3050 Just a Deal
Foliana focused on her new memories and quickly put the new information to use. Her Red Lightning awakened in her bloodline, and the Spiritual Energy in the surroundings interacted with it. She took out a few Spiritual Stones from her Spatial Ring to test. Sure enough, her cultivation, which was already fast a moment ago, immediately skyrocketed!
In just a little bit over an hour, the Spiritual Stones Foliana took to test the cultivation technique became dust. She was at least two times faster now. "Unbelievable..."
"Indeed," Roan agreed with her. Foliana was just about to continue her words when Roan continued his instead.
"I didn't expect the first version to be this shit. Truly unbelievable," Roan complained. "Even the Sun Urpins Cultivation Technique wasn't this hard to make. I guess a special Elemental Affinity is always harder to work with."
"Eh?!" Foliana felt her mind go numb. This was... shit? Her cultivation was two times faster... and he thought it to be shit? The Lightning Cultivation Technique she was using before only increased her speed by 30% or so. In her eyes, this technique was god-like! "Aren't you mistaken? It truly increased my cultivation speed a lot."
Roan glanced at her before his finger suddenly flashed.
*Tud, tud, tud, tud...*
*ARRRRRGGGHHHH!!*
Roan hit several different points in Foliana's body, which immediately made the girl scream in pain. The finger didn't really have any strength behind them. At most, they should have made her feel itchy. Yet, an almost unbearable pain followed after Roan's movements.
Roan, who received the whole information through their connection, was finally satisfied. "Helping this brat wasn't a waste of time, after all. Without her here, I would have taken several months to devise something at this level, and probably not as good."
Roan then turned to Foliana, who watched everything, and touched her forehead. Once again, a new stream of information flowed into her mind. "It also helped me finish your cultivation technique. Give it a try as well."
Foliana nodded and tried it again. Roan had her try various versions during the past days, and some went on a completely different direction than others, making her quite confused. Yet, as they got closer to this day, those techniques seemed to blend with each other and ultimately resulted in this one last version she just received.
*Bzzzz!* Foliana's Red Lightning appeared again, but this time, it was a lot more gentle. Looking from the outside, one would wonder if it had anything to do with Lightning and Fire Elements at all. However, the gentler it appeared, the more efficient it was. Using the same amount of Spirit Stones, Foliana managed to absorb them all in just twenty minutes, three times faster than Roan's first version of the technique.
*Phew...* Foliana didn't forget to check her body, feeling excited. "I can't feel anything wrong, senior Roan."
Roan had his Spiritual Sense and Soul Power inside Foliana's body the entire time. "Still not as good as I would like, but I guess it can barely be considered usable now. To perfect it would take much, much longer, but that's your problem now. Take your time, change what you can, try things out, and learn by yourself. Only then you could say to have truly improved. This technique is not an end product but a prototype you will build upon, understood?"
Foliana quickly kneeled down, showing her respect. "Yes, senior. No, let me call you master!"
"I don't want more disciples," Roan cut her out instantly. "You helped me create the Red Lightning, which made us stronger. In exchange, I gave you this technique. It was just a deal."
And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
