Chapter 55: Following Closely (Seventh Update)

  Maybe he had just killed an enemy, or maybe it was something else, anyway, Yi Chi's mood was pretty good now, and even his footsteps were much lighter.

  It took half a time to come, and when going back, it took a whole hour. Of course, now that there's no hurry, Yi Chi doesn't need to rush either.

  "Huh? Isn't that guy called Jian Nan? What is he doing here?" Yi Chi carefully hid his own figure, his eyes gazing at the fleeting shadow with suspicion.

  "Never mind, just follow him and see what happens. Maybe we'll even discover some secrets." With that, Yi Chi followed after him.

  The sword's speed was very fast, at least much faster than the water cloud, even if it were to keep up with Yi Chi's speed, it would be quite laborious.

  "It's just as well, if it were that Easy Going Sect person who came to kill me, I reckon I'd be dead by now. Dammit, still not strong enough!" Yi Chi thought with a hint of relief as he gazed at the figure ahead.

  At the same time, I was once again dissatisfied with my own strength.

  "After the auction, I must go to the Monster Forest once. Not only can I exercise my combat experience, but I can also earn energy points. Can't drag on anymore. Moreover, this time it's estimated that a pretty good amount of energy points can be earned, and some good stuff can be exchanged."

  Originally, with Yi Chi's current strength, even in the entire Xiang Tian Empire, he was a peerless genius-level figure. At just 15 years old, he had already reached one-star Dou Shi, which was an honor of the highest order. However, Yi Chi wasn't satisfied in the slightest; he wanted even greater strength because his opponents weren't his peers, and no one would hold back from killing him due to his young age. In this world, everything was determined by strength. Fortunately, Yi Chi didn't have the luxury of time to slowly grow stronger, but he had the Exchange Space, where his growth speed was absolutely astonishing.

  "I don't even know if using those elixirs to boost my strength will have any side effects. If there are, I'll just have to exchange them for something that boosts my cultivation speed instead." Yi Chi thought to himself.

  What he fears most is that taking Dan medicine will improve and produce some side effects.

  If it's because of a momentary impulse now, and causes stagnation in the future, then that would be completely not worth it.

  What he wants is the kind of promotion that has no side effects at all. After all, Yi Chi's ambition is very big, and he is not willing to be an ordinary person. Since he knows that there are gods, then he must become a god!

  "Yi Tang, if I keep taking Dan medicine to upgrade, will there be any side effects?" He asked inwardly while following.

  "Yes, there are always some side effects, but those low-grade pills don't have much of an impact. The key is the high-level ones, like the ones you saw last time that can directly raise your cultivation to the Dou Sheng level. The side effects are very strong, and it's extremely difficult to make progress afterwards. Basically, for the rest of your life, you'll be stuck at that stage." Yi Tang replied truthfully.

  "Ah! What about the 'Xiao Huan Dan' I ate?" Yi Chi asked tensely as soon as he heard.

  He would rather die than spend his whole life stuck at the level of a Dou Shi.

  "Heh heh, don't be nervous, I've already said it's a high-grade elixir. The Xiao Huan Dan you took is just a low-grade elixir that can't get any lower, the side effects are so small they can be ignored. As long as you take one every other month, there won't be any side effects at all. However, the Da Huan Dan can only be taken once every three months. The higher the grade, the longer you need to wait to avoid side effects. Of course, those high-grade goods are useless no matter how long you wait, they'll have side effects as soon as you take them, it just depends on the strength of the medicine. With your current wealth, even if you want to avoid side effects, it's impossible." Yi Tang said disdainfully.

  "Ah, I see! Well, that's a relief." Yi Chi let out a sigh of relief, but he still planned to avoid using medicinal pills to boost his abilities in the future, after all, there was still some danger involved.

  No big deal, just improve your qualifications or cultivation speed directly then.

  No more thinking about these messy things, Yi Chi asked and then followed closely, if he lost him it wouldn't be good, this time, who knows maybe he could get some useful information again.

  ......

  It's hard to believe that Yi Hang can recruit so many masters, and Yi Chi still has some doubts.

  How did these masters come together?

  Money? Not likely, a great martial artist like him can't be bought off with just a little money.

  Cultivation method? This is somewhat possible, a good cultivation method can't be bought with money, basically, if a cultivator doesn't have power or influence, then the cultivation method they practice will definitely be trash. Of course, there are also people who are born with a strong character and may obtain a good method through chance encounters. However, not everyone can encounter such chances, so it's said that those lone cultivators generally cultivate yellow-grade mid-quality methods at best, and some even cultivate methods that don't match their own body's attributes, making progress extremely slow.

  As for other possibilities, Yi Chi wasn't without thoughts on the matter. However, after some deliberation, he still thought that cultivating a powerful technique was more likely. After all, Yi Xing wasn't some young master of a major power, so where would he get good weapons and armor for his subordinates? The cultivation techniques provided by his family could still be used to buy people over, but other than that, in Yi Chi's opinion, the possibilities were extremely slim.

  ......

  Continue tracking Xian Nan, Yi Chi tried his best to hide his own breath.

  It's okay, I don't know if Jian Nan was too careless or Yi Chi's hiding skills were good, anyway, Jian Nan didn't discover Yi Chi.

  This time it's not like last time's surveillance, you know, the speed of Jian Nan's movement is extremely fast, and it's not easy for Yi Chi to keep up with him. It can be seen that the consumption of Dou Qi is also very large, so when Dou Qi is consumed, the fluctuation of Dou Qi will be very intense, just like that sword boy.

  He was perceiving the aura in the Easy Pool, and the fluctuations of Dou Qi around him were also extremely intense. In this case, how could he still talk about following others?

  However, around Yi Chi's body, there was almost no fluctuation of Dou Qi, and this had multiple reasons.

  First, Yi Chi's running uses the 'Wind God Legs'. During operation, the fire attribute of Dou Qi is converted into wind attribute and also merges with the wind elements between heaven and earth, thus achieving the function of reducing the fluctuation of Dou Qi.

  Secondly, Yi Chi's 'Wind God Leg' is a high-level martial skill of the Xuan class, and in Yi Chi's hands, it can even exert the power of a Di-class martial skill. The higher the level of this martial skill, the smaller the fluctuation when used. That's why those assassins must have cultivated high-level martial skills or special martial skills; otherwise, before you've even hurt anyone, they would have already discovered you.

  Thirdly, due to Yi Chi's 'Wind' fate, Yi Chi can control the wind elements between heaven and earth to isolate the Dou Qi fluctuations around him, thus achieving the current effect.

  Yi Chi gazed at Xian Nan in front of him with a sense of wonder, once again marveling at the wonders of the exchange space. If it weren't for it, Yi Chi would still be just a useless person who couldn't cultivate, or perhaps he wouldn't have crossed over and would have died on Earth instead.

  ......

  After chasing and running for nearly half a day, Yi Chi finally saw Jian Nan stop.

  Jian Nan stopped and looked around cautiously. Before that, Yi Chi had already hidden himself, so Jian Nan did not discover him.

  After a glance, Jian Nan cautiously moved forward in an unusual manner.

  Yi Chi frowned, watching Xiang Nan's strange movements.

  "What is he doing? Why does he keep wandering around in one place?" Yi Chi wondered.

  "In the exchange space, Yi Tang suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Formation, this is a formation.""

  "Array method? Ah, no wonder, it must be. So to speak, he's breaking the array!" Yi Chi said again after taking another look at Jian Nan's movements.

  "No," said Yi Tang, "he's just looking for a way out of the formation."

  "Well, in that case, I can only watch and see what he'll do." Yi Chi said with a gloomy face.

  He doesn't understand tactics at all, now he can only watch from here.
