Having conducted extensive research on the Mountain Moving Ape, Wang Ba had already drafted a prescription for a Bloodline Breakthrough for the beast, making him a semi-expert on the matter.
After comparing with the other’s cultivation approach, he was suddenly inspired. According to the circumstances of the Mountain Moving Ape, he rapidly adjusted his previous prescription. He then listed out the needed spirit materials, Spiritual Medicines, and other supplies, and had Liu Yaodong help him find them.
Liu Yaodong immediately leveraged his extensive connections and rallied his peers for assistance.
Shortly after, Wang Ba made many gains from the stalls selling Spirit Beasts.
He was exposed to many Spirit Beasts he had never seen before, ones that could only be found in Song and Yan, which broadened his horizons.
After spending quite a bit of chicken essence, he managed to secure a good number of them.
However, most were of Class I Spirit Beasts.
The prices for Class II Spirit Beasts were generally high. The previous Mountain Moving Ape was cheap only because it was limited by the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, resulting in a mortality rate of 50%, hence the price couldn’t rise.
A normal, lower grade Class II beast would cost at least eighty to ninety Spirit Stones at a minimum.
The middle-grade ones had their prices doubled.
Wang Ba, however, did not see any upper grade or top grade Class II Spirit Beasts.
Either they were too rare, or they were bought out early by others.
Regardless, Wang Ba was very satisfied with the Class I Spirit Beasts, as they could greatly enhance his experience as a Spiritual Cook and expedite his learning of the second step of cultivation.
After a while, Liu Yaodong squeezed through the crowd and brought Wang Ba a pleasant surprise.
“Senior, I just found a Fragrance Bee that was very similar to what you described, would you take a look and see if it’s the right one?” he asked.
Wang Ba immediately followed him to a stall that sold Spirit Insects, and sure enough, he saw a hive of Fragrance Bees.
Fortunately, unless Spirit Insects had certain unique effects, they were generally not expensive.
Moreover, they were considered Class I creatures.
He instantly paid in Spirit Stones and made the purchase.
Liu Yaodong also brought all the spirit materials that Wang Ba had ordered earlier.
Wang Ba nodded in satisfaction. With these materials, he only needed to take out some of his supplies from the chicken farm, and he could begin cultivating the Mountain Moving Ape.
After the cultivation, the Mountain Moving Ape should be able to successfully advance to a middle grade Class II status. After storing enough Lifespan to stimulate maturation, it might even further progress after surviving the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
While browsing a bit longer, he unexpectedly found a Class II upper grade flying Magic Tool at a stall, and bought it without any hesitation.
A flying Magic Tool was just as crucial to him as a defensive tool.
If he couldn’t win, he needed to run, and running required swift speed and evasion.
As a result, Wang Ba drained all his savings.
He couldn’t even squeeze out a single Spirit Stone from his pockets, except for some Essence from the Spirit Turtle reserved for his own cultivation, as well as a number of Magic Tools, talismans, and Cultivation materials he would need.
Fortunately, he had accomplished what he desired before he came here, and his results far exceeded his expectations.
He planned to wait until others finished peddling before opening his own stall to sell some Spirit Beasts to recoup his losses.
However, Wang Ba abruptly froze.
The slightly plump cultivator walking towards him also displayed a shocked expression on his face.
After a slight pause.
Neither of them spoke.
Wang Ba politely presented a faint smile, slightly nodded his head, and walked towards the other party at a relaxed pace.
The slightly chubby cultivator had white hair and beard and a similarly surprised smile on his face, as if he’d unexpectedly encountered a familiar stranger. He walked towards Wang Ba.
The two brushed past each other.
The moment they separated.
The smile faded from Wang Ba’s face.
He immediately made a decision.
Leave!
Leave immediately!
Because he recognized the identity of this slightly plump cultivator, who was incredibly the ‘Master Gao’ he and Zhu Jianyi had encountered in Linglong Ghost Market before.
Encountering this man at this time was suspiciously coincidental and raised an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
He felt behind him, realizing the man was not following him. He immediately forced himself into the crowd and started moving towards the exit of the Ghost Market.
Meanwhile, in another direction.
Li Qu gently touched a small grey spot on his palm and a gleam flashed in his eyes, carrying a hint of amusement.
“No matter how cunning you are, you can’t escape the clinging Musk Scent!”
