Chapter 1153 Purification and Assistant
The man frowned as someone patted his shoulder forcefully. "Who is it? What are you doing?"

"Your purification is over, get up now. It's my turn!" the man said excitedly.

"It's over? So fast?" The man looked around in disbelief, then looked at Shi Jia, who smiled at him.

The man instantly became furious, jumped up from the stool, and rushed out of the treatment room without looking back.

"Hahaha~"

"Ahem, sit down quickly, is there anyone else in the back?" Shi Jia looked towards the door.

"That's all. Boss Kui only notified a hundred people today. We're at the end of the line."

Shi Jia nodded. "Okay, I understand. Sit down and let's begin the treatment."

"Ok."

Twenty minutes later, Shi Jia retrieved the sapling into his materialization space and let out a long breath. "It's over."

"So comfortable!"

"I haven't felt this comfortable in years. Master Shi Jingling is truly amazing!"

"Yes, I feel that he is more powerful than the previous spirit cleanser."

“That’s right, I think I’m about on par with Madam.”

"Ahem, don't talk nonsense. My strength is far inferior to that of Madam." Shi Jia's mind flashed back to the enormous formation from yesterday.

After bidding farewell to the group of enthusiastic people, Shi Jia returned to his dormitory and took out his drawing board and pencil to continue refining the array diagram he had recorded the day before.

Three hours later, an intricate and mysterious array appeared on the drawing paper.

Shi Jia stared at the array diagram, his tired eyes gleaming with intense light. "It's so beautiful!" When would he be able to materialize it?
A jade-green paintbrush appeared out of thin air, and Shi Jia held it, eager to try. But the next second he felt dizzy, a wave of weakness washed over him, and his limbs suddenly lost their strength.

"Gulu~"

Shi Jia was in a daze; he hadn't eaten all day!

He quickly grabbed a piece of roasted meat and wolfed it down. Only after finishing the meat did he feel much better.

"Hehe, being too focused isn't good either!" Shi Jia sighed. If it were the previous world, he would never have forgotten to eat like this, because he had a group of guards watching over him. He could just focus on his research. If he weren't so smart, he probably would have lost his self-care ability long ago.

Shi Jia felt a pang of nostalgia for her past life.

"No, I need to hire a personal assistant!" Shi Jia decided immediately. However, it was too late today, so she rested first and would talk to Madam Lan Xin tomorrow.

The next day, Mrs. Lanxin asked Aqui again, surprised, "You said he wants a personal assistant?"

“Yes, His Excellency Shi Jia said he needs a personal assistant to take care of his daily needs, and he will also be taking him to Green Jade. He asked if I could arrange that, and if not, he would hire one himself,” Aqui said.

"Go to the secret guards and choose one. Remember to ask for their opinion."

“But…” Aquitaine’s expression changed.

Madam Lan Xin waved her hand, "Shi Jia's purification ability is very special, perhaps it can help us."

"Ok."

When Shi Jia was leaving get off work that day, he received a call from his assistant and also from Lu Tianxue. "Captain? Didn't you say we had seven days off? Why are you in such a hurry all of a sudden?"

Madam Lanxin had asked him to work here for seven days, and this was only the fifth day.

“We don’t have much to do anyway, so we might as well go to the Black Zone for training. Besides, the competition is next semester, and every extra day of training might increase our chances of winning.” This is what Cheng Zi said.

That's right, all six of them have gathered, and only he is left.

"But I'm busy right now." Shi Jia hesitated, somewhat embarrassed. He was a little hesitant to speak to Madam Lan Xin; she was simply too formidable, her presence deeply impressive. He admired her from the bottom of his heart, even considering her his mentor. Shi Jia was that kind of person—he respected knowledge, and he respected those with profound learning even more.

"Busy? Busy with what? Is there anything we can help you with?" Chengzi asked.

"You can't help with purification," Shi Jia said honestly.

They really couldn't help, but, "Junior, where did you go to purify? What did you purify?" Lu Tianxue suddenly interjected.

“Um, I don’t think I mentioned that.” Shi Jia thought for a moment and said, “The reason I was able to get into Green Jade was because someone sponsored me.”

“I know,” Cheng Zi said. “Is it Madam Lan Xin?”

Shi Jia was surprised, "You knew?"

"Yes, my aunt is Cheng Ning, the admissions director."

"Oh, okay." Shi Jia nodded. "Since Chengzi knows, I'll just say it directly: I need to come back to work during my free time at school."

"Huh? What about your training from now on?"

"It's alright. My role in the team is that of a Spirit Cleanser, and I'll be doing Spirit Cleanser work when I come back to work, so don't worry about me falling behind. However, I won't miss the monthly Black Zone Hunt," Shi Jia said with a smile.

"Okay then, will you come to the training camp again?" Chengzi asked.

"Go back, we'll be done in two more days," Shi Jia explained.

“Alright, let’s go explore the dark alleys these next couple of days,” Chengzi said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Jia looked at his personal assistant, a very young boy who seemed rather unremarkable. He frowned. "Why do you have so much stagnant energy in your body?"

Upon hearing this, Jiu Shiba's lips moved slightly but he remained silent. Could he say that the crystals they used in training and the food they ate contained impure energy? Was the purpose to gradually alter their bodies?

"Let me purify it for you," Shi Jia said, gesturing for him to sit down.

Jiu Shiba did not resist, but his body trembled uncontrollably, and his heart pounded like a drum.

"Don't be nervous, it won't hurt." Shi Jia patted his shoulder, and the sapling landed on his head, its roots sinking into his brow. The sapling stretched comfortably; it felt so good.
Shi Jia glanced at the sapling with amusement, then went to tidy up the work area, took off her work clothes and hung them up, stretched, and waited for the sapling to finish purifying.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and he turned to stare intently at Jiu Shiba. "What's wrong with your body?! It's like a storage tank, yet it hasn't deteriorated!"
Jiu Shiba bit his lip to suppress the groan that was about to escape his lips, and shook his head with all his might.

"Your name is Jiu Shiba? There are ninety-seven people ahead of you? No, there should be more than that!" Shi Jia's face turned pale. How could this be!
In that instant, the towering image of Madam Lanxin in Shi Jia's mind crumbled.

Jiu Shiba's face was also deathly pale; he even looked at Shi Jia in horror, shaking his head desperately.

Shi Jia took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone, and I won't do anything reckless." There were such heartless people in my previous life, but I never expected that a kind, warm-hearted, knowledgeable, and powerful person would have such a side.

Shi Jia put away the sapling and said, "Let's stop here for today. There's too much turbid energy in your body that can't be cleared immediately. Besides, if we clear your turbid energy, your strength will probably decrease."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Jiu Shiba bowed to him, his face pale.

"You're welcome, it's just an employee benefit, but I hope you don't mind the decline in my skills," Shi Jia said with a smile.

Jiu Shiba shook his head. "I'm very willing." If given a choice, who would risk touching the turbid air? He thought for a moment and said, "We are all orphans. If it weren't for Madam, we would have starved to death long ago, and we wouldn't even have had the chance to have the turbid air enter our bodies."

"The lady has drawn many formations on us, so we will not be corrupted by the turbid energy. These formations will help us transform the turbid energy for our own use."

"The lady said that the world is becoming increasingly polluted, and sooner or later the spiritual energy will disappear, and the polluted energy will take over the world..."

"She asked each of us if we were willing to be this stepping stone..."

"We are very grateful to her for giving us a chance to survive..."

Jiu Shiba took a deep breath and looked at Shi Jia seriously, "So, Mr. Shi Jia, please don't misunderstand Madam!"

Shi Jia looked at him with complicated emotions, or rather, through him, she looked at Madam Lanxin.
