Chapter 1043 - 1043 53 Appointments and Dismissals_3

Chapter 1043: Chapter 53 Appointments and Dismissals_3 Chapter 1043: Chapter 53 Appointments and Dismissals_3 The two had already been working together for over twenty years, and during the previous scramble for Qi Dynasty’s legacy, Wang Ba had even saved Song Dongyang’s life.

Therefore, Song Dongyang’s attitude toward Wang Ba was naturally extraordinary.

Seeing that Song Dongyang seemed to be in a good mood, Wang Ba also showed a smile, and took the opportunity to change his tone,

“Congratulations to Martial Uncle Song for finally taking this step.”

Song Dongyang laughed freely,

“This step is not an easy one.

I’ve also been in this position for over a hundred years now.

Of course, the main reason this time is thankfully you were there, not only helping me clarify the situation of the twenty-five departments but also, during our outing in Chen State, it was lucky you were there to rescue us.”

“It’s because Martial Uncle Song has good fortune, and I was just at the right place at the right time.”

Wang Ba did not dare to take credit for the deed.

Seeing Wang Ba so cautious and steady, Song Dongyang nodded approvingly.

He then smiled and said,

“Of course, your contributions this time were significant, and I’ve reported them to the Sect.

...

The Sect has given you some merit rewards…”

“Merit rewards?”

Wang Ba’s eyes brightened slightly,

“How many?”

Song Dongyang extended four fingers, “Forty thousand merits.”

Forty thousand?

Wang Ba nodded slightly.

Forty thousand merits could be considered a lot.

After all, a Golden Core Craftsman serving as Deacon only earns thirty merit points a year.

It just so happened that he planned to exchange some Cultivation Methods and treasures from the Myriad Cave and the Myriad Library.

The forty thousand merits could be put to good use.

“However, I rejected this reward.”

Song Dongyang said with a hint of glee.

“?”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but show a puzzled look.

“Rejected it?”

“Why?”

“Ha ha, you, youngster, shouldn’t be lacking in merits, right?

I know that you’ve earned quite a bit from those spirit food recipes alone.”

Song Dongyang revealed an expression of ‘understanding the situation’, then said with a beaming smile,

“So, after some thought, I proposed to the Sect that they arrange a Cultivation Dungeon for you to help enhance your cultivation realm.”

“The time is ten years total, and you can choose any dungeon of Class V or below.”

Upon hearing Song Dongyang’s words, Wang Ba earnestly wanted to say that his merits were indeed not enough!

But when he thought of the ten years in any of the dungeons of Class V or lower, he couldn’t help but feel moved.

In the past, when he was secluded in his breakthrough to the Golden Core, he had also cultivated in the ‘Fragrance Dungeon’ for a few years, which had cost him over seventy thousand merits.

Yet Song Dongyang’s proposal saved him an enormous amount of merits all at once.

With that in mind, Wang Ba thanked Song Dongyang sincerely.

Song Dongyang just waved his hand, “This is the most I can do to help you …

after I leave this position, if my rush to Immortal Ascension is successful, that would be the best outcome.

But if I fail, I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you.”

“By the way, in a few days, there will be a high-ranking Sect gathering.

You happen to be in the Sect, so it would be best not to miss it.”

“A high-ranking gathering, should I also go?”

Wang Ba was a bit surprised.

Song Dongyang, as if it were a matter of course, said,

“You are the Right Enforcer of the Earth Hall, and this gathering will likely decide the new Deputy Master.

Naturally, you should participate.”

Wang Ba showed curiosity,

“A new Vice Hall Master?

Does the Sect have a candidate in mind?”

Song Dongyang shook his head slightly,

“That, I’m not sure of.

Appointment or dismissal at that level requires consultation by the Sect Master and the Elders.

Generally, the candidates are from within the Earth Hall, whether they are Ministers of the twenty-five departments or Enforcers…

You might even stand a chance to be chosen.”

At the end, Song Dongyang could not help but joke.

“Me?”

Wang Ba shook his head repeatedly, saying with a wry smile,

“Martial Uncle is joking, how can there be a Deputy Hall Master of the Earth Hall who is only at Golden Core?”

Upon hearing this, Song Dongyang did not refute.

He had only been jesting before, as he was well aware that the position of Deputy Hall Master of the Earth Hall naturally represents the image of the Sect.

Although one’s cultivation base need not be exceedingly profound, it also cannot be too shabby.

A Golden Core Craftsman acting as Earth Hall Deputy Master would only make others look down upon the Sect.

It would also be difficult to command respect.

In this regard, Wang Ba clearly did not qualify.

The two chatted idly for a while longer.

Wang Ba then took his leave.

On his way out, he stopped by the Spirit Food Department and met with Cui Daqi and the big drinker He.

“Ah, our Spirit Food Department has clearly expanded, yet it looks the same as before.

Xin Zhao never came back, and you, as the Vice Minister, are the same.

It all depends on me and the big drinker He to hold down the fort.”

Cui Daqi complained bitterly.

Wang Ba also felt somewhat ashamed, and consequently stayed at the Spirit Food Department until dark, working together to refine numerous pieces of spirit food.

After finishing, Wang Ba did not immediately return to Myriad Laws Peak.

Instead, he detoured to Wan Xiang Library on Shaoyang Mountain and the Myriad Cave on Taiyin Mountain.

Soon, he had spent nearly twenty thousand points of merit to exchange for the Bone Removing Pill, “Ninefold Luo Heaven,” the Fetus Containing Incarnation Technique, and several other items.

The Bone Removing Pill and “Ninefold Luo Heaven” were to lay a solid foundation for Wang Qingyang.

The “Fetus Containing Incarnation Technique” was to cultivate Yuanci.

Regrettably, he did not see a suitable living creature to serve as a Yuanci Incarnation vessel in the Myriad Cave.

“If there’s a chance, I should make another trip to the Eightfold Sea…

There should be quite a few demonic beasts containing Yuanci there, maybe I will find a suitable one,” Wang Ba thought to himself.

When he returned to Myriad Laws Peak, he immediately began the preliminary practice of “Ninefold Luo Heaven” and the Fetus Containing Incarnation Technique.

Both of these arts were simultaneously cultivation methods and spells, and both were very difficult.

However, after the preliminary practice, with Wang Ba’s experience in cultivating many difficult cultivation methods and spells, he quickly mastered their essence.

This was not because his talent was so great, but rather his experience was simply too rich.

Practice makes perfect, and to understand one is to understand all.

That was the principle at work.

After completing all this, he went directly to Yunguan Courtyard.

“Martial Brother.”

“Master.”

Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang said each in their own turn.

Wang Ba nodded slightly and looked at Wang Qingyang:

“How is it?

Have you become familiar with the Sect’s situation?”

Wang Qingyang nodded her head vigorously.

“Master, I’ve remembered it all!”

Wang Ba looked at Bu Chan, and Bu Chan nodded to him, affirming that Wang Qingyang was not mistaken.

Only then did Wang Ba speak:

“Since you are familiar with the situation, it’s time for your teacher to teach you some things.”

Wang Qingyang’s eyes widened with curiosity, expectantly looking at Wang Ba.

Without any hesitation, Wang Ba stretched out a finger.

With a thought, the Power of the Yin God poured in, and he pointed at Wang Qingyang’s forehead.

In the next moment, Wang Qingyang’s mind shook!

Countless points about “Ninefold Luo Heaven’s” key points and techniques almost instantaneously flooded into her Eyebrows Spirit Government.

Bu Chan, standing by, was taken aback to see Wang Ba withdraw his hand immediately after pointing, without any further action, and she was absolutely astonished.

“Martial Brother, is that, is that all it takes?”

“Yes, no problem.

Let her digest it slowly.

It will be hard on you, Martial Sister, to watch over her,” Wang Ba said softly.

Seeing that Wang Qingyang would probably not be able to digest all the information about “Ninefold Luo Heaven” right away, Wang Ba simply waited in Yunguan Courtyard a little longer.

Until that day, numerous Sound Transmission Talismans arrived in his hands.

The senders of the Sound Transmission Talismans were Song Dongyang, Qi Yan, Ma Shengxu, and others.

“High echelon meeting…

The position of Earth Hall Deputy Master…”

Wang Ba was not particularly interested.

But as the Right Enforcer of Earth Hall, he had to understand even if he did not want to.

After all, he often needed to interact with the Deputy Master.

If the new Deputy Master was easy to talk to, his own affairs would also be much easier.

He immediately rode the Flying Shuttle and headed straight for the Chunyang Palace above the three halls.

Just upon arriving at the great hall outside of Chunyang Palace, he saw several familiar faces.
