Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 20 Family Reply

Regardless of whether Steward Chang realized it or not, as he said, what does Luo Lesheng's actions have to do with Yu Changsheng if there is no evidence?

Huang Suyu is an outer sect genius and does not yet have the ability to openly challenge the sect's rules. As long as he stays on the outer peak and is careful, he is unlikely to be in any danger.

Yu Changsheng carried the chosen spirit chicken to the Affairs Hall and spent five low-grade spirit stones to redeem it.

Back in the cabin, Yu Changsheng did not immediately transform the spirit chicken into the spirit chicken king. Instead, he planned to keep it in the spirit beast bag for a few more days and then ship it out at a different time.

Otherwise, if you buy a Spirit Chicken and then receive a Spirit Chicken King from the Beast Tower right after, it's easy to arouse suspicion if it happens too often.

Caution and prudence are the foundation of his survival.

A few more days passed.

The outer peak remained as calm as ever.

Yu Changsheng finally received a letter from his family, containing his father Yu Chenghe's concern and information about the spirit stones he needed most.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones, delivered personally by my uncle?"

Yu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by this number. He knew his family's circumstances, but he was still quite astonished that they could squeeze out a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

"My uncle was always against me joining the Myriad Manifestations Sect, but this time he offered to help. There must be something wrong with that."

After much deliberation, he decided to go and meet them, to deal with their moves as they came, otherwise he couldn't just leave without taking the spirit stones, could he?

After disguising himself, Yu Changsheng successfully left the outer peak and arrived at the Tong'an Inn according to the address on the letter.

Tong'an Inn is very famous in Yufang City. It is a temporary place of stay specially prepared for visiting cultivators. As long as you stay here, the inn will protect your safety whether you are fleeing or being hunted down.

The inn is backed by a Foundation Establishment elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and ordinary cultivators dare not offend him.

Yu Changsheng arrived at a room on the third floor of the inn and knocked on the door.

The door creaked open.

The person who opened the door was a man in black, about twenty-five years old, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

Yu Changsheng frowned slightly upon seeing this, not expecting his cousin to come with his uncle.

"Oh, it's Changsheng. Come in."

Inside the house, an elderly man with half-white hair saw Yu Changsheng standing at the door, smiled, and reached out his hand to him.

"Uncle," Yu Changsheng greeted respectfully as he entered.

When had his uncle ever given him such a kind look? This made him feel uneasy.

"Sit down," Yu Zhiguo said with a smile, pointing to a wooden chair beside him.

However, Yu Changsheng glanced at his cousin, but instead of sitting down immediately, he went straight to the point and asked, "Uncle, it wasn't easy for me to come out like this. I have to go back and get back to work this afternoon. Did Father ask you to bring one hundred spirit stones?"

Yu Zhiguo cleared his throat and said, "It's like this, Changsheng, your brother is planning to break through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. You know that the family is very short of spirit stones, and you don't need that many resources at the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Why don't you lend these spirit stones to your brother first?"

"Chang Sheng, don't worry, it's just a loan. Your uncle's family will definitely make up for the lost spirit stones in a few years."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and his face turned ugly.

According to the letter from his father, Yu Chenghe, the spirit stone came from the dividends of the Yu family's new business and belonged to their family. Therefore, even if his uncle and others objected, they could not stop it.

But little did I know that a follow-up move was waiting for me here!

"Uncle, you're joking. This batch of spirit stones is very important to me; I can't do without them," Yu Changsheng said seriously after calming himself down.

"Hmph, what's so important about you?"

"The reason why our Yu family is only second-rate in Haoyue City is because we don't have any Foundation Establishment cultivators. Now that I have the talent to establish a Foundation Establishment, what are a mere hundred low-grade spirit stones? It's an honor to borrow from you."

The one who spoke was Yu Changsheng's cousin, the aloof man in black.

Yu Changsheng glanced at him, wondering how a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator could have the nerve to say such things, let alone be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

He's already twenty-five years old and hasn't broken through to the eighth level of Qi Refining. If it were him, he'd be so ashamed he wouldn't want to go out.

"Chang Ao!"

Standing to the side, Yu Zhiguo straightened his face and shouted, "How dare you speak to your younger brother like that?"

Yu Changsheng didn't mind the other party's attitude, because he had already experienced Yu Changao's arrogance back in the family. Now, the most important thing was spirit stones! Spirit stones!

He took a breath and then released the disguised magic power from the beads around his waist, turning his disguised Qi Refining Level 2 into Qi Refining Level 4.

"I'm about to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, and in early summer six months from now, I'll be participating in the sect's selection to advance to an outer disciple. Do you think that's important or not?"

Yu Changsheng looked directly at Yu Changao and said coldly.

Previously, Yu Chang'ao hadn't used his divine sense to scan Yu Changsheng's cultivation level, but now that Yu Changsheng had revealed it, he immediately sensed something was different.

"Qi Refinement Level 4? You've only been in the sect for two months, how could you have improved so quickly!" Yu Chang'ao's expression changed instantly.

"I'm doing very well in the sect, and with Steward Chang looking after me, I was even rewarded with several Spirit-Enhancing Pills last month. Is it really that difficult to break through two minor realms?"

Yu Changsheng's words carried a hint of oppressive force.

Yu Chang'ao's expression turned extremely ugly. He sneered, "So what if you've broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining? There are plenty of stronger menial laborers than you in the sect's selection process. How could you possibly be chosen?"

"Many menial laborers spend their entire lives doing menial tasks and never get ahead!"

He had barely finished speaking when Yu Zhiguo slapped him on the head and yelled, "Shut up!"

Yu Chang'ao's arrogance was shattered this time, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

He had never been hit by anyone before, but now he was actually hit by his own father. He was already twenty-five years old, how could he bear such an injustice? His eyes immediately reddened and he glared angrily.

"Chang Sheng, don't mind him, you know your brother's temper."

"If your uncle knew you were about to reach the fifth level of Qi Refining and participate in the sect selection, he wouldn't have come to speak up this time."

A look of embarrassment flashed across Yu Zhiguo's face. He glanced at Yu Changsheng apologetically, then took out his treasure bag and said...

"But I only have eighty spirit stones left after buying some pills for Yu Chang'ao today."

Yu Changsheng has now truly learned a lesson about the other party's shamelessness; they used the spirit stones given to him by his father without his consent!

He was so angry that he almost cursed, but remembering that the other person was his elder, he could only suppress his disgust and accept the spirit stone.

The only saving grace is that there are still eighty spirit stones left, which should be enough to cover the cost of selling the spirit chicken king.

"Uncle, remember to give the remaining twenty coins to my father when you get back." Yu Changsheng had no other choice but to say this.

"Definitely, definitely, we have twenty of those at home," Yu Zhiguo said with a smile.

Yu Changsheng didn't want to say anything more. After saying goodbye to the other party, he turned and left. He thought to himself, "I still need to write a letter to my father about this. I can't let my uncle send spirit stones anymore!"

After he left, Yu Chang'ao suddenly cried out, "Father, why did you give him those spirit stones? Without those eighty, I might not even be able to break through this month!"

Yu Zhiguo's expression turned serious as he looked at him and said.

"Didn't you hear what your brother said? He's going to participate in the selection soon."

"But even if he's at the fifth level of Qi Refining, do you think he can pass it on his first try?" Yu Chang'ao said, unconvinced.

Yu Zhiguo said quietly, "He has someone taking care of him."

"What if?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chang'ao shut up completely.

The status of outer disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect is different from that of servants; even if a family member has reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they must still show deference to them.
