Chapter 134 - Modifying A Technique

As Lee Tao began to think about how he could empty the treasury of the Dan Clan through Deng Lijuan, his lips began to curl up in a wicked manner.

Soon, Lee Tao began laughing wildly as he would definitely enjoy fattening his wealth.

"Hahaha, the Dan Clan are way too wealthy anyway. I shall be the gentleman and help them spend some of their wealth or maybe all of it." Lee Tao shouted joyfully.

"Stop daydreaming for a second and help Deng Lijuan out. Her current condition is not doing well." Xiao Chu's words brought Lee Tao back to reality.

'Tsk, wasn't it all your fault that I started daydreaming?' Lee Tao thought.

Sometime later, Lee Tao walked closer to Deng Lijuan as he checked on her pulse.

"Her condition seemed to be coming from her bloodline itself…" Lee Tao muttered.

"I can only stop her from temporarily fainting occasionally by applying some medicine for her. To get rid of this condition completely, she must first become a cultivator." 

"That's simple for you to do then, Lee Tao. Just impart a cultivation technique for her to study on."

"Hmph, cultivation techniques are priceless, and there's no way I would just give it out to her for free. She hadn't even earned my trust yet."

"Think about the future fortune you can get~"

Lee Tao clicked his tongue when he heard Xiao Chu's words.

It would be a lie if he said he wasn't tempted to obtain all those fortunes.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chu grinned wickedly as she hovered close to Lee Tao's ear.

"Just think of this as a future investment for a greater profit, Lee Tao." She whispered softly.

"Fine, so be it. But let me tell you something, this better be a good investment. Otherwise, there'll be hell to pay for wasting my time." Lee Tao snorted coldly as he quickly sat down and tried to recall a suitable cultivation technique for Deng Lijuan.

Time slowly passed by, and Lee Tao finally found a suitable cultivation technique.

"I got it. Deng Lijuan could study this cultivation technique, the Severing Dao of Emotions." Lee Tao exclaimed happily.

"A-Are you crazy, Lee Tao?" 

"Huh? Why would I be crazy?"

"Severing Dao of Emotions… Do you seriously want Deng Lijuan to sever her emotions? How do you expect to use her in the future if she no longer has emotions?" Xiao Chu asked in disbelief.

Lee Tao twitched his brow at the harsh criticism from Xiao Chu.

Did she really think he spouted that out without any reason?

"Xiao Chu, I'm not imparting the stupid and common knowledge of a Severing Dao of Emotions." Lee Tao corrected as he stood up with a profound gaze.

"I'll be teaching her an improvised and more awesome method of cultivating the Severing Dao of Emotions." He added.

Years of spending his days as an Immortal were not wasted. With his experience, creating an improv technique isn't hard. It would simply take a little bit more time and effort.

However, Lee Tao was confident to get rid of the main flaw of such a technique. And that was losing their own emotions in the process.

"I'll be teaching her how to manipulate her emotions, so whenever she needs to use the technique to her advantage. She could easily sever the unnecessary emotions in her mind while retaining the precious emotions that she wishes to keep." 

"C-Can you really achieve that?"

"Of course, I can. There is nothing that I, Lee Tao, cannot do."

Lee Tao held a confident smile as he quickly retrieved an empty scroll and brush.

"Help me make the ink while I concentrate on my profound qi to create the perfect cultivation technique." Lee Tao ordered.

Seeing his confident look, Xiao Chu decided to yolo it anyway and followed his steps.

After all, she could always intervene and stop the process if things were to go wrong.

Sometime later, Xiao Chu finished creating the ink for Lee Tao.

"Here's the black ink you want."

"Ok, just watch over Deng Lijuan and our surroundings for now. I don't want to get distracted and have my inspiration ruined."

Xiao Chu nodded her head.

With a flick of her wrist, she created an illusion barrier around them. 

"Barrier created, and I doubt Deng Lijuan would wake up any sooner." Xiao Chu said.

"Alrighty then, time to show you why I'm the best Immortal you have ever seen." Lee Tao smirked as he lifted his sleeve up.

Afterward, with some flashy movement, Lee Tao dipped his brush slightly on the ink that Xiao Chu created. The brush made contact with the ink and it was just like a combination of hamburger with fries.

The harmony was so great that Lee Tao began writing the technique down on the empty scroll.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chu was awestruck by Lee Tao's current display for the first time.

'This Lee Tao… if only he was always this serious, then I bet he would have captured many people's hearts already.' Xiao Chu thought.

Despite being ordered to guard around their surroundings, Xiao Chu had long forgotten about it as she focused completely on Lee Tao's calligraphy skills.

Lee Tao didn't notice he was being stared at intensely by Xiao Chu as he remained completely focused.

One mistake and the entire scroll would become useless. It may be simple calligraphy skills from an outsider's perspective, but it was actually more difficult than the surface look.

Each stroke made from his brush was imbued with profound qi, and each profound qi must be equally spread across each word.

After all, a cultivation technique is meant to allow the person learning to learn some insight and absorb the lingering profound qi inlay in it.

Sweat began trickling down on Lee Tao's forehead. 

However, that didn't stop him from continuing to write it down.

3 hours had easily gone by, and Lee Tao finally plopped to the ground with an exhausted face.

"Finally… only I can modify a great technique like this at the Elementary Spirit Realm."
