Cultivating Immortality, One Wish a Day - Chapter 11 - The Fat Sheep

“Swish!”

In the courtyard, Chen Fan’s toes tapped, and he went from still to moving, a few steps away.

“I’ve finally grasped the basics!”

Chen Fan looked excited.

In these past few days, he realized the difficulty of practicing the Light Shadow Skywalk technique. His cultivation was only at the Qi Manipulation Realm.

With his current cultivation, practicing the Light Shadow Skywalk required continuous sessions. After five or six practices, the inner energy in his Dantian would be completely depleted.

Fortunately, he had the support of Triple Essence Pills, allowing for a quick recovery of inner energy. In just a few days, he managed to grasp the basics of this martial art.

“With the Light Shadow Skywalk, I finally have an extra card up my sleeve.”

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this, he only had a common Purple Extreme Sword Art at his disposal, making him mediocre among peers.

But with the Light Shadow Skywalk, everything changed.

“Besides, I don’t know how many people can withstand my strength.”

Chen Fan walked to a giant rock in the yard.

Looking at the rock, he suddenly struck it with his palm.

“Boom!”

The next second, accompanied by a loud noise, the giant rock in front of him shattered into several pieces, scattering on the ground.

Chen Fan had never practiced external martial arts before, but as his martial aptitude improved day by day, the strength within his body also grew.

It was as if he had innate divine power.

“Continue practicing!”

After testing his strength, Chen Fan swallowed a Triple Essence Pill and performed the Light Shadow Skywalk, continuing his cultivation.

In this world, martial arts are divided into four realms: Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, and Perfection.

Next on his agenda was to elevate the Light Shadow Skywalk to the Minor Achievement realm.

“After mastering the Entry-level of Light Shadow Skywalk, I can perform it continuously for five or six minutes without any issues. It’s not like before when, without mastering it, practicing it five or six times would deplete all the inner energy in my Dantian.”

“When I bring this martial art to the Minor Achievement realm, I estimate that the utilization of inner energy will be even higher. By then, facing a Condensation Realm martial artist, I should be able to hold my own.”

Chen Fan’s eyes gleamed.

However, only he dared to think this way.

If it were another martial artist, even with the support of Triple Essence Pills, it would probably take several years to advance from the Entry level to the Minor Achievement level of the Light Shadow Skywalk.

But Chen Fan was different.

His martial aptitude was too strong.

The influence of powerful martial aptitude wasn’t just on the speed of his progress in cultivation. When practicing martial arts, his speed was many times that of other martial artists.

It was precisely because of this that he managed to master the Light Shadow Skywalk at the Entry level in just a few days.

If it were another martial artist, even with Triple Essence Pills in hand, it would take a month or even longer to achieve the same.

As time passed, Chen Fan’s insights into the Light Shadow Skywalk were visibly improving at an astonishing rate.

“Gu Feng, your time of death has come!”

One day, after finishing his cultivation, Chen Fan was about to sleep when he heard shouts and killings from outside.

Then, accompanied by a loud bang, he heard the sound of his courtyard wall collapsing.

He was startled, quickly got up, and grabbed the sword beside him.

However, after waiting for a while, he heard the shouts from outside gradually fading away.

“Such formidable strength!”

The next day, Chen Fan looked at the courtyard wall that had suffered unwarranted disaster and took a deep breath.

The courtyard wall felt as if it had been smashed down by someone’s palm from a distance.

The ones capable of doing this were undoubtedly those Transcendent Realm martial artists standing at the pinnacle of White Stone City.

“Zhang Yi, go out and inquire about what happened.”

While instructing people to rebuild the wall, Chen Fan sent Zhang Yi out.

Soon after, Zhang Yi hurried back, “Sir, the situation has been investigated. Last night, the Red Blood Gang and the Black Tiger Gang had a major battle. The deputy gang leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Gu Feng, was killed.”

“Our courtyard wall should have been damaged during the pursuit of Gu Feng by the Red Blood Gang.”

“They caused such a big uproar?”

Chen Fan was surprised.

Both the Black Tiger Gang and the Red Blood Gang had been influential forces in White Stone City for decades, and they had always had conflicts. However, there had never been a case of someone of the rank of a deputy gang leader being killed before.

“I hope the conflict between the two gangs won’t affect my cultivation in seclusion.”

Chen Fan shook his head.

He could only consider himself unlucky.

What did it matter if the courtyard wall was damaged?

Even if he were killed, there was nowhere to seek justice in these times.

During this period, the Lord of White Stone City completely acted like a turtle with its head pulled in.

He ignored all the struggles in the city’s martial world.

Even the martial arts organization specifically dealing with martial incidents in the Great Qian Dynasty seemed to be facing issues.

“In probably just a few days, I’ll be able to advance the Light Shadow Skywalk to the Minor Achievement realm.”

Chen Fan instructed Zhang Yi and others to pay more attention to the outside movements and immersed himself in cultivation.

“Once the Light Shadow Skywalk advances, my strength will rise again.”

“After that, within a month at most, I should be able to compress my inner energy and step into the Condensation Realm.”

Chen Fan had clear goals.

The commotions outside were just trivial matters to him.

“Only by improving one’s own strength is the most important.”

“Innkeeper, the same as last time, prepare the medicinal ingredients for me according to the list.”

A few days later, Zhang Yi and Zhang De, following Chen Fan’s instructions, arrived at a well-known old pharmacy in White Stone City with a list of medicinal ingredients.

During this period, the medicinal ingredients used by Chen Fan to refine Triple Essence Pills were purchased by Zhang Yi and Zhang De from various pharmacies in the city.

As for Chen Fan himself, he rarely went out.

White Stone City was too chaotic.

Since the death of the deputy leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Gu Feng, the Black Tiger Gang and the Red Blood Gang had been in complete disarray.

At the same time, some small factions in White Stone City were engaged in fierce struggles for various reasons.

As for the authorities, it seemed as if they didn’t exist at all; they turned a blind eye.

So, Chen Fan always tried to avoid going out.

It was better not to go out, to avoid getting involved when the city was in turmoil.

“Alright.”

The pharmacy owner, upon seeing Zhang Yi and Zhang De, immediately smiled. Following the list, he prepared various medicinal ingredients and handed them to Zhang Yi.

“Hmm?”

At that moment, not far away, a young man saw Zhang Yi and Zhang De, along with the large pile of medicinal ingredients they bought from the pharmacy, and a glint appeared in his eyes.

“I almost forgot; this Chen person is a fat sheep!”

“Before, he didn’t lend me a few taels of silver when I asked. This time, I’ll strip him naked!”

Then, as Zhang Yi left the pharmacy, a cold light flashed in the young man’s eyes, and he followed.

Previously, like Chen Fan, he was also a disciple of the Purple Peak Martial Academy.

Since Chen Fan always had guards accompanying him whenever he went out, he didn’t dare to do anything to Chen Fan.

But now, things were different.

…

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

In the courtyard, fleeting shadows appeared.

A few minutes later, all the shadows converged into a figure.

It was Chen Fan.

“Finally succeeded!”

A joyful expression appeared on Chen Fan’s face.

After several days of cultivation, he finally brought the Light Shadow Skywalk to the Minor Achievement realm.
