NOVPUBWang Ba also noticed the change in Liang Zhongkang’s attitude, but he didn’t think too much of it and quickly waved his hand.
After a brief chat, Liang Zhongkang soon took his leave and departed.
Watching the other’s departing figure, Wang Ba turned his head and took out a Storage Treasure from his sleeve, presenting it to Ge Shoucheng with both hands.
Ge Shoucheng was somewhat surprised, "What is this?"
"As a disciple learning from Master Ge, it is only proper for me to offer a gift of gratitude, but it slipped my mind just now," Wang Ba said, his face showing embarrassment.
"A gift of gratitude?"
Ge Shoucheng was quite surprised.
Do people of the Dharma Lineage pay such close attention to this?
But I have never heard Master mention this.
And that Senior Brother Yao doesn’t seem to be like that either.
However, Ge Shoucheng was a peak master after all, a Fulfillment-stage Nascent Soul existence, and he also had the demeanor of a peak master, he didn’t accept the gift but instead smiled and waved his hand, "There’s no need, I am just following my teacher’s instructions, and I see potential in you, my nephew."
But Wang Ba simply would not take it back, no matter what.
Seeing this, Ge Shoucheng reluctantly accepted it.
He didn’t think much of it in his heart.
At that moment, Wang Ba seemed to think of something and asked curiously, "May I ask Uncle Master, what is ’the first method’ you mentioned just now? I don’t seem to have seen it in the ’Ride the Wind’."
Seeing Wang Ba asking about serious matters, Ge Shoucheng also became solemn, "It’s not recorded in the sect’s cultivation sutra Jade Slips, it’s something passed down verbally. After all, cultivation experiences and insights accumulate over generations and vary from each other, and a Jade Slip cannot fully record them all."
"The so-called Six Methods refer to cold, heat, moisture, malignancy, slowness, and urgency."
"The first method is ’urgency’, allowing one to harness the formless wind between heaven and earth and turn it into tangible qi, ranging from a wind blade to a tempest disaster, characterized by speed and swiftness. Once you’ve grasped the first method, you can be said to have truly touched the essence of ’Ride the Wind’."
"The second method is ’slowness’… the third method is…"
Ge Shoucheng described everything in great detail, and also provided the latest version of "Ride the Wind" according to the teachings of Shenxiu Peak.
Unlike the five elements cultivation method he had practiced before, ’Ride the Wind’ didn’t require any special adjustments.
Wang Ba listened respectfully.
Only when dusk was approaching did Wang Ba reluctantly say goodbye.
Watching Wang Ba disappear into the gale without being too affected, Ge Shoucheng’s face showed a hint of pity.
"It’s a pity. If he had a Wind Spiritual Root by nature, he might have had the chance to become a disciple of my Shenxiu Peak."
Shaking his head slightly, he casually touched something and was immediately surprised to find another Storage Treasure.
A look of curiosity appeared on his face.
As his Spiritual Sence swept through it subconsciously, surprise quickly filled his eyes.
There wasn’t much in the Storage Treasure, just a piece of spirit material, but it was a Class IV existence.
And more importantly, this spirit material was a Wind Style treasure.
"Worth over two thousand merits… I wonder what good fortune Senior Brother Yao has cultivated to acquire such a satisfactory disciple…"
For a time, Ge Shoucheng was filled with emotions.
...
Spirit Food Department.
After taking a few days off, Wang Ba finally returned.
Although several days had passed, to Wang Ba’s relief, the Spirit Food Department was still well organized and had not been affected by his absence.
He checked the daily material usage report turned in by everyone and quickly verified it, finding no major issues.
This made Wang Ba feel somewhat redundant.
But he quite enjoyed that feeling.
Thinking it over, he still felt a bit embarrassed, so he simply joined the deacons and clerks in their tasks.
It wasn’t long before he heard someone looking for him outside.
Wang Ba was puzzled.
Going outside, he found that it was a deacon from the Rende Hall looking for him.
"Has the Vice Minister’s Identity Plate arrived?"
The first thought that came to Wang Ba’s mind was this.
Upon seeing him, the other party immediately took out an Identity Plate and congratulated him, "Congratulations to Vice Minister Wang."
Wang Ba felt as if a weight had been lifted from his heart.
He had always been worried about a mix-up, that perhaps he hadn’t really been awarded the Vice Minister position, which would be quite embarrassing.
Although unlikely, as long as the Identity Plate hadn’t arrived, he felt uneasy.
"Thank you," he said.
Wang Ba took the Identity Plate and quickly glanced at it.
But he was stunned.
"Vice Minister of the Beast Department?"
He hurriedly looked up at the Rende Hall deacon.
"Is there a mistake? How could it be the Vice Minister of the Beast Department?" he asked.
But the Rende Hall deacon laughed, "There’s no mistake. Just flip the Identity Plate over and take a look."
Wang Ba flipped the Identity Plate with confusion, and immediately saw that the other side was indeed etched with the words ’Vice Minister of the Spirit Food Department’.
"Two Vice Ministers?!"
Wang Ba suddenly raised his head, full of surprise.
And in the next moment, under his even more astonished gaze,
the cultivator from Rende Hall then took out another plaque and offered it.
Wang Ba looked, and saw the plaque bore a few small words:
Diwu Hall, Right Enforcer.
