Death... and me

In Rean's eyes, the distribution of the girl's meridians was a complete mess. 'If I'll be honest, she better stops cultivating. Otherwise, she'll definitely explode at some point.'

Hearing that, Roan shared the cultivation technique she was using so far, telling him, 'That would be the case if she was using a normal cultivation technique. However, take a look at this one.'

Rean then stopped what he was doing for a bit to pay attention to the memories Roan sent his way. 'That's... quite impressive. Whoever came up with this thing knew very well what he was doing. Then again, if I can tell this much, there's no way you missed that, right?'

Roan nodded, replying, 'Correct. In any case, my job is to improve it and eliminate the flaws so that Magali can cultivate further. However, due to how her meridians are messed up, I'll need your help in that regard. You have a better idea of how the changes I have in mind would affect her.'

'Sure,' Rean answered. 'Just write the new technique and show it to me. Or better yet, tell her to cultivate the technique with the modifications you made and use your Divine Sense and Energy to check her body. After that, send your memories about it to me.'

Magali was obviously getting impatient since Roan had been holding her shoulder for a while already. "Are you done already?"

Roan opened his eyes after hearing that. "I already have an idea of the changes that must be made on the technique. Give me a few minutes."

With that, he sat down and began to write on a jade slip the new changes to the technique. Every now and then, he would ask Rean's opinion to make sure it wouldn't bring Magali to kill herself.

Sanga and Magali looked at each other and didn't say anything. It was then that the door of the room opened, and a man with a middle-aged appearance entered. "Oh, you two are here. I heard that the cultivator who'll work on Magali's technique is already here."

"Dad, you're back quite early," Magali said after hearing the man's words.

Sanga also nodded. "Mavo, you arrived at a good time. Help me take a look at the technique once this brat is done with it."

Mavo was obviously the man's name. "Who? This youngster? Are you kidding?"

Roan completely ignored the man, though. Sanga understood Mavo's concern, so she used her Divine Sense to tell everything that had happened so far.

It's just that Mavo still had doubts, just like everyone else. "He's impressive, I'll give you that. But Sanga's cultivation technique is very important. Are you sure you want him to do it?"

Sanga shrugged her shoulders as she replied, "It's not like we have much choice. We aren't rich, remember? Besides, we'll be able to check the technique before Magali tries it out."

"I'm finished," Roan said soon after, much to their surprise.

"Already?" Naturally, just a few minutes passed, so they couldn't believe Roan had changed the thing at all. "We want something good, not just some tweaks. How many changes would you be able to do in such a short time?"

Roan then threw the jade slip at Sanga and Mavo after that. "Just check it for yourself. After that, I need Magali to give it a try since I have to check the results."

Sanga and Mavo obviously took a look at it together with Magali. A few moments later, the doubts in their faces disappeared. Instead, astonishment could be seen there. "This..."

Magali then looked at Roan and asked, "How did you think of all the modifications so fast?"

Roan shook his head in response as he replied, "It just looks like I did a lot, but that isn't really the case. The impressive one was the person who first created it for you. I just worked on the technique that person developed. Anyways, forget about that. Did you three find any problems?"

Mavo and Sanga had no choice other than to shake their heads in response. In fact, the cultivation technique seemed many times better now. Of course, they had to check the results with Magali, who was also eager to try it out. "Magali, see how it goes."

Roan then gave her a warning, saying, "If you feel any discomfort, even if just slightly, stop cultivating immediately. You meridians are a mess, so you might even explode from it."

Magali couldn't help but sweat a little after hearing that. "And you want me to give it a try?!"

Naturally, Mavo and Sanga also looked with dark expressions at Roan after that.

Well, it wasn't like Roan couldn't understand what they were thinking. "Hmph! Just so you know, the chances of you dying while cultivating the older version were even higher. Seriously, how the hell are you still alive? That's the real question I should be asking. Anyways, if you stop cultivating as soon as you feel anything wrong, nothing will happen to you, so give it a try already."

Sanga and Mavo had their concerns, asking, "What do you mean she had a higher chance of dying?"

"I meant what I said. The technique was indeed quite good when Magali started cultivating. However, due to her meridians' problems, her body developed in a way no one could predict. Even the person who created this technique for her could not predict that. The old technique simply isn't suitable anymore. It's also why she isn't able to progress in her cultivation."

Roan then looked at Magali and asked, "You probably felt it, didn't you? You felt that if you had forced your way with the old technique, something bad would happen."

Magali was taken aback. "I..."

Sanga and Mavo were shocked to hear that. "Is that true, Magali?"

Magali could only nod in the end. Roan saw right through her. "I... didn't want to worry you two, so I simply stopped cultivating."

"I have no time for family issues." Sure enough, Roan wasn't in the mood to wait for them. "Just try it out already."

Magali and her parents obviously didn't like how Roan behaved. Then again, his knowledge did give them some confidence. "Alright, we will discuss this later. Give it a try, Magali."
