33: Seeking cultivation techniques

By the next day, Chenyang City had basically returned to normal.

Apart from the atmosphere still being somewhat heavy, everyone had started going about their own business.

After all, the disaster had passed, but life still had to go on...

Several schools, including the No. 1 Middle School, also quickly resumed classes.

When Chu Yuan found Qi Da in the office, he was flustered and giving instructions through his terminal.

After hanging up the communication, he looked at Chu Yuan, and his expression softened.

"Something up?"

Chu Yuan nodded, not standing on ceremony. "Principal, is there any way for you to get a good Cultivation Technique?"

Qi Da was clearly surprised, his expression puzzled. "What kind of Cultivation Technique are you talking about?"

"Of course, one that can be Cultivated normally. It doesn't matter what Realm it ends at, but the quality must be high."

"Normally Cultivated..." Qi Da muttered. "What Cultivation Technique are you currently Cultivating?"

Chu Yuan organized his words and said, "It's considered an upgraded version of the Quenching Origin Technique? It's not enough anymore."

Hearing this, Qi Da frowned.

To be honest, if Chu Yuan had asked for some Martial Artist resources, he wouldn't have been surprised.

But a Cultivation Technique... why would he be lacking a Cultivation Technique?

Could it be that the existence behind him hadn't provided him with one?

He had originally suspected that there was an expert behind Chu Yuan, and after he cracked the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array, Qi Da became even more convinced of this idea.

It was just that they had tacitly agreed not to ask...

"What's wrong, Principal? Is it inconvenient?" Chu Yuan was also a bit nervous, thinking to himself, should he lower his requirements? He wouldn't ask for the strongest, just something decent would do...

"It's not inconvenient, I'll think of a way." Qi Da shook his head quickly. Regardless of the reason why Chu Yuan lacked a Cultivation Technique, since he had asked him, he would find a way to get it for him.

It wasn't just because of Chu Yuan's talent, but also because he saved Chenyang City.

It was already very unfair to Chu Yuan that others didn't know about his meritorious deeds, so Qi Da felt he had to compensate him in other areas.

However, No. 1 Middle School really didn't have any decent Cultivation Techniques... because they weren't needed, so they hadn't prepared any.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Da dialed a communication on his terminal.

A few seconds later, the communication was connected, and a voice that was imposing without being angry came from the terminal.

"Something up?"

Qi Da's posture straightened inadvertently, and his tone became respectful. "Teacher, I would like to ask, do you have any high-quality Cultivation Techniques on hand?"

"Mainly for... the practice of a Martial Artist in the Inner Breath Realm."

"It doesn't matter what Realm it can ultimately reach, the key is that the quality must be high..."

"Who is going to use it?"

"A student..."

"Your disciple?"

"Uh..." Qi Da glanced at Chu Yuan and said in a low voice, "That's not it, he just has good talent."

"Then why are you meddling? Are you idle?"

"If the talent is good, just apply for resources according to the procedure."

Qi Da was a bit embarrassed. "No... Teacher, just consider it doing me a favor..."

"... I don't have the kind of Cultivation Technique you're talking about."

"But I know there is one in the Zhenwu Bureau's Cultivation Technique library."

"The quality is extremely high, but it can only be Cultivated up to the Fifth Realm."

"Fifth Realm? Why?" Qi Da was a bit surprised; he didn't expect that there really was one.

Because the revival of the Martial Dao in this world did not rely on archaeology; there were no such things as ancient Incomplete Manuals.

Basically, all Cultivation Techniques were created by generations of Seniors, and they were complete in themselves.

If a Cultivation Technique was of extremely high quality, it must be able to be Cultivated to a profound Realm.

The person on the other side explained indifferently, "Because the creator died before he could perfect the subsequent Cultivation Technique."

"... The Zhenwu Bureau's Cultivation Technique library, can I exchange for it with my merits?"

"Exchange for it, my foot... No, wait, if you include the merits from this time in Chenyang City, you should be able to exchange for it."

"Then, Teacher..."

"Keep those few merits of yours. Let me think... I will contact the Zhenwu Bureau to hold a Secret Realm trial, and use the Cultivation Technique as a prize."

"If the kid you value is really that talented, let him go grab it himself!"

"..." Just as Qi Da was about to argue, the other party said again, "That's settled. I have things to do, hanging up now."

Qi Da didn't ask what matters; with his teacher's level, things he called matters were usually confidential...

"Thank you. I'll go visit you and Shimu when I have time."

"Wait until you have made a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm before you come to see me." After dropping this sentence, the other party hung up the communication.

Chu Yuan blinked. He didn't expect his principal to have backing? And it looked quite reliable...

Qi Da was a bit embarrassed and helpless. If he had known, he would have made this call in private.

Then Chu Yuan wouldn't have heard everything...

"You heard it? The Cultivation Technique is ready, but you have to go seize it yourself..." There was some apology in Qi Da's voice.

"It's okay, Principal, I understand." Chu Yuan comforted him instead.

The other party asked Qi Da from the start if he was his disciple... clearly to determine if he was 'one of their own.'

If he wasn't one of their own, why would anyone waste their own resources to help you?

It was just that Qi Da's weight in the other person's eyes was perhaps not light, so being unable to refuse, he took this compromise.

"Is there anything else you need?"

"I also need a sword... I saw a long sword in Zhenlong Pavilion before, it cost over ten million."

"How about... Principal, could you lend me some money?" Chu Yuan probed.

"... No, why didn't you think of this when you were controlling the Grand Array earlier?" Qi Da lowered his voice, feeling somewhat frustrated that his expectations were not met.

Chu Yuan understood in a second. "I didn't have the time to think about this back then, and besides, taking advantage of a crisis isn't good, right..."

"How can that be called taking advantage of a crisis? If it weren't for you, this branch of Zhenlong Pavilion wouldn't have been able to save their people or their goods."

"Having saved them, what's wrong with taking some compensation?"

"For a profiteering organization like Zhenlong Pavilion, taking a bite or two is fine..."

"Then next time there's a chance..."

"No, no, no, it's best if there isn't a next time." Qi Da waved his hand quickly, then hesitated for a moment, rubbing the ring on his finger.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared in his hand.

"Don't buy it, use this one."

Chu Yuan's eyes burned, as if he hadn't seen the long sword Qi Da was handing over, staring firmly at Qi Da's ring.

"Principal... is this a storage ring?"

"Yeah." Qi Da replied, suddenly feeling a bit alert. "... You wouldn't happen to want a storage ring too, right?"

Chu Yuan praised, "Principal, you really are brilliant; my little thoughts really can't be hidden from you!"

"... I'll think of a way, the main issue with this thing is that the permissions are hard to get..."

Qi Da's responsiveness actually made Chu Yuan feel a bit embarrassed.

He scratched his head. "Uh, actually, it's fine without it."

Qi Da waved his hand generously. "It's fine, it's just a lousy ring..."

"By the way, do you still have any of those beads?"
