Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 176
The second floor of Linglong Ghost City is crowded with people.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators lowered their bodies from time to time in some compact booths and asked in low voices.

Benefiting from the dense flow of people, a fair-looking female nun soon asked curiously in front of Wang Ba's booth.

"This is spiritual food, all made from first-grade low-grade spiritual chickens, the effect is comparable to medicinal pills, but there is no erysipelas..."

Hearing Wang Ba's explanation, the female cultivator's eyes lit up immediately: "I've never heard of this before, can I try it?"

Wang Ba hesitated for a while, but did not refuse.

Most casual cultivators have never been exposed to this kind of spiritual food, at most they have tasted spiritual rice and spiritual wine.

So it's normal not to know.

The female cultivator took a sip, and then nodded in surprise: "Really! Although the potency is far inferior to the elixir, it is much easier to refine. As long as the amount is enough, it can really be compared to the elixir!"

"How many spirit stones do you need for this pot of spirit chicken essence?"

Wang Ba hesitated for a while, and said a price that he thought was acceptable:

"This pot of 40 yuan mid-grade spirit stones."

In fact, when he was on the first floor of Linglong Ghost Market, the price he sold was almost 30 yuan a pot.

However, he thought that the Foundation Establishment cultivators had relatively loose money, and a slightly higher price should be acceptable.

Sure enough, when the female cultivator heard the price, she didn't make much counter-offer. After a little weighing, she simply took out 40 yuan of middle-grade spirit stones and gave them to Wang Ba.

Soon someone else took a fancy to the spirit chicken essence and asked about its price.

"The price is expensive. One Earth Element Pill is only ten middle-grade spirit stones. This basin is worth three or two Earth Element Pills at most."

The other party bargains.

But Wang Ba didn't give in at all.

"Heh, just watch your rotten goods get moldy!"

The other party finally sneered and left.

Wang Ba didn't care too much either. In business, one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer. He can't force people to buy his things.

Besides, he only refined ten pots in total, until sold out.

He didn't believe it couldn't be sold out.

People came and went, and it didn't take long for Wang Ba to sell two more pots here.

After thinking about it, he threw all the unused instruments, talismans, elixir, and a bunch of unneeded sundries in the storage bag on the booth, which attracted many people again.

After all, for most monks, these three are the most common needs.

Perhaps it was because the price Wang Ba offered was not high, and soon these sundries were swept away, and there were more than 300 middle-grade spirit stones in Wang Ba's storage bag.

Among them, the second-order middle-grade hammer-shaped magic weapon obtained from 'Gao Zhenxiu' contributed a lot.

What made Wang Ba less satisfied was that there was no news of what he really needed.

However, the flow of people did not know why, and gradually became thinner.

This made Wang Ba a little confused, didn't it mean that the second floor of the ghost city lasted for half a month?How did the number of people decrease so quickly?

The one-eyed middle-aged monk who had been busy at the booth next to him finally got free and sat down to have a rest, and immediately chatted with Wang Ba in a familiar way.

Hearing Wang Ba's doubts, the one-eyed middle-aged monk laughed and said:

"Fellow Taoist seems to be here for the first time, so I don't know about it. On the second floor of this ghost city, there will be Daoist Jindan lecturing in the ghost city every day. You only need to pay some spirit stones to go in and listen. At this time Presumably there is a Jindan real person speaking, so the flow of people will decrease, and when this real person finishes speaking, the flow of people will naturally increase again."

"So that's it! Thank you fellow daoist for clarifying."

Wang Ba cupped his hands again and again, and couldn't help being extremely surprised in his heart.

This ghost market is still doing this. Although it is paid, it is more like a sect than some sects.

Anyway, he was in the Tianmen sect, and he had never heard of a Jindan real person in the sect giving lectures.

Of course, there may be, but it is not open to heretic monks.

Thinking of this, he also felt a little itchy.

Since becoming a monk, he has been groping almost alone, and the only one who has taught him in practice is Zhao Feng.

I have never listened to Jindan live lectures.

Immediately, he put away the booth, talked to the stallmate next to him, and walked in the direction pointed by the other party.

Soon, they saw a large courtyard full of people, and a Jindan Daoist was sitting on it, with a lotus flower in his tongue.

It's just that Wang Ba couldn't hear anything.

"What's going on here?"

Wang Ba asked a monk next to him curiously.

"The inside is 'Ren Yuji', who has entered the Jindan realm in just 120 years. Naturally, it talks about how to quickly practice and break through."

The other party seems to be quite familiar with this.

Wang Yan's heart moved when he heard the words, and he was able to step into the golden core in 120 years. This speed is indeed extremely amazing among casual cultivators.

Counting it down, this real Yuji didn't stay in front of the bottleneck for too long, and rushed to the Jindan realm smoothly.

For casual cultivators, it is really unbelievable.

I couldn't help being a little curious at the moment.

However, Wang Ba still inquired cautiously: "This fellow Taoist, why don't you go in?"

"Ha ha."

The other party just smiled and didn't explain.

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of the question, Wang Yan went to the gate of the courtyard, and only spent 1 middle-grade spirit stone, and walked into the formation smoothly.

But after listening for a while, Wang Ba regretted it.

I also understand why that person didn't come in just now.

Just because what the real Yuji preached was to let the monks take as much as possible those elixirs that have significant effects but also have a lot of erysipelas, and even suggested taking more of them to achieve mutual balance and the effect of fighting poison with poison.

Here, in order to prove his method and theory, he also analyzed the ingredients of the elixir in a simple and simple way, and what kind of reaction would occur after taking multiple elixirs together.

I have to say that his theory is indeed well-founded, and it has won the hearts of casual practitioners.

After all, casual cultivators are limited by their conditions, and most of them hope to use cheaper pills to achieve better results.

And those elixirs with heavier erysipelas are naturally much cheaper than ordinary elixirs.

Master Yuji provided them with theoretical basis and confidence, and the casual practitioners were naturally ecstatic.

And at the end, the operation that made Wang Ba the most amazing came.

Master Yuji sat on the altar, sighed with pity on his face:

"I also came here at this time, you guys. To tell you the truth, when I cultivated like you, I was always worried about whether taking these pills would affect my future becoming a Nascent Soul True Monarch... …Hehe, it’s not wrong to think about the long-term, but our casual cultivators are inherently low-qualified, precarious, and rejected by the sect, if we can’t even care about the immediate, how can we care about longer-term things?”

"Besides, our country of Yan, no, it should be a few nearby countries, I am afraid that there will be a big change!"

Master Yuji's eyes are bright.

"Have you heard? Wei State, which is separated from us by two countries, Qiao State and Xu State, was wiped out by a powerful force a few days ago!"

Hearing this news, the monks below were shocked and noisy.

"What? Is there such a thing?"

"Why have I never heard of it? Wei Guo, that country is not inferior to our Yan Guo!"

"What force did it? Could it be the Great Chu Dynasty?"

It is normal for sects to be destroyed in the ups and downs of the practice world, but it is extremely rare for a country to be destroyed.

Especially after the five dynasties of Great Yan in the North, Great Jin in the West, Great Chu in the South, Great Qi in the Middle, and Great Wu in the Southeast were stabilized, it was not uncommon for monks to massacre cities, but almost never heard of the destruction of the country.

Moreover, although Wei State is separated from Yan State by two countries, there are occasional monks from Wei State who come here to trade, and Yan State is not completely ignorant of Wei State.

It is precisely because of this that these monks are even more shocked.

But Master Yuji sighed:
"You don't know? It's normal if you don't know. After all, your cultivation base is not enough, and your eyes can't look at the entire cultivation world from this corner of Yan Kingdom. As far as I know, this force is called Wanshen Kingdom. It replaced the Great Wu Dynasty, the former overlord in the southeast, and even the Great Chu Dynasty suffered a lot in front of it."

"Now the momentum is getting more and more fierce. Maybe in less than a hundred years, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods will go west and annex Qiao Kingdom, Xu Kingdom, and even our Yan Kingdom!"

"When the time comes, the sect will be overthrown, and our unbearable casual cultivators may not be able to stay in the country of Yan, and will become homeless people, wandering in various countries, and be disgusted by the people of the world..."

Hearing the words of Master Yuji, the courtyard was suddenly silent.

Except for a few people, everyone was shocked by the future described by Master Yuji.

More than a hundred years may seem like a long time, but you must know that here are all foundation-building monks. According to the longevity of the foundation-building monks, many people here may have the opportunity to see that day.

Wang Ba couldn't help feeling terrified.

He remembered that when the Soul Search season was approaching, it seemed that the Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom hadn't expanded to the Kingdom of Wei... No, there were still two or three countries away from the Kingdom of Wei.

In less than ten years, the progress has been so rapid, which made Wang Ba truly realize the horror of the incense way for the first time!
And he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

With the expansion speed of Wanshen Kingdom, it will not take 100 years at all, and I am afraid that it will come under the eyes of the monks of Yan Kingdom in ten years at most.

As for the country of Yan, according to what Zhao Feng said, it is only a country of Song away from the country of Chen!

In this way, in at most 20 years, the Incense Road will occupy most of Fenglinzhou!

"At that time...even with the size of Fenglinzhou, I'm afraid there will be no room for me!"

Wang Ba was shocked.

And Master Yuji finally showed up, showing a compassionate attitude:
"Ben Zhenren knows that it is not easy for us to cultivate casually, so Ben Zhenren deliberately obtained many medicinal pills with outstanding effects from a friend who is an alchemist."

"This real person said first, this elixir has a strong erysipelas, and you should buy it carefully."

"If anyone is interested, you can go to the disciple of Ben Zhenren..."

Immediately, some monks who were already flustered couldn't help but went to hand in the spirit stones.

And Wang Ba also understood the opponent's routine.

Normal monks would not buy pills with strong erysipelas, and alchemists would generally treat them as waste pills and dispose of them.

And after Master Yuji's eloquent tongue and expanded anxiety, he successfully cut off this group of casual practitioners as leeks.

Shaking his head secretly, Wang Ba retreated quietly.

Not only him, but also some discerning people or people who have always been sensitive to Lingshi also quietly left the yard.

Most of these people saw the tricks, but no one dared to take the initiative to break them.

In front of Daoist Jindan, who would have such courage?

With the end of Yuji's lecture.

Suddenly, the city gradually became lively again.

Wang Ba also quickly returned to the original stall and set up a new one.

However, after experiencing this wave of harvest by Master Yuji, Wang Ba obviously felt that some monks had become cash-strapped.

Walking to Wang Ba's booth, even though some monks in the late stage of Foundation Establishment showed their enthusiasm, after asking the price, they could only leave sadly.

In the late stage of foundation establishment, monks couldn't even afford a pot of 40 yuan spirit chicken essence of middle-grade spirit stones, which showed their embarrassment.

The stall owners around also complained.

But no one dared to mention the real Yuji's name.

Wang Ba sat for a long time, but only sold a pot of spirit chicken essence, and was about to close the stall to find Zhao Feng.

As a result, at this time, another monk who looked quite young, saw the soul chicken essence sold by Wang Ba, paused slightly, and asked with a strange accent:

"Dare to ask, friend, what is the price of this spiritual chicken essence?"

"40 yuan for a pot of middle-grade spirit stones, no counter-offering."

Wang Ba said without thinking.

The main reason is that there are too many people who inquire, and there are many people who counter-offer, but there are very few people who buy. Wang Ba is too lazy to waste his words, and directly blocks the idea of ​​​​other people's counter-offering.

Sure enough, the young monk subconsciously showed a look of embarrassment when he heard the words.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the signboard next to Wang Ba, and his eyes lit up:
"Are you receiving spells here?"

Wang Yan didn't look down on the other party when he heard the words, and nodded: "But I don't accept all kinds of spells, the best are related to the soul, and the second is some powerful spells related to water..."

But the young monk quickly said: "I have a technique of 'satisfaction with victory', is this okay?"

"The technique of disgusting victory?"

Wang Ba was slightly taken aback when he heard the words.

The so-called technique of disgusting victory is a technique that can be used to block other people's curses on oneself, and conversely, it can also be used to curse others.

It is relatively rare in the practice world.

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you show me first?"

The young monk didn't hesitate, he rummaged through the storage bag for a while, and then took out a jade slip and a piece of gold paper.

"This is a rubbing, you can take a look."

Wang Ba immediately took it out and looked at it briefly, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

It turns out that this 'Skill of Sorrowing Victory' is really called "Curse of Blazing Souls with Hundred Lives".

There is no specific grade.

After sacrificing a hundred creatures of the same grade as the subject, the curse can be cast on the soul of the subject.

This curse does not necessarily kill the opponent, but it can entangle the opponent's soul, making it continue to fall into various negative states.

Conversely, if the subject is the caster himself, then this curse will instead attach a layer of protection to the caster's soul. Once someone tries to attack the caster's soul, they will be infected with the curse and fall into a continuous negative state. status.

In short, it is a technique that is disgusting to win at first sight.

After all, being able to deal with hundreds of creatures of the same rank as the subject, but not being able to kill them, is simply a loss to grandma's family.

But Wang Ba was different.

As long as Lin Zhenxiu, who occupies the body of A[-], insists on sowing, he will soon be able to reap a batch of second-level spirit chickens. In this way, he can gather a hundred creatures of the same level as him and add one level to his soul. layer of protection.

Of course, it will take Lin Zhenxiu's hard work.

In addition, the psychic ghost loach is not low in grade, and its reproduction speed can also meet Wang Ba's needs.

"But it seems that after going back, I have to pay more attention to this Lin Zhenxiu."

Wang Ba thought to himself.

"This fellow Taoist, is it okay to ask?"

At this moment, the young monk asked nervously.

He also knew that the practicality of this spell was very low. It was easy to say at the low level, but in the foundation building stage, this technique of aversion to victory was almost useless. After all, where would he find so many creatures in the foundation building stage.

But what surprised him was that Wang Ba nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes!"

After finishing speaking, he handed a pot of spiritual chicken essence to him.

The young monk was immediately overjoyed, but after seeing so many spirit chicken essences, he was still embarrassed and said: "This is really deserved, this technique is not worth so much, but it is the only one here that can be effective for the soul ..."

Wang Ba smiled, the sincerity of the other party made him feel happy, and he felt that it was really rare for a pot of spirit chicken essence to be exchanged for a technique that suits him so well.

So he still insisted: "It's okay, take it!"

Seeing that Wang Ba didn't stick to it, the young monk smiled gratefully at Wang Ba.

"Thank you buddy!"

Then he handed over the jade slip that recorded "The Curse of Blazing Souls of Hundred Lives" to Wang Ba.

"Why don't I tell fellow daoists the points to pay attention to in this technique?"

After hesitating for a while, the young monk still felt a little sorry, and hesitatingly spoke.

Wang Ba was a little surprised when he heard the words, but since the other party came up with this technique, it was obvious that he had studied it, so he smiled immediately:
"Of course this is the best, I'm in need of help, Fellow Daoist."

"where."

The young monk simply sat beside Wang Ba and began to explain briefly.

The business at Wang Ba's booth was so-so, and there was nothing wrong with him, so he listened carefully.

It was later discovered that although this young cultivator looked young, his skills in techniques were quite profound and methodical, and he was not like an ordinary casual cultivator.

After listening to it for a while, Wang Ba felt that he had gained a lot. Although he hadn't started to practice the "Curse of Blaming Souls with Hundred Lives", he already had a clue in his mind.

Then I also said some of my own thoughts.

Soon, the two gradually began to discuss with each other, from the technique of disgust, to ordinary spells, and then to powerful spells.

The more you talk, the more speculative you are.

Whether it is Wang Ba or the young monks, they all feel that their eyes have been opened.

And this young monk also inadvertently revealed his identity.

"Yang Daoyou, you are a monk of Wei Guozong sect? How could..."

Wang Ba's face was full of shock, but when he thought of the words of the real Yuji before, he suddenly understood.

Obviously, when Wei was destroyed, the Zongmen naturally ceased to exist. As a monk of the Zongmen, he could only exile in another country.

The young monk was full of bitterness:

"Hey, those monks of the Incense and Fire Dao in the Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom are really astonishing. Although I haven't been to the front line, I have heard that they almost easily destroyed a country in just three or four years!"

"The monks of my sect, except for the young monks who have good qualifications and were left behind as the seeds of revival of the sect, the whole sect participated in the defense against the kingdom of the gods, but..."

"Golden Dan, Nascent Soul... in front of them, it is impossible to escape!"

"Is there no way to stop them?"

Seeing the pain in the young monk's eyes, Wang Ba couldn't help frowning.

"No."

The young monk shook his head and said sadly: "The suzerain once said that the entire Fenglinzhou, the great Chu civil strife, and the great Qi are short of breath. It is really difficult to stop the pace of the kingdom of the gods."

"If there are, I'm afraid there are only two that are the most promising."

Wang Ba asked curiously, "Which two?"

"Northern Great Swallow, and... Western Great Jin!"
