After cleaning up the room, Su Ling took the bottle of healing pills on the table and was going to give it to Yun when she suddenly tripped. She didn't let go of the bottle of pills so, she directly fell on her face. It was to the point that the shelf near Su Ling was shaken and a piece of rock the size of a fist also fell on her head.
«...Ouch! What was that? » Su Ling cried out in pain.
After searching for the thing that fell on her head, she finally found it. When her eyes stumbled upon that piece of rock, she began to panic and rushed to see if there was any crack on the rock.
«Oh my God! Dad's precious rock. Forgive me young master! I didn't do it on purpose. I'll put it back on the shelf. » she cried out with an apologetic gesture.
The former Yun Chen was very attached to this rock because it was one of the few things his father left behind.
His father found it in the nest of an innate realm demon beast and fiercely fought against it. That beast even protected this rock at the cost of its life. So, there is no way it is an ordinary rock. That is more of a case if it is an innate realm demon beast. They are very sensitive to treasures of heaven and earth.
«Wait a minute! Can I see the stone? » Yun Chen asked curiously.
At the moment Yun Chen touched the stone he felt a powerful energy coming from within. Even if the energy was very powerful, if you don't have a very high level of cultivation, you can't feel it. But Yun Chen, a former divine realm cultivator was different. He used his divine sense to probe the inside of the rock and was dumbfounded by what he discovered.
«This… this is primordial spirit stone? » Yun Chen let out.
Yun Chen recalled reading about this in an ancient book. The primordial spirit stone is a spirit stone that was formed at the beginning of the universe. It contains primordial qi which is more powerful than true qi.
If that demon beast were to absorb and refine this thing, it is possible for it to evolve directly into a nascent-soul realm demon beast. But humans can only refine true qi. They can't absorb primordial qi.
But nevertheless, it is also a spirit stone so, it may be possible to use it and create the true qi dantian. The worst that can happen is failing to create it. He can retry after with the usual spirit stones. Now excluding the spirit stone, there is two things left which are the hexa-elemental seed, and demon beasts spirit roots of six different attributes.
It is not hard to obtain the beast spirit roots. He can buy it, but he has no money. So, he will have to go to the demon beast mountain and hunt some low-level demon beast and use their spirit roots.
After recollecting his thoughts, Yun Chen carefully put aside the stone and dismissed Su Ling. He needed some rest because he didn't recover completely. Moreover, even if he has the poison qi dantian, it is useless as he can't use it freely without arming himself. He needs the poison spirit root of a poisonous monster to be able to freely release and absorb poison.
«I will have to go to the demon beast forest tomorrow and hunt some qi-condensing realm demon beasts to obtain their spirit roots. It shouldn't be too difficult with my assassin skills. The problem will be how to find the hexa-elemental seed. »
Yun Chen was very worried because the only way to find the hexa-elemental seed was to hunt a dragon-type demon beast. But this kind of creature would be at least at the foundation-building realm and, to have a good quality seed, it must have reached the core-formation realm.
While he was in deep thoughts, he suddenly heard a thunderous noise and the door of his room was destroyed.
«BAM… »
After checking what was going on, he saw a familiar figure entering the room. It was Yun Xiang, the second disciple under the third elder. He barged inside the room with a cunning smile on his face.
«Hey, trash! You aren't dead yet? » shouted Yun Xiang.
Previously, Yun Xiang was the one leading some of his fellow brother to cripple him and snatch his star-rising spirit herb.
The star-rising spirit herb is a treasure spirit herb which can rise the rank of a companion beast by 2 if it is under 5 star or by one if it is 5 star and above.
Yun Xiang is twelve this year and he didn't hatch his companion beast yet. He was surely planning to give the spirit herb to his companion beast after hatching it at the beast ceremony in two months.
«What are you doing here? » asked Yun Chen with a calm voice
«Tch...Lucky guy! You really are still alive… » exclaimed Yun Xiang in disappointment.
«We are fellow brothers of the Yun family. Yet you tried to kill me. Do you think the family rules are just for show? » replied Yun Chen with a serious face while standing up.
«Family rules?...hahahaha!!! A trash and crippled like you still think the family rules can protect him? » mocked Yun Xiang.
« … » Yun Chen didn't reply.
«You don't deserve to stay in this family. In two months, I will participate in the beast ceremony and hatch my companion beast. I will use your precious herb to rise its rank. At that time, I will become a genius in the family. Unfortunately, you won't be there to see it. » declared Yun Xiang while unsheathing the two the daggers from each side of his waist.
«Now, die for me! » shouted Yun Xiang while rushing toward Yun Chen.
At his surprise, Yun Chen easily dodged his fierce attack which made him angry.
«How dare you dodge? » Yun Xiang shouted.
«Why wouldn't I? Did you really think I will stay still and let you kill me? » answered Yun Chen with a smiling face.
Now, Yun Xiang was completely upset.
«You are dead! » shouted Yun Xiang while launching a lot of fierce attacks.
«You have a lot of flaws when attacking. Let me give you some pointers. » declared Yun Chen while dodging.
«Shut up! » Yun Xiang cried out.
« First, your attacks range is too wide so, it is easy to deflect them. » said Yun Chen while deflecting some of his attacks.
With Yun Chen experience as an assassin, it wasn't difficult to face Yun Xiang. Not even one attack succeeded.
«Second, when using daggers, you must firmly grasp them. » said Yun Chen before stroking Yun Xiang's left wrist with two fingers.
«Aaaaah! …» Yun Xiang shouted in pain. The left dagger fell on the ground.
In an all-out attack, Yun Xiang was aiming at Yun Chen's face with the right-hand dagger.
«And third, when launching an all-out attack, make sure to protect your vital part » declared Yun Chen while catching the two little eggs between Yun Xiang's legs after dodging his attack.
Yun Xiang froze on the spot with frightened face. He understood that he was no match for Yun Chen and he would be dead if he moves even an inch. Yun Chen finally let go of him.
«…Just you wait. I will take my revenge. » said Yun Xiang while taking his daggers and rushing out.
«Wait! Did I say you could take your daggers back? Leave them there! Give me their sheaths and your spirit stones. » said Yun Chen with a fierce gaze.
«You… » replied Yun Xiang trying to contain his anger.
He obediently handed over the daggers' sheaths and the spirit stones and was about to leave.
«Didn't you forget something? » asked Yun Chen trying to imply something.
«What else do you want? » asked Yun Xiang with confusion.
«Star-rising spirit herb! It was mine at the beginning. » replied Yun Chen.
Yun Xiang's anger was at its limit. But he was powerless against Yun Chen. He took out the treasure spirit herb from under his clothes and tossed it to Yun Chen.
«Take it! » shouted Yun Xiang.
When Yun Chen caught the spirit herb, Yun Xiang was already far away. He didn't want to get entangled with Yun Chen for even one more second.
