Chapter 1510: Chapter 77: Settling the Mind_3

Although there might not be too much difference, this is ultimately a gesture of care from Bu Chan as a master’s wife.

Everyone present was well aware, hence Wang Qingyang strongly opposed, while Wang Yi’an was indecisive.

As for Wang Ba… he didn’t really have any thoughts on the matter.

Seeing Wang Ba making a decision, Bu Chan couldn’t help but reveal a skeptical look:

“Can you really handle it? External help can’t intervene in Crossing Tribulation, what can a chicken raiser like you possibly do? You can fool me all you want, but don’t delay Qingyang’s progress.”

Hearing this, even Wang Yi’an’s gaze towards him held a trace of doubt.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba’s face darkened involuntarily.

After all, he is the Vice Hall Master of the sect, who would be the Sect Master of Wanxiang Sect if he had not vehemently declined.

Almost all disciples within the sect respect him; yet, in Bu Chan’s eyes, he was merely a ‘chicken raiser’.

“After being an old couple, does everything really change to this extent? It wasn’t like this in the past…”

He vividly remembered how Bu Chan’s eyes used to shine when she looked at him, now all he hears is full of disdain.

Wang Ba felt helpless in his heart.

But seeing the increasingly undeniable reluctance in Bu Chan’s gaze towards him, he could only shake his head:

“I will lend you a helping hand.”

With that said, he waved his sleeve.

In an instant, black stones filled with jumping purple sparks and honeycomb-like pores were laid around Bu Chan.

Following that, Wang Ba lightly tapped his finger, causing the Spirit Gathering Array on Wanfa Peak to quickly contract, enveloping the position where Bu Chan was.

Then, without being stingy, he crushed a large amount of Class IV Elixirs and spirit food with mana, scattering them around like he didn’t need Spirit Stones, swiftly spreading throughout the entire Spirit Gathering Array.

In a moment, the concentration of Spiritual Energy around Bu Chan was so intense that it even made Wang Yi’an, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, feel suffocated.

He couldn’t help but widen his eyes:

“This is the helping hand you mentioned?”

“This, this is clearly the power of Spirit Stones, right?”

So much spirit food and Elixirs, their value alone could probably pile up several Nascent Souls!

Not to mention those Thunder Urgency Stones, it’s unknown how many Thunder Tribulations it would take to refine these stones.

Seeing Wang Ba digging deep and bringing out some of his reserves, Bu Chan gave Wang Ba a cold look, but ultimately didn’t say anything further, only a tender look flashed through her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she then initiated the Thunder Tribulation.

Above in the sky, the clouds thickened…

However, the process of Crossing Tribulation was rather unremarkable.

Although Bu Chan had not fully reached peak completion, her profound foundation made enduring part of the Thunder Tribulation not a difficult task.

Now, with the massive supply of Elixirs and spirit food, during the intervals between the two Thunder Tribulations, the treasures invested by Wang Ba at no cost instantly restored Bu Chan.

The various types of spirit items even consumed less than twenty percent.

Bu Chan successfully transmuted her core into Nascent Soul, stepping into the Nascent Soul Realm.

This simplistic and rudimentary method of Crossing Tribulation left the truly struggling Wang Yi’an in silence for a time.

On the contrary, Wang Qingyang’s approaching Tribulation was fraught with dangers.

Due to Wang Qingyang’s profound foundations, the power of his Thunder Tribulation was not comparable to Bu Chan’s.

Even with massive support from spirit items, the might of the Thunder Tribulation nearly obliterated his body and soul.

However, the resilience of Wang Qingyang’s soul, after practicing the Dharma Lineage, became even more remarkable.

In the end, he withstood the Thunder Tribulation and successfully stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm.

When the Core Becomes Nascent Soul, the seven-colored lights overflow and scatter.

It caught the attention of many cultivators within the sect.

Pure Yang Palace and Taihe Palace, along with the Three Halls and Four Mountains, all sent gifts to celebrate Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang’s successful Crossing of Tribulation and their step into the Nascent Soul realm.

Undoubtedly, it was because Nascent Soul cultivators are precious in the sect, but also because these two, one is the Deputy Sect Master’s Dao partner, and the other is the Deputy Sect Master’s direct disciple.

Almost no one dared to neglect them.

On the same day he successfully crossed the tribulation, Wang Qingyang was also awarded the position of Deacon of Tianyuan Hall.

However, any perceptive person could see that it would only be a matter of time before this heir of the Dharma Lineage took over as Vice Hall Master of Tianyuan Hall.

The smooth Crossing Tribulation of Bu Chan and Wang Qingyang also settled an important concern of Wang Ba.

Overjoyed, and with Zhao Feng and Wang Yi’an’s return, he unusually invited some acquaintances for a banquet, such as Tao Ruyi, Zhou Lve, Lou Yi, Ji Yuan, Xi Wushang, and others.

However, as usual, Tao Ruyi was in charge of cooking.

This Golden Core chef’s skills are now increasingly sublime; usually, he seldom cooks personally, spending most of his time on cultivation and instructing the disciples of Shixian Peak.

But upon hearing of Wang Ba setting up a banquet, he immediately volunteered to come.

Soon, the banquet started.

The people, separated by many years, although mostly interacting within the sect, some were busy with cultivation or other matters, and had become somewhat estranged from each other.

Wang Ba brought out top-notch spirit wine, which quickly renewed their familiarity with each other.

Some of the restraint due to differences in status and identity was also significantly dissolved.

“The last time we gathered was over a hundred years ago, before the cataclysm…”

Xi Wushang looked at the familiar faces around him and couldn’t help but sigh.

As time flies, compared to the last gathering, everyone’s mindset had changed significantly.

“Yes, it seems someone is missing.”

Ji Yuan glanced around, slightly puzzled.

Lou Yi looked at the empty chair beside him.

His expression slightly somber.

“It’s Boen, Boen is no longer with us.”

The individuals at the banquet fell into a slight silence upon hearing this.

The atmosphere also became heavier.

Zhen Boen was already quite old, barely managed to step into the Golden Core just before reaching the end of his lifespan, and now a hundred years have passed. Additionally, due to hidden injuries during cultivation, when he went into seclusion years ago, he ultimately didn’t breakthrough successfully.

He became the first among those present to be absent.

Lou Yi, aware of his oversight, quickly apologized:

“Boen, he…”

Wang Ba gently waved his hand, picked up a cup of wine, and stood up to toast towards the once occupied position of Zhen Boen.

Seeing this, others also followed suit.

Cultivators prioritize the soul over the physical form; this is enough.

The people did not dwell in sorrow for too long, and soon the toasts and merriment resumed.

It was only when the wine was at its peak.

Zhao Feng suddenly looked towards Wang Ba and said something that made the entire banquet fall silent:

“Although we have wine and dishes, it’s somewhat dull. Junior Brother, would you be willing to have a little spar with me for everyone’s entertainment?”
