Chapter Thirty-Three: The Enormous Treasure in the Cave

  One day!

  Two days!

  Half moon!

  January!

  For a whole half month, Li Chen stood on the giant boulder at the foot of the cliff, withstanding the hurricane and gazing at the direction of the wind in the clouds, continuously practicing his Storm Fist.

  In the afternoon, after the hurricane had passed, he returned to the cave and continued his research, reaching a state of exhaustion where he forgot to eat or sleep. Fortunately, there were spiritual fruits like Yunli that supplemented his physical strength, so he didn't have to worry about food either, and he even forgot his original intention to leave.

  He claimed to be practicing the Violent Wind Fist, but in reality, his skills had long surpassed the original level of the technique. He had incorporated the essence he gained from observing hurricanes and even made some inexplicable changes that not even he fully understood.

  Up until now, Li Chen has been practicing according to his memories of the "Furious Fist", but every time he strikes, it's no longer the moves from within, rather more often than not, they're unintentional variations derived from the cloud-like movements.

  On the giant rock, Li Chen was like a different person under the hurricane's attack. Although he still moved slowly, it was strange that he no longer needed to stick to the rock wall to move around.

  The figure flashes, the fist and arm bend and stretch, each move and style is extremely similar to the changes of the clouds in the sky under the impact of the hurricane.

  At this time, Li Chen had an inexplicable aura about him, as if he might collapse from exhaustion at any moment, yet his face was flushed with a seemingly endless supply of energy.

  In the meantime, as he slowly practiced, a vortex suddenly appeared on his head, which only appeared when one was cultivating.

  It's just that he can't see this aura at all.

  Wow!

  Suddenly, the originally exhausted Li Chen punched out a fist, and in the wind, he formed an inexplicable gust of wind that collided with the incoming storm, producing a clear sonic boom.

  This blast of air was so strong that it violently knocked him over and slammed him into the rock wall, and even the giant boulder with cloud pear fruit growing on it trembled several times from the dull sound.

  The whirlwind on his head suddenly dispersed, but then those condensed yuanqi suddenly surged into his head, as if those yuanqi were the ones he had cultivated.

  "Cough cough, haha, I get it!"

  The corners of his mouth overflowed with a thread of blood, but Li Chen didn't feel any pain at all as he laughed loudly. His eyes were full of an intimidating and unparalleled vigor. "Wind is formless and shapeless. If you're fixated on techniques, then your form won't be fluid and your movements won't be smooth. But again, you can't do without techniques. The changes in the clouds in this world are precisely the fist techniques!"

  Buzz!

  Just as he said this, Li Chen's entire body trembled inexplicably, even he himself did not notice it, and a fleeting mysterious glow flashed around his body.

  What astonished him was that the fatigue in his body seemed to have vanished, and what he felt even less was that there was a mysterious change on his body, as if it contained some kind of meaning.

  Reach out and grab a cloud pear fruit, pull out two green horns, and climb straight up.

  In just over half a month, climbing mountains became second nature, and before long, they arrived at the cave on the cliff top.

  Whoosh!

  A grey shadow flashed by, like a chicken's cry, the body of a large goose-like eagle chick, at an incredibly fast speed, crashed into Lichun's arms.

  "Alright, alright, stop it!"

  Li Chen stroked the young eagle, and in more than a month of getting along, they were extremely familiar with each other. The important thing was that he fed it.

  Of course, here is the flash, when it comes to feeding, the poor little eaglet was just growing up, and Li Chen forced him to eat a month's worth of Yunli fruit.

  Whoosh!

  The young eagle will no longer be lenient, it has already tasted the deliciousness of bloody food, after eating vegetarian meals for so long, how can it still be restrained?

  "With your speed, you should be able to fly now, right?"

  Li Chen was annoyed by its pecking, his eyes flashed, and a hint of a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

  Whoosh!

  As if sensing something was amiss with Li Chen, the young eagle shrank its neck, and its bright light-golden eyes were filled with uneasy movements.

  "Hehe, today you're going to practice flying!"

  Li Chen clenched his teeth, Old Li had told him when he was young that male eagles would push their eaglets out of the nest on the cliff when they grew to a certain extent, letting them practice flying.

  Otherwise, wait until they grow up and practice later, by then the wings will be unable to stretch out, and there will be no hope of flying in the blue sky for this life.

  A thought stirred in his heart, 'Evil is born on the edge of courage'. At dawn, he arrived at the entrance of the cave with a struggling young eagle in his arms, took a deep breath and silently muttered: "Don't blame me!"

  Whoosh!

  He immediately threw the young eagle out of the cave entrance.

  As if unable to bear it, Li Chen closed his eyes and turned around.

  Whoosh!

  A gentle breeze passed by, as if something flashed and disappeared. Li Chen thought it was just the wind outside the cave, but after a while, he turned around with some surprise, why didn't he hear the cry of the young eagle?

  Outside the cave, the clouds are misty and still, without any movement. Not to mention the shadow of a young eagle, even flying birds haven't been seen for over a month, not even a single feather.

  "What's this noise?"

  Li Chen's heart sank with anxiety, but his ears picked up a faint tinkling sound. Suddenly, his face changed color as he flashed into the cave, bypassing the corpses of the Golden Eagle couple and entering the inner chamber.

  All that was seen was the interior of a huge cave, behind a protruding rock, under its cover, there was an inconspicuous small cave, and the crisp sound came from inside.

  "Do you think I won't be able to find you just because you're hiding here?"

  Listening to the shrill sound coming from inside, Li Chen knew that the gust of wind was not wind, but a young eagle bursting out with super speed in an instant, evading his senses and entering the mountain cave.

  With a mix of excitement and amusement, I arrived calmly under the small hole, gazing at the soft and gentle glow inside, and then jumped up.

  What entered his eyes was a cave that was only a few dozen feet in diameter, filled with glittering yuan stones and various crystals, emitting an astonishing aura that made Li Chen involuntarily close his eyes and let out a low hum of restraint.

  It was not the first time he had discovered this treasure cave, but every time he saw it, the shock it brought him was too great.

  Fourth-order demon beasts already possess extremely high spiritual intelligence, and collecting treasures is really nothing.

  "Come out!"

  Li Chen looked at the young eagle with its head buried in the Yuan Shi, curled his lips, shouted a few times without coming out, and immediately walked in to pick it up, jumped straight out of the cave, and came to the outer cave.

  Looking out at the endless sea of clouds, Li Chen took a deep breath, disregarding the young eagle's struggles and cries, and threw him out again.

  Whoosh!

  This time, the young eagle wanted to fly back to the entrance with the wind, but Li Chen didn't give it a chance. He blocked the entire cave, and every time it tried to fly back, he caught it and threw it out again.

  Watching the young eagle fly back time and again, Li Chen's tightly strung heartstrings finally relaxed. Since this little guy could fly back, he wouldn't be afraid of falling to his death.

  Thinking of Lei Ying and her husband's majestic physique, a flash of light flashed through Li Chen's mind, and his mouth involuntarily flowed with a hint of saliva, unknowingly thinking of something that moved him.

  To the point of being absent-minded, even the young eagles taking advantage of the opportunity to fly back into their cave were unaware.

  After a long time, Li Chen finally came back to his senses and rushed into the cave: "Little darling, come practice flying, in the future... hehe!"

  The cave was filled with the sound of eerie laughter, and soon the cries of young eagles echoed through it, making people imagine all sorts of things and think that some sort of children's show had started.
