This was a small part of his careful consideration.
However, he was well aware that cultivation in the Dharma Lineage was like a gold-consuming giant, where income could not keep up with expenditures was the norm.
Moreover, the young man in front of him was just a Foundation Establishment Competitor, and twenty thousand merits were too much for him.
Otherwise, Yao Wudi wouldn't have spent all his merits.
He even hesitated to buy precious items for self-healing.
As he thought about this, the Taoist in blue clothes softened his tone slightly:
"Don't overthink it. The cultivation path inherently involves many karmic mechanisms. Don't feel down because of this. After you return, focus on cultivating diligently, and don't let your master's earnest expectations down."
"You may return now!"
With those words, he flicked his sleeve.
Wang Ba didn't feel anything at all, and upon looking down, he realized he was already in the sky above Wanfa Peak.
