Chapter 1001: Chapter 973: River and Forest

"Li Chen, you..." Seeing Li Chen appear, Cherie seemed a bit surprised.

"These days, thank you for taking care of me." Li Chen nodded: "I owe you all a favor, and this favor, I will return to you."

Li Chen turned his head, looking at Cherie, whose eyes were still a bit red, and smiled: "Cherie, thank you for these days, now it’s time for me to leave."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the few people were collectively stunned.

They had speculated that Li Chen would want to leave, but they hadn’t expected him to leave voluntarily, and in this situation.

To the people of Kalin Village, Li Chen was nothing more than a lazy man who couldn’t even walk steadily, freeloading off Cherie’s home.

Of course, there were suspicions about why Li Chen had ended up like this.

But this was not enough to offset the fact that Li Chen was freeloading at Cherie’s house.

In their eyes, Li Chen would use his unhealed body as an excuse to stay at Cherie’s house for a while before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Li Chen stood up at this moment.

Li Chen’s eyes turned to Cherie beside him: "Cherie, thank you so much for taking care of me during this time. This favor, I will definitely repay you. But now, we have to say goodbye temporarily."

After saying that, Li Chen looked at the village chief and Ojena and others: "I know, staying in the village has been annoying for everyone, I also wish I could help with some work or something, but unfortunately..."

Li Chen gave a wry smile and looked at his own legs.

He indeed had difficulty even walking, even if his True Qi had recovered somewhat, that little bit of True Qi wouldn’t be of much use in farm work, and might even cause trouble.

After all, Kalin Village had no Martial Artists.

This was a fact that Li Chen had already discovered.

With the True Qi that Li Chen had recovered now, he was probably only at about the Yellow Rank, and anyone stronger could easily defeat him.

Before his strength recovered, Li Chen dared not reveal it.

After all, this is a strange world, full of unknowns.

Li Chen smiled, directly turned his head, supporting himself with a crutch, and limped towards the outside of the village.

His back was somewhat hunched, also somewhat desolate.

"Village Chief, we..." Ojena looked at the village chief beside her, she was a girl, seeing Li Chen like this, she couldn’t help but feel sympathy.

"Ojena, we are just doing this for the village!" The village chief looked at Li Chen’s departing figure, sighed, seemed unable to bear watching anymore, turned and left.

Only Cherie silently watched Li Chen until he walked out of Kalin Village.

"Whew—"

Long breathed out a sigh, Li Chen found a place to sit down.

Beside him was a small river.

According to Cherie, he was found here. So Li Chen chose to come here.

When he came, he didn’t bring anything with him. Because everything he had was lost along with his torn clothes, no one knew where they went.

So when he left Kalin Village, Li Chen was naturally alone.

Only... Li Chen looked down at himself, this outfit was still given to him by Cherie.

A simple hemp garment, like what ancient laborers wore.

"The quality is good, but I still prefer black." Li Chen smiled, actually not caring about how Kalin Village drove him away.

After understanding Kalin Village’s situation, Li Chen had planned to leave to avoid putting extra strain on this existence.

It was just that this day came a little earlier.

Sitting cross-legged by the river, Li Chen began to close his eyes and cultivate.

During this time, the only thing he could do was practice, although the recovery of True Qi was somewhat slow. But anyway, it was recovering.

And moreover, the Spiritual Energy here was quite abundant.

Li Chen believed it wouldn’t be long before he could recover to his full state.

Moreover, Li Chen vaguely felt that a certain bottleneck in his body had, at an unknown time, shattered.

That meant when he returned to peak state, it would not just be the Profound Level Peak.

But... Earth Level!

"I didn’t expect that I’d really become an Earth-level expert." Li Chen smiled bitterly in his heart: "Except, a pitiful Earth-level expert like me, I guess it’s rare to see such a thing, right?"

Li Chen once heard his grandfathers say after reaching Earth Level, one must devour and fuse an attribute of their own.

However, when he first awoke, he was in the Star Sea. Yet, there was nothing there.

Those light points and ’planets’ had disappeared without a trace.

Li Chen didn’t know where they had gone, but for him, breaking through to Earth Level was enough.

"However, without Raw Stones and medicinal assistance, healing is indeed a bit slow."

Previously, whenever Li Chen was injured, he always had medical assistance; otherwise, he couldn’t have recovered so quickly. But this time, he lacked any auxiliary aids and had to rely on himself to recover slowly.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Li Chen’s gaze turned to the nearby woods.

A thought lingered in his mind for a moment, then he didn’t hesitate and headed directly towards the woods.

"Damn! Struck gold!" Not long after entering the woods, Li Chen’s eyes began to gleam with Golden Light.

His guess was indeed not wrong.

Earlier, Li Chen had been thinking, in a place with such abundant Spiritual Energy, there surely would be some Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Grass.

It’s just that Li Chen didn’t know how the people here utilized these things.

With a mindset to try, Li Chen stepped into this forest.

But the things in the forest surprised Li Chen.

What he saw were large amounts of various herbs, and due to the influence of the Spiritual Energy here, their quantity and potency were quite substantial.

He even found a few quite good Spiritual Medicine plants.

"This really solves a big problem!" Li Chen was somewhat pleased in his heart.

Even he, seeing so many good things here, couldn’t help but feel happy.

After all, these things are rare genuine Spiritual Medicine outside!

"It seems the people here haven’t really tapped into these things’ potentials?" Li Chen felt a sense of doubt.

People from Kalin Village often come to the river for fishing activities.

Even when they come into the woods, it’s to gather mushrooms and similar things; as for herbs, Li Chen hadn’t seen anyone bring them back.

"But this time, it’s a good deal for me!" Li Chen’s face showed a faint smile.
