Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 220: Chapter 36 Yansheng Technique_i

The second floor of the Linglong Ghost Market was packed with bustling crowds.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators were frequently bending down among the somewhat crammed stalls to quietly inquire.

Thanks to the concentrated crowd, it didn’t take long for a somewhat decent­looking female cultivator to show curiosity at Wang Ba’s stall.

“These are spirit foods, all made from lower-grade, class I spirit chickens. Their effects are comparable to elixirs but without the poison…”

Upon hearing Wang Ba’s explanation, the female cultivator’s eyes immediately lit up. “I have never heard of this. Can I try it?”

Wang Ba hesitated a moment but didn’t refuse.

The majority of the rogue cultivators had never encountered this type of spirit food before. The most they’d tried were spirit rice and spirit wine.

So, it was normal that they didn’t know about them.

The female cultivator took a small sip and promptly nodded with astonishment. “It’s true! Although its efficacy isn’t as strong as an elixir’s, it is much easier to refine. As long as the quantity is sufficient, it can indeed compete with an elixir!”

“How many spirit stones for this pot of chicken essence?”

Wang Ba hesitated, then stated a price he found reasonable:

“This pot costs forty middle-grade spirit stones.”

In reality, back on the first floor of Linglong Ghost Market, he sold them for almost thirty spirit stones per pot.

However, he thought that Foundation Establishment cultivators were likely to be more well-off, so they should be able to accept slightly higher prices.

As expected, after hearing the price, the female cultivator didn’t haggle. After briefly weighing it up, she concisely pulled out forty middle-grade spirit stones and handed them to Wang Ba.

Soon, someone else noticed the chicken essence and asked for its price.

“The price is too high. An Earth Yuan pill costs only ten middle-grade spirit stones, and this pot is at most worth three such pills.”

The customer was bargaining with him, but Wang Ba didn’t budge at all.

“Hmpf, just let your junk rot on display!”

The customer scoffed and left.

Wang Ba didn’t really care. It was always a matter of a willing buyer and a willing seller in trading. He couldn’t force anyone to buy his stuff.

Moreover, he only refined ten pots in total.

He didn’t believe he couldn’t sell them all.

As people came and went, it didn’t take long for Wang Ba to sell two more pots.

After thinking for a bit, he put all the useless magic tools, talismans, elixirs and a heap of useless junk from his storage bag onto his stall, which attracted quite a number of people.

After all, for most cultivators, those three items were the most common needs.

Perhaps because the prices that Wang Ba gave were not high, the junk was soon sold out. His storage bag was loaded with more than three hundred middle- graded spirit stones.

The hammer-shaped magic tool of middle-grade class II he had obtained from Master Gao had contributed a lot.

What displeased Wang Ba, however, was that there was still no news about the stuff he truly needed.

For some unknown reason, the crowd began to thin.

This puzzled Wang Ba – wasn’t the second layer of the Ghost Market supposed to last half a month? Why were there fewer people already?

The one-eyed middle-aged cultivator, who had been busy at the stall next to him earlier, finally got a break. He sat down, rested for a bit, and then began to chat with Wang Ba in a quite familiar way.

On hearing Wang Ba’s confusion, the one-eyed middle-aged cultivator laughed:

“It seems the friend is coming here for the first time, so you don’t know about it. On the second floor of the Ghost Market, there is a Golden Core master who delivers a daily spiritual lecture within the marketplace. All you have to do is pay some spirit stones and you can enter to listen. The crowd probably dwindled because a Golden Core master is delivering a lecture now. After the master finishes the lecture, the crowd will naturally increase again.”

“I see! Thank you for answering my question.”

Wang Ba repeatedly bowed, feeling very surprised in his heart.

He did not expect that such a thing would be organized in the Ghost Market. Although it costs spirit stones, it’s more like a sect than some sects themselves.

In any case, when he was in the Tianmen Cult, he had never heard of any Golden Core master delivering lectures.

Of course, perhaps some did, just they were not open to heresy cultivators.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but itch a little bit.

Since becoming a cultivator, he had figured out everything mostly by himself. The only one who’d ever guided him in cultivation was Zhao Feng.

He had never heard a Golden Core master give a lecture before.

He immediately packed up his stall, told his neighbor, and followed the direction indicated by him.

Soon, he saw a large courtyard crammed with people and a Golden Core master seated above all, delivering his eloquent lecture.

However, Wang Ba couldn’t hear a word of it.

“What is he talking about in there?”

Out of curiosity, Wang Ba pulled over a cultivator beside him and asked.

“That’s ‘Master Yuji’ inside, he entered the Golden Core Realm in just one hundred and twenty years. Naturally, what he’s talking about is how to cultivate quickly and break through bottlenecks.”

The other person seemed quite familiar with this.

Wang Ba, hearing this, was struck with a thought. Breaking into the Golden Core Realm in one hundred and twenty years among the rogue cultivators was indeed amazing.

Upon calculation, it was apparent that Master Yuji barely stayed long in front of bottlenecks and smoothly reached the Golden Core realm.

This was simply unimaginable for rogue cultivators.

And he was immediately curious.

However, Wang Ba still cautiously probed: “Fellow daoist, why don’t you go inside?”

“Hehe.”

The other person only chuckled and didn’t explain.

Seeing that probing did no good, Wang Ba went to the courtyard entrance, spent only one middle-grade spirit stone, and smoothly entered the formation. But after listening for a while, Wang Ba regretted it.

And he understood why the person didn’t go in just now.

The reason was that the cultivation method being promoted by Master Yuji was to have cultivators consume as many powerful, though highly poisonous, elixirs as possible. He even suggested taking multiple kinds, seeking their mutual balance, and using a toxin to fight another toxin.
