Chapter 245: Chapter 46: Making a God-trusting Torch_2

Finding the Ghost Salticidae wasn’t a challenge, Wang Ba had already bought quite a few when he was at the Ghost Market, which would be enough for him to experiment many times.

However, the availability of Fragrance Bee’s wax was extremely limited.

Wang Ba had to be extra careful during the refining process.

Perhaps due to the lower quality of the bee wax, the God-trusting Torch that Wang Ba made quickly melted into a puddle of wax.

“I failed.”

Wang Ba wasn’t downhearted, and tried it several times more.

Finally, he successfully made two God-trusting Torches that were only about the size of half a finger.

Although they looked poor, it was enough for Wang Ba as an experiment for verifying his idea.

He immediately cut a weak Soul Power from the body of the Class I upper grade Spirit Turtle that was infested with a Yin Devouring Child Insect.

He then aimed it with his mana at the wick of one of the God-trusting Torches. *Sizzle!*

The minute Soul Power of the Spirit Turtle fell onto the wick and started a faint light.

However, to Wang Ba’s surprise, the light extinguished as soon as it was lit!

“Is there a problem with my candle?”

Wang Ba checked hastily but found nothing unusual about the God-trusting Torch.

“Could it be because the Yin Devouring Child Insect is hiding the soul?”

He immediately guessed the reason.

As soon as he thought of it, he collected a small amount of Soul Power from a Class I lower grade Spirit Turtle and lit the wick of another God-trusting Torch. The God-trusting Torch lit up swiftly.

The tiny flame was weak but it flickered steadily.

Immediately, Wang Ba crushed a fake Red Yuan Pill and transferred the Yin Devouring Child Insect inside the Spirit Turtle using his mana.

Shortly after, something miraculous happened.

The God-trusting Torch suddenly went out!

“It works!”

“It really works!”

Wang Ba rejoiced in his heart!

The Yin Devouring Child Insect could completely mask the Soul!

Even the God-trusting Torch couldn’t detect it at all!

This meant that the Spirit Sending Signs, which collected even smaller amounts of the soul, also probably could not detect the soul hidden by the Yin Devouring Child Insect!

“What a treasure!”

“This Yin Devouring Insect is really a treasure!”

Wang Ba was amazed.

Despite his deep research in Beast Control, he had never heard about this insect.

Of course, the types of Spirit Insects are diverse. Some people focus on studying just Spirit Insect, making it a field separate from Beast Control.

So it was normal for Wang Ba not to know.

Therefore, he didn’t investigate further. As long as he confirmed that the Yin Devouring Insect was useful to him, that was all that mattered.

“Now that the Yin Devouring Insect is proven to be useful, the cultivation of the Second Dantian must be on the agenda.”

“Currently, I am only missing an appropriate carrier for the Second Dantian.” Once he found the carrier for the Second Dantian, he would be able to establish the Second Dantian inside it according to “The Law of Mixing Yin and Yang”. He then would have to refine the Yin Devouring Mother Insect and place it in the Second Dantian.

However, the problem was that the Yin Devouring Mother Insect was a Class II top grader Spirit Insect. It might not necessarily fit into the Second Dantian established within a general carrier.

In addition, the Second Dantian probably must reach at least the Foundation Establishment stage in order not to be burst under the spiritual power of the Yin Devouring Mother Insect.

“In that case, I need at least a Class III magic item.”

“Afterward, I have to cultivate this Second Dantian until it reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“Once these two steps are accomplished, I will have the chance to solve the issue with the Spirit Sending Sign.”

Wang Ba was thinking about the tasks he needed to carry out sequentially.

Fortunately, since he had now reached the Foundation Establishment stage and comprehended the tri-unity, thus consolidating his spiritual power, cultivating the Second Dantian to the Foundation Establishment stage would be much easier.

“But to obtain a Class III magic item…”

Wang Ba couldn’t help shaking his head.

Getting a Class III magic item wasn’t something easy.

However, this was his only chance to get rid of the Tianmen Cult.

Having finished his work, Wang Ba suddenly remembered something and quickly took out a small fluffy creature from his Spirit Beast Bag.

It was the little bird he had hatched previously.

In the past two months, the little one had grown from a bald, weakling bird into a milky yellow fluffy creature.

It was small, small enough for Wang Ba to clutch it in one hand.

Covered in milky yellow feathers with apple-red cheeks on both sides of its face.

The tufts of hair on top of its head, like an antenna, stood tall at times and at other times, they drooped toward the back of its head.

With clear, innocent eyes peering around, and tilting its head to look at Wang Ba, it seemed filled with curiosity about everything.

Quite adorable.

Wang Ba’s originally tense mood eased a little at the sight of it.

He took out a set of feeding tools, softly tapped the spoon, and the little one quickly scrambled up onto Wang Ba’s hand using both its beak and claws.

Yes, it’s a bird, but it doesn’t like flying and only flies as a last resort.

It then immediately assumed a feeding posture, opening its mouth wide toward the spoon.

“Eh? What kind of bird is this?”

Upon returning from her errands and pushing open the door, Bu Chan spotted the little one in Wang Ba’s hand, and her eyes lit up.

She couldn’t help but come over, gently stroking the tuft on the little one’s head with her finger.

The little one, however, didn’t seem to care, focusing solely on slurping the milk from the spoon.

“It should be a Mysterious Phoenix, a species of parrot… but its grade doesn’t match.”

Wang Ba explained.

When it was just a fledgling bird, he couldn’t quite tell, but now, with its feathers fully grown, Wang Ba could make out its breed.

It closely resembled the Mysterious Phoenix that Master Jiaohu mentioned in “Everything about Poultry.”

While it is called a Mysterious Phoenix, it is actually a parrot, so named for its beautiful appearance.

Although it possesses spirituality, it does not fit into any grade; it’s essentially a common bird.

But this little bird was different. It’s on the same level as the Wu Monkey King.

One wouldn’t be able to tell this from its looks alone.

So Wang Ba couldn’t be sure what species it truly was.

“Mysterious Phoenix…”

Looking at the adorable milky yellow creature, Bu Chan’s heart was melting.

She even snatched the spoon from Wang Ba to feed it herself, casually asking without looking up:

“Have you named it yet?”

“Not yet, would you like to name it, Junior Sister?”

Wang Ba said with a smile.

“It’s cute and soft, how about we call it Glutinous Rice Dumpling?”

After some thought, Bu Chan suggested a name.

“Sounds good, let’s call it ‘Glutinous Rice Dumpling’.”

Wang Ba waved his hand.

At the same time, he handed Glutinous Rice Dumpling over to Bu Chan for feeding.

With his busy schedule leaving hardly any spare time, Bu Chan felt lonely. Having Glutinous Rice Dumpling as a companion would make things better. Bu Chan was overjoyed.

She gently cradled it in her arms, unable to put it down.

Seeing this scene, Wang Ba couldn’t help but reveal a smile.

However, moments of leisure like this were few and far between, and Wang Ba soon continued with his hectic schedule.

The latest batch of Azure Spirit Turtles that Wang Ba had hatched had successfully advanced to Class II, middle grade, after Wang Ba infused them with lifespan.

After calculating, Wang Ba determined the propagation of the Azure Spirit Turtle was now extremely stable. They had advanced from Class II, lower grade, after cultivating for roughly three generations, under the condition of a lifespan breakthrough, and it took about five years.

The newborn Class II, middle grade Azure Spirit Turtles, which Wang Ba specially tested with Class II attack-type talismans, now had a defense that could withstand the attacks of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Competitor without any harm.

But compared with their impressive physical defense, their resistance to soul attacks seemed quite weak.

Nonetheless, Wang Ba was satisfied, patiently playing with, feeding, and massaging the backs of the newborn Azure Spirit Turtles…

These creatures were the ideal binders for his ‘Scapegoat’ divine skill.

For the sake of survival, all this hard work was worth it.

However, he didn’t kill the previously bound Class II, lower-grade Spirit Turtles.

After all, even Class II, lower-grade Azure Spirit Turtles have a defense that could barely hold its own against a late-stage Foundation Establishment Competitor.

It would be a waste to just kill them.

Time flew by amidst Wang Ba’s hectic schedule.

A few days later.

He finally received the upper echelon of the Tianmen Cult’s arrangement for him.

“Order, Foundation Establishment Competitor Wang Ba, along with twenty Qi Refining stage Competitors, to go to ‘Luolan Mountain’ in the southeast and set up formations…”
