Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 220 Talking about prices is often hurtful

"This..." Yu Changsheng lowered his eyes, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face. He then looked up at Yun Hejing, let out a soft breath, and said with a wry smile:

"Since Elder Yun has said so, I will definitely go. However, I know that my cultivation is not good enough, and I am afraid that I will bring shame to the sect. That would be bad."

"It's alright, participation is what matters." Yun Hejing waved her hand and smiled gently. "Besides, I believe in your abilities. As for the rest, just do your best."

"The Spirit Dragon Sect has come with great force this time, but the rewards for this exchange competition will also be very generous."

Yun Hejing paused, then smiled sweetly.

"If you can defeat a disciple of the Spirit Dragon Sect, you will not only gain sect contribution points, but also receive benefits from the Spirit Dragon Sect."

"Alright then." Yu Changsheng was a little surprised, but he agreed.

"In that case, make good preparations for these last three months. Elder Wei, if you have any questions about cultivation or need any resources, don't hesitate to tell me."

Yun Hejing pondered for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled broadly.

"I don't need this for now, thank you Elder Yun." Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and then declined.

"Alright, take your time to adjust. There's no need to rush your cultivation; just take it slow."

After Yun Hejing finished speaking, she still reached out and waved her hand toward the storage bag, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand, which she handed to Yu Changsheng.

"Consider this a small token of my appreciation for you; please accept it."

Yun Hejing had high expectations for Yu Changsheng, but she also knew in her heart that his cultivation level was too low at the moment, only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, and it would be very difficult for him to win in this exchange competition.

She saw Yu Changsheng's talent and was willing to try anything that would benefit him, even if the Myriad Manifestations Sect lost this exchange competition, it would still broaden his horizons.

Yu Changsheng's expression turned serious, and his heart warmed. He didn't say anything more, and his expression softened unconsciously. He clasped his hands and said softly, "Thank you, Elder Yun, for taking such good care of me along the way."

Without refusing, Yu Changsheng put the jade bottle into his backpack, without bothering to see what was inside.

"You've really proven yourself, there's not much I can do to help." Yun Hejing didn't seem to mind. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yu Changsheng took his leave.

"The Spirit Dragon Sect will arrive in three months. We'll have to do our best then."

On the way to his residence, Yu Changsheng's thoughts were like cotton, lost in thought.

"The Beast Taming lineage of the Spirit Dragon Sect rose to prominence after the Myriad Manifestations Sect. I wonder how they differ from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, and which is stronger?"

"However, with my current level, I can handle the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment. As long as the opponent isn't too outrageous, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"As for the inner disciples at the late Foundation Establishment stage or peak, that's probably difficult."

Yu Changsheng was somewhat confident in his abilities, but even with confidence, one cannot be too complacent, or it would become arrogance.

"When beast tamers clash, it's ultimately about taming beasts. My advantage lies not only in beast taming but also in my personal strength. In the meantime, I should focus on upgrading the Golden-Winged Eagle."

"With three second-tier spirit beasts, we'll be absolutely safe."

After thinking it over, Yu Changsheng saw the cave dwelling in sight. To his slight surprise, Li Minghan was also waiting at the entrance of the cave dwelling. Upon seeing Yu Changsheng arrive, Li Minghan quickly took two steps forward.

"Senior Brother Li? You didn't even tell me you were coming. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Yu Changsheng greeted Li Minghan politely and led him into the courtyard, where he personally brewed tea for him.

"I just arrived. I'm here mainly to pay a visit, and also to take care of some other things."

Li Minghan chuckled. Upon meeting again, both of them were less reserved and much more familiar with each other.

"Your residence is quite nice; it's quiet, filled with spiritual energy, and a good place to cultivate one's mind and body."

Li Minghan glanced around and exclaimed in admiration.

"I'll just stay anywhere. If you like it, Senior Brother Li, feel free to come again." Yu Changsheng shook his head.

Li Minghan smiled and nodded, saying, "Regarding the Windbird you mentioned some time ago, I've been inquiring about it recently."

After Li Minghan finished speaking, Yu Changsheng's heart stirred slightly. He moved closer, raised an eyebrow, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "So there's news?"

"Well..." Li Minghan scratched his forehead, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said awkwardly, "There isn't one for now. Windbirds are quite rare, and although I've been paying special attention, I don't think there will be any results in the short term."

"In the end, this is just an insignificant branch of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower. We don't have enough authority. Even if other places have the goods, they will give priority to the big places."

Li Minghan smiled wryly, looked at Yu Changsheng, took a deep breath, and continued, "There's nothing I can do. I can't get this kind of sought-after spirit beast right away. Sorry."

"It's alright. I understand." Yu Changsheng felt a little regretful, but his face remained unchanged. He waved his hand and said, not feeling anything was wrong.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Li. Since you don't have any, that's fine. I'll think of something else."

Seeing Yu Changsheng say this, Li Minghan let out a breath, opened his mouth and thought for a moment before continuing:

"There's definitely no hope for the Windbird anytime soon, but yesterday, we acquired a second-tier spirit beast. I thought you might need it, so I didn't give it to someone else right away."

"I mainly wanted to ask you if you could replace the Windrunner."

"Huh? What kind of spirit beast? Tell me." Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then somewhat relieved.

"Second-tier is not easy."

"We don't have a Windbird, but we did get a Wind Spirit Crocodile. The two do have some similarities. Changsheng, what do you think?"

Crocodile is indeed somewhat inferior to Windbird, mainly because it is not as extreme as Windbird. However, the latter has some Water-type abilities, giving it more potential.

With both wind and water attributes, the Wind Spirit Crocodile generally lives in water, but in times of crisis it can also briefly rise into the air, and its speed is in no way slower than some spirit beasts of the same level, placing it among the excellent ones.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng was overjoyed and nodded, saying, "Wind Spirit Crocodile? That's fine too!"

His Golden-Winged Eagle had already been fused with a fish tail, and when paired with the Wind Spirit Crocodile with both Feng Shui and Feng Shui attributes, it was naturally no problem, and even quite suitable.

More importantly, Yu Changsheng is cheating. As long as the grade meets the requirements and the attributes do not conflict, it should be more than enough for him to break through.

"Okay, since you like it and think it's fine, then take it. I brought it with me anyway."

Li Minghan nodded and handed Yu Changsheng a storage bag, inside which was a specially equipped Wind Spirit Crocodile.

Like the Three-Winged Golden Flame Serpent, this Wind Spirit Crocodile was also a corpse, but it was very well preserved.

On the surface, the Wind Spirit Crocodile is not much different from an ordinary crocodile. The biggest difference is that its body is blue, it has six limbs, a thick crocodile tail, and its flesh contains great power.

Of course, its speed far surpasses that of ordinary spirit beasts, making it a top-tier existence among second-tier spirit beasts. After all, the name "Wind Spirit" itself suggests that it is extraordinary.

In addition, as a spirit beast with both wind and water attributes, it has more diverse attack methods and immense power. Overall, although it cannot compare to the Windbird, it may be more suitable as an advancement material than the Windbird.

"Chang Sheng, take a look. If you like it, then take it. I was just thinking you might need it, so I kept it for you to see. As for the Windbird, if necessary, I will continue to inform my men to keep an eye out."

Li Minghan watched every expression on Yu Changsheng's face, and, seemingly a little nervous, spoke softly.

"No need," Yu Changsheng nodded, a look of joy on his face. "The Wind Spirit Crocodile is enough. Thank you so much, Senior Brother Li."

"I don't know..." Yu Changsheng paused slightly, "How much is this Wind Spirit Crocodile? Don't give me any discounts, just give me a real price."

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

"I'm glad you can use it," Li Minghan breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face as if he were relieved.

"Price doesn't matter, it's not anything expensive anyway." Li Minghan waved his hand, his face showing complete indifference and magnanimity.

"You already got a great deal from the Three-Winged Golden Flame Serpent last time, so we can't let it go like that this time. We'll give you whatever price you owe."

Yu Changsheng waved, somewhat embarrassed.

Second-tier spirit beasts are no cheap goods.

"If you don't take my money, I'm not taking this Wind Spirit Crocodile."

Yu Changsheng lowered his eyes, looked at Li Minghan, thought for a moment, and then suddenly spoke, his expression very serious.

"This." Li Minghan hesitated, looking at Yu Changsheng's resolute expression, and wavered.

After a moment's thought, he took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony. I do have something I hope you can help me with, Changsheng."

"Tell me what it is, and I'll help as much as I can," Yu Changsheng said, his eyes flashing and his expression becoming slightly serious.

"It's that..." Upon hearing this, Li Minghan pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts before looking up and saying, "I wonder if Changsheng has ever heard of the Strange Demon Pavilion?"

"Speak," Li Minghan said, a hint of something deeper in his eyes, a barely perceptible glint in his gaze as he looked at Yu Changsheng.

"The Demon Pavilion?" Yu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

"I've heard about it, what's wrong?" Yu Changsheng nodded affirmatively, while wondering what Li Minghan wanted to say.

"Hmm..." Li Minghan pondered, his brows relaxed, and he exhaled. "Then I'll be frank. I have a particular fondness for using red-armored spirit beasts. From the moment I saw your Crimson Serpent, I had the idea of ​​befriending it."

"The main purpose is to see how you train them, so we can exchange ideas."

When he said these things, Li Minghan's true feelings were evident, and his eyes seemed to shine. It was clear that he genuinely liked it.

"Hmm," Yu Changsheng nodded, not surprised, but slightly puzzled, "So... Senior Brother Li wants to..."

"Well," Li Minghan chuckled, fidgeting a little awkwardly with his hands and touching his nose, and said:

"What I mean is, recently a new treasure has been added to the Qiyao Pavilion, the Crimson-Scaled Pangolin. It's said to be a non-sale item. I was wondering if you, Changsheng, have any connections to help me get your hands on it."

"Red-scaled pangolin?" Yu Changsheng was stunned, racking his brains to remember, and then suddenly realized.

"Yes, it's the Red-scaled Pangolin. It's practically my dream animal! It's a pity I can't buy it." Li Minghan said, shaking his head with regret and a helpless expression.

Yu Changsheng's lips twitched slightly, then he smiled faintly.

The Crimson-Scaled Pangolin—isn't this the first-tier, seventh-level spirit beast that I fused and nurtured in the Strange Demon Pavilion during my spare time after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage?

It looks really good. It has red scales all over its body and high comprehension. Its growth potential should be the highest among the spirit beasts I have fused so far. It was also created by chance and I just decided to use it as a symbol and not for sale to guard the Strange Demon Pavilion.

Li Minghan actually took a liking to this spirit beast. After thinking about it carefully, Yu Changsheng realized that it was quite normal. After all, this red-scaled pangolin was undeniably handsome, if nothing else.

There were even rumors that he possessed a trace of the bloodline of the Ancestral Beast, the Heavenly Armor...

"Well, I have heard about that."

Yu Changsheng nodded, pursed his lips as if deep in thought, his face showing hesitation. But he quickly waved his hand, as if he had made a great decision, and said boldly:

"If Senior Brother Li likes it, then leave it to me, I'll get it for you."

Although he was the mastermind behind the Qiyao Pavilion, and it wouldn't be difficult for anyone with a keen eye to investigate, he still needed to maintain a certain facade. Being too direct would only make his products seem insignificant.

"Really?" Li Minghan was overjoyed, his eyes brimming with excitement. Then, a hint of worry appeared on his face, and he said somewhat embarrassedly:

"Then you can see how many spirit stones, or other items, you need."

As the young master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, Li Minghan's wealth was far beyond that of ordinary inner disciples.

In fact, he could find most of the spirit beasts through his connections, but the spirit beast that Yu Changsheng fused with the system was unique, which is why he liked it.

He didn't expect the red-scaled pangolin to provide him with any combat assistance; he simply liked it.

"No need." Yu Changsheng waved his hand and smiled. "I've already troubled Senior Brother Li a lot. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's nothing. I can do this much."

"How can that be?" Li Minghan said anxiously, a hint of reproach on his face. "This red-scaled pangolin is quite valuable, isn't it? After all, it's so rare. Look, after deducting the wind spirit crocodile, how much do I still owe you? I can't let you put in the effort and spend the money."

It's quite valuable... Yu Changsheng remained calm, but inwardly he was starting to have doubts.

It is indeed rare, but in terms of value, it is not comparable to the second-tier spirit beast, the Wind Spirit Crocodile.

Of course, Li Minghan couldn't hear these words, so he remained silent for a moment, but then hardened his expression.

"In that case, I know the person in charge there, so you can just go directly to the Qiyao Pavilion to get your spirit beast."

"As for the price, if Brother Li considers me a friend, then there's no need to say more. We can each get what we need, so why bother negotiating the price? It's just too much trouble."
