Spiritual Treasure
Xi Chen went to the body and took out the token.
The token was made of wooden with crude iron glued to the front. On the front is a symbol of something that look like a blade. On the back it read 'Iron Blade Gang'.
"He must be a member of south gate Iron Blade Gang. Atleast a small captain or leader." Xi Chen then crushed the token.
After that he continued. "Search this area. He must be here for something important."
"Yes." Both the boys replied at the same time.
The trio fend out to search for the reason of Iron Blade Gang member appearing here.
10 minutes passed.
From the direction of Xi Bing a voice of someone calling was heard.
Both Xi Chen and Xi Xuan ran into the direction.
When they reached there, Xi Bing looking at something. It was a blood red flower.
It was nestled between two collapsed boulders under a canopy of creeping vines. It was something he had never seen or heard before.
A message instantly popped up as he was looking at the flower.
[Bone Breaker's Bloom.
Rank: Grade 1
Sub-rank: High-Mid Grade]
(Properties: Stimulates Bone regeneration and restructuring. Highly effective for Bone Tempering.)
Xi Chen walked up to it and knelt beside the flower. Even being this close, he could feel it —heat spreading from the earth beneath it,a rhythmic human I the air. His panel flared to life, golden script dancing before his eyes.
[Crimson Blood Eyes awakened]
Then the properties of the Bone Breaker's Bloom was added with an additional one more property.
[Bone Breaker's Bloom: Very effectivefor breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm.]
In just a span of 1 minute, he had gotten two treasures.
'Crimson Blood Eyes and Bone Breaker's Bloom. Wow two rare opportunities for me. I did not know that the panel has that kind of ability.' Thought of happiness lit up inside Xi Chen's head.
Then he remembered the heavy air gathering in the direction and instantly his head clicked.
"Big Brother, what is this thing. Is this a poisonous plant?" Xi Xuan asked to Xi Chen.
Anybody, who did not know Bone Breaker's Bloom, would think it as a poisonous plant.
"No, this thing is a spiritual treasure that many people talks about. This can help people to breakthrough to the Bone Tempering Realm. Remember this is a High-Mid Grade 1 herb. It can be use in Bone Tempering. And its name is Bone Breaker's Bloom." Xi Chen talked about the flowers properties so that his younger brothers could remember it not lost an opportunity in future.
"Wow, it is amazing. We thought it is a poisonous plant." Both the boys was amazed.
Xi Chen then put his hands, fingers first, into soil around the flower. He then started to dig up the flower without trying to damage the root. He does not know if damaging the root could affect the plant and let it loss its essence.
Huh...
After uprooting the flower, Xi Chen signaled with his hand to give him the bamboo basket.
When he was done carefully putting the flower in the basket, he said. "We will return home when it is dark. If not we might get caught by other martial artist carrying this thing. We might not be able to keep this thing for ourself by then."
----------
When the sky is darken.
Three man was seen entering the town in a thiefly manner. They look like they stole something and was trying hard not to let anyone see them. Three big bamboo basket was also seen hanging behind their back.
The trio is Xi Chen and his brothers.
After entering the town without anyone seeing them, they hurried towards their home.
When they reached their home, the trio let out a sigh of reliefs.
But they did not stop there. They continued moving to the kitchen. After entering the kitchen did they were truly relieved.
Xi Chen pulled out a wooden big box from the corner. And beneath place where the wooden box was a hole, big enough for a man to pass through it, was revealed.
The trio looked at each other and one by one they enters the hole with their bamboo baskets.
When they reached the end of the hole, a underground room was there.
It is the room Xi Chen and his siblings build for secret training. Here they practices their combat skills and cultivate here. All the necessary equipment for the training was there. Even equipment for secretly forging weapons are there.
They put down their baskets.
"Now we just need to cut the wild boar meat. Then we will eat it slowly. If we eat it at once the effect it will bring will not be much as we can not digest to much at once." Xi Chen instructs his brothers to clean the boar meat and prepare to cook it.
In the meantime, Xi Chen carefully put the Bone Breaker's Bloom to a safebox so that he can use it later. He wanted to use it when he is about to reach Bone Tempering Realm.
-------
After the boar meat was done cooking, Xi Chen and his siblings sat at the table to eat it.
Before they eat the meat, Xi Chen looked at his brothers and said. "Listen carefully, you have to eat this meat quickly or else you would not have time to refine all this energy. Now eat it before it losses all the energy."
In a funny but fast way, the triocate the dinner and went to their respective rooms to refine the energy.
--------
Inside the room.
Xi Chen was busy refining the energy, he got from the boar meat.
"Half Qi Beast meat has so much energy. How much will a real Qi Beast have. Its whole body much be overflowing with Qi energy." Xi Chen contemplates as he refine the energy.
More than 2 hours later.
Xi Chen, sitting on his bed in a lotus position, opened his eyes. He had already done refining.
