Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Demon Seeding Refining

A top-notch spirit tool!!!

And could special instruments also form the weights?

Wang Zijia’s eyes were brighter, and they burned fiercer with each passing moment.

This was the most impressive thing he’d seen up to now, apart from the Balanced Scale. Even in the Wanyu Sect, a spirit tool with the potential to be promoted to Fourth Grade was considered an extraordinary treasure. Not to mention that it was an inheritance artifact at that.

In a flash of thought, Wang Zijia exited the Sea of Consciousness.

First, he put away the Five Ghosts. Then, with a thought, a spot of paper scraps appeared on his forehead and Wang Zijia quickly transformed until he became the manservant in the blink of an eye.

After flexing his arms and legs, Wang Zijia had a big smile on his face.

Compared to his previous idea of pretending to be someone else, his current situation was much better because, strictly speaking, he now had a legitimate identity. It was not just a superficial replacement.

Having the spirit tool fragment, he was already representative of that servant.

He put away the Concealment Array Plate with a wave of his hand and Wang Zijia went back to the courtyard. Everything in the courtyard was normal and there was no sign of the Law Enforcement Team, which greatly relieved Wang Zijia.

It appeared that breaking the rules here only mattered if it was seen by someone and then reported, resulting in an arrest. It wasn’t the type of violation where any activity, whether observed or not, would automatically trigger some kind of response mechanism.

Wang Zijia quietly left the mountain and went to the western poor district of the Market Square. The inhabitants here were ordinary people, at least in assumed status.

The Five Ghosts floated out like whispers and, following Wang Zijia, they quietly slipped into another courtyard.

The people living in the courtyard were a young couple. When they saw Wang Zijia, dressed as a servant from the Market Square entering, they immediately became nervous, asking, "What can we do for you, sir?"

Wang Zijia smiled faintly and said, "Nothing really, I’m just here to free you from your suffering, release you from the unending cycle of rebirth!"

As he spoke, five Ghost Shadows enveloped the couple who were unable to resist and were frozen on the spot.

With a surge of Wang Zijia’s mana, two grains of blood diamond crystal sand floated into his mouth, and the familiar struggle resurfaced.

As the giant book turned, little specks of golden light diffused around, and in the end, two even smaller human figures fell out of the scroll painting.

The two figures in the courtyard disintegrated into two spots of paper scraps and were absorbed into Wang Zijia, leaving a piece that was larger than the three paper points that had automatically fused together.

Watching this, Wang Zijia revealed a satisfied smile.

’Looks like I found the right method! At this rate, I might not just be able to get out of the Mysterious Domain, but could possibly refine this spirit tool!’

It was not that Wang Zijia was swollen-headed, but that the spirit tool was now unclaimed. He didn’t need to fully refine it. He only needed to refine it to a certain extent so that he could barely manifest it, and imprint it with his own aura.

After that, he could take his time!

······

Now that he had a proper plan, Wang Zijia began his refining process. His surroundings were a mass of slums, so taking control was effortless.

When it came to fighting with the Demon Seeding, the consumption of mana was not trivial. Once Wang Zijia had seeded twenty or thirty people he needed to consume a Replenishing Qi Pill. Fortunately, he had gathered quite a few of these elixirs over the past ten days. Together with his existing inventory, he had dozens of bottles of Replenishing Qi Pills which he could probably take all day without running out.

So, Wang Zijia set out on his Demon Seeding "refining" journey.

Time passed quickly, and in four to six hours, Wang Zijia continued consuming Replenishing Qi Pills. After refining nearly a thousand ordinary people, he had obtained a palm-sized piece of paper.

Now Wang Zijia found that planting more demons in ordinary mortals was hardly useful.

The sky gradually darkened, the red lantern started to glow, and due to Wang Zijia’s actions, a large district of the slums had emptied out, making it feel even more eerie.

Wang Zijia lowered his head and saw that at some point, under the glow of the red lantern, his clothes had become a shroud and his face had turned pale as though he were a corpse.

Sensing his perfectly legal identity, and even being able to transform into thousands of legal commoners, Wang Zijia felt it might be time to stop. If he continued, he wouldn’t progress any further. Under these circumstances, he should head to the street market, refine the scattered waste monks, and carry on with his devil seeding.

As for finding powerful monks, such as the Law Enforcement Team, he’d wait until he was sure he couldn’t just devil seed them to increase the refinement progress!

······

On his way to the street market, Wang Zijia checked his value.

Dao cultivation: Hundred years (3/30,000)

Spiritual Roots: Special Earth Blood Spiritual Root (Medium Grade 5/50,000)

Spell: Blood Drop (minor accomplishment 1500/3000),

Five Ghosts Divine Power (partial 253/40,000)······

Taiji: 15,678

Magic money: 2,035

After a whole day, he gained a full value of 15,000, like having fallen into a sugar jar. However, Wang Zijia did not want to linger here this time. If he had a choice, he would rather be out there scavenging corpses.

It was simply that this place offered no guarantees of safety. Even if the main control of the Mysterious Domain was an artifact instead of a peculiar being, the risk was still too high for him. It was too dangerous, like dancing on the blade of a knife the entire time.

[Do you wish to consume 1,500 value points to increase Blood Drop to Great Mastery?]

"Yes!"

As the weights were exchanged, a new Great Success Rune was created and much insight surfaced. Vaguely, Wang Zijia felt that he could somewhat control the flow of his own blood.

What was even more miraculous was that as this spell reached Great Mastery, Wang Zijia clearly felt that his current Mysterious Domain identities were more harmonious with the Mysterious Domain.

He looked down at himself, and the paper shroud had clearly become much more vibrant. It wasn’t an illusion. This place, or rather this spirit tool, had a deep affinity for the Blood Demon Path.

In his thoughts, Wang Zijia again looked towards the weights.

[Do you want to consume 13,747 value points to repair Second Order Method: Five Ghosts Divine Power?]

"Yes!"

As soon as Wang Zijia confirmed, his brain was awash with a sea of knowledge that gradually deepened his understanding of the Five Ghosts.

More than that, he discovered that his Extraordinary Knowledge had become more refined, and his understanding of how to forge the Dao Foundation and how to develop a Magic Door had become comprehensive, as if he had once walked this path and was now doing it over again.

"Phew······"

It seemed that completing a spell had benefits not only on the surface but also held deeper, hidden benefits.

Five Ghosts Divine Power (partial 14,000/40,000)······

Taiji: 431

He carefully felt the Five Ghosts within him, and although their cultivation hadn’t changed in the slightest, Wang Zijia felt that they had become much stronger.

The comprehensive improvement of depth, control intensity, and operation intensity made Wang Zijia clearly feel that the Five Ghosts had become something different.
