Chapter 578: (Backup) Chapter Twenty-Four: Master_2

“What brings you here this time?”

Wang Ba didn’t dare to delay, quickly responding, “In response to the True Spirit elder, this disciple needs a life-prolonging treasure.”

“Life-prolonging?”

A proud voice came from within the yellow-skin gourd:

“Of course, I have it here!”

“How long do you want to prolong your life? I have treasures to prolong your life for ten days, half a month, a year, and even ten years… I even have those for a hundred years, but your level is not enough to exchange for it.”

A surge of vitality lit up within Wang Ba.

Indeed he has it!

The yellow-skin gourd continued: “Is it for your own use, or for someone else? Each life-prolonging treasure can only be used once, and using it again will have no effect.”

Wang Ba frowned upon hearing this.

Immediately realizing the crux of the problem.

“According to Minister Ma of the Spirit Plant Department, my master has already prolonged his life for more than seven hundred years… It is impossible that he hasn’t used any spiritual medicine from the Myriad Cave. In that case, the life-prolonging treasures in the treasury are likely of little use to my master.”

Although he realized this, he still tried to ask unwillingly:

“True Spirit elder, this disciple intended to use it for my master. He may already have used many life-prolonging treasures before. I am not very clear about which ones he hasn’t used.”

The yellow-skin gourd said: “Tell me who it is, and if he exchanged from me, I will remember…”

Wang Ba dared not conceal it any longer and hurriedly mentioned, “My master is Yao Wudi of Wanfa Peak.”

The yellow-skin gourd paused and then suddenly shrieked:

“Yao, Yao Wudi?! He’s back?!”

Wang Ba was stunned by the yell.

He watched the yellow-skin gourd make a turn, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

He was left standing in a daze on the spot.

“What … what’s going on? Could it be that my master has also bullied the Spirit of the Treasury?”

Wang Ba was bewildered.

However, in the blink of an eye, the yellow-skin gourd flew back from the void. It started to swing its body towards Wang Ba:

“Where is Yao Wudi? Call him out! I’m bringing the Ancestral Master to see him!”

As he was speaking, a Taoist in blue clothes wearing straw shoes and with a thin face walked slowly towards us.

Seeing Wang Ba, a trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the man in blue.

“Mother Qi of Dharmas? Who are you to Yao Wudi?”

A shiver went down Wang Ba’s spine, the blue clad Taoist gave him a similar impression to that of the white clothed child he met before…

Immortal Ascension?!

He dared not delay, quickly bowing in respect, “This junior pays his respects to the elder. Master Yao is indeed my master.”

The blue-clad Taoist suddenly realized, instantly understanding why Yao Wudi had previously exchanged for those items…

“Your master is indeed very thoughtful about you.”

The blue-clad Taoist showed a trace of admiration in his eyes.

Immediately looking towards Wang Ba: “What brought you here?”

Wang Ba quickly recounted Yao Wudi’s situation, and then earnestly said, “This disciple just wants to help his master increase his lifespan so that he has the possibility of achieving Immortal Ascension.”

Upon hearing this, the blue-clad Taoist couldn’t help but shake his head: “Yao Wudi’s lifespan has already reached its limit. There is no method available. He has used up all the life-prolonging treasures that could be obtained inside and outside the sect… So, you don’t need to bother.”

When Wang Ba heard the words from the blue-clad Taoist, the deep disappointment he felt was hard to conceal.

For someone of his realm, there was no need to deceive him.

In this matter, hoping to help Yao Wudi through life-prolonging treasures seems to be an impossible way.

Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask:

“Is there any other way to help my master achieve Immortal Ascension in a short time?”

Listening to Wang Ba, who seemed somewhat naive, the blue-clad Taoist patiently answered:

“No, to achieve Immortal Ascension is not an easy task. This step depends solely on him and has nothing to do with others.”

“However…”

“However, what? Please say, elder.”

Wang Ba hurriedly interjected.

The blue-clad Taoist pondered for a moment, noticing Wang Ba’s sincere concern, he finally said:

“Your master came here before and exchanged a lot of Foundation Establishment stage resources of the Five Elements and those of the Wind Element resources which are far more expensive… Let’s not talk about these, it seemed that your master had a fight with somebody and was injured. I recommended some beneficial treasures to him for his injuries, but he did not accept them. He seems to have planned to recover slowly. However, his lifespan is nearing its limit, it is best if he does not waste any time on healing his injuries.”

“My master is injured?”

Wang Ba was surprised.

Indeed, he had not noticed that Yao Wudi was injured.

Thinking about this, Wang Ba did not hesitate at all and quickly asked: “Elder, may I ask what kind of treasure can help my master recover from his injuries?”

The blue-clad Taoist raised his hand and summoned.

A slab of inkstone landed in front of him.

An ink turtle on the inkstone was sticking its neck out and retracting it.

“This is an Illusory Turtle-Head Inkstone, which has a miraculous effect on your master’s injury. He could recover completely in a month or so.”

Wang Ba’s eyes lit up.

The object looked extraordinary and its value was probably not low.

He hurriedly said:

“Elder, how much does this spirit item cost?”

“Not much, just 20,000 merit points.”

The blue-clad Taoist said so.

Wang Ba fell silent immediately.

20,000 merit points… Where could he earn 20,000 merit points?

Earlier, 200 portions of Class II Spirit Chicken essence had earned him only 200 merit points.

Although it was not a small amount, it obviously paled in comparison to the price of the Illusory Turtle-Head Inkstone.

Wang Ba hesitated, “Elder, can it be a little cheaper?”

The blue-clad Taoist shook his head slightly and didn’t speak.

He wasn’t surprised by Wang Ba’s predicament.

In fact, the reason why he mentioned this item to Wang Ba, even specifically pointing out that Yao Wudi had exchanged for a large number of basic cultivation resources, was to let Wang Ba realize the sacrifices of his master and ensure Yao Wudi’s intentions wouldn’t be wasted.
