Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"Xuanlong Dao Weapon..."

Wang Ba stood beside the Spirit Turtle Pond, looking at the spiritual ghost loaches with dragon-like heads sticking out below, and fell into deep thought.

The Xuanlong Dao Soldier is a third-order Dao Soldier, which helped him a lot in the Jindan stage, but now it can no longer adapt to his rhythm.

It was given to Wang Qingyang before, but not long after, Wang Qingyang successfully entered the Nascent Soul stage. With the foundation of the Wanfa Vein, after entering the Nascent Soul stage, the help of the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers became dispensable, so it was returned.

He once wanted to upgrade the Xuanlong Taoist Soldiers, but different Taoist soldier training methods correspond to different spirit beasts. Even though the Xuanlong Taoist Soldiers have a relatively wide range of choices for spirit beasts, if he wants to obtain higher-level Xuanlong Taoist Soldiers, he needs to change not only the spirit beasts, but also the corresponding training methods.

With his current attainments in the art of taming beasts and his status, it would not be too difficult for him to obtain a large number of fourth-order dragon spirit beasts. However, he still could not do it, and this was the reason.

And there is another reason. The bloodlines of these spiritual beasts that were refined by the Xuanlong Daobing method were also restricted and could never undergo transformation.

The third-grade ultimate is the limit of the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers.

However, although the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers were no longer useful, he still kept them well.

Just when I was thinking about how to disperse the true spirit will of the Moro Giant Elephant King, I suddenly thought of them.

"Use the Black Dragon Dao Soldiers to disperse the true spirit will of the Moruo Giant Elephant King... The Black Dragon Dao Soldiers have already reached the limit of their potential, so there shouldn't be any danger even if they are contained."

Wang Ba pondered for a while, and thought about it seriously several times.

Although there was no precedent for this method, after careful consideration, he still thought it was worth a try.

Then, according to the method taught by Xuan Yuanzi before, the sealed true spirit of the Moro Giant Elephant King was injected into the bodies of the psychic ghost loaches below.

The scattered true spirit will is no different from death, and it will no longer have any sensitivity to the outside world.

But after all, it has been wandering in the sea of ​​​​boundaries for countless years. It is naturally in harmony with the Tao, and it is also the one and only innate divine and demonic will in the entire sea of ​​​​boundaries.

After the psychic ghost loaches were infused with these innate gods and demons' wills, perhaps because they were infected and eroded by the innate gods and demons' wills, they quickly began to experience all kinds of abnormal changes that Wang Ba had expected but not fully anticipated.

On the dark and smooth surface of the body, fine golden patterns that were very similar to those on the Giant Elephant King began to emerge.

The body also began to swell and grow rapidly.

Not only that, the dragon heads of some psychic ghost loaches also began to show characteristics of the Moro elephant. Two slender, hooked teeth that resembled ivory began to emerge from their snouts.

What made Wang Ba feel even more frightened was that some of the psychic ghost loaches that had mutated faster actually began to actively attack the same species around them!

In a blink of an eye, several psychic ghost loaches were dismembered, and then quickly eaten up by the surrounding fellow loaches that were obviously in an abnormal condition!
"The grade of the Xuanlong Dao soldiers is changing..."

Wang Ba was slightly startled when he saw this scene. His mind quickly recalled the previous situation where Xiang Sijiu devoured his own kind. His thoughts raced:

"I think so."

"Although the true spirit of the Moro Giant Elephant King has been dispersed, it will still instinctively gather together, so it will control these low-blooded psychic ghost loaches to devour each other so as to awaken itself as soon as possible. This is the same reason why Xiang Sijiu devoured his own kind before."

"To prevent this situation, we must either extract the true spirits' wills again, or introduce new checks and balances..."

"Re-draw..."

Wang Ba frowned slightly. If he extracted it again, then everything he had done before would be meaningless.

His idea of ​​utilizing the fighting power of the Moro Giant Elephant King was dashed.

And he naturally was unwilling to do so.

Then there is only one way left.

"Introducing new checks and balances..."

Wang Ba stared at the psychic ghost loaches that looked somewhat similar to black dragons. Suddenly, his heart moved and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes:
"Why did you forget it?"

Thinking of this, he first separated these psychic ghost loaches one by one.

After pondering for a while and making some preparations, he took out a special spirit beast bag that had not been used for a long time.

In an instant, a stream of light shot out from the spirit beast's bag and flew into the sky.

Then he revealed his figure.

Its body was pitch black, its eyes were bloodshot, and it was swimming across the sky in the secret realm, almost covering half of the sky.

Except for the fact that it has no horns on its head, it is no different from a real dragon. It is none other than the fifth-rank acquired divine beast, the Ghost-Eyed Chilong.

This Chilong is the natal spirit beast of Qi Yan, the teacher of the Lord of the Beast Peak and Du Wei, the former elder of the Taihe Palace.

In addition to this dragon, there is also a five-colored divine deer in the spirit beast bag, which is also Du Wei's spirit beast.

Before Du Wei sacrificed himself to repair the sky, he left these two spirit beasts to Wang Ba. Due to the restrictions of heaven and earth, and because he was busy with spiritual practice and various chores, he never took them out.

Now, when Wang Ba saw the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers who were eroded by the will of the Moro Giant Elephant King, he suddenly remembered something.

He bowed slightly towards Chilong:
"Wang Ba meets Senior Chilong."

This attitude was not towards Chilong, but was actually out of respect for Chilong's master, Elder Du Wei.

The ghost-eyed Chilong swam slowly, but frowned slightly and looked at Wang Ba.

The voice was like thunder, deep and obscure, and seemed somewhat dissatisfied:

"Master left us with you, but you just threw us into the spirit beast bag. What's the matter now?"

Wang Ba looked ashamed:

"What the senior taught me is that this time I want to invite the senior to come out and enjoy the food."

The Ghost Eye Chilong was a little surprised when he heard the word "food", but when he heard the word "food", the dissatisfaction in his eyes was slightly reduced. Perhaps it was because Du Wei had cultivated it well, so he shook his head politely and said:
"Food is enough..."

Wang Ba, however, smiled and threw out a spiritual chicken that was half the size of a mountain and had been processed and was intended to be used to make spiritual food.

Seeing this spiritual chicken with all its feathers plucked out, Ghost Eye Chilong blinked and immediately changed his words:
"…You are so thoughtful."

It grabbed the body of the spiritual chicken in one bite, and swallowed it whole in a few gulps, as if it was afraid that Wang Ba would regret it.

Feeling the remaining spiritual energy between its lips and teeth, it stretched out its bright red tongue with an unsatisfied look, and rolled back a bit of bone residue at the corner of its lips. It glanced at Wang Ba below its eyes, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"A fourth-grade top-grade spiritual chicken... you are thoughtful."

It's more than just intentional, it's so sincere.

I have rarely tasted this kind of food even when the owner was around!
The spiritual beasts in the sect all have their uses. Even though Du Wei is an elder, he cannot arbitrarily transfer a fourth-level top-grade spiritual beast to be used as food.

But this young man took it out so extravagantly.

"It seems that he must have his own difficulties and must have no choice..."

The Ghost-Eyed Chilong couldn’t help but think in his mind.

Then he couldn't help but recall what he had just said to this young man, and wondered if his tone was a little too harsh.

"I really shouldn't have done that. Ugh...but I ate too fast just now. If I could eat it again..."

"Isn't that enough, Senior? I still have some."

Almost at the same time when this thought came to the Ghost-Eyed Chilong's mind, Wang Ba's voice came from afar.

"Ah? This, this is not good, right?"

The Ghost-Eyed Chilong couldn't help but become more excited upon hearing this, but as a divine beast and because of the reserve that Du Wei had nurtured for many years, it couldn't help but look hesitant.

But this young man was so enthusiastic and generous that he stuffed another prepared spiritual chicken in front of it.

"Senior, you have been trapped in the spirit beast bag for so long. Although there are reasons for it, it is still my fault. There is nothing wrong with it. Please enjoy it. If it is not enough..."

"Enough is enough!"

Chilong said hurriedly.

The dragon head stretched out quickly and swallowed the entire spiritual chicken in one gulp.

Because he couldn't eat another bite, even his lower jaw was bulging high.

It stretched its neck several times before it managed to swallow the spiritual chicken.

However, it only realized at this time that its ugly eating posture was really unworthy of its identity, and it looked at Wang Ba guiltily.

However, it unexpectedly discovered that Wang Ba was not looking at it at all, but was staring at a pool below.

"Boy, what are you thinking about?"

"Ok?"

Wang Ba was awakened immediately and quickly turned his head, a smile quickly appeared on his slightly solemn face:
"Nothing... Have you finished eating, Senior? Do you need some more?"

The Ghost-Eyed Chilong had very sharp eyesight. Even though Wang Ba's expression changed quickly, it still instantly noticed a hint of sadness in the other's eyes.

His eyes turned and he said in a deep voice:
"What kind of trouble have you run into, kid?"

Wang Ba's expression froze for a moment, then immediately returned to normal, and he said with a smile:
"What kind of trouble could I possibly run into? You must be joking, senior. I still have some spirit chickens here. Do you need any more?"

Hearing the word "spiritual chicken", the Ghost-Eyed Chilong suddenly became restless.

However, after eating two spiritual chickens, it was no longer as hungry as before. Holding back the restlessness in its heart, it shook its head slightly and looked down at Wang Ba. Its eyes were full of insightful wisdom, as if it had already seen through Wang Ba's thoughts:
"Are you still going to hide it from me?"

"Tell me, what's the matter? If you don't tell me, I, I..."

It thought for a long time and finally came up with a threat:
"I will never eat your magical chicken again!"

"This……"

As Chilong expected, Wang Ba's face froze, and then he hesitated for a while, and finally showed a helpless look:
"Senior, you really have a keen eye. I couldn't hide it from you."

Chilong showed a proud look in his eyes, but he still imitated his master Du Wei's usual speaking style, coughed reservedly, and said in a low voice:
"Since you can't hide it, just tell it out."

Wang Ba did not dare to disobey, and said quickly:

"In the pool below are the dragon spirit beasts I raised. They are used as Dao soldiers, but because they were sacrificed by the Dao soldiers, they have been unable to break through. Previously, I accidentally obtained the true spirit will of an innate god or demon and injected it into these Dao soldiers. As a result, these Dao soldiers are now being backfired by this true spirit will. If they want to resist, they need a new force to join."

Chilong was confused by what he heard. He didn't quite understand what Taoist soldiers, innate gods and demons, and true spirit will were, but he grasped the key points at once:
"New power?"

"What kind do you need?"

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly:

"I've thought about it and I think it would be best if this new power could strengthen the foundation of the Black Dragon Dao Soldiers. These Black Dragon Dao Soldiers are dragons. If we introduce the essence and blood of higher-level dragon spirit beasts, it might be of some use. But... where can we find such dragon spirit beasts now?"

"A dragon-type spiritual beast?"

The Chilong was stunned for a moment, thinking hard, but soon his eyes lit up. However, when he saw Wang Ba's sad face, he couldn't help but keep it a secret. He shook his tail slightly, imitating his master and said leisurely:
"It's not difficult. I know where it is."

Wang Ba seemed extremely surprised, and then he bowed quickly:
"Senior, please give me some advice."

"Hahahaha!"

Chilong, who had never been treated so respectfully, couldn't help but laugh triumphantly. He turned his dragon tail back and pointed it at himself:
"Although you are rich, you are too stupid. Isn't this far away in the sky, but right in front of you?"

Wang Ba was startled when he saw this, as if he suddenly understood, but he hesitated and said:

"But this blood essence..."

"It's just blood and essence."

The Chilong swung its tail straight, interrupting Wang Ba's words without paying any attention. Wang Ba couldn't help but show his excitement, but he quickly shook his head:

“No, no, senior, although you are a fifth-rank divine beast, your blood essence is also extremely important, no less important than your soul. How can you use it so easily?”

Upon hearing this, Chilong proudly raised his dragon head:

"I told you, just take it and don't say anything more!"

Wang Ba seemed somewhat indecisive:
"But I'm afraid a lot of blood and essence will be needed..."

Chilong said impatiently:

"How much more can you possibly need? Even if a few fourth-tier spirit beasts were to take a single drop of my blood, they might not be able to absorb it!"

Wang Ba seemed a little conflicted, but under Chilong's repeated urging, he still opened one hand.

"Five drops?"

Chilong couldn't help but frown slightly.

Two spirit chickens in exchange for five drops of blood essence...this is a bit of a loss.

It’s not that he can’t bear it, it’s just five drops of essence and blood. But just eating these two fourth-grade top-grade spirit chickens may not be enough to make up for it.

"No, fifty drops."

Wang Ba shook his head to reject Chi Long's guess, then sighed helplessly:
"I need too much, so I don't want to tell you. After all, I can't hurt you..."

When Chilong heard this number, his heart suddenly skipped a beat!
He opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, thinking back to the boast he had just made, the words turned into something so bold that even he felt a little unfamiliar:
"Only fifty drops..."

However, as soon as the words came out, it was filled with regret.

Wang Ba seemed to be overjoyed and praised excitedly:

"Senior is indeed the dragon that Elder Du Wei trusts the most. For the sake of the sect, he is willing to sacrifice himself like this! This is such a big deal, I have never seen such a big deal in my life!"

Chilong's expression was a little stiff, and he wanted to retort, but he didn't know if it was influenced by his master. Wang Ba's words made him feel elated, but he really couldn't say no.

However, to its surprise, Wang Ba hurried forward at this time, took out a storage magic tool that had not yet recognized its owner, and put it into its claws.

He sighed:
"Senior, you have done your best for the sect, how can the sect treat you badly? This is a small gift from the sect and me, please accept it."

"You don't have to be so polite..."

Chilong held the storage device hesitantly, but after his spiritual sense swept through it, he immediately changed his words honestly:
"Then I'll accept it."

I was very excited.

many!

So many magical chickens!
They were all level 4! There were at least sixty or seventy of them!

If you eat these spiritual chickens and digest and absorb them, not only can your essence and blood be replenished, but you can also gain a lot of benefits!

This deal is a bargain!
It even wanted to ask if it needed more deer blood. It didn't want much, just a little bit would be enough.

Fortunately, it still remembered what happened to Wang Ba, so it did not hesitate and endured the pain and forced out drops of blood.

As the essence and blood flew out, the dragon scales, which were originally dark and shiny, quickly dimmed in color, and the aura was filled with a sense of weakness.

The flexible posture also feels stiff and sluggish.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior!"

Wang Ba spoke from the bottom of his heart.

In his heart, he secretly felt some apology towards Chilong.

Although he gave compensation, which should be enough to make up for Chilong's loss, the loss of so much essence and blood in a short period of time is an extremely dangerous thing for any spiritual beast or divine beast - this is why he deliberately lowered his posture so much.

"But at least I got the blood."

Wang Ba looked at the drops of Chilong blood in front of him, waved his sleeves to collect them, and then quickly flew to the Linggui Pond below.

Looking at these psychic ghost loaches that were being separated one by one, their bodies were becoming more and more alienated, and their auras were rapidly approaching the fourth level.

Wang Ba's expression was solemn but with a hint of joy:
"The true spirit will of the innate gods and demons is indeed extraordinary. I have tried many ways before but failed to change the grade of the Xuanlong Dao soldiers. As a result, as soon as the true spirit will entered, there was such a change... Since it has broken the limit..."

Thinking of this, he pointed at one point.

In the pool below, lines of sacrificial formations quickly appeared.

Surround all these psychic ghost loaches.

Then he directly dripped the Chilong's blood essence onto them one by one.

These psychic ghost loaches had used the essence and blood of Qi Yan's ghost-eyed Chi, and that ghost-eyed Chi was also a descendant of Du Wei, with the same blood. When the Chi dragon's essence and blood fell, it immediately aroused the instinctive reaction of these psychic ghost loaches.

One by one, they quickly rushed up to receive the cleansing of the blood essence of the fifth-level divine beast.

Even though some characteristics of the Moro Elephant King have appeared on his body, it cannot stop the instinctive attraction from the dragon blood.

"it is as expected!"

Looking at this scene, a touch of joy flashed through Wang Ba's heart.

The only thing that can resist the will of the innate gods and demons is the power of the spirit beast's own bloodline.

Ordinary fourth-level spirit beasts are simply unable to resist, and only by directly replenishing the essence and blood of fifth-level spirit beasts can they resist the will of the true spirit.

And the facts were obviously just as Wang Ba had expected.

Not long after, these psychic ghost loaches below actually became quiet.

The body still retains some of the characteristics of the Morro Giant Elephant King:

Golden patterns, fangs, and a large and powerful body.

But at the same time, the characteristics of being a dragon spirit beast are more obvious:

The fine and hard dragon scales completely replaced the slippery and mucus-covered epidermis. The snout was completely protruding like a crocodile's mouth, and dragon whiskers grew on both sides.

Two claws also grew on both sides of its body, making it look more and more like a dragon.

However, although they were no longer fighting each other, they were all swimming around restlessly in the same place, seemingly a little anxious.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba pondered for a moment, took out dozens of spirit beasts' inner cores, and crushed them all together.

A huge amount of spiritual power poured into these psychic ghost loaches in the spirit turtle pond.

The next moment, these psychic ghost loaches flew out of the water and began to frantically absorb the pervasive spiritual energy.

Soon, Wang Ba realized something and looked outside the secret realm.

Unexpected, yet reasonable:
"These Xuanlong Dao soldiers are finally going to be promoted..."

"But, can the original Daoist soldier sacrifice and training method still control these advanced Xuanlong Daoist soldiers?"

Wang Ba wasn't quite sure either.

To put it simply, the method of training Taoist soldiers is to integrate these spirit beasts in different ways according to their characteristics, control them together and give full play to the advantage of numbers.

Thereby one can display the strength of a higher realm with that of a lower realm.

"The Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers are not specific about the species of spiritual beasts, they are limited to dragons. So, the Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers use the commonality of dragon bloodlines, dragon bloodlines... oh, Dragon Blood Peak!"

Wang Ba finally figured out how to solve the problem of integrating the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers after their advancement.

But now is not the time to think about this. He waved his sleeves and brought these psychic ghost loaches to Wanfa Peak.

Then thunder disasters fell one after another.

The process of overcoming the tribulation was unremarkable.

These Xuanlong Taoist soldiers, who possess both the fifth-level Ghost Eye Chi bloodline and the true spirit will of the Moro Giant Elephant King, are incredibly strong.

Although there were not no losses, the vast majority of the psychic ghost loaches survived.

Just as Wang Ba had expected, the control method of the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers had obviously greatly reduced the control over these advanced spiritual ghost loaches. After thinking about it, Wang Ba didn't get in a hurry and immediately collected them all.

He already knew the solution; it was just a matter of spending some time.

The matter of the true spirit will of the Xuanlong Taoist soldiers and the Moro Giant Elephant King has temporarily come to light.

Wang Ba did not stop and then called out Xiang Sijiu from the spirit beast bag.

The true spirit and will of the Moro Giant Elephant King was extracted, and Xiang Sijiu regained control of his body. Except that his aura no longer rose rapidly, he was no different from the Giant Elephant King.

However, Wang Ba painstakingly cultivated Xiang Sijiu, and he certainly had his own plans.

Subject 49 studied it carefully.

However, Xiang Sijiu is now considered a fifth-rank divine beast, with his own spirit and his essence, blood and vital energy gathered in his body. Even with Wang Ba's spiritual level, it is difficult to fully understand the internal structure of Xiang Sijiu's body.

Fortunately, after putting in a lot of effort, he finally got a clue about the area he was most concerned about.

The good news is that Xiang Sijiu does have reproductive organs in his body.

The bad news is that of the Moro giant elephant clan, there is only one elephant, Sijiu, and three infertile giant elephants that will find it difficult to successfully survive the tribulation.

Another good news is that the reproductive organs of Xiang Sijiu... are very similar to those of the Ghostly Stone Lizard.

"So, Xiang Sijiu is actually a hermaphrodite. Does that mean it can also conceive and reproduce on its own?"

Wang Ba felt a little surprised and happy.

If Xiang Sijiu can reproduce alone, then the Moro giant elephant Taoist soldiers will have a place to go.

Once the Giant Elephant Taoist Soldiers and the new Black Dragon Taoist Soldiers are formed, with two major Taoist armies at our disposal, we will have more confidence in dealing with catastrophes in the future.

While thinking about these things, Wang Ba soon received a summons from Qu Shentong.

"The True Warriors broke through the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty. The remnant of the previous dynasty, the Eighth Prince Chi Jian, who had been imprisoned by Yang Que for a long time, took the opportunity to escape. Later, because of his relationship with Elder Xumi, he asked our sect for help."

Chunyang Palace.

Qu Shentong held the letter in his hand, frowning slightly:

"I didn't expect these true warriors to grow so fast... Do you think we should save this crazy sword or not?"

Facing Qu Shentong's question, Wang Ba pondered for a while, then shook his head and said:
"The True Warriors and the Ten Thousand Gods Kingdom are gradually engaging in war, and our sect should not get involved."

Qu Shentong asked curiously:

"The deputy sect leader means not to rescue them?"

"Do not."

Wang Ba shook his head slightly, and the past discussions between him and Chi Jian on Beihaizhou seemed to flash before his eyes. He said in a deep voice:

"This time, I'll go there myself." (End of this chapter)
