Chapter 846: Chapter 4 The Secret of the Divine Beast Chapter 846: Chapter 4 The Secret of the Divine Beast The new spirit food recipe held great allure for every cultivator in the Spirit Food Departnt.
Everyone knew that contributing it to the Sect would yield a handso amount of rit.
As for mass production, that was of secondary importance to most people; at most, the rit awarded by the Sect would be substantially less.
But even so, it represented a sizeable inco.
Thus, upon hearing Wang Ba’s words, the deacons exchanged glances, their eyes briefly scanning over several other oddly-shaped Spirit Beasts beside Wang Ba, and the atmosphere instantly grew delicate.
At that mont, a deacon whose position was sowhat unsteady couldn’t help but cough:
“Minister Wang, I do have so insights into handling Spirit Beasts…”
Wang Ba imdiately revealed a smile:
“Old Liao?
Haha, perfect, I’m not too adept at these…
...
Co, lend a hand, let’s see how to match the treatnt liquid…
You won’t be busy for nothing, if we do co up with a recipe, I’ll reserve second authorship for you.”
“Second authorship?”
The deacon was sowhat puzzled.

Wang Ba chuckled:
“Yes, for a spirit food recipe, there must be a combination of treatnt liquid proportioning, alchemy technique, and control of the fire…
If we truly develop a new recipe, I’ll naturally be the first author, but since you’ll be the one to figure out the treatnt liquid proportion, you’ll naturally be the second author.
When the rit cos down, we’ll divide it according to contribution, of course.
However, I’ll have to take at least seventy percent, since these Spirit Beasts were procured by .”
“That’s possible?!”
The deacon’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He hadn’t thought this through and only wanted to assist on the sidelines.
Minister Wang had just taken office, and by offering help in a ti of need, he hoped to ease their relationship and foster good karma.
After all, even if Wang Ba wasn’t promoted to Vice Minister, it was far from his turn.
So, his inner turmoil was far less intense than that of the deacons who were most likely to succeed.
Yet he didn’t expect to stumble upon such a fortuitous opportunity.
And he imdiately realized its potential.
“This new Vice Minister is truly willing to spend a fortune for a horse’s bones…”
Although he grasped this point, it didn’t cause him any displeasure.
What’s wrong with being the horse’s bones?
This was rit delivered to his doorstep!
Without any hesitation, he imdiately went over and skillfully began processing the carcass of the Spirit Beast.
To show off his abilities, he even perford so fancy tricks, wielding a spirit knife with Ghostly swiftness.
“This Old Liao…
is so eager to get ahead!”
The deacons silently communicated with their eyes.
Despite what they said, many of them began to grow interested.
They all knew about Minister Cui Daqi’s background and were no strangers to the rit represented by a spirit food recipe.
A Class III spirit food recipe alone could fetch at least a few thousand points of rit, and even if they only got a part of the thirty percent share, it was still equivalent to several years, or even over a decade of inco from official duties and side benefits.
Just then, Kong Yao could no longer hold back.
He squeezed out a smile with a hint of acquiescence:
“Minister Wang…
cough, from what you say, if we help out as well, is there a chance for a third or fourth authorship?”
The night had passed, and his mood had also sowhat improved.
He knew that Wang Ba’s ascension to the position of Vice Minister was all but confird and that any further fixation would be in vain.
Now, hearing Wang Ba’s sowhat novel idea, he imdiately beca interested.
Rather than the rit itself, he was more concerned about having his na on a new spirit food recipe.
After all, he owned a spirit food store and had an additional source of inco compared to ordinary deacons.
If he could have his na on a new spirit food recipe, it would indirectly prove his abilities and undoubtedly help the business of his spirit food store.
Hearing Kong Yao’s question, many in the crowd pricked up their ears, paying close attention.
Seeing Kong Yao’s cooperative deanor, Wang Ba naturally wouldn’t refuse.
He laughed and said:
“Third and fourth authorships are certainly possible, as long as everyone agrees.
However, a maximum of six authors, no more than that—it would be sowhat unreasonable, given that there are only so many steps in the production of spirit food.”
“That would be excellent, haha, very excellent indeed.”
Kong Yao’s eyes sparkled, and he imdiately rolled up his sleeves: “Little Liao, co, let give you a hand.”
However, Wang Ba raised his hand to stop Kong Yao, his expression slightly grim as he shook his head:
“That won’t do.”
Kong Yao was taken aback, his face becoming stiff.
The deacons below also tensed up, their expressions growing somber.
The atmosphere instantly beca quietly tense.
But at that mont,
A smile suddenly blossod on Wang Ba’s face, pointing to another Spirit Beast carcass:
“Old Kong, with your excellent skills, wouldn’t you help with that one?”
Kong Yao imdiately snapped out of it, joyfully responding:
“Thank you, Minister Wang!”
“You’re being too formal.
I’ve just started my tenure, and it was you, Old Kong, who helped arrange matters.”
Wang Ba said, halting Kong Yao with a smile.
Seeing Kong Yao, a veteran deacon with considerable prestige in the Spirit Food Departnt, throw himself at the rcy of Minister Wang, the other deacons glanced at each other and soon a few more volunteered to join.
Once the ice began to lt, it wasn’t long before it turned into water.
Before long, except for a few stubborn deacons, Wang Ba was surrounded by people.
The dozen or so Spirit Beasts he had brought were all divided up.
Yet, there were still many who hadn’t managed to get a share.
Wang Ba, however, did not imdiately reveal more, but his gaze swept over the few deacons still struggling to let go of their pride.
He then smiled and said to everyone:
“Those of you who haven’t had a chance to help, don’t worry.
Hehe, I have plenty more Spirit Beast corpses here, and I’m still sorting through them.
I estimate we could co up with dozens of recipes, which should be sufficient.
Once everything is sorted, I’ll ask for your help again.
By then, I hope everyone will still be willing to lend a hand.”
