Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant-Chapter 604 - 29 Recovery_3

Chapter 604: Chapter 29 Recovery_3

This grand event involves cultivators ranging from Qi Refining stage to Golden Core Craftsman, and it is divided into the fighting and arts arenas.

In the fighting arena, cultivators of the same class duke it out, with the winner advancing to the next round. Should they secure a position in the top three of their current class, they could net themselves thousands of Merit as a reward.

This not only tests a cultivator’s self-defense capabilities but also prevents them from receiving too much protection within the Sect and losing their ability to fend for themselves.

By pitting against each other, it ensures that one doesn’t exit the Sect with an inflated realm but without the skills to match it.

The arts arena, on the other hand, is much simpler than the fighting arena. Challenges in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and so forth are set to test the cultivators, with Merit rewards for the winners.

Of course, apart from Merit, there are other rewards as well.

...

For instance, a previous Dao-asking Conference saw the Elixir Cultivator who won first place in Alchemy being rewarded with a Class IV pill furnace magic treasure.

The illustrious rewards from that conference are still talked about in the tea houses.

However, the amount of reward depends on the popularity of the skill in question.

For example, the brewing competition held by the Spirit Wine Peak usually offers a rare Class III distiller’s yeast as the prize.

This is very valuable to those from the Spirit Wine Peak, but to other cultivators, it’s of little use.

Wang Ba doesn’t have much interest in this.

The prizes of the Dao-asking Conference are merely Merit, and although he could use more of those, perhaps due to years of maintaining a low profile, he doesn’t particularly enjoy flaunting his abilities in the public eye.

It gives him a feeling akin to being stripped bare and thrown into a crowd.

Not only does it make him feel unsafe, but also deeply embarrassed.

On his return to Wanfa Peak, he made sure to feed his spirit beasts, as usual.

Perhaps due to the fast-approaching birth of her young, Bu Chan, despite being at the Foundation Establishment stage, became unusually tired. Apart from the occasional outing with Gu Wen to enjoy the flowers and browse the market, she barely managed to complete her duties in the spirit field and went off to rest.

Hence, Wang Ba had to feed the spirit beasts by himself.

Soon, he noticed something odd.

“Strange, why hasn’t the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard been coming out to eat recently?”

Wearing a puzzled look, he braved the foul smell and ventured into the cave where the Stone Lizards resided.

The cave was originally small, meant solely as a resting place for the Stone Lizards.

However, the Stone Lizards naturally prescribe to a burrowing lifestyle, so the cave grew longer and more complex over time.

If Wang Ba didn’t have his Spiritual Sense to guide him, it would have been challenging to locate the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard in the convoluted cave.

However, when his Spiritual Sense swept over the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard, he couldn’t help but exhibit a hint of surprise and realization.

“No wonder… it has laid another clutch of eggs.”

Briskly navigating the cave, Wang Ba swiftly found the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard.

It looked utterly exhausted.

Next to it, Wang Ba spotted eight white creatures’ eggs.

However, one of the eggs was exceptionally large.

It was more than twice the size of the eggs beside it.

“This is huge!”

Wang Ba hurriedly checked the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard’s reproductive opening and, sure enough, found dried, blackened traces of blood and signs of tearing.

It seems that laying this egg had been quite an ordeal for the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard.

“No wonder it looks so worn out.”

Wang Ba suddenly realized.

He took a closer look at the enormous egg, but even if he put his palms together, it couldn’t encase it fully.

However, the aura emanating from it was much denser than from its surrounding eggs.

“Looks like we’ve got another mutant… I wonder if it’s a short-lived or long-lived species and if it can survive.”

Wang Ba speculated in his mind.

After carefully sensing it for a while, he quickly estimated the time these eggs had been laid based on his past experiences.

“It’s been about three months, so in another month or so, they should hatch?”

The incubation period for the Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard’s eggs is typically around four months.

Of course, this assumes a constant temperature and humidity level. Although the conditions inside the cave could satisfy these requirements to some extent, the temperature was slightly below ideal.

Without a second thought, Wang Ba took the exhausted Ghost-pattern Stone Lizard and its eight eggs away.

Upon passing the pond, he noticed the Wu Monkey King not meditating for once, but instead performing a series of seemingly comical actions that, upon closer inspection, harbored a hint of primitive wildness.

“Has it already started?”

Wang Ba nodded slightly at this.

The actions performed by the Wu Monkey King naturally stemmed from the “Monkey God Nine Changes” cultivation method.

From the looks of it, the Wu Monkey King’s progress was rather satisfactory.

Contrarily, Wang Ba, who was also utilizing a cultivation method leading to Immortal Ascension, found himself still struggling at the start.

Thinking about this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but roll his eyes at himself.

Seeing as Hu Zaixi hasn’t returned yet, there doesn’t seem to be anything Wang Ba could do for the time being besides refining his Mana.

“Right, the Phoenix-feathered Chicken…”

The Class II top grade Phoenix-feathered Chicken is ultimately a bit lacking.

If a Class III Phoenix-feathered Chicken were to be refined into Essence, the youth-restoring effect should be even more pronounced.

Unfortunately, the physique of a Phoenix-feathered Chicken is almost identical to that of a regular chicken; it’s impossible to elevate it to Class III through a Bloodline Breakthrough because it simply couldn’t withstand the Thunder Tribulation.

However, Wang Ba couldn’t come up with a better solution at the moment.
