NOVPUBHowever, there was still a long way to go before this knowledge could be transformed into an effective benefit for him.
Especially since many of the Spirit Beasts under his care had already reached the middle and even upper grades of Class III.
At this stage, it was almost impossible for these Spirit Beasts to experience significant improvement in a few years, as they had done before.
Therefore, there wasn’t much Wang Ba could do.
Apart from allowing Jia 17, Jia 18, and the other three Wu Clan Spirit Chickens to breed extensively, supplying a large number of Class III Spirit Chickens to produce Class III Spirit Chicken Essence, his attention was almost entirely focused on the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizards.
Among them, two Hundred Colored Stone Lizards and several Double-Headed Stone Lizards finally received a boost in their Lifespan from Wang Ba.
After receiving the Lifespan, the two Hundred Colored Stone Lizards just managed to reach the threshold of upper-grade Class III.
Perhaps due to the acceleration provided by the Lifespan, the two Hundred Colored Stone Lizards naturally began to mate.
This was the first instance of mating among the offspring of Ghost-pattern Stone Lizards.
Therefore, Wang Ba was very attentive to this development.
After the female Hundred Colored Stone Lizard laid two eggs, Wang Ba immediately placed them into the incubation chamber, which had been prepared in advance.
The Double-Headed Stone Lizards had not shown signs of mating yet, and Wang Ba could only keep them together, waiting for a pleasant surprise.
Besides the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizards, it’s worth mentioning that, in order to obtain more Snow Phoenix Chickens, Wang Ba once again put the Phoenix-feathered Chickens and Snow Sun Chickens together. For now, there had been no chicken barbecue tragedy, and Wang Ba had already purchased a Formation from the Xuanwu Market, which could prevent the Snow Sun Chickens from losing control.
The Spirit Beast that troubled Wang Ba the most was probably Jia 15.
This unique middle-grade Class III Spirit Chicken with the ability to be both "literary" and "martial," was now indulging among the flock of chickens.
At times favoring those ordinary Spirit Chickens and Phantom Chickens.
At other times debasing itself, enjoying the company of male Phoenix-feathered Chickens.
Wang Ba frequently considered liberating Jia 15 from the bounds of the Power of the Yin God, giving it "true freedom."
But Jia 15’s diligent cultivation still made Wang Ba ultimately decide to give up the idea.
After all, the number of matings it accomplished daily was comparable to the combined total of the other Spirit Chickens.
It was a model worker among chickens.
After mating, the number of eggs laid by the females was also very satisfying.
The real reason why Wang Ba chose not to interfere with Jia 15 was that the four eggs Jia 15 had previously incubated finally hatched a few days ago.
All four eggs hatched, and among them appeared a lower-grade Class III Phoenix-feathered Chicken.
A naturally Class III Phoenix-feathered Chicken that did not need to go through Thunder Tribulation!
This discovery truly amazed Wang Ba.
All along, the problem of Phoenix-feathered Chickens being unable to break through to Class III due to failing the Thunder Tribulation had always troubled him.
However, he never imagined that the issue preventing the Phoenix-feathered Chickens from advancing in grade would be solved so simply by Jia 15.
The mysteries of life were indeed unfathomable.
They often exceed human imagination.
For this reason, Wang Ba chose not to stop Jia 15 from continuing to ’have fun’ with the male Phoenix-feathered Chickens.
Occasionally, he would even use the Power of the Yin God to assign Jia 15 some minor tasks, encouraging it to try different types of Spirit Chickens, thereby increasing the diversity of new Spirit Chicken species.
However, Jia 15 was still clearly wary of the Snow Sun Chickens and Snow Phoenix Chickens.
This was perhaps due to the natural hierarchy of bloodlines.
As usual, he fed the Spirit Chickens, Spirit Turtles, Spiritual Ghost Eels, and Hole-digging Otters, among other Spirit Beasts.
Wang Ba’s eyes swept across the area, but he did not find the Wu Monkey King.
Projecting his Spiritual Sense, he unsurprisingly spotted the Wu Monkey King on top of a rock at the peak of Wanfa Peak.
Now its size had grown slightly, almost the same as that of an ordinary monkey.
Its fur was also a dusty grey, looking more ordinary than ever.
Sitting under the setting sun, with eyes closed and assuming a cross-legged pose.
Around it was a faint golden halo, slowly swirling.
Despite being physically present, it gave Wang Ba the impression of being completely empty.
"Is it because of the cultivation practice given by Ci Wu?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but speculate in his heart.
He was also aware of the Nine Changes of the Ape God, which normally didn’t lead to this phenomenon.
He didn’t know whether this was good or bad, but he chose to trust the Wu Monkey King and did not disturb it excessively.
His gaze swept towards the distance, but he still did not see Bu Chan.
Unsurprisingly, she must be dealing with miscellaneous duties within the Spirit Plant Department again.
"I should have let her perform poorly before," Wang Ba muttered with slight regret.
The burden of the capable is often not a good phrase.
Being too busy, Bu Chan’s cultivation would definitely be affected.
It was a loss not worth the gain.
However, to Wang Ba’s slight surprise, he soon saw Bu Chan returning from a distance, her face bearing a trace of joy.
The moment she saw Wang Ba, she couldn’t help but share her happiness:
"Senior Brother, I am now a Deacon!"
"Oh?"
Wang Ba was taken aback by the news.
Bu Chan was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and her talent wasn’t particularly outstanding; she should at most be responsible for assisting tasks.
"I have been handling many of the duties in the department recently. Although my master hasn’t spoken, the Ministers and other Deacons have all suggested promoting my position, and then they went to Rende Hall to get the Identity Plate of a Deacon for me."
Seeing how happy Bu Chan was, Wang Ba, although not wishing for her to work so hard, also couldn’t help but smile.
However, he was immediately reminded of another matter.
His own Identity Plate for the position of Vice Minister still had not been issued.
Asking Martial Uncle Cui yielded evasive answers without any certainty.
This made Wang Ba sometimes worry whether Martial Uncle Cui had made a mistake and he had, in fact, not been selected as Vice Minister.
But he did not dwell on it much.
Just as he was about to celebrate Bu Chan’s promotion, the arrival of a Sound Transmission Talisman disrupted Wang Ba’s plans.
"Martial Uncle Qi wants me to go to the Beast Department now?"
