Chapter 607: Chapter 30 Chasing _1

“So, has the disciple you accepted to the Wuzang Peak been good, Senior Brother Ruan?”

Ma Shengxu said with a touch of mockery in his tone.

The yellow-robed cultivator first looked stunned at the questioning then his face went slightly grim:

“What do you mean by that, Martial Uncle Ma? Since when did the disciples of Yao Wudi provoke you?”

Ma Shengxu was slightly taken aback before scoffing at him:

“Since when did this have anything to do with whose disciple it is? Even if I don’t approve of Yao Wudi, I would never mock a younger generation like you… If you have the courage, why not voice your opinion in front of Yao Wudi?”

...

The yellow-robed cultivator was immediately infuriated: “What do you mean by this, Ma Shengxu!”

“What I mean, are you ‘Ruan Wei’ not smart enough to see?”

Ma Shengxu was defiantly antagonistic.

“Alright, Senior Brother Ruan, you should say less.”

“Old Ma, you too!”

Seeing the two heating up, Cui Daqi quickly intervened, separating the two of them.

“Get out of my way! Everyone knows you and Yao Wudi are of the same ilk!”

The yellow-robed cultivator knocked Cui Daqi aside with a sweep of his sleeve.

Cui Daqi’s face immediately turned gloomy.

Finally unable to stand aside and watch, Hu Zaixi flew into the middle of the three and said cheerily: “Aiyah, we’re all brothers here, so why the animosity…”

“Hmph! To share the same sect as you is a disgrace!”

The yellow-robed cultivator swept his gaze over Ma Shengxu and Cui Daqi before tossing his sleeve and leaving.

“Pah! This disrespectful bastard!”

Ma Shengxu spat a thick gob of phlegm at the departing figure.

Of course, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, his body was already free of impurities, and this act was purely symbolic.

Hu Zaixi was helpless.

He hadn’t expected that even with Yao Wudi absent from the Sect, a few Nascent Soul cultivators could still argue over his disciple.

“You guys… It’s just a younger generation; is it really worth it?”

Cui Daqi grumbled with a dark face, “Who on earth did I provoke? I was just trying to play peacemaker.”

However, Ma Shengxu seemed indifferent to it:

“I just can’t stand the sight of that old guy. What’s so special about Yao Wudi’s disciple? Yao Wudi is Yao Wudi, and Wang Ba is Wang Ba, they’re distinct individuals. He happens to dislike the younger generation because of Yao Wudi, yet he doesn’t dare to provoke Yao Wudi himself. Ha! I have no idea how such a person passed the Heart-inquiring Array back in the day!”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Hu Zaixi and Cui Daqi looking at him with shocked expressions.

Ma Shengxu felt a little nervous:

“Wha-what’s the matter?”

“Nothing, just surprised that you suddenly developed such a clear sense of right and wrong.”

Hu Zaixi waved it off casually.

Cui Daqi also shook his head slightly:

“I seem to recall you weren’t so supportive when you first met Wang Ba.”

Ma Shengxu coughed awkwardly and quickly said: “Alright alright, you guys are going to Shaoyin Mountain, right? Go ahead, I have something else to do. I’ll be there later.”

“What could you possibly have to do here at Wanfa Peak?”

Hu Zaixi and Cui Daqi looked suspiciously at Ma Shengxu.

As Ma Shengxu was about to manage an excuse, a warm voice rang from below:

“The few Martial Uncles have come here, I’m Wang Ba and I have failed in my duty to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me.”

With that, a figure in gray steadily flew from the top of the mountain.

His face wasn’t particularly outstanding, nor could he be considered handsome, but his brow was filled with a rare sense of tranquility that was comforting.

Upon seeing the three, he immediately bowed and said:

“Disciple Wang Ba, I’ve met Martial Uncle Hu, Martial Uncle Ma, and Martial Uncle Cui.”

“Hmm.”

Hu Zaixi nodded lightly, his miniature adult-like demeanor was quite amusing.

“So it’s Wang Ba, you’ve come at the right time. Your Martial Uncle Ma seems to have some business with you.”

Seeing Wang Ba, Cui Daqi immediately chuckled.

When Ma Shengxu saw Wang Ba, all his previous unpleasantness disappeared. He didn’t rebut Cui Daqi’s words and smiled benevolently instead:

“Wan…nephew Wang, haha, it’s not like I’m here specifically, I just happened to pass by…””

Hearing his words, Cui Daqi couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Passing by? Wouldn’t this require you to fly around half the sect to be on your route?

However, glancing at Ma Shengxu and Wang Ba, he chose to remain silent.

Upon seeing Ma Shengxu, Wang Ba’s face immediately lit up with surprise:

“Martial Uncle Ma, your skin…”

Ma Shengxu nodded approvingly, then said with praise:

“Your spirit food, it’s truly remarkable. I used it twice, and only after a few days, I’ve seen such changes.”

Hesitating slightly, he couldn’t help but reveal his excitement: “Do you have any Class III essence?”

“Class III?”

That the product was effective on Ma Shengxu indeed came as a pleasant surprise,

However, Wang Ba couldn’t help but reveal a look of helplessness:

“Well…I must not withhold, Martial Uncle Ma, this spirit food is made by refining a kind of spirit chicken that I have cultivated.”

“I named it Phoenix-feathered Chicken Essence.”

“Since this spirit chicken can currently only be bred to a maximum of Class II, and because its reproduction is extremely tough, and its number is extremely rare, and since it’s similar to regular chickens that cannot undergo a Thunder Tribulation, so far I have not succeeded in cultivating it to Class III… Minister Cui should know that generally speaking, except for the combined spirit food, the grade of the spirit food is closely related to the grade of the main material.”

Cui Daqi on the side, seeing Ma Shengxu look at him, nodded slightly in agreement: “Wang Ba is correct. The grade of the spirit food is generally related to the grade of the main ingredient. If this Phoenix-feathered Chicken doesn’t advance to Class III, it’s basically impossible to make Class III spirit food.”

Having given up hope for so many years, Ma Shengxu saw a trace of hope for recovery, when he heard this result, naturally he wasn’t willing to accept it and he quickly said:
