaochen chuckled and said, "I definitely won't let the two of you go alone. If something goes wrong, not only will we not find the spirit chicken coop, but we'll also lose the spirit chicken. Then it will all be for nothing, and neither of us will be able to go."

"and many more……"

Hei Yang suddenly spoke up: "You just said, in case something unexpected happens..."

"No one can go..."

Hongli replied, "Really?"

"Ok?"

Hong Xiaochen looked puzzled: "How could this be fake? How will you become disciples without the spirit chicken?"

Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a furtive glance.

[Black Sun: Cooperation?]

[Hongli: Let's cooperate!]

After a brief exchange, the two salted fish understood each other's thoughts, and a strange light simultaneously appeared in their eyes.

"No, no, no, I suddenly think it's better if the two of us go!"

Hei Yang waved his hand: "After all, if there are too many people, the target will be too big, and it will be easy to alert the enemy and end up empty-handed."

"That's right!"

Hongli nodded vigorously in agreement: "Didn't you say that fledglings will eventually leave the nest? I think this operation is a great experience for us!"

After all, we can't live under the protection of our elders forever, can we?

If we can't even handle something like this, then we shouldn't even talk about cultivating immortality!

"Yes, Hongli is right!"

“That’s right, Hei Yang is right!”

"You guys..."

The three adults were stunned to see the two suddenly united on the same side.

After an unknown amount of time, Hongli's mother smiled, a smile tinged with tears of relief: "My good daughter, you've finally grown up and are determined to be independent..."

"Xiaoyang, you..."

Hei Muguang opened his mouth, his face full of surprise and disbelief. He looked at Hong Xiaochen and found that the other person had the same expression.

Taking a deep breath, the three adults fixed their gazes and said in unison, "Alright! You two will go! There's no time to lose, grab your weapons and set off as soon as possible!"

Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a smile; the plan had worked!

……

So, where exactly are we headed?

Hong Li sighed, her dead fish eyes devoid of light, her feet crunching softly in the snow-covered forest.

Although the mountain path was slippery, they were martial arts practitioners, so they were unlikely to fall or anything.

"We've already come this far, Mom and Dad shouldn't be following us anymore. Let's hurry up and find a place to release this spirit chicken."

"Just bear with it, we haven't gone far yet..."

Hei Yang sighed, holding the iron chain in his hand, watching the spirit chicken in front of him slowly walk in a certain direction under the influence of the first hill grass.

"Let's walk a few more steps, then let it go somewhere cool and stay there."

"All right……"

Hongli sighed, "After all that work and effort, it would be such a waste to just let it go like this!"

"Yeah, it was a huge loss, a real financial blow!"

Hei Yang nodded in agreement: "Why don't you just give in and take the spirit chicken and obediently cultivate your cultivation..."

"If you hadn't brought this up, we would still be good brothers."

"walk slowly!"
