Xiao Songxi nodded in satisfaction with the contract’s content and signed it without hesitation. "I’ll be in your care from now on, Lord Wang Wei."
"No problem," Wang Wei nodded. "Go and prepare for the trial. You won’t enter with the Dao Opening Sect but with the group of loose cultivators lucky enough to raise the ticket price."
The Dao Opening Sect had many people, and Wang Wei did not want others to put a target on them, meaning he wouldn’t bring Xiao Songxi or Yang Guowei directly with him. He also reckoned that other factions would do the same.
"No problem, but can I ask you for a small favor?"
"Depends on what it is."
"It’s nothing major," Xiao Songxi said. "I just wanted to know if it was possible for you to allow me to see my family in the lower dimension."
Wang Wei immediately shook his head: "Before the lock is gone and that person is dealt with, direct communication from the upper dimension to the lower is impossible."
"Is that so?" Xiao Songxi felt it was a shame, but this was not something he or anyone else could change. Wang Wei had someone take care of him while he waited for his next guest, which was Mongke, Dulgun, and three other barbarians.
"You don’t look too good. Is the injury still an issue?" Wang Wei asked.
"I may have gone a little overboard during that fight," Mongke smiled wryly, and Dulgun snorted coldly at him.
"I may be able to help," Wang Wei said. "Hold on." He pinched a few hundred acupoints in Mongke’s body, and suddenly, all the healing pills he previously took started to take effect, and his aura grew at a steady pace.
"This!" Everyone was shocked except for Wang Wei. He did not just hit random acupoints but directly affected Mongke’s [Existence] to enhance the effect of all the Existence Healing Pills he previously took. Such divine application was made easy with his newfound ability to see people’s blueprints.
"There is still time," Wang Wei said. "If you use the best Time Acceleration Array, you may be able to return to your peak before the trial."
Mongke sighed deeply, "I guess I’ll add this to the list of the things I owe you." Wang Wei just smiled.
"Let’s get back on topic," Mongke continued. "I came for the trial, especially to know whether it will be effective for pure body refiners like myself."
"The records we have said it works for body refiners, but it’s not the primary target. I guess whatever resources this trial has are mostly for Qi practitioners, and a tiny percentage are for body refiners."
"So, it won’t be a waste of my time?"
"Probably not, and even if there are no resources, it is still a place where you can cultivate normally." Experience exclusive tales on freewebnovel
"That’s true," Mongke nodded. He was on the fence about this trial, primarily due to his injuries. Now, he only saw the benefits with no disadvantages. The Barbarian Clan paid in full without using their connection with Wang Wei to ask for a discount. Mongke quickly returned to the clan to heal before promising Wang Wei they would reunite at the trial.
The next person who visited Wang Wei was Hong Meiling or his future wife’s future disciple. She came to complain that someone had looted the Origin Seal Continent’s treasury of all its Existence Healing Pills. Wang Wei promised her and the continent as many places as they wanted but ultimately decided on up to five members. Wang Wei had a few decades of peace before his next guest, allowing him to improve his injury.
’What a strange combination,’ Wang Wei thought when he saw Tong Ruobing, Mu Lei, and Yin Gen together. However, a quick reminder of their factions, and he knew why they were together. Wang Wei was about to welcome them with a smile when he noticed something.
"Don’t you have to explain yourself?"
"I knew I couldn’t hide it from you," Tong Ruobing sighed before raising her hand to release a golden light—she had a first-level Golden Body of Merit. It made sense since she was the Heavenly Queen in the lower dimension and had significantly developed Talisman Dao for the entire lower dimension. So, it was only a matter of time before she could condense this body, and with the help of her faction, this time could be accelerated.
"I didn’t know," Tong Ruobing explained. "I was enthralled by a project, and the association purposely did not tell me about the ceremony."
Wang Wei looked her in the eyes, and it seemed she was telling the truth. Regardless, he still said: "Even if I am the Chosen One, the responsibility of saving the world falls on everyone’s shoulders. I will not sacrifice my life or happiness while you lots sit and watch. Understand?"
"I understand," Tong Ruobing nodded, feeling uncomfortable that she was spoken to like a child who had made a mistake. Regardless, she understood the situation and kept quiet.
"Good, now that you are, there is a way for you to do your part," Wang Wei continued. "Where is the blood from that Abyss Creature?"
"Hmm."
