Chapter 341: Chapter 5 Bu Chan’s Foundation Establishment_3

He handed out two portions to the Tool Refiner surnamed Li.

Wang Ba didn’t collect spirit stones from Tool Refiner Li, mainly because he was unsure what to ask for, and also, he wanted to deepen the relationship with him, so that in the future, if he ever required artifact refinement, he could ask for his help.

Tool Refiner Li, not one for pretence, accepted the spirit stones and warmed up to Wang Ba.

With their business transactions completed, they set off for Baiyun Prairie together.

The only thing that puzzled Wang Ba was that after leaving the territory of Zhenling Palace, he had an inexplicable feeling that he had missed something.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t figure it out. He decided to just let it go.

…

On their return journey, they luckily encountered the semi-annual opening of Stage II of the Linglong Ghost Market.

Wang Ba and Tool Refiner Li naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity and entered excitedly, each going their own way to explore.

On this chance, Wang Ba found the manager of Stage II, an old man dressed in brocade.

In front of the old man, Wang Ba deliberately did not use the Power of the Yin God to change his appearance.

“Shen has arrived, I see,” said the old man, seeing Wang Ba with no surprise.

In reality, Wang Ba visits almost every year to buy various resources, while also using the opportunity to chat with the old man. As he possesses Tang Ji token, the old man doesn’t refuse him.

After several interactions, they had become familiar with each other.

Without waiting for Wang Ba to respond, the old man in brocade, known as Shang Li, started the conversation:

“Your Senior Brother Zhao is still in seclusion. However, rest assured that as soon as he comes out, I will be the first to inform him to meet you.”

Wang Ba was momentarily taken aback, then showed a smile:

“Haha, you mentioned it before, Shang. It might take another two or three years, there’s no rush.”

“But what I mainly want to ask is whether you have any Jidu Ganoderma, Gold Feather Grass, White Dragon Sulfur, Emerald Feather Bone, Thunderfire Rain, or a Third-Order Spirit Beast’s Inner Core…”

Wang Ba had learnt Shang Li’s name only after visiting a few times.

Shang Li blinked at Wang Ba’s words, then thought seriously:

“If I’m not mistaken, these items you’re asking for are mostly available for sale on the third floor of the Ghost Market. However, you aren’t qualified to enter the third floor yet, and I cannot break the rules.”

Wang Ba was initially joyful to hear his words, but after hearing the latter half of the sentence, he fell silent.

However, he still tried to negotiate:

“What about private trade? If I buy it from you, I’ll give you extra spirit stones. Wouldn’t that adhere to the rules?”

These materials would assist Jia 15 in achieving a Bloodline Breakthrough to reach Class III, a formula Wang Ba had devoted a considerable amount of time to researching.

As long as he managed to gather these ingredients, according to Wang’s estimate, he would be able to help Jia 15 successfully advance to Class III. Given Jia 15’s physique, he would very likely successfully Cross Tribulation.

However, almost all these items were monopolised or controlled by the Sect. Despite his many attempts, Wang Ba still couldn’t get them.

He happened to encounter the opening of the second stage of the Ghost Market, so he tried his luck there, but the goods happened to be available at the third stage which he couldn’t access.

What surprised Wang Ba was that after listening to his proposal, Shang Li looked at him, chuckled and admonished without any trace of contempt:

“Shen, you’d better think of another way. I, Shang, greatly value rules, which you should know after visiting so many times.”

“Ten thousand!” exclaimed Wang Ba. “In addition to the original price of those materials, I’ll give you ten thousand more spirit stones!”

…

“Uh, Shen, are the spirit stones you’re talking about lower grade or middle grade?” Shang Li coughed and asked gently, then quickly explained with guilt, “I’m not trying to be greedy, I’m just asking.”

Wang Ba was slightly stunned, then overjoyed:

“Of course it’s middle grade, how could lower grade match up to Brother Shang?”

At these words, a joyful expression appeared on Shang Li’s face. However, he immediately repressed his inadvertent smile and returned to his poker-faced demeanor.

After scanning his surroundings, Shang Li then hinted Wang Ba with his eyes.

Wang Ba instantly understood and followed Shang Li into a side hall next to the building housing the Baiwen Tower, and they sat down there.

Immediately, a cultivator came over to replenish Wang Ba’s spirit tea.

What surprised Wang Ba was that the aura of the spirit tea had astonishingly reached Class III.

“It’s supplied by the higher-ups, don’t be shy,” Shang Li said, his severe face softening a little.

After taking a small sip of the tea, Wang Ba felt refreshed with a surge of deep realizations about things he had not noticed before.

Especially in terms of spiritual cooking, it was as if he had grasped the reason why he could never achieve 100% purity in the refinement of the Class II Spirit Chicken Essence.

Seizing the opportunity, he smiled apologetically at Shang Li, then immersed himself in deep contemplation.

Shang Li didn’t mind and continued to drink his tea.

After a long time,

Wang Ba finally came back to his senses. He instinctively felt that his understanding of spiritual cooking had improved significantly.

He had a rough idea of how to solve the issue of achieving 100% purity in Class II Essence.

“Thank you, Brother Shang,” said Wang Ba sincerely.

“What’s there to thank for? The spirit tea only has such an effect the first time… However, about the thing you mentioned earlier, I can break the rules for you… but only to a certain extent…”
