Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 1 Miscellaneous Disciples

Upon opening the door, Yu Changsheng saw the rows of bungalows outside and several young men dressed in gray, and only then did he accept the fact that he had transmigrated to the world of cultivation.

This is the outer peak of the Cloud and Mist Mountain Range, the Wanxiang Sect.

He was one of the tens of thousands of menial disciples here, or to put it more politely, a disciple of the immortals!

The original owner shared the same name and surname as him. He was sixteen years old this year, with a cultivation level of the second stage of Qi Refining. He came from the Yu family, a Qi Refining clan in Haoyue City outside the mountains.

He has limited talent in cultivation, possessing only the most ordinary three spiritual roots, including the wind attribute. Staying in the family and being cared for by his father might ensure his lifelong peace.

However, the original owner was unwilling to accept this and wanted to gain power, so he resolutely joined the Myriad Manifestations Sect and became a menial disciple.

The Myriad Manifestations Sect is one of the most renowned immortal cultivation sects in Wuzhou.

A thousand years ago, it was a sacred place for cultivation in Wuzhou, with several great cultivators of the Purple Mansion level presiding over it. It was a place of great glory. After several changes, it is now a second-rate sect, though it cannot compare to a first-rate sect.

Moreover, the Myriad Manifestations Sect has a profound foundation, possessing various rare cultivation techniques and five inheritance peaks, making it a coveted destination for countless independent cultivators and families.

As a menial disciple, the original owner could choose any basic cultivation technique from a mountain peak as long as he reached the third level of Qi Refining. In his haste, he broke through to the next peak last night, which led to his transmigration.

"That's terrible. He only joined the sect two days ago and he's already dead."

Yu Changsheng secretly sympathized with the other party.

As a major sect, the process of the original owner joining the Myriad Manifestations Sect was extremely arduous. There are countless cultivators with mixed spiritual roots in the world, and the fact that he was able to stand out and be selected as a menial disciple must have involved his family spending spirit stones to bribe the guide.

But who could have imagined that his ambitions would be replaced before he could even realize them?

Yu Changsheng had merged with the other party's memories, and he also harbored a strong desire to gain power.

In this dangerous world of cultivation, only power matters.

Cultivate the Tao! Achieve immortality! Become an immortal!

"Don't worry, I will carry on your will and protect your family!"

Yu Changsheng made up his mind.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Get out here and get to work! Don't slack off, what time is it already!"

Outside, the steward pounded on the door, shattering his grand ambitions!

You've traveled through time, and you still have to work? Can you believe it?

Yu Changsheng sighed and quickly called out, "Coming, coming!"

As he came out of the house, he saw the handyman with a mustache cursing and directing the group of boys to work.

Disciples who perform menial tasks are required to do a lot of work. He was assigned to the No. 180 spirit field on the outer peak. His daily work included spreading rain, weeding, and driving away insects, and regularly handing over the harvested spirit rice.

With his second-level Qi Refining power, it would take him at least half a day to complete all of this, and sometimes it wouldn't end until evening. He had very little time to cultivate each day, and only when he advanced to become an outer disciple would he have some free time.

The conditions for becoming an outer disciple are also very simple: after selecting the basic cultivation techniques of the five inherited peaks, cultivate them to the fifth level of Qi Refining and participate in the annual sect selection.

"When will this ever end?"

A slightly older disciple standing nearby shook his head inwardly when he saw Yu Changsheng and the other newly recruited servants.

After the head servant finished his lecture, he left on his own. The other servant disciples breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a few words with each other.

"How many years has Senior Brother Zhuang been here?" Yu Changsheng asked curiously, picking up a weeding sickle from the side of the yard.

Yesterday, everyone in this courtyard got to know each other. This Senior Brother Zhuang is a kind person, and he will take the initiative to remind new disciples if they do something wrong.

"It's been five years." Zhuang Yan looked at him, his expression worried.

"I was once just as hopeful as you, believing that joining a major sect would allow me to cultivate supreme Taoist arts, live a carefree life, and have a bright future. But in reality, it was just jumping from one pit to another."

Those weathered words immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding teenagers, one of whom asked with a puzzled look.

"Can't we become outer disciples? That way we'll have time to cultivate."

Zhuang Yan glanced at the boy and said coldly, "Most of those who become menial disciples have mixed spiritual roots, and there are countless menial disciples in the sect, many of whom are stronger than you. How can you possibly compete with them?"

"Putting everything else aside, just look at me. In five years, I've already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, and I've even mastered the art of sword control. Do you think there's no chance for someone to surpass me?"

Upon hearing this, the group of teenagers turned pale, clearly feeling the pressure.

This is not the future they had imagined.

"Menial disciples are treated like cattle and horses in the sect. Of course, they are not entirely without opportunities. If you can curry favor with the outer disciples, your life here will be much better. You might be able to climb up the ranks by relying on them."

"If one uses more skillful methods and becomes acquainted with some inner disciples and elders, one might be able to get in through the back door."

"Here, just like in the secular world, you need to curry favor with the powerful."

At this point, Zhuang Yan suddenly stopped talking, his expression changing.

A haughty and arrogant handyman walked into the courtyard, followed by two lackeys, looking down on everyone around him.

"He's come to borrow people again."

"Get away from here, get away from here."

Several servants who recognized the man immediately lowered their heads.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, who is this person?" Yu Changsheng stood next to him and asked curiously, seeing everyone's fearful expressions.

Zhuang Yan whispered cautiously, "It's Huang Li from the next courtyard. He's on duty at the Spirit Chicken Garden. Relying on his brother being a genius from the outer sect of Yujian Peak, he acts extremely domineeringly. He can't stand seeing anyone do better than him. He often goes to other courtyards to borrow people to help him feed the spirit chickens. If they refuse, they'll be dragged out and beaten."

"Feeding those spirit chickens is much harder than managing our spirit fields. Each one is at the mid-stage of the first rank, comparable to the fifth level of Qi Refining. They're picky eaters with terrible tempers. If they're not happy with the spirit rice, they'll flap their wings and whip people. Those wings are like iron wings; if they hit us, they'll seriously injure us!"

"I was also bullied by him in the first two years I came here. When I saw him outside, I would stay far away and avoid making eye contact with him."

As Huang Li finished scanning the courtyard, he happened to meet Yu Changsheng's gaze, and immediately frowned.

The other disciples lowered their heads in fear when they saw him, but this young man did not. Heh, and he was also so handsome.

This stirred up jealousy and resentment in him, so he walked towards Yu Changsheng and called out, "You're also a new handyman disciple? Then come with me and help me feed the chickens!"

"If you feed them well, I'll reward you handsomely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Li's two servants walked up to Yu Changsheng with smiles on their faces, surrounding him from both sides, giving him no room to refuse.

Yu Changsheng never expected that he would be harassed just because he glanced at the other person.

Zhuang Yan, who had been whispering to him earlier, had silently retreated to a distance, picked up a sickle with the handyman disciple, and didn't recognize him.

"Senior Brother Huang, I still have spiritual fields to manage," Yu Changsheng said with a troubled smile, and tried to walk past.

But Huang Li wouldn't let him off so easily. With a flick of his eyes, his two henchmen grabbed his shoulders.

"Hehehe, feeding a chicken doesn't take long at all. After you're done feeding them, you can take your time tending to your spirit field!"

"Let's go!"

Huang Li grinned mischievously, then waved his hand and left the courtyard with his henchmen and Yu Changsheng.

Even though Yu Changsheng screamed and struggled, no one was willing to help him. As soon as he tried to use his magic to resist, he was immediately punched in the stomach and couldn't even cast a fireball spell.

"That's terrible. Do you think he'll ever come back?"

"They should be able to come back, but I don't know if they came back lying down. Not many of those who went to feed the spirit chickens were unharmed."

"That Yu Changsheng is new here and doesn't know the rules. What's the point of him being so handsome?"

"Don't follow his example in the future. Always keep your head down when you see someone stronger than yourself, understand?"

"Alright, enough with the sarcastic remarks, let's get to work!"

Zhuang Yan was truly annoyed by those gloating servant disciples, so he couldn't help but shout.

Soon, the servants in the courtyard dispersed and went to do their own things.

Yu Changsheng was taken down the mountain, where he pondered and considered whether there was a chance to escape.

But there was absolutely no chance.

The second level of Qi Refining is actually only slightly stronger than a mortal martial artist. His internal magical power is limited, and he doesn't know any profound magic. The three people next to him are no less powerful than him.

Especially Huang Li, who is in charge, has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. If he angers the other party, it may not be as simple as just getting a punch.

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng became much more obedient and walked behind Huang Li, not daring to make any rash moves.

The Spirit Chicken Garden is located in a valley in the Beast Taming Peak of the Myriad Elephants Sect. It took about two incense sticks' worth of time to get there. There is a small array protecting the outside to prevent chicken thieves from visiting.

Huang Li took out the array wooden plaque, swept it, and walked in with high spirits, followed closely by the three behind him.

The job of feeding the chickens was arranged by his brother Huang Suyu through connections. He was paid 300 spirit coins a month, and if he did a good job, he could also get Qi and Blood Pills and Spirit Enhancement Pills.

That's why he could look down on all the servants!

Huang Li called a servant to bring a small bag of spirit rice from the wooden house, then picked up a small basin from the side and called out to Yu Changsheng.

"Take them inside and feed them. Give each spirit chicken about 20 grains of spirit rice. Remember not to feed them too much; these spirit chickens are not easy to take care of. If they see you treating them differently, they'll get jealous and cause trouble!"

"Don't blame me for not warning you, even the weakest of these spirit chickens is at the third level of the first rank. Their feathers are as hard as iron. If they're not fed properly and get blown away, they'll be bedridden for at least several days!"

Yu Changsheng took the basin, his eyes wide open. He wasn't frightened by the majestic and fierce spirit chickens in the enclosure, but by the symbols that appeared on the heads of those spirit chickens. Upon closer inspection, a line of data appeared.

[Name]: Common Spirit Chicken

[Realm]: First Tier, Fourth Level

[Comprehension]: 5
