6: Spirit Stone

For the rest of the day, xiao Chen boldly jumped over the chicken fence and immediately slaughtered each and everyone of them, using them as cultivation experience..

Surely grandpa wouldn't care?

The more he killed and devoured the more he felt his comprehension on the [astral gale sword art] grow deeper and deeper..

The sword art only had one skill, which made the sword of the martial artist faster, sharper and able to condense wind blades..

It was a very common technique in this world "apparently" but for xiao Chen this technique was godly, as his comprehension grew deeper, with just a few swings he could send out wind blades powerful enough to cut off necks instantly, this technique was far from normal, the more his comprehension grew, the stronger this technique became, it was possible to even split mountains with this technique..

For the rest of the night, xiao Chen slept soundly and relaxed, he would have an even more fruitful day tomorrow...

....

Xiao Chen yawned after waking up, usually he would feel tired, but he actually felt full of energy right in the morning..

This must be because of his cultivation..

After freshening up and doing some warm-ups, xiao Chen grabbed a sword before leaving the hut, making sure to close the door shut behind him..

Staring at the vast forest on the mountainside, xiao Chen breathed in deeply, it was best to be cautious..

Xiao Chen stepped through the lush green forest, the trees themselves were very huge, it would take at least 3 men just to fully hug a single one...

Currently, Xiao Chen was looking for any beast he could devour, it might take a while longer depending on the beasts he devours..

Xiao Chen continued to wander around the forest, making sure to kill any beast he saw, he had met a few weaker beasts in the span of 30 minutes, but this was far from enough..

Only those beasts which cultivated would be of much help to him...

...

After walking around and devouring weaker beasts, xiao Chen reached an open area, there was a small pond in the open area, surrounded by large trees as if they were protecting it..

"Finally some water" xiao Chen said before moving closer, back at the old mans hut, they would rarely shower, and xiao Chen smelled really bad nonetheless, there were no humans around currently but it was still better to get rid of the smell that was threatening to burn his nose hairs..

Xiao Chen was getting ready to remove his clothes when he noticed a slight ripple in the pond...

"Nani" xiao Chen stared at the pond, he was curious about what type of beast was living in this pond...

Swoosh!!!

Xiao Chen's eye's narrowed..

"So fast", the only thing he saw was a black and feathery shadow dash out of the pond, he didn't dare to wait anymore, anything in these mountains were dangerous and deadly..

Xiao Chen used all his strength to kick off the ground, after stabilizing himself he drew his sword and slashed out..

An all black serpentine like body fell onto the ground, it was a black feathered snake..

These black feathered snakes weren't strong, but they were very venomous and fast, if one was unlucky they could drill through one's heart and leave many holes in one's body...

Xiao Chen excitedly grabbed the corpse of the snake..

"Hahah, this is good cultivation material" xiao Chen sat down before devouring the snake, the black feathered snake had two small wings which could help it fly at devilish speeds, it was also a beast at the early body-refining realm...

After feeling his cultivation slowly improving, xiao Chen smiled before removing his clothes and jumping into the pond...

With a loud splash, he was completely under the water, xiao Chen swam around for a while, the pond was too small and it would be impossible to swim around too much..

He had only been in the water for a few minutes, yet he sensed a warm sensation at the bottom of the pond, xiao Chen looked at the pond intently, but it was simply hard to see anything, he took a deep breath before submerging himself under the pond..

His eyes flashed with excitement as he looked below, the pond itself wasn't deep..

There was a glowing stone protruding from the side of the pond, nearly close to the bottom..

"Hehe, anything that glows is a treasure" xiao Chen thought before diving deeper, as he got closer he aggressively snatched the glowing blue stone before moving back up..

Looking at the still glowing blue stone in his palm, xiao Chen grew curious..

"System, what is this?" Xiao Chen asked, surely the system would help...

[item identified!!!

This is a spirit stone which carries strong energies of heaven and earth, these are most likely used by cultivators of the heavenly Qi realm as currency and also a cultivation material, normal people can't absorb this type of tyrannical resource, but it is possible for the host] the system's voice resounded in his head...

"Spirit stone huh" xiao Chen raised his brows, of corse he knew what a spirit stone was, it was a currency used by cultivators and also used as resources, many eastern fantasy web novels mentioned them a lot.

Xiao Chen bathed himself for a couple more minutes before hopping out of the pond, his body still wet...

He could only put on his ragged and dirty clothes, he couldn't just wait there naked like an idiot just to dry up..

Xiao Chen found a tree before sitting under it, with the small spirit stone in hand he started using the [primordial devouring technique] the spirit stone's energy was slowly being drained, but the process would take a while longer...

Xiao Chen peacefully and calmly cultivated under the tree for at least an hour, the small spirit stone was nearly finished,..

Boom!!!

A loud earth-shattering sound was heard inside his body as if a huge gate had been broken through,..

[congratulations to the host for breaking through....
