Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 51 - 32 Fire Control Technique (5)!

After comprehending the first Dao Fruit.

Chen Jichuan restrained the joy in his heart and turned his gaze to the side of the lotus pod.

The lotus pod was originally a lotus flower.

The lotus flower was originally a flower bud.

The flower bud was initially singular.

But now, the flower bloomed as twins. On the same stem, at some point, another flower bud grew.

Inside the flower bud.

Two thousand one hundred and seventy-four silver threads danced, yet the flower bud showed no signs of blooming.

Chen Jichuan stared at it for a moment.

Then information emerged from the flower bud, causing his brow to furrow: "Previously entering the Great Yann World required only a thousand source power, but this time, it demands ten thousand?"

A thousand was enough for it to bloom last time.

Now it requires ten thousand before it relents.

Fortunately, he had prepared in advance—

Living frugally, scrimping and saving, preserving a bit over two thousand source power with the thought of seamlessly transitioning to unlock the next world after finishing the Great Yann World.

Unexpectedly—

"It seems."

"I must act swiftly."

Chen Jichuan silently thought to himself.

Currently, there were too many things that required the use of source power—

The blooming of the flower bud.

The manifestation of lotus seeds.

The application of Fire Control Technique, Blood Burning Skill, and other abilities.

All of these required source power.

Additionally, his personal cultivation relied on source power; otherwise, he might never achieve much in several lifetimes.

One matter after another,

All were major consumers of resources.

As far as Chen Jichuan knew, the only places that consistently yielded source power were the Black Prison within Centipede Mountain.

Aside from that, the "Bivalve Pearls" generated in the Water Mansion of the Lishui Gang contained spiritual energy, but in terms of quantity, they couldn’t compare to the Black Prison. Furthermore, Chen Jichuan was unfamiliar with the Water Mansion and had little confidence in tapping into it.

As for the Golden Sun Sect’s Hidden Peach Valley, he was still unsure if there were any Spirit Stones or valuable items like Bivalve Pearls inside.

"For now, I am weak and under-resourced. I cannot claim the Black Prison, nor occupy it."

The Black Prison was a place Chen Jichuan was familiar with.

If he ventured inside himself, extracting Spirit Stones would be simple. However, if external events turned unfavorable and trapped him inside, cutting off his resources, it wouldn’t be long before he starved to death.

This course of action was inadvisable.

"Fortunately."

"I have a trump card in hand."

Chen Jichuan glanced at the lotus seeds within the lotus pod.

With a single thought,

He returned to reality.

...

Haitang Mountain.

The rising sun gleamed.

Chen Jichuan led Chen Shaohu to the spiritual jujube tree to practice cultivation.

After two months, the spiritual jujube tree had regained its vitality. Despite the approaching winter, it had sprouted a lush array of new leaves, vibrant and green, evoking joy at first sight.

When cultivating under the tree, one felt invigorated, with remarkable results.

Moreover, the spiritual jujube tree gathered spiritual energy, providing additional benefits during practice.

Chen Jichuan had tested it personally.

Ten days of cultivation under the spiritual jujube tree were equivalent to twelve or thirteen days of cultivation in the Great Yann World.

A mere two or three extra days may seem insignificant, but over months and years, it could mean gaining an advantage of several years or even a decade of skill development over others.

In a lifetime, how many "several years" or "decades" can one truly have?

The sunlight rose higher.

Warm morning light bathed the land.

Chen Jichuan and Chen Shaohu sat cross-legged on a stone mill, channeling their inner strength and inner breath.

It was Static Skill, requiring complete focus.

After about an hour.

The cultivation was successfully concluded.

"Huh?"

Chen Shaohu opened his eyes first, his face initially bewildered, then brimming with surprise. Without standing up, still seated cross-legged, he opened his mouth and blew—

Whoosh!

A tongue of flame extended outward, reaching five feet away. The high heat evaporated the dew among the morning forest, turning it into wisps of mist.

"This is—"

Chen Shaohu exclaimed, both surprised and confused.

At this moment.

Chen Jichuan also concluded his cultivation, turning to Chen Shaohu: "What’s the matter?"

He thought the latter had experienced an error during cultivation.

"Fourth Brother."

"Quickly take a look; my ’Fire Control Technique’ seems to have become stronger!"

Chen Shaohu, seeing his Fourth Brother awake, hurriedly urged him.

After two months, Chen Shaohu had grown sturdier in physique, his personality becoming livelier.

Basking in the sun every day, he never felt hot, even darkening his skin until it gleamed and no longer resembled the desperate figure of Chen the Fifth in the Black Prison.

"Fire Control Technique?"

Chen Jichuan’s mind stirred, and without hesitation, he used the Insight Skill to analyze—

Name: Chen Shaohu

Age: 16

Immortal-order: None

Level: 5

Talents: Fire Control (5), Divine Pouncing Saber (first layer), Land Flying Skill (first layer), Iron Bull Skill (first layer), Lying Tiger Skill (first layer), Wave Wrapping Skill (first layer)

"Fire Control Technique."

"Fifth layer?!"

Chen Jichuan’s face lit up with joy: "It really is!"

Over the days,

Chen Shaohu had practiced martial arts alongside him, gaining significant physical strength.

The Fire Control Technique was also practiced daily.

However, apart from becoming more proficient, neither Chen Shaohu nor Chen Jichuan knew how to elevate this abnormal skill.

Unexpectedly.

Today, it broke through!

"Level 5?"

"Does this mean I’m now a Fifth-Grade master?!"

Chen Shaohu hesitated briefly at Fourth Brother’s words, then broke into a wide grin, his joy uncontrollable.

During this period, he cultivated inner strength, practiced external skills.

Seeing his progress from nothing to something, his heart brimmed with happiness. As he practiced martial arts, his appetite grew, his body became more robust, and his legs and feet gained more strength, filling him with joy.

Although cultivation was tough,

As long as he made progress, Chen Shaohu was elated.

And what he had least hoped for, the Fire Control Technique, something he had mostly ignored and left to chance, had surprisingly advanced silently to the fifth layer, catching him completely by surprise.

It was truly an unexpected joy.

"When did you notice?"

Chen Jichuan, seeing Chen Shaohu’s delight, felt happy for him as well.

But deep down, he was more concerned about how this abnormal skill could be improved.

Seeing Fourth Brother’s inquiry, Chen Shaohu quickly restrained his grin, recalling: "I think it was this morning, or maybe yesterday morning. I wasn’t paying much attention, just practicing the Fire Control Technique as usual, and suddenly, it became stronger."

"Suddenly?"

Chen Jichuan shook his head.

Everything has its cause; nothing happens without reason.

"Could it be—"

Chen Jichuan glanced at the spiritual jujube tree in front of them, making some guesses in his heart.

Suddenly.

"Oh, I almost forgot!"

Chen Shaohu slapped his head, exclaiming loudly, and pulled out two plump dates from his pocket, offering them to Chen Jichuan: "Fourth Brother, could it be these spiritual dates?"

Seeing Fourth Brother’s gaze shift over.

Chen Shaohu explained: "Back then, you brought back more than sixty spiritual dates, all of which you gave to me to eat. Every time I ate one, I’d faintly feel more energetic and stronger. I felt the same while in the Black Prison, but after leaving the Black Prison and initially arriving at Haitang Mountain, that sensation disappeared."

"The Black Prison."

"Spirit Stones."

"Spiritual Dates."

Chen Jichuan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

It must be connected to this.

Back then, he didn’t care much about the few hundred source power contained in the spiritual dates, thinking they might help Sheng Dayang and his son awaken abnormal skills. For someone like Chen Shaohu, an Abnormal Person, they might also prove beneficial.

Now it appeared,

Their efficacy was indeed evident.

"Let me take another look."

Chen Jichuan activated the Insight Skill again to probe Chen Shaohu. freёwebnoѵel.com

This time, peering deep into his body, he observed the rune representing the Fire Control Technique, which had become more intricate, several times more complex than it had been at Level 4.

Even though Chen Jichuan had analyzed several abnormal skills over the past two months, encountering this Level 5 rune made his head spin, rendering it unclear and indiscernible for the moment.

"Level 5."

Chen Jichuan wasn’t upset; instead, he was elated: "This suggests that my ’Fire Control Technique’ can also advance further."

The Fire Control Technique he possessed had been copied from Chen Shaohu. Now that the "sample" had evolved and strengthened, copying it anew would yield benefits for him as well.

As for deducing it independently—

"I’m not yet capable of that."

Chen Jichuan shook his head.
