Chapter 197: Chapter 24: Buying Spree_2

|

“May I ask what the price of this magic tool is?”

Wang Ba pointed to a robe on the stall and asked.

The stall owner, a female cultivator whose age was indiscernible, was discussing prices with a Qi refining cultivator. Sensing the Foundation Establishment aura on Wang Ba, she quickly wrapped up the price discussion, swiftly switching to a smile:

“Good judgement, fellow Taoist. This robe offers top-notch defense among Class II middle grade items. It’s the best item I have here and is very reasonably priced, costing only 130 middle grade spirit stones.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba pondered slightly.

The price was indeed reasonable.

If it were in Chen State, it would probably be twenty to thirty middle grade spirit stones more expensive.

Of course, it could also be due to the fact that there was no cost involved in the transaction, so it was natural for the price to be slightly lower.

Wang Ba didn’t have many spirit stones on him, having spent almost all of them in previous markets. However, in his storage bag, he still had plenty of chicken essence and spirit turtle essence. He took some out and negotiated with the female cultivator.

After sensing the effectiveness of the chicken essence, her eyes lit up instantly.

She quickly traded the Class II middle grade robe for four pots of chicken essence.

“This spirit food of yours is extraordinary. I have consumed some in the past, but theirs were not as pure, mixed with many spirit materials. Although the spiritual energy derived was not inferior, the vitality, Qi and blood they contained were greatly inferior.”

The female cultivator sincerely acknowledged.

Wang Ba was not surprised when he heard this.

His chicken essence was produced using a large number of spirit chickens as raw materials. After adding spirit materials during processing, it was extremely pure.

However, most of those who produce spirit food on the market couldn’t possibly mass produce a large number of spirit chickens like Wang Ba.

To ensure yield, they would naturally add other cultivator-friendly materials that also provide spiritual energy.

However, either in terms of the speed of refinement and absorption, or the aura, Qi and blood essence they contained, the quality would be vastly different.

Even the East Saint Sect, which used to breed many spirit chickens, would find

it challenging to accomplish this.

After all, the ‘Extreme Blood Pill’ used for purifying the bloodline of Precious Chickens was rare. On the other hand, relying solely on the pathetic reproduction rate of spirit chickens was simply unreliable.

It was already commendable that the East Saint Sect had bred so many spirit chickens over the years with disciplined cultivation methods.

Therefore, for most people, spirit food is ultimately a supplementary resource for cultivation. The main resources for cultivation are still elixirs and various spiritual medicines.

After exchanging Sound Transmission Talismans with the female cultivator, Wang Ba kept the Class II middle grade robe and immediately started the initial refinement process.

Next, he visited each and every stall one by one.

“Hurry! There’s someone selling Foundation Establishment Pills over there!

“What?! Someone’s selling them? What’s the price?”

“Let’s hurry up and take a look. I heard that it’s not just Foundation Establishment Pills, but also other Class II elixirs!”

The crowd suddenly became agitated. Many Qi Refining stage cultivators rushed in one direction.

Wang Ba also took a look. As he heard the stall owner explaining the effects of each elixir, he gained a lot of knowledge.

Only then did he realize that although most elixirs did have toxic effects, there were some niche factions that specialized in producing elixirs without such toxic effects.

However, the efficacy of these elixirs was indeed hard to compare with conventional ones. Therefore, for Rogue Cultivators who had very limited resources, scarcely anyone would buy them.

Wang Ba was not very interested either. Except for some elixirs with special effects, those intended for cultivation, although better than chicken essence, were only more effective to a limited extent.

The key point was that elixirs were expensive, while the production cost of chicken essence was much lower.

Therefore, Wang Ba naturally prioritized chicken essence.

After looking around for a while, Wang Ba left the crowded stall and started to check out the others.

When he saw stalls selling spells, cultivation methods, and all sorts of curious objects, he would always take a look.

He also collected some interesting things, such as Class II spirit plant seeds.

There were also many commonly practical spells.

These spells would not consume his mana. Even the attack spells were unlikely to surpass the power of Class II powerful spells like the Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics.

However, they could be useful during cultivation and help to enrich his foundation.

Since it could be quickly mastered with his lifespan, he naturally would not miss them.

Unfortunately, he had yet to find a suitable cultivation method.

However, while purchasing spells, he unexpectedly found an Illustrated Guide of Mountain Moving Apes among a pile of miscellaneous books he had bought.

When he curiously flipped through it, he was instantly delighted.

This was a memoir written by a beast control cultivator, mainly recording some traits of the Mountain Moving Ape species and experience gained while breeding them.

For instance, among Mountain Moving Apes, there was a type of ape different from their irritable, common counterparts. These apes were born tranquil by nature, liked to meditate, and tried to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth daily.

However, these peace-loving Mountain Moving Apes are the natural kings of their species because they were good learners and proficient at utilizing their body.

Therefore, once they matured and overcame the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, stepping into Class II, they could grow quickly. They might even break the species’ limitations and upgrade to Class II middle grade spirit beasts under the dual empowerment of constant honing and their inherent cultivation instincts.

When Wang Ba reached this point, he immediately thought of the first Mountain Moving Ape he bought.

just as described in the book, the ape was sitting in meditation quietly every day, like an old monk.

To his surprise, it turned out to be a natural king among the Mountain Moving Apes.

Reading further on, Wang Ba was simultaneously surprised and delighted because the author of the Illustrated Guide of Mountain Moving Apes recorded in an inconspicuous place in the book, the cultivation approach for Mountain Moving Apes after they successfully become Class II Spirit Beasts.
