Chapter 446 - 405: Are there many Spiritual Objects in the Inheritance Teacher Circle?

Chapter 446: Chapter 405: Are there many Spiritual Objects in the Inheritance Teacher Circle?

The next morning, as usual, he got up, practiced martial arts with some ladies, and ate breakfast.

Once again, he didn’t go to the White Peach Tower. Things within the vein were already on track, and there were not many issues that needed his decision.

Therefore, it was no big deal if he didn’t go for ten days or half a month now. If there were matters that really needed him to decide, An Xingsheng would inform him.

He took out his magic tool, which transformed into a blood-colored streamer, and once again arrived at the foot of Qifeng Mountain, at the Etiquette Institute, and in Xu Yuyu’s small courtyard.

"Please notify Martial Uncle that his disciple has come to visit again!" Wang Zijia said to the female gatekeeper disciple.

Familiarity bred comfort, and without a word, the female disciple turned and went in to report his message.

However, only a moment later, she quickly returned and said, "The patriarch is still at the Central Lake Pavilion, playing the zither. You can find him there."

"Thank you!"

Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment. He had thought about giving a gift, but considering this was the Etiquette Institute, he decided to forgo the idea.

In any other institute, such a gesture might have been fine. But here at the Etiquette Institute... it’s better to give the impression of being stingy than to potentially insult someone with your gift.

The habits of the Etiquette Institute were considered refined by the entire sect, it wasn’t something that could be inflated simply by talking about!

Disciples who sought to fish for favors simply wouldn’t poke their noses into this place.

And those who did come to gain some experience would never throw their respect away for these trifles.

...

Walking through the familiar courtyard, upon reaching the lake, the familiar sound of the zither floated to his ears. Xu Yuyu seemed to have been practicing all day.

"He’s here. That little guy is here again!"

"We thought he was cute before, but now he’s just annoying!"

"Exactly, exactly, Qingling is ours. Hands off!"

"Ours!"

"But wouldn’t it be nice if Qingling had a companion?"

"You want to be a traitor?"

Wang Zijia: "..."

You’ve got to be kidding me. You guys are too...

The status of the Three Profound Qin revealed that Xu Yuyu, even after his breakthrough, had yet to completely stabilize. He would still need some time to adapt.

It seemed that his previous breakthrough to becoming an Infant God wasn’t as smooth as one might like.

As Wang Zijia’s thoughts tumbled out, Xu Yuyu once again shut the three birds into the Long Qin and lightly tapped the body of the instrument.

"Dong dong!"

A single light sound accompanied by a mild fluctuation of magical power silenced the chitters.

"What can I do for you?" After stopping the three birds, Xu Yuyu went straight to the main subject.

Wang Zijia gave him a small bow, and without beating around the bush, said: "Martial Uncle, do you have any channels or means to directly deal with goods in the Ghost Market?"

"Already found something you fancy so soon?"

Xu Yuyu was surprised as he glanced at Wang Zijia. After all, most people would usually choose to find their way around for a few days before making any transactions in such a place. With a short pause, he said,

"Here’s the deal. If you have goods to sell, pay me a visit every half a year. If you want to purchase something, give me a heads up in advance."

"I appreciate your kindness, but I’ve practiced some Space Pathway techniques to an extent. I am not capable of the Sword repairs’ Sky-breaking Escape Technique or the Intergalactic Flying Sword Messaging. But I do have a method for average long-distance travel."

While speaking, Wang Zijia turned his hand over and handed out a paper figure. "Martial uncle, you just need to help me send this to the other side."

"Paper Cutting Technique?" Xu Yuyu looked at the paper figure in Wang Zijia’s hand, shaking his head slightly, "That place is at least ten thousand miles away from our Wanyu, given your cultivation even with the paper figure as anchor, it would be hard to reach."

"Besides... except for setting up stalls, items placed in there will be regularly cleaned up. Ordinary methods can’t anchor them."

"Those who truly want to incarnate and go there mostly put their anchor items in the stalls, but the stall fee might not be affordable for you at the moment."

"I am well aware of that. But I have to give it a try. It’s better than always bothering Martial Uncle, isn’t it!" Wang Zijia didn’t argue about how effective his own methods were, he just replied as much.

Xu Yuyu gave Wang Zijia a look and said: "That’s fine. With your infamy, you are rather proud. It’s good to give it a try."

While uttering these words, he raised his hand and motioned to retain the paper figure. After examining it closely for a moment, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"This really differs greatly from your Funerary Preserving Vein’s traditional Paper Cutting Technique. Though it has a strange and cunning feeling to it, why does it feel even more so in this case?"

Wang Zijia stopped for a moment. He couldn’t think of how to respond. He surely couldn’t admit that the paper man was made from his own skin!

Giving his teasing personality, who knows how he would react!

Seeing this, Xu Yuyu didn’t ask any further.

"Dong!"

With a gentle pluck of the zither string, a strange transparent bird’s head emerged from the zither, swallowed the paper figure, and then vanished without a trace.

It seemed that Xu Yuyu was well-versed in the Space Path. It was no wonder he was able to manifest as an Infant God. Among his peers in the Sect, he was undoubtedly a standout.

After all, every monk who achieved the state of Perfected would be destined to comprehend a great deal. But a mastery of the Space Path was seldom seen below the rank of Infant God.

"Alright, it’s been sent. There will be a cleanup once a day prior to midnight. Your usual methods of stealth can’t hide it, you should try it yourself! If it doesn’t work, just follow the rules I mentioned before," Xu Yuyu said faintly, as Wang Zijia was deep in thought.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia did not linger any longer. He paid Xu Yuyu his respects and left the Central Lake Pavilion.

After leaving the courtyard, Wang Zijia rose into the air, leaving the Etiquette Institute. He hesitated for a moment, then headed towards the adjacent Administrative Office.

······

Before long, Wang Zijia arrived at the building complex of the Administrative Office and descended in front of a small courtyard.

Almost simultaneously, Gu Yuebai came out to greet him from within the courtyard. Seeing Wang Zijia, he laughed and said,

"Haha, I was just thinking whether I should pay a visit to your place in the next few days. I didn’t expect you to think of the same thing!"

"It’s my fault for not coming despite Senior Brother’s multiple invitations," Wang Zijia replied respectfully.

"Hey, didn’t I tell you not to be so formal?" Gu Yuebai made a welcoming gesture and said, "Come, let us talk inside."

Wang Zijia paid another round of respects before following Gu Yuebai into the courtyard.

Both men wished to establish good relations and hence, their conversation was very cordial.

······

"I presume Senior Brother must be preparing for the achievement of the Infant God, right?" Wang Zijia suddenly changed the topic of their casual conversation.

Gu Yuncheng, the patriarch of the Gu Family, was over eight hundred years old. The fact that he was managing the Outer Sect showed that his lifespan was nearing its end, and he urgently needed a successor. This was not unlike the situation in the Yue Family. Due to the similar circumstances in both families, frictions naturally arose between them.

Gu Yuebai was currently the most promising successor among the younger generation of the Gu Family.

He and Xu Yuyu were both around three hundred years old and were considered in the prime of their lives for Perfected individuals, who usually lived five to six hundred years.

For those with ambition to become an Infant God, it was the best time to make a breakthrough.

Upon Wang Zijia’s query, Gu Yuebai blinked but did not shy away. He said, "It will take some time. I’m not as capable as God Monarch Qingling. I need to take things slow and steady."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia fell silent, a look of hesitation crossing his face.

"Junior Brother, if you have something to say, just say it. Given your relationship with my family, what could you possibly hesitate for?" Gu Yuebai asked upon seeing Wang Zijia’s hesitance.

"Phew!" Wang Zijia took a deep breath and said, "Then, Junior Brother will take a wild guess. If it is improper, Senior Brother, please treat it as nonsense."

Seeing the seriousness on Wang Zijia’s face, Gu Yuebai also became serious and said, "Go ahead, just say it!"

Wang Zijia first repeated his previous remarks, then asked, "May I inspect the spiritual object, Senior Brother?"

At this question, Gu Yuebai’s eyebrows knitted together. Looking at Wang Zijia, he said, "Are you intending to cultivate by observing the spiritual objects? Regardless of your potential, even if you could succeed, it would be in vain after I use the spiritual object. There will be no difference between you finding the corresponding spiritual object now and decades later when you start your cultivation."

"I’m aware of that, but my cultivation base is too esoteric, so it’s difficult to find the corresponding spiritual object," Wang Zijia still used his original excuse.

After some contemplation, Gu Yuebai said, "The spiritual objects are at the Patriarch’s place. It’s not a big deal to borrow them for a look, but it ultimately depends on what the Patriarch decides. Shall I ask him about it later for you?"

Wang Zijia’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately bowed respectfully, saying, "I shall be deeply grateful!"

Gu Yuebai looked at Wang Zijia and said, "If you just want to observe the spiritual object, why not go to the Funeral Preserving Vein? With your inheritance as a pseudo-Nanfei, you could fully qualify as an inheritance master and get into their circle!"

Wang Zijia was slightly stunned, his face showing confusion.

Seeing this, Gu Yuebai shook his head with amusement and said, "Oh, come on! The Funeral Preserving Vein is closed off to us. Isn’t it strange that you, of all people, haven’t managed to get in?"

"Are there many Infant God spiritual objects in the Funeral Preserving Vein?" Wang Zijia asked, puzzled, "How come I’ve never heard of it?"

Gu Yuebai shook his head and said, "The Funeral Preserving Vein is one thing, but the inheritance masters, who are also known as Heritage Masters, surely you, as a successor of the inheritance path, know the reason, right?"

"That, I do know. The inheritance technique extracts all the extraordinary powers within the monk to condense the inheritance. To perfectly condense the inheritance magical tool or to extract secret knowledge with the inheritance technique as much as possible, the best scenario is the voluntary cooperation of the monk," Wang Zijia echoed.

Gu Yuebai looked at Wang Zijia and said, "Isn’t that the case? Usually, monks who require the assistance of inheritance masters to condense inheritances are those that are near death and are from a clan. Wouldn’t you think these monks would have prepared something for their successors?"

"Moreover, since they’ve asked you to condense the inheritance, letting you have a look at the spiritual objects doesn’t seem all that worrisome anymore. Of course, it’s better if Junior Brother, you are an inheritance master of the fourth grade or higher."

Wang Zijia was slightly taken aback; he seemed to have overlooked this aspect.

Mainly, when he had received the inheritance in the past, he had chosen the Blessed Land Rite Refining to prepare for the Hundred Demon Bewitching Domain.

"Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother!"

"Haha, what formality! It’s just that you’ve been cultivating in the Sect for too short a time. There are many things you are still not familiar with."
