Chapter 36: The Improved Technique

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Don’t mess with me, this little guy doesn’t look like he’s rich?’ 

Zhou Ji carefully glanced at this 14- to 15-year-old underage boy, a little worried that if he did this person’s business, would his parents rush over and demand a refund? 

“The improvement technique, ah, then what grade of improvement do you want? From 100 crystals to 1000 crystals is our range, it depends on what grade you want.” 

100… to 1000 crystals? 

Sun Ming thought of the few crystals in his account, and for a moment, he was a little dazed. 

“But… but how can I confirm that you won’t lie to me? What if the cultivation method that you’ve modified doesn’t have any improvement…” 

“Live teaching, guaranteed teaching. If it doesn’t work, then refund the money.” Zhou Ji raised his chin. “Kid, this is a big deal. Why don’t you go home and let your parents talk about it?” 

Let his parents do the talking? Sun Ming quickly shook his head and said, “I don’t need my parents. I can do it. If you can guarantee the quality…” 

As he said that, he looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then, he moved in front of Zhou Ji and took out a jade talisman from his pocket. 

“This record is an intermediate level qi-raising and essence-raising method. When I bought it, I spent 1,000 crystals. I can let you burn a copy and make it worth 500 crystals. Boss, what do you think?” 

Zhou Ji looked at the little brat in front of him. He seemed to be a fool and bold. A middle-tier qi-raising and essence-gathering technique? You really believe that your parents told you that they only bought it for 1,000 crystals! 

“You’re lucky you met a good person like me. If you want to give it to another guy, he’ll probably report it to you on the spot!” 

Zhou Ji took out a blank recording jade talisman from his storage bag and stuck the two jade talismans together to input his spiritual essence. In just a few breaths, this cultivation technique was carved out by him. Zhou Ji used his consciousness to glance at this cultivation technique. It was not bad. 

There were three entries in this cultivation technique. The first two were white in color, and they were respectively a slight increase in spiritual essence recovery and a slight increase in wind element affinity. The third one was green in color, which increased the speed of spiritual essence absorption and increased the speed of spiritual essence circulation, among these entries, the one about increasing the speed of spiritual essence circulation was worth paying more attention to and learning. In essence, it seemed to be similar to increasing the speed of casting spells. 

The overall effect might not even be comparable to some top-grade low-level cultivation methods. It was estimated that when the little boy’s parents bought it, they were only fooled by the “cheap middle-level cultivation method” gimmick. 

After confirming the cultivation method, Zhou Ji’s gaze fell on the guy in front of him. “Tell me, what do you want to improve?” 

“My cultivation method. I want a blow-out cultivation method.” 

Sun Ming saw that Zhou Ji agreed and quickly took out another booklet. 

‘A blow-out cultivation method?’ 

Zhou Ji took it and studied it carefully. This was a special cultivation method. It was a different concept compared to common cultivation methods like wind blades. What Zhou Ji saw was rarely used, so he didn’t pay too much attention to collecting it. 

Fortunately, in theory, the two were common, and for these low-and middle-level techniques, he could mostly understand the effects without relying on the technique editor. Of course, in Zhou Ji’s learning system, he still classified these effects according to the entries. 

[Wind Blow Technique] 

[Low-level technique, creates small whirlwinds, hinders movement and causes some damage.] 

There were two white terms in total. One was to increase toughness, and the other was to increase the speed of the whirlwinds. 

The wind techniques that he had come into contact with before were all weapons that condensed wind into various types of wind textures. This kind of technique that could directly harm the enemy was obviously different from what he knew. 

However, although he didn’t know much, Zhou Ji quickly understood the key after reading the spell. 

This technique developed the characteristic of the wind element itself, speed. The whirlwind was fast enough and big enough to evolve into a tornado and crash directly into the crowd. Who dared to say that this thing didn’t hurt? 

Zhou Ji thought so and began to improve the technique. 

“The attributes of this technique itself are not bad. Do you want to consider adding another five hundred for me to upgrade it to a middle-tier technique?” 

Holding a pen, Zhou Ji wrote and drew on a notebook. 

Sun Ming shook his head cautiously. Although he also wanted to, he had nothing to give now. 

Seeing this, Zhou Ji didn’t say anything else. It was just an improvement of five hundred crystals. He didn’t need to give him too many improvements. He just needed to strengthen the effects of the two entries to green. 

Of course, even though he said that he would change the entries, when he officially changed it, it was actually to change the way the spirit energy circulated and so on. Moreover, Zhou Ji had to take care of the circulation channels of the male student’s cultivation techniques and try to combine the two as much as possible. In this way, the circulation of the cultivation method would be smoother, and the power would have a small increase in all aspects. 

The improvement work continued for half an hour. During this time, Zhou Ji was still trying to circulate the cultivation method. The size of the whirlwind around him made Sun Ming envious. 

“Alright, give it a try. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me.” 

Zhou Ji threw the revised cultivation method to the male student in front of him, indicating for him to go to the cultivation room at the back. 

In the Cultivation Room, Sun Ming couldn’t wait to start cultivating. Perhaps it was because of psychological factors, he always felt that the revised technique was much easier to learn and operate. He silently memorized the technique, and a few breaths later, a small tornado with a diameter of half a meter appeared in front of Sun Ming. 

He looked at the tornado in surprise, and his consciousness controlled its movement to the left and right. Before he could get close to himself, he felt the wind force spreading out from it, making his face hurt! 

This, this, this… it was really strengthened! The power and speed of its execution had both increased! In the past, his wind blowing technique could only blow the opponent away, but now, he could be sure that if he were to practice with that person in class again, he would definitely not be curled up until his skin was split open! 

“Thank you, Boss! I’ll be leaving First!” 

In less than ten minutes, Sun Ming ran out of the cultivation room. His face could not help but be filled with excitement. 

“Hey! Wait a minute, there’s something else!” 

Zhou Ji waved his hand and the door closed. The little boy was so shocked that his face immediately turned pale. 

“Boss… I don’t have any money for you here…” 

Sun Ming thought that the boss was going to charge him more money. 

“What are you thinking?” Zhou Ji rolled his eyes and gently tapped the table. “I just noticed that your cultivation method is called qi raising and essence absorption method. However, I found that the speed of your cultivation just now didn’t meet the standard of the cultivation method. So you might not have a complete grasp of it. Do you want me to give you some guidance?” 

“This…” 

“It’s not free.” 

Zhou Ji did not even need to look at the little boy to guess what he wanted to say. 

“But I don’t have any more crystals…” 

Sun Ming’s expression darkened. 

“I can also not charge you. You should be that student of the Bai Clan School, right? How about this, you introduce ten guests to me, and I’ll teach you this cultivation technique.” 

Ten customers? 

Sun Ming recalled his few companions, but it seemed that he couldn’t gather enough for ten. 

“I’ll go and try first. Boss, this promise of yours has always been effective, right?” 

Sun Ming looked at Zhou Ji with doubt. 

“Yes, you can tell them to come here to look for Boss Zhou. Tell them that you introduced them. I’ll give them a 10% discount,” Zhou Ji said. “Oh right, what’s your name?” 

“My name is Sun Ming. I will recommend my classmates to come here. At that time, they will say that it was Sun Ming who recommended me! Boss Zhou, you have to remember this clearly. When there are enough people, I will look for you!” 

The boy’s interest was high again..
