Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 622: Chapter 33: Drawing Lots_1

The skies started to dim.

The raindrops hit the rainfall-blocking formation outside the courtyard. The splashing water echoed thunderously in Wei Rong’s ears.

Further in the distance, the disciples of Jinhuang Peak were using the spiritual energy in the rain to cultivate their Gold Mana, causing the rain to tremble; the competing brothers were verifying their learning by creating howling sounds from their spells…

However, none of these could distract Wei Rong from his focus, not even a bit.

He was staring intently at Wang Ba, who was sitting with his eyes closed, breathing in and out.

Although he had seen this scene many times in the recent days, he couldn’t suppress a touch of astonishment that was rising in his heart:

“Fourteen days… just fourteen days, and he has completely gained control over the Mana Whirl…”

The Golden Light Nine Elements directly leads to Immortal Ascension; naturally, the initial stages of cultivation are very challenging, and the Mana Whirl is highly unstable, and easily out of control.

Almost impossible to cultivate independently without a teacher’s support for a year or so.

Yet, Wang Ba managed to achieve this within a mere fourteen days. He went from frequent loss of control in the beginning to almost complete self-control in these two days.

Although he had failed multiple times in the early stages, he never once uttered words of giving up.

However, just this alone was not enough to make Wei Rong feel surprised.

After all, Wang Ba’s case was different from that of a novice cultivator; being a Foundation Establishment Competitor, albeit not easy, it would be considered normal for him to completely gain control over the Mana Whirl within about ten days.

What’s truly challenging was that the Mana Whirl within Wang Ba was spinning at a speed far beyond the normal speed.

“It’s about four times greater than the normal.”

“Is it because he cultivated the Dharmas into One?”

Wei Rong thought deeply.

Though it seemed like the speed had only increased fourfold, the difficulty to control it had increased dramatically by tenfold or even dozens of times.

Leave alone Wang Ba, who was a Foundation Establishment Competitor, even a Golden Core Craftsman, who has drastically increased his Mana control due to the extreme condensation of Mana, would possibly not be able to attain such progress as Wang Ba.

“With such control over mana… perhaps he can start interacting with our lineage’s Divine Skills as an early-stage Nascent Soul.”

This thought couldn’t help but rise in Wei Rong’s heart.

However, he immediately discarded the thought.

After all, he only promised Yao Wudi that he would take Wang Ba as a disciple, and he did not promise to teach him Divine Skills.

Moreover, the requirements for Divine Skills are strict. As Wang Ba cultivated the Golden Light Nine Elements, he might not be able to learn them.

The key point was, based on the situation of Dharma Lineage, whether Wang Ba can achieve Nascent Soul was still a question.

If he didn’t achieve Nascent Soul, the conversation of Divine Skills was futile.

“At the most… I would teach him something else.”

Wei Rong hesitated slightly, thinking of Wang Ba’s consistency in facing repeated failures in the early stage of his training without giving up, he couldn’t help but add another sentence in his heart.

And soon…

The sound of rain gradually subsided.

The sky was slowly brightening.

The night had finally passed.

Wang Ba slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of golden light flashed by.

Noticing Wei Rong sitting at a distance with an indifferent face, seemingly oblivious of him, Wang Ba found it usual.

In these past days, other than helping him adjust when his cultivation was on the verge of losing control, Martial Uncle Wei had almost no other actions or expressions.

It seemed he was merely fulfilling a promise he made to Yao Wudi.

This made Wang Ba a bit disappointed.

The other party, after all, was a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, his attainments in the Gold path were unfathomable.

If he could receive proper guidance from the other party, his cultivation progress would also be quicker.

Unfortunately, his efforts in these past days did not seem to get any approval from the other party.

“Forget it, being able to formally master the Golden Light Nine Elements and finally completely controlling the Gold Mana is already an exceptional blessing. I shouldn’t have so many desires…”

Wang Ba shook his head, riddling his mind of these impractical thoughts.

His mindset eventually restored to peace.

Feeling the time of the day and realizing it was already dawn, Wang Ba hesitantly bowed to Wei Rong and said respectfully:

“Thank you, Martial Uncle, for your support. I will now take my leave.”

However, Wei Rong did not respond in any way, sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he did not hear it.

Wang Ba was used to it by now. These past days, he had gradually grown accustomed to Wei Rong’s way of doing things.

If there was no response, it simply meant approval.

He immediately turned around to leave.

However, just as he was about to step out of the door of the immortal cave, he heard Wei Rong’s voice unexpectedly:

“Now that you have formally mastered the Golden Light Nine Elements… there is no need for you to come back.”

Wang Ba’s movement halted slightly, he sighed softly in his heart.

As expected, he still didn’t make it, huh?

However, he still responded in a low voice:

“Yes, Martial Uncle.”

Just as he was about to leave…

Wei Rong’s voice came once again:

“From now on… come here once every five years.”

Wang Ba was startled, he immediately turned back.

But the door of the immortal cave was gradually closing; he could no longer see Wei Rong.

Wang Ba quickly bowed and asked, “Martial Uncle, may I ask why every five years…”

“…It is Yao Wudi’s request.”

Wei Rong’s indifferent voice came from inside the immortal cave, and the door was completely shut.

“A request from my master?”

Wang Ba was puzzled: “Why didn’t Master tell me about this?”

Since Yao Wudi was currently far away in the West Sea Country, he couldn’t ask him now.

Wang Ba took it as Yao Wudi forgetting to tell him about it. After bowing to the direction of Wei Rong in the immortal cave, he thought for a moment. He then took out something he had prepared earlier from his Storage Treasure, and respectfully left it at the entrance of the immortal cave.
