NOVPUBThere was also a heavily injured hybrid White Tiger that he didn’t release, planning to later go to Shou Peak to find Martial Uncle Qi Yan.
Compared to the Wu Monkey King, the hybrid White Tiger’s injuries were even more severe. Wang Ba had barely managed to save its life but when it came to treating its injuries, he had no idea where to start.
As soon as he thought of it, he acted.
Wang Ba quickly packed up and prepared a gift before directly flying towards Shou Peak.
However, when he arrived and inquired, he found out that Martial Uncle Qi Yan had recently always been in the Beast Department.
"Has the workload increased again recently?"
Wang Ba felt somewhat puzzled.
He oversaw the archives of all twenty-five departments and was very clear about the production status of each.
The tasks of the Beast Department had already been heavy.
But because Wang Ba had improved some of the work processes within the Beast Department, the efficiency had increased significantly. As the Minister, Qi Yan basically checked things off and then quickly left every day.
It wasn’t just about staying at the Beast Department to work; even fulfilling his time there was difficult.
However, it had been over a year since he was there, and he wasn’t sure if any changes had occurred in the meantime.
He immediately headed to the Beast Department.
As the Vice Minister of the Beast Department, as soon as Wang Ba arrived at the department’s location, many cultivators from the Beast Department greeted Wang Ba warmly. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Wang Ba smiled and nodded in response.
Under the guidance of a deacon from the Beast Department, he directly found Qi Yan.
The other party was dressed in splendid robes, sitting alone in a luxurious room, sipping tea delicately while flipping through books.
He looked completely at ease, not at all like someone burdened with work.
Although Wang Ba felt puzzled, he still approached and gave a slight bow immediately:
"Martial Uncle."
Qi Yan was somewhat surprised to see Wang Ba:
"I didn’t hear news of your return. Sit down, Mo Qi, make some tea."
"No need, no need."
Wang Ba quickly waved his hand.
But Mo Qi, with a cold face, had already brought in the tea.
Wang Ba looked towards Mo Qi, but the latter didn’t make eye contact, looking straight ahead, prompting Wang Ba to sigh inwardly.
"I heard from an enforcer of Diwu Hall that your recent mission to Chen State was quite perilous, wasn’t it?"
Qi Yan started the conversation.
Wang Ba didn’t conceal much, and he briefly recounted the experiences he encountered in Chen State.
Although he spoke succinctly, a light of awe still flickered in Qi Yan’s eyes occasionally.
Mo Qi, who had not left in time and overheard the story of Wang Ba encountering the evil gods of the Kingdom of Immortals and escaping with a Nascent Soul cultivator, turned pale abruptly, a look of disbelief emerging on his face.
Escaping in the presence of an evil god akin to an Immortal Ascension stage being, with a Nascent Soul cultivator in tow?!
Had he reached that level?!
But... wasn’t he only in the early stages of Golden Core?
Was he really not boasting?
At that moment, looking at his teacher absorbed in listening, he truly felt the urge to remind him.
However, he quickly remembered the several unforgettable "face-slapping" incidents he had suffered at the hands of Wang Ba...
Hesitating for a moment, he ultimately stayed silent.
"Forget it, even though teacher admires him more, right now, the teacher is probably just minding face, not willing to expose him directly."
With these thoughts in mind, he left the room.
After Mo Qi left the room.
Wang Ba curiously asked:
"I just made a trip to Shou Peak, and the brothers there told me you’ve stayed at the Beast Department for quite a while without going back. Has the workload increased recently?"
As the Vice Minister of the Beast Department, it wasn’t abrupt for him to ask these questions.
Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Qi Yan shook his head slightly:
"It’s the same as before you left, no increase. I’m staying at the Beast Department not because of missions assigned by the Sect."
"Oh?"
Sensing that Qi Yan had more to say, Wang Ba listened quietly.
Sure enough, Qi Yan openly said:
"My cultivation has hit a bottleneck, yet I can’t seem to comprehend the final key point of the Dao Secret. Now, I can only try to vie for the position of Earth Hall Deputy Master, hoping to use the Sect’s resources for one last effort."
"Deputy Master?"
Wang Ba was first taken aback, then he understood.
Martial Uncle Qi was showing his dedication to the Sect.
After all, the position of Earth Hall Deputy Master could concede in other aspects, but the ability to handle miscellaneous matters was a strict threshold.
He then curiously asked:
"I remember Martial Uncle mentioning last time that Fu seemed to be of help in your Cultivation..."
An awkward expression momentarily flashed across Qi Yan’s face.
"Ahem, that is indeed the case."
"But after all, it’s still missing something. If I could come in contact with a pure and unadulterated lineage derived from Fu’s bloodline, perhaps I might gain some enlightenment and condense the Dao Secret."
"Pure and unadulterated lineage?"
Wang Ba suddenly stopped in his tracks.
What Martial Uncle Qi Yan was talking about, why did it feel so familiar?
