Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Chapter 376: Chapter 21 – One Stone, Three Birds_4

Several Golden Core cultivators frowned their brows in particular.

Spirit rice is the lifeline of the Xuli Sect.

However, after the market for spirit rice became established and they all became engrossed in higher-level conflicts, cultivators at foundation establishment stage took over the tasks related to spirit rice, so they were actually not aware of the situation.

The main reason being that all this only happened over half a year, they simply didn’t have enough time to understand the situation.

“This is absolutely unacceptable! We cannot allow others to dominate the spirit rice market! We must limit this Shen Fu!”

A Golden Core cultivator couldn’t help but speak up.

“Heh, how would limiting him help? On the contrary, I think we should recruit this Shen Fu into the sect so that he can pass down the art of refining spirit chicken essence.”

Another Golden Core cultivator spoke up.

“That could be a good idea.”

“That’s right, if he passes down his methods, we could learn the art of refining spirit chicken essence.”

The group nodded their heads in agreement.

However, Wang Tang poured cold water on their enthusiasm:

“I have approached Shen Fu several times, with both clear and subtle invitations to join the sect. However, he has been elusive, always avoiding directly addressing the issue. Furthermore, from his attitude, I fear he still harbors a strong sense of caution towards us in the Xuli Sect.”

“I fear taming him will be difficult.”

“This…”

The Golden Core cultivators were suddenly left speechless.

You can’t blame Shen Fu for this. After all, the Xuli Sect has had a bad reputation among rogue cultivators for many years. Any sensible person would not dare to let their guard down against the Xuli Sect.

In the past, the Xuli Sect, Huifeng Valley, and Danlong School all had similar reputations. They weren’t friendly towards rogue cultivators, but they were not notorious either.

It was only after they began implementing policies of oppression that the Xuli Sect’s reputation among rogue cultivators gradually worsened.

It was Sect Master Lin Boyue of the Xuli Sect who proposed these oppressive policies.

There’s a rumor that his family was wiped out by a vicious rogue cultivator, leaving only him behind. That’s why he’s so hostile towards rogue cultivators; skinning them, breaking their bones, and squeezing out every last drop from them.

Although this rumor has many holes, it does highlight Lin Boyue’s ruthlessness towards rogue cultivators.

When Lin Boyue heard Wang Tang’s report, he shook his head slightly and said,

“This Shen Fu could rise so quickly and even make Golden Core cultivators humble themselves, and seek him out personally, he indeed is a rare talent.”

“Even I didn’t see this coming.”

“Such a person is dangerous, but it would be a pity to simply deal with him straight away. Let’s give him another chance.”

“Junior Brother Zhuang, Wang Tang.”

When their names were called, Cultivator Zhuang stepped forward immediately.

“Zhuang Yi reporting.”

“Disciple here.”

Wang Tang’s spirit lifted, and he also stepped forward immediately.

“Hmm, the two of you go to Huifeng Valley and Danlong School. The three major sects, need to discuss together. For half a year, we have not taken any poundage from this spirit chicken essence, now, it’s time.”

Lin Boyue looked calm, not showing any emotion.

The cultivator with the surname Zhuang was slightly startled, but then immediately understood.

But he hesitated and said, “Sect Master, now that we have absorbed the Wujing School and our strength has greatly increased, why should we care about the thoughts of Huifeng Valley and Danlong School? We might as well directly approach Shen Fu and that Wen Yong, and monopolize this source of spirit chicken essence!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Tang by the side wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Lin Boyue sighs with some resignation, “Junior Brother Zhuang, it’s precisely because we’ve become so powerful that we now need to show our weakness.”

“Our strength is, after all, not yet at a level where we can completely dominate the other two sects.”

“In fact, if it were not for the fact that Wujing School possessed something that our sect greatly needed, I would not have made a move against Wujing School at this juncture, and thus arousing the suspicion of Huifeng Valley and Danlong School.”

“Moreover, if Li Xiangyun comes looking for trouble, they won’t be able to blame us solely.”

“And how much could our share from spirit chicken essence be? It’s merely a method of testing Shen Fu, to see how many connections he can mobilize, and to push him a little. If we’re always polite to him, he’ll inevitably think that the Xuli Sect is easy to bully.”

“Elder Zhuang, this is Sect Master’s plan to kill three birds with one stone.”

Wang Tang couldn’t help but remind him from the side.

At this, Cultivator Zhuang had an epiphany.

He was not embarrassed at all. After all, they were long accustomed to their Sect Master’s schemes. Most of them were too lazy to think for themselves.

With these thoughts in mind, the cultivator with the surname Zhuang and Wang Tang left the Xuli Sect together.

And this scene also occurred in Huifeng Valley and Danlong School.

…

“Elder brother! Elder brother! I’ve mastered it!”

Inside Wang Ba’s mansion.

On the lawn, Bu Chan couldn’t help crying out in delight.

Zhang Tailai didn’t live in Wang Ba’s mansion but in a lane across the street.

The distance is very close, so Wang Ba only needs to send a message and he could invite Zhang Tailai over.

Zhang Tailai himself asked for this, saying it was what Yuan Wenzhi had suggested before he left.

Hearing this, Wang Ba was so overwhelmed with gratitude for Yuan Wenzhi that he was at a loss for words.

After all, he needs protection, but if he had to sacrifice all his privacy, it would be quite troublesome.

Yuan Wenzhi’s arrangement was perfect to the point of entering Wang Ba’s heart.

So, Wang Ba once again started to madly create Class I and Class II spirit chicken essence.

At the same time, Bu Chan was constantly practicing spells.

Wang Ba glanced at the spell Bu Chan was practicing.

Although she was a bit clumsy, she was able to successfully cast the ‘Create Vines’ spell.

“Little sister really is talented. It took me a long time to learn this spell.”

Wang Ba, against his conscience, gave her a thumbs up.

Then Wu Monkey King who was meditating not far away couldn’t help but open an eye and looked at Wang Ba incredulously.

Then he bowed his head and thought, waved his hand at will, and a forest of green vines sprang up in the blink of an eye.

Wang Ba frowned, quickly blocked Bu Chan’s line of sight, and berated Wu Monkey King.

Wu Monkey King squatted on the ground feeling a bit aggrieved and deeply confused.

Time passed quickly.

On the day the second layer of the Linglong Ghost Market was about to open.

People from the three major sects suddenly came to visit.
