Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 617: Chapter 31 Earth_5

Not only Wang Ba, but also Hu Zaixi has caught on, a sudden realization flashing in his eyes:

“I see… these are the pros and cons of the Dharma Lineage dual cultivation of other cultivation methods.”

“The mana whirls of dual cultivation will be accelerated, thus, the speed of mana refinement will be extremely fast… That’s why the Dharma Lineage can afford the time to cultivate so many techniques at once.”

“But because of this, the difficulty of cultivation has increased. Without sufficient control, I’m afraid it would be impossible to dual cultivate any technique.”

However, although he realized this problem, Hu Zaixi didn’t have any better solution. It is not possible to rely on others when it comes to cultivation.

He could only come to Wang Ba’s aid in case his mana whirl became out of control.

At least in the early stages, when the mana whirls aren’t stable enough, this was the only way.

He also conveyed his thoughts to Wang Ba.

“Control of mana?”

Wang Ba fell into thought, then immediately poured himself back into cultivation.

Time quickly passed as Wang Ba continued his endless cycles of lack of control, reflection, and cultivation.

Very soon, Hu Zaixi was astonished to find that the number of times the Earth mana whirl in Wang Ba’s Dantian went out of control was visibly decreasing.

On the first night there were countless incidents of lost control.

On the second night… twenty times.

On the third night, eight times…

Finally, on the fifth night, the number of times it went out of control was zero!

Gazing at Wang Ba, who was cultivating steadily all night, Hu Zaixi was genuinely astonished.

Wang Ba’s progress was happening right before his very eyes.

He watched as Wang Ba advanced little by little. Every step was neither too fast nor too slow, yet it was incredibly steady.

It took him only five days to traverse a path that he had spent over a year traveling.

In terms of mana control, he showed an unparalleled and astounding talent.

At this moment, he couldn’t help but share the same thought as Ma Shengxu:

“What great merit and ability does this Yao Wudi have!”

Looking at Wang Ba, a look of acknowledgment and regret flashed in his eyes.

He admired Wang Ba’s talent and his manner of dealing with things.

But it was also pitiful that such an astounding disciple had been wasted by Yao Wudi.

“If he were to become my disciple, even if he were not an Immortal Ascension, he could easily become the next Thick Earth Peak master.”

Hu Zaixi couldn’t help but sigh.

But soon, he was diverted by Wang Ba’s words:

“You want to go to Jinhuang Peak to learn the ‘Golden Light Nine Elements’?”

Hu Zaixi asked with a frown.

Wang Ba responded with a touch of helplessness:

“In response to Junior Martial Uncle, my master specially instructed me before heading to West Sea Country that as soon as I have made preliminary progress in one technique, I must immediately start on the other four. Otherwise, the difficulty of cultivation will increase later.”

Hearing this, Hu Zaixi eased his frown: “I see, I thought you looked down on… ahem, Wei Rong of Jinhuang Peak? He doesn’t get along with your master, are you sure you want to go?”

After spending these days together, Wang Ba had become familiar with Hu Zaixi. He didn’t need to hide and showed a rare bitter smile when he said:

“Disciple has no choice. Not only Martial Uncle Wei, but also Martial Uncle Ling Weizi of Qingmu Peak, seems not to get along well with my master.”

“But what troubles me the most is the ‘Taiyi True Fire’ from Fire Cloud Peak…”

Thinking back to the day when Yao Wudi took him to visit Chi Liequan, the peak master of Fire Cloud Peak, and the contemptuous attitude of the latter, Wang Ba felt helpless.

Obviously, it was almost impossible for him to get guidance from Chi Liequan.

For the moment, he had no better plan. He was even contemplating changing to a different Fire Style technique.

He had been considering it before. There were many Fire Style inheritances in the Myriad Cave, some of which could achieve the Immortal Ascension realm.

But without a doubt, at least in the sect, the ‘Taiyi True Fire’ was still the unrivalled Fire Style technique.

“Chi Liequan… he is indeed troublesome.”

Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Hu Zaixi had no choice but to concur.

“You should go back and think about it carefully. But once you have dabbled in all the Five Elements, it would be best to return here. Since there is nobody watching over you, your cultivation still carries a certain level of danger. There are also some things I have yet to teach you.”

Hearing this, Wang Ba immediately payed respect to Hu Zaixi once again and earnestly said:

“I am grateful for your guidance over these few days.”

Before long.

Watching Wang Ba’s diminishing figure, recalling the small details of his cultivation over the past few days, as well as the previous gift-giving incident,

Hu Zaixi signs to himself,

“Ah, I am truly a busybody!”

Saying this, he shakes his head slightly before leaving Thick Earth Peak.

Soon, he appeared before a mountain in the west.

He noticed cultivators coming in and out of the mountain at regular intervals.

He paid no mind and sent a message into the mountain.

A few moments later, an aloof and sharp figure shot out from an immortal cave within the mountain.

Upon seeing Hu Zaixi, a trace of confusion crossed his expressionless face:

“Junior Brother Hu…”

“Martial Elder Brother Wei Rong, how are you?”

Hu Zaixi replied with a faint smile.

The person who came was none other than the peak master of Jinhuang Peak, Wei Rong.

He asked, “Aren’t you busy with the Dao-asking conference at Shaoyin Mountain? Why are you here?”

Such a straightforward question left Hu Zaixi speechless. However, with Wei Rong’s temperament, he had to clarify his intentions:

“I heard that you promised Yao Wudi that you would teach his disciple to cultivate?”

Upon hearing Hu Zaixi’s words, Wei Rong’s face darkened, “What are you asking for?”

“Ha ha, don’t get agitated, Elder Brother. I was just saying that I’ve taught Yao Wudi’s disciple, and he has exceptional talent. He’ll probably come to see you in a couple of days. He’s young, so maybe you should give him a little more consideration; this child will not disappoint you…”

Before Hu Zaixi could finish his words, he was interrupted by a frown from Wei Rong.

“What you’re saying doesn’t concern me. I only promised to teach him the basics; the rest has nothing to do with me.”

Having said that, he turned around and flew back.

Hu Zaixi stood in astonishment for a long while before he mumbled in frustration:

“He’s simply impervious to reason… sigh, Wang Ba, I’ve done all I can.”

Shaking his head, he left with a feeling of helplessness.

At the same time.

Upon returning to Wanfa Peak, Wang Ba was checking the hatching progress of various Spirit Beast eggs in the peak. He was drawn to a few split open beast eggs.

“What a big Stone Lizard!”

“Huh? Another Hundred Colored Stone Lizard? But its color seems a bit off…”
