Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 184: A Review of the Gains

Inner disciples are the core of the sect, and their privileges far surpass those of outer disciples. However, there are different statuses among inner disciples. First, there are the peak master's personal disciples, the chief disciples, who enjoy the resources of the peak. Next are the inner elder disciples, followed by ordinary inner disciples.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng felt that as Wei Lao's disciple, he was no less than that of the peak master's personal disciple. He had all the necessary privileges, and even some.

"Thank you, Master," Yu Changsheng said gratefully.

"Since we're already master and disciple, there's no need to be so polite. Besides, this is what you deserve. If you had agreed to become Lu Ruikai back then, you would at least be the disciple of the deputy sect leader," Elder Wei said with a smile.

Yu Changsheng scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "So what? When he sees Master, doesn't he still obediently address himself as a junior?"

Old Wei smiled and nodded, saying with emotion, "He was only being respectful to my status; in terms of ability, I'm no match for him."

"Identity is meaningless; strength is what matters most. I have high expectations for you. First, master these two cultivation techniques: one for body tempering, which is suitable for your current stage, and one for magic, which can be used in conjunction with beast taming, with elements of the same attribute complementing each other. As for the others, don't cultivate anything too messy."

"It's not about having many techniques, but about mastering them. You should study the Beast Shadow technique you used before, as well as the Thousand Thoughts Slash technique I taught you."

Speaking of the Beast Shadow, Old Wei took a sip of tea. The steaming mist obscured the expression on his face, concealing the vicissitudes and reminiscence in his eyes.

"Yes, Master," Yu Changsheng replied obediently.

"Well, go and cultivate properly. You can ask me anything you don't understand. Anyway, I'm just basking in the sun in this beast garden with nothing else to do."

As he spoke, Old Wei smiled and patted the little black tortoise on his knee.

A hint of displeasure flashed across the little black tortoise's face before it shrank back.

"Your most urgent task is to improve your cultivation level."

"You have already reached the peak of Qi Refining. You can start thinking about Foundation Establishment now. If you lack anything, tell your master."

Old Wei smiled faintly.

After chatting for a while, Yu Changsheng took his leave. After Yu Changsheng left, the smile on Old Wei's face gradually disappeared. He sipped his tea and muttered to himself.

"It hasn't been long, has it? Is it the luck of my Beast Taming Peak? Or is it just his own good fortune?"

"A unique beast-taming physique...and a spiritual consciousness refined to the point of being comparable to a Golden Core cultivator..."

"He's just like Cao Jinxian from back then, except he doesn't know how to use a sword."

At this point, Old Wei narrowed his eyes, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He casually raised his hand and wiped it.

"I'm getting old, I won't live much longer. I just hope I won't become another Cao Jinxian, hahaha."

With a smile, Old Wei patted the little black tortoise again, regardless of whether the tucked-in head inside could hear him.

"Old man, don't worry, trust me one more time..."

"Now that we've been promoted to inner sect, we should find a new place to live."

Holding the inner sect jade slip given to him by Elder Wei, Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment. After making up his mind, he informed the affairs hall and finally chose a new cave dwelling on the upper part of the mountainside of Beast Taming Peak.

With the help of Elder Wei's jade slip, Yu Changsheng could actually choose most of the Beast Taming Peak, even the summit. However, he ultimately chose a quiet and convenient place with abundant spiritual energy as his final cave dwelling.

It has everything from small hills and pavilions to flowing water. For a certain fee, servants can even be arranged to serve you. Compared to the outer disciples, it is much better, which makes Yu Changsheng very satisfied.

After arranging everything, he finally had some free time and couldn't wait to open Huang Suyu's treasure bag to take a look.

"Let me see if Huang Suyu has any treasures."

Upon opening the treasure bag, the first thing that catches the eye is a mountain of spirit stones, numbering in the tens of thousands with just a cursory glance.

"He's already so wealthy after just reaching the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, secretly clicking his tongue, but mostly he was overjoyed. With a sweep of his divine sense, he could see all the other items in the treasure bag.

Besides spirit stones, Huang Suyu's treasure bag contained some sword manuals, but Yu Changsheng wasn't interested after just a quick glance.

However, an ancient, blood-red scripture in the corner caught Yu Changsheng's attention.

"The Four Swords of Annihilation?"

Yu Changsheng examined it carefully, his eyes gleaming. He still vividly remembered the sword technique that Huang Suyu had used.

So I quickly flipped through it, and after only a short while, I was somewhat disappointed.

"It's just a fragment. Although I don't need it, its power is amazing, and its value is definitely there. I'll think of a way to make it a selling point later."

Yu Changsheng pondered. Apart from these, most of the rest were miscellaneous items, and at a glance, very few of them were actually useful.

"what?"

Just as Yu Changsheng was about to withdraw his divine sense, his expression changed, and he was somewhat surprised. Then, a thought flashed through his mind. In an inconspicuous corner, a gray animal skin paper appeared in his hand.

The animal hide was ancient and rustic, made from some unknown mythical beast. The signs of age were very obvious, and its grayish-black color was not easily noticeable without close inspection.

"How come I didn't notice this thing earlier?"

Upon receiving the animal hide, Yu Changsheng was curious and surprised. He reached out and gently stroked it, feeling a slight coolness. He couldn't tell what material it was, but it felt very comfortable.

"This material is not simple," Yu Changsheng pondered, slowly unfolding the animal hide.

One after another, ancient lines appeared, as if engraved on them like fresh blood, and a faint smell of blood entered Yu Changsheng's nose.

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, and he carefully examined every corner of the animal hide with his divine sense, but he found nothing else and felt no other danger.

"Is this a map?"

The blood-red lines on the animal hide were not chaotic, but orderly, as if recording something. Unfortunately, no matter how Yu Changsheng examined them, he found nothing or any strange phenomena.

"You didn't even add any annotations, how is anyone supposed to understand this?"

Yu Changsheng shook his head helplessly. After checking several times without finding anything, he gave up, put it into his system inventory, and didn't dwell on it any longer.

Perhaps Huang Suyu knew what was on it, but now that Huang Suyu was dead beyond any doubt, Yu Changsheng could only leave it to fate.

"This Huang Suyu doesn't seem very wealthy. That's all he has."

After examining everything in the treasure bag, Yu Changsheng pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

Huang Suyu's treasure bag contained a considerable amount of spirit stones, as well as many miscellaneous items such as pills, medicinal herbs, and talismans. While these items had some value, most of them were for refining qi. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, such wealth was somewhat inconsistent with his status.

However, Yu Changsheng thought about it again and realized that Huang Suyu had only recently established his foundation, so he let it go.

"Moreover, the most valuable thing is not these, but Huang Suyu's Dragon Roar Sword."

With a thought, Yu Changsheng summoned the Dragon Roar Sword from his backpack into his hand. The sword gleamed with a cold light. Yu Changsheng smiled slightly and flicked his finger lightly on the sword, producing a clear ringing sound that echoed throughout the room.

"Clang!!!"

"Not bad," Yu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. "It seems that Huang Suyu used all his wealth to forge this sword. It is indeed a top-notch magic weapon."

"Most importantly, it even gave birth to a faint artifact spirit. It seems that it has probably reached the standard of a low-grade spiritual treasure."

Magical artifacts range from the simplest ordinary weapons to magical treasures, and above magical treasures are spiritual treasures, each of which is incredibly valuable.

Huang Suyu's Dragon Roar weapon was refined day and night, requiring countless efforts and precious materials. Its quality was the best Yu Changsheng had ever seen.

Furthermore, it has already become spiritually connected, providing a foundation and possibility for its future advancement into a spiritual treasure, which is the most important thing.

It can be said that the most valuable thing Huang Suyu owns is this Dragon Roar Sword, which is more valuable than all his previous possessions combined.

Yu Changsheng pondered, his fingers lightly tapping the Dragon Cry Sword.

The Dragon Cry Sword trembled slightly, with invisible energy flowing within it, as if it were struggling.

"Interesting." Yu Changsheng frowned slightly, and exerted more force in his hand, his vast divine sense covering every corner of the Dragon Roar Sword.

"Considering that it wasn't easy for you to gain spiritual insight, I'll give you two choices: either submit and be used by me, or be erased from my life."

Yu Changsheng said calmly, his voice cold. Under his vast divine sense, he could sense the trace of spirit hidden within the Dragon Roar Sword.

The opponent already possessed a faint will, and under the cover of Yu Changsheng's divine sense, it trembled, causing even the sword to tremble, and mournful cries echoed continuously.

However, Yu Changsheng didn't care, and the spirit within struggled violently, seemingly stubborn and unwilling to yield even in the face of death.

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng frowned, his vast and surging divine sense transforming into a towering wave, about to wipe out the faint spirit on it.
