After the Branch Master left, and Adam made sure that there was no way anybody was watching them or listening in to what was happening, he said to Su Lan that he had a few conditions that she had to agree to before he helped her.

The private recovery room that the Branch Master had led them to was one of many, and was essentially a small closed-off room without anything in it that had quite dense energy and was completely soundproof.

This way people could cultivate and recover within it freely, without distraction, and was perfect for Adam who didn't want to reveal much about himself, knowing that there were too many powerful and unknown figures out there.

Until he was could rival them in terms of power, revealing more about himself would only draw unwanted attention, and he wasn't looking to cause any complications or conflict.

Su Lan was willing to do almost anything to get stronger and overcome the complications that she had with her body, but after hearing Adam's conditions she couldn't help but be shocked out of her mind.

"There are three simple conditions. You must promise not to reveal my true power to anybody or anything to do with me, my capabilities or the recovery process. Basically, just keep everything confidential. You must also try your best to stay conscious throughout the entire process. And lastly, you must owe me one favour that I can redeem whenever I want in the future," he revealed as he stopped concealing his aura and true power.

As soon as he did, she found it harder to breath and such power seemed to surpass even that of the Branch Master, despite him appearing to have a lower cultivation level than him.

But it quickly vanished, as Adam retracted it.

"Why don't you use your full power?" she asked in awe and confusion.

With his power, he could not only crush all those in the tournament at once, but probably even the Branch Master that was overseeing that tournament.

"Don't tell me you're over 25..."

"No, I am not over 25 years old. And I just wanted to test my skills and face skilled opponents while using less power than them, to force me to use skill to win," he explained.

She had many questions, but before she could ask anything else, he asked, "Do you agree to the conditions or not?"

"Yes, I do. And I swear upon my blade to adhere to them to the best of my ability," she vowed.

"Alright then, the person you owe a favour to, is Adam, not the Liao Wei you see before you and we will begin the process now, since I have to get back to the tournament," he stated.

She wanted to ask him so many things, and didn't understand what he meant by the person she owed a favour to wasn't the person before her, but she was more focused on getting stronger.

"Endure as best as you can and try to aid me as much as possible, but also completely relax your body and let me take control," he instructed as she closed her eyes and continued cultivating.

Adam unleashed extreme amounts of energy that were too much for her body to handle and had helped Angela and Elizabeth through similar dangerous procedures, but this was one that was by far the most taxing on him.

There wasn't much that Su Lan could do other than relax and endure the immense pain that came with the process.

Immediately after streaming the energy into her body, Adam forced it into her energy pathways, and began bombarding all the blocked off pathways with alarming amounts of energy.

Su Lan began vomiting out curdles of blood and felt as though her body was on the verge of exploding, with Adam constantly streaming more and more energy into her body.

However, simultaneously, she felt as though Adam was healing her body and although it didn't do much to ease the pain, she at least wasn't dying.

Howling in pain, Su Lan had never experienced anything so excruciating her entire life, but as long as it paid off, she was happy as she clenched her teeth and tried her best to remain relaxed and ease the burden on Adam.

The forbidden Cultivation Splitting Method was what he had used on Elizabeth, and was one of the multiple forbidden methods that his master had left behind for him in a secret storage that even his friends didn't have access to.

And in there, there was another forbidden method that was on par with the Cultivation Splitting Method or even greater in terms of difficult, risk and effects.

It was the Body Reformatting Method, that just like he had said to her, would destroy her body almost entirely and reformat it, reconnecting all her energy pathways and getting rid of whatever was restricting her development.

Her frail constitution seemed to be natural, and at first glance, her body was way too weak to become a cultivator, so it was unbelievable for her to have made it as far as she had and if she continued as she did, death was inevitable.

And she felt it, estimating that at most she would have only a few more years to live with her body breaking down from the constant pressure of her Internal Cultivation and powerful sword energy.

But now, Adam was about to make it so that she never had to worry about those things and would make it so that she could also strengthen her body and harmonise her Physical Cultivation.

However, it was easier said than done and even Adam wasn't completely confident that he would be able to pull the procedure off despite how confident he acted.

She was on the verge of death anyway and would try his best to help her, but there was a big chance that it would fail, however, he had already promised to help her and it would be good to put what his master left him to good use.
