Chapter 885: Chapter 12: Inventory_3 Chapter 885: Chapter 12: Inventory_3 These people would be best if they could fully cooperate with him.
In Wang Baās mind, however, the first thing that came to mind were some specific individuals.
āI wonder if Ruyi and Luye have any free timeā¦ā
After flying for a while, Wang Ba first arrived at Baihua Peak, where, despite it being late autumn, nearing winter, the entire peak was blooming with flowers, with warblers and swallows flitting among them, their graceful figures interspersedā¦
Wang Ba did not dare to approach and asked from a distance about Zhou Luyeās whereabouts, only to be told she was not there.
He then immediately hurried to Shixian Peak.
After calling out several times, sure enough, Tao Ruyi and Zhou Luye flew out one after the other.
āMartial Uncle Wang, what brings you here?
...
Come on up!
Sit down, and Iāll cook up a dish for you!ā
Seeing Wang Ba, Tao Ruyiās slightly plump face immediately revealed a broad and generous smile.
Wang Ba glanced at the two and joked with a smile,
āIt seems Iāve come at a bad time, disturbing the two of you.ā
Tao Ruyi gave Zhou Luye a good-natured look with an honest chuckle.

Zhou Luyeās face also rarely showed a touch of embarrassment, but she still retorted cheekily,
āWhy didnāt you bring your Dao companion, Martial Uncle Wang?
We could have dined together.ā
Tao Ruyi hurriedly gave Zhou Luye a light tug,
āLuye, donāt talk nonsense.ā
Wang Ba helplessly waved his hand and said, āAll right, I know you, Zhou Luye, never suffer a loss.ā
Then he said with a slightly more serious tone,
āI have a task from Diwu Hall; are you two interested in coming?ā
As he spoke, he explained the task he had to do and all the benefits and rewards.
Zhou Luyeās eyes suddenly brightened, and she exclaimed with joy,
āMartial Uncle Wang, youāre really thoughtful!ā
āIām interested, and Iām free!ā
Seeing Tao Ruyi looking hesitant, Zhou Luye quickly urged, āRuyi, what are you waiting for?ā
Tao Ruyi stuttered a bit,
āThat, uh, about that verification, I donāt know how to do it, Iām afraid I might hold up Martial Uncle Wangās work.ā
Hearing Tao Ruyiās words, Zhou Luye also couldnāt help but pause,
āRight, if we delay Martial Uncle Wangās work, that would be badā¦ā
She then looked urgently at Wang Ba.
Although there was reluctance in her eyes, she decisively said,
āMartial Uncle Wang, although weād like to earn the merit, we donāt know how to do the verification and tabulation you mentioned.
Iām afraid we wouldnāt be of any helpā¦ā
Wang Ba laughed upon hearing this.
This was precisely why he sought out the two of them first; whether they could do it and whether they were willing to be honest about it was very upfront.
However, their concerns were not really a problem.
Indeed, even mortals could do these tasks.
But firstly, having mortals investigate the various divisions of the Five Elements Division would seem rather dismissive of those divisions.
Secondly, there were many places where these cultivators could come and go freely, but mortals could not, unnecessarily causing trouble.
Rather than causing trouble for himself, it would be better to have everything settled from the start.
He then reassured the two of them with some simple words.
Under Wang Baās persuasion, the two of them agreed, somewhat skeptically, to take up positions on his team.
After tactfully declining their warm invitation, Wang Ba then immediately hurried off to Qianliu Peak.
āMartial Uncle Wang, why didnāt you let us know you were coming?
I could have asked Ruyi to cook somethingā¦ā
Upon seeing Wang Ba, Lou Yi revealed a look of surprise and delight.
Wang Ba waved his hand with a smile,
āIāve just come from Ruyiās place.
Thereās something Iād like to ask you, are you interestedā¦?ā
Soon, Wang Ba left with a satisfied smile on his face.
Next, he made his way to Thick Earth Peak, but he didnāt go directly to Zhen Boen; he first visited Hu Zaixi, Martial Uncle Hu.
āWhat brings you here?ā
Hu Zaixi was somewhat surprised.
Wang Ba didnāt hide anything from him and explained his situation at Diwu Hall, concluding with,
āI was thinking, since I need to find people anyway, it might as well be someone familiar.ā
āI came here to see if Martial Uncle Hu might have someone to recommend.ā
Hearing this, Hu Zaixi immediately nodded in approval,
āGood!
There are quite a few in the peak who can only earn merit by doing tasks.ā
However, after thinking for a moment, he suddenly paused, frowning,
āNo, if there are too many from Thick Earth Peak, it would be too conspicuous and could affect youā¦
Last time you went to West Sea Country with Zhen Boen, right?
How about letting him help you out.ā
Wang Ba quickly said, āUncle, I still have some slots availableā¦ā
āNo need, one is enough.
Just the fact that you thought of your uncle makes me very happy,ā Hu Zaixi repeatedly waved his hand.
As they spoke, he called Zhen Boen over in a loud voice.
At that moment, Wang Ba thought of his own increasingly stagnating cultivation in the Five Elements and didnāt waste any time, promptly asking Hu Zaixi for help.
Hu Zaixi didnāt refuse; after inquiring about Wang Baās experience during cultivation, he investigated Wang Baās condition with his mana.
Then he looked slightly concerned:
āOnce you reach the Golden Core Realm, the True Yang Wu Earth Scripture also needs to balance the Golden Core with the external worldā¦ā
āAnother thing, the Mother Qi of Myriad Laws of your Dharma Lineage is too abundant, and it actually suppresses the operation of the Five Elementsā¦ā
Wang Ba frowned,
āBut if I cultivate the Five Elements, the mana will inevitably transform into Mother Qi of Myriad Laws.ā
āThereās not entirely no solution,ā Hu Zaixi pondered for a moment before saying, āEach time you cultivate, you can come here, and Iāll temporarily isolate the Mother Qi of Myriad Laws for you, allowing you to cultivate freely.ā
āThatā¦
wouldnāt that be too much trouble?ā
Wang Ba looked hesitant.
An occasional cultivation session was one thing, but he had only recently entered the early stage of Golden Core, and there was a long road of cultivation ahead.
