Become Eternals

Spreadable Feathers

The Spirit Tail Chicken was much larger than an ordinary chicken. They had extremely strong fur and an extremely ferocious temperament. After reaching full maturity, they were comparable to the second level of Qi Condensation.

Not only was the meat edible, so were the eggs. Their blood and bones can be added to medicines, and when you burn their tails, they can create a rare three-colored flame. Because of all that, a large number of Spirit Tail Chickens were raised on all three mountains on the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect.

However, they were actually not members of the sect themselves. Instead, they were the personal property of Li Qinghou and the Peak Kings of the other two mountain peaks, who assigned certain disciples to raise and care for them. On Fragrant Cloud Peak, there were three areas devoted to breeding them.

Bai Xiaochun was crouching in the bushes looking at the Spirit Tail Chicken. Back when he was working in the Oven, he had never seen a live chicken, but had eaten its meat and knew it was delicious. Furthermore, Big Fatty Zhang had mentioned that they liked eating spirit insects.

After observing the chickens for a while, Bai Xiaochun flickered. He did nothing rashly, but instead returned down the mountain, where he spent some spirit stones to buy some spirit insects, after which he returned to his courtyard residence.

By the time he returned, he was so hungry that he had to struggle not to faint, and immediately started looking around for something to eat.

It did not take long for his gaze to be fixed on the Winter Bamboo, where his eyes began to shine. The bamboo rod was about three meters tall, and was as thick as a fist. From the spirit radiance they emitted, they looked far beyond extraordinary.

Bai Xiaochun immediately rushed over and started walking around the bamboo trunk, laughing out loud as he studied it closely. Based on what he had learned about plants and herbs, he was quickly able to identify the hardest stems among the various stems, which he cut at the base and then sliced in half.

In terms of stealing chickens, Bai Xiaochun had a very special method. The key lies in the word ‘stealing’ itself. Being able to get chicken without anyone realizing it is an art form.

He quickly used some bamboo to make an instrument called a bamboo cricket.

He had learned to make bamboo crickets from his father when he was young. Supposedly, they are effective in catching all kinds of creatures from chickens to phoenixes. After the bamboo crickets themselves finished, he used some pieces of bamboo to weave the rope. After finishing it, he tested the strength of his cable, tied it to a bamboo cicada, then flew into the darkness of the night.

“I'll eat chicken !!” His stomach grumbled, but his eyes shone with green lights. Because of how hungry he was, he moved faster than usual, and soon arrived at the Spirit Tail Chicken farm.

As he approached, he tiptoed onto the fence, placed the spirit insects onto the bamboo crickets, then threw the bamboo crickets over the fence. Next, he squatted hungrily to the side, holding the cable attached to the crickets.

Further inside the fence were several wooden cabins, where the Outer Sect disciples lived and practiced cultivation. The chicken farm was quite large, with over a hundred Spirit Tail Chickens, most of which laid eggs on the ground. Some were walking, occasionally raising their heads haughtily and looking around. After some time had passed, one of the Spirit Tail Chickens seemed to have noticed something. He turned around and saw something far away, then walked. He immediately saw a spirit insect sitting there, prompting him to peck at its beak to catch it.

However, as soon as the Rooster Tail Spirit pecked at the spirit insect, right at the critical moment, the bent bamboo piece opened, cleverly forcing the beak of the Spirit Tail Chicken open.

The Spirit Tail Chicken wanted to shout, but its beak was wide open, and it could not make any sound. Then he tried to cover his beak and crushed the bamboo, but the bamboo was too tenacious, and his efforts were in vain.

No matter how the Chicken Tail Spirit struggled, it could not peek as it quickly dragged onto the fence, then up and down, directly into Bai Xiaochun's hands. Bai Xiaochun quickly harnessed the power of fourth level Qi Condensation, sending a large amount of power into his hands, which he used to break the chicken's neck. Then he threw it in his bag. From the way he moved, it seemed like he was a veteran in this sort of thing.

This entire affair only took about thirty breaths, and most of that time was spent waiting. If it were not for that, it would have been achieved much sooner.

Bai Xiaochun was racing vigorously back to his courtyard residence, where a fragrant scent immediately filled the air. At dawn, the entire chicken was now in Bai Xiaochun's stomach.

The only thing left was fur and bones strewn about….

After eating the entire Spirit Tail Chicken, most of Bai Xiaochun's hunger was reduced. After recovering her body, she now felt quite warm and comfortable.

In fact, he even seemed to have more spiritual energy inside. However, the most noticeable change had to do with the Eternal Life Technique. Bai Xiaochun immediately started breathing in and out, for roughly eight cycles.

With each inhalation and exhalation, the throbbing warmth would spread throughout his body and then gather on his skin. That in turn causes the skin to become harder and more supple. It even flickered with a black light. However, if you take a closer look, it is as fair and clear as ever.

The wooden sword had a twofold increase in spirit, but when it touched his skin, Bai Xiaochun could feel a faint force of resistance. He stopped any testing, more convinced than ever that he needed to continue developing the Eternal Life Technique.

“According to its description, Undying Skin has four levels: gold, silver, copper, and iron. Now I'm just getting started. But if I can last for eighty-one days .. I should be able to develop Eternal Iron Skin. ” Bai Xiaochun looked around at the scattered chicken bones, and in his heart, he now realized what the key was to successfully cultivate the Everlasting Iron Skin.

“Thank God, there are many Spirit Tail Chickens on the mountain,” he thought while laughing out loud. He was now more interested in the Spirit Tail Chicken than before.

What he did not know was that in the past 10,000 years in the Spirit Stream Sect, very few people had ever developed the Immortal Life Technique. Most who do so end up stopping during the terrible ordeal that took place in the first eighty-one days. Although some manage to continue, the main problem after that is how much it costs to continue.

To cultivate the technique all the way to the Eternal Golden Skin stage, the expenditure involved was simply frightening. Even the entire sect would have trouble paying so much. After all, those resources can be used for other techniques that are not too wasteful. Although those other techniques were not that great, a sect had to consider what was most cost-effective.

That was the main reason why the Eternal Life Technique ended up gathering dust in the Sacred Scripture Pavilion.

After practicing cultivation for a while, Bai Xiaochun collected chicken bones and buried them in the nearby spirit land, along with his fur.

Then he left his courtyard residence and found a place where Outer Sect disciples tended to gather, where he eavesdropped a little to see if anyone was talking about the stolen chicken. Based on his experience stealing chickens in his village, he knew that the most optimal way was to attack only once in a few days.

After eavesdropping for a while, he did not hear anyone mention about the missing chicken. However, during the eavesdropping, he also learned that the three-colored tail feathers of the Spirit Tail Chicken could be used to ignite a three-colored flame.

Upon learning of this, Bai Xiaochun immediately ran back to his courtyard residence and dug out the three-colored tail feathers from the spirit ground. Then he sat there, studying it seriously.

“No wonder they keep so many Spirit Tail Chickens here.” He immediately kept the three-colored fur in his handbag. For others, such feathers are nothing more than lighting a three-colored flame. To him, they were the fuel to perform three spirit enhancements.

He did not try to do it immediately. The plan was to obtain some spirit medicines first, then do some spirit enhancement to make the medicine stronger.

After resting for a few days, one night Bai Xiaochun started to get hungry again. He put down the plants and plants of the second volume and went into the darkness of the night. When he returned, he had two more Spirit Tail Chickens in his bag.

And that's how time passes. Soon, a month had passed, during that time, news of the missing Spirit Tail Chicken began to spread on Fragrant Cloud Peak.

Even Li Qinghou heard about the matter. After all, in just a month, several dozen chickens had disappeared from the three Spirit Tail Chicken farms. However, Li Qinghou did not pay much attention to this matter, as he had important matters to deal with that ended up taking him down from the mountain.

The most depressed of all were the seven or eight Outer Sect disciples responsible for raising the Spirit Tail Chicken. Not because they care so much about the chickens themselves, but because the chickens did not belong to them in the first place. Although the Peak Master did not say anything, they felt that the matter was extremely detrimental. After all, whoever stole the chicken did so right in front of their nose.

However, there was nothing they could do. No matter what they did to try to protect the chickens, the chickens kept on disappearing. The most confusing of all is that the chickens disappeared without a trace. Not even a sound could be heard, as if they had vanished in the air.

Now, Bai Xiaochun's body was now completely back to normal, and in fact, he had even gained a little weight. No matter how much the Undying Live Forever Technique was sucked out of him, he would fill it with chicken meat. His face was blushing healthy, and he once again lived a comfortable life.

He was in an incredible mood, and his stomach was full. As a result, his research on plants and vegetation of the second volume increased rapidly. Finally, the day came when he finished studying. Based on what happened last time, he had studied everything in more detail, including the leaves, stems, roots, veins, and even the tiny hairs on the surface of the plant. He was now more confident than ever, and was convinced that even though the plant was split into dozens of parts, he could still identify it.

Chest raised proudly, he stepped out of his courtyard residence.

“This time, I will make sure everyone knows that I am Lord Turtle passing by Zhou Xinqi!” Filled with anticipation, he headed straight for the 10,000 Medicines Pavilion.
