Zhuo Feng was reading a book in his dormitory. After receiving Yan Jue's request to come in, he put the book aside and welcomed him in.
Yan Jue said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you for a while."
"Teacher, what's up?" Zhuo Feng wasn't unhappy at all, but rather inexplicably positive: "Do you need my help?"
Yan Jue paused, confirming he hadn't misheard the joy in Zhuo Feng's words. Then, his heart softened and he said softly, "Yes, there's something I'd like Zhuo Feng to help me with. But before I do, I'd like to ask, what do you think of our world these past two days since you came here?"
"view?"
Zhuo Feng was puzzled as to why Yan Jue would ask him this question, but after some thought, he answered truthfully, "Teacher's country is peaceful and prosperous. Anyone without a deep evil in their heart would yearn for such a country, and so would I. The technology here is also amazing, with many talismans and spells that are more powerful and convenient than the ones we have here."
"What about the revival of spiritual energy?"
"It's also amazing." Zhuo Feng felt a little at a loss for words and lowered his head embarrassedly. "I don't know how to put it, but anyway, everything is completely new to me. It's very wonderful and makes me want to explore."
"Thank you, Zhuo Feng, for your high praise." Yan Jue smiled. "Regarding the spiritual energy revival, there's actually one thing I haven't told you yet. It's related to the topic we didn't finish discussing this morning."
Zhuo Feng asked curiously, "Teacher, why don't you practice this?"
Yan Jue nodded and said directly, "My world once contained spiritual energy long ago, and there were cultivators back then. But over time, the spiritual energy gradually dried up. I don't know why that era of cultivators is no longer around, and the world has begun to develop towards technology. Now I think it must be due to the changing laws of nature on the planet, just like the current revival of spiritual energy, which cannot be changed by human power."
"Although that era of cultivation has passed, it still left traces in the world. The novel I gave Noel before, and those strange and supernatural stories I told you, all have traces of it and are not fabricated out of thin air."
"It's just a shame that in today's world, no one has preserved a single word about the real world of cultivation." Yan Jue spread his hands. "Let alone magic weapons or techniques, there really isn't a single word left. And the techniques practiced by those represented by Zhang Zizhen are something completely different."
"They can draw Qi into their bodies, but they can't completely refine the spiritual energy. They only absorb a small portion. Moreover, the highest level of the cultivation method they practice is only the Spiritual Transformation Stage practiced by people from Tianchen Continent. There is no way to advance any further."
The reason why he knew so much was, of course, because of the financial transactions with 91. When he inquired about Zhang Zizhen's affairs, even with the relationship of "colleague", 91's asking price was still heartbreaking. He could only find out some basic information to let the bosses above know the situation.
"Their martial arts are incomplete?" Zhuo Feng was surprised.
"That's not the case." The premise of incompleteness is completeness. "When they compiled their skills, they only wrote up to the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and nothing after that."
Saying sorry to Zhang Zizhen in his heart, Yan Jue said, "Before the spiritual energy revived, this was not a big deal, but after the spiritual energy revived, this kind of practice is destined to be eliminated. At least it is not the first choice for cultivation."
Zhuo Feng suddenly realized: "So the teacher doesn't practice because he doesn't have the skills. Then... the teacher wants me to help?"
Yan Jue admitted frankly, "Yes. Like you, I have the opportunity of kindergarten, so it's hard not to use it to do something. Zhuo Feng, my country and I would like to trade some cultivation techniques and magic weapons with you. Would you consider it?"
Zhuo Feng sensed the humble tone in his teacher's words. This trade request wasn't annoying, nor did it feel like he was being forced to agree. It was comforting, and he knew clearly that, like the deal with his teacher, Noel, the initiative rested entirely with him.
To be fair, he was very happy to be able to help his teacher, and was willing to help his teacher even if it meant giving it to him. After all, human skills had nothing to do with him as a demon, not to mention that they were not from the same world. No matter how many powerful people there were, it had nothing to do with him.
What troubled him was that he had no idea what was considered a good technique in the eyes of human cultivators.
His past experience was of no use at all.
Most of those who can afford and are willing to raise a demon pet are the children of the sect or family. At the same time, the speed at which the pets around them are replaced is very fast. His bad luck did not make him become someone's exclusive favorite. He always followed a cultivator closely. Otherwise, he would not have been sold to Qingfeng Sect, right?
Due to various reasons, he really felt powerless.
Under his teacher's expectant gaze, Zhuo Feng whispered his concerns and added, "Good techniques are exclusive to sects and families. Unless you join them, they won't be passed down to outsiders. Other ways to obtain inheritance are through ruins and blessed places, but with my abilities, I can't obtain those."
What is the most important thing in the world of cultivation? It is luck and opportunity!
"All I can get are the techniques that are circulated on the continent. Teacher, you should understand that these common ones are not good. Some of them are even very likely to contain errors. I am a demon cultivator and cannot understand them, so I can't help you filter them. If something goes wrong midway through your practice... going astray is the least of your worries."
He didn't want to give the teacher a substandard product.
Yan Jue felt very nervous after hearing this. He had never expected that there were so many twists and turns in it. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhuo Feng's worries were very reasonable.
He did not seek for the best martial arts. The quality did not matter. It was okay if the martial arts were a little inferior. They were penniless now. It was better to have it than not. However, there must be no mistakes that would harm people's lives.
After passionately insulting the monopoly on Tianchen Continent, Yan Jue had no choice but to tell Zhuo Feng that he needed to discuss the matter with someone. He then called customer service: "91, if Zhuo Feng gave me a cultivation technique from the world of cultivation, could you help me check and see if it's usable?"
91's voice remained cold and mechanical: "Yes. Identification requires points, which depends on the level of the technique."
Having seen 91's money-hungry style so often, Yan Jue was no longer fazed. He said calmly, "Is it expensive? Can I afford it without breaking the bank?"
"No. If it was given to the host by Zhuo Feng, the appraisal fee will not exceed ten thousand."
The wealthy Yan Jue said, "It's very expensive."
This was just the appraisal fee, not including the translation fee. He wasn't curious why 91 was so sure that everything Zhuo Feng gave him was from the other party. You know, the scope couldn't be simpler.
After thinking about it, just in case, he asked, "If I want to change the method after practicing it, will it be life-threatening?"
"It depends on the cultivator's level of cultivation. The higher the level, the higher the price."
"What about Zhang Zizhen and the others?"
"Ditto."
Yan Jue: ...Okay, you've learned to be lazy now.
After not being able to think of anything else to ask, he sent 91 away and went to check Zhuo Feng's favorability, which he hadn't checked for a long time.
Ever since Zhuo Feng's favorability rating passed the passing line, he hadn't visited them frequently. He had developed a genuine bond with the cubs, a bond born of companionship. Instead of constantly calculating the number behind the favorability rating, spending time with the cubs in their daily lives was the most authentic experience.
Well, the favorability is 90.
Based on his experience with Noel, the last ten points should be difficult to increase. In fact, he still didn't know how he had touched Zhuo Feng's heart after his confession with Noel, and how he had gained his favorability.
Zhuo Feng’s thoughts are difficult to deal with, so I can only let things take their course.
It is not clear how long it will take to fill up the points, but as long as the Tianchen Continent Mall is opened, they will be able to obtain more cultivation techniques. I just don’t know how many points are needed to buy them.
Furthermore, drawing Qi into the body requires talent. It's better to start practicing early than to wait until something unexpected happens. If their favorability is already full before they succeed in their first batch of techniques, they can easily switch to a new one at any time without any major problems.
Putting all the discouraging words behind him, Yan Jue went back to find Zhuo Feng.
"I've asked 91, and he said he can help with the screening, so we don't have to worry." Yan Jue smiled. "Now that the problem has been solved, is Zhuo Feng still willing to trade?"
Zhuo Feng said without hesitation: "Of course."
"Can you help me find some Buddhist practitioners, or other practitioners who practice in strange and bizarre ways?" Balanced development, each with its own strengths, does not necessarily require unified standards.
Zhuo Feng nodded again.
Yan Jue said a lot of words of thanks, and finally asked, "What does Zhuo Feng want from us as a trade item? You've seen most of the common things. Do you want to come over and look at some hot weapons that are not available on the market?"
Zhuo Feng subconsciously shook his head to refuse: "No need..."
"Yes. We are doing business. Although the things here are not as good as those in Tianchen Continent, we will do our best to meet your requirements." Yan Jue nodded Zhuo Feng's head and said firmly, "Be obedient and think about what you want."
Zhuo Feng showed a conflicted and hesitant look.
Yan Jue also knew that he couldn't let the kid figure it out right away, so he told him to take his time and not to rush. After a pause, he said, "Zhuo Feng, you can see that our situation is quite urgent. Could you please send the skills over first? Once you figure out what you need, we can send the trade items over later?"
This was easy, and Zhuo Feng was confident the teacher wouldn't go back on his word, so he nodded without giving it much thought. With a mission on his hands, he didn't feel like reading anymore and immediately went to choose a technique. But before he asked the teacher to leave, he remembered something and asked, "Teacher, do you need a magic tool to test my spiritual roots?"
Yan Jue's eyes lit up: "Of course, Zhuo Feng, can you sell a few more teachers?"
He thought about it, and wondered how many Emotion Crystals Zhuo Feng would need to spend on so many things. To avoid draining the little fox dry, he quickly changed his words, "Well, you don't need to choose too many skills at once. Pick a few first, and let 91 appraise them to see if they're usable. Then, if necessary, add more, okay?"
He was really afraid that Zhuo Feng wanted to give him all the skills he could get.
"Okay." Zhuo Feng raised his left paw slightly towards Yan Jue. "I'm going to go pick out some items. Teacher, you can go ahead and do whatever you need."
Yan Jue breathed a sigh of relief after a major issue was resolved. Before exiting the game, he went to see Noel on the way. Seeing that he was staying in his dormitory, he guessed that he was probably reading a book, so he did not disturb him.
He sent a private message to Noel and Zhuofeng respectively, telling them the flight time tonight and asking them to tell him if they wanted to take the flight, then he closed the game.
He reported to Pan Wencheng what had just happened. By the time he finished, it was already dinner time. After dinner, Yan Jue didn't feel like playing with his phone anymore. He just lay straight in bed, waiting for Zhuo Feng's transaction items to arrive.
Even if it's not that fast, it doesn't matter if I wait.
It turns out that the Burning Wind is not really that fast.
Zhuo Feng was busy trading and Noel was busy reading. On the way back, the two cubs stayed in the game and did not come out, which disappointed everyone on the plane. They had no choice but to give the snacks they bought specially to Yan Jue and asked him to pass them on.
Looking at the colorful packaging in the plastic bag, Yan Jue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He really wanted to see how the two cubs would react if they knew how popular they were.
No matter what, you're always happy.
