Chicken farm.

Wang Ba looked at the Spiritual Root Talisman flickering with earthy yellow, watery blue, and dark green light in his hand, and slowly exhaled.

There was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Thanks to the large-scale, high frequency cultivation of lower-grade Spirit Chickens for the production of chicken essence over the past year or so, he has accumulated a substantial amount of lifespan, even after deducting the part consumed by the premature growth of Spirit Chickens, breakthrough in Qi Refining stage and spell breakthroughs.

He finally amassed twenty thousand not long ago.

After spending 18432 years worth of lifespan, he successfully broke through to the twelfth level of the Strong Body Sutra.

What delighted him was that the Fire Spirit Root in the original four Spirit Roots was quickly divided by the other three spirit roots. Now, the Water Spirit Root is still the most dazzling among them, with as many as eight light beams. The Wood Spiritual Root is second, with four beams.

The Earth Spirit Root is the poorest, with three beams.

Having three types of Spirit Roots indicates that his Strong Body Sutra has not yet reached the thirteenth level, but his qualification based on Spirit Roots has already reached the middle grade.

After some thought, Wang Ba concluded that the reason his qualification was better than expected was probably because he had consistently eaten Spirit Chicken for extended periods.

Subtle influences over time improved his physical qualification.

He quickly practiced the Ren Water Four Tactics and was delighted to find that the disappearance of the Fire Spirit Root did not have too much impact.

He could still cultivate the method, but since the Fire Style Mana had been devoured by the Mana of other attributes, he could no longer cultivate the ‘Renshui Divine Light’.

However, Wang Ba didn’t care much about it. No matter how powerful the Renshui Divine Light technique was, its power could only be demonstrated at the Qi Refining stage. Any casual spell by a Foundation Establishment Competitor would be far beyond the power of Renshui Divine Light.

In addition to these, he found his cultivation speed had increased by over 10% again.

He reckoned that he only needed to cultivate for another month or two to smoothly touch the bottleneck.

The Qi Refining Stage IX was getting closer and closer.

With the improvement in Spirit Root qualification and acceleration in cultivation progress, Wang Ba’s mood also improved significantly.

Telling the truth, Wang Ba certainly felt happy for Yan Clan cultivator’s meteoric rise, but there were inevitable feelings of envy and frustration in his heart.

Sometimes, he wondered if he would have established the foundation already if he, like Yan Clan cultivator, had switched to cultivating Demon Dao techniques.

But such emotions did not affect Wang Ba, he chose to progress at his own pace.

Of course, there were undeniable sour feelings at times, but that was common human nature.

He stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body after a long period of sitting, and then casually strolled out of the log cabin.

Looking at the well-kept chicken farm managed by Bu Chan, the Spirit Turtles playing in the pond, and the spirit fields crisscrossing outside the chicken farm, where two varieties of newly planted spirit rice had grown half a person tall, everything was verdant and delightful.

A sense of satisfaction spontaneously emerged in Wang Ba’s heart.

Meanwhile, when he saw the Mountain Moving Ape sitting cross-legged on a wooden stake, a thought suddenly struck him.

“It’s time to infuse this Mountain Moving Ape with lifespan.”

Previously, considering the Mountain Moving Ape suddenly came here and was unfamiliar with everything, it was anticipated that it might cause havoc in the chicken farm if its lifespan broke through, and he wouldn’t be able to stop it, so he didn’t rush to infuse lifespan.

Now, after spending some time together, he found that this little ape was not the unruly and hard-to-manage type at all.

After some thought, out of safety considerations, he specifically went to the market, spent considerable effort, but finally managed to buy a Class II Spirit Beast Collar meant for foundation-stage spirit beasts.

When he returned to the chicken farm, he immediately put it on the Mountain Moving Ape.

Although the little ape looked at Wang Ba with puzzled eyes, since Wang Ba had been the one feeding it all the while, the bond between the two was quite close, so it cooperated very obediently.

Afterward, Wang Ba infused lifespan into the little ape.

The exchange rate of lifespan was approximately 1:3.

That is, 1 year of Wang Ba’s lifespan could be converted into about 3 years for the Mountain Moving Ape.

The exchange rate was slightly lower than that of Spirit Chickens.

After infusing lifespan, Wang Ba let it freely roam around the chicken farm.

But he soon detected abnormalities in the little ape.

Its appetite greatly increased, it quickly finished off several baskets of Blue

Fire Fruits brought by Bu Chan every day.

Sometimes when they saw Wang Ba and others eating chicken soup, it would actively come over to ask for food.

At the same time, it was very restless.

Ordinarily, it would always sit quietly on the wooden stake to meditate, but after infusing lifespan, it had become restless, even picking up the heavy wooden stake and swinging it around to vent.

It even found that insufficient, and proactively provoked the male Azure Spirit Turtle and Jia 13.

Initially, due to its young age and immature body, the little ape was pinned down and bitten by the Azure Spirit Turtle, and pecked bloody by Jia 13.

But as time passed, the tables gradually turned.

Firstly, it was the Azure Spirit Turtle.

Due to its slow reaction, the little ape took advantage of its nimble body and gave it a good beating.

Even though the little ape didn’t really get its way due to the strong defense of the Azure Spirit Turtle, the Azure Spirit Turtle had since refused to come ashore after being provocated by the little ape at the edge of the pool. At most, it would attack the little ape from across the water using Water Method attacks.

Then it was Jia 13’s turn.

Jia 13 persisted for a while, mainly because of its extremely fast speed, much faster than the little ape. In several confrontations, the little ape was half-killed due to its slower reactions.

If Wang Ba hadn’t intervened in time, it was estimated that it would have been pecked to death.

However, the responsiveness and strength of the little ape increased day by day.

Within a few days, during one of their routine battles, Jia 13 dodged too late and was directly grabbed by the neck by the suddenly raging little ape, and then was ruthlessly pounded against the ground!
