6 Cultivation Technique 1

After seeing Lucas standing still, Felip Cai was a little agitated when he felt a formidable aura co

ming from him.

Just looking at Lucas' eyes, he felt that he is looking at the eyes of a predator.

However, his pride still kept on raging, wanting to defeat Lucas in front of everyone. He can't afford to humiliate himself too in this crowd.

"H-Ha! I guess you have a treasure that doesn't require cultivating. Good for you, but that won't work when I let you taste my family's martial technique!"

As the rage of Felip resounded to the whole area of the door of the building, everyone who was watching expressed their disdain for Lucas.

One by one, they mocked Lucas that seems to be unaffected by their sneers. He was just smiling, keeping his composure while activating a strengthening spell on his body.

'I really want to try this cultivation and try to resist using magic. But this situation needs my safety. I'll make an exception other than using flight.' He thought in himself, trying to reason his own decisions.

For some reason, he wanted to hide the fact that he can fly and be considered an expert. For him, it is too fake and bothering. So, since he can handle things like just how the guy before him does it, he is saving his underhanded card.

"What a scum. So he was just using a treasure all along."

"There's really no way for a mortal to have that strong pressure. Kill him, Felip Cai! Let him taste the rage of cultivators!"

"I pity him. I think he's just getting his confidence from his family. I bet that his family can't save him right now. He's going to die."

It was like a drilling noise for Lucas. But it really didn't affect his composure. After leaving thousands of years, he learned how to keep his mental stability.

If not for that, every offender would die from his hands in his previous world.

However, there is someone at the back of the commotion. The manager of the shop was watching them, hesitating if he will intervene.

He is afraid of this commotion. Not because of Felip Cai who comes from a wealthy background, but from the mysterious individual – Lucas who doesn't budge by their claims.

The manager was observing them from the beginning. Cannot intervene because he felt inferior looking at Lucas.

'There's no way that he is just a mortal. No mortal can keep up with the pressure coming from Felip Cai's cultivation base. This must be an expert with a high cultivation base that's why we can't feel his cultivation base! There's a huge disparity between us! Forget about Felip Cai. I must not offend this expert!' The manager thought whilst crying inwardly.

"Aren't you embarrassed that it just took me one swing to throw you?" Lucas mocked him with a smirk on his lips.

Felip just gritted his teeth in frustration. He hissed once more before sending another attack. "Let's see if you can keep up with our martial technique. If you can stand still, and keep your treasure still, I will call you master!"

Feeling confidence within himself, Felip thought that there's nothing he can lose in his bet. Even he was unaware of Lucas's strength, he was sure that Lucas is a mortal since there's no cultivation base he can sense from him.

Gathering energy to his fist, he embraced his right fist before rushing again to Lucas.

"Majestic Crimson Trade Strike!" He exclaimed after releasing the energy he gathered from his fist.

Lucas widens his eyes not by surprise, but in intrigued because he can't feel any mana with it. It looks like an offensive spell from his perspective.

"That's right! Be surprise!" Felip laughed when he saw Lucas widened.

But after his early celebration, when the attack got near Lucas, pressure exploded as the attack hit on something.

Dust covered the area as little smoke are also visible from the aftermath. The door of the building was almost destroyed.

"He's dead for sure."

Everyone concluded that Lucas would receive an injury from it. However, when Lucas's position started to settle down, they were gawking their eyes when they saw Lucas, standing still with a barrier spell covering him.

"A-A formation?!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they saw the bluish light from the arc dome that covers Lucas.

Though it is also not the best move to use a barrier, Lucas thought that he might lighten up the situation with another spell. Just hearing it from Felip, he thought that he could reason out that he has a treasure since Felip clearly speculated him using a treasure.

And for that term 'treasure', he thought that it is the same as artifacts, or rather artifacts themselves.

But the outcome was not expected. Seems like they thought of it as a formation, and he already knows basic information about it.

Formations or arrays show different effects depending on a symbol and characters made and being infused with spiritual energy.

"He created a formation in just a few seconds!" The manager was also astonished when he saw Lucas unscathed. Furthermore, he was still on his ground, didn't budged from the pressure!

However, the manager inspected Lucas's barrier. "It's not a formation. I can't feel any familiar energy from it!" He added.

'This is really an expert! He is beyond what is common!'

Meanwhile, Lucas who was seemingly irritated by it squinted his eyes on the trembling Felip.

"Are you done? If you are, let me have you a taste of my attack too." Lucas coldly said while fixing his robe.

But before he could receive a reply or another mocking from Felip, he saw him running away from the area.

Lucas scoffed as he gazed at the audience, "Now scram. Don't irritate me by your faces." He demanded and immediately, everyone ran away from him.

"Now… the mess is finally settled." He mumbled before going back to the shop he was about to enter earlier.

He saw the guards that didn't intervene with the commotion. As he knew that that person earlier was an arrogant young master of a wealthy background, he didn't take a grudge it to the guards since he knew that they were just keeping their lives intact.

When one of the guards tremble, he just tapped its shoulder and uttered, "It's okay. Nothing to be guilty of or scared of. You were just powerless." He smiled before continuing his steps.

Costumers in the building were now wary of him. They just saw a showdown of prowess, they can't afford to offend him too.

Moments later, the manager approached Lucas with a smile of enthusiasm on his face.

"W-Welcome to Golden Pavilion, Senior!" The manager greeted him.

'Senior?' He raised his eyebrows. 'So he must be thinking that I am a powerful cultivator too, huh?'

"The name is Lucas. Don't call me senior, it bothers me." Lucas said while venturing his eyes inside the shop.

The shop was selling different kinds of resources for cultivation. There are also different types of techniques displayed on shelves.

Lucas nods as he was already mesmerizing himself in the shop.

This calls him a different vibe. Although he practiced magic for his whole life, he hasn't visited any shop similar to this.

As resources are just general in his world, there are no present stores that sell spells apart from libraries.

"Yes, Young Master Lucas."

Lucas raised his eyebrows again but didn't bother to correct it. He just ignored it and continued walking.

"I'm looking for a cultivation technique. Where is it displayed?" He asked.

But before the manager could answer, Lucas asked for his name, baffling him.

"I-I am called Oliver Xieng, Young Master," Oliver answered.

"I see… Oliver. Then, I will take my time in searching for cultivation technique." Lucas said.

"Please do so." Oliver bowed before leaving Lucas and ordered the servants around to please Lucas since he can't keep up with the pressure around him.

And since he knew that Lucas is a reasonable person, he wasn't agitated by the idea that maybe if he gets offended, he will vent out his anger at the shop.

As there are more servants around Lucas, trying to please him with some suggestions, he didn't mind it as he was not an expert himself. At least, their suggestions can help him decide on what he should buy.

Ranging from 30 gold coins, cultivation techniques are expensive since the lowest price was for a Spirit-rank technique.

Lucas just awkwardly swallowed his saliva since he also doesn't know the currency of this world. He can't waste his money on different items.

Looking for more technique, he realized that he must not think of it lightly. Despite its price was hectic, he must have a high-quality technique that would help him heavily in his cultivation.

Techniques like this are really a foundation, so while he thinks about walking in the cultivation path, he must divide the aptitude of techniques he'll learn in the future.

"So this one helps your aptitude in Sword Auras. However, I don't know martial arts, so I guess I should find more of a neutral technique." He mumbled after reading some description of a technique he just picked.

Since he remembered that the servants were following him, he looked at one of them and asked, "Is there a cultivation technique that doesn't help you in any aptitudes or something? More of a general technique."

The servant ponders for a seconds before nodding. "There is, young master. It is more of an advance of the basic technique that can be sold anywhere. I will get it for you, please wait for a moment."

A few moments later, the servant came back with a technique on its hands; handed it to Lucas.

Lucas read the description of the technique and smiled in delight. "This is really a general technique." He mumbled.
