Chapter 235: Chapter 42: Cunningly Seizing Wealth_i

Inside the wooden house.

Wang Ba fixed his face in contemplation.

He still remembered that Bai Yu had once said that Cheng Shu was about to cultivate a Class II top-grade Spirit Chicken. Once successful, Lu Yuansheng would choose him as the only breeder of Spirit Chickens, while the preferential treatment for Wang Ba and other cultivators skilled in Beast Control would be removed.

Yet, the Heavenly Gate Order suddenly issued a task, demanding him to go to the frontline within a month to fight the Incense Fire Dao; they disregarded their own rule of so-called “three opportunities”.

Clearly, the battle between the Tianmen Cult and the Incense Fire Dao had reached a fever pitch.

It even made the Tianmen Cult completely ignore their own rules.

It also meant that Cheng Shu had successfully bred the Class II top-grade

Spirit Chicken.

“This Cheng Shu is really good at cultivating Spirit Chickens.”

Despite not having met him in person, Wang Ba could not help but admire him.

He reflected on the years he had also devoted to studying diligently.

But even so, by combining the Lifespan Panel and Bloodline Breakthrough, he has only been able to breed a Class II upper-grade Spirit Chicken so far.

On the other hand, the other person managed to breed a Class II top-grade chicken in the same period.

The difference between their capabilities was clear.

Wang Ba could only admire this.

Recalling Tang Ji’s respect for him in regards to The Way of Beast Tamer, he had once been quietly proud, but now he only felt embarrassed.

“It seems I can’t avoid going to this battle.”

Wang Ba sighed, then cautiously began to think:

“However, compared to seven or eight years ago, I am now a Foundation Establishment Competitor, and I have mastered a powerful spell, plus I have the Wu Monkey King and Jia 15, Jia 16… Oh, if I encounter an early-stage Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, it should be okay, right?”

“Yes, it should be OK.”

“What if 1 encounter a middle-stage Incense-burning Dao Cultivator?”

Wang Ba was not so sure.

So far, he had only confronted one ‘Master Gao’.

But the other party was a Rogue Cultivator and, quite frankly, rather ordinary.

In Wang Ba’s view, this didn’t at all represent the true fighting power of a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

So, as long as he does not encounter a middle-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator or above, there should be no problem.

“But… I can’t go back now. The Teleportation Array just opened a while ago. I can only wait another twenty days.”

“During this time, 1 need to think about how to increase my combat power.”

With these thoughts in mind, Wang Ba began to plot secretly.

For a normal Cultivator, twenty days would pass in a blink of an eye with hardly any major changes.

But Wang Ba was different, at least if he were to practice ordinary spells, he would be much faster.

Considering this, he pondered for a while, then proceeded to put Jia 15, who had slimmed down quite a bit, and the Wu Monkey King away.

Jia 16 needed to incubate the egg and couldn’t leave.

But having Wu Monkey King and Jia 15 was enough, after all, he thought his trip should be safe.

Soon, he flew out of The Three Danger Lands on his flying Magic Tool, and headed south towards Xuli Sect in Yan State.

Of course, he wasn’t going to the Xuli Sect, but the market below the Sect.

After about half a day of flying.

He saw a circular pagoda-shaped high platform.

There were few people on the platform with cultivators occasionally landing and taking off.

The buildings on it were neatly arranged.

Wang Ba landed in front of the market.

Perhaps sensing the Foundation Establishment aura emanating from Wang Ba, a cultivator immediately flew out from the market and stopped in front of him.

The man was robust, openly emitting middle-stage Foundation Establishment mana fluctuations. He gave a slight nod to Wang Ba, saying in an indifferent manner:

“Greetings, friend. My name is Bao An, I am the Chief of the Xuli Market. Wang Ba halted, and, without being rash, courteously replied: “My name is Shen Fu, a mere Rogue Cultivator. I usually dwell near Canglan City, and I came here to purchase some resources.” VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

In a few words, he voluntarily revealed his background and purpose.

Bao An might not necessarily believe it, but upon hearing this, he replied with a smile:

“I see, you seem new here, friend. This must be your first time, isn’t it? Why not let me guide you?”

Wang Ba paused slightly, then unexpectedly laughed: “In that case, I appreciate your help!”

The other party’s meaning was clear: he was welcome to enter the market, but Bao An must accompany him.

Although not too keen, Wang Ba could not find a more suitable place all of a sudden.

Other ghost markets were either not open at the moment or too low grade. Only the Xuli Market, although aimed at Qi Cultivators, reputedly sold Class II treasures.

The two of them landed in the market.

“May I ask what you are looking for, my friend? Oh, don’t take it the wrong way, I just wanted to help you find it more quickly…”

Bao An chirped away, seemingly nonchalantly.

Though tired of his manipulative ways, Wang Ba had no choice but to play along since he was in the infamous Xuli Market, “Nothing special, I’m just seeking some cultivation methods and Class II Spell rubbings to verify what I have learned.”

“Rubbings?”

Hearing Wang Ba’s answer, Bao An was somewhat surprised.

But then he realized that this Shen Fu, was probably more interested in Jade Slips or other resources, but was concerned about being ripped off, so he deliberately said so.

This was a common thought among many cultivators coming to the Xuli Market for the first time..
