Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 652: Chapter 40 Yi An_4

A cultivator below reported: “Mountain Lord, Pure Yuan Peak’s Golden Core disciple, Xi Wushang, and Shenxiu Peak’s disciple, Liang Zhongkang, request an audience.”

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared involuntarily on Qu Shentong’s face.

“Allow them in.”

Quickly, Xi Wushang, dressed like a swordsman, and Liang Zhongkang, stepped into the hall together.

Upon noting Qu Shentong’s gaze, Xi Wushang remained calm, and Liang Zhongkang became somewhat nervous.

“The disciple of Pure Yuan Peak, Xi Wushang, pays respects to the Mountain Lord!”

...

Xi Wushang was the first to bow.

Seeing this, Liang Zhongkang hurried to follow suit.

Qu Shentong nodded, his face radiating a smile.

Just as he was about to say something.

A voice announcing a name echoed through the hall.

“… Pure Yuan Peak’s Golden Core disciple Xi Wushang is ordered to proceed from Daohai Town on the southern shoreline of the West Sea Country to the cloud-covered area…”

Xi Wushang froze on the spot.

Liang Zhongkang, on the side, looked somewhat stunned too.

The smile on Qu Shentong’s face became stiff, and he cursed secretly in his heart, then promptly laughed naturally again:

“Hehe, I was about to mention this, Wushang, your responsibility in this task is quite substantial.”

Xi Wushang, with thoughts moving as quick as lightning, immediately dismissed the idea that Qu Shentong was trying to set him up.

His position as the Mountain Lord would not resort to such a lowly trick.

Furthermore, the Sect Master was originally from the Pure Yuan Peak lineage; counting the relationship, he was still the Sect Master’s junior disciple’s descendant.

Let alone, he was also the descendant of the current Hall Master of Diwu Hall, Xi Kui.

Being an Immortal Ascension, and a junior relative of the Sect Master… these relationships were directly full score.

As long as Qu Shentong was not out of his mind, there was no way he would harm himself.

Within the span of a thought, Xi Wushang had already figured out these things, so he promptly bowed respectfully and said: “Mountain Lord, why are you saying such things? It’s this disciple’s duty.”

“Hmm, that’s good.”

Qu Shentong was quite satisfied with Xi Wushang’s attitude.

He immediately turned to Liang Zhongkang, and with a slight smile, said: “Your master asked me to arrange a trial for you, given that the patrol range in the West Sea Country has expanded, you can go along with them… However, your patrol area needs to be changed somewhat. Deacon Tian, do we have any suitable tasks for him?”

The elderly man who had spoken earlier contemplated for a moment, then he said, “Mountain Lord, there is a hundred miles of sea area outside of Yundang, where there are islands and hidden reefs, perhaps there are remnant cultivators from the Outer Continent hiding…”

“That will do.”

Qu Shentong made the decision on the spot.

Liang Zhongkang was slightly bewildered for a moment, but when he heard that remnant cultivators from the Outer Continent might be in his patrol area, surprise showed on his face.

As a disciple of Shenxiu Peak, one thing was certain, his life-preserving skills were top-notch. Although he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, it wasn’t easy for a typical Golden Core to catch up with him.

This is why while others might be fearful, he dared to attempt it.

A deacon soon led Liang Zhongkang away.

Seeing this, a shiver ran down Xi Wushang’s spine, realizing that the Mountain Lord had something to say, so he quickly assumed a respectful demeanor.

Indeed, Qu Shentong gazed straight at him, his tone serious:

“Wushang, your task this time is not truly to patrol.”

A slight confusion formed in Xi Wushang’s heart.

If the patrol mission was not for patrolling, then what was it for?

Qu Shentong cut to the chase: “Your single task is to ensure the protection of Wanfa Peak’s disciple, Wang Ba.”

Upon hearing this name, Xi Wushang looked up in surprise.

Not long after, he flew away from Shaoyin Mountain, a thoughtful look on his face.

Inside the hall.

Qu Shentong watched Xi Wushang’s departing figure, his eyes flashing:

“Sect Master, I have done everything I am supposed to do…”

…

Wang Ba helplessly watched as Bu Chan, who was still motionless in front of him.

Similarly, Bu Chan showed rare anxiety:

“Brother… why isn’t it out yet?”

Knowing that Wang Ba was soon leaving the sect, Bu Chan hoped that she could give birth before Wang Ba’s departure.

After all, the timeframe of a patrol mission was not set in stone. Once Wang Ba left, it was uncertain how long before he would return.

However, it seemed the child in her belly had no intention of making an appearance, sleeping soundly inside Bu Chan.

Seeing Bu Chan worrying, Wang Ba quickly comforted her: “It’s okay, I will try to come back as soon as possible.”

Although he said so, he also knew that such matters were unpredictable.

Once you leave the sect, anything can happen.

There’s no guarantee he won’t encounter any danger.

Bu Chan thought the same, hesitating for a moment. Even though she wanted Wang Ba to stay with her, she knew what was more important and said, “Brother, in the next few days, you should make more preparations. Take all your spirit beasts with you. No matter what happens, it will give you more chances.”

“And the talismans… Right, this is the ‘Jadeite Pearl Explosion’ that I learned from Sister Gu recently… I didn’t make many.”

Bu Chan took out an unremarkable box from her Storage Ring.

Wang Ba took the box, opened it, and found neatly arranged jadelike pearls inside.

“Class III?”

Surprise flickered in Wang Ba’s eyes.

“It’s spirit materials Sister Gu gave me, it’s the special product of their Feiyu Peak. I made these according to the method she taught… these ‘Jadeite Pearl Explosions’ aren’t powerful, but they can block spiritual senses when they explode. Even Nascent Soul cultivators will be in a state of ‘absent-mindedness’ for a moment if they are caught off guard.”

“Good stuff!”

A gleam lit up in Wang Ba’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected Feiyu Peak to have such treasures.

Bu Chan felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Because the rank of these spirit materials is a bit high, I spent two to three years, and only managed to make a few.”
