Wanfa Peak, a small hut.

The lamp suddenly began to flicker.

The shadows of the two people on the window paper were cast in alternating brightness and darkness.

Yao Wudi looked at Wang Ba with a slightly subdued expression.

Under Yao Wudi’s gaze, Wang Ba did not say a word, he just quietly looked at him.

The atmosphere quietly turned tense.

Suddenly, Yao Wudi burst out laughing.

“Good! As expected of the disciple that I have taken a liking to! You are astute!”

“Now that you’ve guessed it, I won’t hide it from you. West Sea Country is not too far from us, but now with the invasion by the Three Continents, it’s most likely going to be a long-lasting battle. My lifespan is limited, and I used a lot of it up these past two years… If I don’t achieve Immortal Ascension before my time is up, I probably won’t be able to return.”

When Wang Ba heard this, his heart couldn’t help but sink.

He had some inklings, but he never expected Yao Wudi’s situation to be more troublesome than he had imagined.

“Earlier, Master used your power at Yanqiao Pass too…”

Yao Wudi was never one to hide his true feelings. Upon hearing this, he casually replied: “I have prolonged my life too much, and am no longer tolerated by the rules of Heaven and Earth. If I use too much of my power, I will undoubtedly incur damage.”

Wang Ba was quiet for a moment before asking:

“Disciple has studied some palmistry techniques, may Master allow me to take a look?”

“Palmistry?”

Yao Wudi was slightly taken aback, but he immediately stretched out his hand to Wang Ba seemingly unbothered.

Wang Ba lightly held Yao Wudi’s palm, solid like jade and gold, and carefully examined it.

“What’s the result?”

Yao Wudi casually asked.

Wang Ba’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Does he only have 57 years left?

He responded: “Master, better things will come to a virtuous person like you. Your trip to West Sea Country will be safe and sound, and achieving Immortal Ascension is hopeful.”

Yao Wudi chuckled.

He was a reckless man and was not one to dwell on things, but he wasn’t a fool. He knew his obedient disciple was attempting to comfort him.

However, this was his disciple’s good intentions and he didn’t bother to expose it.

After briefly pondering, he said:

“Originally, if I were still in the sect, I could guide you on the Dao of Five Elements and Dao of Wind. However, in a couple of months, I will have to depart for West Sea Country… The practice of cultivation is not to be done in isolation, otherwise it would be a waste of time. Especially in Dharma Lineage, where exploration is broad, it’s best to be as steady and as quick as possible… When do you take your breaks?”

Yao Wudi’s question was unexpected, but Wang Ba quickly replied: “Currently, the Diwu Hall is demanding five times the usual amount of spirit food from the Spirit Food Department… Ministers Cui and He are both in the Spirit Food Department now, I’m afraid they won’t allow me to take a break…”

“Then it will have to be at night. Follow me to Qingmu Peak tomorrow night.”

Yao Wudi made the decision quickly.

Qingmu Peak?

Why was he going there?

Didn’t he just piss on top of their heads not too long ago? Isn’t he afraid they’ll kick him out?

Wang Ba was puzzled.

However, Yao Wudi didn’t bother to explain further and told Wang Ba to go back and practice in order to replenish the energy he spent during the day.

Wang Ba didn’t dare to delay as there was still much to do the next day.

He returned to his room, checked on the Ghost-patterned Stone Lizard as per his usual routine, and noticed its belly was even more bloated.

He purposely went behind to check its cloaca and could see a noticeable bulge.

“Looks like it will lay eggs in the next couple of days…”

Wang Ba nodded slightly.

The reproduction ability of the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard was indeed commendable.

After quickly writing the observation notes,

He began refining the Spiritual Energy, transforming it into Mana, while also transforming the Mana bit by bit into the Mother Qi of Dharmas.

Until dawn.

The Mana within his Dantian was replenished once again.

And the Mother Qi of Dharmas was more than it was before.

…

Because he was concerned about Yao Wudi’s arrangements, Wang Ba hurriedly ate breakfast prepared by Bu Chan and rushed to the Spirit Food Department.

After finishing his work, he guided some of the people in the spirit food preparation while contemplating Yao Wudi’s situation.

He wasn’t clear how to achieve Immortal Ascension or how difficult it would be.

He only knew one thing, that is, if Yao Wudi had sufficient lifespan, the likelihood of achieving Immortal Ascension should increase.

“Lifespan… where can I supplement Master’s lifespan…”

Wang Ba was troubled.

He never thought that there would be a day when he would worry about a lack of lifespan.

Even though the person lacking lifespan was not him… and based on past experiences, everyone whom he transferred lifespan to ended up dead without exception.

Only Spirit Beasts were unaffected.

This meant that he couldn’t help Yao Wudi by transferring lifespan at least not until he understood why recipients of lifespan transfer would explode and die and found a solution, he dared not take a risk with Yao Wudi.

“Wait… The Myriad Treasure Vault is reputed to contain everything, could there be the Spiritual Medicine which prolongs lifespan?”

Wang Ba’s heart skipped a beat and the more he thought, the more likely it seemed.

Without further ado, he immediately informed Cui Daqi, and then rushed off.

Fortunately, the quantity of spirit food he produced daily was second only to the two Ministers and a few Deacons, so nobody minded much.

Before long, Wang Ba had swiftly arrived at the Myriad Treasure Vault on Taiyin Mountain.

As soon as he entered, a yellow-skin gourd flew towards him shouting:

“You dare to come back!”

Wang Ba quickly bowed and said respectfully:

“Forgive me, Spirit of the Treasury. It was my first time entering the treasury and I was unaware of the decorum, accidentally offending the Spirit of the Treasury… Please have mercy on me.”

The yellow-skin gourd circled Wang Ba and eventually said:

“Alright, I’ll forgive you this time…”
