"Now, what should I ask of him?"
Abel never expected such a gift from heaven, and he clearly wasn't going to miss it, so he thought deeply about it.
"Maybe I should ask him for a storage bag, after all I know they are quite difficult to obtain, and having one would save me trouble."
Abel thought it would be a good option, since that way he would not have to return in the future to look for the fur of the lion of thunder and fire that he hid near the cabin, since he would only put it in his storage bag and problem solved.
"Well, if I don't think of anything better, I'll ask you that, so what other things do I need?"
Abel thought deeply about this, actually, as his situation was quite special, what the cultivators needed the most that were resources, that were not necessary for him, what he needed in themselves were few things, among them:
"First, martial techniques, but not just any martial technique, although I can use the low level ones as a reference when creating my own, really in a life and death combat or quick confrontation, the low level martial techniques are quite useless. , even if I throw them point blank."
From their recent match, Abel got the hard way of this, as in the end, the only technique he used that he had obtained from the library was the lightning palm, and he did it simply to expel Lyan from the arena, ultimately in his Confronting Drake and his five-star art, techniques like that were pretty useless.
"Well, maybe I should ask him if he has any martial techniques, and most of all, body strengthening techniques."
Thinking of this, Abel turned his gaze from him to the lady and asked:
"Do they also have martial techniques, or some strengthening body technique?"
Hearing this, the lady was shocked, and she gave Abel a puzzled look, but then she replied:
"While our sect has different martial techniques and some strengthening techniques for forge masters, to learn them you must at least be formally an apprentice alchemist or master forge master, as those techniques are reserved for our disciples only."
Hearing this, Abe, instead of lamenting, was quite happy, although it seemed that the lady could not directly provide those techniques, everything would be solved once he entered the sect, moreover, what moved him the most was the fact that they did have body-strengthening techniques.
"With this, I won't have to worry about my body not being able to keep up with my cultivation advance, even if it isn't an excellent strengthening technique like that of the Kur family in Kunlun."
Thus, Abel could avoid worrying about this for a while, easing the pressure from him regarding this issue.
The lady was surprised to see Abel's cheerful expression, but she just shook her head, dejected.
"If you value martial and strengthening techniques more, then why do you still insist on joining our sect? Although our collection is wide, we attach more importance to techniques and arts to be able to create artifacts or pills more successfully."
Abel did not notice the defenseless expression of the lady, while he thought what other things she might need and thus ask for.
"The following would be good artifacts, although these daggers are quite resistant, these last two uses of the art of the double sword have left them very battered, he estimated that a couple more uses and they will end up breaking."
Although Abel did not know how good the dagger he found was, if he had noticed that it was in a very bad condition, as for the dagger that old Ben gave him, it was not in better condition, but it was not very good. dagger, as it was the one that showed the most cracks after the use of his martial art.
"But I think it is a waste to use a request to ask for some good swords, after all, the sect that I am going to join stands out for their creations, besides I doubt that I will have to use my daggers again like now in that environment, I might as well wait a bit and create some for me."
Abel's idea was not entirely crazy, after all, he had a rank 3 mutated beast nucleus, which could serve as a nucleus for the weapon that he creates in the future, in addition, being a double affinity nucleus of fire and thunder was excellent for him, who had a double affinity.
Thus, after a good 10 minutes of reflecting on the subject, Abel came to a conclusion:
"I am sure that, in addition to techniques of the sect, she must have some of her own, after all, I do not think that someone who has their cultivation base sealed is a nobody without their own techniques, so I will insist on that issue, from what Otherwise, I will order a pair of swords and the space storage bag."
Having made up his mind, he turned his gaze to the lady, who was silently meditating, and said to her.
"Senior, I'm sure that, if she told me earlier that cult techniques cannot be shown to strangers, then it must mean that she has some non-cult techniques right?"
Hearing this, the lady opened her eyes, and she appraised Abel curiously, before saying with a playful tone:
"I see that you are quite interested in martial techniques, have you stopped the ones that suddenly appeared in your mind?"
Hearing this, Abel's face turned somewhat red, and he could not help lowering his head a little, avoiding the lady's gaze, clearly he did not expect that mockery from her.
Seeing Abel's reaction, the lady smiled widely, she seemed amused to see Abel's embarrassed state, it was only after a moment that her tone turned serious and she told him:
"It is just as you thought, although I have some techniques that are not from the sect, seeing that you are a swordsman with double attributes, they are not very useful for you, but if you like, you can take a look, but let me warn you, yes. you get to choose one of these, depending on which one you choose, your 3 requests will decrease."
Thus, without much hesitation, the lady took out 5 books and placed them in front of Abel, who quickly took one and began to evaluate them, only to be surprised afterwards.
"My goodness, all of these techniques are at least mid-range and upwards!"
Writing down this detail, Abel could not help but take another look at the lady, thinking about who it could really be, after all, a Tom, Dick or Harry could not have in his possession 5 manuals of this level, much less drop them as if nothing.
The lady on her side said nothing when noticing Abel's gaze, as she returned a meaningful gaze to him.
Realizing that the lady had no intention of saying anything, Abel just shook his head and concentrated on the 5 techniques that were in front of him.
"From what I can tell, 2 are attack techniques, the rest are respectively a movement technique, a defensive technique and a body strengthening technique."
Noticing that there was a strengthening of the body, Abel wanted to scream with joy, but held back, after all, it was not the time for it, so he first calmed down before carefully analyzing each one of them.
This performance astonished the lady, reinforcing her assessment of him.
"It seems that it is just as I thought, the most terrifying thing about this child is not his cultivation, but his mental state, I purposely gave him those high-ranking martial techniques to see how he would react, and it was just as I expected, although his eyes gave away joy, they quickly returned to being deep wells, without any disturbance in them."
The lady continued to evaluate Abel as he reviewed each technique, trying to see which ones caught her attention, in the end, she noticed that Abel lingered the longest in the books with the defensive technique and the body strengthening technique.
Realizing this, the lady frowned a little, thinking:
"Those two techniques in particular should be quite useless for him, after all, the defensive technique is water attribute and the body strengthening technique is made for women, how strange."
What he didn't know was that Abel had already noticed this, although somewhat disappointed, he still decided to take a good look at it to store it in his memory, after all, who knows when a particular technique will be needed? "
"*Sigh*, the heavens must be making fun of me, the first body strengthening technique I come across and it is actually for women, as for the defensive technique, it is even worse, it is only suitable for those with water or ice attribute , it seems that today is not my lucky day. "
In the end, it turned out as the lady had mentioned, they were not helpful to him, in the best of cases, they would serve as a reference if in the future he created his own martial technique.
"The 2 attack techniques are for spear and whip users, the movement technique is only for those who have wind attribute, needless to say of the others, *sigh*, I begin to believe that it was better not to ask."
Somewhat dejected, Abel left the martial techniques on the table, in the end, the only consolation he found was that they could inspire him in the future when he created his own martial technique.
The lady noticed that Abel was dejected, which she expected, she had already seen Abel's performance on stage, so she knew that what he had in his possession was not of much help to him, but to cheer him up a bit, decided to say:
"I see that you are interested in the techniques of strengthening the body and in the defenses, if that is the case, I recommend that you become a smith apprentice as soon as possible, although not many, our sect has some of the same quality and even a major one, but as you know, they are reserved only for the disciples."
Hearing this, Abel perked up, clearing his mind of any negative thoughts.
"That's right, this is real life, I am not a damn protagonist of a novel who hardly needs something he gets it hopefully, at least, I am not so lost, as soon as I join the burning fire sect and have the points of necessary sect, I will be able to obtain those techniques."
So, cheering up, in the end, she decided to ask for the space storage bag, to which the somewhat surprised lady gave one without thinking twice, as for the last two requests, she decided to use them at a later time, to which the lady nodded in agreement.
Shortly after that matter was resolved and when noticing that it was already night, the lady got up and said to Abel:
"You should pack your things and rest well, tomorrow we will depart for the burning fire sect."
Hearing this, Abel was thrilled, but decided to control himself and offered the lady to stay the night, to which she declined, before heading out the door and disappearing into the darkness of the night, leaving Abel in his midst. thoughts:
"Tomorrow I will leave for the Burning Fire Sect huh, as far as I know, it is quite a long way from here, after all, this village is almost on the border of Nill County."
Thinking about this, Abel took out the little jade with the Nill County information that old Ben gave him, to get an idea of the whole journey that he would take with the lady until he reached the sect.
"Now that I think about it, I didn't ask for his name."
It was only at this moment that the lady never mentioned her name, and Abel, somewhat confused, did not notice this fact until now.
"Anyway, if she didn't mention it, then there's no need to know,"
Thinking like this, Abel began to read the jade slip, and it was only after half an hour that he looked up, a stunned expression on his face.
"Incredible, to get to the burning fire sect, we will have to go through at least 4 biomes, the largest being the meadow ... *sigh*, if that's the case, I'd better go to bed early."
Thus, with emotion in his eyes, Abel decided to meditate a little before going to sleep, although he did not get what he wanted, he knew where to find it and how to obtain it, so with great anticipation, he soon fell asleep, dreaming of his future in the Burning Fire Sect and on the Azure Continent.
