Chapter 721 - 721 53 Study of 23 Issues_2

Chapter 721: Chapter 53 Study of 23 Issues_2 Chapter 721: Chapter 53 Study of 23 Issues_2 Perhaps because it was near the sea barrier and lacked spiritual energy, the water flowed too swiftly, fish were scarce, and were almost all common species, never entering into any class rankings.

He had thought it would be just like that.

However, at this moment, seeing the beings in the sea attracted by the explosion and the remnants of the Golden Core Craftsman’s body, he realized that he had been thinking off track.

“What was it that showed up just then — a fish or something else?

I couldn’t see it clearly…

But the feeling it gave me was as if it had reached the Foundation Establishment stage.”

Wang Ba carefully recalled the vague image he had seen from the sea earlier.

He was tempted to dive into the water for a closer look, but considering the dwindling numbers of his Mysterious Dragon Soldiers, he reluctantly gave up on the idea.

...

“When the opportunity arises, I’ll capture it for further research.

It’s able to move freely in seawater filled with Yuanci energy; it’s no common beast.

It must have a way to counteract the Yuanci energy…”

Wang Ba kept this matter in mind and promptly recorded the specific information, observations, and conclusions from this experiment in the notebook he carried with him.

Human Lifespan Enhancement Experiment, Golden Core Stage First Attempt: Wu Yi, male, 278 years old, mid to high-level physical strength, mana…

Couldn’t confirm the cause of the explosion; there should be no problem with the physical body.

The possible guesses for now are mana, soul…”

“For the next experiment, test the impact of mana strength on progression…”

Wang Ba then closed his notebook.

He turned to look at the other six cultivators and Qin Lingxiao.

Despite the loud explosion just a while ago, they remained asleep.

The extent of the damage wrought by the Yuanci energy on the human body was evident.

As usual, Wang Ba fed Qin Lingxiao a dose of Class II Spirit Chicken essence.

After some thought, he also fed several doses to one of the mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators.

Afterward, he stopped attending to them and resumed applying Healing Medicine to the Wu Monkey King.

Previously, the Wu Monkey King singlehandedly held off a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Although it was beaten all the way and heavily injured, this extraordinary achievement only solidified Wang Ba’s decision to prioritize nurturing the Wu Monkey King.

It’s just that this place lacked spiritual energy, so Wang Ba could only regularly provide spirit food to maintain its realm level.

Using it for cultivation, however, would be a bit of a luxury.

For the time being, the Wu Monkey King was unable to cultivate and couldn’t practice the movements from “Monkey God Nine Changes.” It thus reverted to its previous routine of meditating with its eyes closed every day.

Wang Ba was initially curious about the effects of the Wu Monkey King’s meditation.

After all, there was no spiritual energy in the surroundings, so sitting and meditating didn’t seem to have much value.

However, seeing the Wu Monkey King’s unwavering everyday meditation and the spark of wisdom in its eyes after each session, Wang Ba didn’t question any further.

He had no qualms about the Wu Monkey King’s talents.

He didn’t rest either, devoting his time to working on removing the seals on the Storage Treasures of the cultivators from Tupi Continent.

Wu Yi’s Storage Treasure was quickly cracked open following Wang Ba’s instruction.

The other cultivators’ Storage Treasures, however, weren’t as easy to unlock.

After all, these people were all still alive, and their souls were at the Golden Core stage.

The difficulty in removing the prohibition was extremely high.

Luckily, these treasures were exposed and had suffered the erosion of the Yuanci energy, causing the prohibitions on them to loosen considerably.

Wang Ba could completely remove the prohibitions layer by layer with his soul power.

And that’s what he did.

He had successfully cracked open the Storage Treasures of two other Golden Core cultivators and was now working on the Storage Treasure of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

The sky here was forever gloomy, and Wang Ba had to rely on his Spiritual Sense to determine the time.

Several days passed before he finally managed to crack open this Storage Treasure.

The moment he succeeded, Wang Ba felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

“I didn’t expect this prohibition to be so mentally draining…”

Shaking his head and sighing, Wang Ba didn’t continue breaking into the other Storage Treasures.

It was simply too time-consuming and energy-draining.

Looking back, Qin Lingxiao and the other cultivators from the Tupi Continent were still unconscious.

He thus proceeded to check what exactly was inside the Storage Treasure he had successfully cracked open.

After a quick flip through, he was surprised to find that these Golden Core Cultivators were literally dripping with wealth.

Inside the Storage Treasure were heaps of bone and stone spears, piled together as if Spirit Stones weren’t worth considering.

Wang Ba picked up a bone spear and was surprised to find it was made from Class IV beast bone.

However, when he tested it, its power was only at around Class III.

Not just these bone spears, but the other magic tools were mostly like this, too.

The materials were extraordinarily uncommon, but the refining techniques were so crude that even Wang Ba, who had only briefly observed a Class II Tool Refiner, could tell they were shoddy.

Is Tupi Continent… this wealthy?”

Wang Ba looked at the large amount of exotic fruits pouring out of the Storage Treasure and was caught slightly off guard.

Each one of these fruits, if placed in Yan State or Chen State, would almost have to be sold in exchange for Spirit Stones — people would even feel reluctant to let others take a look at them.

Yet, here they were mixed up with some hide trousers that stank to high heaven…

Wang Ba looked troubled but eventually chose to keep them.

“Worst case scenario, I’ll just sell them in Xuanwu Market when I get back.”

“Hmm, I can’t sell them to people I know.”

Besides magic tools and spirit fruit, there was also an abundance of dead beasts that Wang Ba didn’t recognize.

None of the remaining auras on these dead beasts was below Class III.

However, their corpses now lay quietly on the ground, without a trace of sound.
