Chapter 569: Chapter 22_1
“Is Martial Uncle’s injury something even an Ascended Immortal can’t solve?”
Inside the bamboo house of the Spirit Plant Department.

After a moment of silence, Wang Ba couldn’t help but speak.
“Immortal Ascension?”
The old farmer suddenly chocked and said:
“Summon an Ascended Immortal just for this mere shell?”
“Besides, at that time I was just a Golden Core Craftsman with insignificant merit. How could I possibly invite an Ascended Immortal! Your master at that time was already at his peak, and Invincible Yao’s name was well-known throughout Wu Chu. Ha, even though I was of the same generation as him, I was merely a junior in his eyes. He probably never even gave me a second glance!”
“Old Ma, Senior Brother Yao was not like that…”
Cui Daqi, who was beside him, couldn’t help but interject.
But the old farmer snapped and shouted:
“He was the head of a peak back then, possessing all the resources of that peak. If he had wanted to, he could have easily used his merits to save me. Then I would not have been cast aside!”
Hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but say:
“Martial Uncle… Perhaps it’s not that the master wasn’t willing to treat, but that he himself was stretched too thin.”
“Yes, Senior Brother Yao has always been short on money, and you know that all too well.”
Cui Daqi quickly chimed in to comfort him.
“Humph, Cui Daqi, don’t make excuses for him!”
The old farmer scoffed. He was about to say something when Wang Ba hesitated a moment, then suddenly interjected: “What if I can invite an Ascended Immortal to act for Martial Uncle?”
The old farmer was obviously taken aback, and then he couldn’t help but burst out laughing:
“You?”
“Hahahaha!”
“Don’t think I’m underestimating you, even if your master intervened, it would not necessarily move an Ascended Immortal, let alone a little fellow like you who not even reached the Golden Core yet!”
Cui Daqi couldn’t help but look at Wang Ba, with a helpless expression on his face.
Who would have thought that this young fellow was so fond of boasting?
But that did somewhat resemble his Senior Brother.
However, in the face of the old farmer’s laughter, Wang Ba seemed utterly unphased:
“It won’t be long before my master steps into the realm of Immortal Ascension. At that time, I’ll ask him to heal Martial Uncle…”
“Him? Ascend? ”
The laughter on the old farmer’s face gradually faded, replaced instead by a mocking smirk:
“If he could ascend, he’d have done it by now!”
“Do you know how old he is now? Over two thousand two hundred years old!”
“The spiritual energy of our Jin Empire is rich, yet the norm for a Nascent Soul lifespan is only fifteen hundred years. He’s lived over seven hundred years beyond the typical Nascent Soul lifespan! But there’s not the slightest sign of him ascending… Many life-extending treasures have little effect on him now, and he can only live another seventy or eighty years at most. Yet you really believe that he could ascend.”
Hearing the old farmer’s words shook Wang Ba:
“Master, there’s only seventy or eighty years of lifespan left?”
Seventy or eighty years, to a mortal, is most of a lifetime.
But for a Nascent Soul cultivator, this is but a brief phase.
Wang Ba had long known that Yao Wudi’s lifespan was not much, but he never imagined that he had so little time left.
The old farmer, noticing Wang Ba’s change in expression, realized:
“It seems you didn’t know… Ha, another pitiful one, I’m afraid you have also been deceived by your master.”
In his tone, there seemed to be a touch of sympathy.
Hearing this, Wang Ba finally recovered from his surprise, slowly shook his head and was about to open his mouth.
Cui Daqi beside him quickly sent a sound transmission:
“Wang Ba, say less. He’s in a foul mood right now. If it doesn’t work out, we can go to another peak to buy some Spirit Valley Bran or something.”
Wang Ba also sent a sound transmission back: “Don’t worry, Martial Uncle Cui, I know what I’m doing.”
Hearing this, Cui Daqi nodded.
Since Wang Ba joined the Spirit Food Department, he had noticed that compared to Yao Wudi’s flamboyance, Wang Ba was indeed much more steady and aware of the bigger picture.
He was very relieved about that.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Wang Ba retort without any courtesy:
“What Martial Uncle Ma said, perhaps due to being injured by the master, is inevitably biased.”
Cui Daqi, who was beside him, instantly saw black.
Is this the reassurance you were talking about?
You’re jabbing right at his sore spot!
As expected, the old farmer immediately roared back: “I’m biased?! It was your master who wrecked me, and you say I’m biased?!”
Unexpectedly, Wang Ba remained calm and said in a deep voice:
“Whether or not you are biased, Martial Uncle can examine his own conscience to find out. What I want to say is, the mistake has already been made. We either carry it through, or we find a way to solve it. These principles, Martial Uncle must understand better than me. All I want is to help Martial Uncle to solve this issue and make up for the mistake my master made. Whether my master can achieve Immortal Ascension or not, doesn’t really matter in this case. If he can do it, we would ask him to intervene. If not … then it’s my responsibility.”
Seeing Wang Ba’s sincere look and hearing the sincerity in his voice,
Cui Daqi beside him was slightly moved.
The old farmer also paused, but then he couldn’t help but scoff saying:
“You do it? Hmph, I’ve already told you, you’re nothing more than a Foundation Establishment cultivator…”
However, Wang Ba interrupted him straight away, looking directly at the old farmer and said seriously:
“Did the Ascended Immortals not all begin from the Foundation Establishment stage?”
“Although I have an average talent, the Sect chose to take me in, so it seems that even if I’m dull, I’m not without potential. If I can’t achieve Foundation Establishment, then I’ll aim for Golden Core, if I can’t reach Golden Core, then it’s Nascent Soul!”
“If even Nascent Soul isn’t achievable… Well, it’s a disgrace, but I do have a little bit of talent in Beast Control and Spiritual Cooking. Accumulating merit shouldn’t be too hard, and I will spend all my savings if necessary, but I will invite an Ascended Immortal to cure Martial Uncle.”
