Chapter 154 - 138: Mountain Moving Ape, Class II Spirit Plant_i
Wang Ba and Bu Chan first went to the Taosheng Market in Jiantao Station.
Following the Sound Transmission Talisman given by Bai Yu, they first contacted a few cultivators who planted in spirit fields.
Then, Wang Ba accompanied Bu Chan in the market to find the spirit rice seeds she needed, while waiting for replies.
This was Bu Chan’s first time using the Teleportation Array to visit other stations, and her eyes were filled with curiosity at the dazzling array of goods.
Compared with East Saint Station, this place had been managed by the Tianmen Cult for a long time, and both the types of trades and the number of people far exceeded East Saint Station.
In a short while, Bu Chan spent over three hundred spirit stones in the stall area and bought two types of top grade Class I spirit rice seeds with high yields.
“It’s a pity, if there were Class II spirit rice seeds, although they would be more troublesome to care for, they would be more helpful to me.”
Bu Chan expressed some regret.
For this, Wang Ba didn’t have any good solutions. Most of the items in the market were traded by Fleresy Cultivators, so they were basically all Class I items needed by Qi Refining cultivators.
Being able to buy top grade Class I spirit rice seeds was already considered good. In the market at East Saint Station, one couldn’t even find upper grade spirit rice seeds.
After browsing for a while, Wang Ba incidentally visited the local spirit beast store and was pleasantly surprised to buy a few Armored Giant-head Turtles.
To his surprise, the Mountain Moving Ape he had seen last time had not been sold yet.
Wang Ba immediately curiously inquired outside the spirit beast store.
“Ha, who would buy that thing unless they really have nowhere to spend their spirit stones?”
An old cultivator who was setting up a stall not far from the entrance of the spirit beast store sneered:
“This Mountain Moving Ape can indeed grow into a lower grade Class II Spirit Beast and is good at both offence and defence. Its strength is also extraordinary. Unfortunately, it has to experience a ‘Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’ in order to mature successfully, and it has to rely on itself to cross this tribulation. The success rate is so-so. Just think, it would be fine if it was just spending so many spirit stones, but after raising it painstakingly for nearly 60 years, if it gets struck dead by a bolt of thunder, who can you go to for redress?”
Wang Ba nodded in agreement.
No wonder no one bought it. After all, over seventy middle grade spirit stones was not a small amount of money. Spending so many spirit stones to buy a Spirit Beast that is not currently useful and may be struck to death in the future is really not worthwhile.
But Wang Ba couldn’t help thinking in his heart.
The Mountain Moving Ape has difficulty crossing the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation because it is only a top grade Class 1 Spirit Beast before the tribulation. But what if it surpasses the average Class 1 top grade by using the method of Lifespan Breakthrough before the tribulation?
Moreover, even if the Mountain Moving Ape is not yet mature, it is already close to the Class II stage. After using the Lifespan Breakthrough, will it directly achieve the lower grade Class II?
By then, if it resists the ‘Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation’ with its lower grade Class II flesh body, will the success rate increase?
Of course, there is also a possibility that the power of the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation increases with the rise in rank of the Mountain Moving Ape. If that’s the case, then it’s just its fate.
But what if it’s not the case?
Without much hesitation, Wang Ba returned to the spirit beast store and haggled with the shop owner for a long time.
Perhaps because the Mountain Moving Ape was indeed hard to sell, the shop owner sent out several Sound Transmission Talisman, supposedly consulting with the Deacon of the Cult for a long time, before finally settling the deal at a price of 6o middle grade Spirit Stones.
If it weren’t for the nearly two hundred middle grade Spirit Stones provided by the Storage Bags of the three red-haired cultivators, Wang Ba would not be willing to spend so much.
But when he saw the little ape in the Spirit Beast Bag that naturally assumed a meditating posture, he couldn’t help but smile.
“It’s a pity, if there was a female Mountain Moving Ape, that would be even better…”
Wang Ba expressed some regret.
Now whenever he saw a spirit beast, he thought about expanding their population.
It’s almost becoming an instinct.
After another round, Wang Ba didn’t have much desire to make another purchase.
After getting the Mountain Moving Ape, other spirit beasts in the store were basically unappealing.
However, there were a few spirit chickens raised from Precious Chickens. They were all lower grade spirit chickens. It seemed that they had been shifted from East Saint station because Wang Ba saw his own markings on some of these spirit chickens.
After leaving, Wang Ba brought a batch of lower grade Spirit Chickens he had prepared not long ago, paid a certain amount of Spirit Stones, and gave them to the local Spiritual Cook for cooking.
After that, he patiently waited for a while before finally receiving a reply via a Sound Transmission Talisman.
Wang Ba immediately went to the location given by the other party.
“Fellow Daoist, are you the one who came to collect the Spirit Valley Bran?”
An elderly cultivator, with a skin as dark as a farmer, greeted Wang Ba as soon as he saw him.
This cultivator didn’t have the disposition expected of a Tianmen Cult cultivator, instead resembling a rural farmer.
Simple and profound.
“Indeed, I am Wang Ba. Haha, thank you, fellow Daoist.”
Wang Ba was also very polite.
Because he astonishingly discovered that the aura emanating from this cultivator, who didn’t look like a cultivator, was unique to the Foundation Establishment stage.
“Oh, I’m Zhang Qingniu. Come, see if you can use this Spirit Valley Bran.”
Saying this, the old farmer directly led Wang Ba to a flat land, where they saw a pile of bran resembling a small mountain.
Next to it was a pile of fine wheat bran powder.
Bu Chan quietly reminded Wang Ba: “These are all of lower grade Class II…”
Wang Ba suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.
Class II Spirit Valley Bran and Spirit Wheat Bran are all good things..
