Chapter 420: Chapter 386 Finally getting the genius treatment!

In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

"Martial Uncle, Perfect Master Wen Zhengzi of the Inner Sect, Wen Family, is visiting!" Wang Zijia, who was dealing with various matters, was startled by the sudden arrival of An Xingsheng.

"The Wen Family? Aren’t they part of the Dao Law Court faction? What business do they have with me?" Wang Zijia asked in surprise.

"Master Wen said that he wanted to purchase a few jade talismans for the disciples of his clan. Hearing that you were in the tower, he decided to pay a visit." This was An Xingsheng’s reply.

A Pinnacle True Man personally came just to buy a few jade talismans?

It would be understandable if he were buying talismans of Infant God level, but Perfect Master level...

"Let’s go and see!" Interrupting his train of thought, Wang Zijia and An Xingsheng together welcomed the visitor.

Wen Zhengzi was a middle-aged man in his forties, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and looked ordinary.

"Senior Brother Wen came to visit White Peach Peak without giving any upfront notice, so I could prepare." Wang Zijia eagerly stepped forward and said.

Wen Zhengzi gave a slight smile and said courteously, "It’s not a big deal. I happen to be passing by and thought I’d chat with you if you are available. I hope I haven’t disturbed you."

"Senior Brother, you’re too considerate. Please come in!" Wang Zijia led the visitor into the living room, making small talk all the while.

Xu Xian and Xiang Yu immediately came forward to serve them. One served tea, and the other brought some spirit fruits.

Xiang Yu, Xiang Feifei’s cousin, was the most gifted among the disciples of the Xiang family’s current generation.

It seemed that Wen Zhengzi had indeed come for a casual visit, as he chatted with Wang Zijia about this and that.

"Junior Brother, do you plan to continue to develop the Fu Pulse path or do you intend to reap the welfare benefits of opening a new sect before joining the Inner Sect?" After chatting for a long time, Wen Zhengzi suddenly asked a different topic.

Wang Zijia paused in his tea-drinking, then gently took another sip of tea, and said, "I guess I have to do this for a few more years. After all, it would be a waste of all the efforts we have made to build it from scratch, if we stopped caring about it once the welfare is consumed."

In this western region, there were many dim and bleak new sects around the Fu Pulse, and most of them were in this situation. After all, it was by no means easy to develop a new sect.

"Is that so? I thought Junior Brother was just aiming for some welfare benefits. I was considering inviting you to attend teachings from Earth Spring Divine Monarch!" Wen Zhengzi sipped his tea and spoke regretfully.

Throughout his speech, his gaze unconsciously glanced at Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia slightly paused, then took a slow sip from his teacup.

Going to listen to lectures from the Earth Spring Divine Monarch?

Did this mean... recruitment or apprenticeship?

Was Wen Zhengzi subtly expressing that an Inner Sect God Monarch wanted to take him in as a disciple, or was attempting to sway him towards the Dao Law Court?

When he was first recruited by another sect, Wang Zijia was stunned for a moment before he replied.

He put down his teacup and, with a smile as if he hadn’t heard anything, said to Wen Zhengzi, "If the Earth Spring Martial Uncle really does have time to give a class on Inheritance Peak, you must remember to call me."

The two exchanged a mutual look amid their smiles, did not continue the topic, and tacitly returned to small talk.

After chatting idly for a half moment, Wen Zhengzi bought three jade talismans and then got up to leave.

Wang Zijia saw him to the door, and along with An Xingsheng, watched him leave without saying a word for a long while.

"Master, could it be that Perfect Master Wen is trying to sway our sect towards the Dao Law Court?" After a long while, An Xingsheng hesitantly asked.

Wang Zijia glanced back at him and said, "Do you think there’s something wrong with being a Taoist Lineage from Scripture Pavilion?"

"Uh, I was just asking." An Xingsheng stiffened at Wang Zijia’s questioning, and his heart quietly relaxed.

"Day by day, do you think I’m so thin-skinned that I need you to worry about me?"

Wang Zijia gave An Xingsheng a look, ignored him, and walked towards the building with his hands behind his back.

...

In the following days, it was as if a switch had been flipped—there were constant visitors to the door from various famous Big Shots who were in the later stages of becoming a True Perfect Master.

One after another, they all came to buy jade talismans in person, using it as a ready-made excuse for their visits.

Wang Zijia had been in the sect for two years and had made a name for himself in the Outer Court for more than a year, but he had never been courted like this before.

Nearly every day, two or three Perfect Masters from other sects visited. They came from all sects, but none from the Artifact or Fu Pulse, or the Scripture Pavilion factions.

These people had but one purpose: to get Wang Zijia to switch sects.

For the first time, Wang Zijia realized the intricate relationships within the sect.

Wang Zijia played dumb to all of these overtures, brushing them off.

Just as Yan Qimeng had said earlier, there weren’t many sects that could compete with the Scripture Pavilion in terms of welfare.

...

Time passed while he busied himself, and before he knew it, half a month had passed.

Wang Zijia dealt with the establishing of the sect on a daily basis, made jade talismans during his spare time, restored his mana, went to the Immortal God Illusion in the evenings to familiarize himself with the circle, and had to fight Xiang Feifei late into the night. He was so busy that he was constantly on his feet.

He was constantly on his feet!

He hadn’t been this busy since he Achieved Sacrificial Wine.

Meanwhile, the spiritual objects from the Upper Realm were rapidly turned into cash. Once Wang Zijia had mastered Bai Qian’s Bewildering God Pill, she started refining pills by the batch again.

As time went on, the sect development began to take shape. Only when it didn’t require him to personally oversee every matter did Wang Zijia’s life gradually return to normal.

Early one morning.

The peach forest in the entire White Peach Peak, under the cover of the Illusion Formation, began to rearrange its layout.

The disciples from the Jade Talisman sect were continually moving through the forest, bustling in and out, preparing for the ceremony.
