Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

For Wang Ba, this has almost become second nature to him now.

Bu Chan also stopped practicing spells and packed up his spirit field.

After making sure there were no oversights, Wang Ba opened the door.

Standing at the door was a scholar-like Cultivator with an emaciated but robust figure, and a burly man with a rough appearance.

Upon seeing Wang Ba, both of them revealed friendly smiles.

The scholar laughed and said:

“My name is Yuan Wenzhi. You must be Shen, right? You really are remarkable… Old Kang praised you quite a bit in front of us!”

“Yes, yes.”

The burly man, Zhang Tailai, seemed somewhat simple-minded and nodded in agreement.

“Master Kang is really too modest.”

Wang Ba wouldn’t dare slight or neglect the two of them in the slightest.

Joking aside, both of these men are True Golden Core cultivators who can’t be underestimated.

As he was laughing, he extended his hand:

“Esteemed cultivators, please come in.”

Without refusing, they followed Wang Ba into the mansion.

‘Bang’.

The front door closed immediately.

The three sect cultivators who had been guarding the door had varying expressions on their faces.

Soon, several Sound Transmission Talismans flew over the sky of Yong’an City.

…

“Shen, it must be hard for you to live here! You’re under surveillance day and night by the sect cultivators. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to stand it.”

Once they had entered, Yuan Wenzhi couldn’t withhold his sigh.

Zhang Tailai had a fierce expression on his face:

“Sect cultivators, not a single one of them is good! If it weren’t for them, we Rogue Cultivators wouldn’t be having such a hard time!”

Listening to their undisguised scorn for the three major sects, Wang Ba, who clearly knew that the three sect cultivators outside couldn’t hear them, still felt a chill run down his spine.

It seemed as though he was the one being monitored, but these two were more anxious than him.

Wang Ba quickly changed the subject.

“Esteemed cultivators, have some tea first, haha.”

Walking into the quiet room, Bu Chan brought up the tea.

As usual, Wang Ba first chatted with Yuan Wenzhi, while Zhang Tailai, who didn’t seem to care too much, had no regard for tea-drinking etiquette and just gulped down the recently poured tea.

He showed none of the restraint and dignity a Golden Core cultivator should have.

But Wang Ba found this rather appealing.

However, while it’s fine being friends with such a person, it’s quite unnerving to entrust them with tasks.

That’s why Wang Ba’s conversation was mainly centered around Yuan Wenzhi.

After chatting for a while, the two of them finally got down to business.

“Shen, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you with the White Dragon Sulfur.”

In the quiet room, the aroma of tea was rising.

The scholar Yuan Wenzhi set down his cup of tea and said helplessly:

“You either go to Chu, or you can only get it from Huifeng Valley.”

“More than a decade ago, Wei State had a mine that could produce White Dragon Sulfur, but it was destroyed by the rampaging Incense Fire Dao from the Kingdom of Immortals. By now, it’s probably all gone.”

“In the past, Zhenling Palace usually had reserves, but given the current situation, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to see a Golden Core cultivator from Zhenling Palace.”

Yuan Wenzhi spoke bluntly.

Zhang Tailai, the burly man, kept silent and focused on drinking his tea.

He drained the cup in the blink of an eye.

While replenishing Zhang Tailai’s cup, Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask: “Esteemed cultivators, are there any other options?”

“It’s not that there aren’t any.”

Yuan Wenzhi thought for a moment, then suddenly said: “Have you been to Stage III of the Linglong Ghost Market? You might find some there.”

“The Ghost Market Stage III?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba shook his head in disappointment.

He definitely didn’t have access to Stage III of the Ghost Market. He had previously asked Shang Li about it, but his list was short one Emerald Feather Bone and one White Dragon Sulfur.

Seeing this, Yuan Wenzhi was left with no choice but to frown:

“It’s rather dangerous for a rogue cultivator from our small country to go to Chu.”

“In that case, we might be making a trip in vain. See if there’s anything else we can assist with, Shen.”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t hide his disappointment.

It’s quite rare to get two Golden Core cultivators to help collect spirit materials.

They wouldn’t have put so much effort into this if it wasn’t for Master Kang. After all, these two hadn’t specifically come to find him before.

But then he suddenly thought of something. He quickly dipped a brush in tea and wrote a string of text on the table.

Then, with anticipation, he looked at Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai:

“Esteemed cultivators, can you find these items?”

Among them, part was the spirit materials he would need for future Core Formation, and part was what the Wu Monkey King needed for the Bloodline Breakthrough.

Truth be told, Wang Ba was more hopeful that the Wu Monkey King would become the first Spirit Beast under his hand to reach Class III.

Firstly, because the Wu Monkey King was always at the forefront of battles and dared to fight, its combat power far exceeded that of the Phantom Chicken of the same stage.

Once it advanced, it would provide substantial help to Wang Ba.

Secondly, the Wu Monkey King was loyal to Wang Ba, which was more reassuring than the Phantom Chicken with Jia 15, who was highly unpredictable.

However, due to Wang Ba’s limited knowledge of Class III Spirit Beasts and Class III spirit materials, he wasn’t very confident about bringing the Wu Monkey King successfully to Class III.

And Wang Ba’s understanding of Spirit Chickens was the deepest, hence, he had more confidence in upgrading Jia 15.

That’s why he hadn’t collected the materials for the Wu Monkey King’s Bloodline Breakthrough previously.

However, the situation has changed now. He’s been unable to acquire the White Dragon Sulfur for a long time. If this drags on for a few decades, maybe Jia 15 would be able to grind to the Golden Core on its own.
