God of Pets

Chapter 572 Master Jia

When Ma Xiaolong woke up, he found himself lying on a bed in a room. He struggled to get up, but felt extremely sore all over.

“Your poison has just been neutralized, and you need to rest for a while,” Chen Guan said, sitting at the table next to him with his back to Ma Xiaolong.

"Thank you so much, Master. If it weren't for you, I would have died at the hands of those bastards. From now on, if you need anything, just say the word, and I, Ma Xiaolong, will never flinch, even in the face of danger," Ma Xiaolong said.

"You should take care of yourself first." Chen Guan got up, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Ma Xiaolong, telling him to rest here and not worry about the rent. He had already paid for the room.

Chen Guan didn't stay long; he said a few words and then left.

They were teleported directly from the teleportation array in Ice City, leaving the Extreme Profound Great Yuan Cave Heaven.

The incurable poison of the King of Ten Thousand Poisons was even more potent than Chen Guan had imagined. Ma Xiaolong, despite being a cultivator of the Five Senses, was grazed by a flying knife coated with the incurable poison and quickly collapsed.

This is naturally a good thing for Chen Guan. The toxicity of the incurable poison can only be cured by the True Solution to Ten Thousand Poisons. This thing is definitely a deadly weapon.

However, the incurable poison only works when it draws blood. Chen Guan really wanted to coat his fist with the incurable poison, and then use the crippling fist, which would truly be incurable.

The only solution now is to poison the weapon, using its blade to break through the spirit's defenses and allow the incurable poison to take effect.

Chen Guan's current opponents are mostly at the sixth level of awakening. It's really not easy for ordinary weapons to break through the defense of a sixth-level awakening spirit.

"Once I get my hands on the Three Treasures of Great Xia, I'll add some incurable poison to the Mountain-Splitting Axe. It'll definitely be very effective at killing Mystic Spirits," Chen Guan thought to himself.

Chen Guan researched and found out what was suitable for him, and then he had the opportunity to acquire a composite movement technique.

There are many powerful movement techniques, and many famous ones. The ten major families all have their own unique combination of movement techniques.

However, these were all closely guarded secrets of their respective families, and Chen Guan had nowhere to obtain them.

Those famous masters of movement techniques are not people who can easily pass on their skills.

Even if some powerful movement techniques are revealed, their recipes usually contain secret techniques that are difficult to obtain, so knowing the recipes is not very useful.

After much research, Chen Guan realized that there were very few places where he could obtain movement techniques. The place with the best chance was a famous master of these techniques, "Master Jia".

However, the name "Master Jia" doesn't sound very good, not because his surname is Jia, but because he is a master who is obsessed with money.

He can teach you any secret technique as long as you're willing to pay.

He can teach any kind of combined secret technique you can think of, including movement techniques, swordsmanship, fist techniques, and spear techniques.

However, the techniques he taught, well, they weren't exactly precise.

It certainly has an effect, but the formula contains many shoddy techniques, meaning that its complex techniques are generally quite cumbersome and the effects are not top-notch.

It's usable, but it might consume a lot of energy, require a lot of time to practice so many secret techniques, or have a long wind-up, or have some kind of flaw.

So this Master Jia is truly both lovable and hateful. What we love is that as long as we're willing to spend money, we can customize the secret techniques we want, and achieve the effects we desire.

What I hate is that this secret technique just doesn't feel quite perfect.

Chen Guan didn't care, as long as the effect met his requirements. As for the issue of bulkiness, it wasn't a problem for him.

He had plenty of energy, and he practiced his secret techniques faster than others. Chen Guan traveled day and night, and when he arrived at Master Jia's residence, he saw that Master Jia's place was indeed bustling with people, many of whom came to him to commission secret techniques.

Moreover, Master Jia has many disciples, including many wealthy and powerful individuals who, due to insufficient family resources, cannot acquire good compound secret techniques.

There were also some disciples who didn't have much money, but were willing to work for Master Jia.

When Chen Guan arrived, all the number plates for the day had already been issued, so there was no chance to queue up.

"Hey bro, do you have any VIP passes here?" Chen Guan asked one of the disciples who was maintaining order.

"Yes, we've already given out all the bronze and silver VIP badges. There's only one Supreme Gold VIP badge left. It's 1,000 yuan. Do you want one?" the disciple said.

"How long will it take?" Chen Guan asked.

“The VIP Gold Medal number is assigned separately, and it’s personally received by my master. There are two people ahead of you,” the disciple said.

"I'll take it." Without wasting any words, Chen Guan directly took out a thousand yuan to buy the Supreme Gold VIP number plate.

Although a thousand yuan can only buy a chance to meet, and custom-made secret techniques will cost extra, Chen Guan's time is naturally more valuable than a thousand yuan, so it would be best not to wait.

Moreover, Chen Guan only now realized that the ordinary ten-yuan number plate was not used to receive Master Jia himself, but rather his disciple.

After the visitor states their needs, their disciple records them. Then, Master Jia selects a self-created secret technique for the person. From beginning to end, the visitor never sees Master Jia's face.

And whether it was Master Jia who made the choice, who knows?

Even self-created techniques that are purchased are not unique; they may have been bought by others before.

If you want to customize a unique technique, that will be at a different price.

Seeing the long line of cultivators, Chen Guan was led into a private room to wait.

There's no need to queue here; you can sit on the sofa and wait for your disciple to take you there. There are also snacks and drinks on the coffee table next to you.

"It really makes a difference when the money is right," Chen Guan couldn't help but exclaim.

Although there weren't many people here, and there was only one person ahead of Chen Guan in line besides the people in the master's room, it still took quite a while before it was Chen Guan's turn.

After Chen Guan was led into the room, he saw Master Jia, with white hair and a youthful face, sitting behind the desk with an air of otherworldly wisdom. He truly had the demeanor of a master.

"Young friend, what kind of secret technique do you need?" Master Jia asked in a gentle tone, his attitude quite friendly.

"I want to order a unique, secret technique." Chen Guan knew why Master Jia was so friendly; service was only available if there was money to be made.

Those who can afford to buy the Supreme Gold VIP badge will definitely also spend a lot of money to buy secret techniques. Master Jia naturally needs to show some service to such a god of wealth.

Master Jia's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Customizing a unique technique would start at five figures according to his pricing standards. The price would vary depending on the specific requirements, with some expensive techniques costing over one hundred thousand.

"Tell me your requirements." Master Jia's smile became even more amiable.

"I need a movement technique. This movement technique must be fast, extremely fast, and also agile and very skillful," Chen Guan said.
