Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Late Night Visitor

After a long time, Wang Zijia exhaled a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes.

He was now considered a fully-fledged peak child, and there was nothing more he could do about his cultivation. What lacked were spiritual objects and the Nine Foundation Techniques.

The Nine Foundation Techniques had already been prepared with eight of them, and the remaining one, according to the vague connection in the Five Techniques, required him to supplement a bloodline side spell.

Of course, this was not a rush at the moment, he would talk about it after getting the spiritual objects. The problem of the Nine Foundation Technique, as long as the value was enough, he could achieve great success in a short time after finding them.

······

Time flew by, and it had been four days.

That day Wang Zijia once again took time off, repeatedly thinking about what else he needed to prepare, and even bought a lot of spiritual materials needed for the Five Ghosts Divine Power.

It was dinner time in the evening.

"I’m leaving for a mission tomorrow, and if all goes well, I should be back in about a month," Wang Zijia suddenly said.

Xiang Feifei paused in her meal, looking up at Wang Zijia with a dumbfounded expression.

"You’ve already taken on a mission?"

"What mission?"

"How dangerous is it?"

"Why didn’t you consult me first!"

"Don’t you know that no Class A mission could be simple!"

"My goodness, I thought you’d wait for at least half a year before you start looking for something to save your life."

She was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed her gentle demeanor, rapidly bombarding Wang Zijia with questions.

Wang Zijia looked at her warmly, and after quite some time, Xiang Feifei stopped her questioning. Wang Zijia smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be careful. As for why I didn’t inform you...my mission is different from those ordinary Class A missions which involve making Foundation Building Pills."

Typical Class A missions involve exterminating monsters, cleansing devils, or a variety of other tasks.

During his statement, Wang Zijia opened the task details for Xiang Feifei to see.

Upon seeing the mission details, Xiang Feifei was stunned and said in disbelief, "A secret realm trial? Isn’t this a welfare for the strongest seed candidates within our sect? How did you get it...?"

She stopped mid-sentence. She had been living with Wang Zijia for more than half a year and had noticed that he had secrets for a month or two.

However, she never asked about them.

After a moment of silence between the two, she changed the topic and said, "Are you prepared for any life-saving measures? Although the Mysterious_Region_Secret_Realm is under the control of our sect, it is still not safe."

"Yes, I’ve been prepared for a long time," Wang Zijia nodded.

"And injury healing pills?"

"·······"

The two of them ate and chatted, with Xiang Feifei doing most of the talking and sounding like a worrying mother. Wang Zijia, however, was patient and kept responding to her concerns.

After dinner, Wang Zijia went to the basement and took a look at the altar.

After being cursed by ten different people, and despite making numerous repairs, the altar was almost completely unusable. Wang Zijia decided to dismantle it and thoroughly cleaned the basement.

He did not want to return from his task to find a group of the Law Enforcement Team waiting for him.

After getting most of his preparations done, Wang Zijia planned to sleep early. However, he could not seem to fall asleep, probably due to the anxiety of undertaking his first task. He got up and went to the cultivation room to meditate instead.

Because he used the value exchange for cultivation, Wang Zijia meditated for a short time each day, but rarely replaced sleep with cultivation.

······

As time passed slowly, just before midnight, Wang Zijia, who was meditating, suddenly had a premonition and opened his eyes abruptly, looking at the window next to him.

Following Wang Zijia’s gaze, a palm-sized figure fell to his window. The shadow’s pitch-black silhouette was cast onto the window, highlighted by the moonlight from outside. At the same time, a faint, rhythmic tapping sound came through.

"Tap tap... tap tap..."

"Who is it?" Wang Zijia asked softly with a frown.

As he spoke, he raised his hand abruptly. As the spiritual light surged, he opened the window.

"Bang!"

The window was thrown open, making a loud noise.

On the window, a black bat was standing.

After Wang Zijia opened the door, a weak surge of mana emerged from the bat, and a voice came from within its body.

"Two quarters after, at the edge of Hua Lin Pond, in the outskirts of the Beast Control lineage."

Along with the voice, a faint rune flashed on the bat’s forehead. The rune was a rough human face which, upon closer look, was made up of countless small skulls.

"Pop!"

As the voice emerged, the rune flashed for three breaths, and the bat exploded into a cloud of blood mist, leaving no residue.

"Is this... from the Bone Soul Sect? So, they finally sought me out?"

Wang Zijia had seen that strange face rune before, when he had used the demon seeding on the man who had stopped his horse carriage in Wanyu Fairy City.

As thoughts swirled in his brain, Wang Zijia was torn about whether to go or not. After joining the sect, he had kept improving his cultivation due to this sense of urgency. However, he hadn’t expected they would come for him so soon.

So, what should he do now?

’Looking at this mana fluctuation, it couldn’t be a Beast Control cultivator at the Sacrificial Wine level, so maybe I should go and decide what to do next?’

’After all, I hardly have any information about these people at present. My lack of knowledge about them makes everything risky and potential danger.’

’At least if I can get through tonight, I will leave for the task tomorrow, and then I can think slowly!’

As his thoughts settled, Wang Zijia hesitated no longer, got up and left the courtyard. He hopped onto the Paper Kite, figured out the direction, and headed straight for the Dao Law Court, Beast Control lineage.

······

Dao Law Court, Beast Control lineage, and Bloodline Transformation Lineage had a nearly ten-mile suburban gap between their building complexes, making it one of the furthest gaps among all the factions’ building complexes.

This was primarily because both sections required a certain amount of territory.

This suburban area was covered by a forest, containing many places that nurtured low-level demonic beasts. These were used to extract bloodlines for the Transformation Pulse disciples’ usage.

Also, there were some low-level disciples of Beast Control Pulse who couldn’t even afford a Spiritual Beast Bag. If their beast’s size wasn’t small, they had to leave them in this area.

Therefore, this suburban area was not desolate. Instead, it had quite a bit of living spirit.

At this time of night, Wang Ziji was hovering over the forest in the Paper Kite. It took him a while to find the so-called Hua Lin Pond, according to the map’s guidance. It really was just a small pond.

Looking down at the pond below, Wang Zijia did not dive directly in. Instead, he landed in the forest quite far from it. After collecting the Paper Kite, mana covered his entire body like quicksand. Wang Zijia, like a chameleon, vanished on the spot.

Only after completing his invisibility did Wang Zijia carefully move forward.
