Lynn commented on Noah's choice while he stood up from his chair and brought the crystal in a deeper part of the room .
He placed the mineral on a small cavity on the floor and the inscriptions around it lighted up .
When the light faded, a small book had appeared in that spot .
Lynn handed the book to Noah and he stored it, he had still other transactions to do .
"Professor, I wonder if you could solve one of my doubts . "
Lynn caressed his beard and nodded .
"Why is the value of spells and techniques so high? Isn't it possible to simply copy the forms and diagrams?"
Lynn smiled lightly before replying .
"When and inscription master writes a diagram, it is generally drawn according to his comprehension . Since it's quite impossible to copy someone else intention when he inscribes, it is hard to make copies of a certain technique . Martial arts are a bit different as they are simpler in their descriptions, that's why their value is lower . "
'So, I can't make a copy of the Surging river spell . '
"Thank you, Professor . I would like to acquire more techniques, the instruction's book said that I could buy them with merit points, Credits, and by trade, am I right?"
Lynn nodded again .
"Do you already know what are you looking for?"
"Darkness spells and rank 4 body-nourishing methods that require the darkness element . "
Lynn's eyes widened, he was surprised that such a young man was so certain of what he was in need of .
"The value of darkness spells is quite high since not even the academy as that many of them . I think you can only afford a rank 0 one for now . As for the body-nourishing method, its price isn't low either . "
Noah took out a small scroll from his space-ring and showed it to Lynn .
The Professor carefully examined it and was quite interested after a few looks .
Noah spoke before he could say anything .
"I have one thousand Credits and that spell, are they enough?"
The scroll contained the Surging river spell .
Since Noah had no usage for it, it was better to exchange it for something that could increase his strength .
Money was the same: what was the point of accumulating it? It was better to spend it on useful techniques .
He could always make more of it later when he had become stronger .
Lynn put a hand under his chin and fell in thought .
After a few seconds, he picked the crystal again and concentrated .
"Which body-nourishing method did you train into?"
"Forging of the Seven Hells . "
Lynn stopped his concentration for a moment and looked at Noah .
A bit of pity was exuded from his eyes when he looked at the youth .
He then resumed his focus and tossed the crystal to Noah when he was done .
The list of techniques and spells wasn't long, it had at best twenty-five names and most of them were rank 0 spells .
'Dark blade, enhances sharpness . Dark membrane, light defensive ability…'
Noah read through them but he couldn't find anything interesting .
He saw a rank 1 spell called Black coil which he could use but he believed that his martial art enhanced with his Demonic form was on its same level .
The others were supportive spells that existed for any other element .
'I couldn't expect much more since I have one of the best darkness spells already . Buying a rank 1 spell now will only hinder my combat style since using the Demonic form will always be the best choice at any moment . I should probably pick a supportive rank 0 one that enhances my normal status so that I can rely less on the Demonic form . '
He switched his attention to the body-nourishing methods .
There were ten methods but only three of them had the darkness element as a requirement .
Of those three, only two of them had special abilities that could be mastered once he reached the fourth rank .
'These two are surely more valuable, they remember me of Kevin's transformation . '
The prices were written on the sides of each name and Noah paled a bit when he looked at the ones of the two methods .
They were priced more than forty thousand Credits each!
The rank 0 spells costed "only" eight thousand Credits in comparison .
He raised his gaze and spoke to Lynn in a soft voice .
"How much is my spell worth?"
Lynn shook his head and replied calmly .
"It is a spell that can express the power of a rank 4 magic . Don't worry, just pick one for each category and you will be fine . "
Noah focused again on the two body-nourishment methods .

'Way of the phantom, reaching rank 4 will allow the user to increase his stealth abilities, as well as becoming completely invisible and ethereal for a short period of time . '
'Yin body, reaching rank 4 will give the user a body with high regenerative proprieties . It will also store "Breath" that can be used to momentarily enhance the qualities of the body, mainly the regenerative one . '
'They seem both really good . The phantom form is really interesting, it could help me escape any situation and I believe that it has many applications in battle . However, the Yin body seems to match well with the Forging of Seven Hells since I should be able to store more "Breath" than normal cultivators . '
They were both really suitable for survival and it took Noah quite a bit to finally decide .
He passed back the crystal to Lynn and spoke calmly .
"I want the rank 0 spell Shadow steps and the rank 4 body-nourishing method Yin body . "
Lynn nodded and replied .
"I will value the spell fifty thousand Credits . Sadly, it is of a common element which makes it easier to copy so its value is barely enough for you to buy what you've chosen . "
He returned to the spot where he first took the martial art and repeated the same procedure as before .
When he came back, he had two scrolls in his hands and twenty shining Obsidian Credits .
"These are the method and the spell that you asked for, added to two thousand Credits of change from the value of your spell . "
Noah put everything in the space-ring and he could not help to ask another question .
"May I know how much it costs to buy a rank 4 darkness spell?"
Lynn showed a complex smile .
"They are pretty rare and almost impossible to copy . You should have a sum superior to two hundred thousand Credits if you really want to think of buying one . "
