The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 52 – The power of Daoist Arts has surged again

All these reasons forced him to break through.

In the end, unable to think of a good solution, Brandon decided to delay the matter.

He stopped using Purification Pills, Qi Gathering Pills, and other cultivation-enhancing elixirs and turned to practicing Daoist arts instead.

Whether it was the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art or the Daoist art for concealing his true cultivation given by Patricia Qing, both were challenging enough to keep him busy for a while.

So, in the following days, Brandon worked diligently during the day to please Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix. At night, he studied the Heartbreak Pill's antidote with Chu Jun and then practiced the two Daoist arts back at his residence.

He didn't neglect the business of selling defective talisman materials, earning several hundred pills worth of income daily.

Adding the five thousand Qi Gathering Pills given by Patricia Qing, he quickly gathered enough resources for Chu Jun to heal her injuries.

Chu Jun fully recovered, her condition and combat power returning to their peak. However, she still appeared sickly to outsiders.

Patricia Qing and Dorothy Lin had been quiet these past few days, allowing Brandon to enjoy a rare peace.

Things seemed to be getting better, but this calm felt more like the quiet before a storm.

In his room, Brandon pondered the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art, which he shared with Chu Jun. They exchanged their cultivation insights daily, making rapid progress.

The "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art, a core technique of the Lin Family, was indeed extraordinary and ingenious!

Before practicing, Brandon had always wondered where the extra spiritual power would come from if the Daoist art doubled the scale of his techniques.

If it consumed the cultivator's own spiritual power, its practicality would be greatly reduced.

But after practicing, Brandon was surprised to find that the extra consumption could be replaced by the unrefined spiritual energy stored in his Dantian.

In other words, by taking Qi Gathering Pills or similar elixirs and storing enough spiritual energy in his Dantian beforehand, this energy could be used in battle just like his own spiritual power!

Such an effect was terrifying for enhancing a cultivator's combat power!

After several days of practice, Brandon finally mastered the basics of this Daoist art. He walked out of his room, ready to test the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" technique.

In the courtyard, he cleared a space and placed a thick wooden stake in the middle. He simultaneously activated the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" and Fire Control Technique.

Spiritual power and the unrefined spiritual energy in his Dantian were consumed simultaneously. In an instant, an orange-red fireball formed and shot towards the wooden stake.

Seeing this, Brandon couldn't help but frown.

Chu Jun had learned this Daoist art faster than him and had previously demonstrated its effect using the Fire Control Technique. One fireball had turned into two, doubling in scale.

But when Brandon used the technique, the fireball's scale didn't change at all. It seemed like the Daoist art had failed.

Yet the spiritual power and spiritual energy were indeed consumed.

However, the next second, when the fireball collided with the stake, Brandon was stunned.

The thick wooden stake was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Brandon's eyes widened slightly. The fireball's power was too great, burning even the ashes!

Even with his improved cultivation, the Fire Control Technique shouldn't have increased in power this much.

Then, in the next moment, Brandon suddenly understood!

It was the effect of the "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art!

The Daoist art had worked, but instead of turning one fireball into two, it had... combined two fireballs into one, enhancing its power!

Brandon was shocked.

Undoubtedly, the benefits of qualitative change far exceeded those of quantitative change!

Increasing the scale of a Daoist art could suppress or defeat enemies of the same level.

But a significant increase in power could deal with higher-level opponents!

The Daoist art he used was already powerful. Even at the second level of Qi Refining, its power could rival the fourth level.

Now, with the Fire Control Technique's power boosted again, defeating a fourth-level Qi Refining cultivator was highly likely. He just didn't know if it would work against even higher-level cultivators.

As for why his "A Single Tree Becomes a Pair" Daoist art differed from others, Brandon guessed it was similar to the Fire Control Technique—mysteriously enhanced.

Perhaps it was due to his unique physique or some other reason, but it wasn't a bad thing.

After testing the new Daoist art, Brandon practiced a bit more, and soon it was dawn.

Looking at the sky turning light, Brandon felt a heavy weight in his heart.

Today was the last day of the one-week deadline given by Patricia Qing. He had to break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Otherwise, even if Patricia Qing didn't kill him, she would use the Heartbreak Pill to torture him.

Of course, his cultivation had already half-stepped into the third level of Qi Refining. He could break through anytime he wanted!

If worse came to worst, he would break through in front of Patricia Qing!

As a fifth-level Foundation Establishment expert, even if some unknown entity wanted to kill her, she should be fine.

And even if she died, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him. He might even seize the opportunity to grab the antidote from her.

But this plan had too many variables, and Brandon didn't want to take the risk unless absolutely necessary.

With a nervous heart, Brandon arrived at Purple Lotus Peak.

When he heard the task assigned to him by Elizabeth Chun and Barbara Xia, he was dumbfounded.

He had to capture a Dragon Thunder Fate cultivator and refine the "Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand"!

In other words, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix was going to refine the Dragon Thunder Talisman again!

Brandon felt a headache. Everything was happening at once. If Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix delayed refining the Dragon Thunder Talisman, he could find an excuse to stall.

But now, he had to steal the finished "Everyone Like Dragon Golden Thunder Sand"!

If he got caught, he wouldn't need to worry about breaking through because he wouldn't survive the ordeal.
