Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 109 Yuntai Valley (Long Chapter)

The blue deer immediately closed its eyes, and its whole body emitted a faint rainbow of light.

This is the prelude to transformation.

Upon seeing this, Yu Changsheng immediately took a step back, because the light emanating from the blue deer was too dazzling.

The deer's body began to change; the patterns that were originally like blue and white porcelain became colorful, and its antlers grew longer.

As the iridescent light on the sika deer gradually dimmed, it slowly opened its eyes, which seemed to be filled with iridescent light, captivating the soul.

Transformation successful!

The colorful deer curiously examined its own fur, walked around in circles on all fours, and finally its face was filled with a surprised smile.

What that stupid snake and silly eagle said was actually true; I really have transformed!

"Yo-yo!" The colorful star deer called out twice to Yu Changsheng, its joy evident in its tone.

Yu Changsheng smiled and walked over to the colorful star deer. He reached out and patted its head, his face showing affection.

"I told you I wouldn't lie to you, right?"

The colorful deer raised its head, revealing a proud expression, and exclaimed, "Yo-yo!"

That's because I'm excellent!

Yu Changsheng understood its meaning, and his lips twitched.

It was clearly his achievement, he used so much of his essence, so why is it you who is superior?

This deer is quite the proud and aloof one.

Cai Xinglu seemed to understand the meaning behind his expression and immediately became somewhat angry.

"Speaking of which, after your transformation, did only your body hair change? What about your other abilities?" Yu Changsheng asked curiously.

Cai Xinglu smiled and took a step forward, letting you feel the change in her!

Step on the Soul!

But the next moment, Yu Changsheng's behavior was not what Cai Xinglu had expected.

Yu Changsheng only felt something gently rubbing him, making his consciousness feel a little itchy.

Confused, he asked the colorful deer, "What did you just do?"

Cai Xinglu stared wide-eyed, unable to understand why she couldn't step on the Soul Step.

Little did they know, Yu Changsheng's spiritual sense was so powerful that it could rival that of a Golden Core cultivator.

He doesn't need to use all of it; just a portion to envelop his soul is enough to protect him from the attacks of the Rainbow Star Deer.

How could stepping on a soul affect Yu Changsheng if you can't even touch the soul?

The colorful deer was somewhat frustrated. It stepped on the ground a few more times, feeling that its innate magic hadn't failed, so why had it become useless?

Yu Changsheng felt itchy for a while, then realized that it was Caixinglu playing around nearby, and couldn't help but go over and rub it.

"Stop straightening it, it's itchy."

With tears welling up in its eyes, Cai Xinglu felt for the first time the wall it had crossed. It transformed into a beam of light and entered Yu Changsheng's inner world, intending to find that stupid snake and silly eagle, to get revenge, and to regain its confidence.

Yu Changsheng also understood some of the abilities that the Rainbow Star Deer possessed after its transformation.

The Rainbow Star Deer is also a wood-type monster, but its main improvement lies in its mental power, such as its ability to intimidate and tread on souls. This ability to attack the souls and spirits of enemies has been greatly increased. Of course, its control over trees and forests will also be better than that of the Blue Flower Deer.

Let it face a peak Qi Refining cultivator alone. As long as the opponent's divine sense isn't as abnormal as its own, it should be fine.

Animal park.

"You want to participate in the spirit beast competition?"

Old Wei lay on the wooden chair as always, stroking the black tortoise in his hand, and looked up to ask.

Yu Changsheng wondered if it was just his imagination, but the black tortoise seemed to have a much more swollen head. He couldn't tell if it had been hit or bumped.

Yu Changsheng replied, "Yes, I had never heard of this before while I was in the Beast Garden. I just happened to come across it, so I thought I'd participate and see if I could get the corpse of a good bloodline monster."

Old Wei nodded and smiled, "I thought you wanted to become an apprentice, but it turns out it's for the monster's corpse."

"With you here to teach me, why would I need to find a master?" Yu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Hehehe, you little rascal, you've got a sweet tongue. No wonder you were able to steal that blue deer." Old Wei's face broke into a smile, clearly enjoying Yu Changsheng's words.

Yu Changsheng thought to himself, "It's no longer a blue-spotted deer, but a colorful star deer."

However, he didn't intend to say it out loud, lest he shock Old Wei and make him faint on the spot. After all, this blue deer was of the bloodline of a third-tier demon beast race. Didn't you see that Old Wei had raised it for so many years without it transforming?

The transformation in just two months would likely cause Mr. Wei to question his life and himself if he knew.

Moreover, this beast-taming talent is a bit abnormal, unprecedented in its kind. Therefore, Yu Changsheng still plans to keep a low profile and let the Rainbow Star Deer show itself as little as possible. If it is really exposed in Yuntai Valley, then he can only talk nonsense and use luck as a shield.

"The spirit beast competition is good. It's more challenging than the alchemy competition at Jade Cauldron Peak. I'll wait here for your good news. If you can get first place like in the alchemy competition, hahaha, I have something good for you."

Upon hearing Elder Wei's words, Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up.

Good stuff? Old Wei's good stuff is really amazing! Whether it's the Thousand Thought Slash or the Four Extremes Spirit Beast Formation, they are both top-notch techniques that will never be outdated, even at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages!

Upon hearing about something good, Yu Changsheng's fighting spirit ignited instantly, and he said with a resolute smile, "Don't worry, Elder Wei, I will do my best."

"Well, don't disappoint me." Old Wei smiled slightly.

He hadn't expected Yu Changsheng to be so talented in alchemy, actually winning first place in the alchemy competition. When the news came, he smashed the Xuan Turtle hundreds of times before he could recover. It was real, not a dream!

And now, he can also see Yu Changsheng's talent in beast taming.

This spirit beast competition is the test of results!

After leaving the beast garden, Yu Changsheng went to the spirit chicken garden to arrange the meals before starting to prepare for tomorrow's spirit beast competition.

The spirit beast competition wasn't as popular as the alchemy tournament, and no disciples from other peaks came to watch. It was much calmer in comparison, and the other disciples of the Beast Taming Peak were used to it.

The next day, at the entrance of Yuntai Valley.

"Brother Yu, over here!"

As soon as Yu Changsheng arrived, he saw Fang Caifeng waving.

Yu Changsheng walked over and said with a smile, "You're here so early, scouting your opponent?"

Fang Caifeng said with a grin, "That's right. My cultivation level isn't even among the top in our Beast Taming Peak's outer sect disciples, so of course I need to come early to see my opponents and find out who I need to avoid once I'm inside."

Yu Changsheng nodded and asked, "Do you know how many people signed up?"

"There are probably fifty or sixty people, both new and old disciples. Ten years ago, some were Qi-refining Beast Tamers, and they're still signing up now. Look!" Fang Caifeng leaned close to Yu Changsheng's ear, pointed at a man, and whispered.

"That's Miao Wenlun, a veteran in our Beast Taming Peak. He used to be an excellent Beast Tamer, but unfortunately, his Beast Taming and Training got worse and worse. He tried to develop his own mutated demon beasts, but the result was a complete mess. As a result, he hasn't been able to advance in the outer sect for seven or eight years, and his realm has been stuck at the peak of Qi Refining."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng followed the gaze and saw that the man was dressed in an elegant blue robe, with a tall and straight figure and a refined and otherworldly air. However, there was an unyielding sorrow between his brows, and his face was expressionless, like that of a dead man.

Miao Wenlun was someone Yu Changsheng had heard of. He was a minor celebrity on Beast Taming Peak, possessing considerable experience and unique ideas in beast taming and training.

The Beast Taming Peak never forbids its disciples from studying demonic beasts, their bloodlines, and their transformations, mutations, and hybridization. Some demonic beasts in the Beast Garden are even taken away by inner disciples or elders as subjects of this kind of research.

However, only those with ample financial resources and a good background are qualified to play this game. Otherwise, if you go down with several demonic beasts and make no progress, the spirit stones will be wasted.

Miao Wenlun suffered too much loss on spirit stones, which ultimately led to the disastrous state of his research and slowed his progress in cultivation. By the time he recovered, he was already at an awkward age.

Some say he's stupid, some say he's arrogant, and some say he deserves it.

Anyway, there are people who laugh at it, and people who admire it.

"What a pity. If he hadn't been so eager to mutate his bloodline back then, he might have already become an inner disciple," Yu Changsheng sighed.

"That's right, but he still has a chance this year. I heard he created a mutated Fiery Tiger Beast, which greatly increased his strength, but I don't know if it's true."

Fang Caifeng stroked his chin and said, "Anyway, with his peak Qi Refining realm, getting into the top three shouldn't be a problem. He's an opponent I need to be careful of."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "You have a lot of people to watch out for."

"Oh?" Fang Caifeng looked at him and teased, "Like you?"

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right."

"Haha, Brother Yu, don't worry, I will never underestimate you. If you encounter someone you can't handle, remember to run to me and I'll come to your rescue!" Fang Caifeng laughed loudly.

Yu Changsheng smiled but did not reply.

You know nothing about my strength.

After about an incense stick's time, the registered beast tamers arrived one after another, including Lei Kai, whom Yu Changsheng had encountered before.

"Hmph, kid, watch out." Lei Kai sneered, then pointed at Yu Changsheng.

After that incident at the office, he went back and investigated Yu Changsheng, only then realizing that he had been fooled and frightened.

The other party is famous in the alchemy competition and is a very talented alchemist, but I have never heard of any strange or unusual things about him in terms of beast taming, nor do I have any achievements.

Lei Kai thought for a moment. Both alchemy and beast taming require a lot of time. Yu Changsheng is only seventeen or eighteen years old. If he is so good at alchemy, he must be particularly bad at beast taming. That's why he doesn't have any achievements!

"You piece of trash dare to talk back to me? I'll teach you a lesson when I get inside!" Lei Kai glared at Yu Changsheng fiercely, then walked in another direction with a companion.

Then, Mu Zeyu arrived.

"Senior Brother Yu!"

When Yu Changsheng saw him, he suddenly noticed that the beast accompanying him was different. The last time he saw it was a snow leopard, but this time it was a spirit fox!

"What kind of spirit fox is this?"

Like the snow leopard, the spirit fox was pure white with fine, silky fur that looked incredibly smooth. However, its claws were extremely sharp, and it would bare its teeth at unfamiliar cultivators, appearing quite ferocious.

The moment Yu Changsheng saw this spirit fox, he sensed its difference.

Under divine sense, the spirit fox's realm was at the eighth level of the first rank, and its spiritual power was very strong. Although it was not as strong as the previous blue deer, it was not much weaker.

Mu Zeyu, who was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining, was actually able to contract a first-tier seventh-level snow leopard beast and a first-tier eighth-level spirit fox!

Could this person's talent for beast taming be a hidden secret? Or perhaps, behind him, he is a disciple from a prominent beast taming family?

Upon hearing Yu Changsheng's question, Mu Zeyu smiled and said, "It's normal that Senior Brother Yu hasn't seen it before. It's a unique spirit beast from a snow mountain in our area, called the Hidden Heart Fox."

"A fox with a hidden heart?"

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Yu Changsheng was a little puzzled, after all, he was a proper beast tamer and had seen many lists of monsters.

Beside him, Fang Caifeng seemed to have heard of it. He opened his mouth wide and asked, "Is it that spirit fox that knows how to conceal its aura, moves as fast as lightning, and likes to steal children's hearts?"

Mu Zeyu quickly explained, "That's all a misunderstanding from the outside world. Although the Hidden Heart Fox likes to attack the heart when killing enemies, it doesn't steal children's hearts."

Clearly, Fang Caifeng didn't believe it. Then, seeing Yu Changsheng's blank expression, he said, "This is a kind of spirit beast of the people living in the snowy mountains to the north. It is relatively rare here. The terrifying folk tales of the Hidden Heart Fox are quite famous among the people, and it has been regarded as a kind of ghost."

After Fang Caifeng explained it to him, Yu Changsheng understood.

"There are quite a few stories about this monster," he said with a smile.

Beside Mu Zeyu, the snow-white Hidden Heart Fox curiously sized up Yu Changsheng, rubbing its little paws together as if it really wanted to climb onto his shoulder.

For some reason, it sensed a pleasant smell emanating from Yu Changsheng.

There is a natural sense of closeness, like a mother on a snow-capped mountain.

"It seems it likes you a lot." Mu Zeyu noticed the expression on the Hidden Heart Fox's face and smiled.

"Maybe it's because I'm good-looking," Yu Changsheng said with a smile.

"Alright, you can go in now. The elders who will be presiding over the competition have arrived."

A group of five people walked slowly towards them. The one in the lead was an old man with a white beard, wearing a gray robe. He had some wrinkles on his face, sharp eyes, and looked imposing.

Two men and two women followed behind him, all dressed in black.

These people are all stewards, responsible for presiding over the competition, while that white-bearded old man is one of the few Golden Core cultivators on Beast Taming Peak!

"Everyone, we will be hosting this competition. The competition will take place in Yuntai Valley, which is full of dangerous environments. Only Yuntai is a safe zone. Therefore, you need to find and occupy Yuntai. Once you occupy Yuntai for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it will be considered yours, and no one else can invade it," the white-bearded old man explained.

"Well then, I don't need to go into the other rules. The main focus of this competition is to test your ability to control beasts, so magical artifacts, talismans, and the like are not allowed."

The white-bearded old man spoke about each item one by one.

"Now, everyone take a break, and then we'll enter the valley to compete once the fog clears!"
