Chapter 784: Chapter 659: Crossing the Robbery Mid-Term [Seeking Subscription, Seeking Monthly Ticket]

In the following days, the Yu Family of Sanyuan City was busy.

It was primarily because Wang Zijia, in order to avoid hassle, resolutely stayed with the Yu Family, and let them handle most of the affairs.

No one in the Yu Family had any objections. On the contrary, they were almost overjoyed.

After all, every faction that came to their door had a Crossing-Tribulation Big Shot supporting them.

Normally, the Yu Family could barely reach them, but they had to try hard to get close to them.

Now, whether they were received or not depended on the mood of their patriarch!

This status was simply incomparable to their previous one.

During this process, Wang Zijia blatantly used Yu Guangyun’s channel to announce that he was accepting commissions for imparting inheritances.

The normal limit was set above the Sixth Grade. He would also accept commissions below the Fifth Grade, but he would charge at least thirty percent.

A Heritage Master at the God Monarch Realm generally charges between ten to twenty percent, especially those with higher cultivations, who charge even less.

Because higher cultivation beings, when willing to actively cooperate, provide more exaggerated inheritances.

The number seems low, but they collect a lot of money.

So thirty percent was considered a super-high standard.

No one came to him after the message was sent out for a short time.

This was normal. A Heritage Master is the type who can afford to not take commissions for three years because they can survive off of the profits when they do.

And he was a newcomer. Even if he had backers, it still wasn’t enough.

······

The Yu Family joyfully busied themselves for most of the month. As the bustle gradually subsided, it was hard for Wang Zijia’s peaceful days to return.

However, having the Yu Family to do his bidding helped to avoid a great deal of trouble.

One early morning, Pingyang Zi from the Taiching Palace came to visit in person.

Wang Zijia went out personally, and welcomed him warmly.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yun Zhong!’’ Pingyang Zi gave a respectful salute to Wang Zijia.

Wang Zijia returned the gesture, "Greetings to you too, Fellow Daoist Pingyang. Don’t just stand there, come in and sit down."

But Pingyang Zi declined, "I can’t, I’ve been rather busy lately. Please excuse me, Daoist Yun Zhong. I came here this time to deliver the first batch of elixirs for you to review."

With this, he threw out a jade gourd.

Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment and said, "For such a matter, you didn’t need to take the trouble to come in person. You could have simply instructed a disciple to deliver it."

"If there are no problems in the future, I indeed will have my disciples deliver, but for this first batch, it seems better for me to run this errand myself, to avoid any misunderstandings or mistakes."

"Would you please take a look, Fellow Daoist, to see if the quality and types of elixirs meet your requirements?"

"If there is anything you’re not satisfied with, or if you have any special requests, just let me know, and I’ll have my people correct it immediately."

Pingyang Zi said to Wang Zijia.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia didn’t hesitate. He took out several dozens elixirs from the gourd, one of each kind.

Pingyang Zi thought Wang Zijia was going to use some special technique to check them. However, to his surprise, Wang Zijia swallowed all of them whole and then smacked his lips, as if savoring them.

Most of those were strange poisons!

Although cultivators like them don’t care about a little bit of poison, to check elixirs this way—isn’t he afraid of serious problems?

While Pingyang Zi was lost in thought, Wang Zijia seemed to finish savoring the apparent elixirs, "No problem. The elixirs Fellow Daoist brought have a rather good quality!"

"Then onwards you will bring like these . Roughly every half a month, a batch will be delivered. Without interrupting the dispensary operation of the Sect, it will probably take about half a year to complete the refining task assigned by you."

Pingyang Zi looked at Wang Zijia, "Do you have any objections about this pace? If so, I can make some minor adjustments."

Wang Zijia waved his hand and said, "No need to trouble yourself, half a year is actually quite fast."

Pingyang Zi remained slightly startled then asked, "So, shall we make it final?"

Wang Zijia affirmed with a nod, "Finalized, let’s do it this way!"

"In that case, if Fellow Daoist Yun Zhong has no other matters, I will go ahead with my other duties." Seeing that the matter was settled, Pingyang Zi got ready to leave.

Apparently, he really was quite preoccupied.

Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did you truly mean it when you mentioned earlier that you would also refine elixirs for other commissions in the future, using the current price?"

Pingyang Zi was on his way out when he paused, then replied with a full smile, "As long as it is within my range, you can come anytime. I can’t promise anything else, but I still have some influence in the East Desolate Taiqing Palace."

He didn’t fear Wang Zijia asking for favours, what he feared was Wang Zijia not asking for any.

After all, he had been preparing for his Crossing Tribulation for nearly a thousand years, and most of his resources were more or less ready.

Having one more Immortal Toolsmith around meant one more safety measure.

"Then let me thank Fellow Daoist Pingyang in advance!" Wang Zijia saluted with a smile.

"Please don’t be so polite. I might have to bother you with a lot of things in the future. If you’re this polite now, I won’t know how to bring it up later on." Pingyang Zi immediately responded.

"As long as it’s within my ability, feel free to ask!" replied Wang Zijia.

"Haha, you are indeed an agreeable person! Fellow Daoist Yun Zhong, I am determined to be your friend!" Pingyang Zi laughed heartily.

"I feel the same!" Wang Zijia replied with a smile.

Pingyang Zi didn’t linger any longer, and left with a satisfied expression and in high spirits.

······

After watching him leave, Wang Zijia looked at the jade gourd again. Instead of immediately turning around to consume the elixir, he put the gourd away.

Just like before, he absorbed various pieces of information about different areas of East Wilderness and Shen Hong sent to him by the Yu Family disciples.

Because East Wilderness was a resource point for the entire Shen Hong, and half a granary.

Although due to certain reasons, there were few High-Level Cultivators, they maintained close contact with the Central Immortal Domain and thus had an abundance of information.

Of course, based on the Yu Family’s situation, they originally couldn’t get much from each domain.

But over some time, they became acquainted with many channels, and it was easy to acquire general knowledge, insights into local culture and customs, strange anecdotes, and narrative handbooks.

Wang Zijia eagerly absorbed all these things.

Mainly because whether it was his knowledge storage or real-world experience, he was indeed lacking a lot.

Apart from the five years he spent in slumber, his total cultivation time was less than five years. For a Crossing-Tribulation Major Repair, it was just about the length of a short-term retreat.

At the same level, there was no need for monks to intentionally absorb anything. They just aged, and their experiences over thousands of years were richer than Wang Zijia’s.

Thus, he kept this habit during his years of cultivation, and hardly ever broke it.

Every day, he would take some time to read, which he considered ’slacking off’. Besides that, he would consolidate his back-up plan by storing spells and practicing.

······

In a blink of an eye, two more months passed.

On this day, a disciple from the Taiching Palace delivered another wave of elixirs.

This was the fifth delivery, providing more than half of the supplies!

After sending these people away, Wang Zijia estimated that the batch of elixirs should be plentiful.

He took the items into his Cultivation Room and informed his disciples not to disturb him, then entered the Duobao World.

He opened his gourd, and many elixirs began to pop out.

They piled up and filled half the mountain range, a spectacular sight.

Wang Zijia, having done this a couple of times before, was not at all excited. On the contrary, he found the taste of the elixirs somewhat bitter.

Probably the only person who found elixirs distasteful was him. Even the Sun Monkey from past legends never had such problem.

Suppressing his discomfort at seeing so many elixirs, Wang Zijia began to eat them all up in his usual manner.

"Value +79.86 million!"

"Value +68.13 million!"

"······"

As Wang Zijia ate, a large quantity of elixirs was converted into value units.

Wang Zijia’s cultivation level visibly increased until it reached the limit of the early stages of crossing tribulation, but he didn’t stop.

"Value +2.7 billion!"

Dao cultivation: four thousand years (4 billion / 4 billion)

Taiji: 1.3 billion

When all of the elixirs were digested and absorbed, Wang Zijia still didn’t stop cultivating.

Instead, he subtly changed his Spell and his aura began to fluctuate continuously.

Wang Zijia could distinctly feel that the breakthrough within the Tribulation Period was much harder than the minor realm breakthrough within the Primordial Spirit and Infant God Realm. It wasn’t as simple as eating and drinking water anymore.

But it wasn’t difficult either; it felt like climbing stairs at most.

Wang Zijia just made a slight effort!

"Boom! Boom!"

It was as if he had broken through some kind of limit. His body’s mana began to overflow, disappearing into every corner of his body and being absorbed completely by his Dao Body.

His Primordial Spirit and life-bound magic weapon started trembling slightly as a more refined mana was born.

In the next moment, a spiritual power vortex appeared around Wang Zijia, crazily absorbing the Spiritual Energy of the Duobao World.

To avoid overharvesting, Wang Zijia opened an outlet to the outside world, drawing in the spiritual power from a spiritual vein.

As a massive amount of spiritual power was absorbed, more refined mana was continuously created within Wang Zijia. His Dao Body also continued to deepen.

A spiritual light flickered all over his body, as if it was about to explode in the next moment.

After a long while, when all was quiet, Wang Zijia slowly opened his eyes.

Cultivation: Middle stage of Crossing Tribulation

Dao cultivation: four thousand years (4 billion / 6 billion)

Taiji: 1.3 billion

He looked at the information and then moved an idea.

[Do you want to spend 600 million value units to upgrade the Advanced Five-Grade Dao Chapter: The Ten Thousand Universes Inheritance Chapter to Great Mastery?]

"Yes!"

Taiji: 700 million

With Wang Zijia’s confirmation, and the consumption of hundreds of millions of value units, a vast amount of insights emerged within Wang Zijia’s head.

A new group of runes was quickly formed within Wang Zijia’s heart.

Without any hesitation, Wang Zijia grabbed it and stuffed it into his Primordial Spirit.

The golden weights flashed and devoured the Rune Group.

The newly born Inheritance Dao insights quickly intertwined, evolved and deepened with the previous Spell insights!

The special weights of the second Dao base never disappeared. All spells quickly integrated, and Wang Zijia’s Three Inheritances were eventually merged into his Primordial Spirit and Dao System.
