My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 80 - Alternative Genius【First Subscription

“Spend a value of 23 to enhance the Talisman Paper Making Technique!”

With Wang Zijia’s manipulation, Meng Dang, who was serious about the class and felt a bottleneck in his talisman making technique, suddenly froze.

As he listened to Wang Zijia’s explanation, a succession of realizations floated in his mind. He found answers to many questions and was suddenly enlightened, feeling quite transparent.

Wang Zijia gradually stopped instructing, and when he saw Meng Dang in a daze, he said sternly, “If not now, when will you create talismans!”

At Wang Zijia’s words, the dazed Meng Dang subconsciously opened his Sealing Spiritual Plate on the talisman making table and began crafting a talisman step by step.

Because of Wang Zijia’s action, everyone varies in their look toward Meng Dang.

Meng Dang was in a daze, as if in some strange realization. His body was moving entirely on instinct.

Amid the fluctuation of magical power, a piece of talisman paper slowly formed in front of him, stopping everyone in their tracts.

There were those who were envious, and those who were astonished. More than a few fellow students glanced covertly at Wang Zijia.

After all, Meng Dang originally lagged in understanding talisman crafting. Still, when they heard that he suddenly caught up within a month and was even touching the threshold, several people were doubtful.

Now he officially started learning the spell under everyone’s gaze. Evidently, Wang Zijia had a knack for teaching. The Small Stove Course was definitely valuable.

Meng Dang seemingly ignored everyone’s varied thoughts. He didn’t make just one and stop but continued to craft talismans unconsciously. Shocking everyone, he successfully made three talisman papers back-to-back, barely using his newfound proficiency.

‘Pop!’

It wasn’t until the fourth one, with a crisp sound, his talisman paper didn’t completely form but crumbled into scraps, that he gradually woke up.

“Thank you, Wang, for your instruction!” The moment he became conscious, he was a little bewildered. Noticing everyone looking at him with varying expressions, he immediately saluted Wang Zijia respectfully.

“It’s all on your own efforts, I didn’t contribute much!” Wang Zijia replied with a smile.

“If it wasn’t for your secret teaching and careful instruction over the month, who knows when I would have started learning the talisman technique!” Meng Dang replied earnestly and sincerely.

“Alright, let’s continue the class, don’t distract the other brothers.” Wang Zijia, his face full of smiles, gestured to stop Meng Dang’s further praise and resumed teaching.

However, the minds of the remaining seven disciples wandered elsewhere, and some were not able to concentrate.

“Alright, that’s it for today. Next week, we’ll delve a little deeper. We’ll talk about how different forms of talisman papers, such as cards, tokens, books, etc., are finally shaped to satisfy the different needs of advanced talisman masters.”

“As this is an advanced talisman paper class, it requires some fundamentals. Therefore, I request all the junior brothers to work hard and strive to get their basics right in talisman techniques within the week. If not, it’s alright if you don’t attend the next class. The class next week is optional. Participation is voluntary!”

About an hour later, Wang Zijia concluded his lecture, left a hint at some future topics, quickly packed his things, and promptly left the hall, leaving the audience in a variety of moods.

In the teaching hall, the silence lasted for a while before anyone stood up.

“Knock knock······”

“Enter!”

Wang Zijia had barely returned to his talisman creation room when someone knocked on the door. At his invitation, an ordinary-looking woman walked in hesitantly.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Wang!” she said, seeming a bit stiff.

“What brings you here, Junior Sister Xi Ling?” Wang Zijia put down his chore and asked knowingly.

Xi Ling carefully said, “I wanted to ask if there’s still room in your tutoring class. My natural talents are somewhat dull, and talisman techniques are always difficult for me to grasp. I would like to receive some guidance from you.”

At this, Wang Zijia’s smile softened. “You know about the rules and procedures, don’t you, Xi Ling?”

“Yes. I am a solitary cultivator and have no clan. I started my journey through the Grand Selection. Therefore, if I could indeed become a talisman master someday, after repaying the sect’s expenses, all other talismans, and so on, can be sold through Senior Brother’s channels.” Xi Ling seemed prepared and straightforwardly reported.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia responded with a reassuring nod, “Rest assured, all I want is to establish a trading circle with low-level disciples. I will neither depress the price nor exploit anyone. In fact, things might even sell better in the future.”

As he spoke, Wang Zijia took out a delicate jade box and carefully opened it to reveal the Wisdom Heart Pill inside.

Wang Zijia had polished its appearance, compared to his earlier hasty preparations, so now it looked considerably more presentable.

It was funny, though, that it no longer held any additional effects. It was merely an ordinary Wisdom Heart Pill now, purely offering psychological comfort, without any real secret heritage.

Xi Ling instinctively gulped. This was the legendary secret-heritage elixir. Meng Dang and Bian Yuzhe had exaggerated its wonders to the point that its reputation had even surpassed the second-grade Wisdom Spirit pill, it was now on par with the third-grade Wisdom Pill.

“First, eat it, and then I’ll teach you a secret lineage fist technique that could help you in understanding. Based on your situation, we’ll discuss your advanced study fees,” proposed Senior Brother Wang.

Upon hearing this, Xi Ling immediately took out fifty units of magic money, took the elixir from Wang Zijia, and swallowed it in one gulp.

“Follow my movements.” Wang Zijia moved to a practice room next to them and started practicing a fist technique. Xi Ling, with the effect of the Wisdom Heart Pill, started learning the fist technique.

Name: Xi Ling

Cultivation: Initial Stage of Child

Dao Cultivation: 20 Years

Spiritual Roots: Lower-grade Wood Spiritual Root (Rank 5)

Spell: Talisman Paper Making Technique (Not Yet Started 67/100)

Available Weights: 182

As Xi Ling became more engaged, Wang Zijia started reviewing her information and frowned upon seeing it.

Compared to Meng Dang, Xi Ling seemed to be lagging in both wealth and understanding. However, her exposure to various things was quite broad, which made her value even higher. She was a classic example of a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none.

To other senior brothers serving as tutors, she might be at the bottom of their class and a big concern. However, for Wang Zijia… he could help her become a small genius.

The silver-white weights held considerable value for someone like her who could quickly learn a bit of everything but had difficulty mastering any of it!
