Chapter 241: Chapter 44 Return to East Saint Residencel_2
The East Saint station.
Teleportation array in the market.
Accompanied by a strong wave of spiritual power.
A group of cultivators came out of the teleportation array.
They immediately flew in different directions.
Amidst this, Wang Ba didn’t leave in a hurry, but a sweep of his spiritual sense
made his facial expression a bit stern.
In the Shidong House nearby, where it was nearly empty last time, it was hard
to find any unoccupied immortal caves now.
The Mulou House had also become rather quiet.
Although the Lingshui Courtyard was occupied by cultivators due to the rich spiritual energy, it was also unusually silent, as if everyone was busy cultivating.
The market was much more expanded than before, yet more densely
populated.
High-level Qi Refining Cultivators were common sight, and even Foundation
Establishment Competitors could be seen.
However, there was an indescribable shadow looming over the market.
The atmosphere was oppressively scary.
“Has the Incense-burning Dao Cult become so rampant in East Saint station?” Feeling the depressing atmosphere in the East Saint station, Wang Ba couldn t help but feel surprised.
He then became worrying about Bu Chan and didn’t wait any longer. With a thought, he flew into the sky, and soon he landed in front of the chicken farm by the South Lake.
What surprised Wang Ba was that in the spirit field next to the chicken farm, except for a part of the Blue Fire Fruit left, the spiri rice had all been replaced with various types of spirit plants.
These spirit plants had one thing in common, they all had different types of
spirit flowers blooming.
With Wang Ba’s eyesight, he could easily see the Fragrance Bees fluttering in
the flower garden.
What eased him was that although the flowers were blooming, the plants were well organized and there were no weeds growing underneath.
It was clear that the planter took care of this every day, with great diligence.
Seeing this, Wang Ba who wasn’t in a hurry, couldn’t help but anxiously wanted
to meet Bu Chan.
He quickly walked to the door of the chicken farm. After making a casual hand seal, he pushed the door open and entered.
What greeted his eyes was a ground so neat without a single weed.
The Spirit Gourd Vine was the same as before, only growing a short section.
The Crystal Peach Tree was thicker, its giant canopy covering half of the chicken farm.
The tree was full of Crystal Spirit Peaches, which would ripen before long.
As for the wooden house, it was standing quietly there.
Wang Ba quickly walked in.
The furnishings inside were the same as when he left.
However, much to his disappointment, there was no sign of Bu Chan in the house.
He also went to the back of the wooden house and the poolside, but he couldn’t find Bu Chan.
A thought suddenly surfaced in his mind:
“Has apprentice sister already been enlisted to the front line?
The moment this thought came up, he instantly became anxious.
As a Spirit Plant Master, Bu Chan focuses on nurturing spirit plants. Although her physical body is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators because of the nourishment from the geographical position’s aura
but if she arrived at the front lines, she would not be able to withstand the attacks of high-level Qi Refining Cultivators.
Even though Wang Ba had given Bu Chan a lot of magic tools and talismans for self-defense, they were still not enough on the battlefront.
He hurriedly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, ready to transmit a message to Bai Yu.
However, at this moment.
His heart moved, and he suddenly looked back.
The door opened, and a beautiful figure carrying a flower basket walked in. She looked a bit stunned when she saw Wang Ba, and then her eyes welled up with surprise.
“Brother, you’re back?”
The person was Bu Chan.
The two couldn’t help but stare at each other for a long time.
“Brother, did you come back because of the Heavenly Gate Order as well?
Bu Chan suddenly broke away from their embrace and asked with a serious
look.
Wang Ba nodded.
Bu Chan’s face turned even more serious:
“Not long ago, a batch of cultivators had come to East Saint station. However, Zheng Yuanhua, the Incense-burning Dao Cultivator, destroyed most of them in not much time, with many of their Foundation Establishment leaders being killed. Brother, I’m afraid your return is to fill their vacancy.”
On hearing this, Wang Ba frowned: “Is this Zheng Yuanhua that strong? Didn’t they say that Yan Yun from the Sword Demon Dao could block him?” “Yan Yun was ambushed by them, though she was fortunate to escape, her foundation has now been injured, and she’s currently recovering within the sect.”
Bu Chan shook her head, “This time when the Senior Brother returned, it’s extremely dangerous.”
With that said, she carefully took out a palm-sized, fragrant ruby-red beeswax from her storage bag.
“This is the Hundred Fragrance Wax that you asked me to make, the spirit field here is not suitable for growing various spirit flowers, so I only managed to get this much.”
“This is already more than enough.”
Wang Ba took it, inadvertently touching the roughness on Bu Chan’s hand. Immediately a thought arose in his heart, he held onto her hand only to see it full of ugly black spots and swelling.
“What is this…”
Wang Ba paused for a moment, then hurriedly grabbed Bu Chan’s other hand. Bu Chan quickly drew back, however, she couldn’t evade Wang Ba, both her hands were held in his.
Both hands were covered with wounds of different sizes from the bee stings. With a gentle touch, even though Bu Chan tried her best to hide it, Wang Ba could still detect the slight tremor in her hand.
“Are these sting marks from the Fragrance Bee?”
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask.
Bu Chan saw that she couldn’t conceal it, so she nodded her head.
“These Fragrance Bees are quite unruly, but now I have mastered the technique, using a scraping blade instead of a hand, and when opening the hive, I take the far ones first, spraying some water can also prevent stings. Oh, and the most interesting thing is, when the spirit vegetable flowers are secreting nectar, they won’t sting me.”
Listening to Bu Chan narrating her beekeeping experiences and lessons, Wang Ba was at a loss for what to say.
All he could do was gently hold Bu Chan’s hands, just sitting quietly next to her, listening to her talk.
“However, these waxes may not be enough, right? It’s a pity that the soil here is unadaptable for growing spirit flowers. It may take another year to harvest this amount of wax..”
Bu Chan said regretfully.
However, Wang Ba shook his head, earnestly saying, “You should rest for a while. Later, I will go to the market to get some antidote. The Fragrance Bee’s stingers are poisonous, that’s why your physique hasn’t fully recovered yet.” Bu Chan suddenly realized, but soon she refused: “Now is not the time to rest, we must go to the front line in a few days, we must take this opportunity to gather one more time. Senior brother, rest assured, I will collect enough beeswax as soon as possible.”
Wang Ba failed in convincing her and didn’t try to persuade her anymore. Although Bu Chan looks weak, he knows that she’s always been daring and decisive.
Once she sets a goal, she won’t stop until she achieves it, even if it’s against his advice.
She is not his subordinate.
So the two didn’t chat for long, Bu Chan picked up her flower basket and went outside to get busy.
“I wonder how Shen Fu is doing, it’s already been a month without any sound transmission talisman.”
Busy as she was, Bu Chan couldn’t help expressing her concerns to Wang Ba. Though Wang Ba was somewhat worried when he heard this, he did not know how to resolve the issue at that moment.
Moreover, at this moment, he was more concerned about one thing.
How to excuse Bu Chan from going to the front line.
To be honest, once they both go to the front line, he is really uncertain whether he can guarantee her safety.
After all, so many cultivators of Tianmen Cult failed, what could he do?
So the best way is to keep Bu Chan hiding in the station and not going out. In this way, whether he fights or flees, he will be much more flexible. With a Class II upper-grade flying magic tool, an average cultivator might not be able to catch him.
The problem is, even if he was sent to the front line, how could Bu Chan be exempted from going out?
After thinking about it, Wang Ba finally decided to bring some jars of Crystal Spirit Peach Wine, go to Xiegu Hall, and find Bai Yu.
However, what confused Wang Ba was that Bai Yu was not in Xiegu Hall. “You are looking for Uncle Bai? Uncle Bai left a few days ago to the Elder Lu’s command, if you are looking for him, you can only go to ‘Qiandong Palace’.”
“Qiandong Palace?”
“That would be, towards? this way.”
A Blood Bone Dao cultivator pointed the way.
After thanking him, Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, then eventually took his spirit wine and went to the so-called ‘Qiandong Palace.
To his surprise, the place was exactly where Lu Yuansheng had tested the beast control cultivator last time.
Still the same dilapidated palace, but many Foundation Establishment Competitors were waiting at the door.
Almost all were Tianmen Cult cultivators, seeing Wang Ba, a heresy cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, they all cast their attention on him.
However, after feeling Wang Ba’s intentionally suppressed aura, they all withdrew their gazes.
Wang Ba politely informed the humanoid guards at the palace.
To his surprise, he got the response from the humanoid guard not long after:
“The master commands you to come in..”
