Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 180 Foundation Establishment Pill Acquired

"Go get a good night's sleep..."

As his thoughts drifted, Yu Changsheng's mind stirred slightly, and he brought up the data panel.

"Not a single drop of essence was left, but the gains were still enormous..."

Yu Changsheng felt the surging magical power within his body, smiled slightly, and examined his inner vision. In this battle, it could be said that the spirit beasts played a crucial role.

"Huh?"

Yu Changsheng's brows twitched slightly, somewhat surprised. Throughout the Myriad Manifestations Sect, in all its mountains, rivers, lakes, and all living beings, invisible auras flowed toward Yu Changsheng. He could not see them, and even his Golden Core divine sense could not detect anything unusual.

"The interior space has expanded again? And the three spirit pets seem to have become somewhat unusual?"

Yu Changsheng was surprised. After carefully examining the inner scene, he found that there seemed to be an invisible force supporting it, causing the already enormous inner scene to expand even further. The three spirit beasts that were sleeping inside suddenly began to shimmer with light, and their original injuries began to heal rapidly.

As if sensing something, the Crimson Serpent closed its eyes tightly, but its head retracted slightly, and it flicked out its tongue and licked itself.

"Is it the magic of this heavenly ladder?"

Yu Changsheng seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't dwell on it too much. In short, it seemed to be a good thing.

The light from the teleportation array faded, and Yu Changsheng's figure appeared at the foot of the mountain. The three hours had just ended, and the Heavenly Ladder Trial was now completely over.

Some were delighted, some regretful, some unwilling, some resentful... but when Yu Changsheng appeared, everyone involuntarily turned their gaze to him, their eyes filled with admiration mixed with a hint of... fear?

When Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lu Ruikai and a group of elders.

Lu Ruikai stepped forward, looking at Yu Changsheng with a strange yet complex expression in his eyes. After a moment, he patted Yu Changsheng's shoulder and said gently:

"Not bad, you've successfully inscribed your own Dao mark. Well done, you're number one in this Heavenly Ladder Trial."

Knowing that there is nothing that can be done, one should remain calm and accept it... If one's heart has something to aspire to, what fear is there of a long and difficult road?

Lu Ruikai knew that Yu Changsheng must have seen his inscription and that was his reply to his words. The difference between the two was obvious.

Thinking of this, Lu Ruikai chuckled, and the last trace of dissatisfaction he had felt towards Yu Changsheng vanished.

"Thank you very much for the medicine, Sect Leader."

Yu Changsheng said respectfully, without any arrogance. He now understood why Lu Ruikai had given him a Rejuvenation Pill.

The greatest benefit of the last few steps was not Yu Changsheng himself, but rather the Rejuvenation Pill. Without its support, he would never have been able to persevere on them.

Presumably, all of this is why Lu Ruikai gave himself the Rejuvenation Pill; it can be said that he played an indispensable role in creating it.

As for the Dao Mark he mentioned, Yu Changsheng was taken aback, but he could roughly guess what he meant.

"Since that's the case..."

Lu Ruikai nodded, glanced around, and announced loudly, "First place in the Heavenly Ladder Trial: Yu Changsheng, 8,000 steps!"

"Second place, Gu Zhen, 7,500 steps."

"Third place..."

One by one, names were read out. All the disciples who had climbed the five thousand steps had passed, but the most dazzling among them was undoubtedly Yu Changsheng.

Elder Li listened to the voice, sighed softly, and looked at Yu Changsheng with a complicated expression.

Yun Hejing smiled gently, her expression somewhat dazed, but mostly gratified. She immediately joked with Elder Li:

"What's wrong, Elder Li? Don't forget our bet."

"Hmph," Elder Li flicked his sleeve, grunted, and his expression returned to calm. "No, when he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, he can come to Yujian Peak to find me. I will naturally give him that spot. Am I the kind of person who breaks his word?"

"No, thank you very much, Elder Li."

Yun Hejing's smile deepened.

Elder Li waved his hand, patted his chest, and felt a tightness in his chest.

Logically speaking, since Huang Suyu, whom he had always valued, was killed by Yu Changsheng, he should hate Yu Changsheng. But in fact, he just couldn't bring himself to hate him.

After all, he was an elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. He would be happy that another genius had emerged from the sect, even if the genius was not from the Imperial Sword Peak.

It's a pity about Huang Suyu; if he hadn't died, then there would have been two geniuses this year.

"That's all, it's all in the past."

Elder Li sighed inwardly, and in his conflicted state, he reluctantly took out a jade bottle and handed it to Yun Hejing.

"There's a Foundation Establishment Pill in here. If you lose, you lose. There's nothing more to say."

"Elder Li is magnanimous, his demeanor is no less impressive than that of a sword cultivator."

Yun Hejing praised the pill, but did not rush to accept it. Instead, she glanced at Yu Changsheng and pondered, "I'm not using the Foundation Establishment Pill myself. I was just making a bet for that little guy. I'll trouble Elder Li to deliver it personally."

"Alright." Elder Li was taken aback, but immediately understood Yun Hejing's thoughts. His expression softened, and he nodded in agreement.

Yun Hejing was hoping to do a favor, even though the pills would eventually go to Yu Changsheng anyway, but delivering them personally would make a completely different difference.

Thinking it over, Elder Li walked past the crowd and came to Yu Changsheng, gently handing him the pill.

"I lost a bet with Elder Yun earlier, and this is one of the stakes: a Foundation Establishment Pill. I hope you can establish your foundation soon and have a smooth path to enlightenment."

Yu Changsheng was stunned. Yun Hejing, who was standing to the side, smiled and explained, "Take it. This is Elder Li's kind gesture. You have to accept the loss..."

She then explained the bet between her and Elder Li to Yu Changsheng. Yu Changsheng suddenly understood, glanced gratefully at Yun Hejing, and accepted the pill.

"Thank you, Elder Li. Thank you, Elder Yun. I will remember your kindness today."

Elder Li waved his hand, then hesitated, saying nothing, only nodding slightly.

After carefully putting away the pill, Yu Changsheng was slightly dazed. He hadn't expected to get the Foundation Establishment Pill he had been searching for so long. He was excited and warmed his heart, feeling even more grateful to Yun Hejing.

Why is Elder Yun so good to him, standing unconditionally on his side and even willing to gamble with a peak second-tier spirit beast?

Yu Changsheng felt a little strange, but he didn't show it. He just assumed that he had met the other party once before and that there was some kind of fate between them.
