Chapter 990: Chapter 38: Life Soul _3 Chapter 990: Chapter 38: Life Soul _3 “Wei State?”

“A hundred creatures of the same realm as oneself?”

“Could they really have succeeded in improving it?”

Wang Ba’s heart stirred:

“They?”

Wang Haitong hesitated, then said:

“Family disgraces are not meant for outsiders, but Master Wang is an exception…

Hundreds of years ago, our Wanzhou School had a split.

Some of our predecessors felt that the path of curses did not distinguish between good and evil.

To them, using Cultivators and mortal beings to verify curses was justified.

Such thoughts were naturally incompatible with our School’s principles and also against the core values of the Jin dynasty.”

“So they chose to go far away to the Chu dynasty, and only afterwards did we learn that they had taken root in the Wei State…”

Wang Haitong shook his head slightly:

“If what Master Wang said is true, it must have been their doing.

The Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse was one of the arts they focused on researching…

They lowered the threshold for casting the curse.

It seems they have made some progress, but this curse still remains a mere trifle.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ba nodded in agreement.

For a normal Cultivator, sacrificing a hundred creatures of the same realm just to get protection for their Soul wasn’t worth it compared to buying a Talisman, Magic Tool, or spirit item to protect the soul.

At least those could be obtained through effort.

Thinking this, he curiously picked up the Jade Slip of the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse and scanned it with his Spiritual Sense.

But after just one glance, he was shocked.

“The beings drawn by the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse can actually withstand higher stages?”

“So a lowered threshold leads to diminished effects.”

“And now, if I use the Wanzhou School’s original Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse, sacrificing a hundred Fourth-Order creatures, I could evoke the protection of a Fourth-Order Soul…”

Without any hesitation, Wang Ba immediately made a decision.

Learn!

He must learn!

Even if the Fourth-Order Spirit Beasts he currently had could be counted on one hand, he had to learn this curse by any means necessary.

His Spiritual Sense quickly recorded all the content within the Jade Slip.

He discovered that the original version of the Hundred Lives Defiling Soul Curse was indeed much more complex than the one he had received before.

But that was irrelevant.

He then proceeded to learn about other curses from Wang Haitong.

“Then I won’t disturb Master Wang any further.

Elder Fan of our Sect is guarding outside, if Master Wang needs anything, just give the word.”

Wang Ba nodded slightly.

Seeing that Wang Ba had no intention to speak, Wang Haitong quickly took the hint and left the heritage secret chamber.

An old man with a broad nose and wide mouth stood outside the door and, upon catching a glimpse of Wang Ba through the opening and closing door slits, promptly bowed and smiled obsequiously:

“Master Wang.”

Wang Ba nodded casually, and with a light flick of his sleeve, he closed the door of the secret chamber.

Throughout the process, the old man maintained a smiling face, the epitome of subservience and respect.

…

“Why hasn’t he come out yet?”

The Cultivator named Gao showed impatience.

Ji Lan also felt some anxiety, but his face remained expressionless as he calmly said:

“Junior Brother Gao, be patient.

Since he told us not to leave after our task was done, he will surely come to find us.”

“But we haven’t done anything yet!”

Junior Brother Gao complained.

Hearing this, Ji Lan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He wanted to lash out, but thinking of how much the other had contributed over the years, he wasn’t sure what to say.

All he could do was exhale a long breath and gently reason:

“Junior Brother Gao, as I’ve said before, if we can connect with this person and considering how much the Wanzhou School values him, we might resolve our troubles.

You understand this key point, don’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Junior Brother Gao’s face showed difficulty: “Sect Master, I understand, but…”

“I remember now!

I remember where I’ve heard his name before!”

The old man suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

“Hmm?”

Ji Lan and Junior Brother Gao, seeing the old man’s excitement, looked bewilderedly at each other.

Then Ji Lan asked in confusion, “Junior Brother Hui, what name?

What are you talking about?”

“Yes, Brother, whose name is it?”

Junior Brother Gao was also puzzled.

“Wang Ba!

Wang Ba!”

The old man continued to shout excitedly.

Ji Lan immediately looked around cautiously, then whispered sternly:

“Junior Brother Hui, quieter!”

“Yes, yes, yes!

I was muddled!”

The old man also belatedly realized his mistake and hurriedly lowered his voice.

But Junior Brother Gao was still confused:

“Junior Brother Hui, is there something wrong with this name?”

Ji Lan also looked expectantly at the old man.

The old man had calmed down a little and shook his head:

“There’s nothing wrong with the name itself, but the problem is that I’ve heard this name before!”

“Heard it?

Where have you heard it?”

Both men were puzzled.

The old man looked at Ji Lan:

“Sect Master, do you remember Dong Qiyu?”

“Dong Qiyu?”

Ji Lan was taken aback.

The name whipped his dusty memory, making the dust scatter and causing him pain.

Junior Brother Gao frowned and turned to the old man, “Brother, why suddenly bring him up?

Don’t you know that the Sect Master…”

Ji Lan raised his hand gently, stopping Junior Brother Gao from continuing, and looked at the old man:

“He was going to be my disciple, how could I forget him, but what does he have to do with Wang Ba?”

The old man shook his head: “It’s a big relation!

When Dong Qiyu helped us collect Spirit Chickens, he mentioned more than once that an outer disciple of our Sect was captured by the Tianmen Cult and raised many Spirit Chickens…

It was from this person that he obtained a large number of Spirit Chickens, which allowed us to extract volumes of Spirit Chicken bloodlines and cultivate Class III Spirit Chickens.”
