Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 260: Chapter 53 Qianyu Lake, Chess Player!_1

Wang Ba looked at the “Withered Soul” in his hand and an idea formed in his mind.

If this spell was used on the spiritual beasts he had raised, what would the effect be?

He held several combat-capable spiritual beasts in his possession, such as the Spirit Chicken, Spirit Turtle, Spirit Eel, and so on.

Now that their grades have increased, it’s becoming more challenging for these spiritual beasts to improve further. If they were utilized as disposable combat forces, it could be a means to leverage them to the fullest.

Apart from those high-intelligence ones like the Mountain Moving Ape, he could afford to lose Spirit Chickens, most Spirit Turtles, and Spirit Eels without any psychological burden.

However, when he looked at the translucent soul seeds in the altar, whirling with smoke-like auras, he thought his idea might be a little presumptuous. The higher the grade of the living beings, the higher the requirement for the quality of the soul seeds.

These soul seeds in the square-faced cultivator’s altar were all of inferior quality.

According to the introduction in “Withered Soul”, for the sake of facilitating cultivation, the quality of soul seeds also has grade divisions.

They are typically divided into three classes and twelve stages, corresponding to the realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core cultivators.

Regarding higher stages, it seems that the creator of this spell hadn’t perfected them due to a lack of cultivation base.

Technically, top-grade soul seeds of Class III can aid all living beings below Class IV to burst out power surpassing their current stage in a short time.

It’s somewhat similar to the life-risking secret techniques mastered by cultivators of the Demon Dao.

However, the effects of this spell are irreversible.

Of course, to maximize the effect of the soul seed, different grades of soul seeds are often used on corresponding grades of living beings.

Wang Ba had many upper-grade Class II spiritual beasts, which required at least upper-grade Class II soul seeds to have an effect.

Regrettably, all the soul seeds here were of Class I.

The best of them were merely upper-grade Class I.

“However, these soul seeds could be elevated by devouring each other. Otherwise, you could only place this ‘Soul-Summoning Altar’ in chaotic Yin Ghost areas to slowly nurture and level up over time.”

Wang Ba discovered an encouraging point on the golden paper rubbing.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

However, he didn’t continue pondering it.

Suddenly, a message that sent chills down his spine came through the ‘Spiritual Ear’ tool near his ear.

“Attention! Attention! A group of Qi Refining Stage cultivators is passing through Xionghu Mountain and likely heading south. Any Class II ones nearby? Intercept them immediately, don’t let them disturb ‘that place’!”

“Attention! Attention! Anyone near Xionghu Mountain? They cannot go ‘there’, otherwise, if the Divine Envoy blames us, we won’t be able to bear the consequences!”

Soon someone suggested,

“Why not let Zong’er check if there’s any Spiritual Ears nearby?”

“That’s right. Are you there, Zong’er?”

“Is Zong’er there…”

Hearing the messages from the Spiritual Ear, Wang Ba’s heart lurched. “Xionghu Mountain?”

He had an intuition that he had recently come across this name somewhere!

Hurriedly, he took out a map from the Storage Bag.

It didn’t take long for him to freeze in place.

Because he was located to the south of Xionghu Mountain!

At this moment, Wang Ba’s Spiritual Sense also suddenly felt alert!

His Spiritual Sense scanned across and identified a group of Tianmen Cult cultivators flying hurriedly nearby.

All these cultivators were in the Qi Refining stage, with cultivation bases primarily around Stage VII or VIII. There were almost none below high-stage Qi Refining.

Wang Ba watched them and recognized several who had previously participated in the attack on Li Canghai.

His spiritual sense swept over them, making his expression change.

In that group of people, he found a familiar face.

“Hua Meng?”

Right then, he heard a voice in the Spiritual Ear,

“I’m near Xionghu Mountain, rest assured, a group of Class I cultivators will easily be caught.”

Finally hearing someone respond, the Incense-burning Dao Cultivators in the Spiritual Ear immediately felt relieved.

“Good that someone’s there. Don’t miss any of those Class I cultivators. If they disrupt the Divine Envoy’s arrangements, we’re all going to be blamed.”

“Well, I’ve heard that the Divine Envoys are almost finished with their plans. Once successful, we might be able to conquer a country with the power of our lineage. By then, who would dare call us toothless tigers?”

“By the way, why hasn’t Zong’er responded? I wanted to ask about whether Qianyu Lake is accessible. I heard that many people had an accident there.” “Qianyu Lake? Take my advice, we better not go recently. Some Golden Core rogue cultivators just showed up there. Even though we want to catch some people for refining Yin Ghosts, it’s not worth risking our lives.”

“True, but why is Zong’er reacting so slowly today…”

The speaker was indifferent, but the listener was attentive. Wang Ba quietly kept ‘Qianyu Lake’ in mind.

Suddenly, Wang Ba felt something and quickly glanced at the distance.

In the sky above, a cultivator with a body fully enveloped in red rushed past!

“An Incense-burning Dao Cultivator!”

“Is he going after those Tianmen Cult cultivators?”

Wang Ba’s gaze tightened. He felt a surge of impulse, but he promptly suppressed it.

He had no relation to these Tianmen Cult cultivators. Even if they were being hunted by an Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, for the sake of his safety, he wouldn’t intervene..
