Chapter 361: Chapter 343: A Big Shot Appears

"Huh, should I be thanking you for your compliment?" Wang Zijia replied with a laugh.

Mo Yunzi wouldn’t dare continue that chain of thought. The older man managed to muster a smile on his face, which due to his features, came off as somewhat endearing.

"I could offer you the opportunity, Perfected One, but given your age, even if I were to enlighten you with my divine powers, allowing you to comprehend a magic door and qualify for a breakthrough, you would still struggle to form a True Rune Seed in a short period," said Wang Zijia.

Mo Yunzi looked at Wang Zijia with a face full of joy, not interrupting him and waiting for the rest of his sentence.

Wang Zijia paused for a moment before explaining, "If you can find a demonic beast of the Perfected Realm that has not entirely turned into a demon, capture it without killing it, and bring it back, or call me over, I can provide you with a Fake Pill Symbol Seed."

"Fake pill?" asked a confused Mo Yunzi. The people surrounding them were likewise curious and looked at Wang Zijia.

"This technique is from the Upper Realms, and it allows you to form a Fake Pill, promoting you to the Fake Pill True Human beforehand," Wang Zijia paused briefly before adding, "Of course, this method has countless benefits, but there are also several drawbacks."

"The first choice is to use this Fake Pill historically as your trump card, only using it during battles. This option has minimal impact on your foundation – the less you use it, the smaller the effect," said Wang Zijia.

"The other choice is to use it to refine your mana, or even entirely consider it your own Rune Seed to ascend to the Perfected Realm."

"But if you choose to consider it your own True Seed and ascend to the Perfected Realm, your cultivation will be locked at the Initial Stage of the Perfected Realm for life."

The room fell into silence upon hearing these words.

"Disciple understands. Disciple will go find some demonic beasts and their demon pills!" Mo Yunzi hastily responded.

Wang Zijia nodded indifferently and said, "You should hasten your efforts; by the look of it, your lifespan has at most one more ’Jiazi’ (a period of 60 years). Even with the fake pill, forming your own won’t be accomplished in a short period."

"Disciple understands!" Mo Yunzi respectfully bowed and turned to leave.

Li Lexin hesitated for a moment, bowed to Wang Zijia as well and then followed him out.

"Junior Brother Lexin, is something the matter?" asked Mo Yunzi, noticing Li Lexin had hurried after him.

With great hesitation, Li Lexin retrieved a thumb-sized bloody crystal sculpture, "This is a Fu Treasure bestowed by our ancestors. We did not use it before, and now it is considered one of the great treasures of our sect. I suppose you will plan to go out to sea again. It will ensure your safety."

"Junior Brother Lexin, this is..." Mo Yunzi remarked with a shocked expression.

"Since we are both of the Water Spirit Lineage, I only hope that if you do manage to become a Perfected One, you will remember today. Even if you ascend to the Upper Realms, don’t forget what happened," said Li Lexin.

"Junior Brother Lexin, you don’t have confidence in the competition for the quota of the Suppressing Borders?" Suddenly, Mo Yunzi changed the topic.

With a bitter smile, Li Lexin finally responded after a moment of silence, "If I were competing with others, I would not feel inferior. However... Senior Brother Feiyang was always our leader. Only because of him, were we able to receive the inheritance of entering the coffin."

"And as for Junior Sister Wenrui, she was initially on par with me. But now that there is an additional Demon Sovereign in the Forbidden Area, I am sure our ancestors will create some hindrances before they leave."

"Aside from Junior Sister Wenrui, who else is more suitable?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunzi, looking at the bitter smile on Li Lexin’s face, realized why the Saint Master had been increasingly interacting with outsiders these years.

Just like him, they were only making a change in their paths because they knew they could not contend under normal circumstances.

"Rest assured, Junior Brother Lexin, I will never forget today’s events," Mo Yunzi solemnly bowed to Li Lexin.

"With your word, Brother, I feel a bit more at ease."

...

In the room, after Mo Yunzi and Li Lexin had left, only the two Saint Masters and the brawny young man Shang Rifeng remained.

"What’s his situation?" Wang Zijia asked while looking at Hui Feiyang.

Upon hearing this, Hui Feiyang responded promptly, "Honorable ancestor, this lad’s town was hit by a disaster and destroyed by a demon."

"Only he had the fortune to survive. He was later found by a rescue disciple and brought back to the sect. Initial tests showed that he was just on the edge of having a lower grade spiritual root."

Shang Rifeng, the brawny young man standing beside them, wanted to say something when he heard Hui Feiyang talk about him being the only survivor, but he didn’t know what to say.

He had something to say, yet he was at a loss. His mind felt empty. These past two months since his return, he had felt that something was missing in his life.

Upon listening to Hui Feiyang’s words, Wang Zijia frowned slightly. A spark of Demon Spirit Light silently entered his mouth.

It took only a few moments to implant the Demon Seed.
