Chapter 450: Chapter 41 Class III Wu Monkey King_3

“Is it the teacher you mentioned earlier that you would find for me?”

Tang Ji shook his head, yet also nodded.

He began to speak:

“Having the opportunity to learn from a good teacher is certainly a matter of fortune. However, what I’m referring to is that you have the opportunity to join the sect that stands behind me.”

Wang Ba was immediately confused.

Aren’t the teacher and the sect related?

Seeing Wang Ba’s confusion, Tang Ji patiently explained:

“Detailed information about my sect will be given to you after my superiors have reviewed your qualifications.”

“In fact, the sect I represent only recognizes disciples who enter through one of three means. First, those without cultivation, pure of heart, and remarkably talented.”

“Secondly, cultivators like yourself, from Fenglin Continent or beyond, upright and disciplined, possessing unique abilities. Qi refining, foundation establishment, or even Golden Core are acceptable.”

“Lastly, or those who are prominent figures. They may serve as guests of the sect, or have made extraordinary contributions, and thereby be admitted in exceptional cases, and so forth.”

“Only the above categories are recognized by our sect. Any disciple accepted privately by a cultivator of our sect that does not meet these criteria is considered an external nominal disciple, not included within the sect, not granted access to personal teachings, and not granted protection by the sect.”

Since hearing this, Wang Ba felt impressed by the strict requirements.

But this also seemed reassuring.

Such a strict sect would not be weak.

He began to look forward to it.

Tang Ji smiled and said, “The teacher I found for you is naturally a member of my sect. However, if you cannot enter my sect, even if he accepts you as his disciple, you will only be a nominal external disciple, deprived of personal teachings, your potential would be in vain. Fortunately, you did not disappoint me.”

There was a hint of relief in Tang Ji’s eyes.

Wang Ba gratefully acknowledged his words.

Without Tang Ji’s guidance, he would probably still be on a roundabout path, and it would be very unlikely for him to come into contact with a sect of this level.

At this moment, something seemed to have occurred to Tang Ji. He looked puzzled:

“Exactly, why would the sect master of the Xuli Sect target you guys?”

Zhao Feng involuntarily looked at Wang Ba.

Though he had guessed something, Wang Ba was the target and should know more about the situation.

Wang Ba didn’t dare to conceal anything. After entering Yanqiao Pass, he made contact with an injured Yan Qing. Combining what Yan Qing said, he made a guess:

“The Xuli Sect likely wants to capture me and use me to create spirit food in order to take over the market here at Yanqiao Pass.”

Of course, they might also want to kill him .

But Lin Boyue did not use any killer moves on him, so that possibility was small.

Tang Ji nodded slightly.

He didn’t pay too much mind to the spirit food Wang Ba was talking about.

Spirit food is useful for low-to-medium-level cultivators, but with the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages, the number of high-grade Spirit Beasts decreases significantly, which reduces the number of spirit foods that can be created.

And the effect of spirit food on cultivators usually requires a large quantity to show up.

This determines that spirit food is not very popular among medium- and high-level cultivators, and Alchemy Dao is still more desirable.

However, this doesn’t have much relevance to the current situation.

Tang Ji frowned slightly:

“I initially planned to give this Xuli Sect Master a slight penalty, but Xiang Huang was afraid that I would kill this person, so he made someone persuade me, and it would be inconvenient for me to act.”

Wang Ba nodded in understanding when he heard this.

He could also tell something from the situation at that time.

It was clear that this Prince Gao Xiang Huang was protecting Lin Boyue.

But this is normal.

After all, Lin Boyue is a cultivator of Yan State, and Prince Gao is the guardian of Yan State.

In a strict sense, Lin Boyue is also a subordinate of Prince Gao. Now with the Kingdom of Immortals launching a massive invasion, it is the time to make use of all available manpower.

Who could bear to kill a Golden Core craftsman on the spot?

Is a Golden Core cultivator a leek that grows so well in the field?

Tang Ji pondered:

“Although this Xuli Sect Master probably won’t dare to make plans for you.”

“However, the current situation is becoming increasingly chaotic. You and Zhao Feng had better stay in Yanqiao Pass for now and not go around.”

“Wait until I return from Qiao State, I will then report your situation upwards.”

“Elder Tang is going to Qiao State?”

Wang Ba was surprised.

Tang Ji looked helpless:

“I originally thought that your cultivation of a Class III Spirit Beast may need some time.”

“I had nothing to do, and the price he offered was also suitable. So when Xiang Huang came to ask for my help in supporting Qiao State before, I agreed.”

“I didn’t expect…”

Tang Ji shook his head and regretted that he had agreed to Xiang Huang before but he couldn’t break his promise now.

He could only comfort himself:

“I have seen that Yanqiao Pass is being managed quite decently by Xiang Huang, and it’s protected by formations, and one of his Dao companions is stationed here. So you should be safer here than anywhere else.”

“After I leave, you and Zhao Feng will stay here.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba had no objections.

To him, whether he was in or out of Yanqiao Pass, it was almost the same.

The only difference was that Yanqiao Pass was more compact and there were many people around.

Luckily, the house Prince Gao gave to Tang Ji did not need to worry about this.

There was also another advantage.

At least the people from the Xuli Sect dare not easily find him for trouble again.

After exchanging views on cultivation with Tang Ji, Wang Ba and Zhao Feng went to the Changyi Society.

It was rumored that there were Class III treasures in the Changyi Society, this is why Wang Ba came over in the first place.
