Chapter 72: Self-Created Cultivation Method, Spirit Snake Breathing Technique!

"A new skill?"

Hearing the prompt in his mind, Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened his attribute panel to check—

Name: Lu Chuan

【Age: 2 and a half years old】

【Race: Silver Ring Snake】

【Level: Shackle Realm, 4th Stage (9 stages total) (6000/0)】

Consuming 100 Evolution Value can upgrade a Basic innate ability; consuming 500 Evolution Value can upgrade an Intermediate innate ability.】

【Evolution Points: 2400】

……

Looking at the description of the new skill on the attribute panel, Lu Chuan's expression was somewhat strange, but he soon revealed a look of surprise, "A special Breathing Method?"

The system's description of this new skill was truly a bit sloppy, but it also revealed a very important piece of information to Lu Chuan.

At this moment, he stared at the skill introduction above, his heart surging with excitement, "Could it be... that I can rely on this Breathing Method to create my own innate cultivation method?"

One must know that the difference between having a cultivation method and not having one is immense, especially as one progresses further; this gap becomes even more obvious.

It was precisely because Jiang Luoli possessed a cultivation method that she not only improved her own strength rapidly but also helped her subordinates progress at high speed, with her overall strength far exceeding that of other Ability Users.

Lu Chuan could not fail to see such obvious benefits.

However, he was also very clear in his heart that the cultivation method Jiang Luoli had published for her subordinates was only suitable for humans to practice and was of no great help to him.

"Also, that poison woman must know that cultivation methods can be leaked, so she might have added some 'ingredients' to it!"

Lu Chuan pondered this point and believed that such a thing was highly likely to happen.

After thinking it over for a while, his expression gradually became firm, "Self-creating a cultivation method is the safest!"

"System, upgrade it for me!"

The next second, Lu Chuan did not hesitate to use a portion of his Evolution Points to upgrade the skill 【A somewhat special Breathing Method (Basic)】! "Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, your skill 【A somewhat special Breathing Method (Basic)】 has been upgraded to an innate ability—Spirit Snake Breathing Technique!"

【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique: Change your breathing method to plunder Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth to nourish yourself!】

(Note: Snake-like creatures have the best results practicing this method!)

Looking at the introduction of this brand-new innate ability, the surprise in Lu Chuan's heart was beyond words; after all, a cultivation method that could absorb heaven and earth Spiritual Qi just by breathing was truly extraordinary! Once started, he would be practicing for almost twenty hours a day, never stopping! At this moment, before Lu Chuan had even recovered from his joy, he was surprised to find that his Evolution Value had actually started to increase directly.

And the system's prompt sounded once again.

"Ding!"

"The host has absorbed heaven and earth Spiritual Qi, Evolution Value increased by 0.1 points."

Lu Chuan waited patiently in curiosity and joy, discovering that relying on this cultivation method, the growth of Evolution Value was relatively slow, with a system prompt about every half a minute or so indicating an increase of 0.1, but this was better than nothing!

"Not bad, not bad, this ability is simply too profitable!"

Lu Chuan calculated slightly; if he continued to use the 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】 to practice, even if he did nothing all day, he would gain over two hundred points of Evolution Value. Thinking of this, he directly invested his Evolution Value into the 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】, and the latter immediately upgraded to Intermediate! In the time that followed, Lu Chuan kept investing Evolution Value into the 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】 to help it upgrade.

After all... this was a cultivation method, an important means related to his strength and future, so he naturally would not be stingy!

Besides, even in his past life, when he played Plants vs. Zombies, no matter the opening or the situation, the Sunflower had to be planted! "Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, your innate ability 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】 (Intermediate) has been upgraded to 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】 (Advanced)."

When Lu Chuan invested another 500 Evolution Points, the 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】 became an Advanced innate ability.

At this time, he experienced the boost this cultivation method gave him again and found that it would increase his Evolution Value by 0.1 every ten seconds or so, which was three times faster than before! "Hehe, at this rate, every day that passes, even if I do nothing, I can have over 500 points of Evolution Value!"

"The investment made in it earlier can be earned back in a single day!"

Lu Chuan was in a pleasant mood, thinking about matters related to this innate ability, "As time goes on, the benefits obtained from it will be immeasurable!"

He made a rough calculation; according to the six thousand Evolution Points needed to break through from the 4th stage to the 5th stage of the Shackle Realm, even if he didn't hunt or swallow Spirit Fruit, he could gather enough in eleven days just by using the cultivation method.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan laughed uncontrollably, "Jiang Luoli, oh Jiang Luoli, this time... you have truly given me a great gift!"

"I don't even know how to thank you!"

With the help of the cultivation method, Lu Chuan was now well-off and was exceptionally generous with his spending.

He glanced slightly at his attribute panel and upgraded 【Diamond Transformation】 to Advanced, and also upgraded the two very useful skills, 【Corrosive Venom】 and 【Blood Hunting】, to Advanced as well.

In an instant, his Evolution Points were cleared out again, but Lu Chuan was not panicked in the slightest.

"Advanced innate abilities can still be upgraded!"

At this moment, Lu Chuan suddenly noticed this point, but after looking closely, he realized the cost was not small, "To upgrade an Advanced innate ability, it actually takes three thousand Evolution Points!"

"Although it is a bit much, judging from previous experiences, once these innate abilities are upgraded, the changes will definitely be huge!"

He couldn't help but feel some anticipation.

Come to think of it, once an innate ability reaches Advanced, it is already complete; will the next step of upgrading cause the ability to mutate? "Share the blessings; since my own strength has improved, I cannot ignore my little brothers, otherwise we will fall out of sync."

"Xiaoqing, Jingang……"

Thinking this way, Lu Chuan summoned several of his subordinates and personally taught them the 【Spirit Snake Breathing Technique】! Although this cultivation method was most suitable for snake-like creatures to practice, it could also be practiced by beasts and humans, just not as quickly.

Therefore, when the Fire Leopard was the first to feel the boost brought by the cultivation method, it was immediately excited, "Boss, this... this..."

"This method is too good, Boss is really good to us!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

"Boss is mighty!"

"……"

For a time, all the Beast subordinates were excited, expressing their gratitude and reverence to Lu Chuan one after another.

In the days that followed, everything in the Qinling Mountains was very calm, and nothing major happened.

Perhaps because the humans knew that the Beasts had already started excavating the Underground Palace, they did not send anyone to disturb them in these past few days.

Lu Chuan's core subordinate—Jingang, finally succeeded in breaking through, becoming a Beast of the Shackle Realm.

Its strength, when placed among Lu Chuan and the host of Beasts, could be said to be unremarkable, but if it were placed on an ordinary mountain, it would be a Beast King of that region! (End of chapter)
