Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

With the support from Bu Chan and the others, the spiritual energy in the one-acre spirit field next to the chicken farm became even more abundant.

The seeds of the Blue Fire Fruit had been sown a few days ago and quickly took root and germinated. The dark soil was now full of green seedlings.

They were growing splendidly.

Wang Ba came to check every day. To prevent being spied on, he had also surrounded the spirit field and covered the chicken farm and the spirit field with a ‘Minor Golden Bell Array’.

Aside from Bu Chan, the others started to visit less frequently after the spirit field stabilized, with Wang Ba’s permission.

After the Spirit Plants grew steadily, their services were no longer needed as much.

They would only come regularly to maintain the formation and spiritual lineage, and help weed the spirit field.

However, the three of them would regularly give a portion of the Spirit Stones they earned in the market to Bu Chan, who was dedicated to raising the Spirit Plants, to make up for his loss.

Seeing the deep friendship among the four of them, Wang Ba felt a bit envious in his heart.

But he knew that he was unlikely to have that chance.

Suppressing his complicated feelings, Wang Ba still persisted in practicing cultivation at the Shidong House every day.

Although the spiritual energy there gradually fell behind his cultivation speed, it was still much denser than that at the chicken farm.

He planned to move to the Mulou House after selling a batch of Spirit Chickens in a while.

However, when he passed by the Mulou House, he ran into two familiar faces coming downstairs.

“Chen and Xu, are you heading out?”

Wang Ba politely greeted them.

Seeing Wang Ba, Chen Mian did not show the enthusiasm as before and looked indifferent. He only slightly nodded.

Mrs.Xu, on the other hand, politely replied:

“Good morning. Wang, you’re here to cultivate again? You’re truly diligent.”

“Hehe, I have limited abilities, that’s all 1 can do.”

Wang Ba wore a gentle smile.

On hearing this, Chen Mian glanced at Wang Ba and said with his hands behind his back:

“Chum, you’re too cautious. With the spiritual energy of the Shidong House, without the help of a benefactor, or a sudden windfall, when can we see eternal life?”

“Remember, the Dao of Cultivation shouldn’t be a solo fight.”

“Take me for example. If it were not for the guidance of Senior Brother Jing Kuang, I am afraid that I would still be stuck in that broken stone cave, how could I have such a situation today?”

“That’s all I wanted to say, you weigh it yourself!”

“Hehe… What you said is very true.”

Wang Ba showed a touch of awkwardness on his face.

Mrs.Xu immediately glared at her partner and said to Wang Ba, “Don’t listen to him. He’s been getting arrogant lately and loves to preach.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Chen actually makes a lot of sense. I’ve learned a lot.”

Wang Ba remained unaffected and politely bade farewell.

Just as he was about to return to the Shidong House, he heard a loud, clear, and pleasant voice in the distance:

“Wang Ba!”

The enormous, crisp, and pleasant voice made the Chen couple, who were not far away, stop unconsciously and look towards the source of the sound.

They saw a figure coming out of the Lingshui Courtyard not far away. Dressed in a red and black dress, coupled with her stunning looks and figure, there was an inexplicable glamorous and eye-catching sense.

“A cultivator from the Tianmen Cult?!”

Chen Mian couldn’t help but contract his pupils.

Mrs.Xu also looked surprised.

Immediately, they both couldn’t help but look at Wang Ba.

But they saw Wang Ba standing there without showing any signs. He looked surprised and then smiled, waving at her:

“Hehe, I haven’t seen you lately.”

What shocked Chen Mian more was that the female cultivator who came out of the Lingshui Courtyard ran toward Wang Ba quickly, lifting her skirt as if the two of them had a great relationship.

Chen Mian couldn’t help but think back to the casual advice he gave Wang Ba just then, and suddenly felt his face burning.

The help of a benefactor?

In the Tianmen Cult, who could be higher than a cultivator from the Tianmen Cult?

Senior Brother Jing Kuang, is now just a Rank II Heresy Cultivator-

Thinking about this, Chen Mian unconsciously sped up his pace.

Although Mrs.Xu was still listening, she was pulled away by Chen Mian.

“I didn’t expect that Daoist Wang would have such a relationship… I wonder why he hasn’t used it.”

After walking some distance away, Mrs.Xu was still shocked by what just happened.

The look on Chen Mian’s face was not so good, and he said coldly: “Heh, maybe it’s just for show. Otherwise, why would Wang continue to cultivate in the Shidong House with such a relationship?”

“That’s true. But maybe Daoist Wang is too shy to bother others… Alas, it’s all because of your mouth. Otherwise, we could have seized the opportunity to say a few words to that female cultivator, and at least recognize each other.”

Mrs.Xu couldn’t help but blame her partner again.

When Chen Mian heard this, he also recovered and looked regretful, “How would I know this little cultivator Wang has this kind of relationship… but speaking of recognizing each other, I always feel that I have seen this female cultivator somewhere before.”

“Did you mess around with some female cultivator behind my back?!”

Mrs.Xu’s eyes conveyed a hint of danger.

Chen Mian instinctively shrank his neck and ended the topic.

“Hehe, my master ordered me to concentrate on my cultivation and not to go out unless I reach Stage VI of Qi Refining.”

Lin Yu laughed and explained why she hadn’t met Wang Ba recently.

Wang Ba immediately made a surprised face: “You have already reached Stage VI of Qi Refining?”

“Nope!”

Lin Yu gave him a glance, “It’s not that easy, especially since I’ve switched to a cultivation method from within the sect. Right now, I’ve only reached Qi Refining Stage V!”

She then broke into a smug smile:

“Hehe, the master really dotes on me. Only after my persistent pleading did he allow me to go out and get some fresh air.”

“Ah, I can only go out for a bit. I have to go back into closed-door cultivation soon… In the past, I always felt that I didn’t have enough spiritual lineage to use. These days, I have a surplus, and yet, I feel bored, alas!”

Listening to Lin Yu’s somewhat exasperating vexations, Wang Ba, to his surprise, found himself a tad envious.

Comparison could indeed be the thief of joy.

He himself was still toiling over the rent for Mulou House and worried about spirit stones, while she had grown weary of staying in Lingshui Courtyard all day long.

And just within a few months, she swiftly advanced from Qi Refining Stage III to Qi Refining Stage V. This fast progression was something Wang Ba could not help but feel envious about.

Although his daily consumption of Spirit Chicken, coupled with the cultivation in Shidong House, had brought him to the brink of breaking through to Stage II of Qi Refining, his progress seemed insignificant when compared to Lin Yu’s.

The two chatted idly for a while until they quickly ran out of topics.

After all, one was struggling at the bottom tier of the Tianmen Cult while the other was indulged by her master. Their shared experiences were limited to their time in the East Saint Sect.

Wang Ba sensed this and ended the conversation before it could become awkward for Lin Yu.

“We’ll see each other next time.”

Lin Yu revealed a sweet smile on her face.

Wang Ba nodded while laughing, yet, despite her captivating beauty, he felt no stirrings in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Lin Yu and returning to Shidong House, he resumed his monotonous yet fulfilling cultivation.

Half a month later.

In Shidong House.

[Current Lifespan -8.7 years]

[Remaining Lifespan 3891.5 years]

“Qi Refining Stage III…”

Wang Ba opened his eyes, and within the dim cave, a trace of radiance flickered.

The cultivation results of the four Spirit Roots talent were somewhat better than he had imagined; this, coupled with consuming Spirit Chickens every day and the absence of a spiritual lineage, meant his resources for cultivation were better than most cultivators.

After all, regular cultivators would not dare to eat Spirit Chickens every day.

Moreover, because of his ability to use lifespan to break through, he didn’t really need to linger at the bottlenecks that often slowed down ordinary cultivators. He forged straight ahead using his lifespan.

This sped up his progress to the point where it wasn’t much different from many three Spirit Roots cultivators.

In fact, if a three Spirit Roots cultivator lingered too long at a bottleneck, Wang Ba might even overtake them.

Of course, this didn’t make Wang Ba complacent.

On the contrary, he attempted to cultivate once more.

However, after a while, he wrinkled his brow.

“It seems 1 really need to change locations. The concentration of spiritual energy here is severely lacking…”

With this thought, he wasted no time. He got up and inspected the cave to make sure he wasn’t leaving anything behind, then he promptly left. At the administration office of Shidong House, he managed the formalities of moving out.

Although there were still a few days left on the lease, Wang Ba didn’t mind.

He returned to the chicken farm and stood in front of the spirit field for a while.

By now, the growth of the Blue Fire Fruit trees in the spirit field was well underway, and the young trees stood neatly in the field.

Bu Chan didn’t have to come every day; a regular watering schedule, constant replenishment of chicken manure fertilizer, and the removal of weeds could ensure the healthy growth of fruit trees.

Wang Ba sometimes stood by Bu Chan, watching. In the process, he also learned some methods of nurturing spirit plants and enriching spirit fields.

Of course, he didn’t plan to invest his energy in spirit plants.

The fact that his lifespan moving ability was ineffective for spirit plants ensured that he wouldn’t have too much advantage in this field.

Therefore, apart from cultivating, he focused more of his energy on the chicken farm.

“Eh, why did Jia 9 come out?”

Just as he entered the chicken farm, Wang Ba spotted Jia 9’s extravagantly long tail feather and brilliant plumage.

Generally, compared to roosters, hens should be a bit more dull in appearance.

But Jia 9 seemed to be from an entirely different breed.

This celestial of chickens spotted Wang Ba and fluttered its colorful wings, quickly flying to his side, rubbing its alluring little face against him.

“Cluck!”

This immediately led the roost with the male Spirit Chickens.

Surprisingly, Wang Ba had no intention of getting cozy with Jia 9. He quickly headed behind the small wooden house and found that all four eggs laid by Jia 9 had hatched. The four fluffy little ones were stumbling around looking for their mother, unaware that their irresponsible mother had flown away.

Wang Ba hurriedly tested the four little ones with the Spirit Light Talisman. As expected, all four offspring of Jia 9 were medium-grade spirit chickens.

“After a few days, I’ll infuse them with some lifespan.”

Wang Ba caught Jia 9 and prepared some feed for her and her chicks.

However, Jia 9 was preoccupied with grooming its feathers, showing no signs of maternal instincts.

Wang Ba understood. After all, Jia 9 was only half a year old. Even though it had matured quickly because of the lifespan, it was still a child in essence.

Its ability to conscientiously hatch its eggs showed a great deal of maternal instinct already.

With no other choice, Wang Ba had to personally teach them to eat. Surprisingly, the little ones learned quickly, and soon they were able to find their own food.

After tidying up the chicken farm, he took a batch of low-grade Spirit Chickens, whose lifespan had been infused, to the marketplace and exchanged them for 30 spirit stones.

Adding to his previous savings, he now had about fifty to sixty stones.

With these spirit stones, he headed to Mulou House.

Much to his surprise, at the Deacon’s office of Mulou House, he ran into the old lady who called herself ‘Long’er’ again..
