Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 238 The Battle for Spiritual Food

"Shuli Zong?"

Wang Ba couldn't help frowning.

In the past six months, the three major sects have not felt sorry for him. On the contrary, the monks from the three major sects they met, even the Gold Core Perfected Being, treated him with courtesy.

Although he may not think so in his heart, at least on the surface, Wang Ba's status in Yong'an City is not inferior to that of Gold Core Perfected Being.

Xuli Zong is no different among them.

But that Wang Tang would come over from time to time and persuade Wang Ba to secretly join the Xuli Sect.

Wang Ba also fooled him casually.

Even so, the other party didn't seem to care.

So when Wang Ba saw Wen Yong's message, he just felt confused.

But Wen Yong didn't say much in the transmission notes, he just mentioned two more words.

Spiritual food.

"Spiritual food..."

Wang Ba looked thoughtful, and then he seemed to think of something.

However, he did not rush to verify. Instead, he considerately cooked a breakfast himself and brought it to the bed.

Bu Chan blushed with embarrassment.

Although they were an old couple, Bu Chan still looked the same as they did twenty years ago in front of him.

After cleaning up, he fed the spirit beasts again. Seeing the small hill-like piles of food being quickly wiped out by these spirit beasts, Wang Ba's flesh ached, but he was also quite relieved.

Then he opened a corner of the formation and walked out.

"Master Shen!"

"Master Shen is here!"

"Master Shen, can you give me a chance to join the singing club next time?"

As soon as Wang Ba walked out, he heard the surprised voices of the monks.

He looked around and saw that the street in front of him was already crowded with people.

The trees in front of the shops opposite have been cast with small spells, and they are fluttering in the wind.

Some Independent Cultivators who had seen Wang Ba before were looking at him with surprise on their faces.

Wang Ba felt awkward being looked at by so many people, but he quickly adapted to it.

This happens almost every time.

However, no one dared to get too close to him, because there were still several monks from the three major sects guarding outside the door.

These people are all in the middle stage of Foundation Building. Although they are not as good as Wen Yong, when they join forces, it is difficult for ordinary Foundation Building Late Stage monks to match.

Although the relationship between the sect monks and the Independent Cultivators seems to have eased a lot recently, the Independent Cultivators still can't help but feel a little frightened when facing these people.

Wang Ba did not deliberately get too close to these Independent Cultivators.

If this was really done, the three major sects would probably have some ideas.

He smiled and nodded, then walked out of his mansion.

Several monks from the three sects who were guarding the mansion immediately separated themselves and followed Wang Ba closely to protect Wang Ba at all times.

Of course, Wang Ba also knew that it was more of a surveillance than a protection.

This is what it should be, so Wang Ba doesn't care.

Along the way, although he tried his best to avoid too much contact with Independent Cultivators, Wang Ba still attracted the attention of many Independent Cultivators wherever he went.

It’s different from half a year ago.

Due to the exposure of Wang Ba's identity and the courtesy he received, as well as the transfer of the Shanli singing club to Yong'an City, the three major sects continued to operate Yong'an City.

In the past six months, it has attracted many Independent Cultivators from Yan State to settle here.

Yong'an City, which was originally small, quickly became crowded.

The three major businesses also made a lot of money by collecting rental fees and taking commissions from various transactions.

Wang Ba often wonders. The success of Yong'an City proves that the three major sects are not without capable people, but why haven't they done this before?

Instead, they suppressed Independent Cultivator everywhere.

There is a sense of killing a thousand enemies and losing two or three hundred to yourself. Anyway, it means not giving the Independent Cultivator a chance to rise.

If a city like Yong'an City is built as soon as possible, and land money and water are collected, the development of the three major sectors may be able to reach a higher level.

Of course, there may be something he doesn't know about.

Without thinking much, he cast a spell on his face, and his face suddenly blurred.

Soon, he stopped in front of a spiritual food shop.

The location of the shop is good. It is at the intersection of two streets and has the largest flow of people.

However, the strange thing is that compared to the overcrowding of other neighboring shops, this shop is crowded with people at the door.

Wang Ba glanced at the signboard and Wangzi outside the shop.

‘Shall leave Lingmipu’.

He couldn't help but look surprised.

"It's strange, why are there so few people entering the store... Isn't Lingmi Shop the pillar industry of the Sulli Sect?"

Each of the four major sects of Yan Kingdom has its own industry.

For example, Zhenling Palace, because it is the strongest and has Nascent Soul in charge, monopolizes 60% of the entire Yan Kingdom's spiritual stone mines and many other spiritual mines and medicinal fields.

On the basis of so many resources, the weapon refiners and alchemists in Zhenling Palace can get a lot of practice opportunities.

The quality of the Law Weapon and elixirs it refines is naturally much higher than that of the other three major sects.

Therefore, it was able to be exported to surrounding countries, and the resources obtained were fed back to Zhenling Palace again.

The monks of Zhenling Palace increased in strength and expanded externally again, eroding the resources of the other three sects.

The resources obtained are in turn invested back into the expansion and improvement of the industry.

This creates a positive cycle.

It can be said that almost all of Yan's most profitable industries are controlled by Zhenling Palace.

If this trend continues, Zhenling Palace will be able to complete the annexation of the other three sects in up to a hundred years, thereby monopolizing a country.

This is also the fundamental reason why the three major sects were so impatient after realizing that Zhang Daobai of Zhenling Palace might be dying.

Not to mention these.

As one of the three sects, Xuli Sect is neither like Danlongmen, which has fine cinnabar spiritual mines and various spiritual plants that can be used to make talismans, nor is it like Huifeng Valley, which is one-time consumption of making some Laws. Weapon has extensive experience.

What you need to rely on to leave the clan is farming.

Since there are many spiritual veins under their jurisdiction, and there are many spiritual fields, they have raised a lot of spiritual planters who specialize in cultivating various spiritual plants.

Among them, spiritual rice, as the most widely used spiritual plant, has gradually become the mainstay of the Xuli Sect's income.

Every year, there are many monks who can't afford pills and can only rely on spiritual rice as a cultivation resource. They barely make ends meet and contribute their last effort to the rise of Xuli Sect.

Later, in order to expand the audience level of spiritual rice, Xuli Zong also deliberately spent a large amount of spiritual stones to obtain the inheritance of refining the essence of spiritual plants from a spiritual chef in the Great Chu Dynasty who was good at handling spiritual plants.

They concentrate a large amount of spiritual rice to make spiritual rice essence, and then sell it to the outside world, taking the high-quality route, just like spiritual chicken essence.

Of course, Wang Ba's spiritual chicken essence actually appeared much later than the spiritual rice essence.

This move indeed brought great benefits to the Xuli Sect.

The Xuli Sect, which was originally very common among the three major sects, also relied on this to gradually turn around. Until the Tianmen Sect appeared later, the Xuli Sect boldly opened a market, refined "human bags", and secretly caught Independent Cultivator to sell them to Tianmen Sect.

After nearly sixty or seventy years of development, it now seems to be the most powerful leader among the three major sects.

Wang Ba learned all this from Wen Yong.

As a descendant of the Gold Core Perfected Being, I have to say that Wen Yong indeed knows far more than the average monk.

And according to Zhao Feng's words, Xuli Zong also seized his opportunity to become a dragon and jumped up.

Just because he knew this, Wang Ba felt even more incredible.

Lingmi is the basic product of the Sulli Sect, but now almost no one comes into the store to buy it. How serious is this?

And just when Wang Ba frowned, he suddenly heard a noise coming from the Lingmi shop:

"Ten pounds of Rank Two Purple Flower Spirit Rice costs seven Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Are you trying to steal the money?!"

"Hey, there is also spiritual rice essence for sale here...a pot of Rank One spiritual rice essence costs thirty Middle Grade spiritual stones?! Who can afford this?"

"Ha... don't buy it if you can't afford it? Who cares! I might as well save some spiritual stones and wait for a chance to grab a bottle of spiritual chicken essence! It's not much more expensive after all, and the effect is much better than spiritual rice!"

"What's wrong? You still want to hit someone? I'm so scared!"

As he spoke, the monk opened the door and walked out of the house, cursing.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but turn around and start scolding him. Then he noticed the word "Xuli" written on the sign in front of the door. His pupils suddenly shrank, and cold sweat poured down his face.

Immediately, without even daring to fart, he turned around and slipped into the crowd.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba was slightly silent, and suddenly understood what Wen Yong meant.

Obviously, the spiritual chicken essence currently being sold by the singing club has had a subtle impact on the spiritual food business of the Xuli Sect.

Unlike ordinary people who cannot live without food, with the presence of spiritual veins and Bigu Pill, Qi Refining Realm monks can live without food.

Therefore, they can simply reduce the purchase of spiritual rice, accumulate spiritual stones, and compete for the essence of spiritual chickens when the singing competition is held.

Of course, most ordinary Qi Refining Independent Cultivators do not have such financial resources, but then again, there are probably not many Qi Refining monks among Independent Cultivators who can afford Xuli Zong Lingmi.

It can only be said that the two still have a large degree of overlap in target groups.

"It seems that it is time to appropriately reduce the output of Rank One Spiritual Chicken Essence..."

After thinking for a while, Wang Ba secretly made a decision in his heart.

In the past six months, he has devoted himself to refining the essence of the spiritual chicken, which is not only used to supply singing clubs, but also to show his abilities to the three major sects.

Indirectly consolidate one's position.

Therefore, the spirit chicken essence released is not small.

And if one bottle of spiritual chicken essence is saved sparingly, it can last a Qi Refining monk for several years.

There were quite a few monks collecting spiritual stones to buy them.

In addition, some monks are accumulating spiritual stones to wait and see, and after calculation, I am afraid that Xu Li Zong's Lingmi Shop is indeed not having a good time lately.

If the time is short, it doesn't matter. If the time is long and the source of wealth is cut off, I'm afraid the Xuli Sect will have to find a way to deal with themselves even if they don't have any ideas at first.

Fortunately, he realized this after Wen Yong reminded him.

Wang Ba doesn’t feel sorry at all:

"It just so happens that it's time to turn your energy back to your own practice."

Now he has achieved part of his goal.

He has barely established his position in Yong'an City. Whether it is an Independent Cultivator or a sect monk, not to mention the Yan Kingdom, at least in Baiyunping and the three major sects, almost everyone knows it.

In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

And as the singing club gradually grows, dividends can also bring him a steady stream of income. He only needs to ensure that he supplies a portion of the spirit chicken essence every month, and that is enough.

The rest is left to Wen Yong to worry about.

Then he spun around again.

I want to see if there are any spiritual materials I need.

Not only Jia Fifteen's bloodline breakthrough materials, but also the Wu Yuan King, he also took the time to think about it recently and came up with a recipe.

It's just that he doesn't know enough about the Rank Three materials, and many of them are just conjectures. He can't guarantee that this recipe will be effective on King Wuyu.

But you always have to try and experiment to know the results.

But it is a pity that the stalls and shops in Yong'an City sell almost all Rank One and Rank Two treasures. Once it comes to Rank Three, it is completely blank. It seems that someone is deliberately controlling it, and who is the person controlling it? You don't have to guess.

In comparison, it is not as good as Linglong Ghost Market.

"In total, the opening day of the second floor of Linglong Ghost Market is coming soon."

"Fellow Daoist from Tang Dynasty should also be back, and senior fellow apprentice..."

Wang Ba pondered for a while.

Although he was a little disappointed that he could not buy the Rank Three spiritual material, he returned to the mansion and began to concentrate on practice.

But not long after entering the meditation, he suddenly heard a Hong Mai voice from outside the formation:

"Xiaoyou Shen, open the door quickly, the old man brought you what you asked for!"

Hearing this voice, Wang Ba's eyes lit up when he was practicing.

Thank you for the 500-point reward of a ray of blue silk in the sky, the 1500-point reward for the book friend 20230402184543854, and the 588-point reward for the book friend 20230604373168

There are still chapters tonight, not sure about the time, anyway, it will definitely be more tonight
