Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

“Hold on… why doesn’t this insect have a soul aura?”

Wang Ba’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

Even though his spiritual sense had swept over it and he could clearly see the existence of the insect, he could not detect any trace of a soul aura from it.

It was known that every living creature had a soul.

However, the soul aura of ordinary creatures was too weak to manifest itself.

But as long as they were alive, their soul would also be present.

This insect, even though its body was still showing signs of life, did not possess a trace of a soul aura. It was as if it was a dead puppet whose soul had been obliterated.

Wang Ba was suddenly intrigued.

Yet the cultivators around him were even more ‘knowledgeable’, and they all started to become excited.

“It turns out to be the ‘Red Yuan Pill’ that can enhance one’s mana!”

“I wonder what price Brother Zhu wants for it?”

Zhu Jianyi looked around and seemed a bit hesitant.

“Everyone, my master has provided me with twenty of these Red Yuan Pills. However, besides us few, there are also twenty-two other people in this cave. If everyone wants them, even one pill per person undoubtedly isn’t enough, and it would also be unfair to the remaining two…”

“Brother Zhu, why don’t you just auction it off? The highest bidder gets it, it couldn’t be any more fair!”

A cultivator instantly suggested.

Some cultivators who had Spirit Stones immediately agreed.

However, most of the cultivators inevitably gritted their teeth.

They were all Rogue Cultivators. Their inherited cultivation methods weren’t necessarily complete, let alone any skills.

They were all exceedingly poor.

On an ordinary day, they either relied on robbing weaker rogue cultivators or painstakingly accumulated their cultivation base in the mortal realm. They didn’t have any spirit stones to buy valuable elixirs like the Red Yuan Pill.

Seeing this, they were all feeling helpless.

However, at this moment, Zhu Jianyi graciously said:

“Please don’t ever bring up the auction idea again!”

“My master ordered me to offer his compassion to everyone. If I make it into an auction, wouldn’t that be treating my master’s words as a child’s play?”

“Even though I am not talented and do not possess my master’s profound wisdom, 1 am willing to lend a helping hand!”

“I still have some Red Yuan Pills given by my master for cultivation, I will take out two… eh, gentlemen, please don’t think I am stingy. I am also in need of them.”

Hearing Zhu Jianyi’s somewhat self-deprecating words, not only did the cultivators not sneer, they admired him even more.

“Brother Zhu is truly generous!”

“I was right all along! Brother Zhu, you really are a rare and generous gentleman!”

Underneath, the compliments of the cultivators were never-ending.

“One pill per person, each pill will only be sold for two pieces of spirit stones… everyone, if you intend to transfer this pill to someone who already has one, please don’t blame me for turning against you. After all, this concerns my master’s vow. Please understand.”

Zhu Jianyi commented again.

Hearing this, those who had planned such a thing in their hearts instantly gave up their ideas.

After all, who would dare to offend Zhu Jianyi? The person who has a Foundation Establishment Master supporting him, a veritable big shot in Jinhe City.

Soon.

Except for a few cultivators who really couldn’t afford spirit stones, almost everyone got a Red Yuan Pill.

Both Wang Ba and Wu Hai got one each.

Suppressing the urge to smash the pill and research the plump white insect inside it, Wang Ba patiently waited a little longer.

Afterwards, Zhu Jianyi indeed took out some treasures, but these things were not tampered with, and the price was not cheap.

The cultivators weren’t foolish either, after making a killing on a Red Yuan Pill, most people started excusing themselves, seemingly eager to return and refine the pill.

Wu Hai wanted to chat with Zhu Jianyi, but before he could open his mouth, Zhu Jianyi smiled at him and left directly.

Wang Ba and Wu Hai spoke a few brief words, then quickly followed him.

Having stepped on a lower-grade class 1 flight magic tool, Zhu Jianyi sensed Wang Ba following him. Although he was puzzled, considering they were not far from the Ghost Market, he needed to maintain his image. He promptly turned around with a hearty smile and greeted:

“This fellow Dao…”

A faint red flickered and disappeared in Zhu Jianyi’s eyes.

After a brief struggle, he spoke words that surprised the few low-class cultivators behind him.

“Junior brother, why are you here?”

Junior Brother?

Looking at each other in confusion, the low-class cultivators behind Zhu Jianyi recognized Wang Ba as he was also in the cave earlier.

However, they had no idea when Master Lin had accepted a new disciple.

Considering their low status, they assumed that Master Lin had taken a new disciple in secret and had not yet announced it publicly. Only Zhu Jianyi, being his So, they dutifully saluted Wang Ba.

Having expended significantly more Power of the Yin God than Wu Hai, Wang Ba appeared composed, a slight hint of nervousness in his heart.

After all, once you get used to deceiving people, there is less of a psychological burden. He casually waved at the low-class disciples around him.

None of the people present felt something was amiss.

Zhu Jianyi, on the other hand, frowned slightly: “Did MASTER SEND you here because he doesn’t trust me?”

Looking at the passing cultivators greeting him, he returned their smiles before quickly bidding his companions goodbye.

Once certain no one was around, Zhu Jianyi spoke to Wang Ba: “Junior brother, you can tell master that in these past few days, I’ve planted several ‘child insects’ around various markets. It won’t delay master’s cultivation.”

There’s a catch indeed!

Although not surprised, Wang Ba was not particularly interested either.

However, his term ‘child insect’ aroused a few suspicions in his mind.

But he did not dare to delay. Because Zhu Jianyi’s soul strength was at a level where Wang Ba’s influence on him was far below that on Wu Hai. Who knew when he would break free from the influence of the Dream Creation? Wang Ba quickly sent the low-class disciples around him away and started a private conversation with Zhu Jianyi.

Under the influence of Dream Creation, he soon got information about several ghost markets in the vicinity where Class II treasures appeared. He also learned that Zhu Jianyi was carrying a few Market Entering Orders for these ghost markets.

However, when he asked about the ‘child insect’, a hint of struggle appeared on Zhu Jianyi’s face.

“The ‘child insects’ are naturally the offspring of the Class II ‘Yin Devouring Insect’ that our master possess. They, they… No, that’s not right. You are a disciple of the master, how can you not know about the Yin Devouring Insect… Who are you?”

Zhu Jianyi’s eyes instantly cleared up. He abruptly sensed something was wrong and launched a full-powered spell attack.

“Who dares to attack me, are you not aware that my master is the number one real cultivator in Jinhe City! It’s absolutely suicidal!”

But the next moment, Zhu Jianyi froze.

He stared blankly at his pride and joy, the first-class attack spell ‘Soul Grabbing Hand’, which had always been invincible around Jinhe City once it was mastered. It abruptly froze in mid-air before an overwhelmingly powerful mana chopped up his spell like it was nothing!

Feeling the aura from Wang Ba, that familiar oppressive feeling.

Zhu Jianyi’s calm demeanor instantly froze over, replaced by a flicker of shock and fear:

“You, are you….in the foundation establishment stage?!”
