Chapter 339: Chapter 5 Bu Chan’s Foundation Establishment_1

“If fellow Shen is heading back to Baiyun Prairie, you might as well wait for me for two days, so we can go together for mutual support,” said the Li-surnamed Tool Refiner after the second-class Spirit Cook’s magic tool was refined.

In the past half a month, Wang Ba and the Tool Refiner have become quite a match.

Perhaps they get along because they are both cultivators who immerse themselves deeply in the Hundred Arts, without much beating around the bush, they come straight to the point.

Even though their specialization is not the same, but one could draw inference about other cases from one instance, Wang Ba also has a rough understanding of the major category of Artifact Refining.

He even followed the Li-surnamed Tool Refiner and learned some skills to temper spirit materials and adjust the composition of the materials.

Perhaps it’s because in his cooking, setting up treatment liquid has a similar effect, Wang Ba learned quickly, which even impressed the Tool Refiner greatly.

He commented that if Wang Ba initially learned artifact refining, his achievement might not be inferior to his present state.

Wang Ba responded to this with just a calm smile, saying that the art of a Spiritual Cook could be considered the best match for him.

It is no less than Beast Control.

If he had truly chosen the path of Artifact Refining, without a huge amount of spirit materials to practice on, his growth would be impossible.

And it would be even less possible to have reached the stage he is at now.

But as for Li, the Tool Refiner’s goodwill, though Wang Ba was a bit anxious to go back, considering that he might need to adjust the Spirit Cook’s magic tool in the future, he didn’t feel right to refuse.

“Then, call me when you’re done with your business,” Wang Ba replied with a smile.

The Tool Refiner then locked himself in his room to carefully review what he had gained from this refining experience.

This is a habit many Tool Refiners have.

Spirit materials are hard to come by, so they must cherish every opportunity to refine a second-class magic tool.

It’s not like an Alchemist who has a more plentiful supply of spiritual medicine and minerals, and a higher margin of error.

Nor is it like a Talisman Maker, where if he makes a mistake, he can simply start over.

Not wanting to waste time, Wang Ba took a second-class lower grade Spirit Chicken from his Spirit Beast Bag and attempted to make a second-class chicken essence.

However, compared with the first-class Spirit Chicken, both the size and some parts of the second-class Spirit chicken have changed significantly. For example, the strength of areas such as its beak and claws has increased dramatically, so the previously configured treatment liquid doesn’t work as well.

Luckily, Wang Ba had collected quite a few spirit materials and spiritual medicines over the years.

After some thought, he was able to successfully prepare a treatment liquid that was suitable for the second-class Spirit Chicken.

Quickly plucking feathers, dismembering…

After a busy time.

“Pur–,”

The rich aroma of the chicken essence, with a strange smell, drifted from the pot.

On smelling this, Wang Ba frowned slightly.

After lifting the lid, he found that the chicken essence, which should have been in a frozen state at the bottom of the pot, was showing a slightly murky grayish black color.

“There are too many impurities, it seems that the treatment liquid needs to be adjusted again… and the heat isn’t right either,”

Although he had never made a second-class essence before, with his extensive experience, Wang Ba could spot the problem even with his eyes closed.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that he vaguely noticed that something was added to the essence besides the familiar essence of blood and Qi.

Wang Ba extended his index finger and gently wiped some of it into his mouth.

His eyes lit up.

“This… has benefits to Soul Power too,”

Strictly speaking, the Spirit Chicken essence made from a first-class Spirit Chicken can also enhance Soul Power after refining. At the beginning, Wang Ba relied on eating Spirit Chicken to condense the Power of the Yin God.

But this second-class chicken essence is different; in addition to the rich Spiritual Energy, it has separately formed a pure Soul Power in addition to Essence and blood.

It doesn’t even need refining; it naturally replenishes Soul Power as soon as it is consumed.

Tasting a bit more, he had some new feelings about the second-class essence made from Spirit Chicken.

“Besides this, the quality of Qi is much higher than when it was first-class, I’m guessing even if it is used by a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, the effect isn’t bad,”

“The essence blood Qi is even more abundant.”

“Just this small piece is probably as effective as a fifth of a bottle of first-class chicken essence.”

“What a pity, I messed it up this time,”

Wang Ba looked regretfully at the essence in the pot, which contained more than sixty percent impurities. Not wanting to throw it away, he fed it to the Spirit Turtle.

At the same time, he recorded these feelings one by one.

After summing up the experience and reorganizing his thoughts, Wang Ba made significant changes to the treatment liquid.

As the impurity content reached 60%, it suggested that there were significant problems with the composition of the treatment liquid.

In the next two days, he spent almost all his time attempting to make second-class chicken essence.

He didn’t bring many second-class lower-grade Spirit Chickens, mostly because they were naturally bred and their numbers never increased dramatically.

The second-class lower-grade Spirit Chickens were soon used up.

But he was able to successfully increase the purity of the second-class chicken essence to about 70%.

Without much hesitation, he started trying with the second-class upper-grade Spirit Chicken.

Thanks to Jia 15’s hard work, from the second-grade upper class onwards, the number of his Spirit Chickens shoots up dramatically.

Now he has more than three thousand second-class upper-grade Spirit Chickens under his hands.

The number of top-grade Spirit Chickens is a lot less, but there are still two to three hundred of them.

Compared to the meat chickens, the number of Phantom Chickens bred by Jia 15 is significantly less.

There are about one hundred and forty second-class upper-grade ones.
