"This technique is called the 'Flame Mantra.' Although it appears to be just a Yellow Rank technique on the surface, it has the potential to evolve into a Heaven Rank technique one day."
Yao Chen understood that ordinary things held no attraction for someone like Xiao Chong. Therefore, he presented the most precious and valuable item he had in his possession.
"Is this the technique that evolves by devouring different types of heavenly flames?"
Without much thought, Xiao Chong opened the scroll handed to him by Yao Chen and began to study its contents. His innate, heaven-defying comprehension ability quickly kicked into gear.
[Through observing the 'Flame Mantra,' you have discerned its flaws and contemplated whether the technique could be improved.]
[However, relying solely on devouring different heavenly flames might be too narrow-minded, with a high difficulty and danger coefficient.]
[The new technique, 'Heaven-Embracing Technique,' can absorb any strange energy from the world, including different heavenly flames, but is not limited to them.]
As this familiar voice echoed in his mind, Xiao Chong held the Flame Mantra in one hand, carefully examining its contents.
With the other hand, he used his Dou Qi to manipulate a brush and scroll he had taken out from his storage ring, as if he were writing something new.
Yao Chen puzzled and asked, "Xiao Yan, what is your brother doing?"
"Big brother is researching and improving the technique."
"This isn't the first time he's done this. Sometimes, just by looking at a Yellow Rank or even a Black Rank technique, he can transform it into an Earth Rank technique."
"Big brother also said that if he had seen a Heaven Rank technique firsthand, he could even upgrade it directly to that level."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan couldn't help but scratch his head.
Both of them had reincarnated, so why was his brother's comprehension ability so much stronger?
And his charm with women was also enviable.
Truly, it was something to be jealous of.
But when Yao Chen heard Xiao Yan's words, he was immediately taken aback.
Improving techniques—Yao Chen had heard of such things before. However, those capable of modifying others' techniques had typically spent many years mastering a particular technique, gaining their own insights, and possessing sufficient strength to alter it.
According to Xiao Yan, Xiao Chong's method of improving techniques didn't follow this process at all. He could enhance them immediately upon receiving them.
Moreover, the Flame Mantra was no ordinary technique! 'Could it be that I've been unconscious for tens of thousands of years? This child is simply too monstrous!'
For a moment, as he watched Xiao Chong, Yao Chen began to doubt himself.
"Can he even modify the 'Flame Mantra'? This technique is far from ordinary!"
"Indeed, it's not ordinary. Usually, big brother would have finished modifying it by now. It seems like it will take him some time to improve this technique."
Xiao Yan's words once again made Yao Chen purse his lips in disbelief. But now, he understood why the Xiao family, despite having a genius who was born a Dou Huang, had chosen to live in seclusion for twelve years.
If it weren't for Xiao Chong's abilities, Elder Yao could confidently say that any powerhouse on the Dou Qi Continent would be astounded! Modifying cultivation techniques, creating grafting methods, thereby enabling the creation of ninth-grade medicinal herbs, and even possessing the ability to accelerate the growth of biochemical herbs.
These abilities are likely not even the full extent of what Xiao Chong possesses.
If he hadn't secluded himself for these twelve years, allowing Xiao Chong to fully develop his skills, it's probable that if news of Xiao Chong were to spread across the Central Continent, no one would be able to protect him. After a short while, Xiao Chong remained reclined in his chair, continuing to modify the technique in his hands.
It seemed that Xiao Chong would need a few more hours to complete the modification of this technique, so Elder Yao and Xiao Yan decided to wait here.
Xiao Yan and Elder Yao were also happy to continue staying in this medicinal field. The life energy here was incredibly dense, and Elder Yao even wished he could stay here twenty-four hours a day.
After nearly half a day had passed, Xiao Chong, who had been sitting like an old man, finally let out a long sigh and said, "It's no wonder it's called the 'Flame Mantra.' This is the first time I've spent so much time modifying a technique."
Previously, when modifying the combat techniques of the Xiao family, Xiao Chong had only taken a few minutes to complete them. Of course, this might be because the level of those techniques was too low.
After finishing the modification, Xiao Chong tossed both the 'Flame Mantra' and the modified 'Heaven Absorption Technique' to Elder Yao and Xiao Yan, explaining the direction he had taken with the modifications.
"I've enhanced the upper limit of this technique. There are so many strange energies in the world, such as energy tides, energy storms, and ninth-grade golden lightning. These exceptionally vast energies can also be absorbed and evolved."
"I've slightly adjusted this technique to allow you to simultaneously absorb and store these enormous and dangerous energies while also enabling them to mutually constrain each other, coexisting within a single body."
"Moreover, relatively speaking, it's not as dangerous."
Hearing Xiao Chong casually hand over a technique that could drive the entire Dou Qi Continent into a frenzy, Elder Yao's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Xiao Yan, too, trembled as he grasped the technique, his emotions nearly overwhelming him as he asked, "Brother, aren't you going to cultivate this technique?"
"No need, I have something better."
"After all, I'm not like you, who has a fire attribute. I have no attribute for it at all."
The technique he cultivates is the 'Cosmic Circulation Technique,' which can eventually transform Dou Qi into Chaos Qi, transcending all attributes.
All nothingness is Chaos, and no attribute can surpass the nothingness of Chaos.
Additionally, because Xiao Chong altered his bone structure while still in the womb, Elder Yao sees him as a freak who can be close to any attribute.
Furthermore, Xiao Chong isn't without gains. After completing the modification of such a technique, Xiao Chong can also operate the 'Heaven Absorption Technique' to absorb all the powerful energies in the world.
However, in the hearts of Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, they couldnt disbelieved it! In their eyes, Xiao Chong had clearly given up his own opportunity to cultivate this technique and instead handed it over to Xiao Yan.
For a moment, Yao Chen also looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Chong with a somewhat peculiar gaze, sighing inwardly.
He knew all too well that his disciple had once betrayed his master for the sake of the 'Flame Mantra.' Yet now, after the technique had been transformed into an even more powerful version, Xiao Chong still chose to pass it on to his younger brother.
Even Xiao Yan, upon receiving the technique, had a flicker of emotion in his eyes. He solemnly clasped his fists and said, "Thanks, you bastard."
