Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant - Chapter 531

Chapter 531: Chapter 11 Method Seeking_3

At those words, Su Cheng seemed even more confused.

If he couldn’t compete, wasn’t it a good thing for the Sect to have such a world-class genius?

Why pretend to be mean?

Ling Weizi seemed to sense Su Cheng’s thoughts and slightly shook his head, saying,

“Do you know how old Yao Wudi is now?”

“Over two thousand two hundred years old!”

“Over two thousand years?!”

Both Su Cheng and Li Xiao looked shocked.

Although they knew that Martial Uncle Yao was the eldest among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Sect, they weren’t aware that he had lived for so long.

“Yes, more than two thousand two hundred years!”.

Master Ling spoke in a somber tone:

“The lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator, in the barren lands beyond the Jin, is typically around a thousand years. Even within our sect, in an environment filled with Spiritual Energy, our lifespan rarely exceeds one thousand five hundred years. Yet, Yao Wudi has lived for over two thousand years!”

“Admittedly, part of the reason lies in the Dharma Lineage’s cultivation method, which can steal the essence of heaven and earth, thus tremendously extending our lifespan. However, another significant factor is his monopolization of far too many of our Sect’s resources…”

“However, despite all this, he still hasn’t achieved Immortal Ascension!”

“Taking so many resources but stuck at the Nascent Soul Realm for so long, no matter how invincible he is in the Nascent Soul Realm, what good does it do him?”

“Immortal Ascension and Nascent Soul are entirely different!”

“If we allow Yao Wudi’s disciple to walk the same path as his master, and if his talent is on par with Yao Wudi’s, not only will our disciples from Qingmu Peak have to live in his shadow for at least the next one thousand years, even the entire Sect might be affected.”

“Su Cheng, Li Xiao, do you think an invincible Nascent Soul like Yao Wudi is more important, or an extra Immortal Ascension cultivator?”

“Of course, an Immortal Ascension cultivator.”

Both Su Cheng and Li Xiao answered almost simultaneously.

The difference of one stage is insurmountable, even with incomparable talent.

Yao Wudi’s dominance in the Nascent Soul Realm is unquestioned, but nobody thinks he can remain invincible in front of an Immortal Ascendant.

The difference between the two is fundamental.

“Yao Wudi has no other means to earn more merits. It’s not easy for him to accumulate enough. That’s why I refused him. As long as we stall and let him accumulate merits, it will take a long time. By missing the optimal cultivation period, his disciple will naturally fail to truly cultivate the Dao of Dharmas. When his lifespan ends… ”

Ling Weizi slowly continued.

“Master, what if they are unwilling to give up the Manual of Azure Emperor’s Seed and try to find somebody else instead?”

The yellow-robed cultivator, Li Xiao suddenly asked.

“Other people?”

A knowing look flashed in Ling Weizi’s eye:

“The Dharma Lineage is based on the Five Elements. Apart from our Qingmu Peak, he is bound to seek help from others. However, if I’m not mistaken, he will end up empty-handed.”

…

Jinhuang Peak.

Wang Ba standing behind Yao Wudi, was unnerved by his furious expression.

While they were in Qingmu Peak, he hadn’t noticed anything; though after being turned down by the other three, using various excuses, he felt something was wrong, even without a deep understanding of the situation.

Although Yao Wudi was no fan of scheming, he was wise due to his advanced age and grasped the situation.

“These damn bastards!”

Yao Wudi couldn’t help but curse angrily.

Although Wang Ba also felt disappointed, he tried to reassure him:

“Master, don’t get upset, perhaps our Martial Uncles are too busy…”

Yao Wudi’s face filled with indignation as he retorted:

“Busy my ass! They did it on purpose!”

He suddenly had a thought: “Let’s go, we’ll visit Renshuifeng, Shen Ying from that peak studied under me for a few years.”

With that, he mobilized his Mana, and took Wang Ba with him, flying towards a distant peak.

In just a few moments, the two of them hovered in front of a blue mountain.

Atop the mountain, water light circulated.

The abundant Water Style Spiritual Energy almost solidified into substance.

The densely packed water vein immortal caves revealed the prosperity of the Renshui Lineage as well.

Feeling Yao Wudi’s aura, a figure quickly flew out from the mountain.

Dressed in cloud sleeve water robe with a moderate demeanor,

Seeing Yao Wudi, he was pleasantly surprised, “Senior Brother Yao! When did you come back?”

“Ha ha! Little Shen… Martial Uncle Shen!”

Seeing his attitude, Yao Wudi immediately felt better and greeted him with hearty laughter.

“Who is this…?”

His eyes scanned over Wang Ba, prompting a curious question.

“This is my newly accepted disciple.”

Yao Wudi introduced.

“So you are my Martial Nephew. Martial Uncle I didn’t prepare anything, take this.”

Shen Ying’s expression changed slightly, as he swiftly pulled a copper coin from his sleeve.

“Below Immortal Ascension, this treasure can die in your stead, but it can only be used once.”

Upon seeing this, Yao Wudi exclaimed:

“Scapegoat Copper Coin?!”

“It’s a good thing, disciple, why don’t you quickly thank your Martial Uncle Shen.”

Yao seemed completely unacquainted with the concept of refusal.

Wang Ba looked slightly hesitant as he accepted the copper coin.

Although he didn’t need it, it could be given to Bu Chan.

“Thank you, Martial Uncle Shen.”

Wang Ba respectfully thanked him.

“It’s nothing, it’s just a small token. It’s nothing compared to the gratitude I owe Senior Brother Yao. If it wasn’t for his guidance in my early years, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

Shen Ying sighed, then turned to Yao Wudi:

“Senior Brother, there must be something important for you to come here?”

“Martial Brother, your guess is correct. I came here today to help your Martial Nephew borrow a copy of the ‘Cloud-Water True Vacuum Technique’.”
