Transmigration Upgrade Specialist
Chapter 16
According to the arrangement, Zhang Wu Ji's courtyard was positioned just at the left side of the Reflecting Pagoda, with the arrangement of the 1st disciple, 3rd disciple, 5th disciple, 7th disciple, and 9th disciple. While for those that were positioned at the right side, they wo uld be the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th disciple.
With each of them having their own courtyard and land to do practice their own hobbies and profession, this answers the reason why the fourth and eighth senior brother both carries the hobbies of Literature and Martial Arts. Although the way from the west side to the east side from the Reflecting Pagoda is not far, they weren't too close either.
Passing through the training ground first, Zhang Wu Ji first noticed the seriousness of his six senior brothers and sister's new weapon, with another two human shape craters from not too far away.
"This two must be second and third senior brothers leftovers." Zhang Wu Ji looks at the accurate line and shape that describes the physical shape of the two, and suddenly an intention of making the clay model from the two craters appeared.
"I should make fun of them when I got a chance." Zhang Wu Ji left after he stops for a moment to look at the sign of battle, under the watch of the other elder disciples, and slave disciples. In the mind of every people on the training ground, all of them carries a hint of jealousy, but none dare to express their mind.
When he reaches the courtyard belonged to the forth, Zhang Wu Ji knocked the door three times, indicating that he came with a request. He waited at the door for less than five minutes before a servant came to open the door, inviting the youngest Master Senior inside to take a sit.
"Up to forth senior brother's style, everything should follow the nature, come and go with nature." Zhang Wu Ji was impressed with his fourth brother's courtyard that was arranged in a unison of flowers, plants, and fishes in the middle of his courtyard. At each of the corner, a sculpted word of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter was positioned at the four corners.
"Ninth brother, how kind of you to visit my humble courtyard! What brings you here today?" his fourth brother came out from his room immediately to greet this beloved junior of his. In fact, how can he not be this welcoming, after seeing the miraculous recovery of the seventh, the amazing weapon in his hand, and also the talent he has shown to their master?
"My fourth brother, the junior was here for an outrageous request, hope the fourth brother can help enlighten this junior!" Zhang Wu Ji bowed before his fourth senior brother, in order to obtain his approval.
"Why! Junior brother! Do not carry all these small ceremonial gestures with me, else I will not agree with calling you as my ninth brother!" he sped and stops before Zhang Wu Ji, and pull his back straight on his spine. Brothers do not bow to each other. What a good word, what a family!
"Tell me, if the fourth brother can do it, he will even take his life as the payment to fulfill junior brother's wishes!" his fourth senior brother pat at his chest as he talks.
"You look like somebody in the Martial Art side instead of Literature, fourth brother..."
"Wu Ji was thinking about getting and enlightenment from viewing the collection of arts and calligraphies you've collected after such a long time. At this moment, Wu Ji was stuck in the middle of deciphering the Bone Strengthening Art, and was trying to obtain some breakthrough from the Fist of Destruction Qi Manual," he explained his request to came here personally.
"That's it? Do not mention looking at my collections, even if you want to enter the Pavilion of Arts in the Wen Wu City is possible if you want!" his fourth brother grabbed Zhang Wu Ji's wrist as he led the junior into his specially built building for appreciating the collection of arts.
It was until they reach the building his fourth brother released his grip. Taking out a key from his waist, neck and from his butler, his fourth brother unlocked the three locks from the door, and push them open. It seems that this room was as precious as the treasure vault of the Seven Star Sect!
"Junior brother, go ahead and appreciates them. Butler Lu, please prepares the best tea for me, and prepares some high-quality fruits for us to enjoy here." his fourth brother ordered the butler to quickly prepares the refreshments and drinks while inviting Zhang Wu Ji to have a look on his collection.
When he entered, his impression of the art, literature, and calligraphy was all destroyed and renewed into a brand new sight! Unexpected to his unknowledgeable self, The appreciated art in this realm is actually... Actually!
Sculptures!
Calligraphies!
Book of Poems and Quotes!
Records of person who describes the sight and scenery he has seen in a lifetime!
And, the worst of all...
Remains of the beast, such as their bones, scales, fangs, and preserved hearts!
"Oh my god! You ruin my eyes!!!" Zhang Wu Ji felt like scratching his eyes because the tool left in the preserve jar is in fact, the reproductive organ belonged to an Inner Qi Master Beast!
"Fourth senior brother, don't you have any pictures, and scrolls of drawings?" Zhang Wu Ji asked.
"Drawings? Pictures? What was that?" he smiled and look at his lovely junior brother.
"This world really did not possess any drawings and pictures. Is that why the Ping An Continent's people only managed to reach the highest tier of Inner Qi Lord in their life?" Zhang Wu Ji theory is practically correct, but without sufficient ability, the answer to this question will not be revealed.
"No, I'm mistaken for something I saw, but the fourth brother, your collection is absolutely amazing!" Zhang Wu Ji knows that in the term of art, perhaps his senior brother might be better than him, as he was just somebody that wasn't well accustomed in this world he's living.
"Yes. All of them here worth a few million gold coins, so it was very difficult for me to keep them in the collection because too many people want them." the fourth senior brother explained. He went over to one of the books placed nicely on their shelves, and return to Zhang Wu Ji's side for him to take a look.
"Fourth senior brother, why are you bringing this book to the table?" Zhang Wu Ji believes that most of the literature records here are related to literature, there should be nothing he missed. But before his fourth senior brother managed to describe the book, his hand touches it, and a status came into his mind.
Rumor of Four Phases (Tai Yang, Shao Yin, Shao Yang, Tai Yin)
Usage 1: Enable the fusion of four phases when their compatible part is gathered
Usage 2: When holding this book, allow the user to look at the phases of all manual
Durability: 7/7
Special: Fusion Item is able to retain half of their usability. Increase the before fusion effect randomly
"Four Phases?" Zhang Wu Ji's eyes opened wide when he read the description on the item. His sudden action shock his fourth senior brother because even himself have no idea what is this secretive book with their title was missing is all about.
"Junior brother, you recognize this book?" he placed the book down before returning to the seat an ask his brother a question. With another hand, he prepared to turn the teacup for the tea butler Lu to brought into the room.
While the butler was filling the teacup, Zhang Wu Ji's attention returned to where he was. Staring at his senior brother, Zhang Wu Ji decided to ask about the identity of this mysterious book.
"The fourth brother, I'm sure the background of this book was mysterious enough for you to place them on one of the bookshelves. Tell me more about it please." Zhang Wu Ji hates to guess when he wanted a serious answer. By asking his senior brother in a straightforward manner, he awaits the answer patiently.
"This book came from our master. He said, when he read through three-quarter of the contents, it gave him the impression of an appearance of four different animals. A Lizard, a pangolin, a fox, and a crow. Taking the four of them as a guide, our master created the Four Beast Style, which gains him a nickname "Beast Equal" except his own original nickname."
"In fact, he was slightly disappointed when the style he created only contains four different styles, given the sect he was from was name Seven Star Sect, but because this Four Beast Style allowed him to step further as a cultivator, he accepted them, but kept them deep inside of his heart."
"And this book was given to me because, among all of us, I am the only one to appreciates such treasures until you came. How about you overtook the responsibility to take care of this book, and give this senior brother a time to relax instead? I'm sure master will not reprimand me for giving this to you." his fourth brother actually decided to pass him the responsibility to take care of this book.
In a way, it was inherited. For his master that was standing strong at the 59th Stage of Inner Qi Elder, it was a difficult obstacle for him to overcome the Sheng Xian Process. But because of this book was by his side when he breaking through, it becomes a treasure which was also his regret, and proudness.
And when it falls into his fourth brother's hand, he failed to decipher them. For somebody still in the power of the 6th stage of Inner Qi Fighter, understanding the book is even more difficult than trying to fly in the sky.
The Limitless WUJI produced the Delimited YOUJI,
The YOUJI is equivalent to TAIJI,
TAIJI produces two form, which we call YINYANG,
YIN-YANG produces four Phases, Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.
This knowledge was, in fact, the depth of the philosophy of Eight Symbols, which stating their origin of Limitless.
"Junior thanks fourth senior brother for the gift and he promises will sacrifice his life to protect it!" Zhang Wu Ji cupped his palm together to form a gesture of gratitude. Due to the earlier matter, he no longer feels that it was required for him to bow!
One should only kneel to his parents, his teachers, and his king! The only exception is if the kneel will buy back the dignity of a man! As for bowing, it was the same! One should only bow to his seniors, his elders, and his respected acquaintance, unless the person is respectable, the bow shall not go to the wrong people!
"I know that after this discussion, you will be heading to a seclusion training once again, it seems like you're in love with seclusion. Go. I will handle my own place when you were gone." his fourth brother smiled and gave him a reason to leave. But before he did, Zhang Wu Ji decided to make something to repaid his fourth brother's kindness.
He pointed his finger at the little metal container that used to kept the fresh tea leaves, and upgraded them. Other than that, he even purposely requested to view the jade pendant on his fourth senior brother's waist.
"Upgrade!" he secretly placed his strands of Inner Qi to upgrade the two items.
"Upgrade Success!"
Su-Le-Ya Red Soothing Flower Tea Container +5
Usage: Preserve and contain the mind-calming properties of the Red Soothing Flower Petals
Durability: 7/7
Special: Each time the tea container was refilled, instantly increase their freshness quality by 10%
"Upgrade Success!"
Cheng Family White Jade +5
Value + 2
Durability: 9/9
Special: When worn by people from Cheng Family, increase the amount of respect from his kindness by 0.5%
"Thank you, Fourth senior brother, Wu Ji will excuse himself first!" Zhang Wu Ji left the fourth courtyard as he rushes back to his own, to begin with, his seclusion training once again.
Meanwhile...
"Quickly send this two stack of Xuan Papers to the Master Senior Ninth's courtyard." the person in charge of delegating the materials to different buildings, pagodas, and courtyards is busy distributing the writing material requested by each of the significant people. And among his order, one of them belonged to Zhang Wu Ji's courtyard, requesting for two complete stacks of uncut Middle-Quality and High-Quality Xuan Paper.
Additionally, he includes another stack of material and a book that might be interesting to the Master Senior Ninth, in hope that this small gesture will bring him some profitable return. Even if they don't, what was there to lose since the person who took in your kindness is a respectable disciple of the Sect Headmaster?
With haste, the slave disciple that was assigned with the task quickly sent the material over and went pass Zhang Wu Ji whom also coincidently on his way back to his own courtyard. He noticed the disciple but did not go over to reward him for the work, because this was a part of their duties. If he ends up rewarding each of them, then how will he handle when all of them are rushing to get his orders?
He hates nuisance, especially when people are trying to do something small expecting a big return.
After the slave disciple left, Zhang Wu Ji entered his courtyard and got greeted by Tang Yuan who was busy handling these small matters while he was away. Being absent from the farm for too long, Tang Yuan accompanied him as he went to inspect the farm.
It was almost a month since he moved into this courtyard. Although Tang Yuan efficiency is high, his cultivation strength is slightly too low, with only 80 Strands of Inner Qi after training under the supplies of Qi Sensing Pill for so long. Even himself, who did not bother to cultivates too much already possess 42 strands.
"Is there a way for me to help him strengthen himself?" Zhang Wu Ji did consider about giving him the copy of the Golden Body Manual and Inner Reversal Manual, but that's mean his cultivation will stagnate instead. With no other choices, for now, he decides to inspect the farm for now, and think about the solution for later.
Since most of them were only seedlings, Zhang Wu Ji has no choice but to touch them one by one in order to inspect their kinds. His action took Tang Yuan by surprise, as he looks at how attentive is the senior master ninth towards each seedling he meticulously taking care of. Even though this action was just an act of his to inspect all of them, it brings even more respect to Tang Yuan towards his master.
"It seems that Tang Yuan planted three different kinds of plants except for the Yin Ling Fruit Tree. The Taixia Condensing Plant, the Yantai County's Mandrake Plant, and the kind Heart Grass. But I guess I need to tell him to adjust a few things first." Zhang Wu Ji already completes his inspection at each of the seedlings.
"Tang Yuan ah... The irrigation transferred too many water supply to the Yin Ling Fruit Tree's side, making water content in the soil is slightly too much, make sure you take note of that. As for the Kind Heart Grass, their maturity should be at around another one week, make sure when you harvest them, extract their essence and use them to increase the nutrient in the water before you water the plants."
"As for the dried straws, use them as tinder and burn them far from our farm, before you mix the ashes with some soil and sprinkle on the soil. Make sure you water them after you did. Especially for the Taixia Condensing Plant, make sure to cut their leaves when they begin to grow, only by giving them sufficient stress can a Taixia Condensing Plant grow up perfectly."
"Always remember, an overpampered plant is nothing different from a young master grow up with a golden spoon, they trash, but just have a better packaging. We want good quality products, not useless products." Zhang Wu Ji left after he finished his instruction.
"Wow..." Tang Yuan was impressed with the skill his master had. Only by randomly touching the leaves of the seedlings can allow him to understand which part he gave less attention. As for the two solutions, cutting the new leaves from the Taixia Condensing Plant and burning the straws from the Kind Heart Grass after extracting their juice was a completely new idea.
"Yes... Tang Yuan..." he was almost at the exit of the farm and remembered he missed out something.
"Yes, Master Senior Ninth." Tang Yuan immediately make his step to Zhang Wu Ji's side.
"I will enter seclusion training from tonight, can you help me to complete a few tasks?" Zhang Wu Ji took his own Ninth Direct Disciple Identity Plate and passed to Tang Yuan.
"Master Senior Ninth, please state the task you need me to complete." Tang Yuan grabbed the identity plate with both palms as he looks at his master for a moment.
"Try to gather two equal stacks of Southern Silk Bamboo and Yuanning's Mulberry Bark for me. Fill them into the two jars here evenly, I will need them to process my own paper." Zhang Wu Ji completed his words as he pointed at the two water jars as tall as his waist. Leaving him to process his words, Zhang Wu Ji entered his own room once more.
"Tang Yuan ah... Tang Yuan. Since being my testing rat will not hurt you in any way, I hope you won't blame me for using you like this." Zhang Wu Ji looked at the Fist of Destruction Qi Manual in his hand for a slight moment and grab a piece of Meddle-Quality Xuan Paper to begin his works.
"If this project of mine is a success, I will call this, Knowledge Unlocking!"
