Ye Tian was very excited to see how much experience will a spirit stone provides. However, it was just a low-grade spirit stone, so he doesn't have too many expectations for it. And he had also absorbed one-fourth amount of spiritual energy within it to break through the second layer of Qi Gathering.
He grabbed the spirit stone and began to absorb the energy within it.
[Ding…]
[ABSORBING- Spirit Stone(Low)]
Ye Tian, who was absorbing the energy, overjoyed as he heard the sound of the system. He was absorbing the spiritual energy within the spirit stone and the system was converting that energy into experience. Now, he got a way to get unlimited experience by just absorbing spirit stones.
...
...
One incense stick time later...
[EXPERIENCE +30]
[EXPERIENCE — (102/300)]
Ye Tian became instantly surprised as he saw the experience rising.
"Heavens, thirty experience points, no it was just three-fourth of the whole spirit stone. That means forty experience points. With only one low-rank spirit stone. Hahaha, My destiny must be great." Ye Tian muttered with a happy expression.
He was planning on returning to the sect to give this happy news to Old Lee as he heard some sound. He glanced in the direction where the sound came from.
"Hm!?"
Ye Tian was startled by the spiritual energy coming from that direction.
"There must be someone very powerful there. Sh*t! I should be careful."
Ye Tian was now at the fourth layer of Qi Gathering and his sensing ability also improved as he advanced. He can sense the auras of cultivators better than before. And he was sure that the aura coming from that person was on a completely different level.
As he was preparing to run, a thought suddenly crossed his mind.
"Wait, if I can sense him. Then why can't he, who is stronger than me, sense me?!"
After carefully thinking, he changed the direction of him and ran towards the person with a wide grin on his face.
He almost forgot about that! Nobody can sense his aura, as it's been hidden by the system. He can even control his aura with the help of the system, in front of others, he was just a mortal.
He got closer and closer to that person. When he was very close to him, he can sense some weaker auras around that person.
"What?! There are more people! No! Wait, they are very weak compared to that person."
Ye Tian now can hear the sound of their footsteps. He quietly followed them but maintaining some distance. He glanced from the bushes to them as he saw six people chatting while walking upwards the mountain. The one in the lead was, without a doubt, the strongest.
"Are you sure?"
The one in the lead spoke.
"Yes, sir."
"There is some aggressive beast that has sneaked in here and started killing peaceful beasts."
"Hmm."
Ye Tian was shocked as he heard them.
"An Aggressive beast!?"
Ye Tian gulped his saliva and kept following them.
