Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Gongsun Yang looked at Yu Changsheng with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"My master is good to me, but you are also very good to me, Master," Yu Changsheng said with a slight nod.

"I'm different. I can't help you much with cultivation, but I wonder if you've slacked off in alchemy, how much improvement you've made, and if your techniques have improved?"

Gongsun Yang shook his head, chuckled, and looked at Yu Changsheng with a hint of scrutiny.

"How could that be?" Yu Changsheng muttered. He hadn't refined pills for a while, but he wasn't so rusty.

After chatting for a while, Yu Changsheng became serious and revealed the purpose of his trip.

"Master, I would like to ask if there are any special pills that can be used to strengthen the bloodline of spirit beasts."

"Strengthen the bloodline?" Gongsun Yang was speechless. He glanced at Yu Changsheng, lowered his head in deep thought, and after a moment, slowly raised his head and said:

"There are quite a few, but since you asked, it must be related to your beast taming. There is one such pill that is suitable for second-tier beast taming and meets your requirements."

"Master, please speak." Yu Changsheng perked up and looked at Gongsun Yang expectantly.

Gongsun Yang didn't keep them in suspense. He stroked his beard, his lips twitching, and slowly uttered a few words: "Blood Nourishing and Dao Enriching Pill."

"Nourishing Blood and Strengthening Elixir?" Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, as he was unfamiliar with this elixir.

"Indeed, this pill is of grade three. Its main function is to nourish and stabilize the bloodline of spirit beasts. In addition, it also has some effect on consolidating the soul. It is a rare pill that suits you."

Gongsun Yang nodded, spoke slowly, and then sighed softly with regret: "Unfortunately, this kind of pill is quite rare. I have only heard of it. I don't have the specific formula. Otherwise, I could have refined one for you."

"That's alright. Having an idea is better than having no idea at all, so I won't trouble you, Master."

Yu Changsheng shook his head slightly, smiled at Gongsun Yang, and said softly.

"If you urgently need it, there is a way." Gongsun Yang pondered for a moment, then exhaled deeply.

"Although I do not have such pills, I have a friend, who is Yang Tianyi, the chief alchemist of our Myriad Manifestations Sect."

He probably has some in his collection. However, he has a lot of influence, and even I wouldn't dare say I could definitely get it for him. I'll explain things to him clearly. As for the specifics, if he has any other requests, then it'll be up to you.

Gongsun Yang frowned and slowly began to speak.

"Yang Tianyi..."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself that he had heard of this name before and it was not unfamiliar to him.

As the only fourth-level alchemist in the Myriad Manifestations Sect, he was renowned and naturally sought after by many disciples. However, he rarely appeared in the sect, so much so that Yu Changsheng had never actually seen him.

As an inner elder of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, he held a high position and would not refine pills for a group of disciples. The pills he refined were directly supplied to figures like the peak master.

For others, the price to have him refine pills is extremely high, and other requirements are also needed; an introduction is required.

"Then I'll trouble you, Master, to introduce me to someone."

As Yu Changsheng pondered these matters, he spoke softly to Gongsun Yang.

"We'll see if it works out in the end."

"It's alright, there's no time to lose. His cave is in a corner of the summit of Jade Cauldron Peak. I'll take you there with me."

Gongsun Yang smiled, took out his communication jade tube, said a few words, and after receiving a response, led Yu Changsheng to the mountaintop.

Before long, at the summit of Jade Cauldron Peak, in a secluded place shrouded in mist, a pavilion was hidden among the clouds.

The array rippled outwards, and after verifying the identities of the two people, the light screen rippled, the clouds dispersed, and the pavilion became clear.

"Yangzhong, it's me, Brother Gongsun."

Outside the pavilion, Gongsun Yang, accompanied by Yu Changsheng, announced the arrival of the guests at the door. The pavilion door slowly opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped out.

The figure was a middle-aged man dressed in a plain white Taoist robe, with his long hair cascading over his shoulders in an unrestrained manner. He exuded an air of refinement and had a kind smile. As he walked, a faint fragrance of elixirs wafted around him.

"Golden Core..."

Yu Changsheng looked at this person, sensing his hidden aura, his pupils contracted slightly, and he respectfully bowed his head.

"Disciple Yu Changsheng greets Elder Yang."

"It's alright. A disciple whom Brother Gongsun is so proud of is indeed extraordinary."

Yang Tianyi smiled gently, his face kind and his attitude gentle. His words were like a spring breeze, and he showed no airs whatsoever.

Yu Changsheng felt ashamed, but remained respectful and gave an awkward smile: "Master, you flatter me."

Gongsun Yang laughed heartily and stepped forward: "My disciple is naturally quite good. Alright, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Brother Yang, you know the situation. I'm here to ask on behalf of my disciple: do you have any of the Blood Nourishing Beast Pill?"

"Well..." Yang Tianyi lowered his eyes, glanced at Yu Changsheng, then looked at Gongsun Yang, nodded and smiled slightly, and said:

"Of course I have to give Brother Gongsun face. I do know about the Blood Nourishing Beast Pill, but there are very few people who need this kind of pill. I don't have the finished product yet, only the formula."

"Giving it to you, brother, is no problem, but..."

As Yang Tianyi spoke, he paused, a look of interest appearing in his eyes. He looked at Yu Changsheng and smiled calmly.

"However, I've heard you constantly talk about how amazing your disciple's talent is, and I'd like to see it for myself. I won't refine the pills for him; instead, I'll give him the formulas and let him do it himself, how about that?"

"Let him refine it himself?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang was stunned and looked at Yang Tianyi in surprise.

"Yes, why not?"

Yang Tianyi nodded slightly, still smiling, but deep in his eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a hint of provocation flashed, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.

"This..." Gongsun Yang looked troubled and hesitated for a moment. He looked at Yang Tianyi with a wry smile and said helplessly:

"Brother, what are you saying? Although Changsheng has amazing talent, this Blood Nourishing and Dao Cultivation Pill is ultimately a third-grade pill. With his qualifications, asking him to refine this pill is really asking too much of him."

Yang Tianyi pondered for a moment, looked at Yu Changsheng, and smiled faintly:

"The Blood Nourishing and Dao Cultivation Pill, although it is a third-grade pill, is only the lowest-level one. The pharmacology and methods involved are not complicated. I see that your disciple has already reached the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. I thought that some simple third-grade pills should be something you could try."

"If it doesn't work, then forget it. I'll make it for you when I have some free time."

As Yang Tianyi spoke, he shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes, but he still smiled.

"This...this kid's cultivation speed is fast, but he hasn't been refining pills for very long." Gongsun Yang was speechless. Although he was also surprised by Yu Changsheng's cultivation level, he still shook his head and said.

In his opinion, Yu Changsheng spends too much time cultivating and doesn't really care that much about alchemy. Moreover, he is still relatively inexperienced, so asking him to refine third-grade pills is indeed a bit of a challenge.

"Alright, no problem. Thank you, Elder Yang. I am willing to give it a try. I hope you can give me some pointers."

Just as Gongsun Yang was feeling helpless, Yu Changsheng suddenly spoke up, cupping his hands in greeting to Yang Tianyi.

"Chang Sheng...you..."

Gongsun Yang was taken aback, turned his head to look at Yu Changsheng in surprise, and hesitated to speak.

"Don't worry, Master, I want to give it a try."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, gave him a reassuring look, and said in a low voice.

"Good, that's courageous. It's alright. Alchemists should be willing to try. It's okay to fail."

Yang Tianyi was also slightly taken aback, then looked at Yu Changsheng with admiration, his smile widening.

"Well, that's fine. Give it a try, consider it as gaining more experience."

Seeing Yu Changsheng say this, Gongsun Yang gave Yu Changsheng a deep look, shook his head and exhaled, without saying anything more.

"Perhaps this guy can surprise me..."

As Gongsun Yang pondered this, a sense of anticipation began to stir within him.

"Come with me."

Seeing this, Yang Tianyi nodded to the two of them and led Yu Changsheng and Gongsun Yang to the backyard. After passing through a medicinal garden, they arrived at an alchemy room.

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

Among them, all kinds of alchemy tools were complete, and there was a strong smell of elixirs that lingered around. In the center, an alchemy furnace stood tall, radiating pressure, and it was clear that it was no ordinary item.

"This is where I usually refine pills. Get ready and try it here too. It's okay if you fail. Just try a few more times. Don't feel pressured."

Yang Tianyi introduced the items to the two of them in a low voice. He rummaged through the shelf next to him and took out a jade tube, handing it to Yu Changsheng. At the same time, he also handed Yu Changsheng a storage bag.

"These are the formula and ingredients for the Blood Nourishing and Dao Enriching Pill. Get ready, and we can begin when you feel it's about time. You may also use my alchemy furnace; don't be shy."

Yang Tianyi smiled gently. Yu Changsheng nodded, took the pill formula jade tube and the herb storage bag, took a deep breath, scanned it with his divine sense, and focused his mind to examine the contents of the jade tube.

"Yin Blood Grass, Beast-Gathering Fruit, Overlord Branch..."

The contents of the prescription gradually became clearer, and various details also emerged one by one.

[Second-Tier Alchemy (20000/50000)]

"Add some points!"

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself.

[Consumed 30000 Essence Points! Advancement from Second-Tier Alchemy to Third-Tier, Third-Tier Alchemy (0/500000)]

As Yu Changsheng advanced in his alchemy, waves of knowledge seemed to spring from nothing, constantly flooding his sea of ​​consciousness, but he quickly digested them.

Looking at the prescription again, Yu Changsheng's feelings were completely different. Some of the details were now much clearer, and he felt more confident.

"In terms of technique, there is still room for improvement."

Seeing that there were still quite a few essence points left, Yu Changsheng pondered and continued to add more while working on the pill formula.

【Three-Wood Fire Alchemy Technique: Minor Success (150000/200000)】

[50000 Essence Points consumed! The Three-Wood Fire Alchemy Technique has been upgraded to Mastery!]

【Three-Fire Alchemy Technique: Mastery (0/300000)】

……

"That's about it..."

Feeling the insights constantly emerging in his mind, Yu Changsheng closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again, a glint of light flashing deep within them.

"All done? Shouldn't you prepare a little more? Alchemy is no child's play. We're not in a rush, you can take your time."

Yang Tianyi looked at Yu Changsheng suddenly standing up, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said a reminder.

For some reason, he felt that Yu Changsheng was different at this moment than before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"I am ready, we may begin."

Yu Changsheng clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Yang Tianyi, then looked at Gongsun Yang, who nodded at him, gave him an encouraging look, and said softly:

"If you think it's okay, then let's begin. Relax. This is your first time refining this grade three pill, so just do your best and don't feel pressured."

"I understand, disciple."

Yu Changsheng nodded in agreement, took a deep breath, and his expression became calm and serious. He patted the storage bag, and under the control of his powerful divine sense, various medicinal herbs floated out one by one.

"No wonder you said he has amazing talent. This guy, although he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, the strength of his spiritual sense is probably comparable to that of the Golden Core stage."

This single move was enough to make Yang Tianyi, who was watching from the side, focus his attention and be slightly surprised. He looked at Gongsun Yang with even greater anticipation in his eyes.

"Is that so? You haven't seen any of my other disciples yet."

Seeing this, Gongsun Yang stroked his beard and chuckled, looking quite pleased with himself.

"Ignite the alchemical fire!"

Yu Changsheng exclaimed softly, pointed his finger, and instantly, a flame danced between his fingers, which he then steadily flung onto the alchemy furnace, where it burned fiercely from top to bottom.

"His fire control technique is also very skilled. Judging from his appearance, he has probably mastered your Three-Wood Fire Alchemy technique."

Yang Tianyi exclaimed in surprise again, then nodded, a hint of solemnity slowly appearing in his eyes this time.

"hehe."

Gongsun Yang shook his head and chuckled, saying nothing more, but a hint of shock still flashed deep in his eyes.

"This guy seems to have been practicing regularly; his technique is getting more and more skillful. Heh, not bad."

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath. As the flames spread to all parts of the alchemy furnace, the air gradually became scorching.

Before long, the furnace was heated. Yu Changsheng frowned. His third-level alchemy skills gave him more confidence in this alchemy, but it was still his first time, so he was a little nervous.

The recipes for the pills appeared in his mind one by one. With a wave of his hand, he arranged the various medicinal herbs in a certain order, and the fire gradually increased, sweeping over the herbs and condensing them into liquid.

"First, we need two Blood Yin Grasses. We'll forge one into liquid and use the other as a carrier..."

"The medicinal properties of *Euphorbia milii* are mild; it can be used as a neutralizing agent..."

"The main ingredient of the Blood Nourishing and Dao Cultivation Pill is the Soul-Gathering Fruit, which is also the most precious main ingredient. Its medicinal properties are fragile, so it is refined slowly over a low flame, and the auxiliary ingredients are protected with the help of Wenling leaves..."

Every little detail naturally surfaced in Yu Changsheng's mind, and gradually, his initially slightly stiff and tense technique became increasingly fluid and natural.

The alchemical fire burned steadily, changing its form according to Yu Changsheng's will. The alchemy furnace was filled with a misty haze, and soon wisps of bluish-red alchemical vapor floated out, filling the air with a fragrant aroma. (End of Chapter)
