Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 217 Establishment of the Qi Yao Pavilion Branch

With the support of his cultivation, the third spiritual platform quickly solidified, but it stalled after solidifying to about 30%.

Clearly, the advancement of a single spirit beast is not enough to propel Yu Changsheng's cultivation breakthrough, especially since Yu Changsheng is already at the second level of Foundation Establishment. The further he progresses, the more difficult the requirements for cultivation advancement become, and the resources needed also increase exponentially.

Yu Changsheng felt a little regretful, but also thoughtful: "It's not bad. It's worth several months of my hard work. If all three spirit beasts successfully advance, then I should have a chance to break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

He glanced down at the spirited Caixing deer and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad, it wasn't a waste of all the effort I put into obtaining the Azure Luo Beast. With the healing abilities of the Rainbow Star Deer, plus my own outstanding physical body, even ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators would have a hard time killing me."

After teasing the colorful star deer for a while with a smile, Yu Changsheng summoned it back to the inner realm. He then felt the emotional fluctuations of the Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle within the inner realm and smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, you'll all be able to advance soon too."

The Rainbow Star Deer itself has good potential and a high ceiling, so it's not surprising that its advancement is smooth. As for the Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle, they have been fed and raised by me until now, so as long as the materials are right, their advancement should not be a problem.

Of course, all of this is ultimately thanks to my own magic touch.

In the following days, as news of the Tang family's main force being wiped out by Yu Changsheng continued to spread, it caused a huge uproar throughout Dongyang City.

Even the surrounding cities had heard of him. In no time, the name Yu Changsheng spread throughout various forces, and they secretly told their cultivators that if they encountered him, they should befriend him.

Information about Yu Changsheng was also constantly being investigated, and even, vaguely, the name of the new generation of the number one disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, the Beast Taming Master, was spreading in some small circles, though no one knows who first spread the news.

However, this place is quite far from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, so although all of this caused a sensation, no one in the Myriad Manifestations Sect knows about it yet.

Amidst the fear and awe of the people of Dongyang City, a small pavilion-style courtyard rose from the ground in the eastern corner, marking the establishment of the first branch of the Qiyao Pavilion.

This wouldn't have been a big deal at first, until...

When people saw Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji come out to offer their congratulations together, the onlookers were shocked and instantly realized something.

"Hehe, congratulations on the establishment of Fellow Daoist Yu's Strange Demon Pavilion! It is truly an honor to have it located in my Dongyang City. Let's get along well and have more exchanges in the future."

Huo Weiyi chuckled and shook Yu Changsheng's hand, displaying great friendliness.

Yu Changsheng, also standing, waved for Yu Changao to accept the gift, then clasped his hands in a respectful bow to Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji, saying humbly:

"There's no need for you to go to such lengths. It's just a small shop, and we'll need your continued support in the future."

"Not at all," Lin Kaiji shook his head, his eyes full of sincerity. "It's all about helping each other. After Fellow Daoist Yu's Qiyao Pavilion rises to prominence, we'll need your help even more."

"Yes, yes." Yu Changsheng nodded quickly, beckoning to the two of them as he led them inside.

Inside, a special reception room had been prepared, with fine wine and food laid out on the table, clearly a carefully arranged welcome.

Outside, under Yu Chang'ao's command, the signboard of the Qi Yao Pavilion was also hung up. As the red ribbon was cut, countless onlookers cheered, their eyes filled with strange looks.

"That must have been Yu Changsheng, right? I never imagined he'd reach the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age. He truly has a bright future ahead of him."

Some people clicked their tongues in amazement.

"He's not just a simple Foundation Establishment cultivator. First, he single-handedly fought back against three Foundation Establishment cultivators who were surrounding him, and then he directly killed Tang He, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator... His combat power is terrifying and cannot be judged by ordinary standards!"

"No wonder Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji treated him with utmost respect."

Some people were deep in thought, their brows furrowed.

"Is this Yu Changsheng? Young, promising, and quite handsome, plus he has the backing of a behemoth like the Myriad Manifestations Sect. I heard he doesn't have a Daoist partner yet, perhaps..."

Some female cultivators had their eyes sparkling with longing, their thoughts swirling, and a faint smile involuntarily crept onto their lips, exuding a captivating charm.

The strong attract attention everywhere, and under this sentiment, the Qi Yao Pavilion has already generated unimaginable buzz even before its official opening.

All of this is because of Yu Changsheng.

……

Inside the room, as Yu Changsheng took the lead in picking up his chopsticks, he greeted them with a smile, "Please, seniors, have a drink. Don't be shy, it's a small favor for me."

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you're too kind. It's all my pleasure. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to be so hospitable." Huo Weiyi chuckled, showing no airs whatsoever.

Although they were old enough to be Yu Changsheng's grandfathers, the cultivation world has always valued strength above all else, so neither of them dared to put on airs.

Yu Changsheng nodded, poured wine for the two of them, then clinked glasses with them and drank it down in one gulp.

"Now that the Tang family is no longer an obstacle in Dongyang City, the two family heads should be able to develop more smoothly. I would like to congratulate you both in advance."

After speaking, Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing slightly. After exchanging a few words, Lin Kaiji raised his glass and clinked it against Yu Changsheng's.

"Yes, without the Tang family, our two businesses would be much better, as would our resources. We owe it all to Fellow Daoist Yu for your help."

Lin Kaiji spoke, a hint of something strange inadvertently appearing on his originally smiling face.

After Tang He, the head of the Tang family, was killed by Yu Changsheng, there were only three Foundation Establishment cultivators left. Two of them died at Yu Changsheng's hands, and the remaining one was just a guest elder and was not considered a member of the Tang family.

Upon hearing the news, they had already fled immediately. As for the fate of the remaining elderly, weak, women, and children, Yu Changsheng did not bother to find out.

But it's also predictable.

The original three-way balance of power quickly turned into a two-way dominance. The shops, land, and industries that originally belonged to the Tang family were completely divided up by the two. They certainly gained a lot in this round.

All of this stemmed from Yu Changsheng, hence the two were very polite to each other.

"It's nothing, just something I did on the spur of the moment," Yu Changsheng said, shaking his head.

"I had a personal grudge against him, so it was only natural that he died. I can only say that he deserved to die."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Huo Weiyi and the other man, his eyes narrowing slightly, and smiled:

"That's just how I am. There's nothing I can do about it. Since you've provoked me, you'd better be prepared to pay the price. Of course, this only applies to enemies. As for friends, I will treat them with utmost respect."

"The conflict between me and the Tang family is irreconcilable. Since he is so stubborn, it would be best to eliminate him."

Yu Changsheng spoke calmly, his tone indifferent and his expression unwavering, but the words he spoke sent chills down one's spine.

Upon hearing this, Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji's pupils contracted slightly, their expressions becoming almost imperceptible. After a moment, they smiled and said:

"Yes, the Tang family has committed numerous evils and deserves to die. Fellow Daoist Yu is acting on behalf of Heaven."

Yu Changsheng shook his head and smiled slightly, neither confirming nor denying the statement. Whether it was true or not was not important to him.

Huo Weiyi and Lin Kaiji also knew that Yu Changsheng's words were a warning to them.

Since the Tang family opposed him and has already perished, this serves as a warning. He is making his stance clear: anyone who opposes Yu Changsheng will face his wrath to the death. He is warning these two not to act rashly.

"Leaving that aside, the Tang family is now destroyed, so the two seniors should be much more relaxed. If my Qiyao Pavilion encounters any trouble in Dongyang City, please do your best to help us. Changsheng will be extremely grateful and will repay you in the future."

As Yu Changsheng spoke, he raised his glass and clinked it against the two of them, his attitude and words gentle.

"Of course, of course, that's for sure."

"Our business doesn't conflict with that of the Qiyao Pavilion; in fact, we might even be able to cooperate."

Lin Kaiji and Huo Weiyi felt a chill run down their spines, and nodded with forced smiles.

After a few rounds of drinks, the two men took their leave, and each of them, without prior arrangement, instructed their respective clansmen to send congratulatory gifts under various pretexts, clearly showing their goodwill.

Yu Changsheng readily accepted these suggestions.

The next day, Qiyao Pavilion officially opened for business. At first, its business was very simple, following the same pattern as before: selling spirit chickens and some other spirit beasts.

Despite the scrutiny from all sides, business is booming.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

After a few days of overseeing the Qi Yao Pavilion, Yu Changsheng took his leave, leaving Yu Changao to manage the business.

Three days later, they arrived at the Beast Taming Peak. Yu Changsheng had gained a lot from this trip to Dongyang City. What he did was probably quite sensational even when it reached the ears of the inner disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

Yu Changsheng went to Wei Lao's residence for a look, but no one was there. He didn't linger and continued feeding the spirit chickens as usual, watching as the essence level increased once again.

The next day, he flew towards the Wanshoulou branch in Yufang City.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, as its name suggests, specializes in supplying all kinds of spirit beasts and demon beasts. It is wealthy and its strength is unfathomable. Previously, Yu Changsheng bought the Iron Eagle King and some second-tier demon beast corpses from them.

"Now, my Rainbow Star Deer has advanced to the second tier, and the remaining Golden-Winged Eagle and Crimson Serpent are not far from advancing either. The Myriad Beasts Pavilion should have the materials they need."

"It's just that the price must be very high. If it weren't for the establishment of the Qiyao Pavilion giving me some capital, I really wouldn't dare to go in."

The spirit beasts currently sold by Qiyao Pavilion are all low-level spirit beasts, and their size is not large, so they cannot be compared with Wanshoulou.

Yu Changsheng pondered silently as he walked into the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower.

It is called a building, but it is actually a tower with eighteen floors, which gets smaller as you go up. Its size is several times that of the Qiyao Pavilion.

Above, a large plaque, with the three characters "Wan Shou Lou" written in gold with vigorous strokes, exudes an extraordinary aura.

"As expected of a renowned force in Wuzhou."

Yu Changsheng looked up and saw that the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower was surrounded by an array, with flowing light that shimmered under the sun.

In the past, Yu Changsheng bought monster corpses on the first and second floors. Those were all low-level monsters, with the highest being just over the second tier.

Today, he wants to go up to the third floor!

On the third floor, the female cultivator in the blue dress who had previously received him was no longer qualified to receive him. After Yu Changsheng went up, a dedicated attendant greeted him with a smile and a respectful tone.

"Welcome! Immortal Master, what would you like to see? Our Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion mainly deals in beast-taming items, but we also have other things."

The other person was wearing a white uniform with the words "Ten Thousand Beasts" embroidered on the back. Around the white sleeves, dragons and phoenixes were carved, and ten or a hundred beast patterns were depicted, each lifelike.

Unsurprisingly, this uniform is also a robe, offering good defense while also serving as a symbol of identity, signifying that the wearer is a member of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower, thus possessing a certain deterrent effect.

Just like the inner disciple's attire of the Myriad Manifestations Sect worn by Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng nodded and glanced at the interior of the third floor, which was decorated with dragons and phoenixes, and was extremely luxurious and magnificent, completely different from the two floors below.

Even the junior disciple who took over the gate was at the late stage of Qi Refining, which would be considered an outer disciple within the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

"Are there any three-winged golden flame snakes around here? If so, take me to see them."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment and then stated what he needed.

"A three-winged golden flame serpent?"

Xiao Si was taken aback, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes, and confirmed:

"Are you referring to the king-level monster of the second tier, the Three-Winged Golden Flame Serpent?"

"Yes, that's it." Yu Changsheng nodded and confirmed.

"Okay, please come this way."

Xiao Si became increasingly respectful, bowing and raising his hand to guide Yu Changsheng inside.

There aren't many people who can afford a second-tier king-level demon beast like the Three-Winged Golden Flame Serpent. Even a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator might not be able to afford it even if they emptied their wallet.

"This Red Moon Weasel must be taken good care of. Whenever the moon rises, be careful not to let it absorb moonlight for too long."

"Yes, I understand."

"Hmm, and this demonic beast too."

As soon as Yu Changsheng followed Xiao Si in, he saw a young man with a big smile pointing at the monster in front of him and instructing Xiao Si beside him.

But seeing the young man bowing and scraping, looking as if he was carefully taking notes of what the other person was saying, it was clear that this young man was his superior.

Yu Changsheng looked at the other person with curiosity.

The young man was about twenty years old. His clothes were made of fine ice-blue silk, embroidered with elegant bamboo leaf patterns. In the blank spaces, countless spirit beasts were carved on them. At a rough glance, there were probably no less than a thousand of them, all lifelike. A sense of aura emanated from the spirit beasts, which complemented the mutton-fat jade hairpin on his head.

But when the young man noticed Yu Changsheng's gaze, he slightly raised his chin, his almond-shaped eyes narrowed into a slit, sparkling like a galaxy.

"So he's Junior Brother Changsheng. I've long heard of his great reputation and wanted to get to know him. Today I finally have the chance."

He was wearing a hat and carrying an ivory folding fan. When he saw Yu Changsheng, he walked over with a big smile.

The young man was very enthusiastic, had a very kind voice, and wore luxurious clothes, but he didn't have the airs of a rich kid at all.

Yu Changsheng was also secretly surprised when he saw it.

"The uniform of a thousand beasts..."
