Nie Li sighed looking at the moon,'She sure is rich!'
He had a wry smiled as thought about his situation, with fifty DSC a month pocket money.
"I don't need that much, I advocate fair deals since you have been honest, I honestly think ten thousand is enough of a price for me to tell you about it."
Nie Li decided to take that much only because he wanted her friendship along with money, If he over charged her it may bring about the wrath of her family.
Although he doubts that she would tell them about this deal, He still think that a fair or even a cheap price would be better. The main reason behind asking for money is not actually money anyways.
He can see that she is under a lot of pressure and her thirst for power and validation is off the roof, but he doesn't know her hardships and family situation so but he decided to play it safe.
"Are you sure? " Xiao Ninger asked surprised.
Nei Li nodded and said "The illness you are suffering from is the Arctic Disease. This illness can be treated. You can look it up in the Holy Orchid Institute's library. By training at night, it would often lead to chilled air entering the body, blocking the veins. The Arctic Disease would, in light cases, cause the person to get seriously ill, and in serious cases, it would cause the body to explode."
"Really?" replied Xiao Ning'er. Her hopes were raised, "How can it be treated?"
"The Daoyin technique must be used to massage the affected areas, to dissipate the bruise. Medicine made from combining Golden Striped Grass with Imperial Sky Grass must be consumed daily, with your situation, for roughly a month or so. In the best case scenario, ten days could be enough for you to be fully recovered from the illness,"Nie Li said. This was indeed the method to treat Arctic Disease.
He has already covered a great portion of books about herbolgy and medicines in library and A. I. Chip could easily relay the information directly to him.
"Daoyin technique?" repeated Xiao Ning'er. She knitted her brows. She's a member of a Noble family, but she had never heard of any Daoyin technique before.
"In addition to these treatment methods, you must also make sure to not train your soul force at night in the future," Nie Li said as he looked towards Xiao Ning'er. He followed up with, "The root cause for this is also your cultivation technique."
"My cultivation techniques ?" Xiao Ninger asked bewildered
"Yes, you should change it or you should have it improvised if you want to continue. If you pay me a good enough price I am willing to have it done for you!" Nie Li said, closing one of his eyes. He was honestly very intrigued about the techniques used by the nobles. He wanted to see it.
With A.I.Chip, maybe he can optimize it for her. Honestly it were anyone else he would not have taken the risk but Ninger give him a good feeling, so he offered a helping hand.
Xiao Ning looked up at Nie Li. If a stranger were to ask her to take out her cultivation technique, she'd feel that they're simply trying to swindle her. But she, after seeing Nie Li's expression, couldn't help feeling a sense of trust towards him in her heart. Nie Li had told her so much already, so she had decided to place her trust in him. She retrieved her cultivation technique from her interspatial ring and to hand it to him. It was a piece of slightly aged parchment paper, with a bunch of densely packed words written on it.
Nie Li patted the grass in front of him, signaling her to put it there. She raised an eyebrow but quietly layed the techniques on the ground. Nie Li picked it up and he was carefully reading the paper.
Nie Li's expression, when he looked at the parchment paper, was especially serious. Inwardly he commanded the Chip, 'A. I. Chip, record this technique and try to optimize it '
[ Task Established! Recording... ! Finished! Optimizing....!Optimization Estimate Time : 2 hours 17 minutes 4 second..]
"This...! A huge and powerful noble family's direct bloodline actually practices this kind of low-grade cultivation technique. Is she lying to me and handed me a different one? No, I don't think she is lying. Comparing this to the technique I have seen so far from the library is just preposterous!" Nie Li quietly exclaimed in his mind as he thought about what to do.
'...2 Hours Hmmm, I don't need to wait for that long to fully optimize it, let's just replace the wrong parts and give it to her. It shall solve her problems, there is no need to improve her technique'. Nie Li changed the commands and quickly asked to simply replace and add some parts from the database to stabilize the technique for Ninger.
Nie Li looked at her calmly, "This cultivation technique is probably a lost one and has some faults in it. it'll damage the meridian as one practices it. The reason behind your Arctic Disease can be largely attributed to this cultivation technique. Change this part from 'Earthly body' to 'Immortal body' and change this to 'physique and mind'…" Nie Li continued to talk, altering the soul force cultivation technique a little bit. His alterations is not very refined as he is basically only focusing on modifying it a little, to make ends meet.
Xiao Ning'er, while listening to Nie Li as he altered her soul force cultivation technique, felt somewhat unconvinced. This cultivation technique was passed down by her ancestors. It was ranked six in the family's collection of cultivation techniques. How could it be altered on a whim by Nie Li?
Regardless, Xiao Ning'er still listened to Nie Li's words. She was, after all, a practitioner of this cultivation technique, so she had some experience on some matters regarding it. Gradually, Xiao Ning'er realised that the modifications Nie Li did to it were reasonable.
Xiao Ning'er's eyes widened and an incredible look was in them as she stared at Nie Li.
Even though she could only comprehend some of the modifications, she still managed to memorize what Nie Li said. The more she looked at it, the more she realised how much more stable the cultivation technique that was modified by Nie Li was.
Nie Li has effectively discarded the harmful parts, as he made the technique 5% more efficient. He does have a very vast library in his mind with contents from various language.
Although he can't understand and decipher them all. He knows that The A. I. Chip could, and also probably increase it efficiency and level to 70-80% and this is when he hasn't finished reading all of the books especially one concerning Cultivation.
Xiao Ning'er's gaze towards Nie Li initially had a hint of confusion in it, but it was soon turned into one filled with admiration.
How much knowledge regarding soul force must one have in order to change this high-ranked soul force cultivation technique to such an extent? Even Black Gold rank Demon Spiritualists wouldn't necessarily be able to do such a thing.
Treating it as a treasure, Xiao Ning'er deeply memorized all the modifications that Nie Li did to her cultivation technique in her heart. She couldn't tell what her feelings towards Nie Li were: awe, worship?
Nie Li's age was the same as hers, but Xiao Ning'er realised that there was a wide gap between them. It was ridiculous that she used to think that Nie Li was the 'tail of the class'. She realised just how ignorant Teacher Shen Xiu as she ridiculed commoners like Nie Li, claiming that they can never be successful and will always be bottom feeders.
Ever since she was young, no matter if it's talent or intelligence, Xiao Ning'er had far surpassed her peers. This was the first time she looked up to someone her own age.
"Considering that the technique was a fault for the disease itself, I will only charge you an extra ten thousand DSC for improving it?" Nie Li asked, looking towards Xiao Ning'er.
"I willing to pay you more, I think that the technique itself is worth much more than even hundred thousands DSC!" Xiao Ning'er quickly nodded and offered, Nie Li smiled but didn't decline.
Xiao Ninger asked hesitating, "Nie Li, do you know the Daoyin technique?"
