Chapter 34 Free Exchange? The Sect Master Has the Ambition
"Yes!" Yao Qiufeng said proudly, "The condensation time is shorter, the production time is faster than the previous one, and it is also more resilient. I estimate that it should be helpful for writing talisman paper, so I boldly sent over a stack."
Du Cheng nodded slightly: "Senior Brother has already tried it. Using this method, the success rate of making Xuanqi Gold Paper Talismans is indeed higher. He wants more."
Yao Qiufeng's gaze shifted, and he tentatively asked, "Do we need to adjust our production volume? Do we still need to produce large quantities of the old cardboard? You know, the divine script used in that type was conceived by Master Yang, he..."
Du Cheng quickly and arrogantly interrupted him: "Senior Brother Yao, I know what you're worried about. I will report this matter to the Peak Master, who should then report it to the Sect Master. You should let Wang Yan continue making this new cardboard."
Yao Qiufeng frowned immediately: "But Wang Yan only needs to do odd jobs for one hour a day now, so he doesn't produce many new cardboard sheets. If Senior Brother Hui wants a large quantity, we can only produce a few dozen sheets a day in the short term."
"I will report to the Peak Master today. Perhaps, in a few days, the Sect Master will make a decision," Du Cheng said confidently. "I believe that Senior Brother Hui understands the implications of this matter and can afford to wait!"
"Alright!" Yao Qiufeng agreed, slightly disappointed.
……
In the early afternoon, as the weary Wang Yan was escorted out by the light of the Xi Shen Temple, he lazily basked in the afternoon sun in the grass when the outer disciple badge on his waist suddenly emitted a soft "beep".
Wang Yan pulled out the nameplate, used his back to block the still relatively strong sunlight, and then channeled his Xuan Qi into it.
Suddenly, a semi-transparent screen lit up, displaying a sect announcement written in ordinary characters.
After reading it, Wang Yan's eyes lit up.
"Wow, the sect leader actually has such great courage?"
The sect announced that all disciples at the Profound Movement Realm can exchange for the speed-type evasion divine rune combat skill that Wang Yan applied for two days ago, free of charge.
Disciples of the Profound Realm who have already redeemed this combat skill with points can apply for a refund of their points at the Divine Inscription Hall within ten days.
"By foregoing personal gain and vigorously promoting such a special case among lower-ranking disciples... is it because they're afraid these disciples won't be able to escape?"
"So, it won't be long before the sect sends out large numbers of lower-ranking disciples for training... This will likely be mandatory, and it might even be war!"
Thinking of this, Wang Yan's joyful mood turned heavy again.
Even with his late-stage Xuan Dong cultivation, he'd probably still be cannon fodder in a battle!
Unless they don't go to the front lines, they can provide support from the rear.
He left somewhat anxiously.
On his way back to his thatched hut, Wang Yan received a notification from the system about exchanging items.
"You applied for 'Fleeting Flow of Light,' which was exchanged by XXX, an outer sect disciple at the Profound Movement Realm. Your sea of consciousness has expanded by one-thousandth."
Wang Yan paused briefly in his hurried steps.
"My sea of consciousness has reached the prefecture level, but the proportion of others exchanging divine runes to assist in expansion is still one in a thousand. It hasn't decreased?"
Compared to many games where the higher the level, the less reward you get, this system is incredibly generous!
My mood has improved a little.
Even the grassy path underfoot was easier to walk on.
Subsequently, I received redemption notifications from the system.
All the exchanges were being made by disciples at the Profound Realm.
The sea of consciousness vibrated and expanded continuously.
"Unfortunately, there are fewer than nine hundred disciples in the Profound Movement Realm and Profound Breakthrough Realm combined, which is not enough to help me raise my Sea of Consciousness to the state level."
When he returned to the thatched hut, Wang Yan was in a very good mood as he walked back to his residence. Huo Erdan had also exchanged for the divine script for free and was eagerly challenging him.
"Yanzi, shall we give it a try?"
Wang Yan agreed without hesitation.
"Swish swish swish swish!"
Wang Yan quickly perked up.
The power and energy of the flowing light were released even faster.
I used to drive on two-lane gravel roads, and I was lucky if I could get 40 miles per hour.
We're driving on a four-lane asphalt road now, and wow, a little acceleration and we're already at 70 km/h!
Comfortable!
Smooth!
If this is the state-level consciousness sea, what about the prefecture-level? And the national-level?
Expectation!
Fifteen minutes later, Huo Erdan, who had been relentlessly pursued, stopped panting and said, "I... I can't take it anymore! This isn't Liu Guang, I feel like I'm being hung on a rope by light!"
Wang Yan broke out in a light sweat again, but smiled brightly: "Perhaps you should lose some weight."
After dinner, Wang Yan saw several level two and level three spirit sprouts using "Swift Light" on the road.
Some level-three spirit sprouts can cast spells faster than him.
Some were slower than him.
But regardless of their type, upon seeing Wang Yan, they would stop, smile at him in a friendly manner, bow, or extend an invitation.
Wang Yan would return the greeting or stop to spar with him.
After the competition, we chatted casually.
"Have you heard? Senior Brother Zhong Jinghuo has been selected as a disciple by Yang Linhuan, the Third Elder of the Fire Refining Peak of the Inner Sect!"
"I also heard that Zhu Siniu wanted to pay Liu Xiaoyu, who studied medicine, to help stop the itching and get rid of the sores, but Liu Xiaoyu refused several times, and the sores on his face got worse and worse!"
Seeing everyone's gloating expressions, Wang Yan smiled faintly: "When the time comes, the sore will naturally disappear."
"Wang Yan, you're amazing!"
"Everyone is amazing!"
Continue practicing your gathering skills at the gathering field, and earn three coins along the way.
"One tael is equal to ten coins, which means I can earn one tael of silver in three days."
After all, sect points cannot be exchanged for silver.
Although he had pills, he needed them for missions to save his life, and Wang Yan didn't want to sell them to other spirit sprouts now.
After finishing an hour of gathering tasks, I returned to the Temple of Divine Learning to continue writing the character "神" (divine).
After being thrown out of the ground, exhausted, he lay in the grass, gazing at the starry sky and singing that children's song.
The stars shone brightly, but the God of Literature did not come to bestow blessings.
"It seems that it only worked the first time it was expressed. Well, that's already pretty good."
He did receive a message from Jiang Linyue: "I'm very busy today, I've prepared a lot of medicine, and I don't have the energy to think of any divine inscriptions. I heard you've created a new divine inscription for condensed paper at the paper-cutting factory? Senior Brother Lu from Fire Refining Peak just said that drawing talismans with the new paper has a higher success rate and is easier than with the old paper!"
Wang Yan sat up from the bushes with considerable surprise and replied to her, "How come the stuff I made yesterday afternoon was sent to Fire Refining Peak?"
"All the talismans in the sect are made by Fire Refining Peak, led by Senior Brother Hui, who is the eldest disciple of the Third Elder!" Jiang Linyue replied shortly afterward. "Even Physician Ren's senior brother came to Senior Brother Lu to collect talismans! He also praised you, saying that you truly deserve to be called the Six-Petaled Flower of Literature, for producing such wonderful things."
"However, the Grandmaster Yang who revised the old divine script was the sect leader's junior brother. He was in the early stage of the Solidifying Yuan Realm, but his cultivation had been unable to break through for a long time. I heard that he only had a little over ten years left to live. Therefore, whether or not to adjust the ratio of the two divine scripts needs to be decided by the sect leader."
Wang Yan immediately understood and replied with a smile, "It's alright, I'm still young, I can wait."
In short, as long as the pool he was in charge of could use this new divine script to condense paper, he didn't really care whether others used it or not.
……
At the same time, the Zongzhu Peak Council Hall was as bright as day.
The middle-aged cultivator, dressed in a purple-gold robe embroidered with a four-legged cauldron, pointed at the two kinds of blank talisman papers, one new and one old, spread out on the desk in front of him, and looked at Du Xuexia, the peak master of Fire Refining Peak, with displeasure.
