The man who arrived was graceful and handsome, dressed in white.
It was Dong Qiyu.
He stepped off his flying Magic Tool, his voice arrived before he did:
“Wang, are you busy? Hehe, I’ve come again.”
Wang Ba slowly stood up from the field, his face emotionless as he looked at the other.
However, Dong Qiyu had long since grown used to Wang Ba’s attitude, and with a jovial demeanor, jokingly said:
“Oh dear, don’t blame me. As you know, I need a large amount of spirit food to attempt Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and I have no choice but to make the unseemly request… Wait, you’ve achieved Foundation Establishment?!”
Dong Qiyu, who had hitherto been joking around amiably, became petrified upon feeling the pressure emanating from Wang Ba.
His gaze towards Wang Ba was filled with shock and disbelief!
This poultry farmer had actually achieved Foundation Establishment?
How was that possible?!
Where did he get a Foundation Establishment Pill?
Dong Qiyu couldn’t help but feel shaken inside!
It was simply too difficult to reach Foundation Establishment.
Not only was the process itself fraught with difficulty, but Foundation Establishment Pills were also rare.
The East Saint’s territory had thousands of Heresy Cultivators, but the only ones who had successfully achieved Foundation Establishment were Yan Chi seven years ago, Meng Randao who had luckily obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill two years ago, and one Elixir Cultivator.
The others either hadn’t met the threshold for Foundation Establishment or lacked the necessary Foundation Establishment Pill even if they had.
He did have a Foundation Establishment Pill, but among the three elements of essence, qi, and spirit, his spirit hadn’t yet reached its peak.
Even if he tried to force Foundation Establishment by consuming the pill, his chances of success were less than thirty percent.
Moreover, he had been presenting himself as someone striving for Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment. Unless it was a last resort, he was reluctant to use the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Yan Chi, Meng Randao, and the Elixir Cultivator were all prominent figures among the Heresy Cultivators.
In comparison, Wang Ba was merely able to rear Spirit Chickens. He wasn’t exactly a figure of low status among the Heresy Cultivators, but he was also not particularly remarkable.
If it weren’t for his need for Spirit Chickens, he wouldn’t wish to deal with such unimportant people at all, he would even willingly humble himself.
However, he never would have thought that Wang Ba, a man who he really despised, somehow succeeded in achieving Foundation Establishment.
Watching someone less accomplished than him surpass him was a shock to Dong Qiyu, his smile grew strained.
“Is there something you need?”
Wang Ba simply asked, his face calm.
“Uh…Dao… Elder, congratulations.”
Despite the complexity of his emotions, Wang Ba had now achieved Foundation Establishment, and he had no choice but to humble himself. He dared not be irreverent, becoming much more respectful:
“Junior wishes to purchase some Spirit Chickens from Elder. I’m wondering if you have any left.”
After some consideration, Wang Ba gave a reply that surprised the other:
“What’s your price?”
Upon hearing this, Dong Qiyu couldn’t help but lookup, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, and quickly said:
“5! 5 Spirit Stones each! The more the better!”
After making some calculations, Wang Ba said, “Wait here for me.”
Having said that, he went into the poultry farm.
Dong Qiyu immediately tightened his grip on his hands in joy.
He hadn’t expected such a smooth deal after so many unsuccessful attempts.
After waiting for a while, he saw Wang Ba emerge from the gate, carrying a Storage Bag in his hand.
Though he was already eager to proceed, he still tried hard to suppress his excitement.
He accepted the Storage Bag and scanned it quickly: “One thousand… one thousand five… two thousand!”
A full two thousand chickens!
Dong Qiyu was elated.
This quantity should be enough, right?
“By the way, I also have a Class I, lower grade Spirit Turtle here. It is more effective as spirit food than the Spirit Chicken, and I can give you a discount. Do you want it?” Wang Ba asked Dong Qiyu, who was still looking excited.
However, Dong Qiyu immediately refused without thinking:
“Thankyou, Elder, but this is already enough!”
He immediately took out his Storage Bag, counted out one hundred middlegrade Spirit Stones, and hurriedly handed them to Wang Ba, as if he was afraid Wang Ba would change his mind.
“Elder, I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”
“Hmm.”
With a bow, Dong Qiyu hastily rode his flying Magic Tool, and quickly disappeared over the horizon.
Wang Ba watched Dong Qiyu’s retreating figure, a thoughtful look in his eyes:
“Only wants Spirit Chickens, but not Spirit Turtles…”
Wang Ba didn’t feel too conflicted about selling Spirit Chickens to Dong Qiyu.
He was simply short of Spirit Stones.
He had once been afraid that Dong Qiyu had some hidden troubles that could involve him.
Even if the chance was slight, he didn’t want to be involved in it.
After all, he had nothing he could rely on within Tianmen Cult. In case anything went wrong, there would be no room to manoeuvre.
So he didn’t want to have any connection with Dong Qiyu.
He even stopped selling Spirit Chickens to him.
If it weren’t for his specific situation and need for Spirit Stones to buy Spells, he would never have considered Dong Qiyu.
But times had changed.
Now that he had achieved Foundation Establishment and partly entered the high ranks of Tianmen Cult through his skill in rearing Spirit Chickens.
Although Lu Yuansheng seemed irritated by him, he had no choice but to supply him with resources for rearing Spirit Chickens.
He even gave him a Foundation Establishment Pill to continue breeding Spirit Chickens after Foundation Establishment so as not to waste the resources.
Under these circumstances, as long as Wang Ba wasn’t actively seeking trouble and continued to show progress, proving his worth, he was safe until he reached his Spirit Chicken breeding goal.
