Chapter 988: Chapter 38: Living Soul Chapter 988: Chapter 38: Living Soul “The so-called curse arts involve using a special ritual to request the aid of supre beings from the mysteries beyond.
The ritual varies, and accordingly, the being that responds will naturally differ, often categorized as ‘Empowernt,’ ‘Summoning,’ and so on.”
“Different heritages produce different curse arts.”
“They are classified by tiers based on power, effect, and difficulty.”
“In our Wanzhou School, the highest collection includes twelve Class IV curse arts, one hundred and sixty-five Class III, one thousand five hundred and sixty-two Class II, and forty-seven thousand nine hundred and thirty-eight Class I…”
Wang Ba sat in the heritage secret chamber of the Wanzhou School, listening to Master Wang of the Wanzhou School rattling on about the tradition of curse arts.
In his hands, he held a to listing all the curse arts housed within the Wanzhou School, along with their corresponding effects.
As he listened, he scanned the to with his Spiritual Sense.
However, upon hearing this, he suddenly thought of sothing and interrupted,
“I wonder if Master Wang has any non-grade curse arts here?”
“Non-grade?”
The previously animated Wang Haitong paused, his eyes then showing surprise as he exclaid,
“I had no idea Master Wang was also knowledgeable about curse arts, to even know of ‘non-grade’ ones.
This knowledge isn’t common.”
Seeing the perfectly tid look of astonishnt on the other’s face, Wang Ba felt sowhat speechless inside.
He had to admit that Master Wang truly had a knack for flattery.

...
It even made him a bit more comfortable.
However, this didn’t stop him from continuing to inquire,
“So, does your sect possess such curse arts?”
Wang Haitong quickly nodded, explaining,
“These non-grade Spells are not actually without a class; rather, they can be cast by cultivators of any cultivation base, and their power tends to increase as the caster’s cultivation base rises.
Therefore, they’re terd ‘non-grade.’ Currently, there are several of such curse arts within our Wanzhou School.”
Wang Ba beca interested and curiously asked, “Where are these non-grade spells located?”
Wang Haitong didn’t hesitate.
He quickly rose and began searching through a chamber filled with various jade slips.
Shortly, he returned carrying several jade slips, placing them on the table before Wang Ba and arranging them neatly.
Each jade slip was inscribed with a corresponding na.
Wang Ba’s gaze swept over them, and the nas of these non-grade spells caught his eye one by one.
“Summon,” “Heart Calming”…
“This ‘Summon’ can call forth the will of the land and manipulate the changes in the mountains, waters, and geographical position,” Wang Haitong quickly explained, seeing Wang Ba’s gaze rest on it.
Wang Ba nodded slightly, his gaze moving slightly.
Wang Haitong continued as if casually,
“This ‘Heart Calming’ spell is ant to provide additional calm when facing external evil infiltrations…”
Upon hearing this, sothing clicked in Wang Ba’s mind, and he spoke up,
“Could this spell also mitigate the effects of a Heart Demon?”
Wang Haitong’s expression faltered, and then he shook his head slightly with a genuine look of admiration,
“Master Wang truly cos from an Upper Sect, so knowledgeable and discerning that you imdiately recognized the subtle uses of this spell…
I shall not hide it from you; indeed, it does have the effect of alleviating the Heart Demon’s impact.
Once mastered, it could reduce it by more than twenty percent.
There have been Nascent Souls in every generation of our Wanzhou School, and the contributions of this spell cannot be overstated.”
“More than twenty percent?”
Wang Ba nodded impassively, but inwardly he was astounded.
Spells that could alleviate the impact of the Heart Demon were indeed valuable treasures!
His expression revealed nothing as he said,
“That’s sowhat interesting.
Would Master Wang be willing to permanently leave this spell with my Sect?
It could also serve to enrich the sutra collection of my Sect.
However, I won’t take it for nothing.
I could provide an additional portion of the Nascent Soul cultivation resources that Master Wang previously requested.”
“Of course, if Master Wang is reluctant, that’s also fine.
I’m rely acting on a whim.”
The conditions he had negotiated previously with Wang Haitong were simply for borrowing, allowing him to cultivate on his own but not to share them externally.
“Permanently?!”
Hearing Wang Ba’s words, Wang Haitong’s heart raced with excitent.
If it were exchanging the entire heritage of the Wanzhou School, he, of course, wouldn’t agree.
But this “Heart Calming” was just one of the many curse arts, and although its effects were significant, the Phenona Sect supposedly had countless heritages, many of which were stronger than this curse art.
To trade a spell that wasn’t unique for a substantial, incredibly rare collection of Nascent Soul cultivation resources…
“Master Wang is truly magnanimous!”
“I have been cultivating for eight hundred years and have never seen anyone as generous and bold as you are, Master Wang!” Wang Haitong said, giving a thumbs-up and wearing an expression of admiration.
“Not at all, Master Wang is the truly generous one,” replied Wang Ba with a chuckle.
The two n smiled at each other, each feeling they had made quite a profit.
Wang Ba then took out a collection of Nascent Soul cultivation resources that the Qi Dynasty had left for their descendants from the Scroll Dungeon.
These resources might have seed incredibly rare and unattainable for the money even to a small-country cultivator.
However, in Wang Ba’s view, they were of slightly lower quality.
Many couldn’t even et the standards for storage in the Myriad Cave.
If converted into rit points, they were probably worth only about twenty to thirty thousand points.
Contributing this curse art to the Sect, though, the value of such class-defying spells would be hard to estimate.
However, Wang Haitong didn’t imdiately take the Storage Treasure.
Instead, he said seriously,
“Master Wang, I should ntion in advance that casting this ‘Heart Calming’ is not going to be easy.”
“Not easy?”
Wang Ba was taken aback, then he smiled wryly, “If this non-grade curse can be cast even by Qi Refining stage cultivators, how hard can it be?”
Wang Haitong shook his head, “Generally speaking, that’s true.
But so spells are the exact opposite…
Why don’t you try it first.”
