Chapter 8: The Mysterious Big Black Chicken

  Time flies, two months have passed quickly~

  After two months of cultivation with the help of the spiritual liquid, Chu Yan's strength had been raised to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining stage. The five strands of pale blue spiritual energy in his dantian made him feel extremely confident, and he finally entered the middle stage of Qi Refining. Once his cultivation at the fifth layer of Qi Refining stabilized, he would be able to control a flying sword.

  A cultivator who can control a magic weapon is considered a true cultivator. The feeling of controlling the magic weapon through the night in the heavens and on earth is something that ordinary people cannot experience. And the greatest function of a magic weapon, of course, is to attack and defend against enemies.

  Chu Yan now thinks that it's not just about passing the assessment within the peak, but also entering the top ten in the small competition within the peak to have a chance to participate in the sect's grand competition. In the sect's grand competition, one battle can make him famous, and he will receive attention from the highest level of the sect. At that time, Qi Tianlie will no longer be a threat, and he will also receive key cultivation from the sect. The great cause of immortality is right in front of him.

  Another day of miscellaneous work passed, Chu Yan walked towards his own small thatched hut on the mountain.

  Chu Yan has moved out of the miscellaneous servant's residence, because with the continuous improvement of his cultivation, the disturbance during each breakthrough is also getting bigger and bigger. Chu Yan doesn't want to expose his secret, so he moved to a more secluded place in the mountains. With Chu Yan's current strength, he can deal with ordinary demon beasts, and as for the spiritual energy in the original residence underground, he has the help of spiritual liquid and doesn't care too much about it.

  For the past two months, Chu Yan has been suppressing his cultivation at the first level of Qi Refining with the 'Soul Suppressing Stone'. He can't help but spend his days in the cold ridicule and teasing of the Fei Long Peak disciples. Nowadays, when these people mock Chu Yan, they like to add words such as "likes to hide behind a woman's back, useless trash". However, due to Hua Mengqie's relationship, no one dares to lay hands on Chu Yan.

  They didn't make a move, so Chu Yan naturally didn't need to expose his strength. Three years had passed, what was this, a small competition within the group? Chu Yan was confident that he could trample these people under his feet one by one.

  "What is this?"

  In front of a small thatched cottage, a black lump lay there, next to which was the corpse of a python.

  Chu Yan walked in and took a look, and it turned out to be a large black chicken. The chicken was so black that its feathers could be said to be even darker than those of a crow. If it weren't for the fact that it still had a light blue comb on top of its head, Chu Yan might have really mistaken it for an overfed crow. But wait, can a chicken's comb actually be light blue?

  The big black chicken's neck had two holes next to it, with blood and water gushing out. It was probably the work of this snake cow, but who killed the snake cow? Looking at the layer of white frost covering the snake cow's body, Chu Yan had some doubts in his heart. Was it this big black chicken? What a joke! This big black chicken didn't have even a hint of spiritual power fluctuations on its body. It was just an ordinary chicken and couldn't even be considered a demon beast. How could it possibly kill the snake cow?

  "Never mind, tonight's dinner is settled."

  Chu Yan thought so, took out some materials from the small thatched hut, and set up a grill beside him.

  A person lived for three years, Chu Yan's culinary skills were also honed to be extraordinary.

  The snake, python and cow had been skinned by Chu Yan, strung on a wooden stick and roasted over the holiday grill. In an instant, the aroma of meat wafted through the air. Chu Yan's appetite was in full swing, occasionally sprinkling some seasonings on top. When the meat was already golden brown, Chu Yan couldn't resist anymore, using his knife to cut off a large piece and sending it into his mouth.

  "Ah..."

  What about the meat? Chu Yan didn't bite into the meat but instead bit into the cold knife, what's going on? Did he remember it wrong?

  Chu Yan was speechless, and cut off another piece of meat to send into his mouth.

  "Ah..."

  Dizzy, what's going on? The meat is gone again, and Chu Yan bit into a cold knife.

  Chu Yan cut off another piece of meat, this time staring intently at it with both eyes, only to see a black shadow flash by in an instant, and when he looked again, the meat on the knife was already gone.

  "My god!"

  Chu Yan looked around, wanting to find the thief's whereabouts. The next moment, his eyes were fixed on the large black chicken that had not been plucked and roasted on the ground. On the neck of the big black chicken, there was a noticeable bulge moving downwards at this time.

  "So it was you all along, and you even pretended to be dead!"

  Chu Yan muttered to himself, suddenly pouncing fiercely towards the big black chicken that was still pretending to be dead on the ground. Unexpectedly, however, he ended up pouncing on nothing, and his chin even hit the ground.

  Chu Yan was furious, got up and chased after the big black chicken. Unexpectedly, this big black chicken moved as fast as a ghost, like a black lightning bolt, darting back and forth in the cave. Chu Yan was so exhausted that he was covered in sweat, but still couldn't even touch one of its black feathers.

  Chu Yan was shocked, could a chicken that can run so fast be an ordinary thing?

  Tormented by a chicken, Chu Yan felt depressed in his heart. However, he couldn't catch up with its speed no matter what. Chu Yan gritted his teeth and activated the only spiritual symbol on his body, 'Xuan Shui Zhao', which was purchased for self-defense at Linlang Building last time.

  A water curtain enveloped Chu Yan, who simply sat down and continued to roast the snake python cow, whose meat fragrance became increasingly rich.

  The big black chicken stared at Chu Yan from the corner, its mouth watering as it devoured the meat. Without hesitation, it transformed into a black lightning bolt and shot towards the grill.

  "Hmm"

  A pale blue glow enveloped him, emitting a faint aura that sent the black chicken flying out directly and heavily crashing into the stone wall.

  The big black chicken was dazed and stumbled on the ground, shaking its head, with a very human-like expression of anger on its face, and rushed towards Chu Yan again.

  "Hmm"

  Flying again ~

  Chu Yan looked at the big black chicken with a complacent expression, tearing apart and chewing on the roasted meat.

  The big black chicken was angry in its heart but had lost its temper, this time it slowly approached the mysterious water curtain, afterwards with a face full of longing, pitifully looking at Chu Yan, extremely flirtatious.

  "This guy, being tough doesn't work, so he's switching to a gentle strategy, huh?"

  Chu Yan looked at the big black chicken and thought it was funny, but suddenly Chu Yan felt his internal spiritual power trembling.

  Chu Yan hastily activated the "Mystic Heavy Water Formula"

  "This"

  At this time, the rotation speed of "Xuan Chong Shui Jue" was actually more than twice as fast as usual. Although he didn't know what the reason was, Chu Yan's heart still felt a burst of wild joy. However, the spiritual power in his body suddenly stopped trembling, and the operation speed of the technique also returned to normal.

  "Really?"

  Watching the big black chicken walk away with a disappointed face, Chu Yan was shocked in his heart. Could it be... could it be this big black chicken?

  "Hey, hey, I'm telling you, don't go, here, take this!"

  Chu Yan hastily called out to the large black chicken, tossing a piece of roasted meat outside the 'Mystic Water Curtain'. The large black chicken ran over excitedly.

  "It's indeed like this"

  As Da Hei Ji approached him, Chu Yan could clearly feel his own spiritual power trembling within.

  "Come on, don't be afraid, just eat beside me, I'll give you everything."

  Chu Yan dispersed the 'Xuan Shui Zhao' and said to the big black chicken, the big black chicken seemed to understand Chu Yan's words, very willfully nodded, and then sat down beside Chu Yan with a thud. The two chicken wings hugged a large piece of roasted meat and started pecking at it.

  Chu Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and hastily sat down cross-legged to start circulating the "Xuan Zhong Shui Jue".

  The next day!

  Outside the small hut, pale blue light spots continued to gather and come, while inside the small hut was even more filled with light spots.

  Suddenly all the pale blue light spots pierced into Chu Yan's occipital bone.

  "Hoo-ha-ha!"

  Chu Yan let out a mouthful of turbid air and his tightly closed eyes snapped open as he burst into a shapeless laughter.

  Feeling the five strands of pale blue spiritual energy floating in his dantian, Chu Yan never thought that the first major bottleneck of the Qi Refining stage would be broken so easily by himself. He had already broken through to the fifth layer of the Qi Refining stage and officially entered the middle stage of Qi Refining, finally able to control his magic weapon.

  Big black chicken, big black chicken, thanks to the big black chicken, huh? Where's the big black chicken?! Chu Yan took a look and suddenly broke out in cold sweat. It turned out that the big black chicken was lying asleep between his legs, with its head pointing directly at his crotch.

  Chu Yan sat on his haunches, and a big black chicken dared to use its two legs as a nest.

  "Oh oh oh~"

  Suddenly the big black chicken lifted its proud head and started crowing, Chu Yan only felt a chill in his crotch and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat again.

  PS: The big black chicken looked at everyone pitifully: "Friends, give me some collection, haha!"

  Q: Where did Chu Yan meet Hei Niu?

  In front of the wooden house
