[Innate Talent - Comprehension: 13 (Potential)]

[Realm Level: Mortal (1%)]

"His comprehension is almost at 15 points," Su Chen murmured.

"I've already mastered the Grass-Flying Technique; next, I need to comprehend the Breathing Technique and the Pure Vitality Nourishing Technique..."

He discovered the difference as soon as he tried to understand the breathing technique.

I reckon it will take at most five or six days to get the hang of the breathing technique!

Su Chen became engrossed in a deep and mysterious cultivation practice.

A wisp of inspiration was drawn in, and the magical power within his body gradually increased.

Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, another five days have passed.

early morning.

Su Chen opened his eyes, looked at the panel, and sighed, "My comprehension is still lacking, too slow..."

More than five days have passed, and the progress of comprehending the Qingxu Yangyuan Jue has only reached 34%, which is still quite a while away from achieving minor success.

[Realm Level: Mortal (5%)]

Based on the current rate of absorbing spiritual energy, it will take at least three more months to reach the maximum level of the mortal realm.

Unless one can comprehend the Pure Emptiness Nourishing Essence Technique to a minor degree, one cannot accelerate the speed of absorbing spiritual energy!

Su Chen began to study the breathing techniques.

The breathing techniques and Daoist incantations in my mind resembled the gathering and dispersing of clouds, or the movement of dragons and snakes, slowly wriggling as if they were alive.

He couldn't understand it at all at first, finding it obscure and difficult to comprehend. But after several days of insightful contemplation, he has come to understand it more or less.

Fifteen minutes passed.

A notification sound then rang out.

[Breathing Techniques Beginner Level, Comprehension +5]

Su Chen was startled.

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

Lifespan: 40

[Innate Talent - Comprehension: 18 (Potential)]

【功法:伏虎拳（小成1%）、草上飛（小成1%）、五禽戲（入門1%）、清虛養元決（入門34%）、吐納術（入門1%）】

[Realm Level: Mortal (5%)]

Su Chen took a deep breath, feeling utterly horrified.

Having just grasped the basics, my comprehension has suddenly increased by 5 points?!

Most importantly, unlike the Pure Void Nourishing Yuan Technique, where he had mastered the breathing techniques, he still found the Cloud Register Daoist texts complex and obscure.

Just like when he knew nothing, he didn't feel anything, but now that he understands a little, he can feel the profound mystery of the Cloud Codex.

The difficulty of comprehending it has suddenly increased dramatically!

"Now that I can try practicing breathing techniques, would you like to give it a try?"

After hesitating for a while, Su Chen chose to give up.

Understanding the profound aspects of breathing techniques is related to the opening of one's inner vision, the amount of magical power that the inner vision can hold, and its future potential.

Once I have fully comprehended the Daoist texts of the breathing technique, I will try to practice it again!

"If we're going to open up a new space, let's open up the best interior!"

Su Chen was somewhat curious.

"My comprehension has broken through to 15 points, but the evaluation hasn't changed? It seems I need to reach 20 points to see a change?"

Then, Su Chen resumed his cultivation.

Chapter 8 The Daoist Flower Blooms in an Instant?!

In the blink of an eye, another six days have passed.

Bright morning light spilled into the courtyard.

The courtyard is neither too big nor too small, and it is filled with flowers and trees.

The stone path is winding, with moss growing along the cracks, and flower branches drooping on both sides, their colors clear and moist.

A gentle breeze rustled the flowers, their shadows swaying, their fragrance, though faint, slowly spreading through the air.

The servants walked with unconsciously light steps, as if afraid of disturbing the tranquility, or perhaps afraid of disturbing the boy who was lost in thought in the courtyard.

Su Chen sat in the courtyard, eating snacks while comprehending the Pure Void Nourishing Yuan Technique.

Xiao Tao, the personal maid, stood respectfully to serve him.

Suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Relying on his superior comprehension, he had already mastered the Qingxu Yangyuan Jue, which originally would have taken him about ten days to comprehend, in just six days!

The notification sound immediately rang out.

[Minor Success in the Clearing and Nourishing Essence Technique, Comprehension +4]

[Innate Talent & Comprehension: 22 (A Rare Talent)]

"A promising talent, yet unrefined?"

Su Chen looked dazed.

As the saying goes, a young person is like a piece of uncut jade; once polished, they can become a great talent!

If his comprehension was initially unteachable, he is now considered a genius. With a little refinement and the passage of time, he will achieve great things!

And how long can this take?

"It's not impossible for his comprehension to rival that of the ancient sages in the near future!"

What will happen then?

A slight smile appeared on Su Chen's face.

As he pondered this, soothed by the cool sensation in his mind, he gazed at the vibrant flowers vying for attention in the spring courtyard, and a sense of profound understanding welled up within him.

In a daze, in the dark and obscure.

Unbeknownst to him, he was suddenly enlightened.

One by one, the Daoist scripture of the Cloud Realm wriggled in my mind...

During this process, he seemed to see the flowers in the courtyard sprouting, blooming, withering, bearing fruit, and fading away, and he grasped a sliver of the true meaning of life...

Xiao Tao, who was standing by, was stunned by what she saw.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she sensed something different about the young master, as if he had become one with the courtyard and the flowers there.

Shaking her head, Xiao Tao shook off the inexplicable thoughts that were swirling in her mind.

"It must be because I haven't been sleeping well lately, otherwise why would I feel that the young master and the courtyard have become one?"

The blazing sun overhead gradually moved upwards.

Half an hour passed.

Xiao Tao's expression changed from indifference at the beginning to confusion, anxiety, and worry.

"What's wrong with you, young master? Why are you sitting here without moving an inch?"

She tried calling out, but the young master ignored her completely, as if he hadn't heard her.

"It's almost lunchtime..."

Just as she was thinking about whether she should shake the young master to wake him up,

Before she could even sway, Su Chen snapped out of his daze.

【Name: Su Chen (15 years old)】

【Taoist Method: Flower Blooms in an Instant - Incomplete (1%)】

[Realm Level: Mortal (11%)]

"What is this?"

Taoism?

Flowers bloom in an instant?

Su Chen was shaken.

"Because of my comprehension, I unknowingly comprehended a Taoist technique?"

"However... it's incomplete?"

Su Chen felt somewhat regretful.

Such a rare opportunity, yet he only managed to comprehend a fragmented Daoist technique.

“In the end, his comprehension is still too low, otherwise…” Su Chen shook his head and sighed.

If one has higher comprehension, one will definitely be able to comprehend the complete Dao this time!

After a moment of regret, he didn't dwell on it any longer.

Although the Dao technique of "flowers blooming in an instant" is incomplete, it now has a foundation. As long as his comprehension continues to improve, even without sudden enlightenment, he can gradually perfect it!

His attention was focused on the Taoist technique of making flowers bloom in an instant.

Su Chen was in a daze. He had a vague feeling that he could mobilize the weak magical power within his body to cast the "Flower Blooms Instantly" spell on living things.

As for the effect, he didn't know; he would have to try it out.

beside.

Xiao Tao said cautiously, "Young Master, it's almost lunchtime..."

Seeing that the young master had returned to normal, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the young master would have a relapse of his hysteria and go crazy in front of her.

If that's the case, she'll definitely be the one to blame the old man.

Su Chen glanced at her, about to say something.

Just then, he happened to see a servant walking away, grumbling and carrying a plank of wood.

Su Chen, with his sharp eyes, noticed a squeaking gray mouse stuck to the resin coating on the wooden board.

"Go, Xiao Tao, tell that person to bring that thing over here..."

He pointed.

Xiao Tao was stunned, glanced at it subconsciously, and then her face turned pale with fright.

What is the young master trying to do?

She gritted her teeth and walked over.

Soon, Xiaotao arrived here with a bewildered young servant.

Su Chen walked over, took the mousetrap, and said directly, "Alright, you can go now."

As he spoke, he walked toward the east wing, leaving Xiao Tao and the servants looking completely bewildered.
