Chapter 2: Forest Brawl

  The night was very quiet at the Xiping Horse Ranch, with several thatched cottages in the west. At this time, a figure wearing a black long gown sat on the roof of one of the cottages, motionless like an old monk meditating.

  His two hands clasped together, drawing a strange gesture, the pores all opened and released a weak suction force, and the heavenly soul power was absorbed into the meridians through the pores.

  The soul force is moving in the meridians, and Yi Chen compresses and refines the mixed soul force, removing the impurities contained within, before guiding the soul force to the dantian and injecting it into the floating beast soul.

  After about half an hour of continuous cultivation, Yi Chen felt that the soul power that the beast soul could hold had reached its limit, and he pinched off the technique, placing his hands flat on his knees.

  "One product soul technique. At this rate of cultivation, I don't know when I'll be able to advance to the high rank of Yin Soul Realm." Slowly opening his eyes, Yi Chen let out a helpless sigh.

  Soul cultivators possessing a beast soul is far from enough, they also need a special technique - Soul Technique. Using the Soul Technique to stimulate the beast soul, only then can they absorb the soul energy between heaven and earth.

  The higher the level of soul technique, the faster it absorbs soul power. The ranking of soul techniques is based on how fast they absorb soul power. There are nine ranks in total: first rank being the worst and ninth rank being the best.

  The level of soul technique determines the speed at which a soul cultivator cultivates, and this is extremely important to them. A high-level soul technique can shorten the time it takes to cultivate, achieve twice the result with half the effort, and narrow the gap with other powerful individuals.

  However, the higher the rank of the soul technique, the rarer it is. Most are in the hands of large families, and ordinary cultivators can only cultivate low-ranking soul techniques.

  Yi Jia also has many high-level soul techniques, but novice soul cultivators can't directly cultivate high-level techniques, so they need to choose some low-grade techniques to cultivate and consolidate their foundation.

  Yi Chen had only learned the Consolidation Cultivation soul technique and hadn't even had a chance to learn high-grade soul techniques before being exiled to Xiping Horse Ranch, which meant he had been cultivating with first-grade soul techniques all along.

  If outsiders were to know, they would be shocked speechless, because Yi Chen's beast soul was only at the first level, and his cultivation speed was several times slower than others.

  Moreover, the cultivation technique he practiced was only a first-grade soul technique. The fact that he could rely on this to advance from elementary to intermediate in just half a year's time could only be said that his innate talent for cultivation was too terrifying.

  However, Yi Chen, who rarely came into contact with other soul cultivators, did not know about this matter. At this time, he was worried about his soul technique.

  "With a cultivation speed like this, it's already pretty good if he can keep up with others and not be left further and further behind."

  According to Yi Chen's current situation, wanting to discuss high-quality soul techniques is simply too easy, and he furrowed his brow.

  "It seems that we need to think of a way to get some higher-level soul techniques." With a slight shake of his head, Yi Chen stood up and prepared to return to his room.

  "Boom." Suddenly, just as he was about to dive down, an explosion sounded from the west.

  "There is a fight between cultivators in the Auspicious Cloud Forest." Yi Chen was attracted by the explosion sound and turned his head to look towards the west.

  To the west lies the Ausi Forest, not far from the Western Plains. It is home to many ferocious beasts and is a perilous place.

  At first, Yi Chen was driven by curiosity and wanted to explore the Ausis Forest. As a result, he encountered several level-one magical beasts just at the outer periphery. The magical beasts on the outskirts were relatively weak, which also implied that there were even stronger magical beasts in the central area.

  And a first-class demon had the power of the Yin Soul Realm, which was also an extremely powerful existence in Yi Chen's eyes. He didn't dare to play with his own life, and since then he has never entered the Auspicious Forest again.

  "Xiping Horse Farm is very remote, usually without strong practitioners coming and going. Who was fighting over there? Why not go take a look?"

  Having come to this world, Yi Chen had yet to see a strong person fight, so he was very eager to take a look with his own eyes at just how strong the strong people of this world were.

  "Hiss." Yi Chen was a man of action. With this idea in mind, he directly mobilized his spiritual power and darted towards the Auspicious Forest like a hunting leopard.

  Half a moment later, Yi Chen arrived at the outskirts of the Ausen Forest. A cold gust of wind blew out from the forest, and Yi Chen shivered. He stopped in his tracks and gazed into the dark and mysterious depths of the forest.

  At this time, the fighting sounds in the forest suddenly stopped, which made Yi Chen wonder: "Have the people who were fighting decided on a winner?"

  "Psst." At this time, a strange noise came from the forest. This was not an ordinary sound, but something was quickly approaching in this direction.

  "Whoosh." A figure darted out of the forest, his appearance unclear. Judging from the shadow, he was a normal human being, but he seemed to be injured.

  At the same moment he appeared, Yi Chen felt a heavy and oppressive aura descend upon him, making it hard for him to breathe.

  "What a strong aura, even stronger than what Grandfather and the others emitted." Yi Chen's face revealed a look of shock and caution as he stared at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

  It seemed as if he sensed the hostility emanating from Yi Chen, and the figure turned its head towards him. In that instant, Yi Chen felt as though he had been seen through, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

  However, he seemed to have no hostility and quickly withdrew his gaze. Later, under Yichen's watchful eyes, he slipped into the night without looking back.

  "Good, too strong." After that figure disappeared, Yi Chen felt the pressure on his body disappear without a trace.

  Just now the opponent relied solely on his momentum, and he was unable to move. From this, it can be seen how strong the opponent is. Especially his gaze, just one glance made Yi Chen feel a chill run down his spine.

  "Hiss." At this time, the strange noise came from the forest again, and then five figures wearing black clothes jumped out of the forest, also stopping at the edge of the forest.

  They also didn't hold back their breath, and pounced on Yi Chen in an overwhelming manner, once again leaving him gasping for air. His eyes were vigilant as he stared at the five figures.

  Those five figures also discovered Yi Chen, but they only slightly sensed his aura and completely withdrew their gaze. The other party was just a small Yin Soul Realm cultivator, posing no threat to them at all.

  "The blood is still warm, it seems to be left by that old man Yin Wei." One of the men in black bent down and touched the blood on the ground, saying in a low voice.

  "Yin Wei has been sealed by our sealing technique, his cultivation is temporarily sealed. This time we must take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of him. If the task cannot be completed, the master will blame us and the consequences are unbearable." The leader of the black-clothed men said coldly.

  "Don't worry, elder, we'll follow the bloodstains and search, we'll definitely find him."

  "This time he can't escape. Chase." The leader nodded and immediately led a few people to chase forward, leaving Yi Chen with a cold sweat on his face.

  "I don't know what kind of people they are, but with such a strong aura, I'm afraid none of the strong ones in the Yi family can beat them." The pressure disappeared again, and Yi Chen recalled the feeling of falling into an ice cave just now, and said with lingering fear.

  But Yi Chen didn't think much of it and turned his head to look in the direction they were leaving, with a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.

  If I had their strength, would I still be herding horses at Xiping Horse Ranch? Would I still be afraid of not being able to return to the Yi family?

  "It seems that the first person to rush out of the forest should be the one being chased by the five men in black. And it was probably them who were fighting in the Osier Forest just now." Yi Chen said softly, clearing his mind of distractions.

  This was originally a world where the strong were respected, so Yi Chen didn't think much of it, because such things weren't rare in Longyuan Continent, so he also didn't overthink it.

  "It was a false alarm, and they didn't even get to have any fun." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Yi Chen turned back to look at the dark forest, shaking his head silently as he walked back to the horse farm.

  When he returned to Xiping Horse Farm, Yi Chen came to a thatched cottage and pushed open the door to enter.

  "Cough, cough." Just as he entered the room, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, accompanied by a violent fit of coughing.

  "Who?" The West Ping Horse Ranch had only been Yi Chen alone all along, the sudden cough made his relaxed nerves tense again, his fists clenched, and he turned to look towards the source of the cough.

  New book period is a bit difficult to stick to, collection and very important, brothers after reading, trouble point under collection.
