Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 152 The True Fire of Samadhi

"It seems you've realized it too." Han Kexin adjusted her sunglasses. "That's what I was looking for when I searched repeatedly in the palace."

"Have you found any clues?" Qin Xiaochuan asked hurriedly, his eyes regaining hope. Since Han Kexin mentioned this, she must have made some discoveries.

"No," Han Kexin replied again indifferently.

"Sigh, that's the same as saying nothing at all." After being disappointed several times, Qin Xiaochuan felt even more distressed.

Seeing Qin Xiaochuan sighing, Han Kexin spoke again: "However, it is said that the royal family of the ancient witch clan usually used Samadhi Fire during sacrifices, so they would inscribe the secret manual of Samadhi Fire on the altar, and then pass it down from generation to generation of high priests."

"An altar? Isn't the altar beneath the statue of Nuwa in the Land of Witchcraft? I remember there were indeed many inscriptions on that altar, and you even took pictures of it back then. Could it be that..." Qin Xiaochuan suddenly stopped, looking at Han Kexin strangely, "You're not deliberately trying to raise my hopes again, are you, to throw cold water on them and crush my hopes?"

"No," Han Kexin replied calmly.

"So that means the inscription really is the secret manual of Samadhi True Fire?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Han Kexin excitedly, hoping she would give him a clear answer.

Han Kexin pushed her sunglasses up to her forehead, calmly looking at Qin Xiaochuan. After a long while, she slowly uttered two words: "Not bad."

Unable to hide his excitement, Qin Xiaochuan's face immediately lit up. Then he couldn't help but complain, "Since you've already found the method for the Samadhi True Fire, why keep it a secret? It made my mood feel like I was on a rollercoaster."

"I'd like to," Han Kexin said nonchalantly.

"Alright, alright, whatever makes you happy." Qin Xiaochuan was now in need of someone's help, so he had no choice but to put aside his pride and face, put his hands together, and flattered Han Kexin, saying, "Then could you pass on the Samadhi True Fire technique to me, beautiful Han?"

"Stop being so glib." Han Kexin rolled her eyes at Qin Xiaochuan's fawning attitude and said coldly, "Those inscriptions are written in ancient oracle bone script. The characters are simple, and some meanings are not clear. They are still being deciphered. I will give them to you after I have completely deciphered them. Your task now is to quickly practice the technique of fusing different spiritual power attributes. This requires you to have a higher level of mastery over spiritual power, which is not an easy task."

"That's true." Qin Xiaochuan nodded seriously. He had just tried to improve his fireball technique, but he hadn't succeeded even once. It seems that you have to lay a solid foundation for doing anything, otherwise even if you have the Samadhi True Fire technique, you won't be able to use it.

He looked at Han Kexin and asked, "Are there any tips or shortcuts?"

"The biggest shortcut is to practice repeatedly and try and fail boldly. All skills are discovered through practice." Han Kexin rolled her eyes at him.

"Mhm." Qin Xiaochuan nodded seriously, immediately abandoning the idea of ​​taking a shortcut.

Just then, Xiaoying ran over with a bottle of juice and handed it to Han Kexin. Although it was early spring and the sun wasn't too glaring, standing in the sun for a long time inevitably made one feel a bit hot. Looking at the juice in Han Kexin's hand, Qin Xiaochuan also felt a bit thirsty and said to Xiaoying, "Xiaoying, can you get Uncle a bottle of soda too?"

Hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Han Kexin turned to look at him, her gaze somewhat strange: "Don't you feel any guilt ordering around a nine-year-old girl like this?"

"Didn't you say she's still growing?" Qin Xiaochuan said with a grin.

Xiaoying pouted in dissatisfaction: "Uncle, why didn't you say anything earlier?"

I only made one trip.

"Uh, I didn't feel thirsty just now," Qin Xiaochuan said awkwardly.

"Hmph, Uncle Xiaochuan, you're bullying me."

"I didn't," Qin Xiaochuan hurriedly said. "How could Uncle bear to bully Xiaoying?"

"I don't care anyway," the little girl persisted, mimicking an adult's tone, "unless you can show your sincerity."

"What sincerity?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but chuckle, looking at her with great interest.

Xiaoying rolled her eyes and said, "Could you bring me the shovel for digging sand? I want to dig sand here, that would show your sincerity."

"Uh..." Qin Xiaochuan didn't expect that instead of ordering Cheng Xiaoying around, he was the one being ordered around.

Seeing that Qin Xiaochuan remained silent, Xiaoying immediately pouted and said, "Uncle Xiaochuan really isn't very sincere."

"No...nowhere," Qin Xiaochuan said, both amused and exasperated. "I'll get Xiaoying's shovel right now." With that, he walked helplessly toward the wooden house.

"Don't forget the sand bucket," Xiaoying reminded her from behind, "and the toy car too."

Watching Qin Xiaochuan's departing figure, Han Kexin's face revealed a rare, meaningful smile.

-----------------

"Fireball!" Qin Xiaochuan shouted, slamming a fireball onto a rock on the beach.

Bang! With a muffled sound, the fireball dissipated. Although the rock remained motionless, a small, shallow crater was left on it. This was the result of Qin Xiaochuan infusing the fireball with metal-type spiritual power. Compared to the previous fireball, which could only leave a ring of black burn marks on the surface of the rock, the improved fireball had a significant increase in power.

"I did it!" Qin Xiaochuan said excitedly. He quickly ran to Han Kexin and said to her, "I did it! Go and check if my improvements are up to standard."

Han Kexin was dozing on a beach chair when she heard Qin Xiaochuan's words. She looked up at him and said indifferently, "I'm too lazy to move. Take a picture and show it to me."

"You're so lazy," Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but complain, but he still ran over, took a picture with his phone, and showed it to her.

Han Kexin looked at the photo and said to him, "Show me your skill again."

Qin Xiaochuan then unleashed another modified fireball spell and asked expectantly, "How was it? Did I pass? Can I start practicing the Samadhi True Fire technique now?"

Han Kexin didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "How long did it take you to unleash your skill just now?"

"About three seconds?"

"What about casting Fireball earlier?"

"With my current skill and proficiency, I can cast it almost instantly; it doesn't take any time at all," Qin Xiaochuan replied truthfully.

"Do you think the enemy will give you three seconds to unleash your skills in battle?" Han Kexin asked coldly.

"Uh, that's definitely not the case..." Qin Xiaochuan already understood what Han Kexin meant.

"Keep practicing. Make this fireball spell even more powerful, and come find me again when you can cast it instantly." Han Kexin finished speaking, tossed her phone to Qin Xiaochuan, and went back to sleep with her eyes half-closed.

Qin Xiaochuan opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing the other party's attitude, he had no choice but to swallow his words and obediently walked to the side to continue improving his fireball technique and increasing his proficiency through constant practice.
