Facing the killing wind, Yun Shu wielded the wooden stick in his hand.

Bang, bang, bang!

It sounded as if blades were colliding with each other, nothing like a clash between wind and wood. As Yun Shu had expected, the killing wind here is much more powerful.

However, that was a good thing for Yun Shu. To practice his sword intent, he needed a greater challenge, and this was just perfect. Holding the wooden stick, he ran toward the killing wind.

After two hours, when the killing wind died out, Yun Shu had gone deeper into the valley by more than fifty kilometers!

Yun Shu was totally exhausted by the excursion, though. He took out a Fine pill and put it into his mouth. Soon, his fatigue all disappeared, his muscles moaning in relaxation.

The killing wind here in this part of the valley had become fierce and intense. If things go on like this, I wouldn’t have enough pills to reach my destination that’s 500 kilometers away. So he quickly went back to the world behind the stone gate.

Seeing Yun Shu coming back, the little chick cheered and kept bouncing around. He would also be delighted every time he saw the little thing.

“I’ll feed you before refining pills.” Yun Shu sat down on the ground and started feeding the little chick.

The little chick got excited, seeing the flame. It opened its beak as wide as possible to devour the flame. This time, it soon became full, which was a bit surprising to Yun Shu.

But he instantly realized the reason. His cultivation had improved from the Qi Sky Realm to the Aqua Sky Realm, and thus, the quality of his Spirit Qi had been boosted as well.

Now, the flame produced by Yun Shu’s Qi was purer. Therefore, the little chick didn’t have to consume that huge an amount anymore.

As usual, the little thing became sleepy after the big meal, and Yun Shu started refining his pills. He was getting increasingly skillful in alchemy.

He made three sets, seventy-five pills in total. Among them, there were eighteen Fine pills, while the rest of them being Ordinary.

Yun Shu was disappointed one more time; he still wasn’t able to produce Supreme-grade pills. Nonetheless, this batch could last a couple of days, at least.

Yun Shu cast a glance at the sleeping little chick and noticed some differences. Its eyes closed, the little thing looked like it was in pain.

“Hey, are you alright?” Yun Shu didn’t know what to do except to call the little thing.

Spending this much time together, Yun Shu had developed a bond with it. Also, the little chick’s contribution to Yun Shu’s achievements was immense. Of course, he would be anxious about it.

No matter how many times Yun Shu called, though, the little chick wouldn’t wake up. Its small body was writhing in agony as it squirmed here and there.

Yun Shu hurriedly picked up the little chick in his arms, sensing its high body temperature.

Was it a fever? Yun Shu had no idea. He didn’t know that a chick could also have a fever. With no other choice, he held the little chick tight in his arms and started sending his Spirit Qi into its body, trying to find the reason.

However, after a couple of hours, Yun Shu still had no clue at all. He held it in his arms for almost a day when suddenly, the little chick’s body started to change.
