Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 145 The Generous Manager Xi

"Yu Changsheng... I can't touch you while you're in the sect, but if something happens to you during the inner sect trial, then there's nothing more to say."

"With your cultivation level, you certainly won't miss the inner sect trial. If you do miss it, it's alright. If you don't participate this year, I can wait until next year."

Thinking about all this, a cold glint flashed in Huang Suyu's eyes, and she smiled lightly.

He chose to participate in the inner sect trial, firstly because of Yu Changsheng, and secondly because he was confident that with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, passing the trial would not be a problem.

Moreover, if one performs well during the trials, one can attract the attention of some elders and be accepted as a personal disciple, which is not impossible, since such things happen every few years.

He was also very confident in his talent.

.........

Back at the Qiyao Pavilion, Yu Changsheng spent most of his time there during this period, cultivating spirit beasts to supply goods while also practicing his cultivation.

The Qiyao Pavilion's routine has also been established. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will hold an auction every quarter, and will also sell some mutated spirit beasts in the shop at other times.

Business was booming, but no one dared to be envious or cause trouble, and everything proceeded smoothly.

A month later, Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, finished his cultivation, and felt the improvement in his cultivation level.

"We can try to establish our foundation now..." Yu Changsheng pondered. "However, to be on the safe side, we should wait until our Qi cultivation has reached its peak before attempting to establish our foundation. That way, the success rate will be the highest."

"As for now, I can start preparing. I have enough resources during this period. After purchasing the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, I will exchange them for some new spells. The spells I currently possess are still too basic. This way, I will have the greatest chance of success in the inner sect trial a month from now."

Having made up his mind, Yu Changsheng didn't waste any time. After giving Yu Dahai some instructions in advance, he got up and went to Yipin Pharmacy.

Upon recognizing the visitor, Manager Xi immediately stood up with a smile to greet him, saying, "Isn't this a rare guest? It's been so long since we've seen Master Luo; it's truly a rare treat to have him visit."

"Hehe, I've been busy improving my cultivation and going into seclusion lately, so I haven't been out and about as much." Yu Changsheng clasped his hands and smiled.

"I see." Manager Xi nodded. "I wonder if Master Luo needs anything this time? Are you looking to buy materials or take orders for alchemy?"

"We do need to buy some materials. Take a look at these materials; what's their value? Are they still in stock?"

After saying that, Yu Changsheng took out a list of medicinal herbs that he had written in advance and handed it to Manager Xi.

Manager Xi unfolded the package and glanced at Yu Changsheng, slightly surprised: "We just received a new batch of goods recently, which can generally meet our needs, but... the value of these medicinal herbs is quite high."

"It's good that you have the goods." Yu Changsheng smiled slightly. "As for the price, Manager Xi, you've already stated it clearly. Just give me a reasonable price."

"Alright," Manager Xi nodded, "then I won't hide anything from you. These medicinal herbs of yours are quite valuable and rare to find."

"All things considered, even with the biggest discount I can offer, it'll probably cost around ten thousand spirit stones."

After finishing his sentence, Manager Xi took a sip of tea and was about to continue, "I can find a way to..."

Before Manager Xi could finish speaking, Yu Changsheng's next words made him swallow back what he wanted to say next.

"No problem," Yu Changsheng readily agreed.

"..." Manager Xi's face flushed red as he stared at Yu Changsheng in shock. After a long pause, he finally managed to stammer, "Are you sure?"

"Yes." Yu Changsheng nodded affirmatively.

"Alright, come in and sit down. Please wait a moment." Manager Xi's expression also became serious. He led Yu Changsheng to sit down in the pavilion, brewed him some tea, and then went to find medicinal herbs for him.

Although he was shocked by Yu Changsheng's wealth—ten thousand spirit stones was no small sum—he did not doubt Yu Changsheng's words; there was really no need to.

After all, as a pill refiner, Yu Changsheng would occasionally refine some pills to sell, and the quality of these pills was not low, ranging from first-tier to second-tier, with several pill patterns.

Alchemists have always been wealthy cultivators.

Before long, Manager Xi walked in carrying a storage bag.

"These are the medicinal herbs you need. Please take a look at them," Manager Xi said.

"Okay." Yu Changsheng took the storage bag, examined it with his divine sense for a while, and nodded in satisfaction.

Both the age and quality of the medicinal herbs met the requirements, and some herbs were even prepared in extra quantities, which shows the manager's good intentions.

Without hesitation, he took out a spirit ticket worth 10,000 low-grade spirit stones and gave it to Manager Xi.

Spirit tickets, similar to the checks Yu Changsheng had in his previous life, have special markings and can be exchanged for spirit stones in certain places in this world.

"If your check is fine, I'll head back."

Manager Xi took the spirit ticket, examined it carefully, and after confirming its accuracy, gave Yu Changsheng an apologetic look and said:

"It's a job, so I can't be careless. Please excuse my poor workmanship."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do." Yu Changsheng waved his hand, not caring at all.

After all, it's understandable that Manager Xi would be suspicious if he suddenly produced such a spirit ticket. After all, most cultivators with tens of thousands of spirit stones would use spirit tickets instead of spirit stones, and would only consider using them when they had a particularly large amount of spirit stones.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll head back now. I'll come back to visit Manager Xi another day." Yu Changsheng took the medicinal herbs and prepared to leave.

Manager Xi watched as Yu Changsheng turned to leave, gritted his teeth, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, which was immediately replaced by determination.

"Wait a minute!" Manager Xi took a deep breath, paused for a moment under the latter's questioning gaze, as if thinking about how to organize his words.

"Is there anything else, Manager Xi?" Yu Changsheng asked.

"It's like this, I remember that Master Luo Dan had a disciple in the Yu family, and he was a beast tamer, right?" Manager Xi pondered, then awkwardly slapped his forehead.

"Yes, that's true."

This isn't exactly a secret; Yu Changsheng had previously revealed a little bit about it in order to get the Xi family to help the Yu family face the Chen family.

"I have... a pill formula that I obtained by chance. Young friend, take a look and see if it can help you." Facing Yu Changsheng's curious gaze, Manager Xi took out a scroll and handed it to Yu Changsheng.

The scroll was simple and elegant, exuding a grand and imposing air. Yu Changsheng opened it with curiosity.

"Beast-Nourishing Pill?"

After an incense stick had burned, Yu Changsheng closed the scroll, his gaze slightly narrowed.

According to the description, this is a pill specifically designed to enhance beast taming abilities, especially helpful for breaking through to higher realms in beast taming. Its importance to Yu Changsheng is self-evident.

"How much is this?" Yu Changsheng asked hesitantly.

"It's free! Let's be friends!" Manager Xi said magnanimously, waving his hand with an air of generosity.

"Make friends?" Yu Changsheng was taken aback and looked at Manager Xi with surprise. This Beast-Nourishing Pill was quite valuable, probably comparable to those third-tier pills. Manager Xi was so willing to part with it.

After a moment's hesitation, Yu Changsheng gave Manager Xi a deep look and nodded, saying, "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony with Manager Xi. Thank you for your generosity."
