A thought struck him.
Wang Ba immediately realized.
Pure and singular bloodline, inherited directly from Fu.
"Isn’t this a Pure Color Stone Dragon Lizard!"
At this moment, Qi Yan said with a hint of regret,
"If only there was a giant Stone Lizard compatible with Fu’s bloodline, perhaps its purity could be refined. It’s just that it would take too long, and I’m afraid I might not live to see that day."
"However, it’s fortunate that Song Dongyang is about to step down and the position of Earth Hall Deputy Master will be vacant. If I could earn that position, with the Sect’s help, maybe there’s a chance to glimpse Immortal Ascension..."
There was a sigh in his voice.
Upon hearing these words, Wang Ba hesitated before asking,
"May I ask Martial Uncle, if there’s a Stone Lizard with a pure and singular bloodline, what are the chances of consolidating the Dao Secret?"
Qi Yan frowned and said,
"Not necessarily ten out of ten, but there’s a good eighty or ninety percent chance..."
Suddenly, he realized something and looked at Wang Ba with suspicion. But after a moment’s thought, he dismissed the possibility as unlikely.
He even included a rare tease in his tone,
"You’re not going to tell me you have one."
A look of genuine admiration appeared on Wang Ba’s face,
"Martial Uncle is indeed far-sighted!"
Qi Yan was startled and couldn’t quite believe his ears,
"No way, you... you really have one?"
A smile appeared on Wang Ba’s face,
"Hehe, it was quite the coincidence. When I found Fu, I discovered those as well..."
Listening to Wang Ba’s explanation full of holes, Qi Yan was somewhat speechless.
But he quickly grasped the important point,
"Those?"
Wang Ba nodded.
It was only a matter of time before the Hundred Colored Stone Lizards had to be brought out. If they could help Martial Uncle Qi step into Immortal Ascension, now was the right time to reveal them.
"There are about six types, which one does Martial Uncle need?"
The six Pure Color Stone Dragon Lizards represented Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind.
"Six types?!"
Even though Qi Yan had braced himself, the number still made his heart tremble involuntarily.
He couldn’t help but take this seriously.
It was a matter concerning the condensation of the Dao Secret, and even the most detached cultivator couldn’t stay calm facing such a significant event.
Especially since he was only a hair’s breadth away from condensing the Dao Secret himself.
With the pure and singular bloodline Stone Lizards Wang Ba mentioned, which would validate his own studies, condensing the Dao Secret would no longer be difficult; afterwards, he could prepare for the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Thinking of this, even Qi Yan, who usually didn’t show much emotion, couldn’t help but look a bit embarrassed as he tentatively said,
"That... could I possibly take two types?"
One pureblood Stone Lizard gave him eighty or ninety percent confidence, but with more Stone Lizards to compare, he had complete confidence of condensing the Dao Secret.
He did not want to miss this opportunity.
"What did Martial Uncle just say?"
Yet Wang Ba furrowed his brows.
Seeing Wang Ba’s frown, and knowing that it was a critical matter of cultivation, Qi Yan subconsciously tensed up and quickly said,
"One type, one type is enough."
But Wang Ba shook his head emphatically and replied seriously,
"Even one is not acceptable."
Qi Yan choked upon hearing this,
"Uh, Wang Ba, you can be assured I won’t..."
Wang Ba, however, continued,
"Martial Uncle, such an important matter of consolidating the Dao Secret, if this disciple can help, it would be my honor. How could one be enough? You must take them all!"
"Please wait, Martial Uncle, I will fetch them for you right away."
"Huh?"
Qi Yan wore a look of astonishment.
But then he remembered Wang Ba’s past behavior and finally came to his senses.
"I was flustered. Knowing Wang Ba’s past magnanimity, how could he begrudge or trouble me."
Qi Yan silently shook his head.
Before he could offer an explanation,
Wang Ba was already speeding away on his Flying Shuttle.
Watching Wang Ba’s retreating figure, Qi Yan couldn’t help but feel a warm surge in his heart.
It wasn’t long before Wang Ba hurried back.
He placed a Spirit Beast Bag into Qi Yan’s hands.
As Qi Yan’s Spiritual Sense swept through it, a glimmer of Spiritual Light flashed in his eyes.
A look of surprise quickly appeared on his face!
"They really are pureblood Stone Dragon Lizards!"
"And they actually each correspond to one of the Five Elements and Wind Style!"
"Good! Excellent!"
Qi Yan praised repeatedly.
However, thinking of something, he quickly looked up at Wang Ba and said,
"Don’t worry, I’ll use them for enlightenment and will try my best not to harm them."
Wang Ba simply laughed and said,
"What is Martial Uncle talking about? Now that these Stone Lizards have been entrusted to you, they are at your disposal. If that’s not enough, just let me know, and I will do my utmost to lend Martial Uncle a hand!"
A genuine smile spread across Qi Yan’s face.
Then Wang Ba took the opportunity to ask Qi Yan for some advice on healing Spirit Beasts and conveniently brought out the Hybrid White Tiger.
"The White Tiger is naturally fierce, and so is the Hybrid White Tiger. Using ordinary Healing Medicine will only be negated by its Killing Intent. Strong medicine should be used; it can have miraculous effects..."
Qi Yan earnestly instructed.
Wang Ba had a sudden realization, and then he put the Hybrid White Tiger away.
He had intended to ask Qi Yan to help with the treatment, but since Qi Yan was preparing for Immortal Ascension, he didn’t want to distract him. He decided to learn the technique himself and ponder it further afterward.
However, Qi Yan then took the Hybrid White Tiger back.
"I’m about to go into seclusion, and I might not have the chance to treat it. But, I can entrust it to my master."
Wang Ba thought about it and didn’t refuse Qi Yan’s kind offer.
After exchanging a few more words, Wang Ba finally took his leave.
Watching Wang Ba’s departing figure, Qi Yan stood with his hands behind his back on the second floor and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh:
