Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 570 - 22_2

Chapter 570: Chapter 22_2

“There’s always a way to solve Martial Uncle’s problem… as long as Martial Uncle is willing.”

The statement wasn’t made with resounding conviction.

Yet, the determination and firm will it contained could be clearly felt by the cultivators present, who all had a much higher cultivation base than Wang Ba.

This was not just mere empty words made for the sake of appearances.

All present couldn’t help but be moved by it.

Even the old farmer, at that moment, was rendered speechless.

Cui Daqi couldn’t help but glance at the old farmer.

After a long while, the old farmer finally spoke. There was a hint of mockery in his tone:

“By the time you reach the Nascent Soul stage… I’m afraid I will have already passed away.”

But his voice was notably softer than before.

And unbeknownst to all, the resentment in his tone had quietly faded away by a large margin.

Recognizing the slight change in the old farmer’s tone, Wang Ba felt a weight lift off his heart.

“Success!”

Constantly avoiding his Master’s past grudges wasn’t the right way to go.

It’s not that being low-key was wrong, but there was only a limited time one could be a thief, and there wasn’t enough time to always be on guard against thieves.

After all, no one knew how many people held grudges against his Master, or where they were waiting for him.

Rather than being challenged later on, it’s better to step up and be honest now.

In other words, I’m willing to take responsibility for Master’s mistakes, as long as you are willing to do so.

After all, they were all respected seniors. Even though they had disputes with his Master, it wouldn’t be dignified to pick on a junior.

The Sect wasn’t small, but neither was it big. The circle of high-class cultivators was just about this size.

If something happened, soon enough, everyone in the Sect would know.

So, ordinarily, not many people would stir up trouble.

For those who want to maintain a good reputation, they might even treat Wang Ba especially well, to show their magnanimity.

These were Wang Ba’s thoughts and reasons for stepping forward.

He intended to resolve all potential troubles once and for all.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the old farmer looked at him and taunted:

“Reaching Nascent Soul stage first… why don’t you say that you’ll help me after you achieve Immortal Ascension?”

Wang Ba was momentarily stunned, and calmly replied:

“That was what I had in mind… but I didn’t want to appear as if I was deceiving you, so I didn’t exaggerate.”

At this, the old farmer couldn’t help but stare at Wang Ba in disbelief:

“You really dare to dream big…”

Cui Daqi also couldn’t help muttering to himself.

Despite being so confident, it seemed that the more he looked like Senior Brother Yao…

At this moment, the old farmer paused for a moment and after some thought, seemed to make a decision. He looked at Wang Ba again, still with a cold look:

“The Spirit Valley Bran you need… I’ll keep supplying it as long as I’m in the Spirit Plant Department. But remember, as soon as you achieve Immortal Ascension, you’ll have to make up for the mistakes your Master made. Can you swear to that?”

Hearing the old farmer’s words, Wang Ba was taken aback.

Actually, he had already given up on obtaining chicken feed here. The reason he remained here was to make a statement.

But unexpectedly…

Without a moment’s hesitation, he swiftly swore to his Heart Demon:

“I, Wang Ba, if I can achieve Immortal Ascension, I will do my utmost to heal Martial Uncle Ma’s damage to his soul!”

Hearing this, the old farmer gave a slight nod.

Then, bypassing Wang Ba, he walked out of the bamboo hut.

Cui Daqi gave Wang Ba a thumbs up and immediately followed him, shouting, “Old Ma, wait for me.”

The cultivators of the Spirit Plant Department who stood around, gave Wang Ba amazed looks, as they saw something extraordinary.

Before Deacon Qiu could stop himself, he walked up to Wang Ba, his face full of admiration:

“Deacon Wang, you are the first person I’ve seen to stand up to the Minister…”

“Qiu Feng! Have you finished fertilizing the fallow spirit field?”

Old Farmer’s cold voice came from outside the bamboo hut.

Deacon Qiu: “Um…”

He gave Wang Ba a helpless look, bowed, and left.

The others, who originally wanted to get to know Wang Ba, hesitated when they saw the situation, and didn’t dare to say another word. They politely bowed to Wang Ba and quickly left.

Seeing this, Wang Ba didn’t linger. He immediately flew out of the Spirit Plant Department. He saluted Cui Daqi and the old farmer in the distance, and then flew towards Wanfa Peak.

“Old Ma, you are asking too much of him. Ascending to immortality is not an easy matter…”

Cui Daqi watched the silhouette of Wang Ba fading into the distance and couldn’t help but complain.

The old farmer glanced at him and calmly said, “What, you don’t have faith in him?”

“It’s not a question of faith… Senior Brother Yao… the difficulty of training in the Dharma Lineage is too high. Over the past years, many young people who had just joined the sect were scared off. We may even count ourselves among them. Back then, none of us dared to go to Wanfa Peak. To be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage was already an outstanding achievement.”

Cui Daqi expressed his frustration.

However, the old farmer merely shook his head slightly without saying anything further. Yet in his gaze watching Wang Ba’s retreating figure, a spark of appreciation flashed unnoticed:

“This boy… is different from his good-for-nothing Master.”

At that moment, both of them seemed to sense something and simultaneously looked up into the sky.

Instantly, their expressions changed:

“Is that…”

…

The Quest Hall.

Yao Wudi strode past everyone in the square of the Quest Hall.

His burly figure moved among the crowd, yet nobody could sense him.

He walked straight up to the huge water curtain at the front of the square, stopping in front of the fourth curtain.

Looking up at the golden light shining on the water curtain, he smiled with satisfaction:

“Haha, I remembered correctly! Defeat but not kill…”
