Chapter 189: Chapter 20: Temptation_2

I

Being the guardian of the passage, Song Buping was, of course, entirely aware of these matters.

Wang Ba pondered and directly rejected the suggestion of going to the Xuli Sect.

“Going to the Xuli Sect is ruled out, but, by the way, do you know about the Canglan Ghost Market’?”

The Canglan Ghost Market is a small ghost market secretly supported by Song Buping, with only about a dozen people trading.

It’s quite similar to the Jinhe Ghost Market we encountered previously.

Wang Ba came up with the thought of Song Buping because of the Xuli Sect, which indirectly reminded him of the Market Entering Order for the Canglan Ghost Market that the other party had given him.

He considered going to that market to take a look.

Perhaps there might be something to gain.

Zhu Jianyi, hearing these words, was immediately surprised, “The Canglan Ghost Market? How did you come to know about it?”

Seeing Wang Ba’s cold expression, he hurriedly explained in a panic, “What I meant was, the Canglan Ghost Market is quite far from us, and very few people know about it. 1 only inadvertently learned about it when I was trying to disperse the Child Insects for my master. So I was a little surprised that you knew about it.”

He then introduced, “This Canglan Ghost Market is located in Canglan City, upstream to the north of our Jinhe City. If you follow the Jinlan River straight north, you’ll reach it. It’s very close to the border between Yan State and Song State.”

“There is also a large ghost market nearby that might open soon. However, there are always foreign cultivators coming in and out, so the market is full of different sorts. Therefore, it is not too safe.”

“Let’s go there!”

Wang Ba decided directly.

“Going there?”

Zhu Jianyi was taken aback.

“What? Is there a problem?”

Wang Ba glanced at him.

Zhu Jianyi immediately lowered his head in panic, “No, no, I can lead the way for you. It’s just that I’m not too familiar with the place…”

“No need, 1 have an entrance permit for the Canglan Ghost Market.”

Wang Ba waved his hand.

Hearing Wang Ba’s words, a hint of unwillingness rose in Zhu Jianyi’s eyes.

However, he hid it very quickly.

The two of them rested on the spot for a while.

Mainly sitting in meditation to restore Mana.

At this time, Wang Ba entered the house again, and shortly after, a heart-wrenching scream came out.

Zhu Jianyi gritted his teeth, and finally left four words in the place where he was meditating, with extreme caution:

Canglan Ghost Market.

As he raised his head, he was startled to see Wang Ba’s face filled with a smirk, silently standing in front of him, watching him!

What horrified him was that the low-class cultivator’s scream inside the house still continued!

“Illusion? When did it happen?”

At this moment, Zhu Jianyi suddenly understood!

His face turned pale, and he lowered his head to see that the words he left, which should be written on the ground where he was sitting, were now surprisingly on the corner of his robe.

At this moment, his heart filled with fear and confusion: “When exactly did he find out?!”

However, his doubts and confusion were never answered.

All he saw was a palm slap coming towards him, and then…

Nothing happened.

He looked up at Wang Ba with a bewildered look.

Was he supposed to live or die?

But soon, Zhu Jianyi noticed something wrong.

His body seemed to surge with a strange power.

This power was like the creation of heaven and earth, which naturally made him begin to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Energy.

However, what was strange was that the absorption of Spiritual Energy was not taking place in the Dantian, but in the flesh.

“Wait… this feeling… it’s like when my master was striking the Foundation Establishment…”

Zhu Jianyi’s body trembled!

He was shocked, happy, and panicked!

Could it be that he was about to establish his foundation?!

But, he hadn’t gotten a hold of the Foundation Establishment Pill yet…

Compared to the low-class cultivator previously who was fully immersed in the illusion of surging power, Zhu Jianyi, who was at Qi Refining Stage VIII, was undoubtedly more experienced and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The growth of his physical body was too rapid.

Compared to his body, the Mana in his Dantian, which originally held an absolute advantage, gradually started to lag behind.

Under such conditions, the two began to rapidly shift towards imbalance.

Zhu Jianyi immediately wanted to prevent his body from growing stronger, but the surrounding Spiritual Energy swarmed towards him more crazily!

What made him more desperate was that Wang Ba, without any hesitation, took out a large amount of frozen items and stuffed them into his mouth.

As soon as these items entered his mouth, they were quickly absorbed by his body.

The Mana Whirl inside his Dantian quickly snatched a lot of Spiritual Energy, and the situation instantly improved.

Just as Zhu Jianyi couldn’t help but feel relieved, and even slightly grateful to Wang Ba…

He was horrified to see Wang Ba take out a large number of Spirit Stones and set up the flag of the Spirit Attracting Array.

In an instant, the surrounding Spiritual Energy swarmed towards him even more crazily!

Under such an abundant supply of Spiritual Energy, his body power rapidly increased!

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Jianyi felt as if his body was out of control, a force that was difficult to suppress was erupting from within…

Crack!

Suddenly, cracks formed on his face.

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

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

“Save…me! Save me!”

Then-

Boom!

Once the dust settled, Wang Ba returned to the explosion area.

Compared to the last time, perhaps because Zhu Jianyi’s realm was much higher, the explosion was more astonishing, and almost no remains could be seen anymore.

However, this time, Wang Ba’s gains far exceeded the last.

“It’s almost as 1 speculated. There seems to be a surplus of Lifespan. His Lifespan has decreased… However, there’s been a breakout of his physical body.”

“Perhaps it’s because his Qi Refining Stage couldn’t keep up, his body directly lost control, causing Mana chaos, and leading to the explosion.”

“According to this theory, by providing Lifespan to a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining Stage X, it might help reach the Foundation Establishment. However, this point still needs to be confirmed.”

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Wang Ba glanced at the few traces that Zhu Jianyi left behind. Remembering the confusion in the latter’s eyes before his death, he shook his head slightly.

Perhaps Zhu Jianyi would never have thought that back at the Linglong Ghost Market, Wang Ba had already sensed something wrong.

He was just a bit uncertain at that time.

Upon their return, he immediately performed a Soul Search on the low-class cultivator that he had let live. He quickly found out that Master Gao, who was in Jinhe City along with Master Lin, was actually a bald cultivator.

Not the slightly chubby old man that he and Zhu Jianyi had met.

At this point, Wang Ba already knew that Zhu Jianyi had betrayed him.

However, he went along and managed to uncover the location of the Canglan Ghost Market to balance his losses.

But he gave Zhu Jianyi one last chance.

He deliberately disclosed his intention of going to Canglan Ghost Market to gauge Zhu Jianyi’s reaction.

Primarily because Zhu Jianyi knew a lot about the Ghost Market, which was indeed a person Wang Ba needed at that time.

However, the result naturally disappointed him.

Wang Ba could only helplessly choose to squeeze out the last bit of Zhu Jianyi’s value for his Lifespan providing experiment.

“What a pity.”

Shaking his head again, Wang Ba set off on his journey north alone.

He passed by Li Sanwan.

Wang Ba didn’t plan on stopping.

But since Li Sanwan was a very small place, he saw Wu Hai below as he flew over Wu Hai’s house.

But he couldn’t help but utter a surprised “huh”.

“Wu Hai’s soul…”

“Why is it missing?”
