Chapter 321: Chapter 312: The Year of Vigorous Blood Qi【Seeking Monthly Tickets, Seeking Subscriptions】

[Hello Dao Child Wang Zijia, welcome to the Scripture Pavilion!]

A familiar and warm greeting snapped Wang Zijia out of his daze.

"Hello!"

Wang Zijia responded with a smile.

[What kind of spell are you looking for? As a Daoist of the Scripture Pavilion, you can search for Level 1 and 2 Spells. For first-level spells, no task quota or any other condition is required for exchange. Second level depends on the situation.]

"I want to choose several enlightenment techniques, including, but not limited to, inheritance, teaching, enlightenment, and creatures-directed techniques."

[These generally involve thought, belief, and spirit. Considering that you’ve learned mental forbidden techniques, I need to remind you that the sect’s prohibition on certain techniques isn’t due to their strength but because of the potential severe harm caused if they’re used improperly.]

[Mental forbidden techniques represent the beginning of the spiritual techniques. I need to remind you Dao Child, that toying with spirits is the most evil method, the devils among the devils. The sect strictly forbids this, please do remember.]

Wang Zijia: "······"

Why do I feel like you’re insinuating something about me?

No!

I haven’t done anything evil, how come I’m suddenly the devil of devils?

That’s right, someone as selfless and prominent within the sect, the future of the younger generation, like me possibly can’t be a devil that toys with spirits. Surely you’re talking about someone else!

[Additionally, once you’ve chosen a mind technique that constitutes a scope of techniques, it will be explicitly documented in your personal records. If anyone connected to you is found using the related techniques, you will face a very strict review by the Internal Affairs Hall!]

[So, Dao Child, do you still want these techniques?]

"Hmm!" Amid his thoughts, Wang Zijia responded without showing any emotions.

As Wang Zijia confirmed his choices, the orbs in the sky turned again. One orb after another was pushed out from the sea of orbs, giving birth to light screens.

Technique: Heart Eye Sensing.

Level: First-Class Advanced Level.

Belongs to: Scripture Pavilion.

Dao Kung: 2000.

Merit: 1.

Introduction: A teaching technique. When imparting this technique, the student can gain your sense of perception to a certain extent and understand the technique under your guidance.

Note: You can guide only when your understanding progress far surpasses that of the other person.

Technique: Creating Talisman Heart Seed.

Level: First-Class Advanced Level.

Belongs to: Talisman Court.

Dao Kung: 2000.

Merit: 1.

Introduction: This is a foundational technique for summoning in the Talisman Court. It allows setting an artificial intelligence to make paper figures, puppets, etc., have certain reactions even without control.

Note: To set the artificial intelligence yourself, you need to consider many actual situations and set responses in advance. It’s challenging to truly condense wisdom.

However, you can combine this with spirit binding and body refining techniques, wipe memory, and create puppets using this. Please use it with caution or the Demon Suppressing Tower will be your eternal home!

Looking at this technique, Wang Zijia paused a bit.

Preset responses?

Why does it feel like an Xianxia version of ’Artificial Idiot’?

This thing... obviously, it’s a part of the spirit illusion technique, which is powerful enough to construct reincarnation. And it’s the most core one!

Technique: Spirit Nurturing Technique.

Level: First-Class Advanced Level.

Belongs to: Artifact Academy.

Dao Kung: 1000.

Introduction: Use Essence Blood as a guide to cultivate utensils in your heart. After a considerable amount of time, there is a chance that the utensils will advance towards gaining spiritual wisdom. This technique is one of the nine spirit-nurturing techniques for refining utensils.

······

A plethora of different techniques left Wang Zijia a bit intimidated.

Every time he came here, Wang Zijia was tempted to rob the Scripture Pavilion.

Couldn’t help it, seeing the orbs in the sky was really tempting.

Finally, after much picking and choosing, Wang Zijia ended up choosing six techniques. He of course didn’t pass up on Creating Talisman Heart Seed, Heart Eye Sensing and some other forbidden techniques. The cost was once again three meritorious points, bringing him back to zero.

[Six techniques in total. Dao Kung: 9100, Merit: 3. As a Dao Child, you receive an 80% discount on Dao Kung. Finally, you need to pay Dao Kung: 7280, Merit: 3.]

Thankfully, I have enough money left.

Or else, I would be in debt again!

As Wang Zijia confirmed his choice, six streams of spiritual light fell into his embrace.

Following that was the streaming light across his eyes. When he recovered, the Scripture Pavilion mercilessly kicked him out again.

’Damn, you heartbreaker, always irresponsible after you have it your way, one day, I will devour all your inheritances!’

’No, I will not even let the building off!’

Thinking this way, Wang Zijia soared into the sky as streaming light without any further delay.

By the time Wang Zijia returned to the small courtyard at White Peach Peak, it was almost dark.

"Did you go to the sect? You’re back so late!" Landing in the White Peach Garden, Xiang Feifei, who had long been waiting for him, stepped up and asked.

"Hmm, I went to the Scripture Pavilion and got a few techniques." Wang Zijia nodded: "Did you get another leave of absence?"

"No!" Xiang Feifei shook her head and said, "I haven’t been to the peach garden for a few days, so I wanted to come visit."

"The commute back and forth takes you hours, why don’t you just quit your job at the Fu Tower!" Wang Zijia said with a frown.

"Let’s wait a bit. Let’s start the work officially, apply for welfare after we complete the blood-opening mission. These days, everything needs money. If I don’t work, there will be an extra expense." Xiang Feifei said with a smile.

Wang Zijia paused slightly, looking at Xiang Feifei without saying a word.

This was why Xiang Feifei touched him. Perhaps it was due to the education of being a monk. Although she was born in such a world and received a lot of education on how to be a good wife and mother, at her core, she didn’t think Wang Zijia had to support her.

Wang Zijia was very clear about this feeling.

The idea was different from his previous life. "You should support me as if I were a princess, yet, I also demand equality...."

The expectation was that it was men’s duty to take on everything in life. Many women, however, were enjoying the welfare of ancient women while expecting the status of modern women.

Well, anyway, the comparison was impossible.

Perhaps this was what made monks different.

You could say she understood equality. She had been educated about being a good wife and mother, and was also mostly accustomed to Wang Zijia making decisions.

You could also say she was not for equality. She didn’t have the servility of obeying her parents, her husband, her sons. She was independent, and had her own opinions.

Perhaps her perspective was, "I might let you take the lead, since you are my husband."

In life, we are all monks with similar outlooks.

Therefore, it was really comfortable to be around Xiang Feifei. There was no advantage or disadvantage because of gender, very comforting.

"Alright, anyway, if you feel tired, just stop running. If not for the fact that I will have to start teaching here in a few days, I could have stayed in Biyi Court and waited until everything here was built before moving," said Wang Zijia with a lightning-fast thought.

"No problem, anyway, I get off work quite early every day. Just consider it as exercise!" Xiang Feifei smiled.

"..."

They chatted casually while dining, then strolling around the White Peach Garden after dinner.

They had been in the sect for almost two years. Now he was eighteen, and Xiang Feifei was almost seventeen. As they grew older, Wang Zijia could definitely feel Xiang Feifei becoming more affectionate and clingy towards him.

Well, perhaps it was the age when a teenage girl starts to fall in love!

Every time Wang Zijia was around her, he could feel the surging passion and primitive impulse from his body.

He didn’t pretend to be a saint, but he didn’t make the final move. Not only because of their age, but mainly because Xiang Feifei had not yet been promoted to Sacrificial Wine. Even if the impact were minimal, it was not worth it.

There was plenty of time ahead, youth was unforgettable. Keeping some days of flirting and heart itching was also not bad.

After loitering around for a while and doing some naughty things, he carried Xiang Feifei, who was blushing and panting, back to the courtyard.

Wang Zijia practiced a set of punches as usual, then cursed Yue Changqing in Minxin’s Sea of Consciousness.

...

That night, in the Sacrificial Laboratory at the White Peach Peak Underground Base.

"Hiss!" The Five Ghosts transformed into black fog, constantly gnawing at the corpse in the ice pool day and night.

The corpses were simply too low-level. In order to improve the digestion speed, these guys had started becoming picky, not even eating the bones.

The pool was left with a pile of white bones.

Without paying attention to the several ghosts, Wang Zijia took out several technique books and started comprehending.

Even the forbidden techniques were only first grade. Given that Wang Zijia was very proficient in mental illusion techniques now, comprehending them was not hard.

After reading the forbidden techniques three times, he completed the comprehension.

Dao cultivation: Two hundred years (1.06 million/2 million)

Spirit Nurturing Technique (Not Yet Started 50/300),

Heart Eye Sensing (Not Yet Started 50/300),

Creating Talisman Heart Seed (Not Yet Started 50/300),

...

Enlightenment Technique (Not Yet Started 100/3000),

Taiji: 76765

Dao Kung: 1065

Merit: 0

Looking at the six techniques, Wang Zijia no longer hesitated and went straight on.

With more than 70,000 value degrees, it was not enough to cultivate a lower-level technique and reach great mastery in two techniques.

Therefore, Wang Zijia inhaled a wisp of foul wine breath, exchanged 30,000 value degrees of cultivation for backup, and then began the breakthrough.

"Do you wish to use 2950 value degrees to enhance Heart Eye Sensing to Great Mastery?"

"Yes!"

"..."

"Do you wish to use 2950 value degrees to enhance Creating Talisman Heart Seed to Great Mastery?"

"Yes!"

"Do you wish to use 49,900 value degrees to enhance the Enlightenment Technique to Great Mastery?"

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, nearly 70,000 value degrees were spent, achieving Great Mastery in one technique and six first-class advanced techniques. A myriad of understandings of The Way of the Heart surfaced in Wang Zijia’s mind.

Wang Zijia paid no attention and threw all the runes of the lower-level technique and nine first-class advanced techniques into the Second Red Copper Weight at once.

"Boom!"

In his mind, there were changes as if the heavens and the earth were splitting apart.

Countless pieces of knowledge instinctively merged and evolved on their own, giving birth to new applications. Various effects intertwined. At this moment, Wang Zijia felt as if he had become a grand master of The Way of the Heart.

He felt like he could control all creatures’ consciousness in his hand as if by default. In a daze, he saw a boundless sea of chaos. In the sea, countless light orbs stood tall.

He instinctively felt that something was important. It had a profound impact on him. He wanted to wake himself up and see it more clearly.

"Boom!"

He was greeted by a tsunami of knowledge drowning him. In the end, he couldn’t see clearly what it was.

...
