Chapter 2008: Chapter 75: Fan the Flas
The figure of the bald young man quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.
“Soone from the Three Realms?”
Wang Ba slightly furrowed his brows. The person’s appearance and physique were no different from ordinary people, unlike those forces in the Sea of Chaos Realm affected by Dao Intention.
Walking among the crowd, he carried a unique sense of aloofness.
Seemingly tranquil and peaceful, yet as if completely detached from this world.
This prompted Wang Ba to imdiately form such a hypothesis.
“Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Supre True Buddha…”
Murmuring these words lightly, he inexplicably felt a discomfort in his heart.
He instinctively wanted to see more of the bald young man, but just at this mont, a wave of sowhat intense commotion surged from the crowd.
From far to near.
Many cultivators originally heading toward the shops along the street unexpectedly stopped in their tracks, their expressions a mix of astonishnt, excitent, and anticipation, with many even heading toward the outer areas of the Human Market.
“What’s going on?”
Wang Ba’s expression tensed as he imdiately looked towards the Vine Grinding Ghost King.
The Vine Grinding Ghost King analyzed the surrounding sounds, then turned with a complex expression upon hearing Wang Ba’s inquiry, saying:
“The forces behind the Wanbao Pavilion have just headed towards the Jade Pot Workshop.”
“Jade Pot Workshop?”
Wang Ba was taken aback, then imdiately realized:
“Are they going to confront the Jade Pot Realm?”
The Vine Grinding Ghost King nodded, a rare glint of excitent in his eyes:
“It’s been so many years, finally, soone is probing the depths of the Jade Pot Realm! This ti, the Sea Market was well worth the visit! Mountain Lord, should we next…”
Wang Ba glanced around, originally not wanting to get involved, but more and more cultivators in the Human Market were pushing outward, and though the crossroads were spacious, even they couldn’t withstand the surge of so many cultivators.
He could only say in a deep voice:
“Let’s go and take a look first!”
Not much instruction was needed; with their Cultivation Realm, as long as they were in the Sea Market, they could perceive each other in an instant, so there was no worry of getting separated.
However, Wang Ba cautiously set a cover around the outer area of the Treasure Basin of Immortal Essence within his Primordial Spirit, even though it was nearly impossible for an Innate Dao Treasure to be detected by outsiders once refined, caution was still necessary.
Very soon, without needing to discern the direction, Wang Ba and his companions were pushed by the crowd toward one of the three independent architectural complexes on the market’s outskirts.
Above it hung the large words ‘Jade Pot Workshop.’
The grand and slightly ancient wide hall opened its doors, welcoming the swarming cultivators.
So people even ignored the market’s rules, flying directly into the air, their expressionless faces barely suppressing excitent.
The Sea of Chaos Realm had stretched on for countless years, with few morable days, but this day would likely linger in the minds of many cultivators.
And when Wang Ba and his group arrived at the Jade Pot Workshop, it was already crowded at the entrance.
Still, more cultivators were rushing over upon hearing the news.
Thankfully, Wang Ba’s group wasn’t too far from the Jade Pot Workshop, so they managed to arrive early and stood outside the entrance, looking inside.
By now, the guests inside the Jade Pot Workshop had already hurried away, leaving only a few cultivators wearing Wanbao Pavilion robes and dozens of cultivators of varying appearances and builds standing together grimly, facing their counterparts.
On the opposite side were the much more normal-looking Jade Pot Realm cultivators.
Surrounding them were the most common items like Spirit Grasses, spirit materials, and spirit mines.
Wang Ba’s gaze swept over and was shocked by the prices he saw.
An ordinary Class IV Elixir cost several hundred taels!
A lower grade Dao Treasure could be exchanged for just a few hundred Class IV Elixirs.
He had thought the bamboo pole cultivator was at a loss by exchanging a Mid-grade Innate Dao Treasure for him with fifteen thousand bottles of spirit food, but now it seed he’d taken quite a loss himself.
“No wonder the Dragonfly Realm cultivator hardly bargained. Based on Jade Pot Workshop prices, the amount lost this ti could easily be recouped…”
Wang Ba wasn’t heartbroken, though, as fifteen thousand bottles of spirit food for a top-grade innate treasure was an extrely profitable trade, but he was still shocked by how thoroughly the Jade Pot Realm harvested the cultivators of the Sea of Chaos Realm.
As if guessing Wang Ba’s thoughts, the Vine Grinding Ghost King, who was with him, transmitted:
“It’s not just the Jade Pot Realm that’s ruthless; the other two realms are similar, but they can’t compare to the Jade Pot Realm in managing things, and their production of foundational items isn’t high, so the Jade Pot Realm has been front and center all these years… But confronting public wrath this ti, ha, they’ll surely suffer later!”
The Vine Grinding Ghost King sneered, his tone filled with jealousy toward the Jade Pot Realm.
Aside from the resentnt from being harvested, there was also the pettiness of human nature, seeing others do well.
Wang Ba listened and glanced around.
Finding that many cultivators, like the Vine Grinding Ghost King, were harboring suppressed respect and excitent, mixed with anticipation and a hint of schadenfreude.
His eyes narrowed.
Such is human nature, and if this were among mortal forces, there’d probably already be strong individuals rising to overturn the heavens and earth.
But cultivators are different from mortals, after all.
The higher the realm, the greater the deterrence a high-level cultivator has over the vast numbers of middle or low-tier cultivators.
Hence, even through countless millennia, despite so many people’s desire to tear the Three Realms apart, they still had to greet with smiles, even willingly submitting, just like the Hundred Ghost Mountain and Red Sky Palace, yearning to beco their lackeys.
