Chapter 188: Chapter 188: The Issue with the Cultivation Method

Upon seeing off the two visitors at the door,

An Xingsheng glanced anxiously at Wang Zijia, He had clearly sensed something when he’d brought them in. It must have been Sha Heng inquiring about his transfer intent ahead of time.

"Senior Brother, do I come to work tomorrow?" After watching Sha Heng and his granddaughter disappear, there was a moment of silence. Unable to bear it any longer, An Xingsheng asked.

"If you don’t come to work, are you planning on going to heaven? Do you expect me to cover your shift?" Although Wang Zijia understood his words, he still retorted irritably.

However, a surge of joy flashed across An Xingsheng’s face. But then, he asked uncertainly, "And this Senior Sister Sha Qing’er...?"

"Such a celestial beauty as her, surely she won’t be interested in taking your lousy position. Even if you’d let her, I wouldn’t dare to order her around. Day in and day out, you think about the most ridiculous things!" Wang Zijia reprimanded him again irritably.

An Xingsheng’s eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately understood something. Unable to help himself, he measured Wang Zijia up.

The two had been together for nearly a year. He had watched Wang Zijia change bit by bit.

The current Senior Brother Wang was drastically different from when he had just joined.

Be it his looks, physique, or his temperament and substance, everything was completely different.

Not to mention his status!

From a fringe figure barely fit for the Fu tower, he had become a Dao seed that ranked highly among the millions of disciples in the Outer Sect. The changes were worlds apart.

"Alright then, if you have nothing else going on, hurry up and study your talisman technique." Wang Zijia said, signalling the end of their conversation.

"Yes!" Responded An Xingsheng, bowing.

"Don’t blab about Martial Uncle Sha’s visit today, if people ask." As Wang Zijia was about to step inside his room, he seemed to remember something and added, "If I hear any idle gossip within the tower, you’re in for it."

"Rest assured, Senior Brother. I know where to draw the line." An Xingsheng immediately bowed respectfully, "Given the current status of my family, we can’t afford to anger Martial Uncle Sha."

"As long as you understand. Avoid the gossip and focus on meditating on your talisman technique if you’re bored. You’ve been with me for more than half a year now, yet you’re still at the proficient level." Having said that, Wang Zijia turned and entered his room.

An Xingsheng showed a forced smile, gently closed the door and left with a buoyant stride.

······

After spending the afternoon pretending to work and making talismans, Wang Zijia decided to leave early.

Rather than heading straight home to the Biyi Court, he took a detour to the Scripture Pavilion’s split pavilion, neighbouring the Fu Tower.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Wang!"

Before he even stepped into the split pavilion, a salesperson junior brother standing at the door smiled brightly and greeted him enthusiastically.

Given their close proximity and Wang Zijia’s reputation at the Fu Tower, as well as being a Dao seed under the Scripture Pavilion, everyone within the vicinity knew him.

It was akin to the stalls around a school knowing all about the reputed professors.

Wang Zijia glanced at him, nodded slightly in response.

"Senior Brother, are you here to procure a spell?" The salesperson junior brother tried to guide Wang Zijia inside while asking.

"I’m just here to ask, if I was to procure the ’Universal Canon · Ritual Wine Chapter’, what would be the conditions?" Wang Zijia asked, without entering the pavilion.

The salesperson junior brother hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Brother, with your Dao seed status, there’s no need for any additional conditions or reviews to acquire the ’Universal Canon · Ritual Wine Chapter’. You only need to pay fifty thousand Dao Kung and a Special A-class mission quota."

Wang Zijia frowned and asked, "A Special A-class mission?"

"Yes, under normal circumstances, the Ritual Wine Chapter should be considered after advancing to the middle stage of the Ritual Wine path. Therefore, normally, a A-class mission at the same level is required." The junior brother explained to Wang Zijia carefully:

"However, due to various reasons, the pavilion did not impose strict restrictions. After fulfilling certain conditions, some disciples at the Child Stage can also access it. However, the type of mission quota used must be specific."

"Such as?" Wang Zijia asked.

"Such as enforcing laws, exorcising demons in the mortal world, and related battlefield missions." He began scrolling through his identity card and said to Wang Zijia. "I’ll give you a detailed explanation. You can take a look later and then consider whether you want to pre-apply at the Task Hall."

Wang Zijia frowned, nodded, and also took out his identity card for information exchange.

"Actually, if you find the right mission, it’s not that difficult to complete. Many geniuses in all factions have prepared the Ritual Wine Chapter during the Child Stage. It’s just a bit time-consuming. Plus, you only need to pay fifty thousand Dao Kung." After the exchange concluded, the sharp-eyed salesperson sought to comfort Wang Zijia with his worried expression.

Wang Zijia nodded, perused the detailed information carefully and said, "Thanks for the help. Goodbye!"

"Farewell, Senior Brother Wang!" The salesperson enthusiastically saw Wang Zijia off into the distance before turning to leave.

······

When Wang Zijia got home, Xiang Feifei was already back.

Ever since Wang Zijia became a Dao seed, though her position hadn’t changed, her treatment had significantly improved. The senior brother, who used to bother her a lot, had a complete change of attitude. According to Feifei, he almost revered her like an ancestor.

And those junior brothers led by the senior brother don’t dare to bother Xiang Feifei anymore, they would curry favour with her if they could.

As a result, she had more and more free time recently.

She used to occasionally remind Wang Zijia not to skip work too often. Now, she seems to be getting into the habit herself.

"You’re not having any health problems, are you?" Wang Zijia asked knowingly.

"No, the senior sister who checked me said that I am very healthy, even healthier than most of the physical cultivation senior brothers." Xiang Feifei smiled sweetly and replied.

This is not surprising. So far, aside from Bai Qian, she’s the only one privileged enough to have been meticulously examined and treated by his balance scale.

Bai Qian knew it was due to the manifest of Wang Zijia’s divine powers. As for the one here, she simply didn’t know anything.

"That’s good. Maybe your cultivation is accelerating because you’ve been enlightened. After all, your talent isn’t bad. You’re almost at the top-grade spiritual root level, aren’t you?" Wang Zijia patted Xiang Feifei’s head. Their conversation continued as they sat down next to the stone table under the pear tree in the courtyard.

"Yes, it might be." Xiang Feifei answered with a nod, then she started telling Wang Zijia about her day, "A few more senior and junior sisters came to meet me today. You’re becoming more and more famous."

"Hm! Maybe it’s your fame!"
