My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange

Chapter 589: 513

Being sealed in a piece of paper by Wang Zijia for a day was equivalent to being tied and hung on his person.

While the manifestation may differ, the essence was largely the same. Even with the cultivation level of a child, Li Shengshi still felt uncomfortable all over his body.

"Eat something, rest tonight, and continue tomorrow!" Wang Zijia said indifferently. The cultivation levels of both the turtle and the child were low, especially as Li Shengshi found long-term fasting difficult to achieve.

"Ninth Brother, what are we doing, why don’t we go straight back to Kyoto?" Li Shengshi questioned, unable to understand the situation.

Wang Zijia glanced at him and said indifferently, "I explored around today and found a Mysterious Domain forming here. Unless we catch the Illusion Master, once it matures, it will wreak havoc, causing lives to be lost and bringing total destruction."

"Given the current critical situation between the Alliance and Devil Gate, it might be difficult to call for advanced reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Li Shengshi stared at Wang Zijia, speechless. His lips moved as if to say something, but all he could muster was, "Could we tag along tomorrow? Being sealed like this is too uncomfortable!"

Wang Zijia looked at Li Shengshi and shook his head. "No, you saw the ghosts that appeared today due to the pollution from the Mysterious Domain. They’re too fast. I can barely keep up. If you two aren’t careful, you wouldn’t even have time to react before they kill you."

Li Shengshi was once again lost for words.

Wang Zijia paused and said, "Tomorrow, I’ll seal your senses as well. That should ease your discomfort a bit."

With no way to use the spatial capabilities of the Blessed Land, he had no choice but to keep them near him.

As for hiding them somewhere else?

What a joke!

He didn’t know when he would have to leave. Those two had obvious complex identities. He still hoped to build a good relationship with them and make some arrangements for the future.

With such a good opportunity, wouldn’t it be ridiculous to hide them away instead of building connections?

Absurd!

······

In his train of thought, Wang Zijia suddenly stirred his mana, and an Illusory Talisman emerged, flying in front of Li Shengshi.

"Ninth Brother, what is this?" Li Shengshi asked, puzzled.

"A special secret technique that allows you to prematurely step into Dao Foundation. It won’t affect your root and you can slowly condense Dao Foundation afterward. If we had spiritual objects, you could even make a breakthrough on the spot." Wang Zijia explained.

"The Pseudo Pill Art of the Golden Pill Path? Is there one for the Sacrificial Wine stage, too?" Li Shengshi asked excitedly.

Wang Zijia nodded. "Yes, it’s similar to the ancient Pseudo Pill Art of the Golden Pill Path. When you use it, you might feel a strange foreign power invading you. Don’t worry, that’s my mana!"

The Jade Disk of Dao Law embedded within the talisman would be unnoticeable, even during the Tribulation Stage, provided that a Tao Fruit was present. After all, he would actively refine it.

But without the aid of a Tao Fruit’s power, one should still be somewhat aware.

After all, to transform a person into a version of oneself is no simple feat!

······

Upon hearing his words, Li Shengshi didn’t hesitate at all, immediately accepting the talisman.

Setting aside their already good relationship, if it wasn’t for Wang Zijia, he would’ve died many times over already.

With Wang Zijia’s help, Li Shengshi managed to advance to the Sacrificial Wine stage within only a quarter of an hour.

However, since he couldn’t exchange positions nor did he have any spiritual objects, he still needed to fortify his own Dao Foundation afterward.

"Daddy, I’m hungry!" After Li Shengshi successfully stabilized his cultivation, the little milk turtle cried out, her voice sweet and childish.

Wang Zijia instinctively stretched out his hand to touch the little milk turtle, who was hanging onto his arm.

Turning his hand, he pulled out a few fine second-grade spiritual objects, all of them water-elemental.

The little milk turtle’s eyes lit up. She scampered over to Wang Zijia’s palm, squatted there, and started eating.

While eating, she said with her face full of satisfaction, "Delicious, daddy is the best!"

Wang Zijia smiled and stretched out his hand, patting its skull, small as a pigeon egg and as smooth as white jade.

Compared to Li Shengshi, the little milk turtle was someone Wang Zijia wanted to raise properly no matter what. After all, the Turtle Spirit Patriarch from over seven thousand years ago was still alive!

As a peak infant god, he wasn’t as impressive as a patriarch who had held sway over a clan for over seven thousand years.

If Wang Zijia could pull out all the stops for him, the accumulation over the course of thousands of years was not to be trifled with.

You must know, god monarchs, though they may live a thousand years.

Infant gods, however, only had a lifespan of about a thousand to a thousand five hundred years.

Primordial Spirits had a lifespan beginning at two thousand years, culminating at about three to four thousand years at most.

Only those who achieved the Crossing Tribulation Major Repair status had a lifespan that ranged from five thousand to ten thousand years.

If one did not become immortal, their lifespan would not exceed ten thousand years! This was the limitation of the human race as a short-life species.

But this little fellow was a long-life species, having ten times the lifespan of humans. An infant god could have a lifespan of ten thousand years!

It can be said that even if the mission failed, as long as he raised this little guy well, he would profit from this expedition!

As he contemplated, seeing the little milk turtle eating while enjoying Wang Zijia’s petting, a blissful expression on her face, Wang Zijia smiled fondly.

"Ninth Brother, can I touch her too?" Li Shengshi, who was also eating something, asked eagerly, his eyes sparkling.

"No, no smelly big brother! I hate smelly big brother!" The little milk turtle instantly retorted in a childishly fierce manner.

"Why are you so stingy!" Li Shengshi instantly looked dejected.

"Hmm, mommy said, eggs are fragile. Smelly big brother even dropped me! Big brother is bad!" The little milk turtle continued eating while talking.

"What are you talking about, you were a dragon egg before, my previous cultivation level couldn’t even break you with a hammer, much less by dropping you. And you should call me uncle!" Li Shengshi scolded, looking incredibly grown-up.
