Chapter 600: Chapter 521: Rare Treasures

However, using shattered space as a mode of attack was a bit too advanced for Wang Zijia at the present time.

If he got hit just once with that, a catastrophic critical hit would undoubtedly occur, and he would most likely get knocked straight into a game over situation!

Only after confirming the death of the phantom did Wang Zijia cautiously approach.

At this time, the mummy started to weather and dissipate, several times slower than the normal phantoms.

It took dozens of breaths before the phantom completely disappeared.

"Gulp gulp!"

Contrary to Wang Zijia’s expectation, there was no silver light flying out from the corpse, only a small pale-yellow gourd full of cracks the size of a palm fell out from it.

On the small gourd, Wang Zijia clearly felt a potent spatial force.

He picked it up carefully, his eyes flickering with intelligence.

Item: Immature Void Treasure.

Status: Incubating

Introduction: An intriguing object that is still incubating. The incubation was interrupted prematurely, losing the possibility of becoming a unique treasure!

Huh?

Is this a rare and exotic treasure?

The legendary Breeding Method from the Four Spiritual Root Methods?

Not only does it have a special effect, but it can also incubate a unique spiritual root treasure?

Looking at the gourd, Wang Zijia paused for a moment. He instantly understood why there was no silver energy appearing.

If the previous stealth mouse was undergoing a mutation due to the erosion of time and awakening some unusual ability.

Then this thing in front of him was a special and peculiar object born from the erosion of time on an item.

If Wang Zijia hadn’t prematurely terminated it, who knows what it would have incubated after countless years.

Even, this thing could potentially grow into the Illusion Master of the still incubating Changbao State!

Of course, the premise was whether Changbao would indeed become a Mysterious Domain.

However, Wang Zijia had already cleared most of the disasters in Changbao. Now, only a few peripheral areas have not been handled. Obviously, it is impossible to give birth to a Mysterious Domain.

Looking at the item and sensing its potent spatial power, Wang Zijia was not regretful.

If it really incubated a powerful oddity, Wang Zijia might not be able to handle it.

Now it’s good, this thing is already a special treasure material!

He happily put it away and released a few dolls. He asked Nong Shaoyong:

"I have removed the disaster in your village. Do you need to make a trip back?"

"Is that possible?" Nong Shaoyong replied cautiously.

Upon seeing this, Wang Zijia simply took Nong Shaoyong back to the village, which had become ruins.

It took Nong Shaoyong quite a while to find his parents by their clothes, only to find out they had turned into skeletons and were eliminated by Wang Zijia.

"Father! Mother, your son is unfilial, your son is useless!"

Looking at Nong Shaoyong wailing in front of the corpses, Li Shengshi was silent for a while, but Wang Zijia was already used to it.

Seeing too much, his heart, which was never too warm, has completely frozen over.

He didn’t care about these things. After Li Shengshi helped him wrap up the aftermath and buried the people in the village, it was already almost nightfall.

Then, Wang Zijia brought two dolls and a turtle and soared into the sky.

······

Seven minutes later, just before the last sunset disappeared from the horizon, Wang Zijia brought his group back to Fu Hou City.

Over the past three months, as Wang Zijia keeps on providing disaster relief, and the Fu Hou City continued to send personnel to deal with it, it has become very prosperous and seemed to be the core area of Changbao.

Presumably, this is one of the reasons why it has prospered without decline for eight thousand years!

Returning to Fu Hou City, Wang Zijia settled down the dolls, then he came to the Fu Hou City core Main Street, Li Family’s royal store: Qianlong Pavilion.

At the moment, it was just after dark. The Main Street was lit with brilliant lights, bustling with people, lively, and prosperous. It was in stark contrast to the desolation three months ago.

When Wang Zijia arrived in front of the store, seeing him, the gatekeeper was startled, immediately rushed over to greet him courteously, saying, "Greetings Ninth Highness!"

Wang Zijia nodded casually without saying much and stepped into the store.

As soon as he stepped in, a familiar old man hurried over.

The old man’s name was Ma Su, he was at the peak of the Perfected realm and was the manager of the Qianlong Pavilion. He was also dispatched by the royal family, responsible for the not-so-small border area.

Of course, he has another identity, that is, a house servant of the royal Li Family.

The Li Family, as a royal relative, has many affiliated families. Unlike the ordinary Daqian clan family, some of these affiliated families are standard servants.

Of course, their status might not necessarily be low, it could even be quite high.

But the identity of the servant won’t change, it’s just that the level of cultivation varies, and the persons they serve are different.

For example, the current Ma Su and the old man who used to follow Li Shenghui were both of this kind.

Although they appear to be servants, there are countless people who would break their heads to snatch their spots.

After all, their cultivation resources are provided by the main family, and the treatment is much better than the pampered members of the Li Family.

Especially when they reach the level of God Monarch, even if they were still servants, their status would be radically different.

In reality, it was not much different from some clans cultivating guest elders, but these guest elders might not receive as much attention or resources from the main family.

However, such is not the fate of the household servants of the aristocratic families. As long as they showed enough talent, they would be thoroughly nurtured. But of course, they also surrendered certain things in return - the dignity and status of a high-achiever.

"Greetings to His Ninth Highness!" Ma Su respectfully saluted Wang Zijia. Over the past three months, Wang Zijia had given him many tasks, making Ma Su already quite familiar with him.

He had grown to greatly admire the Ninth Highness, who was deeply concerned about his country and people, and who, in Ma Su’s eyes, was like a saint.

Wang Zijia nodded his head, and asked, "Have the items I requested been approved?"

Even the Daqian Royal Clan had tasks, and Wang Zijia had taken on many tasks related to the border over the past three months, especially suppression, eviction and the like.

Moreover, he was originally tasked with defending the border and had achieved remarkable results.

Indeed, news had reached Kyoto, and hence, also reached the Alliance. It boosted the reputation of Daqian in the Immortal Alliance, so his contribution was undeniable.

Apart from these tasks, Wang Zijia only intended to apply for two Fourth-grade Dao Chapters of spells.

He had already concocted the Love Poison Pill, and to ascend to the late stage of Infant God, both the Infant God and the Rune Seed required two Dao Chapters!

"His Highness, there’s no problem with the Space Spiritual Forging Method. As a method for refining artifacts, even your contribution is enough to qualify for this Spatial Artifact Method," Ma Su paused before saying, "But the Dao Chapters related to Initiation... are really too precious. The royal family has not approved them."

Wang Zijia’s expression hardened, and he said, "Even if I gave up all my merits, it wouldn’t be enough? Is the Royal Family trying to say that a stable state is less important than a piece of Dao?"

Ma Su immediately replied, "Your Highness, please don’t be angry. Although I couldn’t obtain the Dao Chapters, I have managed to secure three similar Method Chapters instead. Once combined, they also form one Dao Chapter! It will just require more effort."

"But all of these will consume all your merits, including not only those you’ve recently earned but also the rewards for defending the border and the prize for the Nine Dragons Capture... as well as those you hadn’t claimed from your previous contributions. All would have to be cleared. Are you sure you want to make this exchange, Your Highness?"

"Are you suggesting I should keep the merits for the clan to burn incense for me?" Wang Zijia grumpily replied. "Give them all to me!"

Without further delay, Ma Su reached out and presented several precious jade boxes, which contained four secret books.

"Forging Technique: Space Spiritual Forging Method"

This Dao Chapter contained various methods for refining spatial artifacts. Refiner Masters could also use this Method to display spatial seals and spatial shift techniques.

"Daoist Technique: Divine Heart Nine Words of Initiation," "Daoist Technique: Divine Heart Nine Words of Power Transmission," "Daoist Technique: Divine Heart Nine Words of Teaching."

These three, once combined, formed the core inheritance of Daqian, the Enlightenment Path, the Seventh-grade Immortal Canon "Divine Heart Nine Words" basic Chapter: Initiation and Power Transmission Chapter!

Wang Zijia was slightly delighted after glancing at the secret books inside the box.

The Refining Method was merely a treasure.

But the Divine Heart Nine Words was the core inheritance of Daqian. He wouldn’t have been able to get it if it wasn’t for his special status.

After quickly scanning them, Wang Zijia put them away.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Ma Su advised him anxiously, "His Ninth Highness, you should go home once. Given your current status and talent, the clan should find a way to help you."

After all, people knew Wang Zijia was applying for the Dao Chapters of Initiation and Power Transmission, which was a clear sign of his impending death.

Outsiders were not aware of his Yuan Infant being Initiation Dao.

"No need, if the clan sends another message, you can directly reject it for me!" Wang Zijia paused at the door and, after leaving these words, he left without looking back.

"Alas!" Ma Su sighed as he watched Wang Zijia’s retreating figure. This had been the eighth time in the last three months that he had tried to persuade Wang Zijia, and each time he had been bluntly rejected.

It made him understand how stubborn the Ninth Highness was.

Clearly, the Ninth Highness would rather die outside than return to Kyoto.

Even if his reputation was well-known, he didn’t expect any royal family elders to personally invite him back.

They were, after all, part of the royal family. The fact they allowed him to return was already a tremendous favor!

If he had no appreciation for it, then so be it!

Other clans could act willfully, but the royal family was heartless!

Those oblivious to good advice could do as they pleased; no one would indulge them.

Of course, if you were ambitious and talented, you would naturally be noticed. However, people wouldn’t feed you. Even if you were a genius, you would need to strive for yourself.

If you don’t compete, then don’t bother being part of the royal family.

That was why many members of the Daqian Royal Clan chose to supplementarily cultivate Calculation Dao, or allow servants, guest elders and the like to cultivate Calculation Dao.

········

That night, in the underground palace of Fu Hou City.

Yes, Wang Zijia had built another underground palace. It appeared wherever he went.

However, this time, the underground palace was not built with a sinister ambiance. He had used much effort to build it in a majestic and imposing style.

The primary reason was...

Firstly, this palace might be continuously used for generations in the future!

Secondly, besides Wang Zijia, nearly two hundred young men and women now lived in the underground palace.

The youngest were eight or nine years old, and the oldest were not over thirty!

These were the disciples with top-grade spiritual roots that Wang Zijia had gathered during his rescue operations this period.

Originally, Wang Zijia thought there would only be a few dozen, but surprisingly there were close to two hundred! It was indeed an unexpected joy.
