'Er... A facial modification mask?'
'Ha, no wonder that guy looks seven or eight points similar even after removing the mask.'
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" The middle-aged scholar asked Wang Zijia, who was silent for a moment.
"There are quite a few things I want to ask, unfortunately, I am short on cash." Wang Zijia replied with a bitter smile.
"Then there's nothing we can do. We do the information business, and we don't allow overdue accounts." The middle-aged scholar washed his hands and was outspoken.
Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia stood up and left the room. After Wang Zijia left, the middle-aged scholar entered the back door indifferently, without showing any intention to continue investigating Wang Zijia, both were strangers once they parted.
After leaving the Wentian Pavilion, Wang Zijia touched his money bag and smiled bitterly.
Well, there are only three coins left now. It is impossible to conserve any more. We can only think of ways to make more money. As for salaries, one gold coin per month, depending on this to live is not a problem.
After all, one magic money can be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold. Even in Wanyu City, living supplies for ordinary people are very expensive, but it is more than enough for daily consumption.
But to rely on this salary to work out thousands of years of internal strength, or to buy a blend pill, hehe... forget it!
...
After thinking for a while, Wang Zijia turned around and came to the Wanyu Pavilion store.
"Why are you here? Isn't it your day off today?" The person replacing Wang Zijia on duty in the work area, who was also on duty in the warehouse, saw Wang Zijia coming to the warehouse and asked.
"Um, I came to get some things."
Wang Zijia exchanged a few words with him and then went to the warehouse on his own.
This was his responsibility, after all, and he had been on duty for several months and was quite familiar with it.
He picked up a box and quickly passed through rows of containers. Finally, he took some things from a row of containers and walked out.
He nodded to his colleague on duty. The other party saw that Wang Zijia had no intention of showing him, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Because it was the warehouse keeper's day off, this person on duty didn't know him very well.
Wang Zijia carried the box to the door of the warehouse and found the manager to claim his items.
"Uh... materials for talisman refinement? Have you started your cultivation?"
Although the manager was a monk, he was just a primary disciple. Wang Zijia didn't know whether he had practiced spells or not, but he definitely hadn't practiced pupil surgery.
Plus, Wang Zijia's Hidden Shadow skill had a stealth effect and he was in the congenital realm, so the other party didn't recognize that he was a congenital martial artist.
Wang Zijia showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, with the greenness of a teenager, he said, "Just messing around!"
The manager took a serious look at Wang Zijia and said: "Ten pieces of spiritual materials, one magic money. Basic production tools, one magic money. Well, if you really master the talisman paper making technique, you can also apply for sponsorship from the door."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm just messing around." Wang Zijia said, giving him two magic money.
"Do you want me to find you twenty taels of gold?" the manager asked.
"No need, I will save the discount for later use!" Wang Zijia answered, shaking his head.
"Okay!"
Neither of them was very familiar with the other, so they didn't talk much. Wang Zijia took his things and left the shop through the back door.
...
After returning home, Wang Zijia entered the secret room again and skillfully took out a small box from the dark grid.
He opened the box and took out "Talisman Master Introduction: Talisman Paper, Talisman Card Production Technique". As a basic low-level technique, the original owner had studied it for a long time, ultimately concluding that he had no spiritual roots at all.
Wang Zijia took out the spell book and began to carefully skim through it.
As soon as he started reading, Wang Zijia felt a difference from the previous browsing. Previously, although the book was flashing with spiritual light, there was no movement afterwards.
But now with his flipping, the characters in the book seemed to come alive, constantly jumping up and down, and Wang Zijia's whole mind was immersed in them.
In a daze, the words on the book seemed to turn into spiritual light and flew into his brain.
When Wang Zijia came back to his senses, he was dumbstruck to find that the book, which was still in pretty good shape, had completely changed.
Not only had it lost all its spirituality, but it also lacked any text. The entire book's paper had also become extremely poor, as if it had been made of inferior grass paper and would crumble into dust at any moment.
On the contrary, in his mind, the things he couldn't remember no matter how hard he tried before, were now completely memorized, not forgetting a single word.
Wang Zijia's mind moved slightly, and he immediately entered the Sea of Consciousness.
The golden Balanced Scale was flashing slightly, and a new silver phantom-like weight was coalescing.
Weight: Talisman Paper Making Technique
Level: First Grade Elementary Technique.
State: Not Yet Started
Value: 10
Introduction: The most basic beginner technique for monks. Learn this technique, you can produce the talisman paper and talisman cards needed by Talisman Master. The current state is Not Yet Started, the success rate is random!
Note: The state of the technique is divided into Beginner, Proficient, minor accomplishment, and Great Mastery. Different states have different success rates.
As expected of a spell, just memorized, without any cultivation experience, it has a value of ten points.
It seems that this thing will be the main object of his money-making in the future.
After sensing the weight, it seems that a hundred points of value could let his technique directly enter the beginner level.
While thinking, Wang Zijia looked at the other experience weights.
"Dragon Short Knife Nineteen Slash", "Qianying Skill Realm", "Talisman Shop Miscellaneous Duties"...
The original owner's, his own, all the experience weights added up had already exceeded one hundred in value. If all added up, even reaching one hundred and ten or nearly one hundred and twenty.
With the previous lesson in mind, Wang Zijia didn't exchange it all in one go.
Instead, he separated each of the weights, especially "Dragon Short Knife Nineteen Slash", Wang Zijia found that this weight, at least six points of value need to be left. If it is less than this number, the martial art that was originally deduced to be the nineteen slash would regress, turning into eighteen slash, or even receding to the thirteen slash state.
This would seriously affect his strength, clearly, he could not do this.
Therefore, after messing around for a while, Wang Zijia finally managed to gather ninety-one points in value. The rest can't be exchanged casually, to avoid affecting his life.
Immediately, he waved his hand and threw all these weights into the Balanced Scale.
When a newly born large weight merged with the technique weight in his hand, Wang Zijia was stunned.
A familiar feeling came over him, as Wang Zijia felt himself turning into a talisman paper maker, studying and producing talisman paper day after day.
After who knows how many years, one day, he suddenly had a moment of insight. Everything he had learned was integrated, and he completely became a beginner.
