Really Want to Eat Chicken

Chapter 12: Really Want to Eat Chicken

An Bulang no longer hesitated, circulating his cultivation technique to absorb the energy from the Spirit Stones.

Each Spirit Stone was a rectangular crystal, one inch wide and high, and three inches long. It could be easily held in the palm, its interior containing liquefied spiritual energy.

The Spirit Stone in An Bulang's palm erupted with a brilliant green light, and pure spiritual power surged into his body through his palm.

His blood began to boil, his bones began to tremble, and his meridians pulsed with excitement.

After favoring the twelfth Spirit Stone, An Bulang heard a "crack" as he broke through a certain bottleneck. His aura completely changed, and he successfully advanced to the fourth level of the Mystic Body!

An extremely vast aura erupted, and the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into a vortex, surging towards An Bulang at the center.

An Bulang hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique, the Seal God Art!

This was his core cultivation technique. Its name was powerful, and its effect was even more so.

It had only one function: to seal his own power.

Heaven and earth could not tolerate someone as formidable as him, so he could only use this method to seal ninety-nine percent of his power in a certain place within his consciousness, deceiving heaven and earth, and honestly re-walking the path of cultivation.

This way, when he ascended to immortality, he could achieve earth-shattering results. No matter how much heaven and earth could not tolerate him, he could rely on unlocking that hidden seal to instantly unleash unimaginable power and forcefully carve out a path.

"Sigh... Others are desperately increasing their strength, while I have to desperately suppress my strength..."

An Bulang shook his head and circulated the Seal God Art, absorbing his own power. Only when his strength stabilized at the level of an ordinary Mystic Body fourth level did he continue to absorb the energy from the remaining Spirit Stones.

Before long, all thirty-six Spirit Stones were absorbed by him.

His cultivation also successfully advanced to the fifth level of the Mystic Body.

An Bulang, bathed in spring sunshine, was beaming. The thirty-six Spirit Stones he had favored all night lay by the bedside, dim and lusterless, looking utterly miserable.

An Bulang swatted the used Spirit Stones into dust with his palm, destroying the evidence.

After reaching the fifth level of the Mystic Body, his physical strength, vitality, and the resilience of his meridians had all increased significantly. He finally had a bit more confidence when facing enemies at the Heavenly Origin level.

He pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

The faint starlight was about to disappear, and the yellow-white morning glow in the east was growing brighter.

Unknowingly, a night had already passed...

"Cluck cluck..."

"Cluck...!"

The sound of a chicken crowing came from Prince De's Estate.

The crowing was vigorous, heroic, and clear, making one feel refreshed.

An Bulang was a little surprised. He heard something unusual in the crowing.

An Bulang hesitated for a moment, then moved his feet and walked in the direction of the crowing.

The Prince De's Estate had a small hill in the backyard, and the crowing was coming from there.

An Bulang walked through a small grove, stepping on the overgrown grass as he went uphill. Soon, he saw a proud and majestic rooster standing at the summit of the hill, its head held high, chest puffed out, and its golden beak open: "Cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck!!"

He also saw a somewhat unexpected person. A figure in red fluttered gracefully, sitting upright on a rock, facing the rising sun, eyes closed, cultivating. A faint golden hue cast a glow on her delicate face, which was as flawless as white jade, making her look radiant and charming.

"Sister Hongxue, you're so diligent?" An Bulang greeted her proactively.

Ji Hongxue opened her eyes and, upon seeing the person who had arrived, her face lit up with joy. "I've been cultivating and breathing here all night. I originally wanted to call you, but..." The woman suddenly paused, a blush rising to her cheeks.

An Bulang thought to himself that it was fortunate she hadn't called him, otherwise she would have been terrified by the sight of him draining Spirit Stones.

"What, you're too embarrassed to call me?" An Bulang chuckled. "Do our relationships still require such considerations? We're people who have spent a few wonderful nights together..."

Ji Hongxue, who was already feeling a bit shy, became furious upon hearing this: "An! Bu! Lang! You're teasing me again, you scoundrel!!"

An Bulang was right. In the past few nights, everyone had indeed meditated and cultivated together while traveling, but when An Bulang said these things, they completely changed their meaning...

Saying this, the princess stopped cultivating and stood up, ready to hit him.

But suddenly, her expression changed: "You, you, you... you're already at the fifth level of the Mystic Body?!"

The princess was quite startled, and her speech became stammered.

"Yes, I'm at the fifth level of the Mystic Body." An Bulang couldn't be bothered to hide it; it wasn't a big deal anyway.

Ji Hongxue's red lips parted slightly, her eyes wide open, constantly staring at An Bulang as if he were a monster.

Alright, the conversation couldn't continue like this.

Fortunately, An Bulang was already quite monstrous, and Ji Hongxue eventually accepted the fact that he could advance two levels in one night.

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to come here?" Ji Hongxue asked again.

An Bulang pointed to the proud, chest-puffed rooster not far away, constantly singing: "I was attracted by its wonderful singing. I never expected that Prince De's Estate would have such an interesting rooster."

Ji Hongxue felt something was off about his words, but she didn't think too deeply. Instead, she shook her head and replied, "Prince De's Estate can't afford to keep it. According to my brother, this rooster flew here from somewhere else. For some reason, it took a liking to this place and made its home here... My brother was eager to catch it at the time, but he didn't expect to be defeated by a rooster..."

"Later, he called the cultivation experts in the estate to capture it together, but they were all beaten by this rooster..."

"Fortunately, the rooster had no malicious intent towards them. It just stood on the hill and crowed. My second brother let it be. Now, this rooster is almost considered the guardian beast of Prince De's Estate."

As she spoke, Ji Hongxue found it amusing. A rooster being a guardian beast was quite a rare occurrence.

An Bulang gazed at the rooster not far away. It stood as tall as a person, its golden feathers shimmering in the morning sun. Its deep blue tail feathers cascaded like an icy waterfall, and the fiery red comb on its head was striking. Even its appearance alone was extraordinary.

The rooster cast a proud, disdainful glance at An Bulang, as if looking down on some lowly creature. Then, it continued its song atop the hill: "Cock-a-doodle-doo... Cock-a-doodle-doo..."

Seeing An Bulang's eager expression, Ji Hongxue asked, "Do you want to communicate with it?"

An Bulang swallowed. "No, I want to eat it."

Ji Hongxue: "???"

The rooster: "Cluck?"
