Chapter 581: (Backup) Chapter Twenty-Four: Master_5

“Disciple, come here, meet your Martial Uncle Ling Weizi.”

Upon hearing these words, although Wang Ba had some faint conjectures, he still had to rush over to Yao Wudi and Ling Weizi.

He bowed respectfully, “Disciple Wang Ba, greetings to Uncle.”

Ling Weizi’s gaze swept over Wang Ba, and he grunted reluctantly, acknowledging him.

He then looked towards Yao Wudi, “Get to the point if you have anything to say, don’t waste time here.”

Yao Wudi shook his head, pointing to Wang Ba, “This is my condition.”

Ling Weizi frowned slightly, “Him?”

“I want you to teach him the core of Green Emperor Kind God Tactics.”

Yao Wudi stated candidly.

Upon hearing Yao Wudi’s words, even though Wang Ba had already suspected, he still found his feelings complicated.

Indeed, the master had already planned his path of cultivation.

As Ling Weizi heard these words, he couldn’t help but glance at Yao Wudi in surprise, his voice full of sarcasm,

“I really didn’t expect this. You actually value your disciple so much. Considering your selfish nature, shouldn’t you be sucking blood out of your disciple instead?”

Yao Wudi revealed a rare wry smile, “I indeed planned to do that initially… brother, if you can help, I’ll immediately teach you ‘The Great Recovery’.”

“And if I can’t?”

Ling Weizi smirked and retorted.

Yao Wudi shook his head slightly and said calmly, “I’ll still teach you… but I hope, when my disciple is cultivating Green Emperor Kind God Tactics and if he needs help, you could slightly assist him… I would be deeply grateful.”

Ling Weizi was immediately silent.

After a brief pause, he suddenly asked,

“Do you believe that I won’t deliberately make it difficult for your disciple on purpose?”

Yao Wudi chuckled lightly, “Who can control the future? I just think if I die in the West Sea Country, my disciple would be the same as you back then, helpless and dependent only on himself… you should understand this feeling.”

“How you respond, is entirely up to you.”

Yao Wudi’s expression remained calm.

Ling Weizi glanced at Wang Ba, then at Yao Wudi. Finally, he threw his head back and took a deep breath. When he looked back at Yao Wudi, his eyes were sharp,

“Fine! I agree to your terms! But I will only teach him for ten years, and I’ll only teach him the content of Green Emperor Kind God Tactics. Whether he succeeds or fails will be entirely up to him!”

Acquiring an advanced cultivation method leading to Immortal Ascension within ten years was almost unimaginable.

However, Yao Wudi didn’t hesitate to respond, “Ten years is enough. If after ten years, he still can’t master it smoothly, then he deserves it.”

Having said that, he looked at Wang Ba solemnly, “Disciple, from now on, when you see him treat him as you would me, you must accord him the respect of a master.”

At this moment, Wang Ba revealed a conflicted expression.

He knew that Yao Wudi was willing to humble himself, even bowing his head to a cultivator far inferior to him, for his sake… But how could he truly treat someone who was not his real master as a master?

This may just be a formal gesture…but gestures are often reflections of one’s inner feelings.

“Hmph, don’t be so formal. This is just a transaction.”

Ling Weizi snorted coldly.

“Move along!”

He barked at the Qingmu Peak cultivators around him, and then flew back to Qingmu Peak.

Seeing this, Su Cheng and Li Xiao quickly bowed to Yao Wudi and promptly left.

Yao Wudi saw that although there had been some bumps, the matter was overall resolved successfully. He sighed in relief.

He then took Wang Ba and flew towards Wanfa Peak.

Midway, Wang Ba couldn’t help it and spoke,

“Master, I know you worry about me, but why such measures…”

“No, you don’t know.”

Yao Wudi stopped, his face was more serious than ever before,

“I’ve said it before when it comes to cultivation, one cannot act blindly. Qingmu Peak has a quite complete tradition of wood-element cultivation, which is lacking in Wanfa Peak. Don’t underestimate these traditions just because Ling Weizi couldn’t beat me.”

“In reality, just for the wood element, Ling Weizi is not worse than me. I just have a bit of an advantage because of the principle ‘a forceful strength can overcome ten techniques’.”

Wang Ba fell silent.

He naturally knew these principles, but maybe because he was used to hardships, now that he had met Yao Wudi who sincerely cared about him, he couldn’t bear anyone humiliating Yao Wudi, especially because of him.

Yao Wudi didn’t say anything else. He knew that Wang Ba wasn’t the kind of person to act impulsively without thinking. He may be finding it hard to work through his feelings right now, but he should be able to recuperate in a while.

The two quickly returned to Wanfa Peak.

Before going back to his room, Yao Wudi said to Wang Ba, “Tomorrow, we go to Thick Earth Peak…”

Wang Ba fell silent again, nodded, and then returned to his room.

He quickly checked up on the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard and found that the protrusion in its cloaca was more pronounced. The estimated due date should be around tomorrow.

After making a quick note.

This time, instead of cultivating immediately, he sat at his desk and rummaged through his thoughts for a while.

Then he began to write on the paper,

“Recipe for Class 2 Spirit Turtle Essence: Take one Class 2 Azure Spirit Turtle, separate the head, four limbs, internal organs, turtle shell and mix with ‘Huishedan’…”

“Effect: It greatly benefits soul power, and also provides a lot of spiritual energy.”

“Azure Spirit Turtle Raising Plan: One male with five females, a pool with each side of ten zhang, mainly feed them spirit fruit, with meat on the side…”

“Recipe for Class 1 Spirit Turtle Essence… Recipe for Class 2 Spirit Chicken Essence….”

He paused momentarily, his eyes looked outside.

“Those three eggs under Jia 15 and Jia 16…will probably hatch soon.”

“Class 3 Spirit Chicken…if made into essence…”
