Chapter 384: Chapter 23: Seeing Tang Ji Again _4
“I remember retaining a few instances previously…sigh, what a pity that I can’t go out freely now, otherwise I could help you a bit.”
Wang Ba could only sigh in regret upon hearing this.
It seems like he could only rely on himself after all.
After talking for a while, Wang Ba started discussing doubts he had encountered during his Cultivation and Spirit Beast nurturing practices.
“Don’t ask me about Spirit Beast affairs, I’m just a dabbler.”
Tang Ji flatly refused to answer questions on the topic of Spirit Beasts.
However, he eagerly offered advice on Cultivation:
“This Cultivation Method isn’t compatible with you at all, you’d best change it to one that fits you.”
Wang Ba helplessly replied:
“I know it’s not suitable, but I haven’t been able to find a Cultivation Method that resonates with me.”
Tang Ji showed a reassuring smile:
“Hehe, don’t worry, once you form an association with that good tutor I recommended, they will naturally help to solve this aspect for you. For now, just make do with what you have.”
“That’s the only option I have it seems.”
Wang Ba sighed.
After chatting for a while, Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask, “May I ask, Tang, has my senior brother, Zhao Feng gone out of his closed-door training?”
“He is, of course, out now.”
Mentioning Zhao Feng, Tang Ji couldn’t help but show a look of admiration in his eyes.
“You two brothers are both uncommon talents. This Zhao Feng has now caught the eye of my sect…one of my senior brothers is preparing to take him as a disciple. He has also received many resources and recently made a breakthrough to Golden Core. Currently, he is consolidating his cultivation near the gate of the Ghost Market in the north.”
“Brother achieved the Golden Core state!?”
Wang Ba was ecstatic to hear such good news.
“Don’t rush to see him. He is currently in a consolidation phase, and if you hastily disturb him, it could hamper his cultivation. It would be better to wait a few days.”
Tang Ji advised him against it. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Hearing this, Wang Ba quickly nodded in agreement.
He understood the gravity of the situation.
However, with the thought that Zhao Feng had reached the Golden Core state, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
After chatting for an extended period, Wang Ba noticed that he had spent too much time here. Fearing that his absence would be noticed if anyone were to visit his mansion, he decided to take his leave from Tang Ji.
Knowing Wang Ba’s situation, Tang Ji didn’t force him to stay.
However, before he left, as if unconvinced, Tang Ji took out a Fragrance Plaque from his sleeve adorned with intricate designs.
“I have had this Fragrance Plaque for many years. It doesn’t have any special abilities beyond simple self-protection. Even an ordinary Golden Core wouldn’t be able to break it.”
“But don’t flaunt it excessively. Once the mana I stored within it is exhausted, it will become useless.”
Wang Ba was overjoyed and accepted Tang Ji’s gift.
Suddenly, he started to feel somewhat awkward.
Tang Ji had been a huge help to him, but he hadn’t reciprocated yet, which didn’t sit well with his character.
As for his Class II Spirit Chicken Essence, Tang Ji probably wouldn’t be interested, and he didn’t have Class III Spirit Beasts either, which Tang Ji probably wouldn’t fancy.
After some thought, Wang Ba took out a box from his Storage Ring and handed it to Tang Ji.
“Hm?”
Tang Ji was a bit mystified seeing the box.
“Tang Ji, you have helped me a lot, and there’s no way for me to repay you. I can only give you this small gift as a token of my gratitude.”
Wang Ba earnestly said.
“Gift?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Ji was taken aback, shortly followed by laughter. Waving his hand he said,
“You don’t have to do this. I will be rewarded for introducing you, receiving what I rightly deserve.”
But Wang Ba remained firm, continuing to offer the box to Tang Ji.
Tang Ji didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
An ordinary Foundation Establishment Competitor was offering a gift to him, an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul—this was indeed a refreshing experience.
After thinking for a bit, he decided it would be awkward to keep refusing so, with a wry smile, he accepted the box.
Only after seeing Tang Ji accept his gift, did Wang Ba nod with satisfaction. He said goodbye to Tang Ji, purchased some materials at the Ghost Market, had a brief chat with Shang Li, and then left the Ghost Market.
Only after Wang Ba left…
Tang Ji opened the box and was immediately stunned.
Filled in the small box were Spirit Stones. There were only about two hundred of them.
However, Tang Ji seemed shocked :
“Two hundred upper grade Spirit Stones? Did this boy manage to rob the savings of a Golden Core craftsman?!”
Two hundred upper-grade Spirit Stones were trivial to him, but he too had started from an insignificant stage of cultivation. Back when he was at the Foundation Establishment stage, he had never come across so many Spirit Stones.
Even after becoming a Golden Core Master, he had never had such wealth.
After all, Spirit Stones needed to be spent everywhere, and the higher the realm, the more one needed to expend. It was simply impossible to save up.
“This boy, casually giving two hundred upper grade Spirit Stones as a gift, must have plenty on him, isn’t he afraid I’ll rob him!”
While he said this, a smile unknowingly surfaced on Tang Ji’s face.
Despite the gift being rather vulgar, he quite liked it.
He glanced at Shang Li, who had just returned from outside.
For some reason, even though his nephew had a poker face, Tang Ji felt that he was quite happy.
However, he didn’t think much about it. After hesitating for a bit, he took out a few ore stones from his Storage Ring.
Within these stones, there were faintly visible white lines winding around resembling white dragons meandering through them.
If Wang Ba was here, he would certainly recognize this. This was the Class III spirit material, White Dragon Sulfur, that he had been desperately seeking.
