Chapter 539: Chapter 13 So Embarrassing_5

For a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator to attain such a level is indeed ridiculously exaggerated.

So exaggerated that the vast majority of people here could only look up to Wang Ba in awe.

Not far away, big drinker He retracted his gaze, noticing Cui Daqi nearby, he stiffened momentarily, nodded stiffly in acknowledgement and then hurriedly left.

Cui Daqi thought for a moment and didn’t come forward, he instead transmitted a message to Wang Ba then followed suit, swiftly leaving the bamboo house.

Wang Ba, who was in the process of rapidly restoring his mana, was suddenly startled by the sound of Cui Daqi’s voice. He quickly entrusted the matters at hand to Deacon Kong, who he was more familiar with, then swiftly left the bamboo house and headed towards the second floor of the bamboo house.

…

The second floor of the bamboo house is where Minister Cui Daqi and the other deputy ministers temporarily reside.

However, at this moment, only the doors to the dwellings of Cui Daqi and big drinker He were open.

Following Cui Daqi’s instructions, Wang Ba found the latter’s dwelling and quickly entered.

Indeed, just like the bamboo house downstairs, it looked small from the outside, but was incredibly spacious on the inside.

The entire place was filled with more than ten bookshelves, either displaying jade slips or books.

In the center, a middle-aged figure was sitting on a seat similar to a Taishi Chair, perusing a book in his hand.

It was Minister Cui Daqi of the Spirit Food Department.

Upon noticing Wang Ba’s arrival, Cui Daqi put away the book, stood up with a broad smile.

He looked at Wang Ba approvingly:

“You kid, you quite surprised me. I didn’t expect your spirit food cultivation skills to be this remarkable. Senior Brother Yao previously asked me to instruct you, and I actually agreed heedlessly, how reckless of me.”

Wang Ba quickly bowed and replied, “Minister Cui, you’re too kind. I’ve learned some of this before.”

“In private, you don’t need to be so formal. Just call me Uncle Master.”

Cui Daqi waved his hand:

“You’re too modest. Your spirit food cultivation skills are rarely surpassed within the Spirit Food Department, and even those who are better, their lead isn’t much.”

Wang Ba merely smiled and didn’t say much more.

Unlike most of the cultivators here who deal with trivial matters in order to earn merit, the skill of cooking spirit food was crucial for Wang Ba’s livelihood in his previous life. Naturally, he had put a lot of thought and practice into it with a large number of spirit beasts for practice and research. Coupled with his preoccupation with only cooking Spirit Chicken and Spirit Turtle – concentrating his efforts on one point – the results he achieved were truly beyond comparison for most people.

Besides, the art of a spiritual chef isn’t as profund as other arts. As a latecomer, Wang Ba indeed could be more proficient than Nascent Soul cultivators.

Of course, Nascent Soul cultivators operate on a different level, their perspective on the world could change, which was something Wang Ba couldn’t achieve.

However, seemingly taken with Wang Ba, Cui Daqi pointed to the doa

zen or so bookshelves behind him and chuckled:

“Given your current level, I can’t teach you much. What you lack is simply more experience, and knowledge outside of spirit food. These are all things I borrowed from the Myriad Library. I have to return them regularly. If you are free, you can go take a look, just remember to return them, and don’t spread the knowledge.”

Wang Ba stared blankly, but then his face revealed a look of delight.

He quickly said, “Thank you, Uncle Master.”

Because he lacked inheritance and knowledge in his early years, Wang Ba’s thirst for knowledge is essentially innate.

Regrettably, after coming to Wanxiang Sect, he didn’t have any merit points to spend in the Myriad Library. He could only look on enviously and not actually touch anything.

This caused Wang Ba a great deal of distress.

The books of Cui Daqi, however, could temporarily alleviate his worries.

“It’s nothing. It’s just a pity you have no chance to go to Junior Brother He’s place, he has also privately collected a lot of spirit wine recipes…”

Cui Daqi shook his head slightly, with a trace of regret on his face.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba felt regret in his heart, yet he was somewhat helpless.

Big drinker He held a grudge against Yao Wudi. Keeping him in the Spirit Food Department was already a favour to Cui Daqi. Letting him view the spirit wine recipes was absolutely impossible.

“Alright, let’s not dwell on this.”

Cui Daqi spoke seriously:

“The main reason I called you here was to have you persuade your master.”

“Persuade my master?”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

“Yes, I’ve just learnt that your master ran off to Qingmu Peak and Thick Earth Peak last night… Those like Ling Weizi were blatantly bullied by him, even Qu Shentong…the Master of Shaoyin Mountain was alarmed.”

Cui Daqi said with a look of helplessness.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba’s brain instantly conjured up the image of Yao Wudi, muscular and explosive, defeating four Nascent Soul cultivators with a handful of punches and kicks.

Even though he knew Master had returned safely after hearing that the Master of Shaoyin Mountain was alarmed, Wang Ba was still worried and asked:

“May I ask Uncle Master, how did Master escape?”

“Escape?”

Cui Daqi’s response was somewhat strange:

“He didn’t need to escape. Those who needed to escape were Ling Weizi and the others.”

Wang Ba was once again taken aback, slightly puzzled.

Seeing the worried look on Wang Ba’s face, Cui Daqi immediately understood and couldn’t help but chuckle, saying:

“It seems like you misunderstood….”

“Well… let’s put it this way, your master went to the top of Qingmu Peak last night and peed on top of Ling Weizi’s head. This angered Ling Weizi who drew his sword and attacked… After the Master of Shaoyin Mountain arrived, it turns out Ling Weizi had to compensate your master with ten thousand merit points and some other items …”

“Hu Zaixi of Thick Earth Peak and Chi Liequan of Fire Cloud Peak… they were also tricked by your master in the same way!”

Hearing Cui Daqi’s words, while Wang Ba was stunned, he suddenly realised why Yao Wudi had come back wearing that robe that morning. With this realization, Wang Ba was deeply moved.

“Master… must have been collecting cultivation methods for me.”

“He must have been covered in wounds. He just didn’t let me see them so as not to worry me…”

At this moment, numerous emotions welled up in his heart.

Complex and confusing.

However, Cui Daqi looked frustrated and said:

“Let’s leave it at that for now, the key issue here is that Ling Weizhi and the others don’t have the strength to injure your master…”

“I bet he purposely inflicted some injuries on himself. Ah, it’s not for me to say, but he used to like this tactic, after all these years, he still employs it. You hurry back and try to persuade your master, he’s causing too much of a scene!”

Wang Ba: “Uh…”
