Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 278 Dealing with the Beast
The rich aroma of wine hits the nostrils.

But in Wang Ba's heart, he couldn't help mentioning it.

Suddenly gave birth to a bad feeling.

The old man in front of him was completely different from the drunk man just now.

Majestic, majestic, and the aura of the Nascent Soul level, there is no concealment!

No more feeling of being drunk.

And with this appearance, it is impossible to be someone who has a good relationship with Yao Wudi anyway.

"It can't be... he can't be one of those people who were beaten by the master, right?"

Wang Ba's heart couldn't help beating wildly.

And under the coercion of the old man's aura, Zhang Bao couldn't help turning pale in an instant.

Although he was not very clear about the situation, he immediately said loudly:
"Vice Minister He, this is an order from Dianzhu Fei himself!"

"Master Fei... So, he is really Yao Wudi's disciple?"

The old man's wrinkled face suddenly showed anger:

"Yao Wudi, you are simply deceiving people too much!"

"Too deceiving!"

"That's all for bullying me before! Now let the disciples bully me!"

"Do you really think that my Spiritual Food Department is a leisurely place, so I can fill in people at will!"

"You take him away immediately! My spiritual food department does not support idlers!"

He was so angry that the thinning hair on the top of his head stood on end.

Hearing this, Wang Ba's face darkened slightly.

I couldn't help but want to quit.

A person who has conflicts with the master is the boss. In this case, even if he successfully enters the Ministry of Spiritual Food, there are still many small shoes to wear.

Although this place suits Wang Ba's taste quite well, there is no need to be wronged because of it.

The best way is to stay away from this person.

However, Zhang Bao showed embarrassment:

"Vice Minister He, you should know that the order of the palace master can only be executed unless the elder or suzerain comes forward. This is the rule..."

"Bullshit rules! It won't work if anyone comes!"

The old man said angrily: "If you still don't take him away, then I will send him away myself!"

However, facing the old man's fury, Zhang Bao showed bitterness, but still stood in front of Wang Ba, staring directly at the old man, without retreating a step.

"Vice Minister He, are you going to ignore the order of Master Fei?"

The old man stared at Zhang Bao with frosty eyes.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The originally lazy monks of the Spiritual Food Department sensed the movement, so they couldn't help getting up one after another, and rushed behind the old man.

Looking at this posture, Wang Ba wanted to talk to Zhang Bao, and just change his job.

However, at this moment, a figure who did not know when to appear suddenly appeared beside the old man.

Seeing this figure, the monk below suddenly said in surprise:
"minister!"

When the old man saw the other party, he couldn't help but startled slightly:
"Brother Cui, why did you come back so soon?"

Minister of Spiritual Food?
Wang Ba's heart was shocked, and he quickly looked at the figure that suddenly appeared.

I saw that figure was wearing a toga, but his figure was a bit short and thin, and his appearance looked like a middle-aged man in his forties.

His eyes swept over Wang Ba and the old man, and he frowned slightly:
"what happened?"

Before the old man could speak, Zhang Bao at the side immediately explained the situation.

"Minister Cui, the situation is like this. As soon as Vice Minister He heard that he was a disciple of Uncle Master Yao of Wanfa Peak, he suddenly asked me to take him away. This is an order issued by Master Fei himself. How dare I disobey it? Tell me Let's reason."

Hearing the words, the middle-aged man glanced at the angry old man, pondered slightly, and persuaded:

"Junior brother, why should this matter be involved in this junior..."

"Brother, don't you want to persuade me?"

The old man said angrily:
"Yao Wudi deceived me in the past, and now he sent me a disciple who is as ignorant as him. What does this mean? Senior brother, can you see through it?"

"This...maybe you drank too much and thought too much, so quickly wake yourself up and deal with that fourth-order beast with me."

The middle-aged man abruptly changed the topic directly.

"This... but I'm not good at dealing with beasts..."

Hearing this, the old man was indeed distracted, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He was born in the 'spiritual wine vein', and he is good at making wine from various spiritual plants, and he has entered Taoism with this. The better the brewed wine, the more beneficial it will be for his cultivation.

Spiritual wine is also a kind of spiritual food, so he naturally served in the spiritual food department.

Its wine-making skills can be called a must.

However, he is not very good at the spiritual food made by spirit beasts.

Or rather, limited to understanding.

After all, for him, specialization is far better than those who know a little bit of everything.

The middle-aged Minister Cui was not surprised. How could he not be aware of the old man's situation?
"Unfortunately, Junior Brother Xin is not here..."

"It doesn't matter if you're not good at it, let's go together, this fourth-order beast has extraordinary physique, with the collective wisdom, we may be able to find a way to deal with it... We can't even deal with a fourth-order beast in the dignified Spiritual Food Department Bar?"

Hearing this, the old man patted his chest: "Brother, don't worry! We have a lot of talents in the Spiritual Food Department, how could we not be able to do it! Even if Senior Brother Xin is not here, we can handle it!"

The middle-aged man frowned and threw a ring in his hand to the old man:

"Then, Junior Brother, you can use it to think about it first, and I'll see if there is any other way."

"Row!"

When the old man wasn't drinking, he acted resolutely. Dang Shi led a group of monks from the Spiritual Food Department straight into the bamboo house.

Seeing the old man go in, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately looked at Wang Ba with a smile on his face:

"Cui Daqi, head of the spiritual food department, old man, after all, you can also call me uncle."

Wang Ba's heart moved slightly.

He vaguely felt that Minister Cui was different from the old man, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted:
"Disciple Wang Ba, I have met Master Cui."

"Well, not bad, much more polite than your master."

Cui Daqi looked Wang Ba up and down with a smile, and nodded with satisfaction:

"I didn't expect Lao Yao to accept you as an apprentice at such a great age. It seems that he has great expectations for you."

"The disciple is ashamed."

"Hehe, don't be restrained. Your master has always been lawless. Even if you don't have to be like him, you should have a temper."

"It's not a good thing for a practitioner to be too cautious."

Cui Daqi saw through Wang Ba's character at a glance, and pointed out.

Wang Ba was startled for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

Cui Daqi took the letter of appointment from Zhang Bao, glanced at it, put it away, then waved Zhang Bao to step down, and said:

"As for your Uncle He...don't be angry with him, the conflict between him and your master is actually not a big deal."

When Wang Ba heard this, he couldn't help pricking up his ears curiously.

And Cui Daqi didn't mean to hide it:
"When he was young, he competed with your master, and he lost his very important third-order secret wine song to your master. He wanted to redeem the wine song later, but later found out that the wine song was sold by your master for spirit stones, and It was sold very cheaply, and it was greatly stimulated...the result left a knot in my heart."

"This……"

Wang Ba was speechless when he heard that the two had such a conflict.

Thinking about it carefully, this is really something that the master can do.

"Since then, he's fine when he doesn't drink, but when he drinks, here..."

Cui Daqi pointed to his head.

Wang Ba understood immediately.

"So don't get angry with him, stay with him for a while, and you will know him."

Cui Daqi smiled and comforted him.

When Wang Ba heard this, his mentality immediately became much calmer.

"Uncle Cui, don't worry."

"Well, although I don't know why Brother Yao sent you here to take up a position, but since you are here, let's stay here for a while, let's go in together."

Cui Daqi said, and walked into the bamboo house with Wang Ba.

After entering the bamboo house, Wang Ba realized that the inside was unexpectedly large.

In the huge space, on the walls and in the corners, there are many instruments of different grades, spiritual charcoal, etc.

To Wang Ba's surprise, there was a wet corpse of a spirit beast with the head of a bird and the body of a fish lying on the wide ground.

The size of this corpse is simply staggering.

Looking around, it is a hundred feet long and several feet high.

Even after the transformation, King Wu Yuan looked like a small pet in front of him.

"This is the 'Turtle-tailed Sparrow', a fourth-tier top-grade ferocious beast, good at poison. It invaded the coast before, and was finally killed by the soul-destroying people."

Cui Daqi briefly introduced.

"Ferocious beast?"

Wang Ba was a little puzzled, but he hadn't heard much about this kind of beast.

"In fact, it can also be regarded as a spirit beast, but the intelligence of the beast is very low, and the temperament is often fierce. The body contains a large amount of essence, energy and blood. Once refined into spiritual food, it is an excellent treasure."

Cui Daqi answered Wang Ba's doubts.

Seeing that Wang Ba looked curiously at the many magic tools hanging on the wall, he introduced again: "You don't know how to refine spiritual food, so you don't know much about it. These are magic tools specially used to break down the flesh of fierce beasts. , the bodies of some ferocious beasts are too hard, and these things will come in handy at this time."

Don't know how to refine spiritual food...

Wang Ba couldn't help but fell silent.

But after thinking about it, in front of the Nascent Soul cultivator, his skill as a spirit chef might not really be considered a big deal.

There is no difference between not knowing and not knowing.

"These are spiritual food implements, also called spiritual kitchen implements, which are specially used for..."

Cui Daqi was introducing, when he suddenly heard the dissatisfied voice of old man He Jiugui:

"Brother, why did you bring Yao Wudi's disciples in!"

Cui Daqi gave Wang Ba a helpless wry smile when he heard the words, then his face became serious, and he said to the old man He Jiugui:

"Brother, do you have a clue now?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old man He Jiugui immediately diverted his attention again, and quickly said:

"Senior brother, I found that this thing is really too hard, why don't we try using koji to see if it can be softened by fermentation..."

Cui Daqi: "Uh..."

Such an ingenious method, perhaps only the old man He Jiugui could think of it.

Wang Ba also couldn't help laughing.

Originally, there was some resentment towards the other party, but now it can't help but dispel it a lot.

However, the huge spiritual food department cannot be supported only by the minister and deputy minister.

When even one of the deacons said: "This turtle-tailed finch has a strange structure, the upper body is a bird, and the lower body is a fish. I think it's better to divide one part into two and deal with it separately."

Hearing this suggestion, Cui Daqi revealed a contemplative expression, nodded immediately and said:

"This method may be feasible, you can try it, do you have any other ideas?"

Another deacon suggested:

"The scales on its lower body are extremely hard and difficult to handle. They can be etched away with 'armor erosion water'..."

"The treatment fluid can..."

After that, some people made many suggestions.

Wang Ba listened from the side, and couldn't help but secretly nodded.

Basically everything he could think of had already been mentioned by the monks here.

Even many things that he didn't think of were proposed, and they were quite feasible.

There are even many blind spots involving his knowledge.

"As expected of the Ministry of Spiritual Food!"

Wang Ba couldn't help admiring secretly.

Soon, under the impetus of Cui Daqi, thirty or forty deacons of Jindan and hundreds of Foundation Establishment who came after hearing the news began to work.

With the cooperation of all monks, such a large fourth-order spirit beast was quickly divided.

Wang Ba also felt a little itchy.

His knowledge of refining spiritual food may not be as broad as those monks from the spiritual food department, but his experience at hand may not be inferior.

After all, even in the Wanxiang sect, it is difficult to have a steady stream of spirit beasts for training like him.

The point is, after watching their operations, Wang Ba was also quite inspired, and couldn't help but want to take the opportunity to try it out.

But Wang Ba didn't do anything in the end. After all, this is a fourth-order spirit beast. He is a foundation-building monk, and it is almost impossible to have an effect on it.

Those foundation builders are basically helping Deacon Jindan.

The main force is still Cui Daqi, He Jiugui and other Jindan deacons.

After thinking about it, Wang Ba simply turned around these people with his hands behind his back.

But basically no one noticed Wang Ba.

Everyone's attention was all focused on this 'Turtle-tailed Sparrow', and they were very busy.

So that Wang Ba occasionally saw that some Jindan deacons' methods were not right, and couldn't help but stepped forward to remind them. When these monks saw Wang Ba was stunned, they couldn't react, and immediately devoted themselves to dealing with the beasts. Processing.

After seeing that the other party made corrections according to his reminder, Wang Ba was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he carefully looked at the results and left after making sure that his thoughts were correct.

This kind of experience accumulated in Wang Ba's heart bit by bit.

Different from many skills, the refining of spiritual food, although it also has requirements for the realm of cultivation, but many fundamental things remain unchanged.

For example, the configuration of the treatment liquid, the treatment liquid for the fourth-order spirit beasts must be different from that for the second-order spirit beasts, but this difference is reflected in the material grade of the treatment liquid. In fact, the principle of configuring the treatment liquid has not changed.

But after all, there are still many differences between the fourth level and the second level. These things need to be discovered by monks through slow accumulation.

And Wang Ba had refined the spirit chicken and spirit turtle essence too many times, and many things had reached the point where practice makes perfect, and skills are close to Taoism.

One way, all ways.

Some techniques that he has never seen before, under his careful observation, will be quickly understood by him, and he only needs to do more practice to master them smoothly.

"Junior brother, you take off the poison sac, we don't need it, you can give it to the poison department, be careful when taking it..."

Cui Daqi also joined in and began to deal with some difficult problems.

For example, the connection between bone and meat, and the treatment of the beak.

These places, because it is difficult for ordinary Jindan real people to damage them, are very difficult, and he must deal with them personally.

He divided a large piece and threw it to He Jiugui on the other side.

When He Jiugui heard Cui Daqi's arrangement, he quickly took over and dealt with it.

Seeing this, Wang Ba couldn't help being curious about how the Nascent Soul level dealt with spirit beasts, so he walked up to Cui Daqi's side and began to observe carefully.

I saw Cui Daqi using his mana to control the magic weapon specially used to divide large spirit beasts, and deal with the spirit beasts neatly.

The technique is so refined that Wang Ba didn't dare to blink his eyes when he saw it.

It wasn't until he successfully separated the skull of the bird's head that Wang Ba subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of the Nascent Soul level..."

His eyes swept around casually, but the moment he glanced over He Jiugui, Wang Ba couldn't help being startled:
"That is……"

Wang Ba's pupils suddenly dilated.

The magic weapon manipulated by He Jiugui cuts bit by bit, somewhat rigidly, towards a position where the structural tissue is different from ordinary flesh and blood.

"Poison sac!"

"There's a poison sac! Stop cutting it!"

Wang Ba hurriedly shouted.

Once the poison sac of the fourth-order spirit beast is broken, if it is not protected in time, it will cause great harm.

He Jiugui raised his head subconsciously, and the moment he saw Wang Ba, he was startled for a moment, and then furious:
"Why is this kid still here!"

The magic weapon is still cutting.

Wang Ba didn't care about anything, he hurriedly flew forward, pointed at He Jiugui's position and said quickly:

"Deputy Minister He, this is where the poison sac is located, it can't be cut inside anymore!"

"Fart! The poison sac is on the other side! Don't talk nonsense, boy!"

He Jiugui said angrily.

As he spoke, he flipped the large piece of meat with mana, and he saw a very huge protrusion and orifice on the other side.

On the other side, Cui Daqi heard the movement, saw that it was Wang Ba and He Jiugui, worried that something might happen, and hurried over.

"what happened?"

Wang Ba immediately said: "Minister, there are poison sacs in this place..."

Cui Daqi was a little surprised by Wang Ba's affirmation.

In his opinion, as a disciple of Wan Famai, Wang Ba should concentrate on fighting skills, and he probably doesn't know much about these.

However, out of caution, he immediately swept his consciousness towards this piece of flesh and blood.

It's just that the strong spiritual power contained in the flesh and blood of the fourth-order ferocious beast made it difficult for his spiritual consciousness to penetrate into it. He could only reach out and caress this piece of meat, infuse it with mana, and carefully infiltrate it bit by bit with mana.

The remaining spiritual power on this piece of flesh and blood tried its best to hinder the search for mana.

Cui Daqi still got nothing, he even wondered whether Wang Ba might have made a mistake.

However, at this moment, his expression suddenly changed!
"There... there really are!"

Immediately, he looked at Wang Ba with some surprise.

Mana felt that there was a cavity deep under the flesh and blood.

It was filled with a liquid filled with a dangerous smell.

If it's not a poison sac, what is it?
"It's strange, I discovered it only after forcibly infiltrating this flesh and blood with Nascent Soul-level mana."

"But he is a foundation-building cultivator, how did he know?"

Cui Daqi was confused.

But He Jiugui didn't notice it at the moment, and said angrily: "This kid is talking nonsense. The back side is where the poison sac is located. Isn't it obvious? There is no such thing here!"

Hearing He Jiugui's words, and thinking of He Jiugui's dissatisfaction with Wang Ba, Cui Daqi's heart moved, and he suddenly said:

"How about this, Junior Brother, the magic weapon in your hand is handed over to Wang Ba, and you assist him with magic power, and see if he can take out the poison sac smoothly, isn't it all right?"

Cui Daqi also took great pains.

Based on what he knew about He Jiugui, once Wang Ba found out the poison sac, he would have no reason to reject Wang Ba.

In this way, it can be regarded as easing the emotions between the two, after all, they still have a long time to get along with each other.

And Wang Ba's ability to discover the existence of the poison sac obviously has some roots.

Combining the two, I am secretly instructing and directing, and everything will come naturally.

Even if the poison sac bursts, if he prepares early, he can avoid disasters from happening.

Sure enough, when He Jiugui heard the words, he agreed without even thinking about it.

"Just do it!"

And Wang Ba thought about it, but he didn't refuse.

He often dissects all kinds of spirit beasts, and he knows the body structure of all kinds of spirit beasts well, and after dissecting a lot, he will naturally summarize them.

For example, the structure of the flesh and blood tissue near the poison sac is different from the normal one. Although this is not obvious, it is clearly visible to the eyes of an expert like him.

So Wang Ba recognized it almost at a glance, and even roughly estimated its location and size.

So he naturally didn't have any doubts about Cui Daqi's proposal.

Even if He Jiugui handed over a magic weapon with a thin knife to Wang Ba, it's just that part of his mana and spiritual consciousness were entrusted to the magic weapon.

In this way, he can immediately see whether there is a poison sac in it.

Wang Ba took the magic weapon and felt the surging mana in it. Without hesitation, he directly touched the magic weapon with a little mana, and quickly cut the flesh and blood.

In the hands of He Jiugui, the incomparably dull thin saber instrument, at this moment, suddenly bloomed with a different kind of charm.

The mirror-like thin knife surface reflected Cui Daqi's startled, then gradually shocked face, as well as the shocked appearance of the monks around him.

Pieces of flesh and blood were quickly peeled off from this large piece of flesh and blood with almost exaggerated precision. While peeling off, they were also processed to facilitate the use of processing fluid later.

And soon, a round cavity with a hint of black faintly emerged gradually during the knife cutting.

"It's a poison sac!"

Among the crowd, an experienced Jindan deacon couldn't help but whispered.

In the tone, it is difficult to hide the voice of surprise.

Not only was he surprised that the poison sac really existed, but he was also amazed by Wang Ba's superb handling of the spirit beast.

Even Cui Daqi couldn't help admiring again and again, and his eyes showed extraordinary splendor.

But He Jiugui couldn't help but widen his sleepy eyes at this moment, but he was more shocked than anyone else.

His mana and spiritual consciousness are attached to the fine knife weapon, so he can clearly feel the precision of each knife and the tricky angle of Wang Ba's knife.

Try to cut off all the flesh and blood around the poison sac without piercing the poison sac.

This kind of profundity in handling spirit beasts may be worse than Cui Daqi's, but compared to him, it makes him feel ashamed.

And more importantly, the other party was just a foundation cultivator.

Finally, this whole piece of flesh and blood was finally cut clean, and two poisonous sacs were cut out from it without any damage.

"This ferocious beast actually had two poison sacs, just now it almost..."

He Jiugui showed a complex expression.

He only saw the exposed one before, but he never expected that there was another one hidden inside. If Wang Ba hadn't stopped it in time, he would be fine, but the other Jindan deacons might just...

And when Wang Ba finished all this, he was about to return the fine saber to He Jiugui.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of dizziness hit his heart.

He didn't even have time to react, but in the blink of an eye, he lost consciousness instantly.

But just as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep, his body began to emit a strong aroma of wine.

"My Drunken Immortal Brew, even you, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, dare to drink it at will..."

He Jiugui glanced at Wang Yan, then he didn't know what he thought of, and muttered in a low voice:
"It's cheaper for you..."

After finishing speaking, he took out a jug of wine gourd from his sleeve, aimed it at Wang Ba's mouth, and poured a few more mouthfuls.

Cui Daqi, who saw this scene, did not stop him, but showed a gratified smile on the contrary.

Looking at Wang Yan, there was a hint of exclamation in his eyes:
"Old Yao's apprentice...he really doesn't look like him at all..."

　Promise done...
