"Over fifty."
Over fifty?
It seems that the fourth layer of the Yama Heart Sutra was completed some years ago, no wonder the realm was broken through immediately upon first contact.
However...
At this age, the future is limited!
Ghost Granny came back to her senses, her gaze paused on that Soul Hook Chain, slightly surprised by this Magical Artifact.
With this Magical Artifact, even if the Yama Heart Sutra is only the fifth layer, the strength can surpass the sixth layer.
Even,
it can be compared with a cultivator of the seventh layer.
"Master."
It was only then that Ma Ning spoke up:
"I brought some Spiritual Medicine for my brother, there’s no need for him to attend the Oblivion Brew tomorrow."
"Oh!"
Fang Zheng looked surprised:
"The Oblivion Brew can significantly enhance one’s cultivation base, each person can only drink three bowls, if you miss it, there’s no more."
"No matter." Ma Ning shook her head:
"What I brought is better than the Oblivion Brew, it’s enough to help Ma Chao complete the second layer of the Yama Heart Sutra."
"Hmm..."
She glanced at Ghost Granny beside her, then said:
"Although the Oblivion Brew can enhance cultivation base, it results in squeezing human potential and even lifespan."
"Three bowls of Oblivion Brew, at least ten years of life are reduced!"
"Hmm?" Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow:
"Do the other kids who drink the brew know about this?"
"What difference does it make if they know?" Ghost Granny snorted coldly:
"In Fengdu City’s domain, who can live to the end of their lifespan, living ten years less doesn’t matter to them."
"But squeezing potential, the damage is greater."
Fang Zheng understood.
Indeed.
The people here, the average lifespan isn’t high, someone like him is considered long-lived, very few encounter this.
As for squeezing potential...
It’s not apparent when cultivation base is low, but the higher the cultivation base, the greater the impact, some Dharma Gates with slightly poor foundation don’t even qualify to practice.
"There’s one more thing."
Ma Ning continued:
"This time, the City Lord graciously increased the quota for entering the Inner City to twenty people, twice as many as previous years."
"Ma Chao can also give it a try, the Inner City quota isn’t the point, but entering the top twenty will get resource preferences."
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao’s eyes lit up.
"This is a good thing." Fang Zheng nodded.
They chatted a bit more casually.
Fang Zheng also learned from Ghost Granny that the Inner City has a Library Pavilion, containing many records about the situation outside Fengdu City.
Among them, there seem to be some secrets.
After leaving, boarding the carriage to the Inner City, Ghost Granny turned to look once more, squinting her eyes under the magic robe.
......
Inner City.
"Master."
After settling Ma Ning, Ghost Granny came to a deserted courtyard and bowed to the shadow in front:
"Today I encountered someone in the Outer City with rather odd behavior, possibly from the outside world."
"Oh!"
The shadow turned around, wrinkles shaking on the face:
"How odd?"
If anyone else was present, they would surely recognize that the old woman addressed as master by Ghost Granny is one of the two Ghost Kings of Fengdu City.
Meng Po!
"When I went to that person’s courtyard, he was not there, only his disciple Ma Chao was practicing martial arts."
Ghost Granny’s voice was grave:
"Ma Chao is not very old, his Martial Arts are not yet proficient, but already there is a flavor of true intention within Five Paths of Evil Essence in his square inch."
"And also..."
"The Inner Core on Ma Ning’s body is also strange."
"Is that so?"
Meng Po’s eyes flickered:
"Flower Ghost Guan Suo’s strength is not weak, it would not be difficult for a Ghost King to kill him, but to take out a complete Inner Core is no easy task."
"I..."
"Might not even be able to do it!"
Hmm?
Ghost Granny was shocked, looked astonished.
In her view, the master with great Divine Power surprisingly showed a slight hesitation, how is this possible?
"Do not startle the snake."
Meng Po spoke slowly:
"Observe for now."
"Then..." Ghost Granny thought for a moment, asked:
"Should we inform the City Lord?"
Meng Po did not give an immediate answer and after thinking for a long time finally said:
"For the time being, do not mention it."
"Yes."
Ghost Granny bowed her head in response.
