Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Is it really good to show off in front of the vein master?

Facing Xiang Liang’s reprimand, Xiang Feifei lowered her head in defiant silence, while Wang Zijia found himself at a loss for words, eventually choosing not to speak at all.

"I had been wondering why your grandfather, furious as he was, didn’t set things straight with the clan and instead let you mess around with loans. It seems you’re dead set on this. Now, your great uncle has decided to grant you three thousand. Make sure you use it wisely!"

As he scolded, Xiang Liang once again glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Wang Zijia.

With that, he jumped onto his Paper Kite and left. Unlike before, when he used to greet Wang Zijia warmly and impart cultivation knowledge, this time he left without a word, seemingly bearing some resentment. He had clearly guessed where the resources would end up.

Presumably, he thought that Wang Zijia was disregarding Xiang Feifei’s future for his own sake.

After Xiang Liang left, Wang Zijia and Xiang Feifei exchanged glances. After a moment of silence, Wang Zijia finally spoke: "Why go to all this trouble? If I really need something, I will ask you myself."

"It’s not a big deal, just a scolding after all. Besides, I only recently persuaded my grandfather to use our family savings to purchase some Dao Kung just the other day. Anticipating the mess today, I knew that my grandfather, not being a fool, certainly wouldn’t come to find me. So I only have to endure some scolding from my great uncles." Xiang Feifei stick her tongue out as she spoke.

"Alright, next time you plan to do something, at least let me know." Wang Zijia paused momentarily before choosing his words carefully. "It’s not that I’m blaming you. It’s just that I might not necessarily need certain things, and you could end up wasting your effort."

"Alright, I’ll remember!" Xiang Feifei nodded and suggested, "Let’s eat!"

The two no longer spoke and turned to enter the house for a meal. Afterward, they both left for work.

Wang Zijia merely took a stroll around the Fu Tower, reviewed the ledgers, and not long before noon was planning to skip work once again.

He planned to visit the Task Hall to see if there were any tasks that were not too risky. If not, he might have to resort to seeking Du Kang’s help.

However, before he had a chance to leave, the center of his Talisman Creation Room suddenly began to fluctuate in mana.

In surprise and doubt, Wang Zijia looked up to see numerous runes popping out of the void at the center of the room. They coalesced into a spectral Spirit Sword, followed by a spectral figure enveloping the entire spectral sword.

The figure was dressed in a robe, appeared to be in his thirties, and had sharp features, akin to a sharp sword fresh out of its sheath. His hair was meticulously combed, and his face was stern, which made him look quite imposing.

In the chest of the spectral figure, a much more solid talisman sword subtly pulsed, a faint Sword Qi emanating from it. This lent an aura of formidable intent to the room, the faintly manifesting commanding aura permeating the room.

The unexpected visitor was none other than Du Kang. Compared to two months ago, he had lost some of his slovenly and decadent demeanor, and now he seemed sharper.

"Outer Sect Disciple Wang Zijia pays his respects to Martial uncle!" Wang Zijia was taken aback for a moment before promptly saluting with all due respect.

Du Kang stood with his hands behind his back, his spectral robe and hair billowing slightly, examining the respectful Wang Zijia as his Sword Qi surged. After a moment, he finally nodded in an aloof manner, "Concealed spiritual light, solid foundation, indeed impressive!"

Wang Zijia: "······"

Without any further ado, Du Kang flipped his hand and projected a light screen, telling Wang Zijia, "Asking for a Class A spiritual item directly is of course impossible. Those in the sect’s stock, every single one has more than ten people waiting for it, you simply can’t squeeze in."

"This is a route I’ve acquired for you at no small expense. You can choose from any one of them. How successful you are will depend on your efforts."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia focused his attention on the light screen. Surprisingly, there were three tasks, the first of which he had seen before.

Task: Demon Exorcism in the Lower Realm

Type: Lower Realm Enforcement

Level: A

Introduction: ······

Details: The leader may choose a spiritual object that matches his own attributes ······

······

Task: Lower World Battlefield

Level: A

Type: Battlefield Task

Duration: One Year

Cultivation Limit: Pupils of the Sacrificial Wine Peak and below

Danger Level: High

Introduction: The sect discovered the new Lower Realm ninety years ago. The struggle with the Bone Soul Sect has already reached the white-hot stage, and we urgently need disciples below the Perfected Realm to aid in the Lower Realms.

Details: There are three Class A Earth Attribute Spiritual Objects on the Honor Roll of this battlefield.

······

Task: Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain Clean

Level: A

Type: Demon Exorcism Clean Sweep

Danger Level: Medium

Introduction: It’s time for the sect’s captive Mysterious Domain to be cleaned again, and we need disciples to cleanse and exorcise the demonic beings.

Details: The Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain is a specific Mysterious Domain reared by the sect, where many Five Elements spiritual objects are born. Each disciple who enters has their own chance of obtaining a spiritual object. There are many fierce demons and sinners, focusing on flesh and blood direction ······

Special Note: The domain is full of unpredictability. Even though disciples are dispatched to clean it regularly, there are many unknown risks. Remember: Be fully attentive to anything related to sinners.

······

Looking at the three tasks, Wang Zijia was silent for a moment. These were the means to obtain spiritual objects he had been seeking for some time but couldn’t find.

Look at these tasks! Not only do they offer Class A spiritual objects, but they also count as a Grade A Task Quota, which would also resolve the problem of claiming the Foundation Building Pill. How thoughtful!

And the lower circles?

Forget the spiritual objects. For a single task quota for a Foundation Establishment Pill, the entire clan would mobilize, and even if they were to exhaust the family fortune, it might not be achievable.

This came down to social class!

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Wang Zijia detailedly opened up the details and attached information for each of the three tasks, carefully reading all the material therein.

Comparatively speaking, the Demon Exorcism in the Lower Realm task should be the safest, but the earth attribute spiritual objects in the sect’s stock do not suit Wang Zijia, and they are all below the A level.

As for the Battlefield task, not only is it dangerous, but Wang Zijia also wasn’t satisfied with the three Class A spiritual objects mentioned on the Honor Roll.

The Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain Clean task is the most uncertain. Although the danger level is only medium, if he did encounter a Ghost Baby when he was stationed there, let alone inside the Mysterious Domain.

The only thing he does not need to worry too much about is, this place is reared by the sect, so it should not cause any major chaos.

What attracted Wang Zijia the most was that there were five spots in the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain where Class A Foundation Building Spirit Objects could be born, two of which matched Wang Zijia.

Of course, these five resource points hadn’t matured yet, otherwise, it wouldn’t be Wang Zijia’s turn.

But Wang Zijia didn’t need a mature one. He just needed a pill guide, and then he could use value degrees to pile it up!

Thus, this task was the most appealing to Wang Zijia.

After much thought, Wang Zijia gritted his teeth and chose the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain Clean task. If he was to do it, he might as well aim for the best. After all, uncertainty is always better than a battlefield!

"Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain Clean?" Du Kang looked at Wang Zijia in surprise and then nodded, saying, "Alright! I’ll sort it out for you."
