Wang Ba and Zhao Feng were now settled not far from Huifeng Valley, but even closer to Baiyun Prairie.

After pondering for a short while, he left a Teleportation Array here, asking Zhao Feng to look after it.

He then went alone to Yong'an City on Baiyun Prairie.

The address Li Ji had given to Wang Ba was indeed the city of Yong'an from days past.

He sped along the way.

From afar, he saw a carriage hovering above the city of Yong'an and was immediately startled.

"Has Li Ji's Martial Uncle also arrived?"

What surprised him even more was not just the carriage; it seemed that the city of Yong'an was quite bustling.

Wang Ba was filled with doubt.

All the Rogue Cultivators had run off to the northeast toward Yanqiao Pass, so where did these Cultivators come from?

Thinking it over, he landed outside Yong'an City and immediately sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Before long, a figure flew out from inside Yong'an City.

"Haha, Taoist Friend Shen!"

From a distance, he heard the hearty voice of Li Ji.

Seeing Li Ji, a smile also appeared on Wang Ba's face:

"Fellow Cultivator Li, long time no see."

The two greeted each other and immediately engaged in lively conversation, seemingly having endless topics to discuss.

However, Wang Ba had not forgotten the purpose of his visit, and he quickly said,

"Fellow Cultivator Li, Shen has come this time to ask for your help in crafting a Class II Spirit Cook's magic tool…"

"Hehe, you mentioned it in your Sound Transmission Talisman, and I've already prepared the embryo. Just waiting for your inspection, let's go into the city and talk," said Li Ji enthusiastically.

Hearing this, Wang Ba suddenly remembered the carriage hovering above Yong'an City and curiously asked:

"Fellow Cultivator Li, pardon my asking, weren't you in the Chu Dynasty? How come you suddenly appeared here...uh, if it's not convenient, just consider I didn't ask."

"There's really nothing I can't talk about." Li Ji glanced at the carriage. "But that's a long story."

He organized his thoughts and explained:

"It's all because of the Incense Fire Dao. Wei State and Xu State are now gone, and if Qiao State can't hold any longer, Yan State will be endangered, and the Kingdom of Immortals would directly invade the heartland of Chu."

"Prince Gao, as the Guardian of Yan State, is now inviting Immortal Masters of Nascent Soul from all around to help protect Qiao State and ward off enemies at the state border. My Martial Uncle naturally wanted to share the worries of Prince Gao, so she brought the Dao soldiers here, preparing to assemble the Sects of Yan State, gather resources, and head to guard Yanqiao Pass."

"Prince Gao? Guardian of Yan State?"

Wang Ba was slightly stunned.

This title was somewhat unfamiliar to him.

Realizing this, Li Ji suddenly remembered and showed a remorseful smile:

"I forgot, I never mentioned to you that my Martial Uncle is one of Prince Gao's consorts."

"I see."

Wang Ba chuckled,

yet he still wasn't too sure who Prince Gao was.

However, he felt that it had nothing much to do with him, so he did not ask further.

Soon, he entered the city under Li Ji's guidance.

The original buildings had been completely razed, leaving a vacant lot.

In the middle of the vacant lot, a female Cultivator in yellow robe and battle armor stood among a group of Cultivators dressed in standard battle armor.

Her demeanor was gentle, and her figure was curvaceous.

Standing among the crowd, she clearly stood out a triton among the minnows.

Despite being a woman, her presence overshadowed everyone else present.

Wang Ba just glanced at her and felt a chill in his heart.

She had a mysteriously familiar aura about her.

Very much like someone he had seen before, Zhang Daobai...

He couldn't help but whisper to Li Ji:

"Your Martial Uncle...couldn't she possibly be an Immortal Master of Nascent Soul?"

Li Ji's eyebrows lifted, and his face lit up with a smile:

"Indeed, my Martial Uncle had already reached Golden Core Perfection before, and with the help of Prince Gao, she has successfully entered the stage of Nascent Soul's Dao…"

Seemingly noticing someone discussing her, the armored female Cultivator in the distance swept her gaze over Wang Ba's body.

She recognized Wang Ba quickly.

However, she did not show any intent to greet him, and she withdrew her gaze.

In her eyes, Wang Ba was just a Rogue Cultivator with some skill.

He might have talent, but he was at too low a stage.

Wang Ba immediately sensed this.

He promptly shut his mouth, no longer asking any more questions.

Wang Ba was well aware of his place.

He did not think that just because he had previous dealings with this Immortal Master of Nascent Soul, she would see him in a new light.

If it weren't for Li Ji's connection, she probably wouldn't have interacted with him to begin with.

Thus, Wang Ba followed Li Ji with his head bowed into a temporarily set-up Artifact Refining Room.

And indeed, just as Li Ji had said, the magic tool embryo was already completed, just waiting for Wang Ba's confirmation.

Wang Ba thought carefully and adjusted the embryo according to the physical characteristics of Jia 17.

Although Li Ji found it strange, he did not ask further and directly started helping Wang Ba in the refining.

With the experience from before, and since the magic tool embryo was already prepared, a lot of time was saved.

Within just half a day, a Class II Spirit Cook's magic tool set had been successfully crafted.

Although Li Ji strenuously refused, Wang Ba still gave him five portions of Spirit Chicken essence as material and remuneration.

He also paid off the previously unsettled Spirit Chicken essence all at once.

"Hmm? The Spirit Chicken essence this time seems to be much better than before…" Li Ji tasted it and couldn't help but express his surprise.

Wang Ba just smiled and did not offer any explanation.

Normally, Class II upper grade Spirit Chicken essence would be made from a Class II upper grade Spirit Chicken.

However, what he gave to Li Ji was made using a Class II top grade Spirit Chicken as the material.
