Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 24 Change!

Wang Ba waited patiently for several days, and then took four male chickens that had been imbued with longevity and brought them to Lujialiangji in Xiyuanfang City.

Although he showed his true face, Wang Ba tried his best to reduce his presence and waited until there were few people in the store before walking in.

"Hey! Brother Wang, why are you here now? All the Meridian Opening grass seeds have been sold out early in the morning. Do you still want the nematodes?"

Shopkeeper Lu was particularly enthusiastic when he saw Wang Ba.

It’s hard not to be enthusiastic. After all, although Wang Ba is a handyman, he has visited the store many times and bought a lot of nematodes.

He is the only loyal customer who is willing to repurchase after being fooled into buying it once.

With such a net worth, among the handymen, although he was not considered a big customer, he was still considered wealthy.

But Wang Ba waved his hands and said: "Not to mention this, can I still accept the spiritual chicken?"

"Spirit chicken? Of course, all comers are welcome, the more the merrier! What, you have one?"

When shopkeeper Lu heard that it was a spiritual chicken, he quickly walked around from behind the counter with a smile and took the bamboo basket carried by Wang Ba.

When I opened the lid of the basket and took a look, I immediately felt happy.

"Four Low Grade chickens! What a guy! Brother Wang, have you robbed Ding Shizhuang?"

"How can I, a handyman, dare to rob the village guarded by the immortals? Don't worry, it's absolutely safe!"

In response to Shopkeeper Lu's temptation, Wang Ba smiled and excused himself.

As Wang Ba stayed in the sect longer and chatted with Lao Hou, he also learned a lot of common sense.

For example, Dingzizhuang is a place dedicated to raising chickens under the 'Wan Beast Room', with hundreds of chickens in total.

Among them, the first ten Zhuangzi are places where spiritual chickens are raised and are guarded by outer disciples.

Others are kept and managed by handymen.

Generally, the higher the number is, the deeper the background is and the more rare chickens are raised.

For example, the previous Ding Shiliu Village raised four to five hundred rare chickens, while Wang Ba's villa was called Ding Baishi Village. When Mr. Sun left, there were only a little more than a hundred rare chickens in total.

Of course, the higher the Zhuangzi's number is, the larger its monthly payment will generally be, and the pressure will not be any less than that of the lower Zhuangzi.

This is why Song Lun of Dingliuzhuang couldn't wait to buy rare chickens everywhere as soon as he received the compensation.

What Shopkeeper Lu just said was just a joke. Seeing Wang Ba's assurance that there was no problem, he also took out the yellow paper with a smile and tested each one.

"Brother Wang, don't say I don't believe you, this is the rule!"

Shopkeeper Lu explained.

Wang Ba nodded and did not object, but he suddenly thought of 'Jia Wu'.

"I don't know if this guy is still a Low Grade spiritual chicken..."

"Four Low Grade male chickens, tsk, it's a pity that they are not hens," shopkeeper Lu shook his head with regret on his face, but he also knew that most people would be reluctant to part with hens, so he raised his head and said:

"Brother Wang, we're all acquaintances, so I won't be polite to you. I'll give you three yuan and three cents for these four spiritual chickens!"

"I don't want spiritual stones, so you can exchange them for rare chickens for me!"

Wang Ba said decisively.

"All replaced by rare chickens?"

Shopkeeper Lu looked surprised, but he still moved the abacus quickly: "That's it! I'll give you the purchase price, but the price of rare chickens has increased recently. Now hens cost 5 cents and 7 cents, and roosters cost 2 cents. 1 centimeter... can be exchanged for 34 pieces, half male and half female, and I will give you another male!"

"I don't want a hen, just a rooster."

Wang Ba waved his hand again.

Since they plan to barter and exchange quickly, it is naturally more cost-effective to replace the rooster.

"Just cock?"

Shopkeeper Lu was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

"That's 62!"

"Give me two more!" Wang Ba gave full play to his spirit of taking advantage of anyone.

"Two of them are worth four points of spiritual stone... Okay, for the sake of old customers, I will suffer a little loss and give it to you!"

But for some reason, shopkeeper Lu always felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it before.

After the transaction was completed, Wang Ba was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he asked with interest: "Shopkeeper, can you sell me this technique of raising and breeding nematodes?"

"You want to breed it yourself?"

Shopkeeper Lu shook his head: "The method is not difficult, but I have to advise you, brother, the breeding of nematodes is very time-consuming and financial. I see that you buy a lot of nematodes, so I know you must be serious about training. If you have spiritual roots and embark on the path of immortality, there is no need to waste this time."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for your concern. I'll just ask. It's too time-consuming, so forget it."

Wang Ba said with a smile.

Shopkeeper Lu didn't hide it, and soon taught him the methods of raising and breeding the muscle-cutting nematodes without charging him any money.

"This tendon-cutting worm actually uses the bones of high-grade spiritual beasts as its nest. It will lay eggs after eating and drinking enough, and it also needs to replace the bones of spiritual beasts regularly... It is indeed troublesome."

However, he still kept it in mind, and if he had the chance, he planned to save some lifespan on this tendon-cutting worm.

After leaving Xiyuanfang City and making sure that no one was following him, he returned to the villa.

After that, he followed the same pattern and took four spiritual chickens to Dongshanfang City and Beisongfang City respectively, and exchanged them for more than 120 male rare chickens.

I didn’t go to Nanhu, the rip off of customers there was too serious.

It took a lot of effort and several transports to finally bring back all these rare chickens.

At this time, the number of rare pheasants in the villa suddenly increased to about 260.

Among them, there are 6 spiritual pheasants, 202 male pheasants and 53 female pheasants.

There are fewer hens than when he first arrived, mainly due to the monthly supply and insufficient number of newborn hens.

And having too many roosters is only temporary.

Considering the impact, he only gave 60 of them and deposited longevity yuan respectively.

In the past few months, he ate more than ten spiritual chickens. Counting the lifespan he gained, his lifespan now has reached 190.2 years.

Ten days later.

After the transformation of the rare chicken was completed, he harvested it directly, and his longevity successfully exceeded 550 years.

This is a quantity Wang Ba has never had.

Although he was reluctant to part with it, he still chose to consume it.

[Current longevity-72 years]

The fourth level of the Body Strengthening Meridian is completed!

[Current longevity-144 years]

The fifth floor!

[Current longevity - 288 years]

The sixth floor!

In one breath, I reached the sixth level!

Feeling the sense of power overflowing in his body, Wang Ba became more eager to become a practitioner.

But his breakthrough pace had to be slowed down.

As soon as his body was filled with a sense of strength and pain, he vaguely understood that although the technique could be achieved quickly through longevity, his body might not be able to bear it all at once.

You have to take it slow and let your body get used to it before making a breakthrough.

Secondly, he found that the rare chickens in the market had recently been unable to keep up with his demand.

He accidentally learned about this when he went to Xiyuanfang City two days ago and chatted with Shopkeeper Lu.

Due to the recent frequent outbreaks of unknown chicken plague in some farms in Dingzi Village, some chicken farmers in Dingzi Village began to reversely acquire rare chickens.

This has resulted in a shortage of rare chickens on the market and a rapid rise in prices.

"Not only this, many outer sect disciples are also purchasing rare chickens in large quantities. Now I don't even have a hen! I have to go to other markets and even the Independent Cultivator monks outside the sect to buy them. Independent Cultivator monks will not give face to us mortals..."

Shopkeeper Lu complained to Wang Ba.

When Wang Ba heard this, he wanted to buy a batch of rare chickens. However, when he asked about the price, he immediately gave up.

Because even the male rare chicken has increased to six points of spiritual stone!

You know, when Wang Ba first sold spiritual chickens, the purchase price of a male rare chicken was only one cent and five cents.

Even when I exchanged the spiritual chicken for the rare chicken not long ago, it was only two cents and one centimeter.

The price difference is really too big, Wang Ba is not going to be taken advantage of.

After all, if he wants to successfully reach the tenth level, he will need at least more than 5,100 years of life, which translates to nearly 900 rare chickens.

There are still more than a hundred male rare chickens in the villa that have not yet been deposited into longevity. In other words, he is still short of eight hundred rare chickens.

If you buy it at a high level, its cost will be horribly high.

"Besides, it's not safe to replace too many spiritual chickens at once. It's better to wait until the price drops. Anyway, it's not too urgent."

After that, he went to the nearby herbal medicine shop, talisman shop and other shops.

However, what surprised him was that almost all the products in the herbal medicine shop and the talisman shop were sold out.

Only relatively unpopular and low-priced talismans such as low-level spiritual light talismans are left.

This talisman does not require magic power to activate. Wang Ba thought of Jiawu and immediately bought a stack.

After returning to the villa, he couldn't wait to bring the yellow paper closer to Jiawu.

The yellow paper spontaneously ignited without wind, and at the same time, a faint white light rose...
