How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

[Hongli: Happy 17th birthday, Heiyang! I hope you continue to be happy every day!]

[Hei Yang: Thank you, Xiao Li!]

[Hongli: Hehe, come early! I'll give you your birthday present after it arrives!]

[Heiyang: I'll look into it.]

……

July 31st.

[Hongli: It's almost the end of July.]

[Black Sun: Ah, yes.]

[Hongli: Come here quickly.]

[Black Sun: Hmm.]

……

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has advanced to the eighth level of Qi Refining; your cultivation level is now synchronized.]

……

"It's almost August."

Hei Yang stopped and turned to look at the big horse beside him: "Hey, are you scared?"

"hold head high?"

The horse turned its neck and stared at the black sun. What did it have to be afraid of? It was a domesticated horse that had been arranged and had its desires suppressed from birth.

Are you afraid of dying?

I've never felt like I've truly lived.

"Is this so..."

Hei Yang nodded blankly, then suddenly smiled: "It's like suddenly seeing my former self, being restrained by reins and whipped around, it really wasn't comfortable."

"I don't know where this is. It feels like even the spiritual energy has become thinner."

Hei Yang casually remarked, "Perhaps, when I run out of food and my spiritual energy is depleted, I might eat you too, Da Ma."

"hold head high……"

Da Ma glanced at Hei Yang. So, Hei Yang had promised to give it more meat, but now not only was that promise broken, but it also owed Hei Yang several hundred pieces of meat.

"I'm sorry, but it seems I have to break my promise."

Hei Yang smiled as he stroked the horse's back, removed the saddle, untied the reins, and then tied them into a loop, placing it around the horse's neck.

The latter closed its eyes; was it about to strangle it?

Nothing happened. Da Ma opened its eyes and saw that Hei Yang had a bottle with a long, thin neck hanging around its neck. The bottle was full of pills and had no cap.

"I've discovered it; this fog seems to only follow me."

Then walk in the opposite direction from me. When you get hungry, pick up the bottle and eat a pill, but be careful not to spill it or eat too much at once. Stay close to the main road and avoid the wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards.

Hei Yang said softly, "Let's start now with the freedom we've never had before?"

"..."

Da Ma looked at Hei Yang, twisted his body, and shook his head.

He was used to being with people, and freedom was not a good thing for him.

"Then go back, back to the capital, back to the place where you were born."

Hei Yang shook his head, turned around, and waved his hand: "Trust my pills, you won't starve on this journey."

"hold head high?"

Da Ma shouted that after he went out, he could continue forward, find the Five Elements City, find the Hong Li that Hei Yang mentioned, and help him deliver something or something.

"No, that's too unlucky, like sending an urn of ashes."

Hei Yang scoffed, "Also, you're not allowed to go to Five Elements City to find Hong Li, or I'll catch up with you and beat you to death."

"hold head high!"

Big Horse's eyes widened, and it turned to run. But after a few steps, it stopped, slowly turned its head, and saw Black Sun gently waving at it before disappearing into the gray mist.

"!"

Da Ma suddenly looked around. The rocks, trees, and distant sunset had all vanished, and the mist had disappeared as well. The figure of the black sun had also disappeared.

Da Ma stood there in a daze, shaking his neck as the pills rattled in the bottle.

……

"Pooh!"

Hong Li spat out the blood-stained spirit stone fragment from her mouth, looked down and wiped her chin, discovering that her entire collar and chest were soaked in blood.

However, this is a trivial matter. What is truly important is that she has exhausted all her spirit stones and doesn't have enough!

"Where are the people..."

Hong Li coughed twice, turned her head to look at the spirit stone fragments scattered all around her, and frowned: "Time waits for no one..."

"Senior sister, senior sister!"

"mom!"

Xiao Huo and Xing Yun burst through the door, judging from their panting, they must have sprinted all the way here.

"It's all...it's all here..."

Xingyun picked up the storage bag in her hand and said breathlessly, "The spirit stones that the sect collected for you, all my savings, and those membership cards, I made a fuss and asked them to refund them, plus the advance payment for next month's and the month after that, they only allowed this much... It's all here!"

Auntie, Auntie hasn't come back yet, so, this is all we have, I don't know if it's enough..."

"Thank you, Xiaoyun."

Hongli suddenly hugged Xingyun and patted her back: "Don't worry, I'll sell everything I own to pay you back, and I'll pay you back double!"

"Money, money isn't important..."

Xingyun waved her hand, a worried expression on her face: "Although I don't know why Senior Sister suddenly needs so many spirit stones, there must be something important going on. I don't know if this is enough."

If that's not enough, I'll try to borrow more..."

"No need, you've already worked so hard keeping me company until this late."

Hongli patted Xingyun on the back and forced a smile: "Leave the rest to me."

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has shattered meridians, and her cultivation level... has failed to decrease!]

……

[Your contract partner (Hong Li) has advanced to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and your cultivation level is now synchronized.]

"Then comes... Foundation Establishment..."

Hongli opened her eyes, looked at Xiaohuo and Xingyun who were fast asleep beside her, gently smiled, and carefully helped them lie down on the bed without waking them... perhaps?

"Good night."

Hongli murmured softly, "Little Fire, Little Cloud, sweet dreams."

"Sister..."

"Ok?"

Hongli looked at Xingyun, who seemed to be talking in her sleep, and the latter muttered softly, "Keep it up..."

"Mom...bring Dad...back..."

Little Fire drooled, "And then... Little Fire got a dad too..."

"These two girls..."

Hong Li shook her head and chuckled, then turned her head away, her expression returning to calm: "Foundation Establishment!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 115 Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead... Life is full of unexpected encounters!

"Let's go, everyone's leaving."

Hei Yang rested his head on his hands, his eyes gazing into the distance, but he was walking backwards.

Anyway, I can't tell which way to go anymore. It all seems the same no matter which way to go or how to get there.

The man who used to be by his side has also disappeared, and now he is all alone.

[Hongli: Good morning, August 1st. Tomorrow is my birthday, you have to come, or I'll hit you!]

Well, it seems he's not the only one.

[Heiyang: Okay, okay, didn't you sleep all night?]

[Hongli: Asleep, just woke up.]
