Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 415: Cultivating the Spirit Burning Profound Skill

Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Cultivating the Spirit Burning Profound Skill

After Chang En left, Chen Mo immediately began to study the Spirit Burning Profound Skill.

According to its description, this technique burns and compresses the innate spiritual qi within the body, making it more refined.

For example, it’s like taking several strands of innate spiritual qi, and burning them into one strand; the power of the refined qi is not merely the sum of two normal strands of spiritual qi.

Instead, it undergoes a sublimation, erupting with a power equivalent to 1+1 equaling 3 or 4.

If other martial arts are performed using the refined innate spiritual qi, Chen Mo can’t even imagine the power that would be unleashed.

The Spirit Burning Profound Skill is divided into three levels, but the system categorizes it as Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. It’s uncertain if there will be a Tier Break later.

The first level of Spirit Burning Profound Skill burns the slowest.

Cultivating to the second level increases the burning speed.

However, seeing this, Chen Mo was puzzled.

Isn’t a slow burning speed better than a fast one?

After all, the faster the burning speed, the quicker the consumption of the stored innate spiritual qi in the body.

Carrying this doubt, Chen Mo began to cultivate the Spirit Burning Profound Skill.

With the system in place, Chen Mo didn’t need to endure the hard training step by step like others; he merely needed to accumulate experience.

With a bit of self-directed trial, the system’s voice quickly sounded in Chen Mo’s mind.

[Burning Count +1, Spirit Burning Profound Skill Experience +1.]

All Chen Mo did was refine two strands of innate spiritual qi into one strand and then release the refined qi, and the system indicated experience +1.

The time spent burning took nearly two breaths. (One breath is adopted as three seconds in this text.)

In no time, within less than a quarter of an hour,

he successfully cultivated the Basic level of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill.

[Spirit Burning Profound Skill (Intermediate 0/1000).]

Chen Mo looked delighted; it was even simpler than when he first cultivated the Celestial Harmony Saber Technique.

And now, the innate spiritual qi in his body had only burned less than a fifth.

Without hesitation, Chen Mo continued to cultivate.

Soon after.

[Burning Count +1, Spirit Burning Profound Skill Experience +1.]

Chen Mo opened the system panel.

In the martial arts section: [Spirit Burning Profound Skill (Intermediate 422/1000).]

Chen Mo’s lips slightly curled; with this pace, wouldn’t it be possible to cultivate the Spirit Burning Profound Skill to an Advanced level within a day, or even potentially... a Tier Break.

Seeing that the innate spiritual qi in his body was nearly exhausted,

Chen Mo decided to leave the study to restore his innate spiritual qi.

It’s worth noting, after breaking through to Upper-Grade Martial Artist, Chen Mo only needs to bask in sunlight to recover innate spiritual qi, although sunlight can’t be used to cultivate and increase Purple Sun Transformation Skill’s experience.

And today, the sun was shining brightly.

In the courtyard, dazzling sunlight poured down, and Chen Mo stood under the sunlight, somewhat dumbfounded.

Previously, as long as the dantian wasn’t saturated, Chen Mo could absorb sunlight to recover innate spiritual qi, but at this moment, he couldn’t restore it.

When he activated the cultivation technique, the dantian "closed," preventing any absorption into the dantian.

This made his expression slightly darken.

He wondered if this was the "Weakness Stage" described in the Spirit Burning Profound Skill’s short-term enhancement.

Or if cultivating the Spirit Burning Profound Skill had caused problems with his dantian.

This was no joking matter; Chen Mo immediately sought out Chang En and explained the issue, although he sure didn’t mention anything about system assistance.

Chang En said he didn’t know either.

He mentioned that their master hadn’t taught him about this yet.

He got the technique and returned from Dragon Return Mountain without starting cultivation.

Hearing this, Chen Mo felt a bit unsettled.

He had been too hasty.

He shouldn’t have rushed into cultivation but should have waited to see Chang En’s progress first.

However, since this was left for Chang En by his master, it certainly wouldn’t be anything harmful.

Moreover, after the system stored it, the surge of memories didn’t reveal anything wrong with the "Spirit Burning Profound Skill."

Chen Mo’s eyes flickered, and he once again refined the remaining innate spiritual qi in his body, releasing it.

Until [Spirit Burning Profound Skill (Intermediate 452/1000).]

The innate spiritual qi in his body was completely burned and exhausted.

And at that moment, he still couldn’t recover the innate spiritual qi.

It wasn’t until a quarter past 3:00 PM,

that Chen Mo could sense his ability to recover innate spiritual qi.

Therefore, to verify his hypothesis,

he didn’t wait for the innate spiritual qi to completely recover but instead, resumed the Spirit Burning Profound Skill after recovering just a little.

The result was that after activating the Spirit Burning Profound Skill, when Chen Mo tried to restore the innate spiritual qi again, he encountered the same morning situation; he still couldn’t recover the innate spiritual qi.

By this point, Chen Mo already had part of the answer in his mind.

The next day, it was overcast in the morning.

In the afternoon, by 3:00 PM, there was a bit of sunlight.

The third day was clear.

It took the entire morning for Chen Mo to restore his innate spiritual qi, allowing his dantian to be in a full state.

Afternoon.

[Burning Count +1, Spirit Burning Profound Skill Experience +1.]

[Spirit Burning Profound Skill (Advanced 0/10000).]

With the second level of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill, Chen Mo succeeded in cultivation.

Two days later, Chen Mo fully understood the mechanics of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill and also resolved the initial confusion about the varying burning speeds when he first started practicing it.

Firstly, how long the Spirit Burning Profound Skill can last depends on the amount of innate spiritual qi in the body and the burning speed.

Once the innate spiritual qi is exhausted, the duration of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill ends.

When the Spirit Burning Profound Skill is activated, it is impossible to recover innate spiritual qi, and subsequently, it enters a "Weakness Stage" where innate qi cannot be restored.

The duration of this Weakness Stage depends on whether there is innate spiritual qi in the body. If it is exhausted, it lasts about three hours; after it ends, innate spiritual qi can be restored, and the Spirit Burning Profound Skill can be used again.

If there is still innate spiritual qi within, it will continue uninterrupted.

Next, regarding the burning speed.

As they say, "In martial arts, speed is key."

In a duel between experts, victory is often determined in the blink of an eye.

If at the Basic level, which is the first layer of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill,

it takes nearly two breaths to refine two strands of innate spiritual qi into one; if it’s a life and death duel, in that time the opponent might have unleashed multiple killer moves.

Moreover, to enhance strength further, refining two strands into one isn’t enough; one might need to refine dozens, or hundreds, into one, and this would far exceed the burning time of two breaths, extending to a dozen or several dozen breaths.

With a faster burning speed, the refinement time can be reduced.

Of course, the drawback is a shorter duration of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill.

The second level of the Spirit Burning Profound Skill reduces the time to refine two strands of innate spiritual qi into one from nearly two breaths to less than one.

To this, Chen Mo felt eager to try it out.

It’s important to know that non-training times differ from training times.

By leveraging the system in cultivation, if he wanted quicker training speed, he had to refine two strands into one and then release them.

But during ordinary times, he could refine the innate spiritual qi beforehand and use it when needed.

Yet, the drawback is apparent: during these inactive periods, he’s unable to recover innate spiritual qi.

As such, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate the Purple Sun Profound Transformation Skill.
