Chapter 42 Trading
"So, Senior Sister Yu came all this way late at night just to try and understand my daytime movement techniques from the wind?" Chen Yuan immediately understood Yu Qinglan's purpose.
Yu Qinglan nodded slightly, a hint of apology in her voice: "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Chen Yuan, for trying to comprehend your artistic conception without your permission."
"It's nothing, your ability to comprehend it is a testament to your talent." Chen Yuan shook his head, then suddenly remembered something and pressed on, "So, when Luo Hai mentioned that Senior Sister Yu's movement techniques and swordsmanship were seven-tenths similar to mine, was it because you secretly went to my training ground to try and understand my swordsmanship?"
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's statement, Yu Qinglan blushed immediately and quickly shook her head: "I didn't have any intention of spying. It just so happened that we chose the same gravity chamber."
"Moreover, I didn't learn it on purpose." Yu Qinglan sighed as she said this. "After mastering the 'Wind of Existence,' even if I don't actively activate it, those 'memories in the wind' will still affect me, although most of the effects are extremely slight."
"But you are different, Junior Brother Chen Yuan." Yu Qinglan suddenly looked solemn as she stared at Chen Yuan. "The power of intent you wield is too domineering and too powerful, so the memories it leaves behind are extremely intense."
"I only trained in that gravity chamber once, and you completely distorted my original swordsmanship and movement techniques." Yu Qinglan's tone was filled with helplessness. "Later, I tried to train back to my original swordsmanship, but I found that not only did I not make any progress, but I actually regressed the more I practiced."
"Only by imitating your skills can my swordsmanship and movement improve, but correspondingly, I will become more and more like your style."
"I don't know why only your swordsmanship is so strange." Yu Qinglan looked at Chen Yuan with a hint of resentment in her eyes: "So, I didn't follow you on purpose, but if I don't practice like this, my strength will keep declining until I fall to the bottom."
After hearing Yu Qinglan's explanation, Chen Yuan fell silent. This was the first time he had heard of this question, so he silently asked the system in his mind, "What would happen if someone else practiced the Swift Wind Sword Technique?"
The system quickly provided a response.
The answer is simple: because the Gale Sword Technique was optimized specifically for Chen Yuan, if others practice this sword technique, they will inevitably be tainted by his aura. This aura will repel other cultivation methods, and only by following the path of Chen Yuan's cultivation can they continue to improve.
Chen Yuan, having received the answer, was at a loss for words. So this was all a misunderstanding caused by a secret technique.
When Chen Yuan first heard about Yu Qinglan's situation from Luo Hai, he used his mental energy to sense that Yu Qinglan was hiding behind the door eavesdropping. He mistakenly thought that she had been spying on his cultivation.
That's why he specifically invited Luo Hai to the training ground for a sparring match. Sure enough, Yu Qinglan followed along, which made him even more certain of his guess.
I was planning to confront Yu Qinglan tonight, but I ended up learning the truth from her instead.
So in the end, Yu Qinglan was also harmed by her own cultivation technique. Chen Yuan felt strange, so he asked the system again, "Is there any way to restore someone who practices the Gale Sword Technique to normal?"
The system, which answers every question, replied quickly. The answer was yes, and it was very simple: all that was needed was to optimize a custom technique based on the other party's specific situation.
As long as Yu Qinglan also cultivates her own unique technique, she can resist the effects of the Gale Sword Technique and return to her normal state. In the future, she will have no problem cultivating other ordinary techniques and secret manuals.
So Chen Yuan fell into thought. To be honest, optimizing a cultivation technique from Earth was nothing to him now, especially after giving up universality. It would only cost him a few dozen kill points at most.
However, Chen Yuan was worried that this might expose the existence of the system.
After all, Chen Yuan knew that in a few hundred years, Earth would attract the investigation of the "Giant Axe Founder" because Hong had passed through 20 layers of the Illusionary Sea. Such a powerful being could easily rewind time, and by then, everything Chen Yuan had done on Earth would be seen by this strongest being in the universe.
Therefore, Chen Yuan always avoided directly exposing the system. Whenever there was a conversation related to the system, or even about his own identity, he would keep it to himself and dare not speak it aloud.
But then Chen Yuan thought, if he didn't reveal the existence of the system and only attributed the optimization ability to his own talent, wouldn't that attract the attention of the founder of the giant axe?
Chen Yuan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely, because the universe was too big and all kinds of powerful talents emerged one after another.
In the original story, Luo Feng possessed the Golden Horned Beast, a creature with the bloodline of the universe's pinnacle. This incredible encounter was only described as an "upper-middle" serendipity by his teacher, the Lord of Chaos City. This high praise was only due to the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique, "clone."
But is it merely an optimization technique? In the eyes of those powerful beings in the universe, it probably doesn't even count as a very powerful talent, because his current optimization level is still too low.
In other words, as long as the ability to "infinitely optimize" is not exposed, it will not be noticed by those powerful individuals.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan looked up at Yu Qinglan and said, "I've been thinking about it, and I think I can solve the problem you're facing."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Yu Qinglan's eyes lit up immediately: "How do we solve this!"
"You should know that the Gale Sword Technique I practice is because my talent was optimized from a C-grade manual," Chen Yuan said. Seeing Yu Qinglan nod, he continued, "Because this manual was optimized entirely based on my own physical condition, it was tainted with my aura, making it impossible for anyone other than me to practice it."
"Forced cultivation will lead to your current situation."
"So, all the troubles I've been going through lately are completely unwarranted?" Yu Qinglan pursed her lips, still feeling somewhat frustrated, but she knew she couldn't blame Chen Yuan.
After all, Chen Yuan was unaware that the realm of understanding he had comprehended was special, and he himself was unaware that his secret manual was strange.
Who would have thought that simply choosing a gravity chamber for training would lead to this attack?
"So, you know how to remove this effect?" Yu Qinglan asked, her tone filled with anticipation.
"I can tailor a cultivation technique to your specific physical condition," Chen Yuan said. "As long as you practice this technique, you will be able to resist the effects of the Gale Sword Technique and return to normal."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's words, Yu Qinglan's eyes lit up, then she seemed to remember something and frowned slightly: "Then will I still be able to cultivate other secret techniques in the future?"
"Of course," Chen Yuan said confidently.
"Then..." Yu Qinglan hesitated, but still asked, "What price do I need to pay to have a cultivation technique custom-made for me?"
"Customized cultivation techniques won't have much of an impact on you personally," Chen Yuan said, shaking his head. "However, I also need to pay a price for tailoring them to you."
"So in exchange, I hope to comprehend the power of your artistic conception," Chen Yuan stated his condition.
Indeed, Chen Yuan's goal was the "Wind of Existence" realm that Yu Qinglan possessed. This realm, which involves time, was of paramount importance to Chen Yuan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked having his secret discovered to optimize Yu Qinglan's cultivation technique.
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's request, Yu Qinglan showed an expression of astonishment, then nodded: "I can teach you the Wind of Existence, but I can't guarantee you'll learn it, because I only comprehended this branch of the artistic conception by chance."
"It's alright, as long as you allow me to observe when you unleash this intent." Chen Yuan smiled after Yu Qinglan agreed.
"Well then..." Yu Qinglan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that the deal was done and extended her hand to Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan understood and raised his hand to give her a high five.
Snapped!
Yu Qinglan finally smiled: "Deal!"
