Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 603 - 29 Restoration_2

Chapter 603: Chapter 29 Restoration_2

“Uncle master, stand here, yes, just like that…don’t move.”

Wang Ba gave some instructions.

Then, he pulled out a stone.

“Is this…a Shadow Capture Stone?”

Cui Daqi and Ma Shengxu recognised the stone in Wang Ba’s hand immediately.

“Yes.”

...

Wang Ba nodded and explained, “I’m going to record Uncle’s current state…then, after consuming the Phoenix-feathered chicken essence, we’ll see what changes take place, so we have a reference.”

Cui Daqi immediately understood and nodded.

Ma Shengxu, however, became nervous and hesitated, “This…this isn’t necessary, right?”

Cui Daqi gave Wang Ba a signal, then sternly told Ma Shengxu, “Wang Ba is researching spirit food recipes! This is a contribution you’re making to the research on spirit food, cooperate.”

After receiving Cui Daqi’s directive, Wang Ba immediately aimed the Shadow Capture Stone at Ma Shengxu and infused it with Mother Qi of Dharmas.

On the Shadow Capture Stone, an ethereal image appeared, clearly showing the face of Ma Shengxu. Every detail was clear, even the pores could be seen.

Wang Ba hastily drew out a special piece of paper.

He then gently pressed the Shadow Capture Stone against the paper.

In a blink of an eye, Ma Shengxu’s likeness was captured on the paper, lifelike.

Wang Ba quickly and respectfully handed the paper depicting Ma Shengxu’s figure to the man himself.

“Uncle Master, please keep this first.”

Seeing things had already developed to this point, Ma Shengxu could only accept the paper reluctantly. He glanced at the image on it and his expression was complex.

This face was both unfamiliar and incredibly familiar.

After Wang Ba achieved his goal, Cui Daqi decided to cut his losses. Taking Wang Ba with him, they left the Spirit Plant Department.

“Thank you, uncle master, for your help.”

On the way, Wang Ba couldn’t help but express his gratitude.

“It’s nothing, you just wanted to help Old Ma, it’s a good thing. However, this is not very important, and although researching spirit food is interesting, remember to prioritize your cultivation.”

Cui Daqi waved his hand and seriously warned Wang Ba.

Even though he was the Minister of the Spirit Food Department, to him, spirit food was just a minor subject. It was not as important as the cultivation base, let alone being as profound as Alchemy or Artifact Refining, which required talents to succeed in.

Although Wang Ba did not entirely agree, but seeing as it was well-intentioned advice, he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Cui Daqi did not say anything more.

Many things, when said once, are meant well, but repeating it too many times can lead to the opposite. Moreover, he had fulfilled his responsibility as an uncle master.

…

Wanfa Peak.

Looking at the ‘True Yang Wu Earth Scripture’ Jade Slip in front of him, and the earth-based spirit items and spirit materials Yao Wudi prepared for him, Wang Ba couldn’t help but frown.

“I’ve clearly entered the gate… but why can’t I cultivate?”

The ‘True Yang Wu Earth Scripture’, truly a cultivation method leading straight to Immortal Ascension, took Wang Ba nearly two years of his lifespan to just enter the gate, starting from the Qi Refining stage.

This was under the circumstance that he, as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, already had profound understanding of the Five Elements.

If an ordinary mortal with no comprehension of cultivation were to approach this method, they might not even have a hope of entering the gate in ten or twenty years.

But after entering the gate, he encountered a puzzling situation.

No matter how he tried to follow the mana circulation route of this cultivation method, he could not generate any mana.

“This shouldn’t be happening…”

In the past, he was able to commence cultivation no matter what cultivation method he entered the gate to.

But the current situation took him by surprise, and the Jade Slip also did not provide any explanation pertaining to this issue.

Suddenly, he remembered Yao Wudi taking him to Qingmu Peak and Thick Earth Peak, even humbly requesting the peak masters there to teach him.

“So, did master know about this situation in advance?”

Only now, did he vaguely understand Yao Wudi’s intentions.

“I was too arrogant in the past.”

Wang Ba shook his head slightly.

More accurately, he had trusted the Lifespan Panel too much.

But the reality made him sober up.

“A cultivator should never lose their reverence…it seems I have to go to Thick Earth Peak.”

Initially, he did not want to go.

Even though the peak master of Thick Earth Peak, Hu Zaixi, gave him a good impression, the feeling of asking for a favour was rather constraining.

But now, he had no choice but to go.

After thinking for a bit, he paced around his room and finally decided to bring some Class III spirit chicken essence as a gift for Thick Earth Peak.

Since he was asking for tuition, he must not forget about the necessary etiquette.

Besides, if he encountered someone who didn’t care about those things, it wouldn’t be a problem. But if he met a narrow-minded peak master who withheld something from him, that loss would far exceed a few Class III spirit chicken essences.

Wang Ba had calculated this well.

However, after he flew to Thick Earth Peak, he was told that Hu Zaixi was not present. Apparently he had gone to Shaoyin Mountain to prepare for the Dao-asking Conference.

“Dao-asking Conference…”

This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba fell into thought. After asking when Hu Zaixi might return, he promptly took his leave.

The Dao-asking Conference is a grand event held every 60 years in the Wanxiang Sect.

Even though he hadn’t been a part of the sect for very long, he frequently heard about it in the teahouse of the Xuanwu Market on Taiyin Mountain.

Therefore, even though he didn’t deliberately inquire about it, he had a general understanding of the Dao-asking Conference’s situation and rules.
