Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 18 Disguised Beads

Yu Changsheng cleaned up the traces on the ground, and was about to release a fireball spell to destroy Luo Lesheng's body when a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

His gaze was fixed on the Red Serpent King.

You can obtain essence by feeding the flesh of demonic beasts, so what if you feed it to cultivators? Can you also obtain essence by feeding them?

Thinking about this, his hands became somewhat out of control. On the one hand, he felt that this behavior was too evil and crooked, but on the other hand, he felt that he couldn't waste it.

So he shook the corpse at the Red Serpent King.

The Red Serpent King blinked, seemingly understanding something, and slowly swam over.

My owner seems to be going to feed me something strange.

Eating people is a common behavior among demonic beasts. Many bloodthirsty and violent demonic beasts will even swallow cultivators whole during battle.

However, the Crimson Serpent King's current cultivation level is too low to achieve such an exaggerated feat.

It moved closer without resistance, treating the cultivator's corpse no differently than a demon beast, opening its mouth and gradually swallowing along the outline until it was finally inside its stomach.

Soon after, the system's information flashed before Yu Changsheng's expectant eyes.

[You have successfully fed a Crimson Serpent King, consuming 1 Luo Lesheng and receiving a reward of 50 Essence Points.]

Really useful!

Yu Changsheng clenched his fist excitedly, thanking his old friend for the 50 essence points after his death!

However, the fact that a Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator had consumed so many pills, yet the essence they produced was less than that from Spirit Enhancement Pills, was rather strange to him.

"Perhaps after death, the magical power within the body dissipated, and the spiritual energy absorbed was returned to the world."

Yu Changsheng could only conclude it this way, and then looked at the other two corpses.

One person was burned to death by the fireball spell, so only two corpses remained. However, Huang Li, who was the most powerful among these two corpses, was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining. It is unlikely that consuming these corpses would bring much essence.

Moreover, he needed the corpse to be displayed here, pretending it was Luo Lesheng's doing, only in this way could he deceive the sect and Huang Suyu and buy some time.

"We shouldn't be greedy for small gains when it comes to feeding the chickens for one more day."

Yu Changsheng manipulated the Soul-Breaking Nail and struck Huang Li's corpse a few more times to ensure that the shape of the wound was easily recognizable.

After carefully examining his surroundings and finding no problems, he used his Windwalking spell to return to Fish Market.

"Why hasn't Junior Brother Yu returned yet? It's almost dawn."

"Could they have run into some kind of danger?"

"The cultivators on that street aren't very powerful. If Junior Brother Yu really encountered an accident, he would ask us for help, instead of remaining so quiet."

"Wait a little longer, if it hasn't come yet, let's look around the neighborhood."

Several servants from the outer peak gathered around Zhuang Yan, discussing the matter animatedly.

Wu Shang, who had returned long ago and knew the inside story, sneered inwardly.

These guys thought that the little servant could come back, but just because he offended Huang Li, they would never let him go. Plus, there was Luo Lesheng, who was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, there was no way he could survive.

By killing the other party and seizing the rent of the thousand low-grade spirit stones, he could also use this to suppress Zhuang Yan and establish his own prestige.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. I originally wanted to get rich with you, but unfortunately, five years have passed and you are still the same, still as innocent and kind as ever."

Wu Shang's eyes flickered, showing no remorse whatsoever for being his former playmate.

Having already embarked on the path of cultivation, one must naturally be selfish and self-serving; only in this way can one stand out from the path strewn with bones.

"Alright, everyone, let's hand over the rent. It's time to count the amounts."

Wu Shang shouted with a big smile, and the surrounding servants and disciples took out spirit stones one after another.

Just then, a figure appeared on the wind, attracting everyone's attention.

Yu Changsheng landed at the entrance of the administration hall. Seeing that the time had not yet passed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

"Junior Brother Yu! You're finally back!"

"We thought you were in some kind of crisis, it really scared us to death."

"That's right, if you don't come back soon, we're going to come looking for you."

Several handyman disciples gathered around, chattering amongst themselves, their concern evident on their faces.

Zhuang Yan nodded at him and smiled, "It's good that you're back. You've handed over the spirit stones, have you collected them all?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the astonished Wu Shang and smiled.

"All collected."

Wu Shang's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that the little servant would not die but instead return!

How is this possible? What on earth is Luo Lesheng up to? He's taking money and not doing any work!

He gritted his teeth, utterly perplexed, and at the same time had a bad feeling.

Could something have happened to Huang Li?

From beginning to end, he never imagined that Yu Changsheng would kill four people, because the opponent was only at the third level of Qi Refining. It was a bit exaggerated to fight so many people who were above his level. Even a sword cultivator with extremely high talent might not be able to do it.

Yu Changsheng handed over the spirit stones with a half-smile and walked past Wu Shang.

After quickly finishing his business, Wu Shang immediately went to find Huang Li's whereabouts and eventually discovered the scene of the bloodshed in the dense forest.

"Soul-Shattering Nail, Luo Lesheng!"

His face turned pale, and he didn't know how to explain it to Huang Suyu, so he could only put the body away first.

After returning to the wooden house, Yu Changsheng couldn't wait to open his treasure bag and take stock of his spoils.

They obtained a total of 235 low-grade spirit stones, a bottle of Qi and Blood Pills, two Spirit Enhancement Pills, a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills, and some scattered spirit herbs.

In addition, he also found a pendant in Luo Lesheng's treasure bag that could conceal one's aura and cultivation level.

"Is this the magical artifact he disguised as being at the fourth level of Qi Refining?"

Yu Changsheng channeled his magic power into the hanging bead and understood its two functions: once activated, it could be carried with him to disguise his cultivation level and isolate him from others' spiritual senses. The disguised cultivation level could not exceed one major cultivation level.

For example, Yu Changsheng can now disguise himself as a lowly cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining, or he can fully activate his powers and disguise himself as a master with Foundation Establishment aura!

"What a treasure! No wonder he was so successful in the fish market, killing so many people without being caught. So that's why he had this!"

Yu Changsheng activated it with all his might, and a powerful and suffocating aura rose from within the pendant, allowing his cultivation to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

"This thing is so useful! As long as I don't make a move, no one can see through my pretense. Once I put on the mask, I'm a Foundation Establishment expert!"

Yu Changsheng was overjoyed; in his opinion, none of the other magical artifacts were as valuable as the string of beads before him.

Although the aura was fake, created using illusion magic, its effect was very real. It was enough to intimidate villains at crucial moments, and could even distract the opponent and expose their weaknesses during a battle!

However, there is also a drawback: his magic power must be maintained at all times. If he uses other spells, the aura will dissipate the next moment, making it obvious to anyone that there is a problem.

Therefore, even with this treasure by his side, Yu Changsheng cannot be careless and must still demonstrate the demeanor of a master who has reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"In Fish Market City, I doubt anyone would be foolish enough to challenge a Foundation Establishment cultivator, right?"

Yu Changsheng was secretly delighted, then looked at the two Spirit Enhancement Pills, and felt grateful for Huang Li's great help.

Reading a book is very important for the author, so please don't let it sit unfinished!
