My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 51 - New Position

Knowing that Wang Zijia was usually introverted, Xiang Letian did not beat around the bush and said, “Let’s go, your roles have been assigned. I’ll show you around.”

Both men did not speak any further and followed Xiang Letian on to the Paper Kite. With the spreading of the Paper Kite’s wings, the three ascended to the sky.

Sitting atop the Paper Kite, Wang Zijia observed this thing curiously. He discovered yesterday that Paper Kites and “Climbing the Clouds” were the mainstream among the Wanyu Sect’s conventional flying magical tools; Paper Kites were even more widespread.

“Are the flying magical tools of our Wanyu Sect very popular?” asked Wang Zijia, his curiosity piqued. After all, second-grade magical tools were rare at the Wanyu Pavilion; these were for sale on the second floor, let alone flying magical tools.

Xiang Letian chuckled and shook his head, “This is not a magical tool, it’s a type of Talisman Weapon. It’s arguably a Peak First Grade. These greatly contribute to our Qifu Faction’s standing as one of the main factions in the Talisman Court.”

“Climbing the Clouds are rewards for entering the Inner Sect and are personal magical tools. Meanwhile, the majority of these Paper Kites are public transport funded by the sect, facilitating travelling and cross-factional interactions among disciples. Considering how vast the Wanyu Sect is, without decent transport, every faction would be isolated.”

“Of course, our Qifu Faction, being the main family of the Paper Kites, does receive some privileges. Many brothers in our faction will have one to themselves. You, Brother-in-Law, should have one after a while.”

Hearing this, Wang Zijia was a little speechless.

This was a flight bus?

And the Qifu Faction even got office-exclusive flying cars?

Ha, why do I as a stranger in this world always feel inferior to the locals?

The Paper Kite wasn’t very fast; if “Climbing the Clouds” was comparable to a helicopter, then the Paper Kite was more or less like a car with a speed of around a hundred meters per second. It was very stable, but it lacked the “Climbing the Clouds” wind-resistant setup, making it a windbag at high speeds.

Though with their cultivation base, such a speed was not troubling. It was instead as relaxing as the breeze in a convertible.

After a while, the three landed in an area filled with quite classical-style pavilions in a courtyard.

“Since you, Junior Brother, have accomplished minor achievements in talisman paper making and even started creating talismans, you can assume an official position in our faction directly without starting off as an assistant,” said Xiang Letian as he guided them to a bigger courtyard and continued:

“Thus, the clan went out of its way to utilize its influence yesterday and arranged for you to be posted at the Fu Tower. Though it’s a traditional place for talisman making, we are a major pulse of the Talisman Court, so it’s a fairly good place in our Qifu Faction. ”

“Plus, you were not cultivated by the sect but rather funded by the clan, so you don’t need to shoulder much responsibility. That’s why your job is relaxing…”

Wang Zijia entered the classical courtyard as directed by Xiang Letian. By the time they arrived at a bigger courtyard, a middle-level Child Stage disciple had already been waiting for a while.

“Greetings, Brother Xiang.” The disciple first greeted Xiang Letian and then turned to Wang Zijia, saying warmly, “You must be Brother Wang. I’m An Xingsheng, responsible for assisting you from today.”

Feeling somewhat baffled, Wang Zijia was not entirely clear about his role.

“He’s your assistant who will help you out with everything,” explained Xiang Letian.

“That includes daily life affairs!” An Xingsheng added, smiling.

“Uh…” said Wang Zijia ambiguously.

“Greetings, Brother!” At that moment, they entered the courtyard and about eight or nine disciples greeted Wang Zijia. This left Wang Zijia even more confused.

“These are the junior brothers you’ll be mentoring while creating talismans,” Xiang Letian explained.

“Mentoring?” Wang Zijia was somewhat confused.

As Xiang Letian guided him around while An Xingsheng provided additional information, Wang Zijia gradually understood his role.

His job was quite simple. He was to create talismans, not mass-produced for the sect’s benefit, though.

He had a few junior brothers under him; although they were still pondering over the Talisman Technique, and were being cultivated by the sect, he was one of the resources offered to these disciples by the sect.

Wang Zijia’s job was to provide some guidance to them while creating talismans every day.

Once they got the hang of the Talisman Technique and started repaying their cultivation loans by creating talismans on behalf of the sect, they would, after acquiring enough working experience, start guiding novices like Wang Zijia.

It felt something like med students in his previous life!

The only difference was that, due to the influence of the Xiang family and the absence of a cultivation loan, Wang Zijia had skipped the stages of being an “apprentice” and working on an assembly line. He started from the third level, which was quite a shortcut.

His salary remained low, only fifteen Dao Kung or fifteen Magic Money per month. Yet the perks were vastly different.

From about half a day’s familiarization, Wang Zijia found that the group of people under him had turned into a bunch of free laborers, ready to be ordered around.

The spiritual materials provided by the sect for these disciples to practice the Talisman Technique could also be “reasonably adjusted” by him. There was a certain quota for the teaching resources distributed.

After half a day’s familiarization, he could already see a bunch of beneficial opportunities.

Of course, although the sect’s requirement for the number of created talismans was not high and left to his own devices, the learning progress of his junior brothers was indicative of his work performance.

And this performance was quite crucial. There was an assessment every six months, which determined the control over various resources for the next six months.

It was like professors who managed projects and guided graduate students at a research institute!
