"Considering that you haven't been working for long and have made great contributions in the demon realm this time, I'm granting you special permission to wait until you recover and return to work in the human realm. You can make up for it in two days. For each day you delay, your wages for that day will be deducted," Lu Xian said coldly.
"Uh..." Wang Yao was dumbfounded. Ever since he arranged the marriage between Lü Xian and the Lion Roar Beast, he hadn't written any daily or monthly reports. How was he supposed to catch up? And he was only given two days? Was this guy Lü trying to kill him?
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You... do you have anything else to say?" Lu Xian turned to look at the fairy maiden.
"Um... well... you two can go ahead and do your work today. Could you please come again tomorrow, Fairy? Bring me... bring me the letters my friends wrote to me," Wang Yao stammered.
"Those letters..." Fairy raised an eyebrow, about to say that those letters were actually written to her, but Wang Yao was mentioned in passing, and they were not specifically for Wang Yao, so there was no need to bring them to him.
But then she saw Wang Yao give her a look, and she immediately understood. She also had some things that Wang Yao needed to do, and the two of them really needed an opportunity to discuss them privately.
"Alright, I'll come again tomorrow. Hurry up! We still need to go see the Heavenly Emperor. The investigation team has made such a great contribution; we can't just let it go like this." As she spoke, the fairy pulled Lü Xian out of the ward.
"The Heavenly Emperor works tirelessly day and night, how can I accept such a small contribution..." Lü Xian seemed quite unwilling.
After the fairy maiden and fairy Lü left, Wang Yao stayed in the ward for a while. He felt that his immortal body had regained some strength, so he slowly walked out of the ward. Outside the ward was a small balcony. He stood on the balcony and looked down. Below was a large courtyard with several old pine and cypress trees.
Several cranes were gracefully pecking at their food among the trees. Qinghe sat under a sturdy tree, watching the cranes intently. Looking around, Wang Yao couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
However, the Taiqing Immortal City General Hospital seemed to cover a vast area. Amidst the pine and cypress trees, exotic flowers and rare herbs, there were buildings of different styles and heights. Various immortals, rare birds and beasts bustled about, creating a lively scene.
Wang Yao wanted to go downstairs for a stroll, but when he looked around, he realized that he seemed to be in a small building, but there was no staircase leading down to the ward. All he could see outside was the upturned eaves of the roof, which was hanging in the air. He immediately had second thoughts.
He didn't possess any magical abilities to climb high or low, and his immortal body was extremely weak at the moment, so how could he possibly go downstairs? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel frustrated again. He could be considered a Foundation Establishment Immortal, but his methods were still incredibly clumsy.
Lu Xian criticized himself for being "opportunistic." He thought, "If I had Ao Xian's methods, I wouldn't need to bother looking for opportunities. Who doesn't like to fight back when they're not satisfied?"
Thinking about it this way, he suddenly realized that his immortal arts had reached level 30, and he should have learned four more immortal arts. In addition, he had gained 4 upgrade points, which was a great gain. He should take a good look at it. He then immersed his mind into the system.
"Tap tap tap..."
"The host's current system level is 15, merit points are 0, and points are needed to advance to the next level. Skill level is 6, skill points are 4008, and 5992 skill points are needed to advance to the next level."
"Spiritual power level 30, early stage of Foundation Establishment. Spiritual power value, requires 0 spiritual power to advance to the next level. Magic weapon level 25, mana value, requires 0 mana value to advance to the next level."
As the typewriter began to play, a system notification appeared in Wang Yao's mind.
Hmm, while I was unconscious, I didn't remember using spiritual energy to exchange for mana to upgrade my magic weapon's level. Wang Yao nodded, then upgraded his magic weapon's level to 30 as well, and then sat cross-legged on the balcony to replenish his spiritual energy.
"Tap tap tap..."
"The host's current system level is 15, merit points are 0, and points are needed to advance to the next level. Skill level is 6, skill points are 4008, and 5992 skill points are needed to advance to the next level."
"Spiritual power level 30, early stage of Foundation Establishment. Spiritual power value, requires 0 points of spiritual power to advance to the next level. Magic weapon level 30, mana value, requires 0 mana value to advance to the next level."
With his magic item reaching level 30, Wang Yao felt his red thread becoming even more vibrant, as if it had gained sentience. It used to stay quietly in his mind, but now it would often twitch, like a warhorse eager to gallop, quite restless.
Next, Wang Yao opened the system's list of immortal techniques and was surprised to find that he had added four more: Wood Release, Water Release, Fire Release, and "Flash". Wang Yao roughly knew what the Five Elements Release techniques meant, but he really had no idea what "Flash" did.
"Level 1 Blink allows you to randomly change your location within a 1-meter radius."
One meter? Wouldn't it be better to just walk? Why would I need a teleportation ability? And it costs 1500 spiritual power? Wang Yao was stunned and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He had worked so hard to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, and all he got was this kind of immortal technique. It was a total rip-off!
But he immediately noticed the plus sign after "Flash" and realized that if he added upgrade points, the range of "Flash" would probably increase. He was about to add a little to try it out when he saw the "Random" option in the description of the magic.
It seems that this "flash" cannot be selected at a specific location; it's just a random flash. If you flash well, you can catch the enemy completely off guard and escape safely. But if you flash poorly, you might end up right in the enemy's line of fire, becoming easy prey delivered to their mouth.
