Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Base Construction

Immediately following this, Wang Zijia’s mana surged, and the bloody crystals quickly grew from both sides of the wall, covering the door entrance on the wall. Only when the red crystals on the wall receded and returned to their original state did Wang Zijia withdraw his hand.

"Next, I’m going to create a passage from the cultivation room and bedroom that leads directly to the underground space. Once complete, our base will be initially set up! It’ll be perfect!"

Wang Zijia clapped his hands and left the basement.

"Did you finish work early again?" As soon as Wang Zijia left the room, he saw Xiang Feifei in the courtyard and asked.

Xiang Feifei looked at Wang Zijia, rolled her eyes unusually and said, "If I hadn’t come back, I would have been surrounded by those looking for connections at Fu Tower."

With a puzzled expression on his face, Wang Zijia listened to Xiang Feifei lament, "People were crowding me with questions about what it feels like to have a husband who stays at the Fu Tower all day with his disciples and treats surpassing a challenge from a sword repairer as if it’s child’s play. I only realized then how strong my fiancé is!"

"Err..." Wang Zijia was embarrassed for a moment, then said, "Don’t listen to their blatant lies. You know how rumors fly around Fu Tower. If I make a talisman today, by tomorrow they’ll be saying that I’ve produced a Fourth Class Spiritual Card."

Xiang Feifei rolled her eyes again and looked at Wang Zijia, speechless for a moment.

"Why is there such a huge pile of crystal soil in your backyard?"

After a moment of silence, Xiang Feifei changed the subject.

"Oh, I tidied up the basement in my courtyard a bit. Sometimes I want to try some spells, but I don’t want to run to the Scripture Pavilion’s branches." Wang Zijia explained.

Xiang Feifei looked at Wang Zijia but didn’t press further, instead, she asked, "Do you need any arrays? I can help you set up complete systems of stealth, defense, and ventilation basic arrays?"

"Sure!" As Wang Zijia responded with a smile, he pointed inside the room and said, "Let’s chat later, I haven’t finished renovating here!"

"You go ahead, I’ll contact Great Uncle to help you." Xiang Feifei said in response.

"Going to Great Uncle? Wouldn’t that be too much trouble?" Wang Zijia stopped and asked.

Xiang Feifei waved her hand and said, "Don’t worry, grandfather and Great Uncle specifically discussed this with me yesterday. They said that anything you need will become a matter for the Xiang family, as long as you’re not bothered."

Wang Zijia: "..."

This little wife of his, she really is treating him like a gigolo!

"You haven’t taken any advantage of me, yet you’ve invested so much. You’re making me feel embarrassed." Wang Zijia suddenly acquired a coy disposition and said, "Why don’t I let you take some advantage first, to get a taste?"

Xiang Feifei froze for a moment, then, her face blushed as she said, "You’re asking for it!"

After saying this, she hurriedly ran into her own courtyard.

"What are you thinking? I was being literal!" Wang Zjia looked at Xiang Feifei with a smirk and added.

Xiang Feifei stumbled, almost face-planting. She quickened her pace and entered the courtyard.

Wang Zijia smirked and shook his head, saying, "She’s too naive!"

Having said this, he didn’t linger any longer and turned into his cultivation room. After looking around, he chose a corner and began to renovate with his mana in full flow.

Earth Techniques had especially strong advantages in construction. It could easily transform the properties of mud and melting crystal, making the process of building extremely easy.

Large machinery from his previous life would take several days to complete construction that spanned dozens of meters under the ground. Yet, Wang Zijia finished the construction in an afternoon. He even performed simultaneous operations like tiling and polishing.

By dusk, Wang Zijia had completed the general construction of the underground space. All that was left was the expansion and detailed carving of the underground structure.

Like dividing a cultivation room or creating a spell laboratory, for example.

...

After having dinner with Xiang Feifei in the evening, Wang Zijia once again burrowed into the basement and moved the altar to the underground space.

For this, Wang Zijia specifically built a curse room, used for various curses and the refining of demons, amongst other activities of the underworld.

The entire curse room was made of bloody jade, with spirit blood as talismans and a bone-made altar. As soon as a light was shining, the room was bathed in a scarlet red hue, with shivers running up his back due to the coldness. Wang Zijia was quite satisfied with this, thinking he had a great talent for construction.

An underworld style was a style too, wasn’t it?

After making a preliminary tidy-up, Wang Zijia began tonight’s attempts at cursing.

Through cursing the hidden animal spies of the Beast Control lineage, Wang Zijia continuously adjusted the strength of the curse. The aim wasn’t to create a traceless curse but at least a curse that felt like a dream one had during one’s sleep.

This level of illusionary curse probably wouldn’t trigger the stress response of death-substitution treasures. Once he had figured it out, it would extremely benefit his demon seeding.

······

The next morning, after practising martial arts and having a meal, everyone went out.

Wang Zijia didn’t go to work but went to Qifeng and arrived at the familiar Scripture Pavilion.

Yesterday’s battle had made him realize that he needed to add some close combat methods.

If he could use the Five Ghosts at will it would be enough, but he couldn’t simply make extra hands appear during a big competition. At most, he could use the ghost fog state, which required him to have some close combat methods.

When Wang Zijia stepped into the ancient main gate of the Scripture Pavilion, a familiar sensation of passing through streaming light attacked him. When Wang Zijia came back to his senses, he had already arrived back in the deep starry sky.

Standing in the void, above his head were countless secret books, jade slips and even inheritances, like many stars.

Every time he came here, Wang Zijia could clearly feel his insignificance and the strength of the Wanyu Sect.

[Detected that you have the authority of Dao Seed, you still have five of the nine initial techniques to obtain, you can filter them yourself.]

[Note: Remaining Dao Seed nine technique rights, two secret inheritances, one direct inheritance of the three tribes, one general technique authority.]

"I need a close combat technique."

[Do you have specific requirements?]

"It can act like a flying sword technique, covering both near and far. It’d be best if it could integrate with multiple Dao and serve as a base technique for the Fire, Earth, Flesh, and Spiritual series."

With Wang Zijia’s request, the starry sky currents surged. One by one, light orbs were filtered out, and one after another, light screens appeared in front of Wang Zijia.
