Chapter 223 - 37 Discussion on Beast Control_i
Wang Ba couldn’t help but murmured these two names.
His knowledge of these two kingdoms was limited, only aware that they were two of the five hegemonic powers in Fenglin Continent.
The Chen State fell under the jurisdiction of the Great Jin Dynasty.
While the Yan State was subject to the Chu Dynasty.
These five great forces neighbouring each other, each occupying a corner of Fenglin Continent, had reached a certain balance.
Now, this balance was clearly disrupted.
And with the continued expansion of the Kingdom of Immortals, this imbalance would only become more severe.
Which also implied that Fenglin Continent might soon face a tremendous upheaval sweeping across the five major forces, and no one would be able to escape it.
In the face of such massive changes, the Tianmen Cult, which appeared monstrous in his eyes, might not be much different from a mere individual like him.
For a moment, Wang Ba felt somewhat lost.
Even if he managed to leave Tianmen Cult, considering the vastness of Fenglin Continent, where should he go?
“Go to the Great Yan, or the Great Jin!”
The younger cultivator spoke firmly, “Before leaving, Sect Master advised us to flee to either the Great Yan or the Great Jin…”
“However, the Great Yan is actually the stronghold of the real Demon Dao. They don’t value mortals and often enslave them. Yet, they treat us cultivators very well. My first choice is the Great Yan, followed by the Great Jin.”
“The Great Jin is not bad either, but it is bound by too many rules and values mortals too much. There was once a cultivator who made a blood sacrifice of mortals, and the Longevity Sect of the Great Jin immediately captured a sect’s people and killed them all. Their methods were more terrifying than the Original Demon Sect of the Yan Dynasty.”
Hearing this, Wang Ba noted down ‘Great Yan’ and ‘Great Jin’ in his heart, preparing to find an opportunity to understand more about them.
If there was truly a chance to flee from Tianmen Cult, he might need to seek refuge in one of these two kingdoms.
The two chatted aimlessly for a while.
There were few who came to Wang Ba’s stall to buy Spirit Chicken Essence.
The younger cultivator could not help but suggest to Wang Ba,
“Fellow Daoist, you only have this Spirit Chicken Essence on your stall. It’s too singular. How can you attract people?”
Wang Ba sighed in frustration, “I did put some Magic Tools before, but they were all sold out. I really have nothing else to sell.”
The younger cultivator then asked, “Why don’t you imitate that fellow Daoist?”
As Wang Ba followed the direction the younger cultivator was pointing at, he was shocked to see a stall gleaming with talismans but next to it was a monkey-like Spirit Beast, making cute gestures. Its adorable appearance indeed attracted many female cultivators.
A monkey? He had that too!
After a brief hesitation, he summoned Wu Monkey King. At the same time, he concealed Wu Monkey King’s true class with the token provided by the Linglong Ghost Market.
Despite this, Wu Monkey King’s shiny silver body occasionally flashing with electricity was still quite an attractive sight, drawing many onlookers.
Wang Ba managed to sell two more pots of Spirit Chicken Essence.
The younger cultivator left as he saw Wang Ba busied himself with customers.
Assured by this tactic’s success, Wang Ba summoned the Azure Spirit Turtle, Class II Lower Grade Phoenix-feathered Chicken Yi 2, and Class II Lower Grade Black-feathered Chicken Bing 1.
These spirits were either mutated Spiritual Beasts or offsprings of mutated Spiritual Beasts, even cultivators specialized in Beast Control rarely encountered them and therefore seemed quite exclusive.
This instantly attracted quite a few cultivators.
Soon, a cultivator hidden under a black Daoist robe traded three pots of Spirit Chicken Essence for a Class II spirit fire, ‘Wood Fire.’
This fire, driven by Wood Style Mana, was mild and was not intense. It was perfect for Wang Ba to refine the Spirit Chicken Essence, thus he was quite satisfied.
By this point, Wang Ba was out of Spirit Chicken Essence.
Only two pots of Spirit Turtle Essence were left.
Wang Ba didn’t intend to sell anymore as he planned to exchange it for the Cultivation Method for the Second Dantian.
He was unsure of the actual price of this Cultivation Method, but it was good to be prepared.
So he changed the indication on his sign, only offering the Spirit Turtle Essence in exchange for what he needed.
After repeatedly refusing a few cultivators interested in the Spirit Turtle Essence, since they could not provide what Wang Ba required, his stall quickly ran out of patrons.
while Wang Ba wasn’t too bothered about it, he fetched the Little Bird from the Spirit Beast Bag. After feeding the Little Bird some milk, the Baby Bird flopped her neck and fell asleep peacefully.
As Wang Ba put away the Little Bird, he raised his head to find another customer standing in front of his stall, curiously staring at the Wu Monkey King.
He could not tell the age of this customer. The customer was handsome, with clear brows, a light beard under his chin, dressed in a simple light blue robe, and stood with his hands behind his back.
He seemed relaxed, displaying an aloof temperament, and showed no interest in anything of this world.
What surprised Wang Ba was that he could not tell the exact Cultivation Base of this man.
Of course, that was because the man had intentionally concealed his aura.
Wang Ba didn’t dare to neglect and quickly greeted him.
The man responded warmly, smiling, “Fellow Daoist, you’ve bred your Spirit Beasts quite well.”
Wang Ba responded with a smile, “Just average. Do you have the appropriate Cultivation Method for the Second Dantian that I require?”
However, the man was taken aback by Wang Ba’s words. He then noticed the words on Wang Ba’s signboard and showed a slightly apologetic smile,
“Sorry, but I don’t have what you need. I was just intrigued by this Mountain Moving Ape that has undergone three enhancements..”
