My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 77 - Returning to the Clan

“Your grandfather was just blaming me. Instead of letting you stay in the Sect, why did we find you a garrison task!”

“…”

As soon as Wang Zijia landed, Xiang Feifei, who had been waiting for him for a long time, got closer. With a worried face, she started babbling immediately.

Wang Zijia, who had just hopped off the Paper Kite, was taken aback. Although they had grown familiar over the past month, Wang Zijia always felt it was a bit bland. He had never seen such a concerned Xiang Feifei before today.

“It’s nothing much, just some escaped fish stirring up rumors,” Wang Zijia put on a gentle smile and replied casually.

“Phew…” Xiang Feifei let out a big sigh of relief and added, “If something happened to you, my grandfather would probably run back to the Sect to give me a beating!”

“Why didn’t you go to work today?” Wang Zijia put away the Paper Kite with a wave of his hand and changed the subject.

“I heard about the accident at your place in the early morning. My great uncle rushed to the Zhang Family after taking stock of the situation. My eldest cousin also went to the Task Hall to inquire about it. The entire family was concerned. How could I dare go to work?” Xiang Feifei walked towards the house with Wang Zijia, speaking as she moved.

The casual words made Wang Zijia pause for a second.

A family, hmm?

Seems like having a clan in this world isn’t such a bad thing!

At least they wouldn’t face a tragic situation where if one day they died in some remote corner, nobody would even ask about them.

A sudden thought crossed Wang Zijia’s mind and he said with a smile, “Then your Senior Brother advisor, who assigns lots of tasks, isn’t he going to leave you a pile of work tomorrow!”

“Even if he does, I don’t care. Ever since I started working there, that old fogy pretty much treats me like a maid. There hasn’t been a quiet day since,” said Xiang Feifei nonchalantly.

“…”

The two chatted casually, not messing around until they finished dinner, finally Wang Zijia returned to his own yard.

“Young Master, I’ve made a breakthrough in my cultivation!” It was not until this moment that Bai Qian shared her good news.

“Oh? Have you cultivated your first thread of mana already?” Wang Zijia walked into the room, turned around in surprise, and asked Bai Qian.

“Yep!” Bai Qian nodded truthfully.

“Come in!”

With these words, Wang Zijia made his way to the cultivation room.

Bai Qian differed from Wang Zijia. The reason Wang Zijia was able to cultivate mana in a day was because his former self had contemplated cultivation methods for many years. Though all those methods had been useless, once he possessed the spiritual roots, his past efforts weren’t entirely wasted.

Moreover, he was an innate sect master with hundreds of years of power, so he was able to cultivate mana very quickly.

For Bai Qian with a lower-grade spiritual root, to grasp the sense of qi and cultivate her first thread of mana in just two or three months, was extremely fast.

Both of them entered the cultivation room, and Wang Zijia had Bai Qian sit on the meditation cushion.

Next, Wang Zijia moved his mind and arrived at the sea of Bai Qian’s consciousness to begin examining the weights.

Name: Bai Qian

Cultivation level: Primary Disciple

Dao cultivation: Beginning Phase (1/2000)

Spiritual roots: Lower Grade Water Spirit Root (Fifth Class)

Spells: None

Taiji: 89

Having organized Bai Qian’s information, Wang Zijia nodded. She indeed had become a beginner now. However, her value was too low, even the Tai Chi Fist’s eighty-nine value wasn’t earned within these few months. She hadn’t taken a Wisdom Heart Pill, so there was nothing exaggerating.

In the span of two months, she had earned just six points of value. The rest, Wang Zijia moved from other miscellaneous silver-white weights without affecting her life.

Wang Zijia contemplated for a moment, looked at Bai Qian, and said, “Your talent is qualified, and you have reached the beginner stage of cultivation. You can apply to become a formal service person. In terms of welfare, there isn’t much change, but you can receive a bit more monthly pay and choose one spell or cultivation method.”

“Of course, you can also remain an unregistered service person like now, waiting until you can be promoted to the Outer Sect. At that time, you can receive an Inheritance Order and choose a secret inheritance, just like I did before. Do you have any thoughts?”

Bai Qian shook her head without hesitation and said, “Master, whatever you decide for me, as long as I can continue to serve you, I am fine with any!”

Wang Zijia fell into contemplation for a moment, and said, “You now possess a cultivation method. Although it’s incomplete, it can still be practiced at the disciple stage. You can choose to acquire a spell. Why don’t you directly receive the Medicine Extraction spell, and I will find a way to give you the Spirit Water Refining and Medicine Fusion spells.”

Over the past month, Bai Qian, who had been following Wang Zijia and learning a great deal of knowledge, was no longer a novice. Upon hearing this, she asked anxiously, “Master, you want Bai Qian to practice water method alchemy? Does Bai Qian have the talent to be an alchemist?”

She liked the path set out for her by Wang Zijia, but she feared she lacked the talent and thus wasted Wang Zijia’s efforts and resources.

After all, the Alchemy Technique is the most expensive of all techniques. Even the few basic beginner techniques are the most expensive among all techniques. Adding them together costs over two thousand seven hundred magic money.

What’s even more unfortunate is that each pill recipe is regarded as an extraordinary knowledge. In other words, pill recipes are treated the same as secret technique manuals and are sold at exorbitantly high prices.

“Don’t worry, with your master here, you will have the talent for alchemy.” Wang Zijia said proudly.

Moving on from the conversation, Bai Qian, who already had some understanding of cultivation, was well aware that her master was no ordinary monk.

However, whether she had been thoroughly demon-seeded or not, she would not seek to uncover this, because the master was all she had. Without him, there would be no Bai Qian as she was now.

“Besides, once you receive the Medicine Extraction spell, you can process medicinal materials and produce pills for martial artists. Maybe we can find a way to establish a connection with Wanyu Immortal City, and who knows, you might become self-sufficient!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Qian nodded vigorously and said, “Hmm, I will listen to the master. When the time comes, I will make money to help master cultivate!”

Wang Zijia looked at Bai Qian’s childish face, filled with seriousness, and could not help laughing. He shook his head and said, “If your master is reduced to being fed by you, he might as well just go and kill himself with a slab of tofu.”
