Chapter 371: Chapter 20 No Ordinary People In Sight_2

To be honest, he was just lucky this time, having encountered a relatively large number of 'Green-eyed Red Mynas' in the wild; otherwise, this would have been impossible.

Immediately, he took out the Class III Spirit Beast's Inner Core from his storage ring and handed it directly to Wang Ba.

Wang Ba held the round stone-like thing in his hand, unable to resist looking at it in detail.

Last time, Zhao Feng used up the Class III Inner Core too quickly, and Wang Ba didn't notice it, so strictly speaking, this was his first time seeing an intact Class III Inner Core.

However, the exterior didn't reveal much, only emitting a profound and oppressive, dense power.

Wang Ba quickly put away these two items and took out eighty portions of Class II Chicken Essence.

After the exchange, both of them revealed satisfied smiles.

Wang Ba was particularly excited.

Because for Jia 15's Bloodline Breakthrough materials, counting the two items promised by Shang Li earlier, now he only needed one more White Dragon Sulfur.

Once these items were gathered, he could initiate Jia 15's breakthrough plan. As long as Jia 15 succeeded, he could enter the third layer of the Linglong Ghost Market and be under its protection.

If possible, he would also like to go to Jin.

Of course, this would be something for the future.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress his excitement. Wang Ba couldn't help but ask Master Kang about ways to acquire 'White Dragon Sulfur'.

Master Kang, who had received so much Chicken Essence, was in a good mood and didn't hesitate to point out:

"This White Dragon Sulfur is one of the accompanying spirit materials of Class III spirit mine and has a number of uses. As far as I know, Zhenling Palace should have some. However, Zhenling Palace has been rather sensitive recently, and I dare not go there recklessly. Oh, right, there should also be some reserves in Huifeng Valley. They need this stuff to create Class III Thunder Seeds and Sea Cover Pills."

"What about outside Yan State?"

Wang Ba couldn't help asking.

"Outside Yan State, it's uncertain. There must be some in Chu, but I've only skirted around its periphery and never visited its market. I heard that there are numerous prominent families there, and barging in recklessly would be extremely dangerous."

Master Kang didn't disguise his words.

There was no need to. Being a Golden Core Craftsman might seem glamorous, but only in a small state like Yan State.

After all, becoming a Golden Core Craftsman is a rare fortune in a state with limited resources. But when compared to top forces like Chu, it is seen as insignificant.

Probably only someone like Zhang Daobai from Zhenling Palace is barely regarded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn't help feeling disappointed.

He had attempted to trade with Huifeng Valley previously, but they simply didn't accept.

Now he could only seek another solution.

"However, I can introduce you to some of my friends who might be able to help."

Seeing that Wang Ba seemed troubled, Master Kang immediately spoke.

"Oh? I appreciate that, Master Kang!"

Wang Ba couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Those who Golden Core Craftsmen value are usually other Golden Core Craftsmen.

When a Golden Core Craftsman helps, things will certainly become much easier.

The two of them immediately agreed on a time.

Afterwards, Master Kang didn't rush to leave. As a Rogue Cultivator, it seemed that he seldom had the opportunity to have leisurely chats with others, and he found Wang Ba to be very likeable. After Bu Chan brewed the spirit tea, he began to chat with Wang Ba while drinking tea.

They started from discussing the tastes of the seventeen kinds of aromatic spirit wines popular in Yan State, then moved on to the situation in the Fenglin Continent, and finally came back to the situation in Yan State.

"The Xuli Sect really made a fortune this time!"

Master Kang suddenly sighed.

Wang Ba couldn't help but get curious, "Why do you say that?"

"Hehe, do you know about the Tianmen Cult to the west? It's one of The Three Danger Lands."

Upon hearing the name that was almost forgotten, but always sent a chill down his spine,

Wang Ba could not help but feel tight in his heart. However, he managed to maintain a composed expression, "I've heard about it. Wasn't the Tianmen Cult supposed to have disappeared long ago? What happened? Did they reappear?"

"Not quite. That territory had previously been seized by a school called the Wujing School. The representatives of the Four Great Sects had all gone to the Wei State frontline before and nobody could stop them. By the time the wars ended, the Wujing School had already been firmly established."

Master Kang sighed, "The Wujing School was lucky. They coincidentally chose a time when Zhang Daobai of Zhenling Palace was absent, and the situation in Yan State was extremely tense, so nobody cared about them."

"Unfortunately, they didn't foresee that Lin Boyue from Xuli Sect had been eyeing the Wujing School all along. Everyone thought the Xuli Sect wouldn't make a move, but Lin Boyue did. The school's defenses were lax and, caught off guard, the Wujing School was uprooted with hardly any losses."

"Now, the only two Golden Core Craftsmen in their sect have been placed under suppression. In just one night, they fell from being revered as the Master of a Sect and Elders to working hard like slaves… The Xuli Sect is getting more and more like the Demon Dao!"

"Only the Golden Core Craftsmen know about these matters, and the news hasn't reached your level yet."

Just a few sentences outlined earth-shattering upheavals, causing Wang Ba's heart to sink without a thought.

Because he immediately thought of something deeper.

The reason why the three sects in Yan State were able to cooperate was partly because of the enormous threat of Zhenling Palace, forcing them to work together.

Another reason was that the gap in strength between the three sects wasn't that large.

If there was an imbalance in power among the three sects, given that Zhenling Palace currently lacked the power to expand and didn't pose enough of a threat, there might be internal changes within the three sects instead.

Chapter 372: Chapter 20 No Ordinary People In Sight_3

It's like three sheep fighting against a black bear.

Now that the black bear is getting old, the original leader of the sheep has suddenly grown into a hungry wolf.

Under such circumstances, can the cooperation between the three sects continue?

What would be the impact on Wang Ba if this continues?

And what would be the impact on Wang Ba if it can't continue?

For a moment, Wang Ba's heart was heavy.

He never expected that just half a year of comfort, and the situation had changed so much.

His heart suddenly became urgent.

But he patiently chatted with Master Kang for a while, and hinted that his fellow Daoist should come over sooner.

Master Kang immediately made a new appointment with Wang Ba, which was earlier than the previous one.

Afterwards, the exhausted Master Kang finally left.

"Senior Brother…"

Bu Chan approached Wang Ba with a worried look on her face.

She wasn't excluded from their conversation, and with her intelligence, she naturally realized the situation that might arise.

Wang Ba grasped her hand, a gentle expression appeared on his face:

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Bu Chan nodded, then shook her head and said seriously:

"Senior Brother, I want to learn magic spells."

Wang Ba was startled, then laughed and comforted her: "You don't need to worry, we've been through the most difficult times, now it's just a minor situation."

However, Bu Chan still shook her head firmly:

"I believe Senior Brother can solve it, it's just that most of the people Senior Brother faces now are probably Golden Core masters. I don't want to be a burden to Senior Brother. Even mastering one more spell can help Senior Brother at a critical moment."

"How can you be a burden? You're also a Foundation Establishment Cultivative…"

Wang Ba wanted to persuade her further, but was stopped by her determined eyes.

After a while, he helpless shook his head and said, "Alright, what do you want to learn?"

Bu Chan wisely handed over the difficult question to Wang Ba.

At last, Wang Ba chose a few Class II spells for Bu Chan.

"Stone Copper Body", "Create Vines", and "Life-saving."

Bu Chan, like him, possesses the same three types of Spiritual Roots: Gold, Mu, and Water.

"This 'Stone Copper Body' can temporarily increase your physical strength, combined with your body that's nearly at the stage of Body Cultivation, it can greatly utilize your advantage."

"Create Vines can produce vines that compare to a Class II Magic Tool within a short time, which can be used to restrain your opponent…"

"Life-saving is simple, it quickly draws the vitality of surrounding creatures to heal physical injuries."

"Are these… too difficult?"

Despite her desire to learn magic spells, Bu Chan was a bit unconfident when she saw the complex spells Wang Ba had chosen for her.

She knows about cultivating Spirit Plants, but when it comes to learning spells, she really lacks confidence.

Wang Ba chuckled.

He may not have confidence in many things, but he's a master of Five Elements Spells!

With his proficiency in Five Elements Spells, teaching Bu Chan is really too simple.

He immediately recorded the true meanings of the three spells in a Jade Slip and handed it to Bu Chan, then began to instruct her meticulously.

Three days later.

In the grassland.

"Senior Brother, am I too slow?"

Bu Chan lowered her head a little uneasily.

Wang Ba looked at the calf-high vine on the ground, and said with a strained smile:

"Ahem, no, your progress is the fastest I've ever seen!"

"Just keep practicing, just keep practicing."

"Oh."

Without doubting Wang Ba's words, Bu Chan obediently nodded her head and then began to practice again.

The Spirit Beasts in the grassland variously stood or lay around, watching Bu Chan practice.

Even the Wu Monkey King, who had been cultivating for thousands of years, curiously watched for a while.

What made Wang Ba especially nervous was that Wu Monkey King looked at them for a few times, and then casually made a move. A large number of vines rose from the ground…

Wang Ba: …

Seeing Bu Chan still practicing hard, Wang Ba was a bit helpless.

One could only say that no one is perfect; even someone as elegant and intelligent as Bu Chan has her weaknesses.

But seeing Bu Chan being so diligent, he didn't want to disappoint her.

He quickly went to Wu Monkey King and scolded him in a low voice. Wu Monkey King scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Why was he being scolded for learning fast?

However, seeing how quickly Wu Monkey King mastered the spells, a plan that he almost forgot was dug up again. He directly chose a few spells and taught them to Wu Monkey King.

To Wang Ba's surprise, Wu Monkey King easily learned three Class II spells. His speed made Wang Ba reluctantly look at Bu Chan, who was still trying to master her first spell.

One could only say that not only was there a big gap between people, but also between man and monkey.

However, before he could continue teaching Wu Monkey King, someone knocked on his door again.

"Is Mr. Shen in? Golden Core Rogue Cultivators Yuan Wenzhi and Zhang Tailai have arrived as promised."
