My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 55 - The powerful Wanyu Sect

Wang Zijia, who was left speechless by the tasks, found his attention drawn to a rather peculiar task as he surveyed his options.

Task: Demon Exorcism in the Lower World

Type: Lower World Enforcement

Time: Starts in half a year, and the duration will depend on the situation.

Danger Level: Low

Minimum Cultivation Level: Child Stage

Introduction: Because of the chaos created by Evil Cultivators, demons are running amok in the Qinglian World of our sect. We need a batch of disciples to go to the lower world and exorcise the demons. Due to the rules of the Qinglian World, Great Cultivators in the stage of Sacrificial Wine who have received the Tao will ascend, hence only disciples in the Child Stage are eligible for this task.

Details: Please check after accepting the task.

The lower world?

Did I understand it correctly?

As Wang Zijia’s thoughts flashed, he pulled out the task and asked the middle-aged man, “Senior Brother, could you please tell me what this task is…?”

“Um…” The middle-aged man looked at the task and then looked at Wang Zijia with a weird expression. “You should ignore any task that involves the lower world, Junior Brother. Nobody can accept them here.”

“Why?” Wang Zijia asked, puzzled.

“Because these are low-level worlds that are easy to control. To the sect, these worlds are top-level resources for those in the Child Stage of cultivation.” Perhaps because of the information that Wang Zijia disclosed earlier, the other party was willing to be friends and explained carefully:

“Although the sect has more than twenty small worlds within its control, such types of worlds are not that numerous. Experiencing the Tao Law in such lower-level worlds is like receiving divine aid.”

“Can you imagine, a Small Fireball Technique turning into a raging flame?

If fully comprehended, it could even cause meteors to fall, creating a terrifying scene!”

“A disciple at the child stage of cultivation who goes to such a world is similar to the big shots in the Elders’ Hall who control the world. With a simple wave of their hands, they can swallow up mountains and rivers. How impressive and amazing is that? This experience brings tremendous benefits to the understanding of the related Tao Law.”

As Wang Zijia heard the other person’s explanation, his eyes sparkled with spiritual light. Was it truly the “Lower World” as he had interpreted it?

So, what kind of sect was the Wanyu Sect?

He thought his tens of thousands of cultivation veins were already top-notch, but there were also other worlds under the control of this sect, and not just one or two!

He thought he had crossed over to a garbage world, to a third-rate sect in an out-of-the-way, desolate place, but things didn’t seem to go as he had planned!

As Wang Zijia’s thoughts ran wild, the other party glanced at the task information and continued, “This issue related to the Qinglian World isn’t a big secret in the Task Hall anymore. This is already the third time in recent years that there have been plans for lower-world cleanup. Previous disciples have reaped significant benefits.”

“That’s why all clans are watching the situation. It’s said that several schools even tried to use some precious resources ahead of time to find talented disciples. Isn’t this because of the experience gained from the previous two times? They plan to cultivate more geniuses with this opportunity.”

“So don’t think about this kind of task. Small clans, despite pooling all their resources and trying their best, might just barely grasp a quota.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia froze for a moment as he recalled the screening competition during the entrance examination to the Hundred Refining Vein.

The two chatted for a long time, but in the end, Wang Zijia couldn’t pick a target task that he could complete easily.

However, the bright side was that he was now familiar with this man, who agreed to keep an eye out for suitable tasks for him and notify him of any prospects, although it was only a verbal agreement.

…

After spending some time in the Task Hall, it was already afternoon when Wang Zijia came out. He noticed that it was almost off-duty time, so he simply decided not to go to work.

In any case, there was Assistant An Xingsheng overseeing the work, so taking one day off wouldn’t be a problem.

Wang Zijia returned to his small courtyard. Xiang Feifei was still not back; apparently, her position as an assistant did not afford her as much freedom.

Returning to his cultivation room, Wang Zijia took out the secret book “Clay Activation”.

After carefully reading it once, a familiar feeling struck him. Indeed, this technique belonged to the same category as Clay Control, and after reading it once, only the first page of the text disappeared.

“No rush, let’s take it slow!”

Having learned from his past experience, Wang Zijia knew that rushing wasn’t going to help.

So, as he did with the previous two techniques, he read it twice and then kept it away.

…

In the evening, Xiang Feifei eventually returned from work.

Wang Zijia took it upon himself to approach her and ask, “Does the Xiang family have any connections within the Task Hall?”

Having such resources—acquired through strategic marriage alliances—at his disposal, it would be foolish not to use them.

“No, most of our family connections have been accounted for, and unfortunately, we’ve lost our leverage within the Task Hall,” Xiang Feifei responded, considering the question for a moment before shaking her head: “I believe it’s been about twenty years since anyone from our family held a relevant position.”

At this point, Xiang Feifei’s gaze faltered, the decline of the Xiang family over the years clearly weighing heavily on her mind.

“That said, we do have some connections that may still be called upon to handle smaller tasks. You’re looking to take on a task?” Her gaze turned quizzical as she looked at Wang Zijia.

“Yes, I am looking to undertake some exorcism tasks…” Wang Zijia said, sharing his plans.

Xiang Feifei stared at Wang Zijia, stunned for a moment before replying, “I didn’t think the situation back in Wanyu City would have such a significant impact on you.”

Caught off guard, Wang Zijia then responded quickly, “I just thought that I should do whatever I can!”

“Fine, I understand. I’ll send out a notice asking family members to keep an eye out. They will inform you if there are suitable tasks, but this kind of task…”

Xiang Feifei trailed off, unsure of what to say.

After all, she was younger than Wang Zijia by a year. Being in the same hot-blooded phase of youth, advice to be indifferent was not something that she could give.

“As long as it doesn’t affect your cultivation progress, it should be fine. With high cultivation, you can do whatever you want, and you can save more people.” Finally, Xiang Feifei said.
