Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 632: Chapter 35 Unity_1

“Taiyi True Fire?”

Ling Weizi inevitably frowned:

“You’ve practiced it?”

Hu Zaixi quickly shook his head: “No, I am not from… the Dharma Lineage…”

“Then you should go and find Chi Liequan, what are you doing on my Qingmu Peak?”

Ling Weizi was very straightforward.

An awkward expression suddenly flashed across Hu Zaixi’s face: “If Chi Liequan agreed, I naturally wouldn’t have bothered you. He didn’t agree… Last time I tested his reaction, he still had a big problem with Yao Wudi.”

“It’d be strange if he didn’t have a problem… Chi Liequan always sees himself highly, yet Yao Wudi has always disregarded him. However, how does coming to me help?”

Ling Weizi was condescending, his tone indifferent.

Seeing this, Hu Zaixi subtly raised his body so that he was at eye level with the other party, then said seriously:

“The Five Elements produce and counteract each other. Wood produces fire, fire produces earth. The methods we practice are perfectly complementary to the Taiyi True Fire. As long as we have the original text of Taiyi True Fire, we should be able to infer at least the key to the beginner’s level under our joint deduction.”

“In doing so, we can help Wang Ba complete the Five Elements and build the foundation of Dharmas.”

“Hold on!”

Ling Weizi suddenly interrupted Hu Zaixi, questioning: “Why should I help him complete the Five Elements?”

Hu Zaixi was taken aback and hurriedly said: “Didn’t you… at Shaoyin Mountain…”

“I was just worried that he would die outside and fail to fulfill his agreement with Yao Wudi, what does that have to do with him?”

Ling Weizi’s face was full of indifference.

“As long as I guide him to the beginner’s level and instruct him for ten years, I’ll have fulfilled my promise. Why should I help him with Taiyi True Fire? What’s the benefit for me if I help him?”

Hu Zaixi was momentarily speechless, then quickly said: “But Wang Ba will be heading to the West Sea Country in just over half a month. If he ends up in a life-threatening situation, wouldn’t that mean he can’t fulfill his promise?”

“So if he learns Taiyi True Fire, he’ll be able to turn the tables?”

Ling Weizi scoffed: “Even if he’s from the Dharma Lineage, even if he has entered the beginner’s level of the Five Elements, what of it? Within this short period of time, can he master the use of Five Elements Spell as easily as moving his arm? Can he fight undefeated like Yao Wudi? Even if he could, he is just a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, let alone a Nascent Soul, even a Golden Core…how much chance do you think he has of winning?”

Hearing Ling Weizi’s words, Hu Zaixi couldn’t help but fall silent.

Indeed, Wang Ba had been part of the sect for too short a time. Even if he successfully began the Five Elements cultivation method, the time was simply too short. He probably hadn’t mastered the exclusive spells that come with these five methods.

Without spells to vent his mana, even with the Five Elements Mana, it was difficult to exert any power.

So what Ling Weizi said was not wrong, even if he learned Taiyi True Fire now, it would be pointless.

“But…”

Hu Zaixi hesitated, his gaze sweeping over Wang Ba, who was beside him with a tight frown, still trying hard to control the Mana Whirl in his Dantian. He couldn’t help but say:

“Don’t you want to see, with his talent, how far he can go?”

“Talent?”

Upon hearing this, Ling Weizi’s gaze also fell on Wang Ba. A flicker of complexity flashed through his eyes.

Talent was one thing, but the calm and unyielding mentality was what he valued more.

And he had seen Wang Ba’s performance these past few days.

Whether it was his enthusiasm for cultivation, or his stable mindset despite frequent mana control failures, he calmly continued cultivating while reflecting and adjusting…

These things may not seem difficult to talk about, but they are fundamental. However, where is the mystery in cultivation, it’s these basic things that accumulate over time.

Many cultivators always think the mountain is high and the sky is high, thinking that there are countless cultivation methods and spirit items waiting for them, but they overlook these fundamental aspects of cultivation.

When time has passed and the foundation is full of holes, they become apprehensive at the slightest difficulty and it’s already impossible to advance further.

So although Ling Weizi hadn’t said anything these past few days, in his heart he had already compared the disciples within the peak with Wang Ba countless times.

Yet even his prized disciples, Naucsent Soul cultivators Su Cheng and Li Xiao, whom he had personally guided…compared with Wang Ba, may have a far superior cultivation base, but were lacking in some basic things.

At least in his view, the temperament of Su Cheng and the others was less poised and calm compared to Wang Ba.

“They lack experience… When there’s a chance, they need to go out and train more.”

Ling Weizi sighed internally.

As for Hu Zaixi’s suggestion, Ling Weizi finally responded after his thoughts churned:

“I can help him… but you’ll have to be the one to pay the Merit for buying ‘Taiyi True fire.’

Hu Zaixi’s eyes widened: “But isn’t this our…”

“If you don’t agree, then forget it. Anyway, I don’t particularly want to help him.”

Ling Weizi said directly.

“This…”

Hu Zaixi looked conflicted.

Casually spending five thousand Merits, even for a Naucsent Soul cultivator, was a bit painful.

However, remembering what Chi Liequan had previously said, Hu Zaixi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and made up his mind:

“Then, I’ll pay for it!”
