Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 555 - 17 Xuanwu Market_2

Chapter 555 -17 Xuanwu Market_2

The guide provided information on the layout of the market and the speciality products of many shops.

It gave detailed information on things like Elixirs and Talismans.

It wasn’t expensive. Wang Ba, who was not short of Spirit Stones, immediately bought one for two medium grade Spirit Stones.

With the mental prowess of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he quickly went over the guide in his head.

Wang Ba picked a shop he was most interested in directly from the guide.

“Shuixi Peak Spirit Food Shop.”

This Spirit Food Shop had many varieties of spirit food. It was said to be co-owned by cultivators of the Spirit Food Department.

Wang Ba immediately headed straight to the Spirit Food Shop according to the guide.

What surprised Wang Ba was that he actually saw a cultivator from the Spirit Food Department who looked somewhat familiar in there.

Seeing him, the other party also showed a surprised expression:

“Deacon Wang.”

“Deacon Kong, is this shop yours…”

Wang Ba showed a trace of surprise.

Deacon Kong’s full name is Kong Yao. Seeing Wang Ba’s slight surprise, he immediately greeted him with a full-face smile.

“What a rare visitor. Deacon Wang, please come in.”

Wang Ba didn’t refuse, following Kong Yao into the back of the shop.

The inside wasn’t spacious. Several boy servants were busy. Seeing Kong Yao and Wang Ba, they quickly paid their respects.

Kong Yao waved them away casually, sat down with Wang Ba, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile:

“What makes Deacon Wang want to visit a Spirit Food Shop? We usually don’t lack spirit food.”

As a cultivator in the Spirit Food Department, one handles all kinds of spirit food daily. Normally, as long as you don’t treat spirit food as a primary cultivation resource, it should be enough. You can even sell it occasionally.

Therefore, cultivators from the Spirit Food Department generally don’t go shopping in the Spirit Food Shop in the market.

Wang Ba hesitated, but then decided not to hide anything. After all, they were all from the Spirit Food Department. If things went according to his plan, people would know sooner or later, so he said:

“I have some kinds of spirit food here that the Sect doesn’t have. I came here this time intending to understand the market prices, so I can sell them.”

Upon hearing this, Kong Yao became interested:

“Spirit Food that the Sect doesn’t have? Could it be new recipes?”

Wang Ba smiled, but didn’t say anything.

Kong Yao slapped his forehead: “I’ve been so reckless.”

Randomly asking about another person’s secret is taboo in any situation.

He had simply been too excited and misspoke.

Kong Yao immediately said with a serious look: “If Deacon Wang trusts me, I can make an evaluation of the selling price of the spirit food.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba swiftly took out an Essence of Spirit Chicken.

Kong Yao received the white porcelain bottle and immediately took out a thin needle with his sleeves folded back, inserted it into the bottle’s mouth, and took out a drop.

He then gently put it in his mouth and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

Then his eyes quickly opened, appearing startled:

“This spirit food provides both a boost to the Essence Yuan, Qi, Blood, and the Soul Power, and it also has some effect of breaking through a bottleneck. Even for early-stage Golden Core cultivators below Class V, it should have some effect… Each effect alone is not rare, but something with such a comprehensive effect is indeed infrequent.”

“Deacon Wang, is the main ingredient for this recipe easy to get?”

Wang Ba thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.

The main ingredient for Spirit Chicken Essence was naturally the Class II upper-grade Spirit Chicken. The fact that he had gathered so much was entirely due to the hard work of Jia 15 and Jia 17.

If he relied on natural reproduction alone, it would take eons for a few to naturally be born. As a material for spirit food, it was completely unsuitable.

After all, the effect of most spirit foods is usually only noticeable after long-term usage.

Seeing Wang Ba shaking his head, Kong Yao couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed:

“The main ingredient is difficult to obtain… then the value of this recipe decreases significantly. Even if you offered it to the Sect, the merit you would receive would probably not be too high… However, if this spirit food were to be sold in the market, I estimate it would be worth 45 to 50 medium-grade Spirit Stones. It’s a pity that it cannot be supplied regularly. Otherwise, there would certainly be many buyers.”

“Forty-five to fifty medium-grade Spirit Stones…”

Wang Ba nodded slightly.

The price was lower compared to when he was in Yan State.

But considering that resources were not scarce in the Wanxiang Sect and the surrounding environment was also easier for cultivation, a slightly lower price could be understood.

According to this price, the task he had completed last time, exchanging four Spirit Chicken Essences for two points of merit, one point of merit was approximately equal to one high-grade Spirit Stone.

However, what caught Wang Ba’s attention was the value of the recipe mentioned by Kong Yao.

“May I ask Deacon Kong, if the spirit food recipe is offered to the Sect, how is the merit reward determined?”

“It is a bit complicated.”

Kong Yao didn’t hold back from Wang Ba and explained:

“The type of spirit food, the strength of its effect, what stage of cultivator it can benefit, as well as the ease of obtaining its main ingredient, and the difficulty of refining it, are all important factors the Sect would consider.”

“Of course, what the Sect values most is the effect, and whether the main ingredient is easy to obtain.”

“If there is no effect, it’s meaningless for the main ingredient to be easily obtained, and vice versa.”

“Although your spirit food has a fair effect, if the main ingredient is difficult to obtain, it may not be taken seriously by the Sect. The merit you would get might not be very high.”

Wang Ba suddenly understood.

Kong Yao’s meanings were simple, even if offered to the Sect, the Sect would also determine the merit reward based on the applicability of the recipe.

Wang Ba suddenly thought of something and asked, “What about that ‘Jade Gel’ recipe that Minister Cui researched…”
