Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Indeed, with these two cultivation techniques, in terms of physical strength, at least within the Foundation Establishment stage, one can be considered invincible."

Yu Changsheng smiled broadly, clenched his fist, felt the surging power within his body, and let out a long breath.

Along the way, it can be said that the strength of his physical body has been a great asset to Yu Changsheng. Many times, if it weren't for his powerful physical body, Yu Changsheng would probably not be where he is today.

"With the system's support, my physical body, cultivation level, and spiritual consciousness can all improve together, unlike others who are distracted and lack the strength to do so."

Yu Changsheng's brows relaxed, and he thought to himself.

In the cultivation of immortality, one must advance in all three paths—essence, energy, and spirit—and master all three. Only then can one walk the path more steadily and further.

Having done all this, Yu Changsheng left the treasures in his storage bag without saying much more. After a moment's thought, he left the room without touching anything and went to where Li Minghan was.

Before long, the house where Li Minghan was located came into view. After informing the guard at the gate, the guard immediately and respectfully welcomed him inside.

"Brother Changsheng."

Upon recognizing the visitor, Li Minghan smiled and invited Yu Changsheng to sit down, then personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea.

The aroma of the tea is enticing, the steam rising and wafting, surrounded by a spiritual aura; it's clearly no ordinary tea, and its value is considerable.

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly, got straight to the point, placed Yang Chengxu's storage bag on the table, handed it to Li Minghan, and said with a smile:

"Now that the storm has passed, it's time to divide up Yang Chengxu's treasures. They're all Yang Chengxu's things. I've already looked at them beforehand, and none of them are things I particularly need. Minghan, you keep them. If it weren't for your help this time, the outcome might have been very different."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, his face sincere and his tone earnest.

Li Minghan raised an eyebrow, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes. He nodded and checked the contents of the storage bag, his pupils contracting slightly. After a moment, he looked up at Yu Changsheng and smiled.

"This guy is quite wealthy. The stuff inside is probably worth two million spirit stones. Let's split it in half."

"No need, you can take them all." Yu Changsheng waved his hand nonchalantly, then thought for a moment and said, "I don't particularly need these things, but I do have a great use for those two dragon corpses. If you want them, then don't be polite."

After a moment's thought, Yu Changsheng slapped his forehead, took out the Spirit Dragon Blood from his backpack, and added, "Oh right, there's also this thing, it was also in this guy's storage bag. Minghan, you can take it too."

"Blood of the Spirit Dragon?" Li Minghan was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't need it. I've already used one bottle, and using another wouldn't be very effective. Brother Changsheng, you can keep it for yourself."

"Don't you also have a tamed beast called the Spirit Wind Serpent?" Yu Changsheng frowned, looking at Li Minghan.

"That's true, but the blood of the spirit dragon is not suitable for him. He has almost no dragon blood in his body, so consuming it would be a waste. Changsheng, you can keep it for yourself."

Li Minghan nodded, then waved his hand and shook his head, appearing completely unconcerned.

"As for this storage bag, I'll accept it. I'll give you a spirit card later. You don't need these odds and ends, so I'll exchange them all for spirit stones."

After thinking for a moment, Li Minghan swallowed hard, accepted Yang Chengxu's storage bag, and said this.

"No need, no need. I've already taken care of a lot of things for you, Minghan."

Yu Changsheng sighed helplessly, "I already gave you those two dragon corpses. If you keep doing this, I'm going to get angry."

"Hehe." Li Minghan chuckled, shook his head without further refusing, but looked at Yu Changsheng with a glint in his eyes, as if he had a plan.

After chatting for a while, Yu Changsheng didn't stay any longer and took his leave with clasped hands.

As for the small sword, Yu Changsheng did not tell Li Minghan.

It was already late at night when I returned to my residence on Beast Taming Peak.

The stars dotted the night sky, and a bright moon hung high, generously showering its light, like ripples on water, upon Yu Changsheng's residence.

Inside his residence, Yu Changsheng did not cultivate that night, but instead fell into a deep sleep.

Although his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he didn't really need sleep and could completely replace it with meditation. However, the tension he had maintained for several days had left Yu Changsheng feeling somewhat tired, so he went to sleep. Thus, although the recovery wasn't the best, he felt remarkably better.

The night was peaceful, with a gentle breeze blowing.

The next day, at the main hall of the Wanxiang Sect.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Leader."

Lu Ruikai sat upright, looked at Yu Changsheng who was respectfully bowing, nodded and then revealed a smile.

"Alright, why be so formal? Since you are Elder Wei's disciple, if we really count by seniority, I'm afraid I'm even lower than you."

Lu Ruikai chuckled, looking at Yu Changsheng with a hint of astonishment in his eyes. With his keen eye, he could naturally see the changes and differences in Yu Changsheng.

"How could that be? Sect Leader is joking." Yu Changsheng shook his head, his attitude humble.

"Alright, I didn't ask you to come here for anything important, just to ask about things inside the Illusionary Mist Beast Valley."

"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded, not surprised at all, and then recounted everything that had happened in the Illusionary Mist Beast Valley.

He also omitted some details about his contract with the Xuan Turtle, only giving a general account. Elder Wei did not instruct him to deliberately conceal this matter. Moreover, as the deputy sect leader, Lu Ruikai could not hide it if he really wanted to investigate.

Rather than doing that, it's better to just say it directly to avoid suspicion. With Elder Wei around, there's no need to worry about any unexpected events.

Before long, Yu Changsheng finished explaining everything that had happened in the Illusionary Mist Beast Valley. Lu Ruikai listened quietly, his expression occasionally showing a thoughtful look.

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, Lu Ruikai lowered his eyes and fell silent, as if deep in thought.

Even Vice Sect Leader Lu Ruikai only knew part of what happened inside the Illusionary Mist Beast Valley; he didn't know the specifics.

Now that Yu Changsheng has revealed everything, everything is clear, which makes Lu Ruikai even more surprised by Yu Changsheng.

"This guy really has a lot of luck..."

A thought flashed through Lu Ruikai's mind, and with a touch of emotion, he looked up at Yu Changsheng and smiled:

"I understand. That's good. No wonder you didn't want to be my apprentice back then. It seems that Elder Wei is indeed the most suitable for you. This is truly a grand gesture."

Lu Ruikai chuckled softly, his tone gentle, revealing no other emotions.

"Uh..." Yu Changsheng scratched his head, unsure how to respond, and could only awkwardly say, "It's all fate."

"That's enough. It's good that the matter is resolved. As for the rest, it's all your own fate, and we have no right to interfere." Lu Ruikai shook his head and said, putting his hands behind his back, glancing past Yu Changsheng and looking into the distance.

"I do have an idea, but I wonder what you think, Changsheng?"

After a long pause, Lu Ruikai suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Hmm? Sect Leader, please speak." Yu Changsheng sat up straight.

"What do you say about appointing you as the first disciple representing the Beast Taming Peak of my Myriad Manifestations Sect?"

Lu Ruikai chuckled, but looked at Yu Changsheng with a serious expression.

"Huh? The first disciple?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback. The so-called first disciple was similar to the Holy Son of the Holy Land. Only the most outstanding disciples recognized within the sect could hold this title.

"Hmm, what do you think?" Lu Ruikai nodded in response to Yu Changsheng's surprise. "As the top disciple, it will not only enhance your prestige, but the sect's resources will naturally be prioritized for you, and moreover..."

After a pause, Lu Ruikai exhaled, his eyes flashing as he looked directly at Yu Changsheng:

"Furthermore, if you aspire to become the sect leader in the future, this title of First Disciple is truly well-deserved. Moreover, the title of First Disciple also serves as a form of protection. With this status, any unscrupulous individuals who want to harm you will have to think twice and consider the consequences."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After speaking, Lu Ruikai looked at Yu Changsheng with a hint of expectation in his eyes. His expression was serious.

"Huh?" Yu Changsheng's expression faltered again. Hearing Lu Ruikai's words, he was puzzled. He took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, then slowly bowed his head, clasped his hands in a fist, and bowed to Lu Ruikai with gratitude but a wry smile, saying:

"Thank you for your high regard, Sect Leader, but let's leave it at that. Changsheng has only been in the sect for a short time. If he is given such a title rashly, I'm afraid it will cause disunity among the people and lead to some complaints."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Changsheng silently bit down on his saliva, his tone calm and indifferent.

"Moreover, this is not what I desire for longevity. Within the sect, there are many stronger and more suitable individuals than me, so I will not settle for less."

Yu Changsheng was telling the truth. He really didn't care about these empty titles, and he was even less interested in the position of sect leader.

Although becoming the top disciple would grant access to more resources, he was already at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, not far from the eighth. The help this small sect could offer him was no longer significant.

All he wanted was to stay in the sect and cultivate diligently; he was just observing everything else.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ruikai fell into deep thought. After a stick of incense had burned, he raised his head again, looked at Yu Changsheng's calm expression, slowly shook his head, and sighed softly.

"Alright, since you're unwilling, I won't say anything more. But if you change your mind, just let me know. If you need anything, just let me know and I'll try my best to get it for you."

"Alright, thank you, Sect Leader. I'll take my leave now."

Yu Changsheng's heart stirred, his eyes filled with gratitude, and he respectfully clasped his hands in a fist and bow.

"Go."

Lu Ruikai waved his hand, watching Yu Changsheng's departing figure, and slightly pursed his lips. Only after Yu Changsheng completely disappeared from sight did he reveal a smile.

.........

Leaving the main hall, Yu Changsheng lowered his eyes, recalling the details of the conversation, and after a moment muttered to himself, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"The sect leader is quite interesting. This favor comes at a very opportune time, but it's fine this way. If we really need something, we can always ask him for help."

Although he didn't become the number one disciple, Yu Changsheng later realized that this matter was probably not something that Lu Ruikai could decide alone. As for what Lu Ruikai said later, he could just tell him what resources he needed.

He told me this in his own name, not in the name of the sect; this is the true meaning of this conversation.

Yu Changsheng didn't take these things to heart. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and headed to the Qiyao Pavilion in Yufang City.

Old Wei hasn't returned yet, but there's something I can accomplish.

"Brother Changsheng".

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yu Dahai appeared very excited. He hurriedly put down what he was doing, stood up, and came to greet him. Amidst his excitement, a hint of awe was faintly visible in his eyes.

Yu Changsheng sighed softly, his expression softening. He patted Yu Dahai's shoulder and said with a light laugh, "You've had a tough time these past few days. Don't neglect your cultivation. If there's anything you don't understand, just tell me."

With the help of Yu Changsheng's resources these days, Yu Dahai's cultivation level has now reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and the Foundation Establishment stage is no longer a distant prospect.

"No, no, it's all thanks to your care, Brother Changsheng, that I was able to reach this level in such a short time. I will work hard and try not to hold you back."

Yu Dahai was taken aback. As Yu Changsheng spoke with concern, a sense of familiarity quickly spread throughout his body. At the same time, his heart warmed and his restraint quietly disappeared.

As Yu Changsheng became increasingly prominent, Yu Dahai would inevitably show a hint of respect whenever they met, even if it wasn't intentional. This was due to the difference in their status, which was not what Yu Changsheng wanted to see.

"Yes, cultivate diligently," Yu Changsheng smiled, took out a pill bottle from his storage bag, and placed it in Yu Dahai's hand.

"What is this?" Yu Dahai was taken aback, weighing the medicine bottle in his hand, somewhat puzzled.

"Inside are two Foundation Establishment Pills. When you feel the time is right, start your breakthrough," Yu Changsheng said softly, his expression unchanged.

"Foundation Building Pill?!" Yu Dahai was shocked and quickly waved his hand. "No, no, this thing is too valuable. Brother Changsheng, you should take it back. Besides, with my talent, wouldn't it be a waste if I didn't break through?"

Yu Dahai smiled bitterly, the bottle of pills in his hand seemed to weigh an immense weight.

From Yu Changsheng's current perspective, the Foundation Establishment Pill is nothing special, but in Yu Dahai's eyes, it's a completely different story.

Foundation Establishment Pills are priceless treasures for Qi Refining cultivators, and their value is self-evident.

Now, Yu Changsheng had so easily handed it over to him, how could Yu Dahai not be flattered? In his view, even for Yu Changsheng, such a treasure must be extremely precious and rare.

"Keep it. Just focus on your breakthrough and cultivate diligently. Wouldn't that be the best way to do more for me?"

Faced with Yu Dahai's refusal, Yu Changsheng looked displeased, frowned and said indifferently, and placed the pill in Yu Dahai's hand without further ado.

"This..." Yu Dahai swallowed hard, looking down at the pill in his hand, a flash of longing crossing his eyes. He then looked up at Yu Changsheng, smiled helplessly, and bowed gratefully. (End of Chapter)
