My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 39 - Breakthrough

The moment the clay doll came in contact with Wang Zijia, Wang Zijia felt a shudder and decisively moved his body into his Sea of Consciousness. Under the illumination of the Balance Gold Light, the slight discomfort he’d just felt vanished without a trace.

At this moment, a weight slowly emerged.

Weight: Cursed evil seed

Status: being polluted

Value: 97

Description: You gossip? You actually stole this filthy thing? Young man, you should go see a psychologist. Huaxi Mental Hospital is awaiting your admission!

Wang Zijia looked at the weight, his face full of surprise and joy!

Without hesitation, he directly exchanged it for a weight in Clay Control.

Clay Control (not yet started 147/300)

In an instant, many insights about the art of Clay Control flooded his mind. Lying in the mound, Wang Zijia felt a sense of intimacy from the surrounding earth, as if it had its own life.

Excitement shone in Wang Zijia’s eyes as a small person once again hopped out of the burial mound-like hiding place and sneaked back into the backyard like a diligent bumblebee.

Value+99!

Value+102!

Value+91!

······

When Wang Zijia had run almost thirty times and completed the exchange, Wang Zijia felt a jolt in his spirit. In his Sea of Consciousness, an illusory rune slowly surfaced.

At the same time, it seemed as if he had become one with the earth. At this moment, as he lay underground, he felt as if he could hear the breath of the mountains and the pulse of the earth. His whole body felt warm and comfortable.

As if by instinct, he manipulated the Clay Control rune that had reached Great Mastery and sunk it into his Dantian.

As the rune entered the Dantian, refining his mana, there was a trace of earthy meaning in his mana. His whole body jolted, and the fluctuation of his aura naturally stepped into the Child Intermediate Stage.

Feeling the changes in his body, Wang Zijia was full of surprises.

Before he could do anything, a strange sensation came over him. His heart jumped, and as his aura fluctuated, the surrounding mud moved, hiding him underground.

In a short while, a figure rushed out of the Righteous Villa. The figure looked old, his face full of wrinkles, his hair yellow and thinning, with most of it fallen out. He looked as if he were on his deathbed.

However, his aura was not weak but rather strong. It was at the peak of the child realm, and the aura was full. He was just a step away from entering the sacrificial wine realm.

Unfortunately, he was stuck at this step. Judging by his appearance, it seemed hopeless for him in this lifetime.

The aged figure looked puzzled, investigating the surroundings of the villa for a while. After touring the graveyard in the backyard twice and not finding any problems, he frowned and re-entered the villa.

Wang Zijia, three meters under the ground, waited for more than two hours before he quietly surfaced. Then he disappeared into the night, quickly descending the mountain.

He wouldn’t continue tonight. He would wait a couple of days for the news to die down before coming back.

After all, he had already plundered most of the corpses. The urgent matter had been resolved, and he was not in a hurry for the remaining!

······

Quietly returning to the city and sneaking into his courtyard, Wang Zijia frowned at Bai Qian, who was still practicing kung fu in the courtyard. He said, “Didn’t I tell you, after I leave, you don’t need to wait for me. You can go to sleep.”

“Hmm, I can’t sleep!” Bai Qian stopped his actions and replied softly.

“Go to bed now. If you don’t rest, it will be dawn. You haven’t cultivated yet, and your body has just recovered. Don’t ruin it again!” After finishing his words, Wang Zijia turned and entered his bedroom.

“Okay!” Bai Qian’s acknowledgment and the sound of him entering the house came from behind.

Wang Zijia shook his head. This kid had seemed aloof, but after recovering, he had become a bit clingy.

······

The next morning, Wang Zijia had breakfast, prepared by Bai Qian, and went to work on time. His shift was about to change, and he would soon be working the afternoon shift.

In the morning, he was summoned by Xiang Ji again.

His predecessor had been summoned only once in several months of work. In contrast, he had only been working for a month and had already been summoned three or four times.

“Manager, you called me?” Wang Zijia, after subtly changing for a month, had lost his naivety and gained some maturity.

Xiang Ji stopped his work and looked at Wang Zijia carefully. He asked in surprise, “How did you lose so much weight?”

“I’ve been practicing some martial arts recently, and I’ve shed some weight.” Wang Zijia answered calmly, without any panic.

After all, he had been changing little by little every day, and his colleagues hadn’t noticed that much.

“Hmm, indeed you do look more energetic.” After looking at Wang Zijia for a moment, Xiang Ji added, “It’s fine to practice martial arts, just enough not to be bullied. But, you should focus on Dao cultivation and talisman techniques. Don’t waste your talent.”

“I understand!” Wang Zijia replied.

“How has your understanding of talisman techniques been recently?” Xiang Ji brought up the topic he was most concerned about.

Wang Zijia was somewhat hesitant. Now that he was at the intermediate stage of the child realm and had an entry token, he met the cultivation requirements. He could try to enter the sect, and there was a great likelihood he would be able to enter the Outer Sect directly.

However, he hadn’t decided whether to get in by himself or take the back door through the Xiang family and have a cushy life.

If he gets in by himself, he will undergo an entry trial. If he takes the backdoor, he will probably get in directly. Besides, the position and benefits should be much better by the latter, but he has to marry into the family as a condition.

“It’s still the same, no clue.” Wang Zijia, who hadn’t made a definitive decision, answered with a troubled expression.
