How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hong Li said calmly, "Surely we lazy dogs shouldn't count on such things as bringing glory to our ancestors."

"really."

Hei Yang nodded in agreement: "But anyway, this spot isn't for me, my cousin from my uncle's family has already reserved it."

"Coincidentally, one of my cousins ​​also reserved our Hong family's spot."

"..."

"Hey, have you heard?"

Hongli suddenly lowered her voice: "I heard that a great immortal has come to stay with the Huang family. He said he wants to select a young talent from our five families to take him under his wing and teach him the art of cultivation!"

"Everyone knows about this."

Hei Yang's expression remained unchanged: "There's no need to whisper about something that everyone in the city already knows."

It is said that the immortal likes to eat chicken, so everyone in Five-Colored City, from children to the elderly, went out of the city to catch the so-called spirit chicken.

As a result, the tigers and wolves in the mountains outside the city have been having extra food every day lately.

So you're not going?

"Didn't you not go either?"

"Because I'm lazy!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 2 Seriously, I had everything planned out yesterday!

"Speaking of which, why have you been so interested in cultivation lately?"

Hei Yang looked at Hong Li suspiciously: "Logically speaking, you and I are both lazy bums, so you should stay far away from this kind of hardship, right?"

Could it be... that you were bribed by the "Involution Team" and betrayed the organization?!

"Almost got it."

Seeing Hei Yang's heartbroken expression, as if betrayed, Hong Li rolled her eyes: "I just... simply don't want to die..."

"Ok?"

Hei Yang was startled and quickly asked, "Has anyone threatened your life? Tell me quickly so I can help you escape."

"Yes, I do. I have a terminal illness!"

Hong Li looked serious.

"Ah this!"

Hei Yang's pupils widened in shock: "Oh no, I've never studied medicine either. Why don't you hold on a little longer, and I'll go to the clinic in the east of the city to become an apprentice?"

"This disease...you can't cure it!"

"No way……"

Hei Yang said incredulously, "Otherwise, I'll go to the coffin shop in the west of the city and become an apprentice."

I'll try my best to make you a coffin that fits your body perfectly...

"Um, what are your measurements again?"

"climb."

Hong Li sighed: "This disease is called slow oxidation syndrome. Specifically, as long as I continue to breathe, I will slowly die of old age and rot within a hundred years. It's terrifying!"

However, if one were to cultivate, reaching the Qi Refining Realm would grant an extra hundred years of life, the Foundation Establishment Realm would grant a lifespan of up to three hundred years, the Golden Core Realm would grant a lifespan of five hundred years, and the Nascent Soul Realm would grant a carefree lifespan of a thousand years...

There's also the legendary path of becoming an immortal, after which this disease can be completely cured, and you won't have to worry about dying of old age!

"what?!"

Hei Yang looked shocked: "Humans can actually die of old age?!"

"?"

A question mark appeared above Hong Li's head: "Are you perhaps suffering from a serious illness? Are you going to live forever instead of die of old age?"

"I always thought it was a rumor."

Hei Yang shook his head and argued, "Think about it, if it's really like they say, that humans will die of old age."

So, when two people have one child, they become one person, and then there are all sorts of natural disasters, man-made calamities, diseases, accidents, and the child's early death...

Shouldn't the human population gradually decrease over time?

But that's not the case in reality, so I suspect it's a rumor!

As long as we stay comfortably at home, we can keep living!

"?????"

Hongli was full of questions: "Um, can't I live for two more years after giving birth?"

Why, in your algorithm, do the parents have to be sacrificed after the child is born?

"..."

Hei Yang's expression instantly turned blank: "Sorry, I was in a bit of a rush today and forgot to bring my brain."

"Understandable."

Hongli nodded: "After all, it's normal to miss something that's so small sometimes."

"You're swearing, aren't you?"

Please do not take this personally.

"Alright, alright, let's go home and take a herbal bath. I'm feeling weak."

Hongli jumped off the stool, stretched, and revealed her graceful curves. Only then could Heiyang realize that his good brother was actually a girl!

……

"Mom, I'm back."

Hei Yang stepped into the house and greeted his mother at the door. She was directing the maids, but Hei Yang didn't care.

As for Hei Yang's father, at this point in time, he should be helping with city affairs at the city lord's mansion.

Ignoring his mother's reproachful expression that said, "Why did you come back so soon?" Hei Yang knew she was trying to set him up with Hong Li, but he wasn't in the mood to think about it right now.

He locked the door and skillfully added various herbs and hot water to a wooden tub in the center of the room.

Seeing that the medicine had almost dissipated, Hei Yang didn't care about the water temperature. He simply took off his clothes and stuffed himself in, and immediately a wave of heat rose from the top of his head.

Hei Yang wasn't trying to stew himself; what he was doing was a medicinal bath—in this cultivation world brimming with spiritual energy, wealthy families like the Hei family would start using these medicinal herbs to strengthen their children's bodies from a young age.

Although very faint, he could indeed feel these valuable herbs working to heal his body.

"But no matter how good the conditions are, we are still just ordinary people."

Hei Yang sighed. His conversation with Hong Li today had instilled a slight fear of death in this 16-year-old boy.

To be honest, Hei Yang had already experienced death once. In his previous life, he lived in a modern society where technology and information were advanced and supernatural powers were not readily apparent.

Coincidentally, in that life he also died in an accident at the age of sixteen, and later, when crossing the Bridge of Helplessness, he mistook Meng Po's soup for mouthwash...

Hei Yang wasn't sure if he could be reincarnated with his memories after dying in this life. In fact, in this cultivation world, it was normal for him to be beaten to a pulp!

Moreover, Hei Yang still remembers how Meng Po was so angry that she cursed, "You brat, when you fall into my hands next time, I'll definitely make you drink a whole vat of soup!"

At the time, Hei Yang secretly mocked the old woman, after all, why would he be so foolish as to walk into a trap?

But what if I were to die again in this life...

"hiss!"

Hei Yang couldn't help but gasp, then quickly spat it out: "No way, that old lady looks quite old, she should be retired by now..."

Besides, I've already transmigrated, so I shouldn't be under her jurisdiction anymore..."

For a moment, Hei Yang felt that his life was shrouded in darkness!

He wanted to freeload, but he didn't want to die!

"So, do I also have to go and open the book?"

Hei Yang felt like there were two little people arguing with each other next to his head.

One is my lazy state, and the other is my slightly less lazy state!

"No way! I want a happy life, I don't want to work hard to cultivate immortality!"

"You are truly blessed but do not know how blessed you are. Do you know how many people envy your conditions? How many ambitious people have to give up their dreams because of their family circumstances?"

If you don't cherish your opportunities, you'll be lucky if you're reborn as a dog in your next life!

"Then I'm a lazy dog ​​too!"

"..."

"hateful!"

Hei Yang waved away the two little figures and sighed, "Then it's decided. From today onwards, work hard... well, let's start tomorrow!"
