“This way, once I get my own servant, I’ll be able to support it from a distance without being in the danger zone,” Yu Rou said to him.
“I see… this technique is really fitting for you,” Yuan said as he handed the technique back to her.
“What about you, brother? Did you find a technique yet?” Yu Rou then asked him.
“Yeah, I did. It’s a sword technique,” he said.
“What about you, Xiao Hua? You have been following me the entire time so you didn’t get any chance to look around.” Yu Rou turned to look at her.
“Xiao Hua doesn’t need any new techniques,” she shook her head.
“I see… Then let’s pay for our techniques and leave this place.”
“Are you sure you only want one technique? I think it’ll be better if you have a few more…” Yuan said to Yu Rou.
“Are you forgetting something, brother?” Yu Rou said to him with a slight frown on her face.
“What am I forgetting?” He raised an eyebrow.
Yu Rou continued, “You may be able to learn techniques very quickly, but I don’t have your talent, so it’ll take me days, even weeks to even learn a single technique. What am I going to do with a bunch of techniques that I don’t have the time to learn?”
“And you have already spent enough money on me. I can’t let you spoil me too much, or I’ll really start feeling guilty about it.”
“I understand…” Yuan said.
Sometime later, they approached the cashier to pay for their techniques.
“Thank you for visiting our Myriad of Techniques! How may I help you today?” A young man greeted them from behind the counter.
“Yes, I would like to purchase these techniques…”
Yuan placed his Demon Sealing Technique and Yu Rou’s Wind Blade onto the table.
“Yes, right away.”
The young man picked up Yu Rou’s technique first and said, “This will cost 200,000 gold coins.”
“200,000 gold coins?! Why is it so expensive? It’s only a Mortal-rank technique!” Yu Rou exclaimed.
Even Yuan was shocked by this unexpected price. Why is this technique so expensive compared to the techniques he’d brought?
“I don’t know what to tell you, young lady. Martial Techniques such as this Wind Blade are very rare and powerful and usually worth this much, and it’s a technique from the second floor. In fact, our Myriad of Techniques is very affordable and cheap when compared to most stores out there with our pricing. If you went to another store, they would probably charge around 300,000 gold coins for this technique. Though, if you want something cheaper, there are many techniques that cost less than 1,000 gold coins on the first floor with some costing even less than 100 gold coins.”
“No way…” Yu Rou sighed before turning to look at Yuan. “It’s okay, brother. I’ll just look for something cheaper on the first floor…”
However, Yuan said, “It’s okay, Yu Rou. If you want this technique, I’ll buy it for you. And before you say anything to me, I already know what you’re going to say, but I won’t change my mind, so just keep quiet and nod your head.”
“…”
After hearing his words, Yu Rou, who was about to persuade him, slowly nodded her head with a dazed look on her face.
After listening to the sibling’s conversation, the young man behind the counter went to pick up the technique Yuan had picked. However, when he saw the name of this technique, his eyes widened with shock, and he turned to look at Yuan with deep respect in his eyes.
