My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange
Chapter 415 - 382

Chapter 415: 382

Gou Hongyuan and Black Tiger Minxin’s eyes were both flashing with a spiritual light, suppressing their excitement.

With a wave of the Demon Child Elder’s hand, the charm summons on their minds appeared simultaneously, a list materializing before their eyes.

"These are some low-level resources that the disciples below will need to handle during this period, and there might be some battlefield garbage later on. Because there’s quite a bit, you two are responsible for dealing with it."

"This is the list, and as for the actual items, they will be delivered to you when you get back. After you finish processing the goods, contact me again!"

As the two were looking at the list in confusion, the Demon Child Elder’s voice rang out, and they both suddenly realized, responding in unison, "We understand, and we guarantee to complete the task as soon as possible."

"There’s no need to rush, you can take your time as long as you ensure profits!" The Demon Child Elder reminded them, adding, "Oh, and we should start collecting those materials we stopped gathering before."

Gou Hongyuan looked a little confused, but Black Tiger Minxin immediately responded, "Understood!"

The Demon Child Elder nodded, looked at the two of them, and said: "Let’s call it a day."

"We obey your decree!"

As they both bowed, the Demon Child Elder’s figure had already turned into an invisible streaming light that flew into Minxin’s forehead and disappeared without a trace.

The two exchanged glances, and after the elder had disappeared for a long time, Minxin finally spoke, "Blood Spirit Senior Brother, it seems we will be a team from now on, please take care of me!"

Gou Hongyuan immediately laughed and said, "Nonsense, I just started learning, it should be me taking care of you, Brother Black Tiger!"

······

White Peach Peak, underground base, in the blood-red laboratory.

Wang Zijia suddenly opened his eyes, and the five ghosts protecting the law next to him quietly shrunk back, doing their best not to attract Wang Zijia’s attention.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Zijia stood up and left the laboratory, coming to the adjacent refrigeration area with the largest number of items.

After observing the layout of the refrigeration area for a moment, Wang Zijia created a spacious hall in the very center of all the refrigeration storages.

The circular hall was surrounded by densely packed frozen warehouses, with two passages at either end dividing the warehouses into two halves, making the hall seem like the core of the refrigerated warehousing, akin to some kind of strange square.

After adjusting the layout here, Wang Zijia glanced at his cultivation.

Cultivation: Middle Stage [Perfected]

Dao cultivation: Four Hundred Years (1013/2000)

Taiji: 224,000

Immediately after, he took a deep breath, and under the fearful gaze of the Five Ghosts, began a special exchange.

"Value Degree -100,000!"

As the value degree of his cultivation was exchanged into flesh and blood, Wang Zijia’s body began to squirm.

Lumps of flesh suddenly increased, followed by Wang Zijia using the Flesh Control Technique to split them apart. Upon hitting the ground, the flesh and blood expanded and squirmed, transforming into various young and old human skin paper people.

Each person, wearing different clothes and with different body shapes, the only thing in common was holding a book, and wearing a strange smile.

In the blood-red underground room, surrounded by frozen warehouses, in the circular central square, amidst the flashing lights, Wang Zijia was like an indescribable creature, continuously squirming flesh from his body, which fell to the ground and transformed into individuals holding books and smiling strangely.

The scene was weird, resembling an evil spirit more than the orthodox Five Ghosts!

After a long time, when one hundred thousand value degrees of flesh and blood were divided into one thousand pieces of flesh and blood, and had squirmed into a thousand different individuals, each holding a book and smiling strangely in the hall, everything finally calmed down.

Because every person was made from a hundred value degrees into a paper doll avatar, so their power was very weak, almost like a child who had just begun to cultivate.

But as long as their rank was high enough, ordinary people couldn’t distinguish between the real and the fake.

Wang Zijia glanced at the thousand avatars he had created. Although they didn’t have much power, they were more than enough to handle the corpse processing summoned by the Five Ghosts.

"From now on, you all will be responsible for responding to summons, mainly handling corpse transportation, and the transportation of various spiritual objects. Wait until the internal teleportation function is opened in the future, then consider whether or not to add more people!"

The one thousand avatars agreed mechanically in unison, "We obey your decree!"

Seeing this, Wang Zijia furrowed his eyebrows slightly.

"Large-scale avatars, does wisdom decrease rapidly? That’s alright even if they are made ahead of time using a chip, behaving like the troops from sowing beans or monkeys from picking fur, they’re just third-grade scriptures after all."

"No need to rush, wait until the Divine Thought Separation Chapter is perfected, especially achieving the Infant God condensing divine thought and can differentiate thoughts, then the avatar should be completely perfected, and at that time, each one should be able to have the same IQ as me!"

While thinking, Wang Zijia adjusted the entire refrigerated warehouse and summoning reaction square again, and after setting some rules, he left the basement.

······

Back in the cultivation room, he organized the events of the day, as well as what he should be busy with next.

He got up and left the room, going to the bedroom. Xiang Feifei seemed to have fallen asleep already.

But Wang Zijia keenly detected her slightly quickened breathing.

With a mischievous smile, he climbed into the quilt and stretched out his sinful hand.

Another restless night commenced.

······

Early the next morning, Wang Zijia once again started his day of practicing fist with the girls.

Everything was as if it had occurred yesterday, yet it also seemed incredibly distant.

"Do you have anything to do today?" asked Wang Zijia during breakfast.

"Hmm," Xiang Feifei nodded, "When I switched jobs yesterday, the landlord of the Qifu Tower did it ahead of time. It’s all already done."

"Today the disciples from the Array and Talisman Court Headquarters are coming, and you’ll go down the mountain to receive them for me. I still have many duties today, especially since returning two days ago, I haven’t yet reported to the Administrative Office. I’m swamped," Wang Zijia said.

"Me? Can I handle this with my cultivation...?" Xiang Feifei hesitated.

"It’s nothing. Besides me, everyone in our faction has about the same level of cultivation. The disciples from the Main Office won’t mind," Wang Zijia responded nonchalantly.

"What should I look out for?" Xiang Feifei asked.

"Even though the Fu Tower, Pill Tower, and other buildings in the core area of our faction have been constructed successfully with the support of the Qifu Faction, the array hasn’t been done yet. They will handle these details; you just need to organize people to check the work," Wang Zijia said after a moment’s thought, "An Xingsheng can basically manage it, you just need to hold the fort."

"Alright, I understand!" Xiang Feifei nodded.

During their casual conversation, they finished breakfast. Afterwards, Xiang Feifei was in a hurry to leave the mountain with her team.

Wang Zijia chuckled as he watched her rush off.

This was the first time she was in charge of something so big; she was clearly a little nervous and taking it seriously.

He wasn’t idle either; he cast out the Blood Fiend Jade Shuttle, transforming into a blood-colored streamer and heading once again towards the foot of Qifeng Mountain.

He had been so busy with the opening of the faction yesterday that he hadn’t finished all his tasks. Although he had only been gone a few months, it felt like decades, and there was a pile of tasks waiting for him.

...

At the foot of Qifeng Mountain, the Administrative Office.

The position in the Administrative Office was quite specific, yet it carried substantial authority. It was in charge of identity.

Promotions and positional adjustments among the various disciples and so forth.

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Wang!"

"Greetings, Wang Faction Head!"

...

As soon as he arrived at the Administrative Office and descended, all the disciples he passed by on the way either greeted him in surprise, in shock, or in curiosity.

It did not have the cold reception of the Secular Court, nor was there much of the fervor of the Artifact Academy and Talisman Court disciples.

Wang Zijia nodded in acknowledgment to all, strolling through numerous halls with an expressionless face, and eventually arrived before a five-story pavilion, carved from a single, large block of white jade.

He opened his identity card and glanced at it. After confirming that he hadn’t made any mistakes, Wang Zijia stepped inside.

"Martial Uncle Wang?" Just as he entered the pavilion, he bumped into a fellow disciple, unexpectedly, a familiar face.

"Gu Wenxing, my junior? Have you switched positions?" Wang Zijia looked at the Gu Wenxing standing in front of him and said in surprise.

The person he met was none other than Gu Wenxing who had led Wang Zijia to see Qiu Liangong for the crafting of magical tools.

This guy’s name was a bit peculiar, as it slightly deviated from the norm.

The naming conventions of each family within the sect usually followed a pattern. Ordinary disciples did not possess a character in their name until they began their cultivation journey.

There were some clans where family names switched every twenty years, and some that changed every hundred years.

The Gu family belonged to the latter. They only changed the character in their names every century.

The next generation of the Gu clan, including Gu Xuefeng, used the character ’Xue’, but this guy, despite his young age, used the character ’Wen,’ which belonged to the previous generation of the Gu family.

"Not exactly. I used to work in the Administrative Office primarily, and was just attached to the Artifact Academy. The time when I had led you to Martial Uncle Liangong was just fortuitous. " Gu Wenxing replied.

"Martial Uncle, are you here today for a change of status?"

Wang Zijia remembered the situation during his task assignment and guessed something. He nodded with a smile, saying, "Is Senior Brother Yuebai here?"

"Yes! Let me take you up there!" Gu Wenxing answered.

Wang Zijia nodded, "Thanks for your trouble."

While they spoke, they headed for the fifth floor. As soon as they reached the top, they saw a middle-aged man coming to greet them.

This man had a slightly dyed appearance, bearing a resemblance to a scholarly gentleman.

It was the Dean of the Administrative Office, Gu Yuebai, who had received the news.

Seeing Wang Zijia, the man laughed heartily and said, "If it isn’t the renowned quasi-Perfected Realm cultivator! So, you finally deigned to visit me. I was thinking I might have to send a disciple to inform you!"

Gu Yuebai, Dean of the Administrative Office, was a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Perfected Realm.

He was one of the well-known figures among the Outer Court, and one of the disciples of the Gu clan with the most potential in the past.

With strong support from the Gu clan, he had once shone brightly like Wang Zijia, breaking through to the late stage of the Perfected Realm in merely a hundred years.

After his cultivation hit a bottleneck, he began handling the affairs of the Outer Court Administrative Office. Although his fame had gradually decreased due to his low-profile development over the past hundred years or so, he still held an influential position within the Outer Court.

He was one of the true people in the Gu Family who had the greatest hope of breaking through to the Infant God stage and wielding significant influence within the Gu family.

He was among the top figures in the Outer Court. Wang Zijia had met him once before.

During the disciple recruitment event, he was the presiding officer.
