Chapter 165: Chapter 165: Dao Foundation and the 2nd Red Copper Weight

Upon entering the Cultivation Room, Wang Zijia immersed himself in his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, examining the changes brought about by his breakthrough.

Melting Crystal Demon Body: Lower Grade Technique

Effects: In addition to explosive, malleable, stealth, flashing, crystal shield, blood droplet and other effects, it can also condense the demon body, transform into a devil for travel, increase self-blessings, or engage in combat by possession.

Note: As the Dao foundation hints at effects surpassing the first grade, the power of the technique has already mutated. The Melting Crystal Demon body hints at a pseudo-dharma idol power. Please use it with caution as the consumption is substantial.

Feeling the power of his first technique, Wang Zijia felt that at that moment he could defeat anyone.

······

After a long time, Wang Zijia managed to suppress his excitement. When he was about to exit the Sea of Consciousness, he paused.

At some point, near the Golden Balance, a new Red Copper Weight was forming, almost completed, just lacking the final polishing it seemed.

Judging by its progress, if he wasn’t mistaken, when his Dao foundation was completely refined and he fully became a sacrificial wine, the Red Copper Weight will be finally completed.

Unlike the Dao foundation that couldn’t be used until it was completely refined, at the current stage, the half-complete Red Copper Weight could already give him a preliminary understanding of its functions, even allowing for use.

Thinking about the surprise and power the first Red Copper Weight brought, Wang Zijia, with an expectant look on his face, floated forward and touched it.

"Gather the power of the Nine Techniques, condense into one technique, carry one Dao foundation, extend the power of the Tao Fruits."

Feeling the information, Wang Zijia was stunned.

This Weight... can it grant him a second Dao foundation?

Moreover, it seems that there is no need for any pre-linking or additional Extraordinary Characteristics. It could forcefully integrate the Nine Techniques. Can he simply put it in there?

Or is this weight essentially a Dao foundation missing its techniques?

Was the second Red Copper Weight this powerful?

Without any hesitation, Wang Zijia turned his gaze towards the Talisman Way, with the core being the False Dao Talisman Summoning Technique!

When he got this technique’s inheritance, Wang Zijia was considering incorporating it into his Nine Foundation Techniques. However, since he found it not suitable enough, he begrudgingly let it go.

His plan then was to wait till he advanced to Sacrificial Wine and then fuse together a new method to accept the inheritance.

Now that he has a second Red Copper Weight, it seems he can try a different approach?

Lost in thought, Wang Zijia looked at his Talisman Techniques.

Techniques: Rune Perception, Sealing Spirit Technique, Talisman Paper Making Technique, Rune Gradual Advancement Technique, Talisman Seed Communication

False Dao Talisman Summoning (Not Yet Started 50/300),

Taiji: 8532

He already had five techniques in his foundation of the Dao of Talismans, and with the addition of spirit sealing, they became six techniques. He only needed to add three more techniques to complete the nine.

Since he was going to follow the false talisman path, he needed to consider how well it would match with the true inheritance of the False Dao. So, amongst his nine techniques, he had to prepare an Illusion Technique and a Sealing Technique. With these two as the foundation of his False Talisman path, accepting the inheritance should be considerably easier.

Beyond this, knowing how to stack runes was essential for the creation of second-grade talismans. With this technique fixed, the last technique could be more flexible.

With his thoughts at this point, Wang Zijia had a clear idea of his Talisman Dao and promptly got up and set about in earnest.

He left the courtyard. By this time, the dark clouds in the sky had dissipated, and most of the Big Shots dotting the sky had already left.

Wang Zijia, as if this did not concern him, threw out a paper kite and headed straight for the Inheritance Peak and the Scripture Pavilion.

Now that he was a Dao seed, he did not need the inheritance order to get into the Qifeng.

Taking a familiar route to the Scripture Pavilion, he walked through the ancient main gate. The familiar streaming light rushed at him and, as Wang Zijia regained his wits, he found himself once again deep in the heart of the dark starry sky.

Wang Zijia stood suspended in the void, surrounded by complete darkness. Above him were countless faint light groups, like stars, that decorated the entire space.

The lights in these balls varied in intensity. Some were very dim, while others were bright and dazzling.

Each light group faintly revealed secret books, and occasionally a piece of gleaming jade slips could be seen.

[Detecting Dao Seed privileges, you can choose any nine foundation techniques from the initial nine.]

[Note: Dao Seed’s Nine Techniques privileges include one forbidden technique, three secret inheritances, direct inheritances of the Three Factions, and two mass technique privileges.]

"Can I choose techniques that are not part of a set?" Wang Zijia stood in the starry sky and asked tentatively.

[Yes, but this is not recommended in principle. The Dao Seed’s privileged Nine Techniques, which include all the Core Nine Techniques in any faction, is a unique privilege. It would be better to choose a complete system. But, if you have established a solid foundation, you don’t need to consider these.]

Wang Zijia sighed in relief. Hesitating, he then said, "First, let’s have the Rune Stacking Art."

[Rune Stacking Art, it is a core technique that traditional talisman makers must learn when advancing to the second grade. This technique is one of the three essential techniques in the Core Nine Techniques of traditional talisman masters. Dao Seeds can directly use Dao Kung for this exchange, or use the ordinary authority of the Dao Seeds’ Nine Techniques for exchange.]

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia was taken aback. He could directly exchange it with Dao Kung, it seemed that the implicit benefits of being a Dao Seed were greater than he had imagined.

"Can I borrow?" Wang Zijia asked, slightly embarrassed.

[Yes, a Dao Seed can borrow up to 50,000 Dao Kung. If they do not repay it within a year, a compulsory task will automatically be issued until the debt is paid off.]

Originally, he just wanted to test the waters, but unexpectedly, he really could get an ’interest-free’ loan!

"Then let’s start with that. Let’s not owe anything and deduct from the general authority of the Nine Techniques."

Following Wang Zijia’s affirmation, a stream of light fell from the sky like a meteor and plunged into his arms, eventually transitioning into a book.

"I also need a talisman secret technique of illusion, preferably one that controls the mind," Wang Zijia said again.

[In first-grade techniques, illusion techniques involving mind control are all secret forbidden techniques. But since you have the privilege of choosing Nine Techniques of Dao Seed, which include one core forbidden technique, would you like to use this privilege to search?]

"Yes!"

As Wang Zijia confirmed, the countless stars in the sky rolled briefly.

A moment later, five light screens appeared before Wang Zijia.

Technique: Heart Seed Talisman
