Chapter 494: Chapter 1 Sect_1

Second Layer of Linglong Ghost Market.

In a side hall inside the Baiwen Tower.

Wang Ba was sitting cross-legged on a futon.

Across him on another futon, sat the shadow of an elderly man who Wang Ba had met before.

Yet at this moment, the spectral elder was lightly closing his eyes, stroking the head of a golden ape in front of him.

Tang Ji stood respectfully to the side.

However, Yao Wudi was standing next to Wang Ba, casually leaning forward, looking at the old man impatiently and said:

“I say, Martial Uncle, it’s just to check an ape, why is it taking so long?”

The spectral elder heard this and sharply opened his eyes immediately.

At this point, Wang Ba, seated across, felt as if he saw infinite stars and moons within this pair of eyes…

The elder stared at Yao Wudi unsatisfied, and then looked at Wang Ba, a hint of appreciation flashed across his eyes:

“Not bad. The track of this spirit beast’s promotion indeed corresponds largely to the effects that could be produced by the recipe you provided.”

“To have nurtured a lower-grade Class II Mountain Moving Ape to a Class III, even to the extent that it had mastered the minor divine power of Demonic Ape Transformation using these inferior spirit materials, in a barren place like Yan State! Very good! Very impressive indeed!”

“You already meet the requirements to access the third layer of the Ghost Market and the requirements to join my Sect…”

Hearing the old man’s praise, Yao Wudi immediately showed an pleased smile, feeling even more satisfying than being praised himself.

Tang Ji, standing at the side, also exposed a look of expectation on his face.

He had personally verified Wang Ba’s talent for nurturing spirit beasts, and there was not a shred of doubt about this outcome.

And Wang Ba also let out a sigh of relief.

Though he was confident, he was still somewhat apprehensive.

However, the old man’s words did not end there, he looked at Wang Ba, smiled and said:

“Your talent in The Way of Beast Tamer is very good, are you interested in joining us? After you pass the assessment for joining the Sect, I can recommend you a good teacher who excels in The Way of Beast Tamer… amongst the Nascent Soul practitioners in our Sect, no one surpasses him…”

“Stop!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi’s face changed immediately, he promptly stepped in front of Wang Ba:

“Martial Uncle Du, he is my disciple! I have already decided, you mustn’t come over and… dig into me… my side of the field!”

“You?”

The spectral old man sneered, glanced at him upon hearing this:

“With your brain full of muscles, do you know what the ‘Way of Beast Tamer’ is?”

“Do you know the effects of these spirit materials? Do you know how to teach spirit beasts to use spells? Can you identify the blood vessels within a spirit beast?”

“Handing over a promising talent like him to you, it’s simply wasting good resources!”

“Moreover, you can barely afford your own cultivation, how can you provide for your disciple?”

“Are you trying to delay his progress?”

“Move on, this has nothing to do with you.”

The old man’s words were one string of rejections after another.

Listening to the phrase ‘delaying his progress’, Yao Wudi, who was about to argue, suddenly paused, his face instantly coloring with hesitation.

After finishing his words, the old man again looked at Wang Ba with a friendly smile:

“I’ve heard about you from Tang Ji before. You have a gentle disposition, even after experiencing a lot, you are not prone to changing your nature, passing our Sect’s examination should be a piece of cake. When that time comes, I will let Qi Yan come for you. He is my disciple and, the one I was talking about, who has mastered The Way of Beast Tamer at the Nascent Soul stage.”

“He had been busy cultivating in the past, and has never taken a direct disciple. If you become his disciple, you can probably become a direct disciple in a hundred years.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi immediately looked at Wang Ba.

However, to his surprise, Wang Ba, sitting on the futon, did not hesitate at all. He immediately refused with an apologetic tone:

“Thank you for your appreciation, elder, but I have already taken Senior Yao as my master. Once a master, always a master. For a disciple, how can one just simply change sides?”

Upon hearing this, Yao Wudi was overjoyed.

His look at Wang Ba was even more approving and jubilant.

On the other hand, upon hearing the old man’s words, Tang Ji’s face turned peculiar.

The spectral elder was taken aback upon hearing this. He looked at Wang Ba from the corner of his eye, and then couldn’t help but urge:

“Maybe I didn’t make it clear. Your talent lies in beast taming, and you are at the stage of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. If you follow Qi Yan in cultivation, the chance of achieving the Nascent Soul stage by the way of Beast Tamer is quite high. You may even ascend to Immortal Ascension. But if you follow Yao, attaining even the Golden Core stage would be challenging!”

“Don’t think that I am exaggerating. Do you know how hard the ‘Dao of Dharmas’ that Yao is practicing is?”

“‘All Dharmas Are Me, All Dharmas Are Not Me’, sounds cool, but the time and resources it demands are unimaginable. To say nothing else, Yao Wudi is currently the highest stage practitioner of his lineage. None has surpassed him, and none has caught up!”

“Why? Because many cultivators who embark on this path die of old age before they can even establish their foundation.”

“Their talent may not be much worse than yours.”

“Don’t be trapped by the worldly thought of your master-disciple relationship and go astray!”

“A vast amount of resources… Time?”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

Yao Wudi quickly noticed the change and his heart instantly tightened.

Upon seeing this, the spectral elder seized the opportunity to drive the nail home: “That’s right. The Dao of Dharmas might be achievable, but that would have been possible only countless ages ago when the world was still complete. Now, with the world in decay, the Dao of Dharmas can only reach the Nascent Soul stage at a limit. Yao, though he proclaimed himself invincible, you can ask him to challenge a practitioner who has achieved spiritual transformation? Know this, realm is everything!”</p
