28 The Hunt 2 (2/2)
”Very good, you're right! We're here to fish for eels, the Blind Eels.” (CH)
”For what, senior? And Blind Eel?” (YX)
”For bait. The Blind Eel are an eye-less eel that lives in these pond, the Gudol birds particularly like these eel. The Gudol birds are a flightless birds with strong and fast legs, and by fast I mean really fast. Hunting them normally is impossible because they're a sensitive demon beasts, they flee the moment they detected any sound or Zhenqi.
But they're not without weakness, they let their guard down when they eat. So, we need to bait them with the eels and ambushed them. Now then, rolled up your sleeves and let's fish! You can either use a fishing line or just catch one with hand, it's your choice.” (CH)
After saying that, Chen Hanchen rolled his sleeves and jumped into the pond. He bend downward and used his hands to feel the mud below the water, searching for holes where the eels burrowed in. Yan Xiu and the other two didn't bring any fishing line, so they rolled up their sleeves and searching around like Chen Hanchen.
Bai Yuan wasn't interested in following them, so he sat down and looked at the four humans in the pond. While their searching, Yan Xiu recalled the aura around Chen Hanchen's dagger and Bai Yuan's fist and felt curious. Still feeling around the mud, Yan Xiu spoke.
”Senior, that red aura around your dagger back then, is that a skill? A spell?” (YX)
The other two apprentice hunters also interested, so they perked their ears.
”That? That's something you can use when you become an Inner Foundation expert. As an Inner Foundation expert, you can infuse your weapon or body with your Zhenqi to reinforce them.
Making them sharper and tougher, depend on your mastery, you can clad yourself in Zhenqi to make yourself stronger and faster. Of course, you have to be an expert on it or you'll risk hurting your own body.

At Outer Foundation, a stage above Inner foundation, you can manifest your Zhenqi outside and attack with it. And there are rare cases, where the Zhenqi manifested as a Totem.” (CH)
”Totem?” (YX)
”Normally, when an Outer Foundation let out his Zhenqi it didn't have any form, except he uses a spell or skill. But, there are some that have definite form like a weapon or beast, that are called Totems.
Unlike a normal Outer Foundation expert, the Outer Foundation expert with a Totem have an innate skill or other abilities connected to their Totem.” (CH)
”Wow, that's so cool.” (YX)
”I wonder if I'd have Totem..” (XG)
”Senior, is there anyway we could now if we have a Totem or not?” (SJ)
”Well, you either have to reach Outer Foundation stage or use an Assessment Altar. I heard it can show your manifested Zhenqi. You guys can try it two months later in Firehowl city, I heard they will set up one there for the Disciple Recruiting day.” (CH)
”Really?! I'll definitely go there!” (XG)
”Count me in, Brother!” (SJ)
”Well, it's good to be enthusiast but don't forget to move your hand. Let's catch some eels first, okay?” (CH)
Xin Guodan and Shuang Jingu realized they stopped searching for eels and started again, but their head was full of hope and imagination of having Totem. Yan Xiu too fantasize about having a Totem, after all, he wished to get stronger.
After a few hours, they managed to caught twenty five Blind Eels. The eels didn't have eyes and their colour was like mud with yellowish tinge. They make a makeshift leaf bag and put the live eels inside, after some cleaning up, they left the pond.
