Chapter 1000: Chapter 40 Qiu Zhongqiu_3 Chapter 1000: Chapter 40 Qiu Zhongqiu_3 âThis Ghost Market has only two layers, with the first one being here, and the other one leading directly to the Third layer of other Ghost Markets.â
âHowever, the number of Cultivators here has somewhat exceeded my expectations.â
He spoke with some emotion.
Wang Ba nodded, analyzing:
âMany of them must have fled here from small nations in Chu and Qi.â
Over the years, the Kingdom of Immortals had swept through Qi and Chu.
Although Chu was still barely holding on, everyone knew that it wouldnât last much longer.
Therefore, the more astute Cultivators basically sought ways ahead of time to take refuge in Jin.
However, since Jin itself was strict about incoming Cultivators and many did not meet the criteria, the next best choice for many was Sen StateââŹâa country with vast territory, relatively abundant resources, and a richer environment of Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, with the emergence of ancient Dao Secrets before, another wave of people was attracted, making Sen State as bustling as oil in a flaming pan.
Linglong Ghost Market, despite being called a Ghost Market, was in fact the core of Sen State, naturally brimming with noise and an incessant flow of Cultivators.
...
Wang Ba nodded gently:
âThen letâs head over there!â
Lou Yi quickly packed up the carriage.

Tao Ruyi, Zhou Lve and Wang Baâs new disciple Wang Qingyang followed him as he flew towards the island.
But it was just a moment later.
Wang Ba suddenly felt the Power of the Yin God in his Spiritual Government whirl swiftly.
âHmm?â
He had not yet reacted.
Two figures, one yellow and one green, suddenly flew out from the island below, coming at him one after the other.
When Wang Ba saw the two figures, he was initially stunned, then couldnât help revealing a look of joy.
The two figures, in the blink of an eye, had already landed in front of Wang Ba.
A short-statured yellow-robed Cultivator, looking much like a child, said in surprise and delight:
âWang Ba?!
Is it really you, kid!
I thought I had seen wrong!â
Wang Ba, this time without the calm composure he had in front of Yan Wuxiong, hastily gave a respectful bow:
âDisciple pays respects to Martial Uncle Hu, and to Martial Uncle Ling Weizi.â
The green-robed Cultivator, with hints of green at the tips of his hair, smiled slightly upon hearing this and said in a gentle voice:
âHow did you end up in Sen State?
Shouldnât you be returning to the Sect with Song Dongyang?â
âReplying to Martial Uncle, it was Master who wished for me to go out and temper my heart through experience,â
Wang Ba replied with a smile.
Hearing Wang Baâs words, Ling Weizi and Hu Zaixi were both taken aback:
âYour Master?â
âYour Master isâŚâ
Then both seemed to remember:
âI almost forgot, you have another MasterâŚâ
âYao Wudi, huh, he knows jack!â
Wang Ba, upon hearing this, coughed awkwardly.
He couldnât criticize either his Master or these two, as he owed much to both and couldnât take sides.
However, Ling Weizi spoke disdainfully:
âDonât take my words the wrong way; while he is good at Cultivation, he knows jack about being a Master.
Now is the time for you to lay the foundation; it would be proper to accumulate Mana in the Sect and integrate the Cultivation Methods youâve practiced.
The tempering of your heart should be done when itâs hard to improve your cultivation base, so that you can achieve twice the results with half the effort.â
Hearing Ling Weiziâs words, Wang Ba wanted to prove his Master Yao Wudi had his reasons for sending him out, likely due to concerns over the current acting sect master.
But the topic was too sensitive; after some thought, Wang Ba decided to keep it to himself.
Ling Weizi made a few more pointed remarks, seemingly finding it less satisfying without being able to berate someone face to face.
Soon, he didnât say much more, only beckoning, âCome on, letâs go sit down.â
Hu Zaixi cheerfully led the way for everyone.
But the observant Ling Weizi soon noticed Wang Qingyang among the group, her face showing confusion and curiosity as she looked around.
He frowned and sent a message to Wang Ba:
âThis female Cultivator isâŚâ
Wang Ba quickly explained in a low voice: âMartial Uncle, she is the disciple I just accepted.â
âYou?
Taking a disciple?â
Ling Weizi was surprised, but after a moment of thought, he nodded:
âIndeedââŹÂŚ according to the Sectâs rules, you have already reached Golden Core, which means you have graduated and can accept disciples.â
But he quickly grew concerned again:
âHowever, it seems this female Cultivator already has some cultivation base, and her foundation looks passable.
But studying the Dharma Lineage, that might be a bit difficult, right?â
Wang Ba responded eagerly to seek advice:
âMartial Uncleâs words ring true, and Iâve been considering this issue as wellâŚ
I took her as a disciple mainly because she has some ties to me.
Now that her Soul has vanished and a new soul has been born inside her flesh body, like a blank slate, teaching her shouldnât be difficult.
But her cultivation base is already set, and I am not sure how to resolve that.â
âMartial Uncle, you have raised many disciples, each one outstanding, and I wish to learn from you.â
Hearing Wang Baâs flattery, Ling Weizi appeared indifferent, but his lips involuntarily curved up in a slight smile.
After a short contemplation, he spoke with confidence:
âYou came to me for this matter, haha, and you indeed came to the right person.â
âAfter you return to the Sect, go to the Myriad Cave and purchase a pill called âBone Removing Pill,â then head to the Myriad Library and exchange for a Cultivation Method named âNinefold Luo Heaven,â and teach it to her.â
Wang Ba was curious: âMartial Uncle, what is the use of this?â
Ling Weizi explained one by one:
âThe Bone Removing Pill can completely remove her Golden Core and reconvert it to the Foundation Establishment stage, solidifying her foundation.â
