Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1651 - 381: Du Zundao: Chen, Chen94 How Could You Be This Strong!_2

Ordinary cultivators only absorb a tiny amount and convert a tiny amount; nothing like Chen Jie, who swallows it like a whale—one gulp of Spiritual Energy equals half a month's cultivation for outsiders.

Thus, there's zero waiting for the Spiritual Energy to convert.

Earlier, when I mentioned Du Zundao needing a few months to cultivate, it had a condition: Du Zundao requires massive quantities of Tai Sui Pills during cultivation. Relying solely on his Martial Arts talent to draw in external Spiritual Energy would take him an entire year.

This marks the second reason Chen Jie completed his cultivation in just two or three hours.

The third reason stems from Chen Jie himself: he practices both internal and external methods—internally with the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, externally with the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms.

Internal training demands opening the governor and conception vessels; external training requires unblocking the yin and yang linking vessels in the hands and feet.

By training both internally and externally, Chen Jie directly opened all Eight Extraordinary Meridians, exactly as required by the Qiankun Great Method—all eight meridians unblocked.

However, for internal cultivation like Du Zundao's, opening all Eight Extraordinary Meridians isn't necessary—those yin and yang linking vessels through the limbs are entirely redundant.

Therefore, internal cultivators usually open only six meridians, since six suffices.

It doesn't prevent them from growing stronger. Who wastes time unblocking those yin and yang linking meridians—these peripheral leftover channels? All effort for zero gain.

Yet the Qiankun Great Method demands them, so types like Du Zundao must figure out how to reopen the yin and yang linking vessels when practicing it. Unblocking these minor meridians isn't overly demanding, but it still requires at least a month of steady, grinding work.

Chen Jie bypassed that time as well.

That's how he accomplished advancing the Qiankun Great Method to the Fourth Layer in a mere three hours.

It was truly the perfect convergence of time, place, and person—miss any element, and it wouldn't have succeeded.

Chen Jie stood, gazing at the Spiritual Energy hovering over the Central Island outside; it had thinned considerably, a full layer sparser than when he first arrived.

It appears he had devoured it all.

The results speak for themselves: not only did he regain his skills, his power surged to a new height; he broke through directly to the Molten Furnace Upper Realm.

What a tremendous breakthrough—Molten Furnace Upper Realm. Chen Jie clenched his fist; factoring in the Qiankun Great Method's ferocity, along with killer techniques like the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, his true combat strength now reaches Half-step Furnace level.

This power is precisely the chief aim of Chen Jie's journey to Bright Peak.

And now the objective is... achieved just like that?

Feels freaking incredible.

Glancing around, Chen Jie reflected that this place is truly a treasure trove.

It's a shame he must depart.

A twinge of reluctance hit him toward leaving this treasure land, but after a quick think, he resolved not to return empty-handed. He first withdrew the Qiankun Great Method's original manual, leafed through it, then slipped it into his Storage Ring.

Next, Chen Jie eyed the golden mat he'd sat upon—now that's a premium treasure.

You don't notice its wonder until seated, but once he did, its excellence shone through, so he didn't hesitate and pocketed this sect-guarding treasure that had protected the Zoroastrian Sect for centuries.

After all, with Little Ming King’s present strength, even if left here for him, it'd take over ten years before he could make use of it by sitting. In that case, better for Chen Jie to grab the benefit first. When Little Ming King finally arrives and sees the mat missing...

What does that have to do with me? It's not like I took it.

Chen Jie’s lips curved into a smirk. A treasure already in my grasp, and you want it back? Keep dreaming.

Moreover, does this mat even belong to you, Little Ming King? It belongs to Founder King Mao Ziyuan. If you want it, get Mao Ziyuan to demand it personally.

With that in mind, Chen Jie, completely without remorse, tucked away this treasure secretly handed down for hundreds of years through the Zoroastrian Sect's Sect Hierarch lineage—a golden mat treasure originating from the former Buddhist Sect Pure Land Sect.

Having done all this, Chen Jie still felt his grueling trip deserved more than heading back empty-handed.

Right now, his eyes fell on the Jade table and Jade chairs before him. He hadn't spotted it earlier, but this look revealed the Jade to be genuine Thousand-Year-Old Cold Ice Jade. Cultivating upon these Jade chairs could enhance your cultivation—making them a solid treasure for boosting skills.

Its effect mirrors Little Dragon Girl’s Cold Ice Jade Bed from Return of the Condor Heroes.

Chen Jie aimed to claim both the table and chairs, yet the table's massive size exceeded his storage space's capacity. With no better option, he finally managed to cram just one Ice Jade Chair inside.

With that done, Chen Jie peered down at the pond beneath the pavilion. Koi still glided through the water. Small in size, each brimmed with abundant Spiritual Energy.

Chen Jie’s eyes gleamed at once.

These koi seemed insanely nourishing. That idea struck him, so he fetched a water jar from his Storage Ring, scooped in some water, dove into the pond, and seized the koi—two per grab—snagging over a dozen.

Frightened, the leftover small koi all burrowed into rock crevices. Spotting this, Chen Jie held back from chasing them relentlessly and instead eyed the lotuses in the pond.

Thriving amid such thick Spiritual Energy, these lotuses had drawn in heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy plus the sun and moon's essence, inevitably transforming into prized medicinal treasures.

Chen Jie stepped up and harvested a heap of lotuses, grabbing extra lotus seeds in particular.

Following Chen Jie’s frenzy of looting, the site once radiating Immortal Energy and fairy-like allure got flipped completely by him. One idiom nails it: "burning zither and cooking crane, utterly ruining the scenery"—the ideal label for Chen Jie in this instant.

Chen Jie, needless to say, couldn’t have cared less. Pretty as this spot might be, it wasn’t his lair. After he departs, a lifetime might pass without returning. So what if your hills and waters dazzle—if I can shove it into my pocket, that’s true beauty.
