The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1017 - 549: Six Truths (2)
After observing the chickens for a while, Yan Xiaobao remained motionless. He didn't do anything reckless but returned down the mountain, where he spent some spirit stones to buy some spiritual worms, then he went back to his courtyard residence.
When he got back, he was so hungry that he almost fainted and immediately started looking around for food.
Soon his gaze fell on the spiritual bamboo, and his eyes began to shine. The bamboo stalks were already about 3 meters tall, as thick as a fist. From the spiritual glow they emitted, they seemed far from ordinary.
Yan Xiaobao quickly rushed over and began circling the bamboo stalks, laughing gleefully as he studied them carefully. Based on his research of plants and vegetation, he quickly identified the toughest stem among the various stalks, then cut it at the base and split it in half.
When it came to stealing chickens, Yan Xiaobao had a very unique method. The key lay in the word "steal" itself. Being able to acquire a chicken without anyone noticing was an art form.
He quickly used some bamboo to make a device called a bamboo cicada.
Since childhood, he had learned from his father how to make bamboo cicadas. It's said that they could effectively capture a range of creatures from chickens to phoenixes. Once the bamboo cicada itself was completed, he wove a string from some bamboo strips. After finishing, he tested the strength of the string, attaching it to the bamboo cicada, and then flew into the dark night.
"I want to eat chicken!!" his stomach grumbled, but his eyes gleamed with a green light. His hunger made him move faster than usual, and he soon arrived at the Spirit Tail Chicken Farm.
As he approached, he tiptoed, placed a spirit worm on the bamboo cicada, and then tossed the bamboo cicada onto the fence. Next, he squatted down to the side, holding the string tied to the cicada.
Inside the fence, there were some small wooden houses where certain Outer Sect Disciples lived and practiced cultivation. The farm was very large, with over a hundred spirit tail chickens, most of which lay on the ground. Some walked around, occasionally arrogantly lifting their heads to look around. After a while, one of the spirit tail chickens seemed to notice something. It turned and walked over. It immediately saw the spirit worm sitting there, prompting it to peck with its beak to grab it.
However, as soon as the spirit tail chicken pecked the spirit worm, at the crucial moment, the bent bamboo piece opened, cleverly forcing the chicken's beak open.
The spirit tail chicken wanted to cry out, but its beak was stuck, and it couldn't make any sound. It then tried to close its beak and crush the bamboo, but the bamboo was too elastic, and its efforts were in vain.
No matter how the spirit tail chicken struggled, it couldn't peek as it was quickly dragged towards the fence, repeatedly falling straight into Yan Xiaobao's hands. Yan Xiaobao quickly used the power of Fourth-level Qi Condensation, channeling a substantial amount of power into his hands, which he used to break the chicken's neck. Then he tossed it into his bag. From the way he moved, he seemed quite adept at this sort of task.
The whole event took only about thirty breaths, with most of the time spent waiting. If not for that, it would have been completed even faster.
Yan Xiaobao excitedly ran back to his courtyard residence, the aroma quickly filling the air. By dawn, the entire chicken was now in Yan Xiaobao's stomach.
The only things left were feathers and scattered bones....
After eating the whole spirit tail chicken, most of Yan Xiaobao's hunger had subsided. With his body replenished, he felt very warm and comfortable.
In fact, he seemed to have more spiritual energy inside him. However, the most noticeable change was related to his Immortal Eternal Life Skill. Yan Xiaobao immediately began breathing exercises, lasting about eight cycles.
With each inhale and exhale, pulsating warmth spread through his body, then converged on his skin. This, in turn, made his skin tougher and more elastic, even flickering with a black light. However, if observed closely, it was as fair and clear as before.
"The Immortal Eternal Life Skill begins with pain, then turns to hunger. This type of cultivation is certainly quite arduous, yet the results are very good." With that, he extended his right hand, and his wooden sword appeared. Then, he carefully tapped the blade lightly against the back of his hand.
The Wooden Sword had a dual spirit enhancement, but when it touched his skin, Yan Xiaobao could feel faint resistance. He stopped any further testing, more convinced than ever that he needed to continue cultivating the Immortal Eternal Life Skill.
"According to the description, Immortal Skin has four stages: iron, bronze, silver, and gold. Now I am just starting. However, if I can persist for eighty-one days... I should be able to develop immortal iron skin." Yan Xiaobao looked around at the scattered chicken bones, and in his heart, he now realized the key to successfully cultivating the bone: immortal iron skin.
"Thank heavens, there are many spirit tail chickens on the mountain," he thought with a smile. He was now more interested in spirit tail chickens than ever.
What he didn't know was that, in the past ten thousand years of Spirit Stream Sect's history, very few had ever cultivated the Immortal Eternal Life Skill. Most ended up giving up during the initial eighty-one days of terrifying torture. Though some managed to keep going, the main issue afterward was how much it cost to continue.
