Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant - Chapter 230
Chapter 230: Chapter 40 Failure_2
In such a situation, even if he failed, there was nothing to say.
The only thing that regretted Wang Ba was that he was only four questions away from getting a place. This was indeed a disgusting thing. Even if he didn’t know all the answers, it would be better than just missing four questions to pass!
At least he wouldn’t be so unwilling.
Of course, he also felt a little sorry for Tang Ji, who recommended him.
“Sigh- – let’s go!”
Gathering his emotions, Wang Ba no longer dwells on it and leaves Baiwen Tower with large strides, stepping into the Teleportation Array.
Soon, Wang Ba’s figure disappeared within the Teleportation Array.
He walked out of the palace.
Unexpectedly for Wang Ba, the old man in brocade, who was the manager of the second stage of the Ghost Market, voluntarily nodded at him.
Wang Ba did not understand the reason, but he quickly remembered what happened inside Baiwen Tower.
He was somewhat pensive.
He immediately replied with a smile.
However, there was nothing to chat about, so he took his leave.
As Wang Ba’s figure disappeared into the crowd, a faint blue figure quietly emerged next to the old man in brocade clothes. It was indeed Tang Ji.
What was surprising was that the numerous cultivators around seemed completely oblivious to his presence.
He casually walked up to the old man in brocade, his demeanor relaxed, only revealing a trace of regret in his eyes when he saw Wang Ba’s figure:
“He only got a few irrelevant questions wrong, sigh, what a pity!”
“It’s just that those old farts are too persistent about the rules.”
“Otherwise, within less than a hundred years, Senior Brother Qi might have another Inner Sect Disciple.”
Upon hearing these words, the old man in brocade was surprised and couldn’t help saying, “Master, I have observed this man with the ‘Mystic Eye,1 while his foundation seems to be quite profound, he surely doesn’t deserve such admiration from you?”
“In comparison, the Sword Cultivator currently in Bailian Tower seems to have greater potential.”
“Huh, why not?”
Refuted by his disciple face-to-face, Tang Ji did not get angry, but rather chuckled: “Your ‘Mystic Eye’ is far from fully trained.”
The old man in brocade immediately disagreed: “Master, how can you tell?”
“Because you only noticed that this lad has a profound foundation, but you didn’t realize that he is a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.”
Tang Ji shook his head.
Upon hearing these words, the old man in brocade was suddenly taken aback and somewhat incredulous: “He? A Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? How is that possible? Even I am not…”
“Your disbelief is quite normal, as your lineage does not attach much importance to these matters.”
Tang Ji waved his hand and casually said: “However, Senior Brother Qi’s lineage is not the same. This lad is good at cultivating Spirit Beasts and is a rare Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment despite being a Rogue Cultivator. He’s exactly suitable for following him… It’s a pity that those old fellows are just too rigid.”
Hearing Tang Ji’s words, the old man in brocade seemed to be still immersed in the shock of Wang Ba being a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
“It can’t be, where would a Rogue Cultivator get so much Spirit Food…”
“Alright, stop being envious. So what if he’s not a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment? At most, he will lack one Talent Spell during Core Formation and his Core Grade will not reach the peak, no matter, don’t pay attention to these minor details.”
Tang Ji was just hitting where it hurt, smilingly said.
The old man in brocade immediately turned black.
If the man before him was not his master, or if he couldn’t defeat him, he really could not resist wanting to…
Of course, it’s just a thought. If those old guys knew about his thoughts, he’d probably be punished right away.
“Back to serious matters. Your assignment here in Yan State is to find and recruit useful people. Don’t always wear a sour face. If it wasn’t for me here before, the Golden Core Craftsman would have taken a shot at you. Won’t you be at a loss?”
Tang Ji seriously said.
The old man in brocade heard these words but dismissed it: “It’s just a Rogue Golden Core Craftsman. Even if I can’t defeat him, I can easily suppress him with the formation in the market.”
But Tang Ji was immediately angered by his reckless attitude: “Suppress? Suppress what? All you think about is fighting and killing, you might as well go block the flood!”
The old man in brocade immediately stopped talking. Blocking the flood? Only a madman would go, even the three continents couldn’t block it, who does he think he is?
“I tell you, that Sword Cultivator in Bailian Tower, he’s a fine talent, one that only comes along once every fifty years in this Yan State branch market. Don’t drag him into your lineage! You all might just turn him into a fool!”
Tang Ji lost his usual composure and protested:
“And moreover, control your temper. Your master won’t be able to help you every time, especially now that your fellow masters are about to report back, tying me down to watch them for them, you’d better not provoke any powerful person, so as to avoid the risk I can’t get to you in time and you end up losing your life!”
The old man in brocade reluctantly nodded upon hearing these words.
Tang Ji quickly regained his leisurely attitude.
“Alright, enough said, I’ll go first!”
With that, he quietly disappeared from the side of the old man in brocade.
Yet, no one around seemed to notice.
Wang Ba set up a stand for another two days.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. The method for the second dantian that he was hoping for still had no clues.
In the end, he simply could not wait any longer and closed his stand, visiting nearly every stand in the Ghost Market.
In the process, he once again acquired some Spirit Beasts that he had not encountered before, as well as a variety of scrolls, ordinary but practical spells, Spirit Plant seeds, and so on.
Aside from these, he also gathered some materials.
These materials were thought out over the last few days, and they could help Jia 15 and Jia 16, the two Spirit Chickens, with their Bloodline Breakthrough..
