Chapter 26 Method of Tracking

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Method of Tracking"Whoosh!" Before Lin Zhengyue could react, Ling Chen moved swiftly beneath his feet, rapidly fleeing towards the distance using a movement technique. This movement technique was known as White Crane Blue Sky Technique, a superior grade Body Technique Spirit Art! It was the very technique he had learned before setting out from the Spirit Pavilion, intended as a life-saving trump card! Now, it came in handy exactly when needed. Even though he had broken through to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage and his Spiritual Power was comparable to someone at the seventh level, he still stood no chance against a cultivator at the eighth level. Thus, he wisely chose to flee. As Ling Chen almost instantly vanished from sight, Lin Zhengyue and Lin Zhengshan exclaimed in unison, "A superior grade movement Spirit Art?" Such speed surpassed that of a medium grade movement Spirit Art; only a superior grade one could achieve this. Both of them were at the early stages of the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage and had learned superior grade Spirit Arts at the seventh level. However, superior grade Body Technique Spirit Arts were too difficult to master, and to this day, neither of them had succeeded, with only a superior grade Attack Spiritual Technique in their repertoire. "What?" Lin Zhengyu was also stunned. A cultivator at the sixth level had mastered a superior grade Spirit Art, and it was the most challenging type to cultivate - a Body Technique Spirit Art? "Do you think you can escape?" Lin Zhengyue and Lin Zhengshan didn’t immediately give chase. In front of them, he was not fearful in the face of danger as he broke through, and he had even mastered a superior Body Technique Spirit Art; his talent was nothing short of terrifying. If this person were to grow stronger, it would spell disaster for the Lin Family! At this moment, they could not afford to be negligent and were determined to kill Ling Chen. Although Ling Chen possessed a superior grade movement Spirit Art, he could not maintain its use indefinitely. Moreover, they had a means to pinpoint Ling Chen’s location, so they decided to let him deplete his Spiritual Power first. ...

Ling Chen had cast the White Crane Blue Sky Technique eight times in succession, consuming almost half of his Spiritual Power! However, he finally managed to shake off the pursuers from the Lin Family. Then, he changed directions seven times in rapid succession, desperately fleeing for his life. He was up against two cultivators at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation stage or even higher! He was no match for them now, unless he could break through to the seventh level. However, his supply of Spirit Revitalizing Pills was nearly depleted, and even with his special physique, it was a case of a skilled woman being unable to cook without rice! "Right, I don’t have Elixirs, but I do have Spiritual Medicine!" In recent days, Ling Chen had killed more than a dozen mid-level spirit beasts. Some were slain in their lairs, which also yielded some Spiritual Medicine. Elixirs are just various Spiritual Medicines fused together by the hands of an Alchemist. Essentially, it’s still nature’s Spiritual Energy. Thus, consuming Elixirs and Spiritual Medicine should produce similar effects. Now facing the pursuit of two suspected Qi Condensation stage eighth level cultivators, he couldn’t care less about the side effects of Spiritual Medicine; surviving was the utmost priority. With this thought, Ling Chen turned his pack over and took out all the Spiritual Medicine he had. To increase his speed, he threw away all items like the spirit beasts’ pelts and claws; after all, money could be earned again, but one only has one life. He had a total of forty-three stalks of Spiritual Medicine. Without a second thought, while on the run, he grabbed a stalk of Spiritual Medicine and stuffed it into his mouth. As the Spiritual Medicine was consumed, the nature’s Spiritual Energy within was quickly released inside Ling Chen’s body, and his special physique refined it into Spiritual Power, replenishing the draining energy within his Nebula Qi Cluster. After consuming three stalks of Spiritual Medicine, his Spiritual Power was fully restored. Since Spiritual Medicine grows by absorbing nature’s Spiritual Energy, it is extremely rich in content. It must be said, the taste of Spiritual Medicine is truly ordinary. Some are even hard to swallow. But at this moment, Ling Chen didn’t care about the taste, swallowing one stalk after another. As the substantial Spiritual Power gathered, the Nebula Qi Cluster in Ling Chen’s Dantian continued to grow. Once all forty-three stalks of Spiritual Medicine were consumed, the Spiritual Power inside Ling Chen reached a terrifying level, the Nebula Qi Cluster expanding quickly, and his cultivation level continuously rising. Mid-sixth level! Late-sixth level! "Hum!" Ling Chen’s body shook, and the Nebula Qi Cluster within doubled in size again. "Qi Condensation Stage, Seventh Layer, Early Phase!" Ling Chen was filled with indescribable excitement. At the Seventh Layer’s early phase, his Spiritual Power should be comparable to the Eighth Layer’s early phase! With such Spiritual Power, even if those two Qi Condensation Stage Eighth Layer Cultivators were to pursue him, he could retreat with ease. He looked up at the sky, noticing that nightfall was fast approaching. At night, he would be like a fish in water. Moreover, he could completely rely on nature’s spiritual energy to further enhance his cultivation. Ling Chen recalled that the aura of those two Qi Condensation Stage Eighth Layer Cultivators seemed not much different from his current state, which meant they were at the early phase of the Eighth Layer. "If you do not come after me, all is well. If you do, I will surely make you pay the price." Ling Chen snorted coldly. The fur and claws of the spirit beast could be discarded, for he could hunt once more. Now, he should be able to hunt down Eighth Order spirit beasts, and the ones before appeared insignificant in comparison. To go back for those things would be a waste of time. One Eighth Order spirit beast is worth nearly ten thousand Gold Coins, and he could reap far greater rewards by hunting several more, surpassing what he had lost. Subsequently, Ling Chen no longer continued to flee. Instead, he leapt onto a large tree and began cultivating. Having broken through two phases in one day, there was a risk of undermining his foundation, so he had to properly condense his Spiritual Power. He also needed to familiarize himself with the Spiritual Power comparable to the Eighth Layer! After cultivating for an hour, Ling Chen realized that although both breakthroughs were achieved with external aids, his Spiritual Power was exceptionally condensed, eliminating the need for stabilization. Thus, he practiced his Spirit Art, thoroughly mastering the Spiritual Power of the Qi Condensation Stage Seventh Layer’s early phase. Just then, three figures swiftly approached from the distance. "Ling Chen, we’ve finally found you!" It was Lin Zhengyue’s voice. Ling Chen focused on Lin Zhengyue, clearly sensing that the latter was at the early phase of the Qi Condensation Stage Eighth Layer. He smiled slightly and said, "I’m curious, how did you locate me?" Lin Zhengyue was slightly startled; he hadn’t expected the person who’d fled in such a sorry state before him to not only not run away this time but even dare to question him. "Boy, no matter how you flee, you can’t escape the palm of our hands!" Lin Zhengyue laughed. As long as Lin Zhengyu’s map was on Ling Chen, they could pinpoint Ling Chen’s location. "Is that so?" Ling Chen smiled faintly, figuring it out. They must have located him based on something he carried on his person. He glanced at Lin Zhengyu and saw that Lin Zhengyue and the other person were constantly with him, gaining some understanding. It must be something of Lin Zhengyu’s. He had consumed the Spirit Revitalizing Pills and Spiritual Medicines already; the only possibility left was that map! "Is it the map?" Ling Chen flipped his hand and took out the map. Now, the map was of little use to him. Lin Zhengyu’s map merely marked the activity range of mid-grade spirit beasts. Now that he was aiming to hunt high-order spirit beasts, this map naturally became redundant. Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengyue and Lin Zhengshan’s expressions shifted slightly. This Ling Chen was not only incredibly talented but extraordinarily astute! Their small gestures did not escape Ling Chen’s eyes. Ling Chen loosened his grip, and the map fell to the ground. Seeing this, Lin Zhengyue and Lin Zhengshan’s inner Spiritual Power began to circulate lightly, ready to act at any moment. This time, they could not let Ling Chen slip away. Otherwise, finding Ling Chen again would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
