Chapter 519: Chapter 8 Spirit Food Department_2

Wang Ba, being naturally adaptable, followed the other party and left the Ancestral Temple. Upon descending, there seemed to be no trace of the violent wind they had encountered before.

They continued to fly downward.

Soon, they saw again the three towering and sprawling halls with cultivators working back and forth.

At the Rende Hall, Wang Ba received an Identity Waist Tag, a letter of appointment, and other items for his position at the Spirit Food Department in the Wood Division of the Diwu Hall.

Afterwards, they continued their descent.

In the blink of an eye, the vast plain below came into view.

On the plain, there was a sapphire-like lake, a sprawling forest, low-lying mines…

Very quickly, under the guidance of the cultivator from the Rende Hall, the scenes below rapidly enlarged until they landed in front of rows of two-story bamboo houses.

Although they were bamboo houses, there was nothing rustic about them. On the contrary, they were filled with a sense of freshness, natural grandeur, and luxury.

In the vicinity of the bamboo houses, there were several cultivators coming in and out.

Upon seeing Wang Ba and the cultivator from Rende Hall, some immediately stopped, looking curiously at Wang Ba.

An experienced cultivator looked at Wang Ba, his eyes gleaming expectantly as he asked:

“Are you a newcomer assigned to a department?”

“He’s from the Spirit Food Department. Is Senior Brother Jiang or Minister Cui around?”

The cultivator from Rende Hall cut in.

Upon hearing that he was from the Spirit Food Department, the other cultivator’s face fell:

“Ah, Spirit Food Department… Always so kick back. Can’t believe the Rende Hall keeps pushing people there while we in the Spirit Plant Department are always short-handed. Those Class III spirit fields are about to be abandoned…”

The Rende Hall cultivator was absolutely speechless at this.

Wang Ba also felt a little embarrassed.

But the other party didn’t harbor any ill intent. Although he murmured a bit, he still directioned them:

“Minister Cui, I heard he went to deal with a Class IV demonic beast’s corpse. But Vice Minister He should be here, you guys can find him.”

With that, he pointed in a certain direction intentionally.

“That was Senior Brother Jiang from the Spirit Plant Department. Don’t take his words to heart. Working in the Spirit Food Department is very fulfilling. The benefits are good and crafting spirit food can also train a cultivator’s control over mana.”

Not long after they walked away, the Rende Hall cultivator immediately comforted Wang Ba.

This was also one of the Rende Hall cultivator’s responsibilities.

Wang Ba, however, didn’t mind at all. If it was a bit more relaxed, then it wasn’t really a bad thing. He would have more time to do other things. Not to mention, once he officially started the cultivation of the Dharma Lineage method, things probably won’t be easy.

Very quickly

The two of them came across a group of cultivators lounging in bamboo chairs outside a bamboo house in a corner, basking under the sun, breathing in the essence of the sunlight, while enjoying spirit wine.

Technically, since both Wang Ba and the Rende Hall cultivator were cultivators and they didn’t deliberately hide their presences, the people here should have noticed them immediately.

However, in reality, not one of these men moved.

They dismissed both Wang Ba and the cultivator from the Rende Hall with a glance and continued drinking and sunbathing.

Wang Ba’s eyes lit up.

This is the right place indeed!

The face of the Rende Hall cultivator, which had been bright before, suddenly turned dark.

Especially when he saw an older man, with sparse white hair and a face flushed with alcohol lounging around, he finally couldn’t help but shout:

“Vice Minister He!”

The drunken old man who was looking up drinking from a gourd of wine didn’t respond until he had drained the last drop out of the gourd.

Then, he lazily turned his gaze towards Wang Ba and the Rende Hall cultivator.

Seeing the two of them, he laughed drunkenly, his eyes half-closed and both cheeks flushed:

“Ah! If it isn’t Zhang Bao! What are you doing here and not with Old Luo? Hic… Why don’t you join us for a drink…”

Zhang Bao, the Rende Hall cultivator, was so frustrated that his face turned black. He couldn’t help but say:

“Vice Minister He! Although you cultivate through spirit wine, this is, after all, the Spirit Food Department. As the Vice Minister, you should lead by example, abide by rules and regulations. How can you behave like this…”

“You’re talking about the spirit food allotment ?… Hic… Anybody can handle that. It was done a long…time ago…”

The old man chuckled, pulling another gourd of wine from his wet sleeve, and poured a mouthful directly into his mouth. The strong aroma coupled with a unique charm was mouthwatering to both Wang Ba and Zhang Bao.

“Great wine!”

Wang Ba couldn’t help but praise.

He had brewed spirit wine himself and would occasionally have a few cups with Bu Chan.

He was able to discern the quality of spirit wine.

Hearing Wang Ba’s praise, the old man chugged the last bit of his wine, and then wiped his mouth eagerly, straining to open his eyes to look at Wang Ba:

“Young man, are you a wine lover too?”

“Replying to the Minister… I don’t mind it.”

Wang Ba replied with a smile.

He wouldn’t say he was a big fan, but he could appreciate the flavors.

Suddenly, to his surprise, the old man popped up at his side, arm slung around his shoulders, passed him a gourd of wine, and chuckled: ”

“Haha! Try some of my wine then!”

Wang Ba didn’t refuse; he took the gourd, and without a thought, put it to his lips for a quick sniff. Suddenly, he felt a wave of dizziness hit him!

He hurriedly used his mana to drive it away, but instead, the dizzy feeling only intensified!

Wang Ba was shocked.

He had never encountered a spirit wine that even his mana could not dispel.

And this was before he even took a sip; he had only sniffed it!

“My spirit wine is very potent. Don’t even think about dispelling it with mana!”

The old man by his side laughed proudly.

Wang Ba had a sudden thought, and the power of the Yin God within his Spiritual Government started flowing. The dizziness in his head quickly eased.
