Chapter 375: 21: Killing 3 Birds with 1 Stone_3



Being protected by a Golden Core Master, how could he let such a rare opportunity pass.

Though it was their first meeting, Wang Ba felt there was nothing about him that could be of interest to a Golden Core Master.

Even a Class II Spirit Chicken Essence, in the eyes of Yuan Wenzhi, might not have much allure.

“So let it be agreed then, dear brother, please stay here and ensure Shen’s safety, I will return in a few days.”

Yuan Wenzhi earnestly instructed Zhang Tailai.

Zhang Tailai, who was given instructions in a few words, couldn’t help but scratch his head, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Despite that, he nodded seriously and said, “Brother, don’t worry! I’ll definitely keep him safe!”

Then, Yuan Wenzhi nodded at Wang Ba and quickly disappeared at the entrance.

Looking at the departing figure of Yuan Wenzhi, Wang Ba couldn’t help but sigh.

This indeed accorded with his imaginary picture of a true Master Cultivator!

However, he quickly composed himself, looking at Zhang Tailai, his eyes couldn’t hide his joy.

The Xuli Sect.

The mountain peaks loomed in the clouds.

Within a palace at the top of one peak.

The cultivators of the Xuli Sect gathered, seemingly discussing something.

Suddenly, a sound transmission talisman landed on the formation outside the palace.

An attending Golden Core Master sensed the sound transmission talisman, raised his hand to beckon, the formation opened a gap, and the sound transmission talisman instantly fell into his hand.

After scanning it with his spiritual sense, the Golden Core Master suddenly frowned.

“Brother Zhuang, is there any matter?”

At the top of the palace, sitting cross-legged on a futon, was a slim middle-aged cultivator.

He wore a jade hairpin, a Daoist robe, his gaze profound like an abyss, looking upon the Golden Core Master who just received the sound transmission talisman.

Master Zhuang immediately stood up and started to report:

“Sect Master, the disciples guarding Yong’an City reported that two more Golden Core Rogue Cultivators visited Shen Fu not long ago”.

Upon hearing this news, Wang Tang, one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, could not help but perk his ears up.

And on hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the face of the Sect Master of the Xuli Sect.

“If I remember correctly, it seems that Kang Chengwan visited the said Shen Fu just a few days ago, right?”

“So, who came within these few days again?”

“Who are they?”

“Sect Master is right, Kang Chengwan came here three days ago, now the ones who came are Yuan Wenzhi and Li Tailai, the two brothers.”

Master Zhuang hastily replied.

The Xuli Sect Master looked thoughtful:

“Yuan Wenzhi and Li Tailai … The two of them seemed to have gained quite a lot in Wei State. I thought they would go into retreat for cultivation, but unexpectedly, they got involved with Shen Fu.”

“Because of the Spirit Chicken Essence?”

After some thought, he couldn’t help showing curiosity:

“Is the Spirit Chicken Essence made by Shen Fu really so attractive?”

Zhuang Xingzhen Ren commented objectively upon hearing this:

“I tried it once.”

“In terms of its spiritual energy efficacy, it doesn’t offer much benefit to us cultivators at the Golden Core Realm, unless it is in a large quantity.”

“However, this Spirit Chicken Essence can directly nourish the soul and does indeed provide a bit of help for breakthroughs in our realm. It’s quite normal that those Golden Core Rogue Cultivators lacking Class III Elixirs hold these Spirit Chicken Essences in high regard.”

Hearing these explanations, the Xuli Sect Master couldn’t help but frown:

“In that case, has the influence of this Shen Fu expanded to Golden Core Masters?”

Master Zhuang hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The face of the Xuli Sect Master suddenly turned somewhat solemn.

Seeing Wang Tang eager to speak but hesitating to do so.

He immediately said:

“Wang Tang, you say what you know.”

“Yes!”

With permission from the Sect Master of the Xuli Sect, Wang Tang immediately stepped forward and in the gaze of the other Golden Core Masters, said:

“According to my observations, since the Class II Spirit Chicken Essence was released by the Shanli’s Changyi Society three months ago, aside from ‘Master Cheng’ of our sect who has visited to investigate, there have been five to six Golden Core Masters who have visited this Shen Fu one after another.”

“If we count Yuan Wenzhi and Li Tailai who came today, this number becomes even higher.”

“This is not even counting the numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators.”

“It can be said that Shen Fu’s influence in Yan State is growing day by day. Not only the Rogue Cultivators but many Sect cultivators also greatly admire him because of the Spirit Chicken Essence.”

“Perhaps in no time, his status in Yan State will not just be equivalent to Golden Core Realm, but surpass it!”

Upon hearing Wang Tang’s presentation, the several Golden Core Masters in the palace showed a thoughtful expression.

The Xuli Sect Master sat at the top, his face revealing no emotion.

Wang Tang, however, hadn’t finished. He continued, saying:

“While Shen Fu’s Spirit Chicken Essence is popular in Yong’an City, our sales of spiri rice and spiri rice essence has been visibly declining.”

“As far as I know, as early as a few years ago, the spiri rice market was impacted by the Spirit Chicken Essence. However, since the Changyi Society didn’t release much, it only had a moderate impact.”

“But in the last six months, with a large amount of Spirit Chicken Essence appearing on the market, the revenue from our spiri rice shop in Yong’an City has plummeted by eighty percent!”

“The revenue from Xuli Market has also dropped by more than forty percent.”

“Since we have a long-term supply agreement with Huifeng Valley, Danlong School, and Zhenling Palace, for now, the Rogue Cultivators are not the main customers; our operations have consequently not been greatly affected. But should the spread of the Spirit Chicken Essence persist, who knows if it might replace spiri rice?”

Wang Tang’s words immediately aroused a commotion in the palace.
