“I…” The youth hesitated for a moment before saying, “Sun Ming recommended this place. He said that there is a Master Zhou here who can improve a cultivation method.”
He vaguely remembered that after the assessment this afternoon, Sun Ming had said that he knew a guy called Boss Zhou outside the city. Boss Zhou was the one who helped him improve his method.
Master Zhou? Zhou Ji smiled helplessly. He didn’t know how Sun Ming had arranged for him to come here.
“There is no Master Zhou. With Boss Zhou here, you can improve your cultivation method, and so on. Of course, as long as you can afford it.” Zhou Ji rubbed his face and looked at this well-mannered and polite youth; he had a good impression of him. “Young man, can you make your own decisions? This is not a small business.”
“Boss Zhou?” The young man looked at the man who was not much older than him in shock and said hesitantly, “That… may I ask if Sun Ming’s techniques were improved by you?”
“Oh, that little whirlwind technique.” Because he had come into contact with many cultivation methods, Zhou Ji had his own name for the names of cultivation methods. Most of them were named after their special characteristics, they were not called “Wind Control Technique” or “Wind blow technique” as required by the rules.
Seeing Zhou Ji’s casual manner, the youth was skeptical. However, he quickly bowed and said, “Greetings, Master Zhou. I am Bai Fang from the Bai family in the inner city. I have specially come to ask Master Zhou to help me improve my cultivation technique.”
A member of an aristocratic family…
Zhou Ji stared at the youth surnamed Bai in front of him. His gaze moved slightly, but he immediately felt relieved. This kind of upbringing, no wonder he was able to occupy a position in the Southern Federation. If the entire Bai family had this kind of upbringing, it could also explain why the management model of the aristocratic families in his star field could last for so long. However, this was different from what was written in the books. Shouldn’t those second and third generation young masters be walking their dogs and playing with their birds, and being rich and overbearing?
“From the Bai family in the inner city…” Zhou Ji muttered.
Bai Fang’s heart tightened. He was afraid that this researcher would have some prejudice against his Bai family and would not agree to modify the cultivation method for him.
“Master…”
“If you’re from the Bai family in the inner city, why don’t you go find your own researcher?” Zhou Ji said slowly. He wanted to take the opportunity to ask for some information.
Bai Fang smiled bitterly. “Master, I’m just a bastard son of a collateral family. I can’t get those Bai family researchers to specially modify it for me.”
“I see…” Zhou Ji nodded slightly. It seemed that this so-called cultivation method researcher was a hidden and rare occupation. No wonder no one in his line of work came to snatch his job, there was also no clear violation of the law.
“Alright then. How do you want to modify it? The price range is one hundred to one thousand spirit crystals. Of course, if you need to specially modify it according to the cultivation method you cultivate, you still need to hand over your cultivation method. I will give you a discount according to the value of the cultivation method.”
Hearing Zhou Ji’s agreement, Bai Fang’s eyes lit up. He quickly said, “I can give you the cultivation method, but you have to promise not to teach it to others. After all, this is the Bai family’s internal cultivation method. If it gets out, it will bring you unnecessary trouble.”
“Yes, I am only using it for research. I will not teach it to others.”
Seeing Zhou Ji agree, Bai Fang hurriedly handed over a jade talisman with both hands.
“This is a record of the cultivation method I cultivate and the cultivation method that needs to be improved. Please teach me, Master.”
Zhou Ji took the jade talisman, made a record, and returned it. His heart was floating. The young man kept calling him master.
The cultivation method that Bai Fang cultivated was also a mid-level Na Yuan Technique. There were three entries, two green and one blue. This was already the best cultivation method in the entire planet, some of the familiar contents made Zhou Ji confirm that the essence absorption technique that was popularized was the castrated version of this cultivation technique.
The two green entries were to speed up the absorption of spiritual essence and increase the speed of the circulation of spiritual essence. The effect of the blue entry was to increase the recovery of spiritual essence and increase the affinity of metal elements.
This cultivation technique was already comparable to the one that Zhou Ji had given to Zhang Hao. It was still slightly inferior to the one that Xiao Rui cultivated.
Zhou Ji lightly circulated the cultivation technique and familiarized himself with his meridians. Only then did Zhou Ji turn his attention to the cultivation technique. This was a more traditional Instrument Control Spell with three green entries.
Zhou Ji raised his eyes to look at Bai Fang. “The effect of your cultivation technique is not bad. It can offset 750 crystals. How about it? Do you want me to directly help you improve the cultivation technique, or do you want me to add some to make up for a thousand crystals?”
Bai Fang gritted his teeth and said, “Make up!”
As he said that, he took out his jade token and started the transaction.
With 250 crystals in his account, Zhou Ji felt that the sunlight had become much brighter. He immediately took the notebook and began to write and draw on it. At this moment, Zhou Ji was like an old doctor who opened a shop to consult patients. As he wrote, he did not forget to raise his head and ask a few questions.
“… Then, do you have any magic artifacts that you’re used to? Do you plan to change the type of magic artifacts in the future?”
“Master, I’m currently using a flying needle. I’m not sure about the future.”
“Oh, then I’ll use the method of universal strengthening.”
Zhou Ji muttered.
“Wait, Master, do you mean that there are other special strengthening methods?”
“That’s right. For example, for flying needles, there are a few meridians and the circulation of spirit essence techniques that can greatly increase their flexibility. In fact, it’s mainly related to the shape.”
“Then… then flying needles it is! Spiritual artifacts can also be made according to my will. At the very most, I can just practice using flying needles!”
…
This time, when Zhou Ji changed his cultivation method, Xiao Rui was holding Little White and waiting for Zhou Ji by the side. She was hungry.
However, the final result was also gratifying. After the approval of the cultivation method editor, Zhou Ji obtained a total of 28 magical points this time.
[Swimming Needle Technique]
[When controlling a magical artifact, the flying speed of the magical artifact increased by 200%, and its sturdiness increased by 200%.]
The cultivation method was slightly better.
[(Blue) when controlling a needle-shaped magical artifact, the flying speed of the magical artifact increased by 477%.]
[(Blue) imperial needle-shaped magic weapon, magic weapon’s sturdiness increased by 408%.]
[(Blue) imperial needle-shaped magic weapon, magic weapon’s concealment increased by 421%; imperial needle-shaped magic weapon, magic weapon’s agility increased by 433%.]
If this magic spell was put up for auction, it would be at least a five-digit starting point. In terms of effect, it was even higher than the spell that Yue Wu had given to him.
Speaking of which, the flying sword and technique that Yue Wu had given to him were all pretty good, but Xiao Rui still liked her Little Red, so Zhou Ji did not ask Xiao Rui to re-cultivate the technique. Of course, this technique could be taught to his daughter later. It was much better than the technique that she had previously used.
“Let’s give it a try.”
Zhou Ji threw the booklet to Bai Fang, who had been standing respectfully by the side for more than an hour.
Bai Fang did not immediately go to the cultivation room. Instead, he carefully placed the booklet in his arms and bowed to Zhou Ji. His respectful manner made Zhou Ji feel a little uncomfortable.
“Thank you very much, Master Zhou. Seeing that it’s getting late, I’ll leave first. I’ll definitely come and thank you another day!”
“Alright, alright, just don’t think that I’ve deceived you.”
Zhou Ji smiled and waved his hand as he watched Bai Fang leave. Today was the best day he had ever tried to modify the technique. Although this technique could be used by his daughter after it was completed, the admiration he had for this polite and respectful young man was actually a small part of it. A good child who was polite would have good karma….
