Chapter 233: Chapter 233: Making Money

A streak of light slashed across the sky, rapidly arriving above Wanyu City. Then the speed of the light dramatically dropped, revealing a jade shuttle flying boat to the crowd.

The enchanting teen standing at the tip of the flying boat with his hands clasped behind his back attracted more attention than the boat made of shimmering jade.

At sixteen or seventeen, his youthful face was already showing signs of elegance, with his features being distinct and sharp. His eyes sparkled like the stars, a celestial grace that seemed to belong only to the immortals of the legends.

"Greetings to Wang Daozi!"

"We’ve seen Wang Daozi!"

"Welcome home, Daozi!"

"..."

With the salutations of several wine monks, a large crowd of disciples performing miscellaneous duties outside the Wanyu Sect gates respectfully greeted him.

Many monks on the surrounding streets also respectfully greeted him, and even ordinary humans who were at work knelt down and worshipped.

Wang Zijia, seemingly like an immortal among mortals, descended amidst all the attention while accompanied by several women and collected the flying boat with a wave of his hand.

"Senior Brother Luo Xu, why such a spectacle for my homecoming? It seems as if I’m not a resident of Wanyu City!" Wang Zijia said to a middle-aged man, one of the leading figures among the wine monks.

"Wang Daozi is the pride of our Wanyu Immortal City. Given his rare homecoming, a reception is the least we can do!" City Master Luo Xu replied with a smile.

"Indeed, who would have thought that a Dao Child would come from a place like our Wanyu Pavilion!" Tian Long, one of the leading wine monks and the owner of Wanyu Pavilion, said warmly with a smile.

"If you all keep making such a fuss, I’ll be scared to come home casually."

"..."

After having a bit of casual chat and realizing that Wang Zijia, the Dao Child, was not arrogant, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They then warmly ushered Wang Zijia into Wanyu Pavilion.

"Well, that’s all for now, everyone scatter!"

With these words echoed, the quiet street became somewhat chaotic.

"Wang Daozi? Is he the champion of the grand competition?"

"Good grief, such a prodigy actually comes from a place like our Wanyu City?"

"Don’t be surprised, I heard that Wang Daozi used to work in the Wanyu Pavilion warehouse. Now many people are spreading the rumor that the Wanyu Pavilion warehouse holds an incredible opportunity!"

"Really! Should we try to apply for work there?"

"Come on, with your attitude, you aspire to achieve Dao Child’s opportunity?"

"Besides, only Wanyu Sect disciples of Wanyu Pavilion can enter. We, the wandering monks in the fairy city, should stop dreaming!"

"..."

While everyone was discussing, Wang Zijia had already been led to the fourth floor for tea and conversation.

Apart from several respected Wine Monks, only Xiang Feifei, a few women, and Grandfather Xiang Ji entered. They were probably considered because of their status, and were treated the same way as him.

The rest of the disciples performing miscellaneous duties didn’t go to the fourth floor. After welcoming Wang Zijia, they went to their respective departments for work. As for why they didn’t go straight home...

The chance to see Daozi up close was possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, so how could they just go home!

In the fourth floor, after a lively conversation, Tian Long, the owner of Wanyu Pavilion, asked, "Does Daozi Wang have any business for coming back to the city this time, or is he simply visiting his relatives?"

"Elder brother Tian, just call me junior, Daozi sounds distant." Wang Zijia took a sip of tea and replied with a smile.

"If you insist, I will follow your preference then," Tian Long answered with a full smile on his face.

"Apart from visiting, I actually have another matter which I originally planned to ask Elder Brother Tian for help. But now that Elder Brother Luo has arrived..." Wang Zijia turned his head to look at Luo Xu and said, "I will shamelessly ask you for a favor, Elder Brother Luo."

"What task could actually make Brother Wang so solemn? It makes one somewhat uneasy." Luo Xu paused while drinking tea, placed down the teacup, and half-jokingly, half-seriously replied, "Don’t look at me slightly deeper in cultivation than you, we exiles can’t compare ourselves at all to you, Daozi Wang. I am willing to help but I fear I’m not capable."

"It’s not a difficult task for City Master." Wang Zijia spoke and flipped his hand over. A jade box radiating spiritual light appeared in his hand. When he opened it, there was something flesh-like inside the box and a finger bone glowing in it.

"A spiritual object!" Luo Xu’s eyes widened in surprise.

"A Class A spiritual object!" Tian Long stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open in awe as he stared at the flesh and finger bone in the jade box.

"This is my reward from the grand competition, and you all know that I have already completed my Dao Foundation, so it’s useless to me," Wang Zijia said while holding the blood spirit finger bone, "So, I thought about using the auction house in the city to sell it for a good price."

"Really?" Luo Xu asked in surprise.

"Daozi Wang, do you really want to auction such a spiritual object? And sell it for magic money?" Tian Long asked with astonishment covering his face.

"..."

Everyone was somewhat in disbelief and looked at Wang Zijia in shock.

Wang Zijia forced a wry smile and said, "I’m afraid that all of you brothers will laugh at me. You should know my background better than I do. For you, it’s best to keep this object for posterity. But for me, it’s more practical to exchange it for money."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Feifei unconsciously gripped the handkerchief in her hand. Xiang Ji, who was sitting in the corner, also moved his lips but couldn’t bring himself to say a word.

"If you are serious about auctioning such a spiritual object, Brother, and there’s no additional condition, it’s quite simple. But if you want to sell it for a high price, we should wait a few days and let me promote it and warm up the market."

Luo Xu said while looking around at the familiar faces, each showing different emotions, and the determination in their eyes.

Although Wanyu Fairy City was considered low-end, it was a bridgehead for Wanyu Sect to connect with the outside world. If a Class A spiritual object was used for auctioning magical money, it was the best place to do so.

"There’s no rush, just make sure it’s done within a month." Wang Zijia replied with a smile.

"Then there would be no problem!"

"..."

People then discussed various topics for a long time before slowly dispersing.

Wang Zijia then left with Xiang Ji, exiting the fourth floor.

"It’s our Xiang family that has no backbone, and we can’t support you!" As soon as they left the fourth floor, Xiang Ji looked at Wang Zijia and sighed.

"When my father passed away and I had no one to turn to, did I ever say such outlandish things when you helped me?" Wang Zijia stepped forward and took Xiang Ji’s arm, smiling, "Besides, this is just one Class A spiritual object, worth some magic money. It’s not particularly precious."

Not to mention, he had saved quite a lot of medicine lead!
