Chapter 796 - 759: My Desire to Build a Foundation

Chapter 796: Chapter 759: My Desire to Build a Foundation

“I’ll handle it, Sect Master, you can rest assured,” Fang Zaiji thumped his chest and assured.

“My judgment far surpasses Elder Liu. I would never make mistakes. I bet, without a doubt, that all these young ones are rare cultivation talents,” he said confidently.

“I traveled through more than a dozen states before finding these few. You can imagine how difficult this journey has been,” Fang Zaiji sighed deeply.

“You didn’t just pluck these kids without any notice, did you?” Looking at the many crying children, Liu San’s face was not so pleased.

“What a joke, the path to immortality is something many mortals cannot even dream of walking. I led them kindly, would I need their parents’ approval?” Fang Zaiji gave Liu San a dismissive look, and stated confidently.

“Additionally, our Medicine King Sect is currently in a state of retreat from the world. Of course, we must be more discreet in our actions.”

...

The conversation left Liu San speechless.

“Since Mr. Fang has found them, it means they bear a connection with our Medicine King Sect. I trust Mr. Fang’s judgment,” Xu Bai coughed lightly and made his decision.

“Unlike the ancient times, countless cultivators from myriad sects wandered across the world to select disciples. The Alliance of Thousands of Immortals governs with inaction, and whoever walks the path of cultivation depends entirely upon their destiny. Therefore, many individuals of extraordinary talent remain undiscovered.”

“This could present an opportunity for our Medicine King Sect.”

Hearing this, Liu San’s eyes lit up, “The Sect Master is indeed wise.”

“Taking care of these disciples will be up to you Elder Liu. First, teach them the methods of cultivation until they start refining energy…”

As Xu Bai was about to continue, a sudden inspiration arose within him.

After pondering for a moment, he changed his mind: “When they first learn about the methods of cultivation, do not teach them about [Utilizing the Wonder of Heaven and Earth to Build the Tao Foundation].”

“Instead, just tell them about [Melting their body to Build the Tao Foundation].”

Hearing this, both Liu San and Fang Zaiji were taken aback.

Both were not dull, and immediately understood Xu Bai’s intentions.

“Brilliant, in this way, if any of them manage to establish their foundation successfully, they would have achieved [Building the Foundation with Me],” Fang Zaiji exclaimed enthusiastically.

Liu San, on the other hand, was a little hesitant, “Sect Master, isn’t this a bit…”

Xu Bai responded with a mild smile, “If they really cannot build the foundation and have completely given up, it won’t be too late to tell them the truth.”

Seeing Xu Bai so determined, Liu San had no choice but to agree.

After explaining in greater detail to Liu San about [Building Foundation with Me], Xu Bai suddenly asked, “By the way, why haven’t I seen Elder Jiang?”

“I had clearly sensed her presence being returned.”

Fang Zaiji immediately took delight in Jiang Yushan’s plight, “She got herself into a fight and ended up losing badly. Mortified, she decided to close herself off for rigorous cultivation.”

“Ha, I heard the other party was female, even more attractive than her, and she also mocked her. It would be surprising if Yushan didn’t get infuriated.”

“Finally, we can get some peace from her shrill voice for a while.” Fang Zaiji appeared to be highly relieved.

However, Liu San’s face turned slightly grim, “What? Why didn’t you mention such an important matter, Mr. Fang? Did Yushan get injured?”

With that, Liu San, looking somewhat anxious, put aside the tasks Xu Bai had assigned to him, and quickly flew off to check on Jiang Yushan.

Fang Zaiji snorted, “I don’t get it, what does Liu San see in that woman?”

“Since Elder Jiang has decided to isolate herself and cultivate, then the task of creating the Endplate will be left to you, Mr. Fang,” said Xu Bai, breaking Fang Zaiji’s train of thoughts.

“With your capabilities, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Xu Bai looked at him with a sense of anticipation.

Being assigned laborious work, instead of showing annoyance, Fang Zaiji was overjoyed, “No problem, of course, no problem! The Endplate, is a magnificent item that can rival Immortal Instruments. I always thought that Yushan was a bit too rough handling it.”

“You can rest assured, Sect Master, I will treat it gently.”

Fang Zaiji looked at Xu Bai eagerly.

Xu Bai smiled, tossing the Endplate to him.

Without waiting for instructions, Fang Zaiji, treasure in hand, happily left.

Only then did Xu Bai turn his gaze towards these children in the square.

If his true self were present, he would find their crying extraordinarily annoying.

But Xu Bai, while looking at these rowdy children, did not feel the slightest annoyance.

Instead, his heart was filled with a sense of pity and caring.

Xu Bai silently explored the cause of these emotions.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he slowly levitated towards the crowd of children.

His gentle manners and celestial-like look immediately caught all the children’s attention, and they quickly calmed down. Their eyes widened and they looked towards Xu Bai in unison.

Xu Bai interacted with the children in a very friendly way.

After learning all their names and respective cultivation talents in an instant chatter, he praised Fang Zaiji’s efforts and ability in recruiting remarkable talents.

“Indeed, these children’s talents are almost on par with Zhang Haobo’s.”

“And Gu Xinghan…” Xu Bai identified a somewhat familiar name amongst these children. The name matched that of the cultivator from his previous life, who revealed the authenticity of the [Tian Xuan Soul Locking Array] to the world through a call-to-arms.

The lengthy and passionate text of the call-to-arms suddenly appeared in Xu Bai’s consciousness.

As he looked at the five-year-old child before him, the two figures gradually overlapped in his mind.

“So, it is him. Interesting.”

In his previous life, Gu Xinghan, as one of the leaders of the Overturning Heaven Society, led countless cultivators to challenge the Xuannet and, yet, never got captured by the Sky Alliance.

His abilities are undoubted.

“It seems, perhaps this kid might bring me some surprises,” Xu Bai gently patted Gu Xinghan’s shoulder, his smile intensifying.

Later, a dejected Liu San returned.

Apparently, he had not even seen Jiang Yushan.

He braced himself and, with a solemn face, began dealing with the crowd of children.

Thanks to Xu Bai’s earlier efforts, the children were a lot more obedient.

When Xu Bai was leaving, they all waved happily at him.

This left Liu San amazed.

Instead of returning to the Sky-spirit State, Xu Bai retreated to the Secret Room within the Valley of Eternal Life.

There was a sudden uncertainty about a thought that had flashed in his mind.

He needed to calm down and think it out carefully.

“Should I use this body, perform the ritual, and enter the Fallen Immortal Realm?”

This idea had suddenly occurred to him when he faced the children.

If Mr. Bai was as kind to children as Xu Ke had said, he should certainly be a “good person”.

Given that, how would it be if I were to use this body to enter the Fallen Immortal Realm?
