Grand Profound Art

Lu Chuan hadn't expected the young lady to be so understanding.

She actually agreed to a change in terms.

"The second condition is that once your strength is established, you'll help our boss once, free of charge."

The young lady explained, "Of course, you can also make some small requests, such as not targeting humans."

"As long as the requests are reasonable, our boss will agree."

This second condition was indeed better than the first.

At the very least, the initiative was in his own hands.

However, Lu Chuan didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Can I see the cultivation technique first?"

"Of course."

The young lady tapped on her tablet a few times, then turned it towards Lu Chuan. "This cultivation technique is called the Grand Profound Art. It's a subordinate technique to the Primordial Chaos True Art."

"Those who learn this technique can seamlessly transition to the Primordial Chaos True Art, laying a solid foundation for the future."

"At the same time, this technique also possesses some of the functions of the Primordial Chaos True Art."

"It's said that cultivating this technique to Grand Perfection can also improve a Martial Artist's talent and comprehension."

"Of course, the specific improvement varies from person to person."

The moment the young lady mentioned that the technique could improve talent, Lu Chuan knew he couldn't refuse.

Although he could also buy treasures that boosted talent, those treasures were too expensive, costing at least a few thousand Academic Credits. It would be better to buy this cultivation technique.

His only concern was that simplifying this technique would require too many simplification points.

Even a mid-grade technique required a thousand simplification points, let alone a high-grade one.

Lu Chuan estimated it would take at least ten thousand simplification points.

That many simplification points would require at least two to three hundred Academic Credits to accumulate.

This meant that even if Lu Chuan bought it, he wouldn't be able to simplify the Grand Profound Art.

But then again, Lu Chuan felt reluctant to miss out on this cultivation technique.

After all, it was a technique that could improve martial arts talent!

After much deliberation, Lu Chuan decided to buy it.

As for the Academic Credits needed to accumulate simplification points, there was no need to rush. If he mastered the Sky Swallowing Art, he would receive five thousand Academic Credits from Lin Lei.

It wouldn't be too late to simplify the Grand Profound Art then.

"I'm very satisfied with this cultivation technique."

Lu Chuan nodded, then said, "However, I have a few conditions."

"First, whether I act in the future will depend on my willingness. Your boss cannot force me."

"Second, when you ask me to help in the future, you must publicly disclose the reason without any concealment."

"Finally, I can break our agreement. Of course, as compensation, I will pay you ten times the original price."

"What do you say?"

Lu Chuan's conditions seemed numerous, but ultimately, they boiled down to one thing: freedom.

Whether to act, and whom to act against, would be up to Lu Chuan; others could not influence it.

"Please wait a moment, I need to ask my boss."

The young lady quickly ran back to communicate with her boss.

A short while later, the young lady returned. "Our boss agrees to your conditions."

"But our boss also has a condition: you must prove your potential."

"May I ask what year you are?"

"I'm a special recruit admitted today," Lu Chuan replied.

"Then that makes things easier," the young lady said with a smile. "My boss said that if you are a special recruit admitted today, you only need to break into the Dragon Tiger Ranking within a year."

"If you fail to do so, you will have to purchase this cultivation technique at the original price, which is three thousand Academic Credits."

"No problem." Lu Chuan didn't refuse.

He had made so many requests; it was only natural for them to make one in return.

"Then let's sign the contract."

The young lady handed Lu Chuan the prepared contract.

Lu Chuan scanned it, found no issues, and signed his name.

"Please wait a moment, guest. I'll go get the cultivation technique now."

The young lady first served Lu Chuan a cup of tea, then quickly ran back to the storeroom.

Shortly after, the young lady returned with a bamboo slip in her hand and handed it to Lu Chuan. "Guest, please inspect it."

Lu Chuan flipped through it and, finding no issues, handed his ID card to the young lady. "Swipe my card, please."

"Pleasure doing business with you," the young lady said, taking the card. After expertly swiping it, she handed it back to Lu Chuan.

After Lu Chuan left with the bamboo slip, the young lady made a phone call. "Boss, this person is a freshman in the Combat Department."

"A freshman in the Combat Department?"

The boss on the other end of the line frowned. "Then why would he buy a cultivation technique?"

"After all, throughout the entire Azure Dragon Academy, you won't find a more powerful cultivation technique than the Sky Swallowing Art."

The young lady guessed, "Could he be buying it for someone else?"

The boss was silent for a moment, then said, "It doesn't matter. Let him do whatever he wants, as long as he can help me get revenge in the future."

"Keep an eye on him for me. If he truly has the potential to help me get revenge, give him the Primordial Chaos True Art."

"Yes, boss." The young lady nodded.

Dormitory building.

Just as Lu Chuan was about to simplify the Grand Profound Art, Chen Mo rushed over.

"Lu Chuan, I've bought everything for you."

As he spoke, a ring in Chen Mo's hand flashed, and a hundred pounds of Thousand Mountain beef appeared on the floor.

"Wow, you have a space ring."

"These things aren't cheap. Even the lowest-grade space rings are worth a thousand Academic Credits."

Lu Chuan looked at the space ring with envy.

"You're talking about this?" Chen Mo chuckled. "My sister lent it to me."

"Never mind that, let's do the transaction."

Lu Chuan didn't waste any time. He weighed the Thousand Mountain beef, confirmed it was correct, and handed his ID card to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the ID card and, after some operations, transferred sixty Academic Credits to himself. "According to our agreement, I'll give you a 20% discount. That's sixty Academic Credits in total. Thank you for your patronage."

Looking at his dwindling Academic Credits, Lu Chuan sighed deeply.

These credits were being spent too quickly.

It seemed he'd have to visit the Alchemist Service Hall in a few days.

Chu Liang had said that he would give him ten Academic Credits for each recipe he learned.

Ten recipes would add up to a hundred Academic Credits.

At that time, he'd also see if there were any Second-Rank potion recipes and buy them if there were.

The school already provided so many subsidies for certifying as a First-Rank Alchemist.

When he certified as a Second-Rank Alchemist, wouldn't the subsidies be even greater?

Furthermore, as his alchemy skills improved, he could sell potions and earn some Academic Credits then.

"Is there anything else you need?" Chen Mo asked.

"Nothing for now."

Everything that needed to be prepared was ready. The next step was to grind the cultivation techniques.

"Alright then, contact me if you need anything."

Chen Mo didn't linger and turned to leave.

After Chen Mo left, Lu Chuan took out the vegetable juice and Thousand Mountain beef, intending to start practicing the Evergreen Spirit Art and Sky Swallowing Art.

Once basic cultivation techniques reached Grand Perfection, they couldn't be improved further. But what about mid-grade techniques? Could they still be improved?"

What were the subsequent realms?

What benefits would improvement bring?

To be honest, Lu Chuan was quite curious.
