36: SSS-level secret skill—Nine-fold lightning strike!

“Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. It’s fine if you don’t want it,” Sima Hui said with a smile.

Guo Feng quickly said, “No, I want it! But, I need to put it on credit!”

“On credit?” Sima Hui frowned. “Yes, but it’ll cost more!!”

Guo Feng’s mouth twitched. “How much more?”

“Five hundred thousand per technique!” Sima Hui said with a smile.

“Slick!” Guo Feng understood that the higher one’s position, the more cunning they were!

However, money truly wasn’t an issue for him.

He immediately nodded, “Alright, it’s a deal!”

“Young man, you’ve got strength.” Sima Hui gave a thumbs-up, then said, “Let’s talk about the Guiding Technique first.”

“The Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique you learned is the most basic cultivation method for absorbing spiritual energy, and it’s the bottom line that ancient martial artists are willing to share for free.”

“However, its efficiency is actually pretty decent.”

“But, the further you go, the more frustrating it will probably become.”

“For example, Meng Yao, to go from Level 26 to Level 27, theoretically needs to absorb 49 spiritual energy primordial stones.”

“And with her S-level talent, even though she can absorb one in eight or nine hours, it’s impossible for her to cultivate continuously. She’d still need about fifty days to level up.”

“And the further she goes, the more she’ll need.”

“This is still because she has S-level talent, a standout in a large city who can be counted on two hands.”

“You should also know that D-level is the most common.”

“Theoretically, it takes them six days to absorb one spiritual energy primordial stone, but in reality, it takes about ten days.”

“To go from Level 26 to Level 27, it would take them a year and a half to level up.”

“This is still assuming they have spiritual energy primordial stones available.”

As Sima Hui said this, Guo Feng suddenly felt that cultivating with the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique had its limitations.

Many people, perhaps, would reach their peak at Level 20-something in their entire lives.

“And what I’m going to teach you is the Xuan Huang True Dragon Art, which only high-ranking officers of our Lingneng Army can learn. It’s a relatively overbearing cultivation method, internally rated A-level.”

Sima Hui continued, “It’s much more powerful than the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique. It will cultivate Xuan Huang Qi, enhancing the destructive power of your moves. Moreover, it can also increase your Qi refining efficiency.”

“It has a total of nine levels.”

“The efficiency ranges from two to ten times that of the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique, and the more profound your cultivation, the stronger the destructive power of your Xuan Huang Qi.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Guo Feng, “How about it? One point five million, not a loss, right?”

“Ah, this…” Guo Feng was incredibly excited!

This Xuan Huang True Dragon Art, it’s actually so amazing?

Putting aside the issue of destructive power, just talking about cultivation efficiency, reaching the ninth level, it’s actually ten times that of the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique?

In other words, S-level individuals would absorb one spiritual energy primordial stone in less than an hour?

What about SS-level and SSS-level talents?

He quickly nodded, “Not a loss, not a loss!”

“I also think it’s not a loss!” Sima Hui smiled. “This cultivation method has a total of nine levels. There are nine cultivation methods! The first level I’m selling to you for one point one five million. Once you reach the peak of the first level, come back to me to buy the second level. Don’t worry, the second level will only be two million, and the price will increase incrementally after that.”

“I…” Guo Feng’s mouth twitched.

Sima Hui is truly a cunning merchant!

But it really sounds very appealing.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

He quickly nodded, “Alright, I’ll take this cultivation method. What about the ultimate technique?”

Sima Hui’s mouth curved upwards, a look of satisfaction on his face, then he said, “I use a saber, and I practice the Ninefold Thunder Strike. However, it’s not lightning-attributed; it just means the saber technique is very fast.”

“Ninefold Thunder Strike?!” Hearing that name, Meng Yao’s face was filled with shock.

Then, she gave Sima Hui a meaningful look.

Because Sima Hui actually had many other ultimate techniques.

But this one was the strongest!

Upon hearing this, Guo Feng looked at Meng Yao: “Sister Meng Yao, is this saber technique very impressive?”

Meng Yao said exasperatedly, “This is currently the only SSS-level saber technique in the world. What do you think?”

“That impressive? I want to learn it!” Upon hearing this, Guo Feng immediately nodded. Even if Sima Hui was an even more cunning merchant later, he still wanted to learn it.

SSS-level! It sounds formidable!

“No problem.” Sima Hui smiled. “However, think carefully. An SSS-level saber technique is very strong, but very difficult.”

“It’s also very easy to become obsessed with.”

“If you get deeply entangled and can’t break through, you might waste a lot of time.”

He smiled, “Let me put it this way: if it weren’t for cultivating this ultimate technique, I would be at least Level 70 by now. Do you still want to learn it?”

“Yes!” Guo Feng said without hesitation.

Firstly, if he didn’t learn an SSS-level saber technique, would he be a fool?

Secondly, he still remembered the enlightenment spiritual fruit in the system store.

Would eating this spiritual fruit help him learn the saber technique?

Probably!

“Alright.” Sima Hui smiled. “Then I’ll first impart the cultivation method to you, and then teach you the saber technique. Remember, for both the cultivation method and the saber technique, I will only demonstrate them once, and then correct you for half an hour each. After that, if you want me to teach you again, it’ll be fifty thousand per minute, understand?”

“Understood!” Guo Feng nodded exasperatedly.

A dignified Level 61 powerhouse, the third strongest in the world, is actually a cunning merchant!

Is he worthy of his status?

However, he didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Soon, Meng Yao left.

Sima Hui verbally imparted the cultivation method, visualization techniques, and the flow of spiritual energy through various meridians to Guo Feng.

Guo Feng also learned very carefully.

However, the difficulty of learning this Xuan Huang True Dragon Art was indeed ten times that of the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique!

This was only the first level of the cultivation method!

Fortunately, Guo Feng was naturally intelligent, being the top student in his grade after all.

His comprehension and memory were both outstanding.

Sima Hui explained it once, and he completely memorized it, digesting it for a while on his own.

Only then did he begin to cultivate.

Sima Hui stood by as his protector.

Half an hour later.

Guo Feng cultivated the first wisp of Xuan Huang Qi, but his Xuan Huang Qi was quickly absorbed by his body.

It transformed into physical strength.

Although he clearly felt the absorption speed had increased.

However, his Xuan Huang True Dragon Art first level had not yet reached entry-level, nor had it reached twice the efficiency of the Five Hearts Asking Heaven Guiding Technique.

He still had to work hard!

“Oh?” However, Sima Hui looked surprised. “Your spiritual energy was completely absorbed by your body? Then how did you level up?”

“Ah?” Guo Feng was startled, not expecting Sima Hui’s perception to be so strong.

He had only absorbed some spiritual energy.

And he discovered it already?

However, he quickly put on a confused expression, “I don’t know about that. Is there anything wrong with my situation?”

“Nothing wrong either.” Sima Hui comforted him, “The true spiritual energy resurgence has been less than half a year, and the human body is the most complex, so special situations are bound to occur.”

He changed the subject, “Alright, next, go get a handy training saber from the rack. I’ll teach you the Ninefold Thunder Strike!”

“Yes!” Guo Feng looked expectant. In fact, for him, ultimate techniques were more appealing than cultivation methods.

This was a tangible increase in combat power!

He quickly walked to the weapon rack on the side, and from a row of unsharpened blunt sabers, he chose one that was roughly the right length and weight.

This saber was also made of alloy!”

After he had chosen his weapon, Sima Hui waved his hand and directly drew a saber from a nearby rack.

Then, he looked at Guo Feng, “Come on, I’ll demonstrate the basic moves first.”
