The little chick pushed the turnip to Yun Shu as its watery eyes first looked at him and then the vegetable.

Its intention was obvious: you eat this, not me, okay?

Yun Shu laughed in response.

He picked up the little chick and held it in his palm. Giving its little head gentle strokes, Yun Shu said to it, “I was just joking. I’m not gonna eat you. You’re too adorable to be a dish.”

The little chick flipped its wings with happiness.

Yun Shu liked the little thing a lot.

Obviously, the man who looked almost identical to him was a formidable person. Therefore, he must have decided to put the egg in the bag for a reason. All in all, the little chick should be an extraordinary creature since the red mist could not hurt it in the slightest. Also, it was intelligent!

“Right, I’ll accept this turnip. From now on, you’ll be my minion! You understand?” Yun Shu said to the little chick, putting up an act of seriousness.

The little chick hurriedly widened its eyes and nodded solemnly.

Done with his show, Yun Shu picked up the turnip and took a big bite. Its taste was truly different, unlike any he had ever before. It was not spicy at all, and it instantly melted on Yun Shu’s tongue.

What was more remarkable was that Yun Shu instantly felt very refreshed. He was no more hungry and was now in high spirits instead.

That was pure Spirit Qi!

Yun Shu stared at the turnip in his hand, feeling amazed and surprised.

It was so big, so Yun Shu took it for granted that it was just a turnip.

That was totally his mistake, however!

It was by no means a turnip. Rather, it was top-quality ginseng!

Yun Shu had gone out with other outer sect disciples to collect herbs many times before. Yet, he had never seen such big ginseng!

“Little Chick, you found this in the mist?” Yun Shu hurriedly turned around and asked.

The little chick nodded hard in return.

“Are there more in the mist?” Yun Shu swallowed his saliva.

The little chick nodded again.

“Like… lots?” Yun Shu’s voice started trembling.

The little chick nodded without hesitation.

“Amazing…” Yun Shu released a long sigh and lay down on the ground, his face up.

He then laughed and giggled for a while before he jumped to his feet. It was not yet the right time for him to celebrate. After eating the ginseng, he had to cultivate hard for it to bear fruit.

Yesterday, when he was trying to make another breakthrough, he failed because his body couldn’t keep up with the pace. At that time, how he wished he could have plenty of precious herbs!

That was just his wild fantasy, though, nothing more.

However, his wish had come true just the day after.

It was true that usually, natural herbs wouldn’t work as well as supreme pills since they had been refined.

But the ginseng was big enough to make up for the difference.

Now, Yun Shu was wholly confident that he would be able to make the next breakthrough in no time.

“You need to stay away from me for a short while. I’m going to cultivate.” Yun Shu picked up the little chick and put it in a safe place.

Then he carefully pulled out a stream of Spirit Qi from his body and started refining his hands. Soon, it felt as if they had been remade.

He had just reached the sixth level of Qi Sky Realm!

Yun Shu grinned as he sensed his cultivation surge. Seeing that, the little chick also bounced up and down, flapping its tiny wings to share the happiness of its master.

However, after a couple of jumps, it suddenly lost its balance and hit the ground. Yun Shu hurriedly ran over. After all, the little chick had played a major role in his breakthrough. So, seeing it hurt, he was anxious.

“Are you alright?” Yun Shu asked.

The little chick opened its eyes and looked into Yun Shu’s. And then it tapped its stomach with its tiny wings.

Yun Shu understood immediately.

The little thing was hungry!

Yun Shu had already finished the entire ginseng by himself. As a result, he could only find a few leaves left on the ground.

He picked up the leaves and put them beside the little chick, but it immediately turned its little head.

“You don’t want this? What do you feed on then?” Yun Shu didn’t know what to do.

The little chick walked to the eggshell and pecked at the burnt part. Then it turned around and stared at Yun Shu with its watery eyes.

“You mean… You eat fire?” Yun Shu suddenly got the message.
