Longevity, Starting From Raising Chickens

Chapter 160 Testing

"Zhu Jianyi, why are you here?"

When they suddenly heard this voice, both Wang Ba and Zhu Jianyi were stunned for a moment.

However, compared to Zhu Jianyi's panic, Wang Ba was much calmer.

After all, he had encountered no matter how dangerous the situation was. Dangji immediately sent a message to Zhu Jianyi and asked him to adapt accordingly.

At the same time, remind the other person directly.

"Don't do anything stupid."

With Wang Ba's comfort and warning, Zhu Jianyi finally loosened his clenched fists after a fierce struggle in his heart.

He raised his head and greeted him with surprise and joy:

"Uncle Gao, are you here? Are you here to buy elixirs?"

The owner of that voice was a fat old man. His eyes flashed slightly when he heard the words, and then he nodded slightly: "Well, it happens that the elixir has been used up. Where is your master? Is he here too?"

"No, Master, he should still be in Jinhe City. He has just been released from seclusion. Is Uncle Gao going to find Master?"

Zhu Jianyi answered in an orderly manner.

After a few simple greetings, the fat old man looked at Wang Ba with doubts on his face: "This is..."

"This is a friend this junior made outside."

Zhu Jianyi replied quickly.

"oh."

The fat old man had no intention of coming over to get acquainted. He just looked past Zhu Jianyi and smiled and nodded slightly to Wang Ba as a greeting.

Wang Ba also nodded politely in response.

The two of them quickly said goodbye to the fat old man and stepped onto the teleportation array.

Watching the two people disappear in the teleportation array.

The slightly fat old man looked slightly gloomy.

"Uncle Gao? My surname is not Gao."

"This Zhu Jianyi clearly knows me, but he shouted like this on purpose. He was obviously reminding me to go to Jinhe City to find Lin Xiwen... It seems that something happened."

After thinking about it, he was not in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he wandered around the area on his own.

After some haggling, he bought some elixirs, and then Shi Shiran left the teleportation array.

Immediately, he flew towards Jinhe City unhurriedly.

Although he and Lin Xiwen were familiar with each other, their actual friendship was just that.

Besides, he's just a junior.

Don't be so concerned.

Maybe the master himself is not in a hurry.

Soon, a city appeared on the horizon.

…

Going back was far less troublesome than entering the ghost market.

When Wang Ba walked out of a teleportation array, he realized that he was at the bottom of a river.

Outside the water barrier, you can see fish swimming leisurely in the water.

The two quickly flew out of the water. Under the guidance of Zhu Jianyi, a local, they flew for more than an hour before returning to their previous footing.

Only then did Zhu Jianyi discover that under the tree hole, there was actually a low-level disciple who had followed him alive.

In Zhu Jianyi's somewhat nervous eyes.

Wang Ba directly took this low-level disciple to the tree hole.

After a scream that frightened Zhu Jianyi, Wang Ba walked out of the tree hole with a cold expression.

"S-Senior..."

Zhu Jianyi was frightened.

Wang Ba's face softened slightly and asked: "What other ghost markets are open recently?"

Seeing the comment, Zhu felt relieved and said quickly: "There is no one nearby for the time being. The second floor of Linglong Ghost Market will only be opened once every six months. It will be more than a month away now."

"The second floor of Linglong Ghost Market?"

Wang Ba looked puzzled.

"Yes, seniors should be able to see that behind this Linglong Ghost Market, there is the support of Gold Core Perfected Being, so the Linglong Ghost Market we went to today is actually only the first floor. Most of this floor is Qi Refining The monks and a small number of Foundation Building monks are here. On the second floor, there are basically all Foundation Building monks...but the juniors are only in the Qi Refining Realm and have never been there, but the seniors do have a chance."

Perhaps out of guilt, Zhu Jianyi quickly told everything he knew.

Wang Ba was thoughtful after hearing the words.

He found it strange that this exquisite ghost market was so mysterious and even supported by a teleportation array. Just to provide a place for Qi Refining monks to trade, it would be a waste of natural resources.

It turns out that there is something else going on in this exquisite ghost market.

It does live up to its name of ‘Linglong’.

After thinking about it, Wang Ba asked again: "What about the ghost market far away from this area?"

Zhu Jianyi frowned and thought for a while, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, if senior doesn't want to capture the Independent Cultivator ghost market, he can go to the "Xuli County" in the south, where the "Xuli Sect" has jurisdiction Although the price of the market is much higher than that of ordinary ghost markets, it has a full range of varieties and is very safe."

"Shuli Zong?"

Wang Ba pondered slightly when he heard the words.

He had heard Song Buping mention that this was one of the major sects in the Yan Kingdom, and there were several Gold Core Perfected Beings in the sect.

However, according to Song Buping's evaluation, Xuli Zong seems to be generous and willing to give the Independent Cultivators a way to survive.

In fact, it is no different from the Tianmen Sect's exploitation of the Qi Refining monks.

They all harvest underlying resources at high prices.

Many honest and timid Independent Cultivators did not dare to trade in the ghost market for fear of being outflanked by the big sects, so they willingly allowed themselves to be slaughtered.

When these Independent Cultivators became impoverished and could no longer provide any more value, they secretly sold these Independent Cultivators to the Tianmen Sect and became one of the sources of supplementary resources for the Left Dao monks.

However, in recent years, Xuli Zong also realized that his behavior was tantamount to raising tigers, so he terminated the transaction with Tianmen Sect.

But in fact, some senior leaders of the Xuli Sect are still carrying out such operations secretly for the sake of personal interests.

Song Buping, who is the guard of the passage, naturally knows these things clearly.

Wang Ba thought for a while and directly rejected the suggestion of going to Xuli Zong.

"You can't go to Xuli Sect. By the way, do you know the 'Canglan Ghost Market'?"

Canglan Ghost Market is a small ghost market secretly supported by Song Buping. The number of traders is only about a dozen.

It’s pretty much the same as the previous Jinhe Ghost Market.

Wang Ba also thought of Song Buping just now because he had to leave the sect, and indirectly thought of the Canglan Ghost Market entry order given to him by the other party.

I was thinking about going to the market over there to have a look.

Maybe something can be gained.

Zhu Jianyi was immediately surprised when he heard this: "Canglan Ghost Market? Where did the senior know about it?"

Seeing the cold look on Wang Ba's face, he hurriedly explained: "What this junior means is that this Canglan Ghost Market is not close to us, and very few people know about it. This junior also did this because he wanted to spread worms to Master before. I just learned about it by accident, so I was a little surprised that the seniors also knew about it."

Then he introduced: "This Canglan Ghost Market is located in Canglan City, just upstream to the north of our Jinhe City. Just walk north along the Jinlan River and it is very close to the border between Yan State and Song State."

"There is also a large ghost market nearby, which may be opened in the near future. However, there are often foreign monks coming in and out, and it is not very safe."

"Just go there!"

Wang Ba said directly.

"go there?"

Zhu Jianyi was stunned when he heard this.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Wang Bayi glanced at him.

Zhu Jianyi immediately lowered his head in panic: "No, no, I will show you the way, but I'm not familiar with it there..."

"It doesn't matter, I have an entry order for Canglan Ghost Market."

Wang Ba waved his hand.

Hearing Wang Ba's words, Zhu Jianyi's eyes suddenly felt a trace of unwillingness.

But it was quickly hidden by him.

The two rested on the spot for a while.

Mainly meditating to restore mana.

At this time, Wang Ba entered the room again, and soon there was another heartbreaking howl.

Zhu Jianyi gritted his teeth, and finally very carefully left four words below where he sat cross-legged:

Canglan Ghost Market.

When he raised his head, he suddenly saw Wang Ba's half-smiling eyes, standing quietly in front of him, looking at him!

What shocked him was that the low-level monk's miserable howling still continued in the room!

"Illusion?! When is it?"

At this moment, Zhu Jianyi suddenly woke up!

He then lowered his head with a pale face and saw that he had obviously left writing on the ground where he was sitting cross-legged, but when he looked again, these four words were written on the corner of his clothes.

At this moment, his heart was filled with panic and confusion: "After all, when did you find out?!"

However, his doubts and confusion could not be explained.

He only saw a palm slapping him, and then...

Nothing happened.

He looked up blankly at Wang Ba.

His eyes were full of confusion.

Are you going to let him live or die?

But soon, Zhu Jianyi noticed something unusual.

A strange power seemed to surge through his body.

This power, as if it was created by heaven and earth, made him naturally begin to absorb the spiritual energy around him.

However, the strange thing is that the spiritual energy is absorbed not from the Dantian, but from the physical body.

"Wait...this feeling...is like when Master stormed the Foundation Building..."

Zhu was trembling when he saw it!

Surprised, happy and panicked at the same time!

Could it be that he wants to Foundation Building? !

However, he hasn't gotten the Foundation Building Pill yet...

Compared with the previous low-level monk who was completely immersed in the illusion of a surge in power, Zhu Jianyi, who was on the eighth level of Qi Refining, was undoubtedly much more experienced, and he immediately noticed something was wrong.

The physical body grows too fast.

Compared with the physical body, Dantian's magical power, which originally had an absolute advantage, gradually began to lag behind.

Under such circumstances, the two suddenly and rapidly developed in an imbalanced direction.

Zhu Jianyi immediately wanted to stop his physical body from continuing to grow, but the spiritual energy around him surged toward him more and more crazily!

What made him even more desperate was that Wang Ba took out a large amount of jelly without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth.

These things are quickly absorbed by the body as soon as they enter the mouth.

The mana cyclone in Dantian took the opportunity to snatch a lot of spiritual energy, and the situation immediately improved.

Just when Zhu Jianyi couldn't help but feel the aftermath of the disaster, he even felt a little grateful to Wang Ba.

He watched in horror as the other party took out a large number of spirit stones and at the same time laid out the Spirit Gathering formation flag.

In an instant, the spiritual energy around him surged even more crazily!

The physical body is nourished by such abundant spiritual energy, and its aura rises rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jianyi felt as if his physical body was out of control, and an irresistible force came from the inside out...

Click!

Cracks quickly appeared on his face.

Wang Ba, who had anticipated this situation, retreated quickly.

Zhu Jianyi stretched out his palm in horror, with despair and regret in his eyes.

"Save... me! Save me!"

Then...

Bang!

After the dust settled, Wang Ba returned to the explosion site.

Compared with the last time, perhaps because Zhu Jianyi's level was much higher and the power of the explosion was even more amazing, there were almost no blood clots around the stumps.

But this time, Wang Ba's gains far exceeded the last time.

"It's almost as I guessed. The deposit of life span actually caused a loss of life span. His life span was reduced... However, a physical breakthrough also occurred."

"It's just that perhaps because his Qi Refining Realm failed to keep up, his physical body lost control directly, causing mana chaos and causing an explosion."

"According to this conjecture, if you deposit longevity yuan into a monk who has completed the tenth level of Qi Refining, it may be possible to help the other person's Foundation Building. However, this has yet to be verified."

After quickly sorting out what he had learned in his mind, Wang Ba glanced at the few traces of Zhu Jianyi left on the spot, recalling the confusion in the other person's eyes before he died, and shook his head slightly.

Perhaps Zhu Jianyi would never have imagined that he had actually noticed something was wrong when he was in the Linglong ghost market before.

But he was still a little unsure at the time.

After returning, he immediately searched for the souls of the low-level monks who had been left alive before, and soon found out that Gao Zhenxiu, who was in Jinhe City with Lin Zhenxiu, was actually a bald monk.

It wasn't the fat old man he and Zhu Jian met.

At this time, Wang Ba already knew that Zhu Jianyi had turned his back on him.

However, he still took the position of Canglan Ghost City smoothly, which can be regarded as making up for the loss.

But he still gave the other party one last chance.

He intentionally told his decision to go to Canglan Ghost City to see his reaction.

The main reason is that Zhu Jianyi is very familiar with the ghost market in his mind, and he is indeed a talent that he desperately needs at the moment.

However, the result was naturally disappointing to him.

Wang Ba had no choice but to choose to squeeze out his last bit of value, which was the material used for the experiment of depositing longevity.

"Pity."

Shaking his head again, Wang Ba immediately embarked on the road to the north alone.

Pass by Li Sanwan.

Wang Ba has no intention of stopping.

It's just that Li Sanwan was very small. He flew over Wu Hai's house, but he still saw Wu Hai below.

But then he couldn't help but say "Huh".

"Wu Hai's soul..."

"Why is it missing?"
