Chapter 465 - Returning to the Myriad of Techniques

"W-Why are you on the floor?" Yuan asked the manager in a dumbfounded voice.

"Please, Young Master, have mercy! Even if you take out so many black horns, my store cannot afford all of them!" The manager said in a crying voice.??

"Ehh..." Yuan was speechless.

This is the reason why he kowtowed to them? Can’t he simply tell them that they didn’t have enough money?

"That’s fine. How much can you buy?"

The manager lifted his head and asked in a dumbfounded voice, "Y-You’re willing to forgive me?"

"Yes?" Yuan said.

The manager then stood up and said, "A-About 100 horns is the most I can afford."

"That’s fine."

"Thank you, Young Master! Please give me a minute to prepare the money!"

About ten minutes later, the manager returned with a thousand gold coins in his hands.

"Here you go, Young Master."

After accepting the money, Yuan handed it to Yu Rou.

"Shall we leave now?"

Yu Rou nodded.

"W-Wait a moment... Young Master, what about the rest of your black horns?" The manager asked him.

"Hm? Oh, you can keep them." Yuan said in a casual manner.

"Excuse me?" The manager looked at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.

"Even if you cannot buy them, we have no use for them, so we’ll give them to you for free," Yuan said to the manager.

"R-Really?"

"Yes. You don’t mind it either, right, Yu Rou?" Yuan asked her.

"I don’t really care. We did it mostly for the experience, anyway," she nodded.

Although 3,000 gold coins may be worth a lot to the average player, in front of Yu Rou, who was exposed to wealth countless times more than that by Yuan, it was as little as a drop of water in an ocean.

"Thank you very much, esteemed guests!" The manager bowed to them and refused to lift his head until they left.

"Are we going to the Myriad of Techniques now?" Yu Rou asked after they left.

"It’s getting dark outside so let’s wait until tomorrow," Yuan said as he looked at the darkening sky.

"Alright. See you guys later." Yu Rou said to them.

"Goodnight." Xia Jingyi said.

After logging off, Meixiu began cooking dinner.

Meanwhile, Yuan tried his best to breakthrough to Spirit Master.

’I should’ve asked Xiao Hua when I had the chance... I guess I will do it tomorrow.’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

After failing to breakthrough, Yuan stopped trying until after dinner.

The following morning, after breakfast, Yuan and Meixiu met up with Yu Rou and Xia Jingyi.

"Good morning, brother." Yu Rou waved at them.

"Good morning." Xia Jingyi said.

"Morning. Are you guys ready to head to the Myriad of Techniques?" Yuan asked them.

"Yes!"

"Is there one in this city?" Yuan then asked.

"There is. I looked it up yesterday. Follow me." Yu Rou said to them.

Yuan and the others followed Yu Rou, and after walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at this ordinary-looking store.

"It feels like yesterday..." Yuan mumbled in a low voice.

They entered the store a moment later, and a beautiful woman greeted them with a bright smile on her face.

However, this beautiful woman wasn’t Zhu Yuying like Yuan had expected; it was an entirely different person.

’She did say that she’ll be replaced soon...’ Yuan thought to himself.

"Welcome to the Myriad of Techniques. If this is your first time at our store, please put your hand on this crystal ball."

Xia Jingyi stepped forward and placed her hand on the crystal ball, which glowed a golden color.

"A heavenly destiny? Congratulations, young lady. You can access the first and second floor of the store. As for everyone else, you may go to whichever floor you’re authorized, and don’t try to cheat, because we have records of your results." The woman said to them.

Once they passed the entrance, Yuan said to them, "Meixiu, Yu Rou, Jingyi, you three can go look for a technique. I will be in the waiting room."

"You’re not coming with us?" Yu Rou asked him.

"I want to take this time to learn a technique that I’ve recently acquired, and I have something to talk to Xiao Hua about."

"Okay. Then we’ll be back!"

After Yu Rou and the others left, Xiao Hua turned to look at Yuan and asked him, "Brother Yuan wants to speak with Xiao Hua?"

Yuan nodded and said, "To be completely honest, I think I am at a bottleneck. Do you remember that one time when you shared your experience breaking through to Spirit Warrior with me? Can you also do the same for Spirit Master?"

"Brother Yuan is at a bottleneck? How is that possible?" Xiao Hua raised her eyebrows.

"Well... It’s a little bit complicated..." He sighed.

"It’s okay. If Brother Yuan needs help, Xiao Hua will do everything in her power to assist."

"Thank you."

Once they were in the waiting room that was a spacious area with many chairs spread out, Yuan took a seat on the floor and Xiao Hua stood in front of him.

She then raised her hand and poked him in the forehead with a soft glow on the tip of her fingers.

Yuan closed his eyes the next moment, and he began experiencing what Xiao Hua had experienced when she tried to breakthrough to Spirit Master.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the store, Yu Rou and the other two ladies wandered around the store.

"Do you have any techniques in mind?" Yu Rou asked Meixiu.

"No idea."

"Hmmm... I also don’t have any idea. Let’s just look around, I guess."

As for Yuan, he’d experience breaking through to Spirit Master hundreds... thousands of times in these hours.
