Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Wang Ba stared at the towering mountain gate piercing the clouds ahead, and beyond it, atop the high mountain, palaces that hovered within the mist, elusive and partially visible.

Even though he was worldly, he couldn't help but be shaken by the enormity of the mountain gate and the splendor of the palaces before him, feeling an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

"This," Ye Lingyu said, looking up at the mountain gate, her naive eyes twinkling with rare pride, "is where the true gate of the Sect is situated."

Wang Ba didn't feel the same way.

After all, he was just a menial servant in the Sect, never feeling a sense of belonging.

Still, at her words, he couldn't help but take another look at the mountain gate and the dream-like palaces behind it, feeling a complex surge of emotions.

To be honest, if possible, he too would want to stay in such a Sect.

Leaning on a strong backer, not needing to toil for Cultivation resources, peacefully focusing on his Cultivation.

Perhaps, even in the near future, he might have his own place in those high palaces on the mountain.

Gradually growing, strengthening, and perfecting his ability to manipulate lifespan.

However, the existence of the Chengxian Society and the intricate dynamics within the Sect forced him to respectfully keep his distance,

And the farther, the better.

His thoughts fleeting, Wang Ba quickly composed himself and respectfully lowered his head,

"Immortal Ye, the person who was asked earlier said that Fengyang Market is not far to the left after entering the mountain gate, shall we go there now?"

"Uncle, I've said it before, don't call me 'Immortal,' just call me by my name!"

Ye Lingyu pouted somewhat displeasingly.

Had Lin Yu, with her bewitching appearance, made such a face, it would surely carry a sense of pure enchantment.

Yet on Ye Lingyu, it only made her appear more naive.

Wang Ba, unchanging in expression, replied, "Yes, Immortal Ye."

Ye Lingyu, speechless, lowered her head and covered her face with her tender white hands, rubbing furiously in resignation:

"Forget it, uncle, call me whatever you want!"

Having said that, she quickly adjusted her mood and hopped joyously through the grand mountain gate.

As Wang Ba was about to follow her in, he seemed to slam into an invisible barrier.

"Bang!"

The collision left Wang Ba dizzy and disoriented.

Ye Lingyu, realizing her mistake, slapped her forehead and shyly said, "I forgot!"

Then, quickly grabbing Wang Ba's arm, she gently pulled him through the mountain gate.

"This mountain gate has a Formation. Without Mana, you can't enter unless someone brings you in. I forgot you don't have Mana."

Ye Lingyu withdrew her hand, a bit embarrassed by her oversight.

"However, going out doesn't require it."

Rubbing his head, Wang Ba didn't dare say much, only focused on swiftly taking this young lady to the market so he could leave as soon as possible.

However, what gave Wang Ba a bit of relief was that Ye Lingyu's magic sword behind her had always been quiet and hadn't acted against him anymore.

"Strange, why did it suddenly target me before? It felt like it wanted to kill me, but now it's close and doing nothing."

Wang Ba was baffled and could only conclude that the magic sword wasn't that aware.

At that moment, Ye Lingyu suddenly pointed excitedly at the distance, stomping repeatedly,

"Look! Look! It's 'Fanming'!"

"Fanming?"

Wang Ba looked up, puzzled,

only to find himself involuntarily widening his eyes.

In the distant mist shrouded mountain, a massive purple Spirit Beast stood on a peak, shaking its tail feathers like a peacock displaying its plumage.

However, this Spirit Beast was not a peacock. If Wang Ba was not mistaken, it was clearly a... chicken!

A purple chicken!

It turned its head and pecked at its wing for a while, then suddenly flapped its wings. The purple wings spread out, covering the sky like an eclipse. Beneath the feathers of the wings, there was a huge vertical eye on each!

Wang Ba glanced at the eyes on the wings and felt dizzy!

Suddenly, the purple Spirit Beast fluttered its wings and flew away, vanishing without a trace.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion!

Wang Ba stared blankly, still immersed in the shock, unable to snap out of it.

"I heard from Master many times, the reason our East Saint Sect could establish itself in Chen State was because of this 'Fanming'."

Ye Lingyu had a hint of shock in his eyes:

"I've finally seen it this time!"

Ye Lingyu seemed very excited.

Wang Ba was also moved and couldn't help but ask, "This Fanming, why does it look so much like..."

"Like a chicken?"

Ye Lingyu was the first to say what Wang Ba wanted to say.

"It originally is a chicken, but it's not just any Spirit Chicken, it's a divine beast among chickens!"

"However, this Fanming in our Sect is not complete."

"Not complete? What does that mean?"

Wang Ba asked curiously.

"I don't know."

"Master didn't tell me."

Ye Lingyu spread her pale delicate hands, then patted and said, "Alright, we'll have another chance to see it next time! Let's find where the market is!"

Hearing this, Wang Ba could only suppress his curiosity and firmly remember the name 'Fanming' and the purple figure from earlier.

Perhaps because he had raised chickens for a long time, he subconsciously wanted to learn about anything related to chickens.

Fengyang Market is the only Cultivator market within the East Saint Sect.

Located on Fengyang Mountain, at the border between the core area of the Sect and the outer region.

However, to enter Fengyang Mountain, one must first enter from the mountain gate.

It is said that originally, the Sect Disciples organized it to facilitate trading, and over time, it gradually became accepted by the Sect as a free market under Sect supervision.

Soon, the two found the location of Fengyang Market smoothly.

Although it is a market, it is orderly and structured like a large street market.

There was no checking of identities as Wang Ba had imagined. Wang Ba and Ye Lingyu entered the market without any obstacles.

However, the indigo robes of an Inner Sect Disciple that Ye Lingyu wore did attract quite a bit of attention.

After all, the Inner Sect Disciples of the East Saint Sect are extremely rare, each considered a pillar of future support for the Sect. Even within the market, they were rarely seen.

Ye Lingyu, noticing this, took a chance to change into the white robe of an outer disciple, which quieted things down a bit.

Perhaps because the Sect was about to go on an expedition, there were quite a few Sect Disciples coming and going in the market, and the two of them almost got separated by the crowd as they walked.

Not to mention finding Wanbao Pavilion.

After a short while, Ye Lingyu spontaneously suggested they split up to explore the east and west sides of the market, and if either found Wanbao Pavilion, they would wait for the other at a predetermined place.

Wang Ba initially wanted to suggest just asking someone, but when his eyes swept across a sign, his heart skipped a beat!

Feigning hesitation, he agreed.

After Ye Lingyu left, he made sure no one was paying attention to him. Only then did he carefully make his way to the entrance of a shop after circling around the crowd.

The sign above the entrance bore four large characters:

Qianqian Talisman Shop.
