Holy Crap, I Struck Gold!

On the square, two young disciples were engaged in a fierce duel.

The young disciple from the Golden Thunder Sect was wreathed in lightning, like a Thunder God descended to the world. His steps were light, seemingly casual taps on the ground, but each step concealed exquisite footwork.

Several slender, silk-like golden arcs of electricity coiled in his palm, like nimble little snakes, constantly shooting towards his opponent at strange angles.

The disciple from the Azure Flame Dao Palace on the opposite side was not to be outdone. His body was enveloped in crimson flames, burning fiercely like a blazing sun.

His Spirit Energy circulated wildly, and the flames quickly condensed into a shield of fire in front of him. The arcs of electricity struck the shield, immediately splashing out brilliant sparks.

Zhou Qing watched very seriously. For him, this was a rare opportunity to learn combat techniques and also gain some understanding of the other major sects in the vicinity.

[Ignorance Points +1]

Zhou Qing was engrossed in watching when the system's notification sound suddenly rang out.

This made him momentarily stunned, then immediately ecstatic.

He hadn't expected it could be like this.

Well, wasn't this a tense and exciting multiplayer environment now? Plus, his innate skill [Reduce Presence] had already risen to LV2 (51/100).

This made it 50% likely for Foundation Establishment Realm disciples to ignore him, so gaining Ignorance Points was perfectly normal.

"Stop eating, lest you draw attention to me!"

Seeing the Old Hen shaking its head and about to peck at someone's heel, Zhou Qing quickly squatted down and picked it up.

The battle continued, and the resulting power caused the surrounding crowd to retreat further and further.

Soon after, the disciple from the Azure Flame Dao Palace was defeated, and the people from the Golden Thunder Sect cheered.

"Sun Hefen of the Azure Flame Dao Palace, here to challenge Senior Brother Cheng!"

"What, when did the Azure Flame Dao Palace learn to use relay tactics? My Junior Brother Cheng is already exhausted. Let me, Xu Keling, spar with Brother Sun."

Following this, the two fought fiercely again.

At this moment, Zhou Qing wished they could fight for a while longer.

"Is this prearranged?" Zhou Qing soon noticed that among the onlookers, many of the chief Eldest Brothers or Senior Sisters from the Thirteen Peaks of the Taiqing Sect were present. Some were frowning, while others were rubbing their fists, eager to try.

It seemed that for a long time to come, he would be able to farm Ignorance Points.

It wasn't until dusk that both sides called it a draw.

Each sect sent out five people, and the matches were basically even. This clearly showed how remarkable the younger generation of the five great sects was.

When he returned home in the evening, Zhou Qing tied the old hen to the side, threw it some grain, and then started heating water for a bath.

The Crimson Flame Dragon Lion bone from tonight was almost completely consumed, but at the same time, his Silver Dragon Hand was about to reach minor completion.

An entire night passed. When Zhou Qing emerged from the bathtub and entered the courtyard, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. After taking a deep breath, the Spirit Energy within his body surged wildly like a tide.

He saw his hands slowly rise and begin to move rapidly in front of him, forming complex and profound hand seals one after another.

As the hand seals continuously changed, his hands gradually became enveloped in a layer of silver light. The light grew brighter and brighter, as if it were woven from countless fine silver threads.

A moment later, a Silver Dragon condensed from pure Spirit Energy slowly took shape between his hands.

The Silver Dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, lifelike, its scales even shimmering with a cold and dazzling light under the sun.

Zhou Qing's expression suddenly turned serious. He immediately soared into the air, let out a fierce roar, and pushed his hands forward with all his might.

The Silver Dragon roared, and wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Boom!

When it struck the mountainside, there was first a moment of silence that made one's teeth ache, followed by an earth-shattering roar.

The immense impact instantly blasted the rocks and soil on the mountainside, sending them flying everywhere. Dust rose into the sky like rolling thick smoke.

But what followed was the feeling of his Spirit Energy being completely drained. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his body swayed slightly, forcing him to quickly descend from the air.

"This Silver Dragon Hand is far more powerful than I imagined. Right now, I've only condensed a Silver Dragon about three meters long, which is considered minor completion, but it almost depleted my Spirit Energy. It seems I should avoid using it unless absolutely necessary in the future."

But soon, he became happy.

He had witnessed the power just now. If he went all out, he should be able to use it twice. This could be a trump card in the future.

"Grand Elder Duanmu Shu probably didn't expect me to cultivate this divine ability to minor completion so quickly."

Zhou Qing felt a surge of pride. At this moment, he felt somewhat grateful to his Second Uncle.

"I still need to quickly improve my strength. That way, even if I'm forced to use it, I won't be as depleted as I am now. Also, bones containing dragon blood and the like... after this experiment, this seems like a good cultivation path."

Zhou Qing immediately had a direction for his next steps.

But when he turned around, he was startled.

In the courtyard, the old hen was trembling uncontrollably, its crossed eyes twitching up and down. All its feathers seemed to have been greatly stimulated, standing on end, almost ready to explode.

"Was it scared by the noise just now?" Zhou Qing was helpless, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Just as he was about to go inside and find a place to use Spirit Stones to recover his Spirit Energy, the old hen's entire body suddenly contracted.

Immediately after, a round egg dropped down. The old hen then let out a series of "cluck, cluck, cluck" sounds.

After that, it ignored him and started pecking at a nearby pillar.

Zhou Qing, however, stood frozen in place. After a moment, he came to his senses as if waking from a dream and quickly ran over, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Because on that egg, there were wisps of Spirit Energy like threadsentwine and flowing, as if the surrounding space had been infused with a lively aura, becoming softer.

As Zhou Qing carefully picked it up, it was still warm.

"Spirit Stone? No, Spirit Egg!"

Zhou Qing could clearly feel that the spirituality carried by this egg was comparable to seven or eight Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

No, it should be said that the Spirit Energy contained in it was even purer than that of the same number of Spirit Stones, almost without impurities.

Its purity was almost comparable to the Spirit Hidden Worm and Ice Soul Dark Scale Fish that Zhou Qing had refined back then.

"It can actually remove the mottled impurities in Spirit Energy!!!"

Zhou Qing's eyes instantly became extremely hot, his gaze fixed tightly on the Old Hen pecking at the wood nearby, his heart filled with disbelief.

The stall owner had definitely misjudged, and he had clearly picked up a huge bargain.

How could this be an ordinary chicken? This was clearly a rare and supreme Spirit Chicken in the world!

Chicken, you are too beautiful!

Chicken, you are truly too beautiful!

Zhou Qing's face immediately filled with a fawning smile. He quickly went over, scattered some grain on the ground, and then carefully straightened the Old Hen's head. The Old Hen then clucked and pecked at the grain.

The more Zhou Qing looked, the more he liked it. It clearly looked like a native chicken, he really didn't know what breed it was?

How did it end up in a Farming Family?
