Death… And Me

Chapter 3050 Just a Deal



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.


"Hmph!" Roan snorted. "Don't pay attention to your cultivation alone. When you cultivate, pay attention to your body as a whole, idiot. You couldn't even tell how strenuous the first version I just made was to your body. If you were to keep using this, I doubt your body would resist for more than a year before completely collapsing. By then, you would be as good as a mortal for the rest of your life."


Foliana got up again, still feeling pain in all the points Roan pressed. "Im-I'm sorry... I will pay more attention from now on."


Roan nodded. "Make sure you do. Anyway, leave me alone. I'll call you once in a while to check a few things, so do go away."


Rean took that opportunity to call Foliana. "Since you are over with the ice block, come here and pour your Red Lightning into the molten alloy. I need to make a few chances in the next set of Dual Blades as well."


Foliana followed Rean's orders, and the group continued to work for the next three days. Finally, Rean pulled the last set of Dual Blades from the oil, looking at its reddish color with satisfaction. "That's more like it." Following that, he built took the other parts and put them together before delivering them to Foliana. "This is for you to use at the Transition Realm. Because my cultivation was lacking, I wasn't able to do a perfect job. Nonetheless, it should be better than any Dual Blade you can find on this planet."


Foliana swallowed hard as she held the Dual Blades. They were heavy to the point she could barely hold them. However, she knew it was mostly because of her cultivation level, which was far from enough. She carefully put them inside her Spatial Ring, hoping she would indeed reach the Transition Realm one day.


"Since you are done there, come here and give it another try," Roan said as he pulled Rean away from the forge.


Rean freed himself from Roan's grasp. "Alright, alright. I understand. Just give me the information."


The memories quickly flowed into Rean's mind, with just some minor tweaks from the previous version he tested a few hours ago. However...


*Bzzzz!*


Instantly, a Red Lighting took form around Rean's Black Star Sword. At the same level, the only person who could possibly use a purer Red Lightning was probably Foliana or the Red Lightning Hawk himself. Rean's one would still be stronger, though. That's because Rean's Light Element and Yang Energy boosted it. "Now, this is a lot more like it. There are no impairments anymore."


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. ;)
