Chapter 222: Chapter 36 Yansheng Art_3

A late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator not being able to afford a pot of Spirit Chicken Essence worth forty middle grade Spirit Stones revealed their abject situation.

The surrounding stall owners began to complain as well.

But, no one dared to mention Master Yuji’s name.

Wang Ba had been sitting for half the day and had only sold one pot of Spirit Chicken Essence, so he was planning to pack up and go find Zhao Feng.

However, at this point, another young cultivator who looked rather inexperienced paused at the sight of the Spirit Chicken Essence at Wang Ba’s stall and asked with a slightly peculiar accent:

“May I inquire about the price for this Spirit Chicken Essence?

“It’s forty middle-grade Spirit Stones per pot, no haggling allowed.”

Wang Ba replied without thinking.

Because there were too many asking for the price, and too many wanting to bargain but not enough actually buying, Wang Ba decided not to waste his breath and immediately shut down any possible attempts to haggle.

As expected, the young cultivator revealed a troubled expression upon hearing this.

just when he was about to leave, he noticed the sign next to Wang Ba and his

eyes lit up:

“Do you purchase spells here?”

Wang Ba did not look down on him and nodded: “Not all spells are purchased here. Preferably, they should be related to the soul; next would be some powerful Water Style spells…”

The young cultivator quickly said, “I have the ‘Yansheng’ technique, could this work?”

“Yansheng?”

Wang Ba paused slightly upon hearing this.

The so-called Yansheng technique is a kind of spell that can both block others’ curses on oneself and, conversely, be used to curse others.

It was relatively rare in the Cultivation World.

Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, but then asked, “Can I check it out first?

The young cultivator did not hesitate either. He rummaged through his storage bag for a moment, then took out a jade slip and a gold paper.

“This is the rubbing. You can take a look.”

Wang Ba took it and gave it a quick glance, his heart immediately filled with joy.

The real name of this ‘Yansheng’ technique turned out to be the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse.

It did not fall under any specific grade.

After sacrificing one hundred beings of the same class as the recipient of the technique, it could impose a curse on the recipient’s soul.

The curse did not necessarily kill the recipient, but it could linger on their soul, continually plunging them into various negative states.

Conversely, if the recipient of the technique were the caster himself, the curse would instead form a protective layer on his soul. If anyone tried to attack the caster’s soul, they would be afflicted with the curse, falling into a sustained negative state.

In short, it was a tricky technique that seemed quite useless at first glance.

Being able to deal with hundreds of beings of the same class as the recipient, but still unable to kill him, was a heavy loss indeed.

But it was different for Wang Ba.

As long as Master Lin persisted in his cultivation while in the body of Jia 15, he would soon be able to harvest a batch of Class II spirit chickens. This way, he could accumulate one hundred beings of the same class as him to add a protective layer to his soul.

Of course, that meant more trouble for Master Lin.

Moreover, the Spiritual Ghost Eel had a high grade. With its reproduction speed, it could also meet Wang Ba’s needs.

“But it seems that I have to keep a close eye on Master Lin when I return.

Wang Ba thought to himself.

“Vaunted friend, may I ask if this is acceptable?”

At this time, the young cultivator asked with some nervousness.

He knew that the practicality of this technique was very low. It was fine at the low stages, but in the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Yansheng technique was almost of no use. After all, where was he going to find so many beings in the Foundation Establishment Stage?

However, to his surprise, Wang Ba agreed without hesitation. Yes!

With that, he handed a pot of Spirit Chicken Essence to the young cultivator. The young cultivator was overjoyed, but seeing so much Spirit Chicken Essence, he was embarrassed: “I am truly undeserving. This technique is not worth this much, but this is the only thing I have that can effectively target the soul…”

Wang Ba just smiled. The sincerity of the other party made him happy, and he thought it was rare to exchange a pot of Spirit Chicken Essence for a technique that suited him so well.

So he insisted: “It’s fine, take it!”

Seeing that Wang Ba was not going to haggle over this, the young cultivator expressed his gratitude with a grateful smile.

“Thank you, fellow Daoist!”

Then, he handed the jade slip containing the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse to Wang Ba.

“Would you like… me to tell you about the points to note about this technique?”

After hesitating for a moment, the young cultivator, feeling somewhat guilty, suggested hesitantly.

Wang Ba was somewhat surprised when he heard this, but since the other party had brought up this technique, it was clear that he had done some research. So, he smiled and said:

“That would be best. I appreciate your effort, fellow Daoist.”

“You’re welcome.”

The young cultivator simply sat next to Wang Ba and explamed briefly. Business at Wang Ba’s stall was slow, so he listened attentively. Soon, Wang Ba found out that although the young cultivator seemed youthful, his foundation in the techniques was deep and systematic, not like an ordinary rogue cultivator.

After listening for a while, Wang Ba felt that he had gained quite a bit. Although he hadn’t started practicing the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse, he already had a general idea.

Then he also shared some of his ideas.

Soon, they began discussing with each other. The conversation went from Yansheng, to ordinary spells, to powerful spells.

The more they talked, the more congenial they became.

Both Wang Ba and the young cultivator felt like their horizons were greatly expanded.

Meanwhile, the young cultivator inadvertently exposed his identity. “Daoist Yang, you are a cultivator from the Wei State Sect? How did you…” Wang Ba was surprised, but then he recalled what Master Yuji had said earlier and understood.

Obviously, with the Wei State being annihilated, the sect no longer existed. As a cultivator of the sect, he naturally had to go into exile in another country.

The young cultivator showed a bitter look on his face.

“Sigh, those Incense-burning Dao Cultivators of the Kingdom of Immortals were truly terrifying. Although I didn’t go to the front line, I heard that they easily destroyed an entire nation in just three or four years!”

“The cultivators of my sect, apart from a few of us young cultivators with good qualifications who were kept as the seeds for the sect’s revival, all participated in the resistance against the Kingdom of Immortals, but …

“Golden Core, Nascent Soul… In front of them, they were ultimately unable to escape!”

“Is there no way to stop them?”

Seeing the pain in the young cultivator’s eyes, Wang Ba couldn’t help but frown.

“No.”

The young cultivator shook his head in despair: “Sect Master once said that throughout the Fenglin Continent, with Chu Dynasty in chaos and Qi Dynasty exhausted, it is impossible to stop the advance of the Kingdom of Immortals.” “If there is any, there can probably only be two.”

Out of curiosity, Wang Ba asked: “Which two?

“The northern Yan Dynasty, and… the western Jin Dynasty!”
