Chapter 385: Chapter 23: Seeing Tang Ji Again_5
Tang Ji couldn’t help but reveal a trace of embarrassment and helplessness:
“Shen, don’t blame me, I’m doing this for your benefit. If I gave it to you, and those old guys found out, even if you really entered our sect as a disciple, you would more than likely be evicted by them. You’re better off cultivating a Class III Spirit Beast honestly, and taking the least controversial route to entering the sect.”
After some brief pondering, Tang Ji suddenly said to Shang Li:
“You go contact Senior Brother Qi for me immediately!”
“Hmm?”
The somewhat absent-minded Shang Li on the side was immediately taken aback, “Why are you looking for Grandmaster Qi?”
“Too many questions, just do what you’re told already!”
“Oh”
To Tang Ji’s surprise, his nephew Shang Li was unexpectedly cooperative today, which made him a little uncomfortable.
“Did you switch partners? You’re quite agreeable.”
Tang Ji couldn’t help but say.
The color on Shang Li’s face immediately darkened.
However, he still retrieved a stone from the side palace, intoned a chant while forming a magical seal, and immediately infused mana into the stone.
But there was no sound from inside the stone.
Shang Li said with a dark face:
“Grandmaster Qi is probably still in the sect right now and has not opened the ‘Single Connect’. You might want to try the ‘Group Connect’.”
“‘Group Connect’?”
Tang Ji hesitated a bit.
This stone is a long-distance communication tool exclusively for the Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect. It can contact people both individually and collectively.
“Well, let’s give it a try.”
Shang Li didn’t speak any more, he once again intoned a chant while forming a magical seal, and soon, a crackling noise was heard from the stone.
Tang Ji immediately walked up to the small stone, coughed once, and then said:
“Senior Brother Qi, are you there? This is Tang Ji.”
“Senior Brother Qi?”
“Senior Brother Qi, are you there?”
He asked repeatedly.
It was only then that the somewhat chilly voice of a middle-aged man came from the small stone:
“Junior Brother Tang, what can I do for you?”
“Heh, naturally it’s a good thing!”
Tang Ji didn’t really care about Senior Brother Qi’s indifference.
After a long Cultivation, some people’s emotions become indifferent. Senior Brother Qi specializes in the Way of Beast Tamer, and is unrivaled among the Nascent Soul cultivators.
He’s always focussed on Spirit Beasts, so naturally, he has less human touch.
But that doesn’t matter. The main thing is to find a suitable teacher for Shen Fu.
Senior Brother Qi is undoubtedly the most suitable for Shen Fu.
So he bluntly said:
“Senior Brother Qi, in the Yan State under the rule of the great Chu Dynasty, I found a Foundation Establishment Competitor named Shen Fu who is extremely good at cultivating Spirit Beasts and has many unique insights about Spirit Beasts. I want to introduce him to you as a disciple. May I know what you think?”
“A disciple?”
From the stone, the cold voice of Senior Brother Qi revealed a trace of almost undetectable surprise, far from the excitement Tang Ji had anticipated.
In the stone, after a moment of silence, Senior Brother Qi finally spoke:
“Has he cultivated a Class III Spirit Beast?”
Tang Ji:” Eh… he is only at the middle-stage of foundation establishment … ”
“So he hasn’t, that can’t be called ‘good at’.”
Senior Brother Qi said indifferently.
“That’s not true, he is really good at it. When I saw the record books he had written, I was impressed.”
“Guess what, he’s actually researching purifying and tracing the Spirit Beast’s bloodline, and his thoughts are clear. He even suggested that mutated Spirit Beasts could be part of the bloodline of the original ancestors. Only cultivators at the Immortal Ascension level will touch on this…”
Tang Ji hurriedly defended.
In the stone, Senior Brother Qi did not speak, but there was just an unnoticeable sigh.
“It seems that this kid has some unrealistic ambitions.”
“Has he passed the Baiwen Tower?”
“Oh… this… he hasn’t.”
“Apart from this, does he have any other merits?”
Tang Ji hurriedly responded: “Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment! He is Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!”
However, for this, Senior Brother Qi only sighed: “This doesn’t count… The disciples of our Beast Control lineage, wanting to achieve Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment is simpler than for other cultivators. Is there anything else?”
Tang Ji was stunned.
Even this doesn’t work?
Are Qi’s requirements this high?
But besides Beast Control, what other advantages does Shen Fu have?
His character is not bad, full of gratitude, but this could not be considered a big advantage.
Tang Ji couldn’t think of anything for a while, but when his eyes swept over the box full of Spirit Stones in his hand, his eyes immediately lit up:
“He’s very wealthy! He has a lot of Spirit Stones! And he’s very good at earning Spirit Stones!”
There was silence in the stone.
Just when Tang Ji thought there was no hope, Senior Brother Qi finally spoke:
“Alright then. As you recommend him, he must have some capabilities. After I go to the Yan Dynasty, I’ll head for Yan State…”
“Going to the Yan Dynasty first?”
Tang Ji first relaxed, immediately became startled and quickly said:
“No way! Senior Brother Qi! This disciple that I found for you is in a crisis. I deliberately didn’t help him. If you can come in time and save him from this predicament, he will definitely be grateful!”
However, for Tang Ji’s words, in the small stone, Senior Brother Qi’s voice seemed indifferent.
“Alright, Junior Brother Tang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll end the conversation here.”
“Senior Brother Qi, this kid is really extraordinary. His talent for Beast Control is the best I’ve ever seen in my life… Senior Brother Qi? Senior Brother Qi?!”
In a place far away from Yan State.
An indifferent middle-aged figure with gray hair blocked the voice from a small stone.
He frowned slightly with an expressionless face:
“This Junior Brother Tang, really doesn’t know the rules, intervening in my affairs of taking in disciples.”
“Shen Fu… heh.”
Soon, he put this name aside.
He quickly stepped onto the Teleportation Array towards the Yan Dynasty.
There, it is said that there was a genius with extremely high attainments in the field of Beast Control, who is the kind of person whom he viewed as likely to be able to inherit his skills.
At the same time.
Yan’s Linglong Ghost Market, Stage II.
Tang Ji looked confused.
He did not expect that the good teacher he had Labored to find for Shen Fu would directly reject him.
Shang Li on the side didn’t know what to say.
He could only secretly sigh for ‘Shen Fu’.
Shen Fu probably had no idea that he had quietly missed out on a great opportunity.
But just then.
The small stone suddenly started to crackle again.
Shang Li immediately revealed a puzzled expression: “Someone wants to ‘Single Connect’ with us?”
Tang Ji, still immersed in a state of frustration, impatiently replied: “Just connect.”
Shang Li nodded his head.
He quickly formed a magical seal.
Soon.
An elderly voice suddenly sounded within the small stone:
“Heh heh, little Tang, I heard that there’s a lad with a lot of Spirit Stones at your place?”
Hearing this voice, Tang Ji immediately flinched!
In an instant, he remembered the dread he felt being bossed around by this person just a short while ago!
