"What!"
"I thought I made a big deal this time but here I am left with only fifteen middle-grade mortal crystals," Oliver said lightly as he was walking off from the instructions and assessment hall.
He paid for five months for his apartment which was six middle-grade mortal crystals a month and he also but a magical cultivation technique which was called the battle step enhancement technique.
The technique was based on speed, how a magical cultivator could increase their speed, helping them in running and escaping from battle when they felt the chances of winning the battle is not high.
"Battle step enhancement technique is not even considered a mortal grade technique but some broken technique that they had tried to come up with ways to complete it, but no one could and most of the powerful magical cultivators won't waste their time to fix it up considering how no one knows what grade it would end up if it was fixed, so they just left it in the Dao technique room in the instruction and assessment hall as mysterious grade and anyone that believe that they could gain compression in studying the technique and can fix it they can go ahead and buy it". As Oliver was walking he was murmuring to himself that he felt things should be different from the way they were he just got his first huge sum of crystals and not even up to two hours he had used more than half of it.
Magical cultivation techniques were classified into four groups that Oliver knew of, which were mortal to heaven grade. Mortal grade techniques were the lowest of techniques followed by mysterious but the thing about mysterious grade techniques was that they were made up of broken techniques, techniques that are not complete some were lost during the time of battle and some got broken during the long run, why somewhere gotten on the fateful encounter but it was only some parts of it that were acquired by whoever acquired it.
The mysterious grade techniques were believed to be much higher in grade than the mysterious grade it was placed and it was believed that whoever could gain compression in it and was able to develop it further would be able to increase the level to the sky grade level but it was easier said than done, there were times when the story was heard of how powerful magical cultivators gain compression and was able to increase their mysterious grade techniques that they have been using for a long time into heaven grade technique which was the highest Oliver knew off.
After mysterious grade technique was the sky grade technique and the highest was the heaven grade technique which was hard to find and if found, it cost a lot to acquire it.
"That foggy took his time to deal with me and he took a lot of my mortal grade crystals and was wearing that silly smile of his like he was helping me"
"When the table will turn around someday he will pay double and painfully all he had taken from me let him enjoy his victory". When Oliver was far away from the assessment hall he could not help but complain a little louder than before looking back at the instruction and assessment hall with a grin on his face like he was planning on how he would pay back Hall Master Leo.
Oliver was holding a green card in his hand as he was walking in the street of the ninth city he had gotten all the information he needed about his new house, not walking up to fifteen minutes he got to a street and looked from the starting of the street he discover that it was a closed street with an abandon like building at the end and it was further away from all the other building in the street like it was secluded from all the other buildings.
"That cunny Hall Master thought he treated me wrongly and won by giving me this kind of apartment that some parts of it are destroyed, but the thing is that one man's food is another poison, and seeing this place am finally having a feeling of belong, I like this place".
Oliver thought to himself with a peaceful smile on his face when he saw the building from the distance he was, he quickly hasten his steps to get closer and see what the place was like from a close view. As he was walking down the street heading to the desolated house, people that were in the street were looking at him and they were all wondering why would someone that young will be going to a building that should be met for an old magical cultivator that couldn't increase their strength anymore and was at the end of the road looking for a peaceful place to spend their time and die in peace.
Everyone in the street was able to know that Oliver just bought the apartment because they could see the green card of ownership in his hand and he was also carrying a cute little cat that was sleeping comfortably in his embrace
"I said I won't be going to the ninth forest for some time and will be leaving peacefully but I need lots of crystal to live well," Oliver said to himself as he walked and got to the front of the building it was like he had a change of plans from what he had in mind before.
"I need crystals so I will give what I have to acquire them and that is the cooking skill I have learned over the years," Oliver said lightly as he opened the gate to the apartment he heard a cracking noise come from the gate like it had been long it was used.
At the same time, Oliver left the instruction and assessment hall, Hall Master Leo pass the news about Oliver to those higher than him telling them a new magical cultivator was now among the new set of people that entered Samsara recently.
