Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant Chapter 2474 227: Threat (Part 2)

Without delay, he laid out the intention behind his visit to the Master of Quiet Cave and Xuan Yuanzi.

"Beyond honoring my commitment to guide the reincarnated entities, I find myself in need of borrowing certain spirit materials."

Upon hearing this request, the Master of Quiet Cave maintained silence, opting instead to glance toward Xuan Yuanzi.

Xuan Yuanzi grasped the signal and inquired with a measured tone:

"If the request is reasonable, it should not present a difficulty. However, I must ask, what is the precise quantity you require?"

Though he held the past fellowship with Wang Ba in high regard, the spirit materials were vital for the progress of the reincarnated bodies. Thus, prudence was essential, particularly under the watchful gaze of the Master of Quiet Cave.

Wang Ba performed a swift mental calculation before responding:

"Roughly one-third... though if that proves impossible, one-fourth would be sufficient."

Truthfully, one-fourth would fall short, and even one-third was far from ideal.

Nevertheless, even requesting a fourth was a significant demand; asking for anything more felt entirely improper.

Xuan Yuanzi balanced the numbers in his mind and shared a brief, quiet exchange with the Master of Quiet Cave.

Suddenly, the Master of Quiet Cave addressed him directly:

"You may claim half of the stores here. There is no requirement for repayment."

Stunned and visibly taken aback, Wang Ba looked toward Xuan Yuanzi with a hesitant expression.

Xuan Yuanzi spoke with gravity:

"Half should prove more than adequate. The Master suggests that you dispatch reliable cultivators here to oversee the necessities of the reincarnated bodies."

The current total of innate divine demons is quite limited, with only two to three thousand presently manifested within the domain. While their consumption will inevitably climb as time progresses, the vast stockpiles accumulated over the eons in this domain are more than capable of enduring such a burden.

Furthermore, these cultivators are nowhere near the point of crossing tribulation, requiring tens of thousands of years of growth before reaching that threshold.

During those long millennia, there is ample opportunity to replenish the stores with a fresh harvest of spirit materials.

Additionally, the abundance of Chaos Origin Substance near the Quiet Cave is more than sufficient to accommodate this level of generosity.

However, since Wang Ba had originally sought to borrow, he felt compelled to offer a fair exchange:

"These spirit materials possess immense worth. Merely sending a few cultivators here is hardly an equitable trade for such an offering."

"How is this: prior to this, when I guided the reincarnated bodies within the domain, I provided only the basics of cultivation. While adequate for their current progress, it is far from comprehensive. I shall now craft a bespoke set of Dharma for each one, guiding them toward the Tribulation-Transcending Realm. Consider it a gesture of gratitude for the generosity of the Master of Quiet Cave."

This declaration left both the Master of Quiet Cave and Xuan Yuanzi visibly surprised.

Xuan Yuanzi felt compelled to interject:

"Would this not be an overwhelming burden?"

It is common knowledge that the best cultivation Dharma is that which is perfectly tailored to the individual. Yet, every lineage is the culmination of generations of refinement; they are not easily fabricated.

The Master of Quiet Cave also wore a look of profound curiosity.

Though he did not practice cultivation himself, his knowledge was vast, and he understood the immense difficulty of such a feat. Recognizing this as a golden opportunity for the reincarnated innate divine demons, he chose not to object, merely advising:

"Do not overexert yourself."

Wang Ba offered a faint smile and immediately released his aura.

The reincarnated innate divine demons, having previously been guided by Wang Ba in this domain, felt his familiar presence. Surprised and elated, they swarmed toward him. Upon seeing both the Master of Quiet Cave and Wang Ba, they bowed deeply, addressing Wang Ba as 'teacher' with eyes brimming with reverence.

Wang Ba greeted them with a smile and, without delay, turned his focus to the cultivator nearest to him. After a moment of contemplation, he traced a new cultivation method into the void, perfectly aligned with the cultivator's essence.

"Henceforth, follow this Dharma. It is the path best suited to your nature."

The cultivator examined the method, his heart fluttering as he initiated the flow of Qi. Everything clicked into place with innate ease. Overjoyed, he memorized the technique and offered Wang Ba a deep bow of gratitude.

Wang Ba continued his work, one by one, instructing each of them in turns.

The effortless manner in which Wang Ba generated these unique cultivation methods on the spot left the Master of Quiet Cave and Xuan Yuanzi utterly stunned.

Xuan Yuanzi watched closely, inspecting the techniques Wang Ba had written for the reincarnations.

Some were enigmatic, others profound, some crystalline in their clarity, yet every single character was a treasure—no filler, no nonsense.

Most importantly, the development and methodology for each individual were distinct. These were not mere variations of a single template, but unique paths capable of reaching the pinnacle of the great path.

The depth of this foundation left Xuan Yuanzi in a state of awe:

"Wang is truly a divine figure!"

The Master of Quiet Cave fixed his gaze on Wang Ba, his eyes shimmering as if weighing the potential of what he had just witnessed.

Regardless of their inner turbulence, Wang Ba continued his work with the cultivators.

He was a master of ten thousand Dharma, having comprehended countless lineages throughout the Sea of Chaos Realm. Standing at a pinnacle just below Mahayana, his proficiency with the laws of cultivation was such that he rivaled those who had already reached that level. Even in the Canlong Realm, his discussions with Heavenly Monarch Chao had been those of equals.

To him, crafting personalized Dharma based on the unique attributes of these followers was no challenge; a single glance was all he needed to conceptualize a perfect path.
