Online Cultivator

Wind Knife

After he accidentally learned the Heaven grade technique from the third floor, Yusri walked downstairs with a guilty expression on his face.

"What's wrong? You don't look so good."

The guards noticed his expression and decided to talk to him, wondering if something unpleasant had happened during his meeting with their Master.

"Uhh... I was just wondering how much this technique would cost if I bought it..." Yusri showed them the Demon Sealing Technique.

"Demon Sealing Techniques, huh? It was one of the rarest and more powerful techniques that could be found in this shop, and it was even a Heaven grade technique, so it would be quite expensive."

Yusri immediately started sweating profusely after hearing the words of the guards.

"If I recall correctly, this technique should be worth about 300,000,000 gold coins..."

"300,000,000 gold coins?!?!?!?!??!!!" Yusri shouted loudly, almost fainting from fear.

If the Demon Sealing Technique was really worth three hundred million gold coins, he would not be able to buy this technique even if he borrowed all of Melia's money, either, and it would require him to sell around 10 Heaven grade treasures to have enough money for the purchase.

'300 million gold coins... I can't pay for this...' Yusri thought to himself.

Although it was painful for him to think about it, he had to skip this purchase even if it was considered a heist that he learned his technique without paying for it.

'Sorry, Angel... Even though it was unintentional and it was just a game, your brother has committed a crime and is now a criminal.

"A-Are you sure you're okay...?" The guards asked him again, as they were sure something was bothering him.

"No, I'm fine, really..." Yusri sighed as he turned around and started walking back upstairs.

"Where are you going ?" The guard asked.

"To restore this technique - I can't afford it," he replied in a pitiful voice.

The guards exchanged glances before laughing out loud, "Hahaha! Is that what you're worried about? Then you don't have to worry, because you don't have to pay for that technique."

"What?" Yusri immediately stopped walking to look at the guards with wide eyes in disbelief.

"W-What do you mean I don't have to pay for it?" he asked them.

"I guess our older sister forgot to tell you about this, but those who are qualified to step onto the third floor are allowed to pick up one cultivation technique for free."

"... Are you serious?" Yusri looked at them with a doubtful look.

Who in their right mind would give away something worth three hundred million gold coins for free?

"Why did we lie to you? If you don't trust us, you can ask our senior sister or whoever is at the reception" one of the guards said. "Although, they'll just tell you the same thing."

"Thank you !" Yusri suddenly let go of******deep relief, feeling like he barely escaped punishment after doing something bad.

"Although free, you need to make sure to check it out at the reception." The guards warned him.

"I'll do it! Thank you!"

Yusri leaves the place shortly afterwards to find Angel and Melia.

"How big is this place...?" Yusri was at a loss for words after realizing how much bigger the first and second floors were compared to the third.

And after walking around for half an hour, Yusri was finally able to reunite with Angel and Melia on the second floor.

"My brother! You're back!" Angel told him.

"Sorry to have left you two like that" he said.

"Brother Yusri, you.. are you okay?" Melia looked at him with eyes as wide as plates.

Yusri has only been away for at most an hour, yet there is something very different about him!

"Hm? Yeah, me. Why are you asking?"

"There's something different about you" he said.

"Oh, it's because I just removed all the dirt on my body!" he said with a smile on his face.

"You what?!" Melia exclaims.

Cultivators can only begin to excrete impurities within their bodies after entering the Spirit Grandmaster realm, and it usually takes years of effort before they can dispel all of the purity within their bodies! However, Yusri had only been gone for an hour and somehow he managed to remove all the impurities within his body?!

However, such a treasure should not exist in the Under Heaven! Damn, the Perfect Light Translucent Dew was considered a peerless treasure even in the higher realms, because it not only removes all the impurities in a person's body but it will also prevent their body from building up more impurities in the future, it allowed one to save a lot of time in their life since they no longer needed to manually remove their impurities anymore, which required time and effort that could be used to cultivate instead!

"J-J-Just who met Brother Yusri...?" Melia asked him.

"Some Senior are surnamed Bai," he said.

"Did he give you the Light Translucent Dew?"

"Ya— he said it was a small sign to spend my time." Yusri.

Melia was speechless. Who in this world would be rich enough to give such a precious treasure for such a reason?

"However, how's your search? Have you found a technique that suits your taste?" Yusri asked Angel a moment later.

"Well... While not many skills can be used with fans, I have managed to find skills that can be useful."

Angel showed him the scroll he had in his hand.

"Wind Knife? The Mortal-rank technique that summoned wind blades that cut through enemies from a distance..." Yusri sees the title and description, not daring to read the content in it, fearing that he might accidentally learn it.

"This way, once I get my own maid, I will be able to support her from a distance without being in the danger zone" Angel told her.

"So this technique is perfect for you" Yusri said as he handed the technique back to her.

"What about you, brother? Have you found the technique?" Angel then asked him.

"Yes, I did. It was a sword technique," he said.

"What about you, Melia? You've been following me all the time so you don't get a chance to look around." Angel turned to look at him.

"Melia doesn't need any new techniques," she shook her head.

"so... Then let's pay for our technique and leave this place."

"Are you sure you only want one technique? I think it'd be better if you had a few more..." Yusri said to Angel.

"Have you forgotten something, brother?" Angel said to him with a slight frown on his face.

"What did I forget?" He raised an eyebrow.

Angel continued, "You may be able to learn the technique very quickly, but I don't have your talent, so it will take me days, even weeks to even learn a single technique. What would I do with a lot of techniques that I didn't have time to learn?"

"And you've spent enough money on me. I can't let you spoil me too much, or I'll really start to feel guilty about it."

"I understand." said Yusri.

Some time later, they approached the cashier to pay for their technique.

"Thank you for visiting our Myriad Techniques! How can I help you today?" A young man greeted them from behind the counter.

"Yes, I want to buy these techniques..."

Yusri placed his Demon Sealing Technique and Angel Wind Blade onto the table.

"Yes, soon."

The young man picked up Angel's technique first and said, "It will cost 200,000 gold coins."

"200,000 gold coins?! Why is it so expensive? It was only a Mortal-rank technique!" Angel exclaims.

Even Yusri was shocked by this unexpected price. Why was this technique so expensive compared to the techniques he brought?

"I don't know what to tell you, young lady. This Martial Technique like the Wind Blade was extremely rare and powerful and was usually worth this much, and it was a technique from the second floor. In fact, our Myriad Engineering is very affordable and cheap when compared to most stores out there at our prices. If you go to another store, they will probably charge around 300,000 gold coins for this technique. In fact, if you want something cheaper, there are many techniques that cost less than 1,000 gold coins on the first floor with some costing even less than 100 gold coins."

"No way..." Angel sighed before turning around to look at Yusri. "It's okay, brother. I'm just gonna find something cheaper on the first floor..."

However, Yusri said, "It's okay, Angel. If you want this technique, I'll buy it for you. And before you say anything to me, I already know what you're going to say, but I won't change my mind, so just shut up and nod your head."

Upon hearing his words, Angel, who was about to persuade him, slowly nodded her head with a dazed expression on her face.

After listening to the siblings conversation, the young man behind the counter went to pick up the technique Yusri had chosen. However, when he saw the name of this technique, his eyes widened in shock, and he turned to look at Yusri with deep respect in his eyes.
