Longevity, starting from raising chickens

"Something passing through the outer realm?"

Wang Haowei was a little surprised.

The Ape King Wu in front of him nodded:
"Buddhism... has a technique... of listening carefully. If you practice it... you will feel something, but your level... is low, and you don't know... what it is... whether it is good or bad."

Wang Ba frowned and pondered for a while, then asked:

"Is there anyone outside now?"

King Wu of the Monkey immediately closed his eyes and moved his ears slightly.

Then he opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said honestly:
"Now... it's gone."

Wang Ba's expression was still somewhat serious.

Anything that can withstand the wind, whether it is a person or an object, is extraordinary. He had never encountered anything other than those with double pupils before, so he had never considered these things, but the reminder from King Wu of the Ape made him alert all of a sudden.

"Have you ever felt anything in the wind before?"

Wang Ba asked again solemnly.

King Wu of the Monkey shook his head:

"I have never practiced before."

If you have never practiced, you naturally won’t be able to sense it.

Wang Ba thought for a moment and suddenly spoke:
"Can you teach me this art of listening?"

Ape King Wu was slightly startled, then nodded without hesitation:

"it is good."

After saying this, Buddha's light flowed in its eyes and projected in front of Wang Ba.

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, and then saw the Buddha's light quietly transformed into constantly moving golden words in front of him.

With just a glance, all these words fell into his mind.

"The art of listening..."

Wang Ba quickly digested this Buddhist magic in his mind.

It is called a magic technique, but it is no different from supernatural power. It can observe things outside the mind and destroy evil.

More importantly, this supernatural power does not require any attainments in Buddhism.

Even the difficulty of practicing is much easier than that of ordinary supernatural powers.

Wang Ba had only had the initial contact when two ears opened in his soul.

He closed his eyes slightly.

The next moment, he seemed to see invisible ripples spreading out in all directions with him as the center, even spreading out of the boundary, outside the protective shield, and into the white mist beyond...

Countless creatures within this range emitted different ripples, like a water wave interfering with the larger water waves, and induction was generated.

In such a sensation, even Ah Da, who was hidden and invisible and had always been lurking by his side, could not escape Wang Ba's sensation. Its fluctuations were clearly audible.

"The art of listening is truly extraordinary."

Wang Ba sighed.

Such an effect has been achieved just after practicing. Obviously, the art of listening is also an extremely precious method in Buddhism.

But at this moment, King Wu of the Ape suddenly closed his eyes and his ears moved slightly.

Soon, it suddenly opened its eyes:
"There's something out there again!"

"here we go again?"

Wang Ba's heart moved, and he quickly closed his eyes and activated the art of listening.

With him as the center, an invisible ripple suddenly appeared and spread out to the surroundings quickly like water waves.

Across the dojo, the boundary membrane, the protective shield condensed by the wind-driving staff, the white mist...

Wang Ba's heart was suddenly shocked!
At the end of the sensing area, there was indeed an unknown object emitting strange waves that quickly passed by.

Then he suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look somewhere.

As far as the eye can see, the membrane quickly becomes transparent.

The thick white fog outside the boundary immediately came into view.

The wind was howling, but he couldn't see anything in the thick white fog.

"Can you tell me what that is?"

Wang Ba turned and looked at King Wu Yuan.

King Wu of the Monkey shook his head slightly.

This answer is not surprising.

Wang Ba's mind raced, and he quickly left Xiaocang Realm.

King Wu of the Monkeys also followed.

However, Wang Ba did not immediately go into the depths of the white fog, but flew towards where Yu Wuhen was.

The distance between the two was not very far, and in almost a moment, the figures of Wang Ba and Wu Yuanwang suddenly stopped.

In the sight of the man and the ape, a woman with white hair and white skin in a red robe sitting cross-legged between the dark stone pestles looked at them indifferently, and her tone was not very friendly:
"What are you doing here?"

Obviously, King Wu Yuan and Wang Ba came together, but in her eyes, she only looked at Wang Ba differently.

Ape King Wu tilted his head and looked at her.

Wang Ba smiled and raised his hand to salute:
"I hope you are well, Senior Sister."

"Stop talking nonsense. You just left not long ago. What happened?"

Yu Wuhen didn't buy it and spoke in a cold tone.

Wang Ba's expression remained unchanged. More than a hundred lotus seeds flew out of his sleeves and slowly flew towards Yu Wuhen.

Yu Wuhen frowned slightly and glanced at the lotus seeds, but ultimately did not make a gesture of rejection. She let the lotus seeds fall in front of her and disappear silently in her palm.

"Tell me what's going on."

The tone was still unfriendly.

But Wang Ba didn't care. He had already vaguely figured out the temperament of this senior sister. His expression was still respectful, but with a slight smile and a hint of curiosity in his tone:
"I wonder if Senior Sister has sensed that something seems to be passing by outside..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the depths of the white fog in the distance.

Yu Wuhen glanced in the direction Wang Ba pointed, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if sensing something, and then a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Wang Ba:

"You are quite perceptive."

Wang Ba's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged. He seemed to be curious and asked:

"Sister, do you know what that is?"

"How come you don't know?"

Although Yu Wuhen's tone was not very good, he still said:

"When the wind blows, sometimes some things that are not blown away by the wind will be blown over. These things depend on luck. Sometimes you can encounter some useless magic tools, sometimes you can encounter some scraps of copper and iron, and of course you can also encounter some useful things..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help but feel excited.

He was worried that the Xiaocang community was living beyond their means, so if he could have some income, even if it was a little, it would still be some meat.

But he still asked the key question:
"Is there any living thing in this fog?"

"Except for those with double pupils, I have never encountered any others."

Yu Wuhen shook his head.

Wang Ba's heart moved slightly, and he asked a question that he had always wanted to ask but had not been able to ask:

"Senior Sister, have you ever fought against these people with double pupils?"

"Fight?"

Yu Wuhen frowned slightly.

She seemed to want to say something, but the Tao around her suddenly began to spread faster!
Although he was a little impatient at first, in his eyes that were still calm, a hint of silver and struggle now appeared.

"not good!"

Wang Ba was startled and quickly warned:

"Senior Sister, quickly take those lotus seeds!"

When the Monkey King Wu sensed the danger, he immediately stood in front of Wang Ba, with Buddha's light flowing around him!
Yu Wuhen, who had a vague feeling of being out of control, struggled to send all the hundreds of lotus seeds that Wang Ba had just given him into his soul.

The silver in my eyes quickly faded...

"Senior Sister, what happened to you? Why don't you tell me? Maybe..."

Wang Ba frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

"You're being too nosy."

Yu Wuhen's face became increasingly paler, even white, as cold as frost. He absorbed the Taoist spirit emanating from the surroundings, and his tone seemed particularly cold.

Wang Ba couldn't help but choke and shook his head secretly, knowing that the time was not yet ripe, so he gave up.

"Sister, if you need anything or need any advice, please tell me."

Without saying much, he bowed to the other party and left with King Wu of the Ape.

Watching the man and the ape leave, Yu Wuhen couldn't help but frown. Feeling the situation inside his body, his face looked a little ugly.

"Why did it come so frequently these two times..."

……

After returning to Xiaocang Realm, Wang Ba simply did not go back to the Taoist temple. Instead, he sat cross-legged at the edge of the protective shield, practicing the art of listening and sensing the slightest changes in the depths of the white fog.

Under his arrangement, the Ape King Wu sat cross-legged in another direction.

You don't have to fight for a moment to practice, but once an opportunity is missed, it's missed. Now that the Xiaocang Realm has swallowed up the Guantao Realm and the chaotic source material outside the Guantao Realm, its foundation has increased, but with the practice of the cultivators, this part of the foundation will not be able to last too long.

We are already working hard to increase revenue and reduce costs. What remains is to increase revenue as much as possible.

And being in the storm-stricken area, there was indeed not much he could do.

Just for a few months.

The man and the monkey sat cross-legged near the white fog outside, but gained nothing.

The "opportunities" that had previously flashed past the white fog never appeared again.

This made Wang Bawei a little disappointed.

Compared to Wang Ba, Wu Yuan Wang seemed much more indifferent. He just sat in meditation calmly every day, sensing the situation outside, without any hurry or rush.

This has always been its habit. It prefers to be quiet and not active, but once it takes action, it will go all out like a lion fighting a rabbit.

When Wang Ba saw this, he suddenly woke up.

He was worried and distracted, thinking about getting new resources, but ignored Yu Wuhen's words "it depends on luck". He then calmed his mind, thinking about how to perfect the fifth-order Dragon Elephant Taoist soldier while maintaining the art of listening.

Time passed quickly, and without any deliberate pursuit, his mentality became calm, and he made rapid progress in perfecting the fifth-order Dragon Elephant Taoist Soldier.

He had already seen many methods of Taoist soldiers in Xiaocang Realm, and was very familiar with the training and cultivation of various types of Taoist soldiers. Although there was no method of training fifth-level Taoist soldiers in Xiaocang Realm, with his background, knowledge and understanding of spirit beasts, he could gain two by knowing one. Although it was difficult, it was not impossible.

In particular, while he was thinking, he also took the time to read the tablet left by Baiyun Sanren from Guantao world, which recorded the inheritance of all the saints in Guantao world.

There are also some training concepts similar to those of Taoist soldiers, but the methods are different.

The mountains do not reject any soil, the seas and rivers do not discriminate any small streams. Wang Ba absorbs the strengths of all, discards the dross and retains the essence, and becomes more and more advanced in the way of Taoist military sacrifice and training.

As time goes by, the method of refining the fifth-level Chaos Dragon Elephant Taoist soldiers is becoming more and more perfect.

Until this day, he suddenly felt an uproar in his heart, raised his hand and waved, and one after another golden-patterned black dragons entwined on the giant elephant came out.

This black dragon and the giant elephant are almost indistinguishable from each other. They are intertwined like turtles and snakes, forming a circle and galloping.

In an instant, it turned into a bracelet with gold and black interwoven together from beginning to end.

There are many dragon and elephant figures engraved on it.

It’s as big as half of Xiaocangjie!

While spinning at high speed, it broke through the protective shield, and opened up a large blank area in the white fog.

Then it flew back with a roar and landed on Wang Ba's left wrist.

It's like a magic weapon.

After a slight rotation, a giant black elephant with golden patterns all over its body appeared out of thin air behind Wang Ba. A black dragon with golden patterns was also wrapped around its body. Dark purple flames rose from its four feet, and it raised its head and roared silently...

Wang Ba stroked the gold and black bracelet in his hand and nodded slightly.

The power contained in this jade bracelet is roughly equivalent to the late stage of refining emptiness. However, due to the insufficient quantity, the strength and the Dragon Elephant Dao domain displayed are relatively weak.

As long as there are enough fifth-order giant Moro elephants to fill in, the Dragon Elephant Taoist Soldier can be pushed to the perfect state of refining the void, and both its strength and Taoist domain will be extremely solid.

By then, with the support of the Dragon-Elephant Taoist Soldiers, he can be comparable to a fourth-level Taoist being.

"It's just that the consumption of this Moro giant elephant is really too great."

Wang Ba thought of the giant Moro elephants in the Pearl Secret Realm on Wanfa Peak. Even though he had raised countless spiritual beasts, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw how much these giant elephants ate.

Even the monks in the Kokura realm have to tighten their belts and live frugally.

The food of these Moro elephants has not been reduced at all, and every meal is fed with the meat of fourth-level spirit beasts.

But there is no other way. In order to obtain high-end power, this is the only way.

"But we have to change direction. The cost-effectiveness of these Moro giant elephants is too low. It is very difficult to break through to a higher level."

Wang Ba couldn't help but have this thought reappear in his mind.

If there is enough Chaos Essence, it wouldn't be a problem to cultivate the Moro Giant Elephant, but it's a pity that it's a bit difficult now.

After putting away the Dragon-Elephant Taoist Soldiers, Wang Ba silently flipped through the Local Records of Guantao Realm, recalling all the spiritual beasts he had encountered in his life, trying to find a suitable direction for training.

On the other hand, he continued to practice the art of listening.

Good luck always comes unexpectedly.

Just less than a month after the successful deduction of the fifth-level Dragon Elephant Taoist Soldiers' ritual and refining method.

Wang Ba and King Wu Yuan finally sensed the fluctuations coming from the depths of the white fog.

"There's movement!"

Almost at the same time when King Wu of the Ape noticed the movement, Wang Ba suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes as bright as lightning, and looked into the depths of the white fog.

"The distance...is not far, you can give it a try."

Wang Ba's eyes lit up slightly.

The Ape King Wu said:

"Let me try first."

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment. Now that he had the perfected Dragon-Elephant Taoist Soldiers, his strength had barely reached the level of the fourth-order Taoist realm. If he didn't go too deep, and with the Wind-Repelling Staff in his hand, he thought there wouldn't be too much danger.

But Ape King Wu had already stepped into the white mist.

Wang Ba stared at the back of King Wu Yuan, and the not-so-tall figure was soon submerged in the white mist.

When faced with danger, it is always the first to rush forward.

As time passed, Wang Ba's brows began to frown.

At this moment, the ear in the soul moved slightly.

Wang Ba's eyes shifted slightly and looked towards the white mist beside him.

A huge figure slowly emerged.

In just a blink of an eye, he saw a crystal as big as a small hill slowly emerging from the white mist.

And at the bottom of this "hill" was the Monkey King Wu, who was holding his arms tightly with his hands outstretched and his monk robe slightly tattered.

Perhaps the crystal was too large, and the surrounding wind and waves also suppressed the speed of the Ape King Wu.

Wang Ba's mind moved, and the wind-driving staff lit up slightly. The direction of the wind around King Wu Ape quietly changed, and it quickly pushed King Wu Ape and the crystal hill he was holding into the protective shield.

Wang Ba appeared beside King Wu Ape at the first moment. After checking that he was fine, he looked at the crystal hill in front of him.

The crystal is so clear that you can see it from beginning to end at a glance. It is as transparent as water.

But since it could remain intact without being blown into powder in such a strong wind outside, it certainly couldn't be real crystal.

Wang Ba looked around the crystal for a while, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

He didn't know much about weapon refining and spiritual minerals, but he knew a little about the spiritual materials related to spiritual beasts. However, he had no impression of the crystal in front of him.

Even if they look similar, their properties are completely different.

At least he didn't know what kind of spiritual ore or spiritual material there was in the Xiaocang Realm that could withstand the wind outside.

After thinking about it, he simply sent it to the dojo. The Hundred Arts Academy was still in the preparation stage, so he could only let the Equipment Refining Department and the Spirit Mineral Department of the Geomantic Hall to study it together.

It was not known if it was because of their improved luck, but after seeing this crystal, not long after, Wang Ba and King Wu Yuan sensed fluctuations nearby again.

This time it was still the Ape King Wu who rushed into the wind.

Not long after, King Wu of the Ape appeared carrying a stone disc that looked like a sundial.

This time it was much easier and Ape King Wu flew in easily.

Wang Ba came closer to take a look.

The edge of the disc has been worn a lot and is full of ancient charm.

However, you can still clearly see the mysterious raised patterns on it, which include flying birds, ferocious beasts, and all kinds of strange shapes.

There is a round hole in the middle, which seems to be used to hold something, but it has been lost.

And that thing may very well be the key.

“I have no idea how to use it.”

Wang Ba frowned slightly and looked through it carefully, but didn't gain much.

This thing is undoubtedly the scrap copper and iron that Yu Wuhen mentioned.

After looking at it carefully for a while, Wang Ba faintly felt a very restrained sense of Taoism and the flavor of formation.

After a slight change of mind, he found a place for the stone plate.

"Send it to the Formation Department, maybe they can figure out something."

After that, I waited calmly.

His idea was simple: anything that could survive the wind would definitely not be an ordinary item.

Yu Wuhen was alone, and many things were of no use to her.

But this is not the case in the Ogura world. There are so many talented people who are proficient in all kinds of skills and they can always find a use for them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be an innate Taoist treasure or some magical herb or medicine to be considered a treasure.

A piece of ore may be able to be refined into a treasure with miraculous uses.

A man and a monkey just sat cross-legged by the white mist, fishing alone in the long river of white mist.

After a few years or months, Wang Ba and Wu Yuan Wang would sense some fluctuations, and then Wu Yuan Wang would take the initiative to break into the white fog, and retrieve pieces of "scrap metal" one by one amidst the rolling wind and waves.

Wang Ba recognized almost none of these things, so he could only send them to the Taoist temple for study by the teachers in the newly established Baiyi Academy.

The only thing that Wang Ba felt was a small bronze basin.

After Wang Ba's inspection, he confirmed that this small bronze basin was an innate Taoist treasure containing seven innate cloud bans.

When this small bronze basin was brought back by King Wu Ape, there were still a few round, transparent beads the size of fingers left in it.

Wang Ba was just curious at first, but after careful study, he was surprised and delighted:
"These are...sea pearls?"

The sea pearl is not unique to the Xiaocang Realm, because the essence of the sea pearl is actually what Cang Fuzi said about the origin of the realm.

Often when the heaven and earth undergo great changes, the origin of the realm is leaked out and manifests itself as "sea pearls".

This is why when one sea pearl is used, one less is left.

Because the leaked origin is limited.

Of course, higher quality sea pearls will gradually absorb the Taoism that permeates the surroundings over time and gradually restore their original essence, so that they can be reused.

But the recovery time in between is extremely long.

For example, the Wanxiang Sect has a collection of two exhausted fifth-level sea pearls. They have been cultivated for thousands of years, but are still not ready for use.

For example, the sixth-level sea pearl that Wang Xu had owned before, had gone through three owners: Wang Xu, Han Yanzi and Wang Ba/Yuan Ci Dao Ren. Now, it contains little essence, so it has hardly been used since Wang Ba.

"Could this basin be able to condense sea pearls?!"

Thinking of this possibility, even Wang Ba could no longer remain calm. He immediately handed the place over to King Wu Yuan and went to the Taoist temple to study the small bronze basin with Cang Fuzi.

And the Monkey King Wu did not change because of Wang Ba's departure.

He sat cross-legged alone at the junction of the protective shield and the white mist, letting the strong wind outside polish his body.

The monk’s robe flutters and the Buddha’s light is faint.

In this white fog and wind, it is like an oil lamp, the light is as small as a bean, swaying, but never extinguished... (End of this chapter)
