Chapter 606: Chapter 29 Recovery_5
He called out four or five times in a row, but there was no sound from within.
âNot in?â
Ma Shengxu couldnât help but frown slightly.
At this moment, a figure was seen flying slowly on a magic tool from below. It was a pregnant female cultivator with a fairly decent appearance. Seeing Ma Shengxu, she quickly bowed slightly, âRespected senior, I am Bu Chan. Are you here looking for my companion, Wang Ba?â
âCompanion of Wang Ba?â
Upon hearing these words, Ma Shengxuâs eyes slightly narrowed, as he noticed a rare and pure Qi of grass and flowers above the female cultivatorâs head.
...
He couldnât help but exclaim with astonishment, âA Spirit Plant Master?â
However, this astonishment was soon replaced by his urgency, and he hastily said, âIndeed, is he not here at the moment?â
âHe is, but it seems like he has gone into seclusion and therefore couldnât hear anything. Please wait for a moment, senior. I will go and call him over.â
Bu Chan explained.
But upon hearing Bu Chanâs words, Ma Shengxu quickly intervened, âNo, if heâs currently in seclusion, then we should not disturb him. I will just wait here⊠You should go back first too.â
After all, she was pregnant. As the senior, he felt it inappropriate to let her keep him company.
Bu Chan, hearing his words, was quite considerate and invited him, âSenior, why donât you come in and sit for a while at the peak?â
âNo need, you go ahead. Iâll just wait here for him.â
Ma Shengxu hurriedly replied.
Despite claiming not to care about Yao Wudi, when he arrived at Wanfa Peak, he couldnât help but pause.
After being invited by Bu Chan multiple times, she finally left reluctantly.
Ma Shengxu comfortably sat down outside Wanfa Peak and started to wait quietly.
However, shortly after that, a streak of light flashed in the distant sky.
Noticing something, the radiant light paused slightly. Immediately, a figure quickly flew out from the light and landed in front of Ma Shengxu.
Short and child-like in stature.
It was Hu Zaixi, the peak master of Thick Earth Peak.
He flew to Ma Shengxuâs side, looking extremely astonished,
âEhâŠâ
âJunior Brother Ma? Why are you here at Wanfa Peak? Arenât you with Yao WudiâŠâ
âWho said Iâm here because of Yao Wudi?â
Ma Shengxu rejected the notion.
âThen what are you here forâŠâ
Hu Zaixi was visibly curious.
However, Ma Shengxu no longer answered, and instead asked:
âSenior Brother Hu, arenât you busy?â
However, Hu Zaixi didnât mind Ma Shengxuâs words and cheerfully said:
âWell, Iâm not too busy. Iâm simply heading over to Shaoyin Mountain to assist with preparing the event venue. But I remember Yao Wudi has already left for the West Sea Country for quite some time now. Oh right, he also had a discipleâŠAre you here to see his disciple? What do you need from his disciple?â
âHow do you know Iâm here to see his disciple?â
As soon as Ma Shengxu asked this, he realized he had asked the wrong question.
Almost all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect knew that before Yao Wudi left, he had specially brought his disciple Wang Ba to many peaks.
As Thick Earth Peak was one of them, they naturally knew about it.
âItâs nothing specialâŠâ
Ma Shengxu gave a flippant response.
But Hu Zaixi was not so easily deceived, he turned his eyes, as if recalling a previous rumor, laughed and said:
âDidnât you make a promise with that kid? After he reaches Immortal Ascension, he will come to heal youâŠCould it be youâre waiting for him to help you recover?â
Hearing this, Ma Shengxu was shocked and hastily asked:
âHow do you know about the deal I made with him?â
Afterward, thinking about it, he immediately realized that it was probably leaked by the cultivators present at the Spirit Plant Department.
Indeed, Hu Zaixi replied dismissively,
âWhatâs the urgency, Junior Brother? Doesnât everyone already know about this? I am telling you, itâs absurd to hold a grudge against a junior. Not only this, even if he has any hope of reaching Immortal Ascension, it may not necessarily mean he can cure your illnessâŠWait, your face âŠâ
Hu Zaixi looked at Ma Shengxu with surprised eyes.
Being cultivators from the same sect and having known each other for many years, he has a clear memory of Ma Shengxuâs appearance.
At first, he didnât notice, but now he finally noticed the changes in Ma Shengxu.
âHas your illness been cured?â
Hu Zaixi couldnât help but be surprised.
âYouâre the one whoâs ill!â
Unable to contain himself, Ma Shengxu retorted.
However, Hu Zaixi didnât mind at all. After looking at Ma Shengxu, he couldnât help but glance towards Wanfa Peak.
A sense of disbelief appeared in his eyes:
âCould it beâŠHe really cured it?â
After saying this, Hu Zaixi immediately shook his head.
Impossible, completely impossible.
No sane person would ever believe that a Foundation Establishment Competitor could cure the chronic illness of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
However, upon hearing Hu Zaixiâs words, a complex expression flashed across Ma Shengxuâs face.
Just as he was about to speak.
Several streaks of light flashed in the distance.
Two people dropped out from the streaks of light and directly flew towards Ma Shengxu and Hu Zaixi.
âEh, Old Ma, your faceâŠâ
One of them was Cui Daqi, the Minister of the Spirit Food Department. However, at the moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Ma Shengxu.
Unlike Hu Zaixi, who was unaware of the situation, he immediately reacted:
âThe Phoenix-feathered Chicken Essence given by Wang BaâŠReally worked?!â
Another middle-aged cultivator in yellow robes standing next to Cui Daqi frowned slightly:
âWang Ba? Yao Wudiâs disciple? What kind of decent disciple could such a reckless man have? Brother Cui, donât talk nonsense.â
However, just as he finished speaking, he was shocked to notice that Ma Shengxu, who usually disliked Yao Wudi the most, was coldly looking at him.
