12 Chapter 12

Itachi didn't talk for long with Xia Qingyue, it was already late and he intended to rest to continue Refinishing the Stars, after all this concerned his cultivation.

Xia Qingyue watching Itachi leave felt a strange sense of emptiness. She felt that Itachi understood what she had been through, and so she felt that it was comforting to talk to him, even if most of the time he just shook his head as she chattered away.

"I hope to see him again... Wait! He said he was cultivating near this area, so maybe it's not impossible to see him again." Xia Qingyue went home with these thoughts in her head.

...

Meanwhile, Itachi was slowly walking towards the hotel, he decided to walk because he felt that the moon was especially beautiful, moreover the stars in the night sky were giving a beautiful sight.

"I feel that if I cultivate now my progress can be even faster." Itachi thought.

And it was with these thoughts that he climbed a tree that was well exposed to the night light. Sitting on top of the tree, he began to meditate while trying to attract a star so that he could absorb a small fraction of its Energy.

He quickly realized that it was much easier to cultivate at night. "If I have to say, then my progress will be twice as fast as cultivating by day." Those were Itachi's thoughts.

With that in mind, he began to schedule what his days would look like. By day he could train in the techniques of the shinobi world and by night his focus would be entirely on cultivation. Itachi felt that the techniques of that world were powerful, but if he used the techniques of the shinobi world with Profound Energy, the result would be even greater.

He came to this conclusion after he used a simple Fireball from the Shinobi world with Profound Energy. The difference for chakra was at least ten times.

The night passed in the blink of an eye, and Itachi only realized that it was already daylight when a strong sunlight reflected on his face, making him realize that he had spent the entire night cultivating.

"Incredible! Even though I haven't entered the Profound Elemental Realm I can still feel the advances in my body." Itachi muttered as he clenched his fists feeling the force surrounding his body.

Before he got the inheritance his cultivation was at the third level of the Profound Elementary Realm, which was simply amazing for a four year old child. But due to the inheritance he received his cultivation had been extinguished, and he would have to start over from scratch, which was not a big problem for Itachi.

Itachi feels that he is at least twice as strong as when he still had a cultivation. And he still believes that he could become three times stronger if he continues to Refine his body with the Star Refining technique.

"The energy of the stars is simply too pure and dense, impossible to compare with the Profound Energy normally absorbed by cultivators." Itachi thought.

Seeing that he could no longer continue his cultivation, he finally went to the hotel, he wanted to take a shower and leave to train his techniques. Even though he spent the night cultivating he doesn't feel tired, so he chose to continue training.

At the hotel no abnormality happened except for a letter on his bed, and when he opened the letter he realized that it was from Chu Yueli.

The letter said that she would take time to return to the hotel, and for him to take care of himself during this time. And the reason for her taking her time was that one of the girls she intended to recruit had some problems in her clan, and for that reason she decided to help her.

Itachi shook his head at the words of the letter. He knew that once this girl entered the sect, she would most likely never return to her clan, so it made no sense for Chu Yueli to deal with that kind of problem.

When he began his cultivation, Itachi read the sect's techniques, he felt that they were simply strange. He felt that they were incomplete, but he didn't have enough knowledge to tell what was missing. Furthermore, he felt that taking away the feelings of the people who cultivate the sect techniques is simply a bad idea.

After all, can a human being without feelings be considered a human being? Someone so cold that he cannot even feel pain, sorrow, love.

He also knew that the sect's techniques had several flaws, for example. His mother, despite being cold towards all people and beings, still showed an enormous warmth towards him, showing that the sect techniques might have flaws.

"Maybe those techniques weren't even meant to be cultivated like that." Itachi thought.

Putting those thoughts aside, he went to take a shower to refresh himself, while at the same time thinking about what his training protocol would be like during this time he would be staying in this city.

...

Xia Qingyue was walking towards the place where she met Itachi. Last night, she found herself talking with this mysterious boy her age. She was curious to know more about him, yesterday she talked most of the time, with Itachi only giving a few answers now and then, and that only made her curiosity about him grow more and more .

Even though she had lost her mother and was very sad, she felt that she could relax as long as she talked to that boy from yesterday. Everything about this boy was mysterious to her. She had never seen someone his age be so powerful. She had never seen someone with a name as strange as his. She had never seen someone like him.

"Those eyes... That feeling..." Little Xia Qingyue muttered.

In just a few minutes walking she arrived at the place where she met Itachi, her expectations were high to meet him again. But after searching for a while, she didn't spot him and that made her frustrated even though she didn't know it.

But while searching she heard some noise coming from the opposite direction she was walking and in curiosity she walked towards the noise.

Walking on the tall grass she arrived at the place where the noise was coming from, and realized that the noise was coming from a waterfall and beside the waterfall was the boy who had interested her last night.

The boy was standing there with his eyes closed, around the boy were dozens of targets that seemed to have been hit several times before.

Suddenly... the boy's eyes open. In moments he threw five sharp objects in various directions into the air.

Xia Qingyue was surprised to see these five objects being thrown randomly into the air, but soon after her surprise turned to shock. Because she saw the boy throw five more sharp objects that hit the first five, causing them to deflect away from each other and hit all the targets in the center.

She was impressed with Itachi's precision, and just as she was about to approach him to congratulate him, she realized that a series of traps seemed to have been activated.

SWISHHH!

FUUSH!

Several swords, spears, knives and stones were thrown at him.

"WATCH OUT!" She shouted in shock.
