Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 176 The art of hating victory

The second floor of Linglong Ghost Market is filled with people.

Many Foundation Building monks lowered their bodies from time to time in the somewhat compact stalls and asked in low voices.

Benefiting from the dense flow of people, a pretty-looking female nun soon came to inquire curiously in front of Wang Ba's stall.

"This is spiritual food, made from Rank One Low Grade spiritual chicken. The effect is comparable to elixirs, but there is no erysipelas..."

After hearing Wang Ba's explanation, the female cultivator's eyes suddenly lit up: "I have never heard of this. Can I try it?"

Wang Ba hesitated, but did not refuse.

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

So it’s normal not to know.

The female cultivator took a sip lightly and nodded in surprise: "It's true! 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 compare to the elixir!"

"How many spiritual stones does this pot of spiritual chicken essence cost?"

Wang Ba hesitated and said a price that he thought was okay:

"This pot contains forty Middle Grade spiritual stones."

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

However, he thought that the Foundation Building monks had a relatively loose budget and could accept the slightly higher price.

Sure enough, when the female cultivator heard the price, she didn't make any counter-offer. After weighing it for a while, she simply took out forty Middle Grade spiritual stones and gave it to Wang Ba.

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

"The price is too high. One Tu Yuan Dan only costs ten Middle Grade spiritual stones. This pot is worth at most three or two Tu Yuan Dan."

The other party bargains.

But Wang Ba refused to give in at all.

"Heh, just keep your shit and let it get moldy!"

The other party finally sneered and left.

Wang Ba doesn't care either. In business, people are always willing to fight and suffer. He can't force others to buy his things.

Besides, he has only refined ten pots in total, and they will only be sold out.

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

People came and went, and soon Wang Ba sold two more pots here.

After thinking about it, he threw all the unused Law Weapons, talismans, elixirs and a bunch of unused sundries in the storage bag on the stall, which attracted a lot of people.

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

Perhaps because Wang Ba's price was not high, all these sundries were quickly swept away. There were more than three hundred Middle Grade spiritual stones in Wang Ba's storage bag.

Among them, the Rank Two Middle Grade hammer-shaped Law Weapon from ‘Gao Zhenxiu’ contributed a lot.

What makes Wang Ba not satisfied is that there is no news about what he really needs.

However, the flow of people gradually became sparse for some unknown reason.

This made Wang Ba a little confused. Didn't it mean that the second floor of the ghost market lasted half a month? Why did the number of people decrease so quickly?

The one-eyed middle-aged monk who had been busy at the stall next to him finally had time to sit down and take a rest, and soon started chatting with Wang Ba quite familiarly.

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

"It seems that Fellow Daoist is here for the first time, so I don't know anything. On the second floor of this ghost market, there will be a Gold Core Perfected Being giving lectures in the ghost market every day. You only need to pay some spiritual stones to go in and listen. This There must have been a Gold Core Perfected Being teaching at that time, so the number of people was reduced, and when the Perfect Being finished speaking, the number of people naturally increased again."

"That's it! Thank you Fellow Daoist for clarifying my doubts."

Wang Ba repeatedly handed over his hand and couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.

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

Anyway, he was in the Tianmen Sect and had never heard of Gold Core Perfected Being being taught in the sect.

Of course there might be, but it’s just not open to leftist monks.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt itchy and unbearable.

Since he became a monk, he has almost always explored alone, and the only person who has given him guidance on practice is Zhao Feng.

I have never listened to the Gold Core Perfected Being lecture.

He immediately put away his stall, spoke to the stall holder next to him, and walked in the direction pointed by him.

Soon I saw a large courtyard filled with people, and a Gold Core Perfected Being was sitting on it, speaking eloquently.

But Wang Ba couldn't hear a sound.

"What's going on here?"

Wang Ba asked a monk next to him curiously.

"Inside is the 'Yuji Perfected Being', which has entered the Gold Core realm in just one hundred and twenty years. Naturally, it talks about how to quickly practice and break through."

The other party seems to be quite familiar with this.

When Wang Ba heard this, his heart moved. He would be able to enter the Gold Core in one hundred and twenty years. This speed is indeed extremely amazing among Independent Cultivators.

After all, this Yuji Perfected Being barely stayed in front of the bottleneck for too long, and smoothly rushed to the Gold Core state.

For Independent Cultivator, it is really incredible.

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

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

"hehe."

The other party just smiled and didn't explain.

Seeing that Wang Ba couldn't find anything out, he went to the entrance of the courtyard, spent only 1 Middle Grade spirit stone, and successfully entered the formation.

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

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

Just because this Yuji Perfected Being advocated that monks take as many elixirs as possible that have significant effects but also have a lot of erysipelas. It was even recommended to take several more pills to balance each other and fight fire with fire.

Here, in order to prove his methods and theories, he also analyzed the ingredients of the elixir in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and what kind of reaction would occur after taking multiple elixirs together.

I have to say that his theory is indeed well-founded and has won the hearts of Independent Cultivators.

After all, Independent Cultivators are limited by conditions and most hope to use cheaper elixirs to achieve better results.

As for those elixirs with more serious erysipelas, the price is naturally much lower than ordinary elixirs.

Yuji's Perfected Being provided them with theoretical basis and confidence, and the Independent Cultivators were naturally overjoyed.

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

Yuji Perfected Being sat on the high platform and sighed with pity on his face:

"This Perfected Being also came from your time. To be honest, when I was cultivating like you, I was always worried about whether taking these elixirs would affect my ability to become a Nascent Soul True in the future. Monarch...hehe, there is nothing wrong with this for the long term, but our Independent Cultivators have low qualifications, are precarious, and are despised by the sect. If we can't even take care of the immediate future, how can we take care of the longer term?"

"Besides, now our Yan country, no, it should be several nearby countries, may be facing a big change!"

Yuji Perfected Being has bright eyes.

"Have you heard? The Wei State, which is separated from us by Qiao State and Xu State, was destroyed by a big force a few days ago!"

Upon hearing the news, the monks below were suddenly shocked and noisy.

"What? There is such a thing?"

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

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

The world of spiritual practice has experienced ups and downs. It is normal for a sect to be destroyed, but it is extremely rare for a country to be destroyed.

Especially after the situation in the five dynasties of Yan in the north, Jin in the west, Chu in the south, Qi in the middle, and Wu in the southeast was stabilized, it was not uncommon for monks to massacre cities, but it was almost unheard of to destroy the country.

Moreover, although Wei State is separated from Yan State by two countries, monks from Wei State occasionally come here to trade, so Yan State does not know Wei State at all.

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

But Yuji Perfected Being sighed:

"You don't know? It's normal not to know. After all, your cultivation level is not enough, and you can't look at the entire world of cultivation from this corner of the Yan Kingdom. As far as I know, this force is called the Kingdom of the Ten Thousand Gods. It has long been It replaced the former Wu Dynasty, the overlord of the southeast, and even the Chu Dynasty suffered a lot from it."

"Now the momentum is becoming 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 is overthrown, and we, the already unbearable Independent Cultivators, may not even be able to stay in the Yan Kingdom, and will become homeless, wandering around other countries, and being despised by everyone in the world..."

Hearing Yuji's Perfect Being words, the courtyard suddenly fell silent.

Except for a few people, everyone was shocked by the future described by Yuji's Perfected Being.

More than a hundred years seems like a long time, but you must know that these are all Foundation Building monks. According to the longevity of the Foundation Building monks, many of you here may have the opportunity to see that day.

Wang Ba couldn't help feeling terrified.

He remembered that when Soul Searching Ji Lin was here, the Kingdom of the Gods seemed to have not yet expanded to the Wei Kingdom... No, there were still two or three countries away from the Wei Kingdom.

In less than ten years, such rapid progress has made Wang Ba truly realize the horror of Incense Road for the first time!

And he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

At the rate of expansion of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Gods, it would not take more than a hundred years, but probably ten years at most, before it would be under the eyes of the monks of the Yan Kingdom.

As for Yan State, according to Zhao Feng, it is only one Song State away from Chen State!

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

"At that time...even if Feng Linzhou is as big as Feng Linzhou, I'm afraid there won't be room for me!"

Wang Ba was horrified and moved.

And Yuji's Perfected Being finally showed up, showing a compassionate and compassionate attitude:

"This Perfected Being knows that it is not easy for us Independent Cultivators, so this Perfected Being specially obtained many elixirs with outstanding effects from a friend who is an alchemist."

"I, Perfected Being, would like to say first that this elixir is highly poisonous, so please be careful when purchasing it."

"If anyone is interested, you can find the disciples of this Perfected Being..."

Suddenly some monks who were already panicked couldn't help but hand over the spirit stones.

And Wang Ba finally understood the opponent's tactics.

Normal monks would never buy elixirs with strong erysipelas, and alchemists would generally treat them as useless elixirs and dispose of them.

After Yuji’s Perfected Being’s eloquent words and expansion anxiety, he successfully cut these Independent Cultivators like leeks.

Shaking his head secretly, Wang Ba retreated quietly.

Not only him, but also some discerning people or people who were always sensitive to spiritual stones also quietly left the yard.

Most of these people saw something fishy, ​​but no one dared to take the initiative to expose it.

In front of Gold Core Perfected Being, who can have such courage?

With the end of Yuji's Perfected Being lecture.

The market suddenly became lively again.

Wang Ba also quickly returned to the original stall and set up the stall again.

However, after experiencing this wave of harvests from Yuji Perfected Being, Wang Ba clearly felt that some monks had become cash-strapped.

When we walked to the Wang Ba stall, even though a Foundation Building Late Stage monk showed interest, after asking about the price, he could only leave sadly.

Foundation Building Late Stage monk can't even afford a pot of spiritual chicken essence worth forty Middle Grade spiritual stones, which shows his embarrassment.

The stall owners around also complained.

But no one dared to mention the name Yuji Perfected Being.

Wang Ba sat there for a long time and only sold one pot of spiritual chicken essence. He was about to close the stall and go find Zhao Feng.

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

"May I ask Fellow Daoist, what is the price of this spiritual chicken essence?"

"Forty pieces of Middle Grade spiritual stone per pot, no counter-offer."

Wang Ba said without even thinking.

The main reason is that there are too many people making inquiries, many people making counter-offers, and very few people buying. Wang Ba is too lazy to waste words, and directly blocks other people's idea of ​​making counter-offers.

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

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the signboard next to Wang Ba, and his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Are you collecting spells here?"

Wang Ba did not look down on the other party when he heard this, and nodded: "But I don't want to accept all spells. It is best to have ones related to the soul, followed by some powerful water-related spells..."

But the young monk hurriedly said: "I have a 'skill of hating victory'. Is this okay?"

"The art of hating victory?"

Wang Ba was slightly startled when he heard this.

The so-called victory-weary technique is a technique that can be used to block others from cursing oneself, and conversely, can also be used to curse others.

It is relatively rare in the spiritual world.

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

The young monk did not hesitate, rummaged in 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 and looked at it briefly, and then he was pleasantly surprised.

It turns out that the real name of this ‘win-weary art’ is the ‘Hundred Lives and Soul-Desecrating Curse’.

There is no specific grade.

After sacrificing one hundred creatures of the same level as the subject, a curse can be placed on the soul of the subject.

This curse may not necessarily kill the other party, but it can linger on the other party's soul and cause it to continue to fall into various negative states.

On the contrary, if the recipient of the spell is the caster himself, then the curse will attach a layer of protection to the caster's soul. Once someone tries to attack the caster's soul, they will be contaminated by the curse and fall into continuous negative effects. status.

In short, it is a winning-weary technique that looks very tasteless at first glance.

After all, it can kill hundreds of creatures of the same level as the subject, but it can't kill them. It's like a loss to my grandma's family.

But Wang Ba is different.

As long as Lin Zhenxiu, who occupies the body of A15, insists on sowing, he will soon be able to reap a batch of Rank Two soul 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, this requires Lin Zhen to cultivate hard.

In addition, the Spirit Communication ghost loach is of high quality, and with its reproduction speed, it can also meet Wang Ba's needs.

"But it seems that after we return, we need to pay more attention to this Lin Zhenxiu."

Wang Ba thought secretly in his heart.

"This Fellow Daoist, may I ask?"

At this time, the young monk asked nervously.

He also knew that the practicality of this spell was very low. It was okay to say at a low level, but when it came to the Foundation Building Stage, this technique of aversion to victory was almost useless. After all, where would he find so many Foundation Building Stage creatures? .

But what surprised him was that Wang Ba nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"

After saying that, he handed him a pot of spirit chicken essence.

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 spirits. ..."

Wang Ba smiled, feeling happy at the other party's sincerity. Moreover, he felt that it was rare to exchange a pot of spirit chicken essence for a technique that suited him so well.

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

Seeing that Wang Ba did not stick to this, the young monk immediately smiled gratefully at Wang Ba.

"Thank you Fellow Daoist!"

Then he handed over the jade slips recording the "Hundred Lives and Soul-Profane Curse" to Wang Ba.

"How about... let me explain to Fellow Daoist the key points of this technique?"

After hesitating for a while, the young monk still felt a little guilty and spoke hesitantly.

Wang Ba was a little surprised when he heard this, but since the other party took out this technique, he obviously had some research on it, and he immediately smiled and said:

"This is naturally the best, a helpful Fellow Daoist."

"where."

The young monk simply sat next to Wang Ba and explained briefly.

The business at Wang Ba's stall was average, and there was nothing going on, 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 Independent Cultivator.

After listening to it for a while, Wang Ba felt that he had gained a lot. Although he had not yet started practicing the "Hundred Lives and Soul-Desecrating Curse", he already had a clue in his mind.

Then he also expressed some of his thoughts.

Soon, the two gradually began to discuss with each other, from the art of hating victory, to ordinary spells, to powerful spells.

The more you talk, the more speculative you are.

Both Wang Ba and the young monks felt that their horizons were broadened.

And this young monk also accidentally revealed his identity.

"Yang Fellow Daoist, are you a monk from the Wei sect? How could you..."

Wang Ba's face was full of shock, but he suddenly thought of Yuji's words about Perfected Being before and suddenly understood.

Obviously, if the Wei Kingdom was destroyed, the sect would naturally cease to exist. As a monk of the sect, he would naturally have no choice but to live in another country.

The young monk's face 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!"

"My sect's monks, 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..."

"Gold Core, Nascent Soul...even in front of them, there is no way to escape!"

"Is there no way to stop them?"

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

"No."

The young monk shook his head and said sadly: "The sect master once said that the entire Feng Linzhou, the civil strife in Da Chu, and the shortness of breath in Da Qi, it is really difficult to stop the pace of the Kingdom of the Gods."

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

Wang Ba couldn't help but asked curiously: "Which two?"

"The Great Yan in the North, and...the Great Jin in the West!"
