Chapter 239: Chapter 43 Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse_2

After all, he was human, and couldn’t always be careful and vigilant.

The other party was not much stronger than him but had pushed him to his limits, making it difficult for him to hold back.

Moreover, once he became aware of Bao An’s intentions, it was no longer easy to withdraw.

Originally, he planned to ameliorate disaster by giving up wealth. However, when he heard the figure of 500 spirit stones mentioned by Shopkeeper Lao, he knew this matter couldn’t be easily settled.

After weighing the pros and cons, he made a decision that seemed to go against his usual way of doing things—directly exacerbating the conflict.

Of course, he had some confidence in his decision.

Firstly, although Bao An was a Sect Cultivator, he only seemed slightly more powerful than Master Gao from back in the day.

With Jia 15 and Wu Monkey King around, he was not afraid.

The only concern was other high-class Cultivators from the Xuli Sect in the market.

But since the other party was the Chief of this place, even if they were not the most powerful here, they must be among the top few.

Even if Wang Ba couldn’t defeat them, he could escape in time thanks to the speed of his Class II top-grade flying Magic Tool.

Secondly, Bao An was initially wary of Wang Ba, which suggested he was afraid Wang Ba would cause trouble in the market. This suggested that the market was both Bao An’s confidence and his vulnerability.

As long as Bao An hadn’t been completely blinded by greed, he wouldn’t dare to touch Wang Ba in the market.

At most, he would just try to intimidate Wang Ba with his Sect.

Wang Ba had weighed all of this back then. Although he wasn’t entirely confident, nothing in this world was a hundred percent certain.

After understanding the situation, he unhesitatingly made his move.

As expected, just like how Wang Ba had guessed, when he summoned Jia 15, showcasing his ability that posed a threat to Bao An, Bao An’s attitude immediately changed.

He even allowed Wang Ba to leave, daring not to make a move.

“This is the Cultivation World, where reality is even more naked than in the mortal world.”

Through this incident, Wang Ba felt more intensely the hardships of being a Rogue Cultivator.

“After leaving Tianmen Cult, I need to find a way to join a large power.”

“Whether it’s due to the inherently tough circumstances of a Rogue Cultivator, or the imminent invasion of the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator… Alt, I don’t know when this kind of life will come to an end.”

Wang Ba shook his head, showing a blend of sigh and regret.

He had originally planned to find a Tool Refiner in the Xuli Market to help create a set of Class II magic tools for a Spirit Cook.

It’s a pity that after the incident with Bao An, he planned not to go to the Xuli Market again.

This matter would have to be put aside for the time being.

Fortunately, the main purpose of his trip was successfully accomplished.

Thanks to Bao An’s ‘efforts’, Wang Ba acquired rubbings of ten-odd spells.

Besides some superfluous spells that no one else wanted.

In summary, there were seven or eight spells worth learning.

These included the rubbings of a powerful Class II defensive spell known as the Cloud-Water Six Flowers Barrier and an ordinary Class II movement spell, Shadows Oblique…

Apart from the Cloud-Water Six Flowers Barrier which was a powerful spell that required the collection of six types of Water Style poisons to be cultivated, Wang Ba managed to grasp the rest of the spells with just over a hundred years of lifespan.

Not only that, he had also managed to learn some of the spells he had bought in the Linglong Ghost Market using his lifespan.

In just over ten days, he had learnt nearly twenty different kinds of spells.

Of course, apart from the Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics that he had already mastered, none of the spells were powerful spells.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t acquired the powerful spell rubbings or originals.

It was just that the resources needed for these powerful spells were extremely rare, or were being monopolized by the Sects.

Even in the Linglong Ghost Market, getting all the resources necessary to cultivate a Class II spell depended on luck.

However, normal spells had their uses, they didn’t consume Mana, and they didn’t change the nature of Mana, making them easier to replenish.

Unlike powerful spells, which were great to use, but took a good amount of time to replenish.

Wang Ba, with his lifespan consuming ability, could shorten this process.

But, still, he needed sufficient resources for replenishment.

The good thing about the Golden Wind Jade Dew Tactics was that some of his water-styled Mana had been completely changed to Jade Dew Mana. Even when completely consumed, it would automatically condense, which made it much easier than the typical powerful spells.

And during these days of his spell cultivation.

The eggs laid by Jia 15 and Jia 16 after mating had also hatched.

Wang Ba made a breakthrough with this lifespan.

In the meantime, this brought Wang Ba both a piece of good news and a not- so-good news.

The good news was that the Spirit Chicken had made a breakthrough beyond Wang Ba’s expectations after its lifespan improvement. It was extraordinarily smooth!

The Spirit Chicken was an upper-grade Class II in the first place, and after the breakthrough, it achieved the status of top-grade Class II!

As for the not-so-good news, this Spirit Chicken was a male, and unfortunately, it was an ordinary meat chicken, not a battling Phantom Chicken.

This meant that it could not be a breeding match for Jia 15, nor could it demonstrate its value in battle.

Although it has an astonishing abundance of spiritual energy, without a Class II Spirit Cook’s magic tool at hand, cooking it would be a big waste.

Though it was of a high level, it made Wang Ba feel as if it was more trouble than it’s worth.

On the other hand, Jia 15, seeing its ‘child’ advance in just over ten days, had its eyes turn red with envy.

This sparked some interest in Wang Ba.

For him, the higher the grade of Jia 15, the higher the grade of Spirit Chickens it would yield. Thus, his primary cultivation direction for Spirit Chickens would be to help Jia 15 continuously achieve Bloodline Breakthroughs.

As for the Spirit Turtles, he didn’t need to worry too much. After observing for a few days, he had discovered that the eggs laid by the progeny of the lower- grade Class II Azure Spirit Turtles were about to hatch.

Once these Spirit Turtles hatched and underwent a Lifespan Breakthrough, there might be middle-grade Class II Azure Spirit Turtles among them.

Apart from that, the breeding of the Spiritual Ghost Eels had filled Wang Ba with surprises.

The ten upper-grade Class II Spiritual Ghost Eels had laid quite a few eggs again.

And the number of lower-grade Class II Spiritual Ghost Eels had now reached more than three hundred.

After some consideration, Wang Ba finally selected a hundred lower-grade Class II Spiritual Ghost Eels from them.

“Take a hundred living beings of the same rank as the cursed person, the stronger these beings, the better… Engrave… Sacrifice…”

Wang Ba quickly inscribed a Sacrifice Array in the void, according to the methods described in the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse.

This spell could not only curse others, but also add a layer of protection to his own soul.

Soon, a hundred lower-grade Class II Spiritual Ghost Eels were suspended in mid-air, restrained by an invisible force in an unusual pose.

Immediately after, a strange scene took place.

In the void, there seemed to be flames rising, ice overturning, blades pressing upon them… countless shadows of trials fluctuated and vanished like foam.

And one by one, the Spiritual Ghost Eels became visibly withered.

The gloomy eyes of the eels gradually shrank, all pointing at Wang Ba.

As if they wanted to imprint the face of their killer into their memory so that even if they fell into endless hell…

Soon, these eels had turned into corpses. Following that, they were reduced to ashes and fell onto the ground.

In complete silence.

“Done!”

The moment the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse was successfully cast, Wang Ba’s soul suddenly felt a chilling surprise!

It seemed as if he had been targeted by a malicious being!

Evil, cruel, cold-hearted, malicious… All negative terms in the world seemed inadequate to describe such a being.

And his soul was surrounded by such a being.

As his spiritual senses delved into his consciousness, he faintly saw an indescribable dark black color filled with negative emotions attached to the exterior of the temple of Yin’s Government.

These dark beings, even with just one glance, gave him a tremendous sense of fear.

He was not even sure if it was his illusion, he sensed as if the temple of Yin’s Government had slightly shrunken.

“This curse… is really eerie!”

Looking at the dark black color outside the temple, Wang Ba felt a sense of apprehension.

This was his first encounter with such a curse.

It indeed had a striking difference from the spell system of a regular cultivator.

At least he had no idea how the Spiritual Ghost Eels died in the first place.

At the same time, he also felt an indescribable sense of safety.

After all, incense-burning Dao cultivators specialized in the Dao of Soul. Having an extra layer of protection for the soul against these people would naturally increase the chance of survival.

After casting the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse, Wang Ba spent a few more days familiarizing himself with spells and magic tools, as well as talismans and spirit beasts, to achieve a better harmonization among them.

Soon, the day to return to the East Saint’s station had finally arrived.
