Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Return to the inside.

Xuanwu replaced Yuanci Taoist again.

However, Taoist Yuanci did not return to the underworld immediately, but looked at Wang Ba hesitantly.

The two of them were in tune with each other. Wang Ba understood his thoughts almost instantly and frowned slightly:
"You want to know about Qin Lingxiao's reincarnation?"

Yuancidao knew that he couldn't hide it from the real body, so he nodded:
"Since I took charge of the underworld, I have seen countless true spirits, but I have not seen Qin Lingxiao's true spirit. I think she has reincarnated. If she has reincarnated, I can't tell who her reincarnation is. Daoist friend, you are good at deduction, so you should be able to deduce it."

Wang Ba frowned slightly and looked at Yuanci Taoist:
"Since she has been reincarnated, it is another life. It is a good thing for both her and me..."

Yuanci Taoist shook his head slightly and asked:
"She was willing to replace me with her soul in order to help you. Can you really get over this hurdle in your heart?"

Hearing this, Wang Ba fell silent.

Without saying anything, Yuanci Taoist already understood what was in his mind.

With a hint of relief in his eyes, he flew straight into the sea whirlpool in the center of the Four Continents.

Wang Ba was left standing alone in midair, watching the waves rolling below...

Youyou sighed.

Then he raised his hand and counted on his fingers, using the Zhou Tian Dou Shu to deduce Qin Lingxiao's whereabouts.

After a few breaths, Wang Ba frowned slightly.

In doubt, he took out a fourth-order perfect tortoise shell from his sleeve... and made another deduction.

But soon, Wang Ba's expression darkened slightly, with a hint of solemnity and confusion in his eyes:

“No… She has not been reincarnated, but the Yuanci incarnation did not see her true spirit. It is neither a true spirit nor a reincarnation… Could it be that her true spirit has perished?!”

As soon as this thought came to mind, Wang Ba's heart was shocked.

He thought that he had rarely owed anyone anything in his life, but when facing Qin Lingxiao, he felt guilty.

Or maybe there were other emotions involved, but he was not willing to delve into it.

However, at this moment, when he heard that Qin Lingxiao's true spirit might be destroyed, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable complexity in his heart.

And at the same time.

Inside the underworld, Yuanci Taoist, who had just sat down, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

There was a silent look in his eyes:
"It turns out... it has already perished..."

The image of a cool woman in white, wearing a veil and stepping on a white dragon vaguely emerged in my mind.

I vaguely remembered the expression of the female cultivator, which seemed to be both happy and sad, and she told him that she wanted to hug her.

And that extremely happy smile...

At this moment, he finally realized that the name 'Qin Lingxiao'... he would really remember it for a very long time.

From the depths of the dark underworld, a faint sigh was heard.

……

"Yu Wuhen's sudden loss of control is a bit strange..."

Return to the dojo.

Wang Ba sat cross-legged in the secret realm of the bead, holding the Wind-Fixing Stone in his hand, but he couldn't help but think of the scene when Yu Wuhen's Dao Realm lost control.

He was quite surprised that a seventh-level Dao Realm cultivator couldn't even control his own Dao Realm and it even backfired on his soul.

However, he was surprised that the other party was willing to give him the Wind-Fixing Stone.

After all, this thing can carry people through this storm-stricken area filled with strong winds. With this, at least Yu Wuhen can come and go freely here.

And giving this thing to him, wouldn't it be...

"and many more."

Wang Ba was stunned for a moment, and vaguely guessed what the other party meant.

"Is this a disguised way of showing goodwill to the Ogura world?"

"No, it could also be that she really doesn't care. With her strength, if she really wants to, as long as we are still here, she can easily take it back. All in all, there is actually no risk at all for her."

Wang Ba's idea was to judge others by one's own standards, but he didn't care.

In order to take all situations into consideration and be prepared for them as much as possible.

He does not hesitate to assume the worst of others.

Even though the other party was also from the Ogura world, even though the other party was nominally his senior sister, and even though Li Yuehua, who had done him a favor, had once warned him about this.

"But it should be safe for now."

Wang Ba glanced outside.

The thick white fog was blown past quickly by the strong wind.

There is no intention of stopping at all.

In the perception, the distance between Fan Ming and him was getting farther and farther, but fortunately, it had not yet exceeded his sensing range.

"I hope Fanming can come back as soon as possible after the wind dies down."

Thinking of this, Wang Ba immediately lowered his head and looked at the Wind-Fixing Stone in his hand. With a thought, the Wind-Removing Staff immediately appeared beside him, as if they were sensing each other.

Both the Wind-Fixing Stone and the Wind-Repelling Staff were vibrating slightly, as if they were extremely excited.

If Wang Ba hadn't used his magic power to separate the two, it would have felt like they were about to collide with each other.

Wang Ba was somewhat suspicious:

"These two things... can't they really be one and the same? Aren't all innate Dao treasures bred in the fetus of the world?"

The Wind-Repelling Staff was obtained from the innate gods and demons that invaded the Xiaocang Realm. Cang Fuzi determined that it was an innate Taoist treasure that originated from the realm's womb.

According to Yu Wuhen, the Wind-Fixing Stone was also obtained from the World Embryo.

In theory, everything inside the world is different and independent of each other. Even before it is opened, no one knows what is hidden inside.

However, the reactions of the Wind-Repelling Staff and the Wind-Fixing Stone were clearly that of one thing being divided into two parts.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't suppress his curiosity.

The hand holding the Wind-Fixing Stone loosened slightly.

The next moment, the Wind-Calming Stone suddenly flew away like a young swallow into the forest and hit the Wind-Removing Staff directly!

wow——

Without any sound, the Wind-Fixing Stone crashed into the Wind-Removing Staff without causing any ripples at all, and completely disappeared!
However, at this moment, both Wang Ba and Yu Wuhen who was far away were shocked.

"Has it been refined?"

"So fast!"

Yu Wuhen, who was sitting cross-legged among the dark rocky peaks on the mountain, opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

Although she is good at Yuanci, she also refined the Wind-Fixing Stone.

When it was given to Wang Ba, it did free the Wind-Fixing Stone from its possession, but a trace of sensitivity was still retained.

However, at this moment, the existence of the Wind-Fixing Stone could not be felt at all. It was obvious that the Wind-Fixing Stone had been refined by Wang Ba in a very short time.

"No wonder the old man values ​​him so much."

Yu Wuhen's eyes showed strangeness, but then his mind sank into cultivation again.

Her soul had just suffered considerable damage, but fortunately the lotus seeds given by Wang Ba seemed to be very beneficial to the soul, thus avoiding a considerable loss. However, even so, she still needed to recuperate well.

And at the same moment.

Wang Ba was even more surprised in his heart.

“They are actually one and the same!”

His mind sank into the wind-repelling staff.

The original three innate cloud bans have now merged with the two from the Wind-Fixing Stone, and now have become five.

He had not noticed the incompleteness of the Wind-Driven Staff before, but with the integration of the two innate cloud bans of the Wind-Fixing Stone, he vaguely felt that the five innate cloud bans did not seem to be the limit of the Wind-Driven Staff.

Thinking of this, he had no time to refine the two extra innate cloud bans of the Wind-Resisting Staff, but quickly summoned Cang Fuzi.

"Do you know if there is a limit to the number of Xiantian Yunban in this Xiantian Dao treasure?"

"The number of Xiantian Cloud Bans?"

Cang Fuzi's face slowly changed as he appeared silently, as if he was in deep thought.

Then he said in an uncertain tone:
"I only have a little understanding of Xiantian Dao treasures, but I vaguely remember that Xiantian Dao treasures are numbered in nine, and every time there is a ninth, the quality and power are completely different. And in the Third Realm Sea, forty-nine is the limit."

"Forty-nine..."

Wang Hao pondered slightly.

Forty-nine, which means thirty-six innate cloud bans.

He thought for a while and asked again:

"Then do you know if the treasures in the world can be integrated with each other?"

"Can the treasures in the world be integrated with each other?"

Cang Fuzi was a little surprised when he heard this, then shook his head:

"I don't know about that, but the sea boundary is so vast that there are all kinds of things. Maybe there is something like this..."

Wang Bawei was a little disappointed.

However, he still asked about the information about the realm fetus and the innate Taoist treasure. Unfortunately, Cang Fuzi didn't know much about it.

After watching Cang Fuzi leave, Wang Ba looked down at the wind-driving staff in his hand and pondered for a while.

He then calmed his mind, stopped thinking too much, and began to comprehend and refine the two newly merged innate cloud bans.

Time passed by just like that.

Three years later.

Wang Ba stood on the boundary membrane, looking up at the rolling white fog around him with a solemn expression.

To his surprise, the wind continued to blow for more than three years and there was still no sign of stopping.

What made him even more anxious was that he had lost his sense of Fan Ming more than two years ago.

The lack of clarity meant that his plan to move Xiaocang Realm to the vicinity of Yuntian Realm became much more difficult.

"If the wind is weaker, maybe I can use the wind-driving staff to drive the wind outside to carry Xiaocangjie away, but now..."

Feeling the wind outside the protective shield, Wang Ba couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

The wind outside is so strong that even though the wind-repelling staff has been equipped with two innate cloud bans, which has improved its effect, it is still difficult to fully control it.

"However... my improvement in the Wind Path is about to enter the third-level Dao realm faster than other essences."

The Wind-Repelling Staff played an indispensable role in helping him in the art of wind, which also made him the most proficient in the art of wind among all the arts.

Perhaps it won’t be long before he can step into the third level.

But when that time really comes, he will have to restrain his improvement in the Wind Path. In the Xuanhuang Dao Realm, once the paths are out of balance and the Wind Path is separated, it will become extremely difficult to reintegrate. He is also prepared to try his best to integrate the Yuanci Taoist at the second stage.

Just thinking of Qin Lingxiao's knot in his heart, Wang Ba couldn't help but frown slightly again.

I'm afraid this matter is not that easy.

These thoughts flashed through his mind. Wang Ba still hesitated, holding the wind-driving staff, and stepped out of the protective shield outside the boundary.

call out--

The sharp sound of wind passed through my ears at a high speed!
The Wind-Repelling Staff lit up slightly almost instantly, but even so, the several layers of protective barriers on Wang Ba's body were still instantly pierced!

Although a stream of green light finally flew out from the wind-driving staff, like a wind dragon protecting him and blocking the wind, Wang Ba still felt a chill in his heart. He did not dare to take the risk and retreated quickly.

Under the shelter of the huge black stone below, the sharp sound of the wind suddenly became quiet.

Only Wang Ba was left standing in front of the protective shield, looking outside with an uncertain expression.

A woman's voice came from afar:

"Don't waste your energy. This wind will blow for a long time. It may even blow for seven or eight hundred years."

Wang Ba's expression remained unchanged. He turned his head slightly and his voice traveled far away:
"Senior Sister has been here for many years. Could it be that she has discovered the rules?"

"Patterns? Oh, yes... there are absolutely no patterns."

The woman's voice sounded like a sneer, but also like a self-mockery:

"I tried many times, but I ended up back here. So with your current abilities, it's impossible for you to get out..."

After hearing this, even though Wang Ba already had a premonition in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel depressed.

His mind turned slightly, and he suddenly asked:
"Sister, are you free? I have cultivated some spiritual objects that replenish the spirit. I wonder if I could ask you to taste them?"

There was a gust of wind in the distance. After a period of silence, a woman's slightly strange voice came faintly:

"You are good at talking... If you are free, come to my place. I don't want to see anyone else."

Wang Ba felt relieved and nodded:

"Then I'll be there later."

"Ah."

After returning to the realm, he took some lotus seeds and then went to where Yu Wuhen was.

Perhaps it was because Wang Ba had intervened before to alleviate the out-of-control situation in her Dao Realm, and this time Wang Ba sent her another batch of lotus seeds.

Although Yu Wuhen didn't look happy this time, he didn't say anything unpleasant.

Wang Ba did not ask the other party why his Dao domain lost control. He just gave the Lotus Girl and Lotus Fruit to the other party and then left.

"If you want to leave here soon, you should give up the idea as soon as possible. The Xiaocang Realm is still too weak. Staying here may not be a bad thing."

Yu Wuhen held the lotus fruit in his hand and examined it carefully. However, the words he said made Wang Ba pause.

Wang Ba had already understood what the other party meant, and did not turn around, but just nodded:

"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

"I didn't say anything."

Yu Wuhen's tone returned to being cold again.

Wang Ba smiled and stopped arguing with the other party.

"Next time, bring some of this to Senior Sister for tasting."

After saying this, his figure disappeared silently.

At the original place, Yu Wuhen glanced at the place where Wang Ba disappeared, and the corners of his rosy lips curled up slightly.

After being lonely for so many years, who can really like to stay here alone?
It's good to have someone to talk to occasionally.

……

"Master Qu Shentong's true spirit has now reincarnated in Xiniu Hezhou..."

"Uncle Shen Ying's reincarnation is now two years old..."

"Masters Qu Zhongqiu and Ding Chun have not yet reincarnated, but judging by the time, it should be soon..."

Wanxiang Sect, inside Chunyang Palace.

Wang Ba rarely summoned the cultivators of the Void Refining and Spirit Transformation stages in the sect.

Except for Zhao Feng, Guan Ao and a few others who were still in seclusion, almost everyone else came here.

Not only the Wanxiang Sect, but also people from the Changsheng Sect and Youxian Temple came.

Wang Ba looked around at the people below and said solemnly:

"Now that Xiaocangjie has fallen here, and Fanming is on his way back, it may take three or four hundred years, or even seven or eight hundred years, or even more... This time is also a rare time for us to practice in peace. I hope you will not waste this good opportunity, otherwise Fanming will be separated from Xiaocangjie before, and it may happen again in the future."

The people below all looked gloomy as they listened to Wang Ba's words.

Liang Wuji, who was also at the Lianxu stage, looked at Wang Ba with respect.

Although Wang Ba is only the deputy leader of the Wanxiang Sect, anyone can see that he is already the de facto master of the Xiaocang Realm.

His own cultivation level has already reached the top among the cultivators in Xiaocang Realm.

With a wave of his hand, the boundary membrane opens and closes according to his will.

There is a vast amount of spiritual energy in the realm, which can be drawn from to replenish the dojo.

The four spirits guarding the four poles of the realm also allow themselves to be driven. With a single thought, one can know that the true spirit has reincarnated and stands within the realm, seemingly knowing everything...

He is not blind, so how could he not see how powerful this kind of person is?
What's more, Wang Ba acted fairly. At least he could have easily annexed the other two families, but he still cared about the brotherhood among the three families. He would lend them enlightenment treasures whenever he wanted, and he was not stingy with many resources.

Although this is done for the overall safety of the Kokura world, if you put yourself in their shoes, you will never do any better.

He even went out of his way to help the descendants of the Qin family, which had been exterminated, rebuild their family.

After all these events, Liang Wuji was truly convinced.

Even if Wang Ba and the Wanxiang Sect were just trying to win people's hearts, he accepted it.

The first opening response is:
"Fellow Daoist Wang is right. We, the Changsheng Sect, will practice hard and will fully cooperate if needed!"

Seeing Liang Wuji speak, Xiong Zhaojing immediately followed.

Wang Ba saw this and did not miss this opportunity. He said in a deep voice:

"I do have an idea here. I decided to open a Hundred Arts Academy."

"Hundred Arts Academy?"

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion.

Ling Weizi asked doubtfully:

"May I ask, Deputy Sect Master, what is this Hundred Arts Academy?"

Wang Ba then expressed his thoughts:

"All along, every household in Xiaocang has been very proud of their own skills, and they have made things very difficult for the inheritors. Although our Wanxiang Sect is open-minded and accepts all kinds of practitioners, it also has this problem with core inheritance, so many high-quality skills have no successors, and some skills that consume a lot of resources but are not cost-effective have become popular in the world."

"If it were in the past, no one would care about these things, but now the Xiaocang Realm is trapped here, and it is unknown how long it will last. In order to make the best use of all resources, many skills must keep pace with the times, be economical, and be efficient, so that one thing can have more effects and benefit more people."

"The Hundred Arts Academy is where all the skills in the Xiaocang world are passed down. Anyone with a skill, regardless of whether they are from one of the three sects or a clan, or a casual cultivator, can enter the academy. As long as they pass the assessment, they can become a teacher in the academy. They can learn more advanced content in the academy, communicate with fellow practitioners, and teach the younger generation to earn a salary, which is also a resource for cultivation."

"Among them, if the results of their skills or research are adopted by the Land Hall, or even if they become deacons employed by the Land Hall, they will all be rewarded with corresponding resources. You can plan these in detail. The monks who have completed their studies can also be given priority to enter the Land Hall. In short, we need to mobilize all the monks of the Hundred Arts category and let their talents and abilities be used to strengthen the Xiaocang world."

"This……"

Wang Ba's proposal obviously shocked many people in the hall.

The difference is that Changsheng Sect and Youxian Temple were more surprised, while Ji Ying, Lingweizi and others from Wanxiang Sect all frowned slightly and looked hesitant.

The inheritance of skills can be said to be an important pillar of the Wanxiang Sect since its establishment, and it has provided a large amount of resources for the Wanxiang Sect.

In order to leave the Xiaocang Realm, the Wanxiang Sect has collected countless skills books, recipes, etc. over the past tens of thousands of years.

Wang Ba was the beneficiary because of his merits earned in the past.

Now that so many of the Wanxiang Sect's skills are to be opened to the outside world, people like Ji Ying and Ling Weizi will inevitably feel unwilling and even suffer a great loss.

Qi Yan, who had a very close relationship with Wang Ba, couldn't even help but secretly send a message to Wang Ba.

But the height at which Wang Ba is standing is different now.

He knew very well that what was more important at the moment was to make good use of every resource within the Xiaocang Realm and strengthen the number of cultivators within the Xiaocang Realm as much as possible.

As for the independent cultivators and the other two sects...to be honest, once they really enter the system envisioned by Wang Ba, they will all be completely bound by the Wanxiang Sect.

Even if they are not members of the Wanxiang Sect in name, there is no difference in reality.

But there is no coercion in this process, instead it is able to mobilize the enthusiasm of every Hundred Arts cultivator to the greatest extent.

So he looked at everyone without changing his expression.

Under his gaze, the people from the Wanxiang Sect, who originally had some opinions, finally lowered their heads one by one.

After Wan Tianqing, Wang Ba's prestige has reached a point that no one can shake. Even if Shao Yangzi and others were present at this moment, the result would not be different.

After a pause, he announced an even more important decision:

"In addition, in order to ensure that resources such as cultivation and various spiritual objects and materials are not wasted, from today onwards, all resources in the dojo, including spiritual energy, will be allocated at the minimum amount. Unless you are a teacher or student of the Hundred Arts Academy, or have obtained special approval, you are not allowed to carry out Hundred Arts refining activities without authorization. You can apply for additional resource allocations in special circumstances, such as when you are about to pass a tribulation or are seriously injured, but all of these need to be reviewed."

"Everyone needs to be paid according to their work. The more you work, the more you get. Only cultivators who are good at fighting can serve in the Tianyuan Palace, but there are many tests..."

Upon hearing this decision, the monks in the hall looked slightly gloomy, but they were not surprised.

Nowadays, the supply of resources in the dojo is relatively abundant, and the appeal of the Baiyi Academy is not that strong. However, when this clause was thrown out, the importance of the Baiyi Academy suddenly increased.

It was obviously specially formulated to promote the Hundred Arts Academy.

Of course, this method of distribution is indeed the only choice that Ogura Kai has at the moment.

Wang Ba looked at the people below and sighed slightly in his heart.

If there was sufficient chaos source outside the realm, he would not have to resort to such a desperate measure.

Nowadays, we have to tighten our belts and concentrate our efforts on major tasks.

It is not known whether the goal can be achieved successfully through distribution according to work and the industry-university-research system.

He was not clear about this either.

Of course there is resistance, after all, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, but those who can create resistance are all in this palace, and looking around, there is really no one who can pose a real threat to him.

What's more, everyone in the hall is at a very high level. They either have skills or are good at fighting. They don't need to worry about getting the minimum quota.

We discussed it again.

By pooling ideas from all quarters, these two systems have been further improved.

Seeing that it was not as difficult to implement as expected, Wang Ba just became a hands-off manager as usual.

But before leaving, he called Wang Yian away alone.

"Father……"

Walking out of Chunyang Palace, Wang Yian looked confused.

After his physical body was restored, he has become less active than before. He is now silent and seldom talks, like a completely different person.

"Well, come walk with me."

Wang Ba glanced at the white hair on Wang Yian's head, and a hint of pity flashed across his eyes imperceptibly.

He nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back and left the dojo first. Wang Yian was a little confused, but still followed him.

Soon he discovered that his father had actually opened the boundary membrane and flew straight into the boundary.

The direction is the Northern Continent where the real warriors are. (End of this chapter)
