Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 238 Leap Forward

After the auction at the Myriad Beasts Pavilion, it usually doesn't end immediately; a party is held afterwards.

The purpose was to entertain this group of people who came from all directions, and to provide them with an opportunity to get to know each other and trade freely. Throughout the event, the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion would provide the venue and services free of charge, as well as spiritual water and fruits, and would also act as a guarantor on-site.

This is one of the unique features of each Wanshoulou auction, so even if many people don't intend to participate in the auction, they still come for the purpose of this party.

"The service at the Beast Tower is comprehensive and very user-friendly."

Looking at the long table set up in the center of the spacious hall, with plates of spiritual fruits being placed on it and spiritual plants decorating it, Yu Changsheng sighed slightly.

The lobby was bustling with activity. Convenient stalls were set up, but the stall owners were not from the Beast Tower. Instead, they were people who had participated in the auction. In the corners, staff members from the Beast Tower had been temporarily reassigned to handle security.

Overall, it was a lively scene, with shouts and calls filling the air.

"That's right, the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion. Actually, our services are more comprehensive, but our main business is still related to spirit beasts."

"Besides the beast tamers who come and go frequently, there are also quite a few other cultivators and customers every day."

Li Minghan slowly explained to Changsheng, "If Changsheng is interested, he can go down and take a look. Maybe he'll get lucky and find some treasures, a bargain."

"No need," Yu Changsheng chuckled and waved his hand. "It's getting late, so I'll head back now. I have a match tomorrow, so I need to get myself into peak condition first."

Under his divine sense, all the stalls in the hall appeared in his mind one by one. If there were any treasures, they would naturally not escape his notice. However, unfortunately, there was nothing that Yu Changsheng wanted.

"Okay, let's go back then, it's getting late."

Li Minghan nodded, walked in front of Yu Changsheng, and after finding the right direction, the two flew towards Beast Taming Peak one after the other.

Outside, the bright moon hangs high, its light like water, rippling through the clouds and spreading across the sky, with the twinkling stars serving as a backdrop.

Under the moonlight and in the vast sky, the two figures moved like a rainbow, constantly speeding forward.

On the way, Yu Changsheng looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, his expression slightly dazed. The wind around him rustled his robes, and a few strands of his black hair drifted into the air with the night wind, swirling in the mountains and forests.

"The world of cultivation is wonderful. When my cultivation level is higher and I can protect myself, it would be nice to go out and see it. The Myriad Manifestations Sect is still too small."

"For now, just play it safe and focus on steady development..."

Yu Changsheng murmured a few words to himself, then slowly closed his eyes. Before long, Beast Taming Peak came into view. After saying goodbye, the two headed towards their respective caves.

"call……"

Back in his cave, Yu Changsheng slowly exhaled a breath of white crimson liquid. After adjusting his breathing, he took out the warm dragon jade and the animal hide from his storage bag, placed them together, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Could both of these belong to Cao Jinxian?"

Looking at the slightly warm and glowing animal hide and the warm dragon jade emitting blue starlight, Yu Changsheng's eyes were deep. After placing them together, he saw the animal hide suddenly tremble.

Yu Changsheng's eyes narrowed as he began to observe closely.

Unfortunately, after the animal hide trembled, it returned to calm and remained unresponsive no matter how Yu Changsheng handled it.

"Is something missing from this feeling?"

Yu Changsheng remained silent, many thoughts flashing through his mind. After fiddling with it for a while and confirming that there was no response, he had no choice but to put it away.

"Let's find another opportunity to see. Regardless of whether it's what I think, for now, the spirit stones are gone, and I owe Li Minghan a favor. Sigh."

"Perhaps if Master returns later, he will know something."

Shaking his head and keeping the matter to himself, Yu Changsheng activated the system panel with a thought.

[Spirit Pets: Crimson Serpent, Golden-Winged Eagle, Colorful Star Deer]

[Remaining Essence: 280000]

.........

After more than three months of refinement, the essence of the work has reached an unprecedented and terrifying level.

Looking at that string of zeros, Yu Changsheng felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

"Nearly 300,000 essence points should be enough for me to make a major improvement! The Beast Taming Competition is happening these two days, so if I upgrade everything, my strength will surely leap forward again!"

Yu Changsheng felt a slight itch in his heart. After looking at it, he realized that he already possessed quite a few abilities and methods. Although 280,000 essence points seemed like a lot, it was not enough to fully improve his abilities. Therefore, he could only be selective.

"Since there are matches these two days, I need to improve my attack methods first."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then made a silent decision.

It is worth mentioning that the proficiency of these techniques will also improve as Yu Changsheng's cultivation level increases, and his practice and use of them will also improve accordingly.

Therefore, even though Yu Changsheng hasn't specifically used his essence points to improve since last time, his proficiency in some techniques has still progressed compared to last time.

"I only need 350,000 more points of proficiency to advance to the next level in the Divine Refinement Technique. Actually, if I accumulate a little more, it will be soon."

"However, as you progress, if your cultivation, physical body, and soul surpass the other two by too much, except in certain special cases, without the corresponding support of physical body or cultivation, it will become a burden and not necessarily a good thing."

"For now, there's no need to deliberately improve this Divine Refinement Technique."

"Apart from refining divine techniques, everything else can be improved."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then made up his mind without hesitation.

[50000 Essence Points consumed! Myriad Spirits Technique upgraded to Minor Completion! Myriad Spirits Technique: Minor Completion (1/500000)]

[50000 Essence Points Consumed! Beast Taming Technique Upgraded to Minor Success! Beast Taming Technique: Minor Success (1/200000)]

[40000 Essence Points Consumed! The Three-Wood Fire Alchemy Technique has been upgraded to Minor Success! Three-Wood Fire Alchemy Technique: Minor Success (1/200000)]

[Consuming 20000 Essence Points! Fireball Spell upgraded to Mastery! Fireball Spell: Mastery (1/200000)]

[30000 Essence Points Consumed! Shadow Flash Upgraded to Minor Mastery! Shadow Flash: Minor Mastery (1/200000)]

[50000 Essence Points Consumed! Beast Shadow Upgraded to Minor Completion! Beast Shadow: Minor Completion (1/200000)]

Looking at the uniformly similar "small success" methods, Yu Changsheng narrowed his eyes and smiled.

A massive influx of insights flooded into Yu Changsheng's mind. In an instant, it felt as if he had practiced it a million times. The various streams of information caused a momentary throbbing pain, even for someone with Yu Changsheng's strong spiritual sense. It took him a long time to fully digest it.

[Remaining Essence Points: 40000!]

"call……"

A moment later, Yu Changsheng opened his eyes, a glint of light flashed across his face, and he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling that his energy and spirit were better than ever before.

"We've spent over 200,000 points. It's really not enough."

Yu Changsheng shook his head, looking at the few remaining essence points, and smiled bitterly.

"However, the improvement I've gained is also enormous. Now, most of the abilities I've mastered have reached a minor level of mastery, and my combat strength is completely different from before."

"If other people saw this, they'd be shocked," Yu Changsheng chuckled and muttered.

The further you progress in any martial art, the more difficult it becomes to improve. To reach the level of minor mastery, it can take decades, and this is just one martial art.

Now, Yu Changsheng possesses almost all the minor-level cultivation techniques. If this were to spread, it would be astonishing enough to cause a huge uproar.

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

The benefits of improving one's cultivation technique are also quite obvious. Not only does it lead to a leap in combat power, but it also boosts one's cultivation level to a certain extent. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges violently and rushes into Yu Changsheng's body.

The fourth layer of the spiritual platform, which had only solidified to a certain extent at the bottom, solidified to nearly 30% in a short time, and the aura of the fourth level of the Foundation Establishment realm became more settled and solid.

"Great. Now I'm much more confident about tomorrow's match."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, feeling the surging power within him, his confidence soaring even higher.

Now, if he uses all his methods, he is confident that he can kill a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

"The remaining 40,000 essence points..." Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, "I'll save them. Once I have 100,000 essence points, I can upgrade the Thousand Mountains Technique again. At that time, my physical body will experience another huge improvement."

.........

The night passed in cultivation, and at noon the next day, at the flat-top square of Beast Taming Peak.

"After the intense first round of competition over the past two days, all of you disciples must have a preliminary assessment of your own strength."

"Without further ado, let's stick to the same principle: do our best and showcase the talent of our respective disciples. Now, the second round of the Beast Taming Competition between the two sects officially begins."

"The first match..."

As usual, everyone focused their attention on the results of the draw.

"The first match: Yu Changsheng of the Myriad Manifestations Sect versus Tang Chen of the Spirit Dragon Sect!"

Below the stage, Yu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't think much of it and walked towards the arena.

The fact that his own match was the first one surprised Yu Changsheng slightly.

Meanwhile, inside the Spirit Dragon Sect, Tang Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yang Chengxu, who nodded slightly in return, and then slowly walked onto the arena.

On the judging panel, Mo Pengchen looked at the draw results, a glint in his eyes. He turned to look at the composed Mu Yongxian and said with a meaningful undertone:

"Peak Master Mu...why did you do that just now?"

Just now, during the drawing of lots, Mo Pengchen sensed a subtle force affecting the result. This force was so subtle that he might not have been able to detect it if he hadn't been so perceptive.

Thinking about it, besides myself, only Mu Yongxian has the ability to cook all this.

However, since this was the first match, Mo Pengchen couldn't say much. He couldn't very well say something in public and embarrass Mu Yongxian. Besides, the draw was all within the rules, and Yu Changsheng wasn't assigned an opponent like Yang Chengxu. So Mo Pengchen chose to be tolerant.

There was one thing that Mo Pengchen didn't quite understand: why was Mu Yongxian doing this?

"What is Peak Master Mo saying again? What happened just now? Wasn't this a normal lottery? According to the rules, in the last round, our Spirit Dragon Sect had four more disciples advancing than your Myriad Manifestations Sect."

In other words, there will be two more internal battles between disciples of my Spirit Dragon Sect later. Sigh, this is really bad. Your Myriad Manifestations Sect still needs to work harder.

"Otherwise, if the two competitions in the future become solely dominated by my Spirit Dragon Sect, that would be too meaningless."

Mu Yongxian said calmly, a smile appearing on his face. This smile contained a hint of contempt, as well as other indescribable meanings.

"Hmph, no need for you, Peak Master Mu, to trouble yourself." Mo Pengchen snorted coldly and turned his head away.

With a hint of scrutiny, she looked at Tang Chen as he slowly walked onto the stage, her heart filled with doubt.

On the other side, Yu Changsheng looked at Tang Chen who was slowly approaching, and frowned slightly after being stunned.

"This face...it looks familiar...Tang Chen..."

Just as Yu Changsheng was pondering, Tang Chen also stepped onto the arena, looking at Yu Changsheng from afar, his eyes filled with barely concealed hatred.

His cultivation aura surged, and he uttered somewhat incoherently, "Spirit Dragon Sect... Tang Chen, please enlighten me!"

"Hmm?" Yu Changsheng looked up, frowned at Tang Chen, and a flash of inspiration struck him. He finally realized why this face felt familiar.

"Do you know Tang He from Dongyang City?"

After hesitating for two seconds, Yu Changsheng finally spoke up and asked.

"Dongyang City is my home." Tang Chen's expression changed, a hint of ferocity appeared on his face, his brows furrowed, and he spoke in a hoarse voice.

"As for Tang He you mentioned... he is my father!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Chen suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with ferocity and hatred. At the same time, he stomped forward and shot towards Yu Changsheng.

"Yu Changsheng, a blood debt must be repaid in blood!"

"As expected of the Tang family, they still didn't clean it up properly last time."

Seeing that his guess had come true, Yu Changsheng was not surprised, and sighed softly.

"Sigh." Yu Changsheng shook his head with a helpless expression, looking at Tang Chen who was rushing towards him. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything more. Given this deep-seated hatred, it's clear that a harmonious ending for the two of them is impossible.

"Green Gang Claw Split!"

Then, Tang Chen's eyes turned bloodshot, he let out a low cry, clenched his hands into claws, and a streak of green light formed a sharp point, condensing into a thorn at his fingertips. His speed increased even more, and his figure left afterimages in the air. The green blade in his hand slashed through the void, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression, and suddenly stabbed towards Yu Changsheng's forehead!

Yu Changsheng focused his mind, without the slightest thought of underestimating his opponent. He took a step back, leaned forward, and then unleashed the full power of his body with his hind leg, stomping forward with all his might!

"Boom!"
