Chapter 1422  Reunions (V)

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."

"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."

"Is something wrong?"

"I've handed it to the association," Tong Ruobing responded. Wang Wei looked at her, having figured out a few things with this brief exchange. "That blood is one of the keys to our liberation, so tell your association to prepare to sacrifice it."

"Don't worry; we understand when to consider the overall situation."

"That's good. Well, for what purpose do I owe this visit? I'll tell you in advance that I will not be giving any discounts."

"I know very well how cheap you are," Tong Ruobing sneered. "I'm here about our Dao Path Tablet. Is it in your hands?"

"If you're talking about the copy I got from Blood Dragon, then yes, it's in my hands," Wang Wei nodded.

"The copy?"

"That's right."

Tong Ruobing glanced at him, unable to decipher whether he was telling the truth. "What about the original? Where is it?"

"Probably in the hands of the Southern Chu Dynasty," Wang Wei responded. "By the time the Barbarian race and I raided Shu Ren's treasury, they had already plundered a lot."

"And you expect me to believe that you — of all people — allowed them to take your treasure without fighting back?" Tong Ruobing asked.

"I didn't have a choice, did I?" Wang Wei countered. "They have the new Paragon, Jimin, as their backers, and more importantly, these bastards seem to have some connection with Great Qin. I was planning to deal with them later, but they were not exactly at the top of my priority list."

Tong Ruobing frowned at this news; it revealed much but could also be a trap since it came from this unreliable bastard. "Well, thank you for telling us this news." She decided the association needed more extreme means to locate their treasure. Ultimately, it would not matter whether it was in the hands of the Dao Opening Sect or the Great Qin Saint Court — their association was prepared to wage war to get it back.

"I'm glad I could help," Wang Wei said with a smile. "Is that all you wanted to inquire about?"

"That's it."

He nodded before focusing on the two quiet body refiners. "Long time no see, guys."

"Yes, it's been a while," Mu Lei replied, but the taciturn Yin Gen only nodded.

"More than 10,000 Yuan Epoch," Wang Wei reminisced. "Well, we can talk later — let's focus on business first. Are you guys representing the True Essence Lineage?"

"That's right."

"Hmm," Wang Wei muttered. The True Essence Lineage was created by the Body Ancestor from the Myriad Emperor World. During the Golden Ear, they were on track to become one of the Overlords, but they made a powerful enemy on the verge of annihilating them. The Body Ancestor, a peak Paragon at the time, made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his lineage by allowing them to turn his potent fleshly body into a Primal Tier Puppet. With the puppet, the lineage survived their catastrophe. However, the Body Ancestor's soul entered reincarnation, and to this day, they have never found him. Since that event, the True Essence Lineage's luck seemed to have depleted, and they never became one of the Overlords. "What brings you to see me?"

"The elders sent us to check whether this trial has any effects on pure body refiners," Mu Lei stated.

"You're the second person who asked me this question," Wang Wei replied before telling them the same thing he had told Mongke.

"If what you said is true, it may not be worth investing too much in this trial," Mu Lei commented.

"That's for you to decide," Wang Wei shrugged. "However, if you want, I can allow you to exchange the ticket with your famous Concentrated Essence Dew."

Mu Lei glanced at him. Concentrated Essence Dew was the best resource to help body refiners open the Gate of Flesh, so he understood why Wang Wei would want access to it.

"I can relay this news to the elders and let them decide," Mu Lei said.
