Chapter 203: Chapter 203: No Ordinary Equivalent

As Wang Zijia continually consumed his mana, the cave sloped downwards, giving birth to a blood-red jade staircase.

Stepping on the stairs, Wang Zijia kept digging downwards. Only after reaching a depth of about ten meters did he stop going deeper and started expanding horizontally, carving out an underground space.

While digging earlier, the space wasn’t too big. The mud from the excavation, when compacted and transformed into crystal for the cave walls, didn’t leave much surplus.

However, as Wang Zijia expanded the underground space, there was more surplus mud turned into crystal. He had no choice but to store it in his storage bag, filling it with a bag of crystal soil in a moment.

Wang Zijia piled it up in a corner of the backyard and continued digging.

After three trips, a large mound of crystallized molten rock formed in the backyard, causing Wang Zijia to stop his efforts.

The newly established basement now had a space of dozens of square meters, with a height of over four meters. The entire underground space was surrounded by solid blood-red crystal walls, exceptionally hard and sleek, and looked very beautiful.

The only downside was the pervasive blood-red color. When illuminated, it glowed hot red, making it feel like one was immersed in a sea of blood. This, coupled with the already gloomy and dark underground space, made the atmosphere seem even more like the Underworld.

The square space resembled that of a coffer chamber bathed in blood-red light from a lantern.

The air was slightly stagnant, but for Wang Zijia’s current cultivation level, it was not much of an issue. He wasn’t planning on constructing any ventilation either, to maintain secrecy, he would think about installing a wind array plate later on.

"Okay, from now on, this will be my secret base. Whenever I have the time, I’ll expand it bit by bit until it becomes an underground palace!"

Wang Zijia clapped his hands and temporarily abandoned his construction work.

He took out a spirit pill and started taking his medicine.

"Value +21!"

"Value +22!"

"······"

After an hour, Wang Zijia had consumed a whole jade gourd filled with spirit pills, which was about 370 pills, transforming them into a new value level of over 8000.

Spiritual Root: Special Earth Blood Spiritual Root (Medium Grade 58127/500 thousand)

Looking at the new value transformed, Wang Zijia nervously took out a new jade bottle and gently opened it.

In an instant, an extremely intoxicating aroma of wine filled the entire underground space.

In his daze, the basement seemed to have fairies singing and dancing, the blood-red lights made it look like a demon school dance.

Wang Zijia, looking at the remaining two and nine of the Ultimate Dirty, carefully extracted a very small wisp of wine fog, and instantly sealed it up again.

After storing the wine bottle properly, Wang Zijia opened his mouth.

"Suck in!"

With a large gulp, he inhaled the wine mist in his hand along with the wine aroma in the basement into his lungs. A faint sense of intoxication rose, like ascending to immortality and enjoying the earthly joys.

Seemingly in his daze, Wang Zijia saw an immortal beckoning him.

The Five Ghosts Runes on his chest also became very active, images of Fuwa tumbling around, looking like greedy ghosts.

Wang Zijia entered the Dimension of Knowledge, where a blood-red weight was in his hand.

Weight: The Nefarious Ultimate Dirty Essence

Status: Polluted

Value: 1

Introduction: It seems that this death-seeking youngster is not satisfied with eating such disgusting stuff and is preparing to produce and sell himself, you are simply crazily seeking death.

Looking at the weight, Wang Zijia resolutely summoned and threw the Spiritual Root Weight into the Golden Balance.

[Would you like to consume 8127 value and exchange it for: The Nefarious Ultimate Dirty Essence?]

"Yes!"

In an instant, the blood-red weights, which were just dots of light in Wang Zijia’s hand, quickly expanded to the size of a chicken egg. They were entirely blood-red, emanating a strong ominous aura.

Then, with a feeling of trepidation, Wang Zijia tossed the blood-red weights into the Balance Scale.

Once again, he made a gesture towards the sky, and silver weights belonging to Tai Chi Fist flew into his hands.

[Do you wish to exchange the value of the Nefarious Ultimate Dirty Essence for Taiji?]

"Yes!"

Wang Zijia watched nervously as the blood-red weights slowly transformed into a spot of light, which quickly flashed and was expelled from his body, vanishing completely.

Tai Chi: 9181

Not until he saw the value increase of the Tai Chi weights, could Wang Zijia no longer conceal his ecstatic expression!

"Haha, I really am a genius!"

"I built a bridge with sins and practiced the Devil Cultivator’s way. Who else can do this!!!"

The overwhelming joy prompted Wang Zijia to burst out laughing arrogantly.

······

In the outside world, as Wang Zijia exchanged the value of the Spiritual Roots for the Nefarious Dirty Essence, the basement mysteriously changed. A faint, strange aura emanated from Wang Zijia’s body, covering the entire underground space.

As if, in a blink, the basement was transitioning into another dimension, and something peculiar seemed about to happen to the flesh and blood on Wang Zijia, as if he was about to transform entirely.

The Five Ghosts squirmed non-stop on his chest, each filled with joy and admiration, as if being nurtured in a mother’s womb.

But before anything else could change and all the other anomalies could breed, everything disappeared.

Only the blood-red basement remained, a witness to what happened.

······

After a long time, Wang Zijia finally stifled the joy in his heart.

This enlightenment-like Spiritual Light wasn’t just about a weight exchange; it meant that from now on, the Skill’s value wouldn’t be rarer than the Cultivation’s value anymore, but could all be converted.

Especially for others—before this, when Wang Zijia wanted to give them boosts, he could only use the value of other skills.

This resulted in the bizarre phenomenon that the other person needed to be well versed in various talents, and after the exchange, their other Spells would degrade.

But now he doesn’t need to anymore; he can just use the Cultivation Value Degree if necessary.

This moment represented that the two types of weights in his body—iron and silver—had their values completely circulated thanks to the Blood-red Evil Seed Weights acting as equivalents!

After calming down, Wang Zijia looked at the three Magic Doors.

[Do you wish to consume a value of 7000 and upgrade False Foundation Talisman Summoning to mastery?]

"Yes!"

With the exchange of value degree, countless Talisman Way epiphanies emerged in Wang Zijia’s mind. With the deepening of understanding, his comprehension of the Talisman Technique grew deeper and deeper, especially for the False Foundation Talisman Summoning. It went from being able to condense ten talismans to twenty.

False Foundation Talisman Summoning (Mastery 10000/20000)

Tai Chi: 2181

······

After half a day, Wang Zijia finally opened his eyes in a daze, a faint glimmer of runes at the bottom of his eyes.

With a face full of joy, he carefully sensed himself. Besides the Five Ghosts seeming to be more attached to him, there were no other changes. Only then did Wang Zijia get up and ascend the steps, leaving the underground space.

After arriving in the basement, Wang Zijia looked down at the entrance of the cave at his feet, his expression was somewhat unhappy.

After a moment of thought, he opened a door in the corner of the basement wall, slightly adjusted the cave entrance, making it spiral downwards, like a staircase in an underground castle.
