Chapter 334: Chapter 322: Choice

’Things are this complicated? How come I don’t know anything!’

With confusion flickering across his face, Wang Zijia asked, "A relegation task?"

"Yes. The Yue Family originally planned to develop the Fox Language Demon Forest with Elder Qianhu, but you unexpectedly got the right to develop the pass midway. According to your teaching talent, Yue Changqing set such a task."

"Before the war, it was indeed a kind of exile. After all, time passes differently in the Qinglian World now. We might only be a year in, but two hundred years have passed down there without us completing the bidirectional ascension channel. In such a period, it would be very difficult to pull you out."

"If the task does not go smoothly, you may end up dying of old age down there, with your whole life slipping away. But if such a task was tailored for you, then the benefits would definitely not be few, otherwise, it would not have passed the application for the pass-development task."

At this point, Wang Zijia caught onto the key point and said, "Is this lower realm task comparable to the previous development of the Fox Language Demon Forest? I heard there was a plan to get a six-grade spirit fruit tree there!"

Xu Yuyu responded with a smile, "Don’t look down on the lower realm. When the spiritual energy is revived in a realm, it is a time when all kinds of natural treasures proliferate. If you really go down there, as long as your cultivation keeps up, you should be able to find perfected realm spiritual objects directly down there."

"Of course, you can forget about the six-grade spiritual fruits, but there are quite a few natural treasures with the potential of a six-grade spiritual fruit tree! If not for this, would we really send you to prison in a barren lower realm of the End of Dharma?"

"Do you think that Elder Gu would have fought Yue Changqing to prevent this task from being assigned and then assigned it to you again? Is he too full?"

Hearing this, Wang Zijia’s eyes shone brightly.

It really was a custom task! He felt sorry for Yue Changqing. Had his death been a bit unjust?!

If you had told me earlier that there was such a task, I would have willingly accepted it!

How could such a great opportunity be called banishment?!

"The fact that you were summoned here shows what the top chooses clearly. But the dangers are real. Once caught, don’t expect your sect to stand up for you. It’s good enough if they don’t silence you for leaking information."

"The lower realm is no walk in the park either. World bidirectional anchoring requires a local cultivator to do it, so the sect can’t send down two individuals on the verge of a breakthrough. Sending down inferior individuals with force-fed inheritance doesn’t work, and the special circumstances of the current period mean that it’s unimaginably expensive to send a disciple down, and even harder to pull them back up."

"You should be prepared to die down there. After all, opening the pass was never going to be anything simple, so think carefully about it!"

As Xu Yuyu rattled off these remarks, Wang Zijia was deep in thought.

After pondering for a while, he finally spoke, "If I choose the task of the Lower World, can I receive the True Man Volume of the Universe Law Canon in advance?"

"Not only can you receive it in advance, but you can also receive at least five complete inheritances of the Perfected Realm Dao Techniques, each of which includes six sets of First-grade Nine Techniques, one High-grade Technique, and one part of the Universe Law Canon (True Man Volume). You need not think about the Third-grade Parts."

"You must use these five inheritances to cultivate three disciples in the Perfected Realm." Xu Yuyu looked at Wang Zijia and advised earnestly.

Wang Zijia furrowed his brow and asked, "Why is there only one top-grade magic door in each set? Shouldn’t there be three?"

"Huh, do you think that disciples force-fed with ready-made inheritance can really be taught to become a true man? Even if you disregard the foundation of the disciple and force him to accept the inheritance so he can just barely function in the lower realm, he would still need to have some talent. If he can’t even self-cultivate the higher techniques, it is impossible to condense into a True Seed."

Xu Yuyu looked at Wang Zijia, paused, and then said, "Although the task appears safe, you aren’t a true man yet. You need to think carefully."

From the looks of it, he was conflicted. He hoped that Wang Zijia would choose the Spy Mission as an Etiquette Institute head; he knew better than anyone how dangerous this mission was.

But he was also afraid that once Wang Zijia went to the lower world, he might truly remain in the lower world.

However, Wang Zijia already had a very clear idea. The fact that he was already in the late stages of the Sacramental Wine part of his journey but dared not reveal his cultivation, fearing that others would think that he absorbed the inheritance without considering his potential, made him inclined towards the lower world.

Not to mention the various natural treasures in the revival of spiritual energy!

"The disciple chooses the task of the lower world!" Wang Zijia spoke his decision.

Xu Yuyu was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"Though the disciple’s cultivation is not too great, I am quite adept at teaching disciples!" Wang Zijia said confidently.

Xu Yuyu looked at Wang Zijia, taken aback, and asked, "Just because of that?"

"Otherwise?" Wang Zijia retorted. "This disciple thinks of the three tasks, the one I can complete is this. And the high-speed time difference will be of great help to this disciple’s cultivation."

Xu Yuyu looked at Wang Zijia seriously and then said, "Okay, you have a month to prepare. You can set off anytime within a month once your preparation is done, but you must head to the lower realm after a month."

Xu Yuyu said this while operating the light screen.

"As for the choice of inheritance, you are a Dao child of the Scripture Pavilion, so someone will coordinate with you. It’s best to let the Repository Guard choose for you; what you choose yourself may not be suitable for cultivation in the Qinglian world."

"The disciple understands!" Wang Zijia bowed respectfully, "If Martial Uncle has no further orders, the disciple will take his leave first!"

"Fine! Go and prepare!" Xu Yuyu waved his hand to dismiss Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia bowed again before turning to leave.

"Boom!"

Behind him, the sound of the zither rose once again.

······

Wang Zijia left the Etiquette Institute and returned to the Biyi Court.

"What happened?" Xiang Feifei hadn’t gone to work yet, clearly worried about Wang Zijia’s situation.

Wang Zijia showed a smile and said, "It’s nothing, they gave me a few tasks, and I chose one that doesn’t involve the battlefield and isn’t too dangerous—a task to open the veins."

Xiang Feifei sighed in relief, and asked with confusion, "How come the task was assigned at the Etiquette Institute?"

"It’s somewhat related." Wang Zijia laughed, not wanting to go into more detail, because the vow wasn’t to be taken lightly. He changed the subject and said, "Alright, you should go to work now. I also have a lot of things to do here!"

Xiang Feifei nodded and advised, "If you have any issues, don’t bear them alone. Although our family is not strong, we still have a lot of people."

"Mmm, I’ll remember!" Wang Zijia nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Xiang Feifei said no more, turned around, and headed towards the Qifu Faction.

Wang Zijia, after a moment of thought, checked his own store of various items, went to the cultivation room, sat cross-legged, activated the General Talisman Summon in his mind, and sent a message.

······

Inside a nondescript courtyard in the northern part of the Wanyu Immortal City—where Wang Zijia previously lived—a female cultivator at the Child Stage named Lin Ru suddenly woke up. A personal charm summon with a hint of shadow emerged in her eyes.

She was one of the covert spies from the Beast Hidden Group of the Ghost Spirit Dark Hall. Ever since Wang Zijia completed the takeover of the entire Dark Hall, the disciples had been reorganized.

Most of them were sent to the periphery of Sect, in groups of five, either to hunt down Sinners or solely to recover bodies.

The remaining few were led by Minxin and several other Sacrificial Wines, forming a new group, building a channel for trade.

This was so Wang Zijia could issue tasks at any time.

Lin Ru was the one who had been assigned to the Wanyu Immortal City, responsible for this trade channel.

Upon receiving the message, she hurriedly entered the courtyard, went to a secret room, and based on the information provided by the Charm Summon, started performing the ceremonious rituals.

"The smell of incense······"

Once she finished the rituals, a Paper Figure appeared before her, quickly inflated, and turned into a youth.

"Are you the person responsible for the trade in Wanyu Immortal City?" Wang Zijia asked bluntly, getting straight to the point.

"Yes, Martial Uncle!" Lin Ru promptly and respectfully replied.

"How is the trade channel construction coming along?" Wang Zijia looked around the secret room and asked.

She cautiously replied, "Most of the markets have been surveyed, and I’ve also set up a quite decent channel. Going forward, it should encompass major powers such as Wanyu Pavilion and the City Lord’s Mansion."

Wang Zijia nodded, not asking more. He then produced a large portion of Class A spiritual items: Dragon Origins, and said, "Sell these for me in an auction."

Seeing the Class A spiritual items, her eyes brightened significantly, before she quickly composed herself and asked, "Martial Uncle, do you have any specific requirements? Any auction house in mind?"

"None, just sell them for magic money." Wang Zijia said simply.

"May I request a few days to prepare? This rare Class A spiritual item can be used by everyone, that’s why after creating a buzz we can maximize the gain," she cautiously said.

"Complete it within ten days!" After Wang Zijia said this, he didn’t give her a chance to speak further, and his figure turned back into Paper Figure, floating before her.

"Once it’s done, contact me directly with this."

In the secret room, Wang Zijia’s departing words echoed.

With care, Lin Ru reached out and took the Paper Figure, placing it on the incense offering table in the secret room and started the worship rituals.

After praying twice, she hurriedly left the secret room.

······

In the cultivation room, Wang Zijia abruptly opened his eyes and continued to inventory his items.

Magic money: 21890 (-50,000)

Dao Kung: 5232

Since he was going to the Lower World and might stay there for a long time, he couldn’t go empty-handed.

Of course, this was not about selling goods for profit, but rather taking some supplies like seeds of spiritual plants and medicines along. It would provide a good foundation for the ones he was about to support in the Lower World and also serve as a precaution.
