Chapter 113: Child Peak

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Child Peak

"Is it okay for a mid-level child like me to take on such a task?" Wang Zijia fell silent for a moment and, out of nowhere, he added, "And I’m not talking about the difficulty of completion."

Upon hearing this, Du Kang fell silent for a while, the corner of his mouth seeming to twitch as he looked at the mid-level child Wang Zijia. After a moment, he said, "It is my welfare that the Task Board deducts, no one would notice you."

"Besides, not everyone who takes on tasks like these is trying to break through their cultivation. Many in the clan do this as well. And with tens of millions of children and thousands of Factions in the Sect, who has the time to pay attention to you, unless they have taken notice of you early on."

It was true that in his previous life, even when information technology was so advanced, no one would pay attention to you if you started buying graduate school materials as a freshman.

While Wang Zijia was lost in thought, Du Kang suddenly flipped his hand, a stream of light flew in from the window and hovered in front of Wang Zijia.

As he made out what it was, Wang Zijia found that it was a secret book.

"Rune Gradual Advancement Technique"

Wang Zijia staring at this famous secret book in the Talisman Court, raised his head in confusion and looked at Du Kang, "Martial Uncle, what is this?"

"I have observed that you possess decent talent, would you be willing to join my Hidden Faction?" Du Kang asked, standing firm with his hands behind his back. His Daoist robe fluttering, and his whole body was brimming with sharp Sword Qi, exhibiting an air of a transcendent immortal.

Wang Zijia: "······"

’Are you trying to swagger around like that without asking me, the Faction master???’

He couldn’t help but think of times when he himself acted pompously. Subconsciously, he wanted to turn his head, find Du Kang’s hidden true form outside the window, and watch him casually ’picking up flying knives’.

Seeing Wang Zijia remain silent, Du Kang thought Wang Zijia had some concerns, so he said:

"We’ll leave it at that today. You don’t need to reply right now. This technique is a personal reward from me, seeing that you belong to the Xiang family who tried but couldn’t acquire it. On the day you feel that don’t want to be in the Fu Tower anymore, you can come to consult me."

After speaking, before Wang Zijia could respond, his body had already dissipated into countless spirit lights and vanished into thin air.

Wang Zijia glanced at the window, suppressing the urge to go out and take a look.

Looking down at the secret book in his hand, a technique like this was considered one of the top resources mainly because not only does it help Talisman Masters a lot, but it also assists all monk at the Child Stage.

Even when you are condensing a Magic Door, it aids with that too.

Subconsciously flipping through it, what Wang Zijia didn’t expect was that despite its towering reputation, the difficulty of understanding this technique was extremely low.

Upon reading over it hastily, the secret book in his hand had turned into a stack of scraps.

Weighing Scales: Rune Gradual Advancement Technique

Level: First-Class Advanced Level.

Realm: Not Yet Started

Value: 50

Effect: Cultivating this technique can make a technique condense incomplete runes at a proficient level and gradually perfect them in an orderly progression to aid cultivation. After reaching the beginner level, you can condense one incomplete rune, two at the proficient level, five at the minor accomplishment level, and nine at the great mastery level.

Introduction: A fundamental technique created by talismanic great gurus using the principles of heaven and earth, it provides great assistance to the entire Talisman Way, and it is one of the best techniques for Talisman Masters to establish their foundation, and is the basis for many cultivatable talismanic weapons and talisman techniques.

Looking at the silver balance weights in front of him, Wang Zijia was slightly shocked. Out of all the techniques he had learned, this was the most practical and the most remarkable one he had come across. Well-deserving of its renowned reputation.

Looking at the Value Pool of Skills, Taiji: 1017

[Do you want to consume six hundred value degrees and upgrade Rune Gradual Advancement Technique to proficient level?]

"Yes!"

Rune Gradual Advancement Technique (Proficient 600/1500)

As it reached the minor accomplishment level, myriad feelings of comprehension emerged in Wang Zijia’s mind. More so, he had a new understanding of how to condense incomplete runes from techniques ahead of time and how to perfect the runes step by step.

This comprehension not only involved the Rune Gradual Advancement Technique, but gave Wang Zijia an understanding of the principle of gradual progression in the entire Talisman Way.

He even felt that if he were to master this technique, he could even use it as a foundation to produce talismans that could grow!

The strength of this technique was indeed worthy of its towering reputation!

"Ding······!"

At this moment, Wang Zijia’s identity card issued a clear sound, and a task appeared.

Wang Zijia opened it to find that it was indeed the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain Cleaning task, which was to set off five days later.

······

Due to Du Kang’s unexpected arrival, Wang Zijia abandoned his plans to take on tasks from the Task Hall and continued to make talismans until the end of the workday.

At night, in the cultivation room, Wang Zijia drew out two small wooden boxes, each neatly containing about thirty bottles of Explosive Spirit Pills.

He initially planned to take it slowly, consuming two to three bottles a day, but with his first mission just around the corner, Wang Zijia decided to boost himself to his strongest state.

Looking at nearly seven hundred Explosive Spirit Pills in front of him, Wang Zijia inhaled deeply, picked up a bottle, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without further ado.

As soon as the pill melted in his mouth, his mana began to swell, and his body’s aura started to churn.

"Value +22!"

Then, as the violent mana subsided like a receding tide, Wang Zijia continued to ingest.

"Value +22!"

"Value +23!"

"······"

And so, Wang Zijia kept popping pills, knocking back two to three bottles every minute.

After every three to five bottles, he would convert the newly emerged resistance from the pills into cultivation progress, then continue to work.

Within forty-five minutes to an hour, Wang Zijia had filled the three thousand-point gap in his cultivation progress, reaching the peak of the Child Stage with a hundred years of cultivation.

Cultivation Progress: Hundred years (30000/30000)

Wang Zijia didn’t cease, he continually consumed more pills.

About four hours later, when Wang Zijia reached for another pill, he grabbed at air. Looking at the empty porcelain bottles scattered on the ground in front of him and the taste of medicine lingering in his mouth, Wang Zijia unconsciously puckered his lips.

Spiritual Roots: Special Earth Blood Spiritual Root (Lower Grade 48643/50000)

Seeing the gap of over a thousand points left to advance to the medium-grade Spiritual Roots, Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment, and then stood up and left the courtyard.

He started taking the pills after dinner, and it was about nine in the evening now. The sky had darkened, yet it was also the busiest time of the night.

Wang Zijia made his well-trodden way to Southward Street where he spent five hundred magic money again to buy seventy bottles of Explosive Spirit Pills.

This should be his last purchase of this kind of pill at Qifu faction, because if this rate of consumption continues, he speculated that he could single-handedly drive up the market price for Explosive Spirit Pills on Southward Street!

After purchasing the pills, Wang Zijia returned to the cultivation room and started to take the medicine again.

After finishing his sixth bottle with only one to go, Wang Zijia suddenly shivered. In his intuitive perception, the world seemed more familiar, particularly the earth, as if he could feel its rhythm of life.

The light spots he usually sensed around his body also increased and became more active. In his mind, thoughts became more active as well, and all sorts of ideas emerged.

Wang Zijia felt that he was undergoing earth-shattering changes from the inside out, a fundamental kind of transformation.
