However, in these countries, statues of Wang Ba could still be seen.
Wang Ba pondered for a moment and did not intervene immediately.
Instead, he first replenished the Spirit Stones to ensure that the ’sun’ within this Dungeon could continue to operate.
"I need to think of a way to acquire more power of Incense Fire."
After pondering for a while, he still had no additional clues.
Not long after, Bu Chan finally returned with Wang Qingyang and Wang Yi’an.
Wang Ba keenly noticed that in just half a day’s time, Wang Qingyang’s appearance had become more mature, from looking like she was twenty-three or four, now she looked to be twenty-seven or eight years old.
"It seems her Ninefold Luo Heaven is about to make a breakthrough again."
Wang Ba was not surprised at all.
This was also a normal occurrence in the process of cultivating Ninefold Luo Heaven.
This time, Wang Ba and Bu Chan personally cooked, though mainly Bu Chan was doing the cooking, while he assisted. Both being cultivators, they were very fast, preparing a large table full of dishes.
They also called over Li Yingfu, Tao Ruyi, Zhou Lve, Lou Yi, the newly advanced Golden Core cultivator Zhen Boen, and acquaintances like Martial Uncle Qi Yan, Martial Uncle Ma Shengxu, Martial Uncle Wei Rong, and others.
It was a simple banquet to celebrate taking on a disciple, formally announcing the existence of the disciple Wang Qingyang to Wang Ba’s close friends and family.
"Since it’s a banquet to celebrate taking on a disciple, why didn’t you tell me in advance so I could prepare a gift? Look at how you handled this…"
Ma Shengxu said somewhat annoyed.
"Indeed, taking a disciple is a major event."
Qi Yan couldn’t help but shake his head.
Seemingly thinking of something, he glanced over at Wang Ba and sighed inwardly.
Taking a disciple was a commitment for life!
He had deep experience with this.
"Now that Martial Uncle holds the position of Earth Hall Deputy Master, just your presence is a great honor, so what need is there for a gift? Qingyang, come and meet your various Martial Uncle Ancestors."
Wang Ba said laughingly.
"Qingyang greets the Martial Uncle Ancestors."
Wang Qingyang performed a greeting as Bu Chan had previously taught her, toward Ma Shengxu.
Ma Shengxu, noticing the aura on Wang Qingyang, was also somewhat surprised, but he seemed to realize something, pondered for a moment, and then took out a Spirit Grass from his sleeve.
"This grass can help you quickly break through the Golden Core bottleneck…"
"Thank you, Martial Uncle Ancestor."
A sweet smile couldn’t help but appear on Wang Qingyang’s pretty face.
Her thoughts were simple, and she was genuinely happy to receive the gift.
Seeing this, the other Martial Uncles also gave Wang Qingyang some gifts.
Although they were not particularly valuable,
they made Wang Yi’an somewhat enviously watch.
But as he looked at Wang Qingyang’s mature and attractive face, the envy in his heart faded away.
After a busy half-day.
The banquet finally ended, and the guests dispersed.
Wang Yi’an volunteered to take the curious Wang Qingyang, who was new to Myriad Laws Peak and marveling at everything, on a tour of Wang Ba’s spirit beast ground.
Meanwhile, Wang Ba returned to the house with Bu Chan, set up a Formation to isolate the sounds from inside and outside the house.
"Do you have something to discuss, Senior Brother?"
Bu Chan was a bit perplexed.
Wang Ba, without changing his expression:
"Ahem, I’ve recently learned a Cultivation Method and I thought to seek Junior Sister’s opinion on it."
"Then why do you need to…"
"Ahem, this is a Dual Cultivation Method."
"Hmm…"
Half a month later.
Wang Ba stepped out from the house.
He felt his Soul and Mana within him had both significantly improved, full of vigour and strength.
"The Spiritually Dual Cultivation method is indeed extraordinary."
Although the improvement was significant, mostly because it was the first experience of Spiritual Dual Cultivation, the subsequent benefits were far less dramatic than the first one, but their dual cultivation progress was much faster than cultivating alone.
"If in the Dungeon, combined with Spiritual Dual Cultivation, the speed of cultivation might be even more impressive."
"When the opportunity arises, I could spend Merits to let Bu Chan cultivate with me in there."
"But now…"
Wang Ba glanced at the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand.
"The re-inauguration ceremony of the Five Elements Division... It looks like I, as Chief Division Master, cannot escape this duty."
He shook his head slightly,
pondered a moment, made some preparations, and then flew straight toward Earth Hall.
