Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 164

"This is the Nixia Ghost Market."

Liu Yaodong stood in front of a city wall and said to Wang Ba.

Looking at the densely packed stalls under the city wall, Wang Ba felt quite speechless after being greatly shocked.

Different from the secret location he imagined, Nixia Ghost Market was open and open at the junction of Song and Yan countries.

On both sides of the city wall at the junction, it was like a country market, with many monks setting up stalls or purchasing resources.

Shouting and shouting came and went.

It is simply more pyrotechnic than an ordinary market.

This made Wang Ba, who was accustomed to the ghost market style that he wanted to hide underground, feel inexplicably insecure.

"Aren't you afraid of being targeted by the big sects here?"

Wang Ba couldn't help asking.

Liu Yaodong was not surprised and said: "This place is located at the junction of the two countries. The location is relatively sensitive. The major sects of the two countries are afraid of unnecessary friction. Therefore, this place has become one of the few places in the two countries that can be displayed openly. A ghost market on the table."

"Because this is the place where resources between the two countries are most closely exchanged, many good things that are rarely seen in daily life can be traded."

"So there are many Independent Cultivators who have traveled thousands of miles to come here, and even some monks from the sect will come here quietly to trade."

"Of course, in order to ensure the interests of the sect, the Nixia Ghost Market can only be opened once a year, for three days at a time. If you miss these three days, you will have to wait a year."

Wang Ba nodded slightly when he heard the words. Although he was still a little confused, it generally made sense.

From time to time, there are monks wearing standard robes looking around, and if they find someone disrupting the ghost market, they will not hesitate to take action.

Soon, Wang Ba's eyes were attracted by each stall.

Many of the monks setting up stalls had obscure auras, and even he could not tell the specific level of cultivation.

Wang Ba couldn't help asking about Liu Yaodong.

Liu Yaodong, a local snake, did know a lot and explained immediately.

It turns out that the monks who set up stalls here need to pay a stall fee and deposit at the ghost market management office. After paying, they can borrow a hidden Law Weapon from them. Under the Gold Core, no one can normally use it. You can see his identity and cultivation level.

Wang Ba immediately went to the ghost market management office and wanted to apply for a stall.

It doesn't matter whether you sell or not, the main thing is the sense of security that the hidden Law Weapon brings.

However, what disappointed him was that since today was the first day of the market, all the stalls had been rented out, and all the hidden Law Weapons bound to the stalls had also been vacated.

Liu Yaodong, on the other hand, surprised Wang Ba. Perhaps because of the local snake, he was quite well-connected among some Qi Refining monks, and he actually got two sets of inferior hidden Law Weapons.

Although it can't stop the prying eyes of the Foundation Building monks, it can hide from the Qi Refining monks.

Wang Ba did not refuse Liu Yaodong's kindness, and conveniently wore it on his body, which was better than nothing.

But I have to say that this Nixia Ghost Market really opened Wang Ba’s eyes.

They sell everything. In addition to mainstream monk three-piece sets such as Law Weapons, elixirs, and talismans, there are also various slaves, Taoist soldiers, puppets, spirit beasts, spells, Spirit Medicine, spiritual materials, spiritual materials, and spiritual materials. food, special resources, etc.

There is even a monk who sells secret information about other ghost markets.

But this is not an exaggeration. The most exaggerated thing is that a middle-aged monk who is said to be the leader of a sect is planning to package and sell all the members of his sect, as well as the disciples stationed in the sect.

Just to get a Rank Three elixir that can condense Gold Core - Xuanyuan Huanzhen elixir.

"For a monk, breaking through the realm of enlightenment and becoming immortal are the greatest long-cherished wish. If the sect cannot keep up, it will be a drag. Although Si Hongfei's move is a bit cruel, it still maintains the true intention of a monk. "

A monk from the Foundation Building who was watching commented.

Immediately attracted some people's agreement.

Wang Ba couldn't help but shook his head secretly when he heard this.

He really couldn't agree with this statement.

But everyone has their own ambitions, and he won't argue.

Anyway, in a different place, if he were the head of a sect, even if he felt that the sect was a hindrance, at most he would abdicate in favor of others and pursue the road alone.

I will never use my disciples as a means of advancement.

But what surprised Wang Ba was that someone actually made a bid to buy Si Hongfei's sect.

It's just that they don't need a sect to be stationed there, only the disciples within it.

Si Hongfei was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately started negotiating with the mysterious monk who bought his sect.

Wang Ba's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched this scene.

Not surprisingly, this mysterious monk is probably a member of the devil's path.

And the ending of this sect’s disciples can also be imagined.

But he had no intention of blocking the rescue.

It is important for a person to be self-aware, but he knows that he is not capable of this.

If you want to take care of this kind of thing, you really don’t have the ability to take care of it.

Watched the excitement.

Wang Ba didn’t waste any time and scanned the stalls one by one.

Although these stalls are not specifically divided into levels, you can vaguely see the level of cultivation of the stall owners just by looking at the items they sell.

Wang Ba soon stopped at a stall selling Law Weapon.

Others were picking around Law Weapon and asking the stall owner for prices.

Wang Ba's consciousness swept over the Rank One and Rank Two Law Weapons, and he could faintly detect the bloody aura on them.

Obviously the origin is not clean.

But this is normal among Independent Cultivators.

"May I ask what the price of this Law Weapon is?"

Wang Ba asked, pointing to a robe on the stall.

The stall owner was a female cultivator of indeterminate age. She was negotiating with a Qi Refining monk with a cold face. Hearing this, she glanced at Wang Ba and noticed the Foundation Building aura on Wang Ba. Put on a smile:

"Fellow Daoist has good eyesight. The defense power of this robe is definitely top-notch in Rank Two Middle Grade. It is the best Law Weapon I have here. The price is not expensive, only 130 yuan. Grade spirit stone.”

When Wang Ba heard this, he immediately pondered slightly.

The price is indeed not expensive.

If it were placed in Chen Country, it would probably cost twenty or thirty pieces of Middle Grade Spiritual Stone.

Of course, maybe because this is a no-cost transaction, it is normal for the price to be lower.

Wang Ba didn't have many spiritual stones on him, and he had already spent almost all of them in the previous few squares, but he still had a lot of spirit chicken essence and spirit turtle essence in his storage bag, so he took some out immediately, and talked with the female nun. After some discussion.

The female cultivator felt the effect of the spiritual chicken essence, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he simply exchanged this Rank Two Middle Grade robe for four pots of spirit chicken essence.

"The spiritual food of Fellow Daoist is extraordinary. I have taken some in the past, but it is not pure and mixed with a lot of spiritual ingredients. Although the spiritual energy is not inferior, the vitality and blood contained in it are much worse. .”

The female cultivator said sincerely.

Wang Ba was not surprised when he heard this.

His spiritual chicken essence is made from a large number of spiritual chickens. Except for the addition of spiritual materials during preparation, it is extremely pure after that.

However, it is difficult for most of the spiritual food makers on the market to be able to produce a large number of spiritual chickens for production on a large scale like Wang Ba.

In order to ensure the output, some other spiritual materials that are harmless to monks and can also provide spiritual energy will naturally be added.

However, whether it is the speed of refining and absorption or the energy, blood and essence contained in it, there will naturally be a huge difference.

This was something that even the Dongsheng Sect, which had raised many spiritual chickens in the past, found difficult to achieve.

After all, the 'Extreme Blood Pill' that purifies the bloodline of rare chickens is extremely rare, and it is unreliable to breed spiritual chickens solely based on the pitiful reproductive efficiency of spiritual chickens.

The Dongsheng Sect has been able to accumulate so many spiritual chickens over the years, which is considered a good way to cultivate them.

Therefore, for most people, spiritual food is only an auxiliary resource for practice, and the mainstream practice resources are still elixirs and some Spirit Medicine.

After exchanging transmission notes with the female cultivator, Wang Ba put away the Rank Two Middle Grade robe and immediately began to refine it.

Afterwards, he walked around the stalls one by one.

"Quick! There's someone out there buying the Foundation Building Pill!"

"What?! Someone is selling this? What's the price?"

"Hurry up and take a look. I heard that it's not just the Foundation Building Pill, but also other Rank Two elixirs!"

The crowd became anxious inexplicably, and many Qi Refining Realm monks hurriedly ran in one direction.

Wang Ba also followed and looked around. Listening to the stall owner introducing the effects of the elixirs one by one, he suddenly gained a lot of knowledge.

Only then did I learn that although most elixirs contain erysipelas, there are also some niche schools that specialize in developing elixirs without erysipelas.

It's just that the effect of these pills is really hard to compare with conventional pills, so for Independent Cultivators with extremely limited resources, few people will buy them.

Wang Ba is also not very interested, because apart from some medicinal pills with special effects, although the medicinal pills used for cultivation have better effects than the spirit chicken essence, they are also limited.

The key is that the elixir is expensive, but the cost of the spirit chicken essence is much lower.

Natural chicken essence is the first choice of Wang Ba.

After watching for a while, Wang Ba left the crowded stall and started sweeping one by one.

Whenever he saw a stall selling spells, exercises, or strange things, he would go up and take a look.

I also collected some interesting things, such as Rank Two spiritual plant seeds.

There are also many more practical common spells.

These spells do not occupy his mana. Even attack spells are difficult to surpass Rank Two powerful spells such as "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Technique".

But it can also play a role in practice and enrich his foundation.

Anyway, he can use Shou Yuan to make it quick, so he won't let it go.

It's a pity that he has never been able to encounter the technique of closing his eyes.

However, in the process of purchasing spells, he accidentally found a copy of "The Atlas of Mountain-Moving Monkeys" among the pile of miscellaneous books he bought.

He opened it curiously and looked through it, and was pleasantly surprised.

This is an essay written by a beast-controlling monk. It mainly records some characteristics of the mountain-moving ape race and the experience he summarized when raising mountain-moving apes.

For example, among the mountain-moving apes, there is a type of ape that is completely different from other irascible apes. They are naturally calm and like to sit cross-legged. They try to absorb the aura of heaven and earth with their bodies every day.

However, these quiet mountain-moving apes are the natural kings of their race because they are good at learning and using their bodies.

Therefore, once they pass the tribulation of minor thunder as adults, they will be able to grow rapidly after stepping into Rank Two, and even break through the limitations of their race and become Rank Two Middle Grade spirit beasts under heavy training and their own natural practice.

When Wang Ba saw this, he immediately remembered the first mountain monkey he bought.

The ape, as described in the book, meditates quietly like an old monk every day.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the natural king of the mountain-moving ape family.

But Wang Ba was both surprised and delighted when he saw the back, because the author of the "Mountain Ape Atlas" is still in an obscure place in the book, recording the cultivation of the mountain ape after it successfully became a Rank Two spirit beast ideas.

Wang Ba has carefully studied the mountain-moving ape, and has also written a bloodline breakthrough prescription based on the situation of the mountain-moving ape. He can be regarded as a semi-expert.

Comparing the other party's training ideas, he suddenly had frequent inspirations. According to the situation of the mountain-moving ape, he quickly adjusted the previous prescription, and then made a list of some needed spiritual materials, Spirit Medicine and other materials, and asked Liu Yaodong to help find them.

Liu Yaodong immediately took advantage of his vast network of contacts and mobilized his colleagues to help find him.

Next, Wang Ba also gained a lot at some stalls selling spiritual animals.

Many spiritual beasts that Wang Ba had never seen before and were only found in Song and Yan countries opened his eyes.

It took a lot of spiritual chicken essence to win a lot.

But most of them are Rank One spirit beasts.

The prices of Rank Two spirit beasts are mostly very high. The reason why the previous mountain-moving apes are cheap is also because the mountain-moving apes have the restriction of the small sky thunder calamity, and the fatality rate is half and half, so the price naturally cannot go up.

A normal Rank Two Low Grade would cost at least eighty or ninety spirit stones.

For Middle Grade, it doubled directly.

Rank Two High Grade and Supreme Grade spirit beasts, but Wang Ba did not see them.

Apparently it was either too rare or had been bought by someone long ago.

Of course, he is also very satisfied with the Rank One spirit beast, which can greatly enrich his experience as a spirit chef and help him master the second step of spirit chef training more quickly.

After a while, Liu Yaodong squeezed through the crowd and gave Wang Ba a surprise.

"Senior, this junior has just found a passion bee that is very similar to what you said. Can you please take a look, is it like this?"

Wang Ba immediately followed him to a stall selling spiritual insects, where he saw a swarm of passion bees.

Fortunately, spiritual insects are generally not expensive unless they have special effects.

And it’s Rank One after all.

He immediately spent the spirit stones and bought it.

Liu Yaodong also bought all the spiritual materials that Wang Ba had promised to buy before.

Wang Ba nodded with satisfaction. With these things, all he had to do was take out some supplies he left at the chicken farm to breed the orangutans.

After the cultivation is completed, Mountain Moving Ape should be able to successfully enter the Rank Two Middle Grade. After that, he will deposit enough longevity yuan for ripening. After surviving the Xiaotian Thunder Tribulation, he may be able to go one step further.

After wandering around for a while, he unexpectedly saw a Rank Two High Grade Flying Law Weapon at a stall, and immediately took it down without hesitation.

Flying Law Weapon is no less important to him than defending Law Weapon.

The prerequisite for running away if you can't beat him is to be fast enough to be able to run away.

So Wang Ba spent all his savings.

So much so that except for some spirit turtle essence left for his own practice and some Law Weapons, talismans, practice materials, etc. that he could use, he couldn't even take out a single spirit stone from his body.

Fortunately, the goals he wanted to achieve before coming here were also achieved, and even far exceeded his expectations.

He was planning to wait until someone finished setting up the stall, and he could also set up a stall to sell some spiritual beasts to restore his health.

Wang Ba was suddenly startled.

A fat monk who walked towards him suddenly showed surprise.

After a slight pause.

Neither of them spoke.

Wang Ba smiled politely, nodded slightly, and immediately walked towards the other party, walking calmly.

The fat monk, with his gray beard and hair, also showed a smile on his face as if he happened to meet a familiar stranger, and walked in the direction of Wang Ba.

The two just passed each other.

A missed moment.

The smile on Wang Ba's face disappeared.

A decision was made immediately.

Walk!

Go now!

Because he had already recognized the identity of this fat monk. He was the 'high-spirited cultivator' that he and Zhu Jianyi met in Linglong Ghost Market before.

Meeting this person at this time was an unusual coincidence, and it immediately made him feel a little uneasy.

He felt it and found that the other party was not following him. He immediately squeezed into the crowd and walked out of the ghost market.

And at the same time.

The other direction.

Li Qu gently touched an imperceptible gray spot on his palm, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"No matter how cunning you are, you can't escape the influence of 'musk horn scent'!"
