Finally, he heard the voice of the immortal filled with a hint of helplessness:
"Let him go."
The Prefectural Governor was taken aback and looked at Zhen Boen.
Although Zhen Boen was slightly surprised, he would naturally not object since his uncle had spoken:
"You all go down first."
The Prefectural Governor along with the strong men below hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Wang Ba looked at the red-faced boy in front of him. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with the way the boy used a kowtow to threaten him,
When he saw the boy’s determination, he couldn’t help but recall his own many helpless days in the past.
Back then, did he also hope that a great man could lend him a helping hand, just like the boy in front of him?
Staggering, the red-faced boy, Wang Xu, climbed up and walked in front of Wang Ba, then heavily kowtowed again.
However, he was astonished to find that no matter how much effort he put in, he had no control over his body at all.
"If you will continue to threaten me like this, then there is no hope of saving your mother."
Upon hearing these words, the red-faced boy gave a start!
He quickly struggled to stand up, and paid a grateful and respectful bow towards Wang Ba: "Thank you, Immortal!"
However, Wang Ba merely shook his head: "You must not thank me hurriedly. I cannot save your mother, I can only keep her hanging… After I send you to the capital of West Sea Country, if you can meet a cultivator proficient in medical skills, perhaps there’s still a chance for your mother."
Hearing this, the red-faced boy looked somewhat disappointed, but still gave a solemn bow:
"Immortal’s great kindness, Wang Xu will never forget!"
As for the boy’s gratitude, Wang Ba shook his head nonchalantly, then rummaged through his Storage Treasure and finally managed to find a bottle of lower-grade chicken essence made from class-I Spirit Chickens.
He then lightly opened it, and with the cover of Mother Qi of Dharmas, he slowly transported strands of it into the old woman’s body.
Such delicate control would only be possible for him among the Foundation Establishment Competitors.
Even Golden Core Realm cultivators wouldn’t necessarily be able to do it.
This was a test of control over Mana.
Soon after, he sensed the limit of the old woman’s body and immediately stopped.
Now that he was sensing the old woman again, he could noticeably perceive that her body’s condition was much better than before.
Even the oblivious red-faced boy could see the evident change in the old woman.
Reverence filled the red-faced boy’s eyes as he looked at Wang Ba.
Having done all this, Wang Ba saw that Zhou Lve had also finished refining the Spiritual Root Talisman.
With a laugh, he handed over the talismans to Wang Ba:
"Uncle, all these are for you."
With a sweep of his eyes, Wang Ba discovered that there were actually as many as thirty or forty Spiritual Root Talismans.
"Thank you, Luye."
Wang Ba gave his thanks.
Then, under the somewhat astonished gaze of Zhou Lve and Zhen Boen, he directly walked to the eight people that Zhen Boen had brought and moved his thoughts.
Eight Spiritual Root Talismans quickly fell onto their bellies.
In an instant, seven of the eight people were lit up with five-colored light.
Zhou Lve and Zhen Boen were suddenly surprised:
"So many have Spiritual Roots?"
However, Zhen Boen quickly revealed a look of regret:
"It’s a pity that their talents are all average. They can’t join our Sect. Even in Jin, they wouldn’t be able to enter some small sects."
However, Wang Ba was not looking at the people who were confirmed to have Spiritual Roots, but at the only one among the eight who had not been found to have a Spiritual Root.
"Strange..."
Wang Ba could not help but quietly use the Bloodline Identification skill again. He found that although this man’s spiritual root was not very good, it did exist.
He tested him twice more with the Spiritual Root Talisman.
As a result, without exception, only this man did not stimulate a Spiritual Root.
This made him puzzled.
Why is it that clearly a person has a spiritual root, but it cannot be detected?
Unless...
"A hidden Spiritual Root!"
This word instantly popped into his mind.
Instantly, everything made sense.
"So it is. The Bloodline Identification Skill can even see the hidden Spiritual Root..."
The man who did not test positive for a Spiritual Root after three tries was very disappointed right now. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
At first he was a little nervous, but then quickly realized that this might be a huge opportunity.
However, it was a pity that the process of his dream being shattered was too fast.
"Without a spiritual root... you can’t become one of these immortals..."
But at this moment, he saw the immortal coming over and speaking to him:
"I have a method that can make you produce a Spiritual Root and set foot on the path of cultivation, but it will take three years...do you want to learn it?"
The man was startled, and without any thought, knelt down and started kowtowing: "Thank you, Immortal, for your kindness!"
The man nodded lightly and then took out a scroll and gave it to him.
Looking down, the man saw three large characters written on the yellowing scroll.
"Strong Body Sutra?"
The man read out the characters written on the cover.
He immediately cherishes it and carefully places it in his bosom.
Seeing this familiar scene, Wang Ba sighed in his heart, waved his hand casually, and dismissed everyone.
Then he looked at Zhou Lve and Zhen Boen and laughed:
"Let’s go, we’ll find Tao Ruyi together, and..."
"Immortal! Wang Xu has one more request... Please bestow me with a cultivation method!"
A voice suddenly rang out.
Immediately, the three of them saw the red-faced boy kneeling in front of them, bowing to each of them in turn.
"Huh?"
Zhen Boen’s face darkened instantly as he swept his gaze over the kneeling red-faced boy.
Wang Ba also frowned, staring at the boy:
"Why do you think I would bestow a cultivation method on you? Aren’t you afraid that I might kill you in a fit of anger?"
