Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 120 Taking Body Tempering Pills

Yu Changsheng had no idea what Mo Pengchen and Elder Wei had discussed.

After returning to his residence, Yu Changsheng began to tally up what he had gained from the trip.

"The Xuan Turtle Ancestor and all that are too far removed from my current goals. Improving my strength in a tangible way is the most important thing I should be doing right now!"

"Overall, the results of this competition were quite remarkable."

After pondering for a moment, Yu Changsheng decomposed the spirit beast corpses he had captured during the competition and exchanged them for essence points. Even if these low-level spirit beast corpses were fed to the Crimson Serpent, they wouldn't provide much improvement.

As for some late-stage Tier 1 corpses, Yu Changsheng would feed them to the Golden-Winged Eagle, so that they would at least have some growth.

"I obtained more than 10,000 essences in total."

Looking at the additional values ​​on the data panel, Yu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.

Last time I upgraded the Star Deer, I used up almost all of its essence, but this time I replenished quite a bit.

Yu Changsheng also opened and sorted through Lei Kai and the others' treasure bags. There were countless miscellaneous items, but they were mostly of little use to Yu Changsheng.

The harvest of spirit stones was decent, totaling around a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

With a thought, Yu Changsheng brought up a data panel.

Name: Yu Changsheng

[Realm Level: Eighth Level of Qi Refining]

[Physique: Affinity with Spirit Beasts]

【功法：长春功熟练（5/10000）炼神功小成（60/5000000）御兽决精通（33/100000）三文火炼丹术精通（108/100000）】

【法术：火球术小成（435/100000）、影闪精通（230/50000）、风行术精通（350/10000）、木盾术精通（182/10000）、行雨术入门（10/100）、千念斩熟练（15/100000）】

[Skills: Tier 1 Spirit Plants (5/1000), Tier 2 Alchemy (1052/50000)]

[Spirit Pets: Crimson Serpent, Golden-Winged Eagle, Colorful Star Deer]

[Remaining Essence: 26510]

"In addition, the harvest in Yuntai Valley this time was mostly medicinal herbs. I will take advantage of this time to refine them into pills and help the Golden-Winged Eagle break through."

Without further ado, Yu Changsheng took out the alchemy furnace, prepared the medicinal herbs and placed them aside, then sat cross-legged, calmed his mind, made hand seals, and mobilized his magical power.

He cast a spell to ignite a fire beneath the alchemy furnace, which swayed and took shape before slowly flowing into the furnace. Under the control of his powerful divine sense, not a single drop leaked out.

"Red Heart Grass and Lingzhi Tea, White and Slender Mushrooms."

One by one, the medicinal herbs were placed into the alchemy furnace in an orderly manner and gradually refined, and an enticing aroma wafted out from the furnace.

Yu Changsheng has now mastered the art of alchemy with the Three Fires technique to perfection.

And so, an hour slowly passed.

Yu Changsheng looked at the three bottles of pills in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

"These pills are not enough for me to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, but they should be enough for the Golden-Winged Eagle to break through to the eighth level of the first rank."

With a thought, Yu Changsheng summoned the Golden-Winged Eagle and, under its gentle gaze, began to feed it pills.

Although they were all first-tier pills, the quantity was large, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Golden-Winged Eagle could successfully break through to the eighth level of the first tier.

[You have successfully fed a Golden-Winged Eagle, consuming 1 Pregnancy Pill, and received a reward of 510 Essence Points and a small amount of Mana.]

A few days later, the Golden-Winged Eagle successfully broke through to the eighth level of the first tier.

The golden-winged eagle cried out happily twice and nuzzled Yu Changsheng's palm affectionately.

Although the magical energy boosted Yu Changsheng's cultivation, it wasn't enough for him to break through.

At this point, all three spirit pets had reached the eighth level of the first tier.

After sensing the changes in his cultivation level, Yu Changsheng thought to himself, "I'm still a bit short. If I could help the Crimson Serpent or the Colorful Star Deer advance in cultivation, I should be able to break through."

"Right now, my spiritual sense is sufficient, and my Qi cultivation is at this level for the time being. So, I need to strengthen my physical body."

"Besides, for beast tamers, the physical body is always a weakness. The body-strengthening pills from the previous alchemy competition were quite good. Let's go to Manager Xi and get some materials."

Having made up his mind, Yu Changsheng went out and went to the fish market, where he met Manager Xi.

During this period, Yu Changsheng was quite busy and visited Yipin Pharmacy less often, but Manager Xi remained respectful to him and quickly found the materials he needed.

Back at Beast Taming Peak, Yu Changsheng meditated to bring his energy and spirit to their peak before continuing to refine pills.

Although the Body Tempering Pill is a second-tier pill, the ingredients are not too difficult to find. However, Manager Xi only provided three doses of the ingredients, so we naturally need to be careful.

Practice makes perfect. With the experience of refining pills last time, Yu Changsheng was much more proficient in refining the Body Tempering Pill this time. However, adhering to the attitude of striving for excellence, Yu Changsheng did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

After taking a few pills to restore spiritual energy, another hour passed.

Yu Changsheng's eyes snapped open, a glint of light flashing within them. He slapped the alchemy furnace and uttered a low shout: "The elixir is complete!"

Instantly, flames carrying ten round, plump pills shot out. Their blood-red exteriors were surrounded by wisps of pill mist. Six of them were Body Tempering Pills, three of which had a pill pattern on them. The fragrant aroma of the pills instantly filled the entire room.

This elixir is far superior to those refined during the alchemy competition.

With a sigh, Yu Changsheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the pill and examined it carefully before revealing a smile.

"Not bad. If it were put up for auction, it would probably fetch a good price."

"Body Tempering Pills are usually only for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although Qi Refining cultivators can take them, firstly, they cannot fully absorb them, which would greatly waste the medicinal effect. Secondly, under the violent effects of the medicine, if not controlled properly, it may damage the meridians throughout the body."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then his gaze became decisive.

"But if it were me, there shouldn't be any major problems."

After the last alchemy conference, Gongsun Yang gave Yu Changsheng a Body Tempering Pill. After taking it, he used his powerful spiritual sense to control the effects of the medicine in his body and digest them completely.

After thinking it through, Yu Changsheng no longer hesitated. He summoned the Crimson Serpent, the Golden-Winged Eagle, and the Colorful Star Deer, and fed them three Body Tempering Pills without pill patterns. He then tilted his head back and swallowed the remaining Body Tempering Pill himself.

The physical strength of spirit beasts is incomparable to that of humans. For Qi Refining cultivators, taking Body Tempering Pills may still pose some risks, but for demon beasts, it is completely safe.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, Yu Changsheng dared not be negligent. He controlled the pill to dissolve little by little, and the violent medicinal power was released, quickly circulating throughout his body.

"Such a potent effect! No wonder it's a body-strengthening pill."

Yu Changsheng's breathing became disordered for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and focused all his energy on attracting energy. A violent burst of energy exploded in his body, and Yu Changsheng's face suddenly turned bright red.

First his head, then, as the medicine flowed, his neck, shoulders, and abdomen also turned bright red, like a red-hot iron, and an astonishing heat emanated from every pore of Yu Changsheng's body.

At the same time, tearing pains shot through all parts of his body, causing Yu Changsheng's expression to change instantly. Beads of sweat streamed down his forehead and back, instantly wetting the ground.

"Rumble!!!"

Yu Changsheng's body seemed to have transformed into a furnace, and his bones and meridians became the refined iron being forged in the furnace, being hammered and forged one hammer blow after another.
