Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

The method of cultivating spiritual herbs, simply put, is a set of methods for planting spiritual herbs that are compatible with alchemy. Generally speaking, these methods are closely related to alchemists, and most of them know some of them.

However, since Yu Changsheng's alchemy skills were mainly acquired through additional points, there was a certain gap in his knowledge, but it was quite easy to resolve.

And so, Yu Changsheng had a thought.

[Skills: Tier 1 Spirit Plants (800/1000), Tier 3 Alchemy (150000/500000)]

With Yu Changsheng's current cultivation level, it would be very easy for him to improve his level of spiritual plant cultivation. In fact, he would naturally improve it by practicing a few more times. However, Yu Changsheng chose a simpler and more direct method.

[Consuming 200 Essence Points, the Spirit Plant Technique has been upgraded to Tier 2!]

[Tier 2 Spirit Plants (0/10000)]

"Continue," Yu Changsheng glanced at the 10,000 essence points needed, but didn't react much. These essence points were just a small amount of money to him right now, so he didn't hesitate and continued to add points.

[Consuming 10000 Essence Points, Spirit Plant Technique upgraded to Tier 3!]

[Tier 3 Spirit Plant (0/100000)]

"100,000 essence points, continue to improve."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, closed his eyes, and felt the various kinds of spiritual plant knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind. He then gently exhaled.

[100000 Essence Points Consumed! Spirit Plant Technique Upgraded to Tier 4!]

[Tier 4 Spirit Plant (0/500000)]

"That's about enough."

Yu Changsheng felt a throbbing pain between his eyebrows. He rubbed his forehead, and a glimmer of clarity appeared in his eyes. Various methods of cultivating spiritual plants, the techniques required for planting... all sorts of miscellaneous knowledge kept flooding into Yu Changsheng's mind, including some corresponding spiritual plant spells, all of which he had some insights into.

Unlike elixirs, the method of cultivating spiritual plants does not require a high level of cultivation. Therefore, with Yu Changsheng's current cultivation level, he can fully utilize the power of the fourth rank.

After resting briefly and fully digesting the spiritual plant method in his mind, Yu Changsheng slowly got up and walked towards the backyard.

Yang Tianyi's cave dwelling was actually quite large. Under the cover of the array, a huge medicinal field was also set aside in the backyard, where various spiritual herbs grew vigorously, surrounded by spiritual energy, supplying Yang Tianyi's daily needs for refining medicine.

The nearly 100-acre area was divided into several zones. Some zones had astonishingly high temperatures and were engulfed in flames, while others were shrouded in cold air and covered in frost. Still others were shrouded in mist and constantly moistened with water...

Depending on the different needs of various spiritual herbs for their growth environment, the environments are also completely different. Each herb is monopolized by an array, so they do not interfere with each other. It can be seen that Yang Tianyi has put a lot of thought into creating this spiritual herb garden.

In general, the herb garden is full of spiritual energy and fragrant with herbs. For ordinary people, just standing here and smelling it can prolong life, boost energy, and have endless benefits.

That year, in order to supply Yu Changsheng with the resources needed for refining pills, the hundred acres of medicinal fields were reduced considerably, leaving a lot of empty land. Most of the remaining land consisted of spiritual herbs that had not yet reached their full potential.

Yang Tianyi's joking remark about generally losing his family fortune, while an exaggeration, does reveal some truth to it.

"Master is really generous..."

Yu Changsheng was slightly moved. After pondering for a moment, he walked to an open space and carefully took out spiritual herbs from his storage bag and planted them.

"Nine-star grass has a mild medicinal effect, but its growing environment is extremely harsh. It likes to take root in dry and hot places, so it is most suitable to plant it in a fiery area."

"The Seven-Leaf Frost Flower has seven frosty leaves and is icy cold all over, yet it grows in a mild place with abundant spiritual energy. Therefore, planting it in the Warm Spirit Zone should be the best choice."

"Blood Ganoderma... ten years of medicinal efficacy, deep and brittle roots, requiring extra care during cultivation..."

.........

In his mind, various key points about these spiritual plants gradually emerged. In Huishui Mountain, Yu Changsheng had picked a massive amount of spiritual herbs. With continuous planting, the originally empty area was soon filled with spiritual herbs again.

Meanwhile, Yang Tianyi, who was secretly watching Yu Changsheng, was so shocked that his jaw dropped. His expression changed from calm to disbelief, and finally to a smile.

"This guy's method of transplanting spiritual herbs isn't as bad as I thought. There are some techniques and precautions required for transplanting these spiritual herbs that I'm not even clear about, yet he has such a clear understanding of them."

"So many miraculous herbs, and a 100% transplant survival rate... It seems I underestimated him."

The method of cultivating spirit plants may seem simple, but it actually involves many things, such as planting methods, transplanting techniques, and the care of various spirit plants, etc.

Without years of experience and advice, it would be difficult to achieve a 100% survival rate like Yu Changsheng.

It took a full three hours, until most of the empty spaces in the herb garden were filled in, and all the spiritual herbs that Yu Changsheng had been picking were transplanted.

"It's almost done..."

Looking at the vast medicinal herb field in front of him, Yu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face as he relaxed.

"The rest is simple."

"Rain-Making Technique!"

Yu Changsheng chuckled and clapped his hands. The next moment, the surrounding spiritual energy surged into mist, continuously condensing and eventually turning into wisps of raindrops that fell onto the spiritual herbs, constantly nourishing them.

"It's not sustainable to keep depleting Master's reserves; they always need to be replenished."

After muttering something to himself, Yu Changsheng spent another half day dealing with the matter, then took the Condensation Pill and left for Zhang Tianwen's residence.

…………

"Chang Sheng, how...how can I possibly thank you?"

Zhang Tianwen looked at the pill in his hand with a sigh and a complex emotion as he looked at Yu Changsheng and said softly.

"What are you thanking me for? We senior brothers don't need to be so formal. The best thing is that Senior Brother Zhang can recover his mental state as soon as possible."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, patted Zhang Tianwen on the shoulder, and refused the storage bag Zhang Tianwen offered, saying without further ado:

"Alright, now that you have the Foundation Condensation Pill, Senior Brother, take it as soon as possible. I won't disturb you any longer and will head back now. I hope to see you again in your former glory next time I see you."

After saying this, Yu Changsheng bowed to Zhang Tianwen and returned to his cave. As for Zhang Tianwen's final fate, Yu Changsheng could only offer his silent blessings.

"Sigh." Watching Yu Changsheng's figure gradually disappear from sight, Zhang Tianwen let out a long sigh, then looked at the pill in his hand, shook his head, and perked up.

"This is the last attempt. If it fails, then I'll have no choice but to use this to condense my golden core..."

For a whole week, the Wanxiang Sect returned to peace, and everything was as usual.

The matter of Yu Changsheng and his companions in Huishui Mountain was ultimately known only to a small number of people, so it did not cause much of a stir. Yu Changsheng's life also returned to peace and quiet, as he raised chickens, fed beasts, and cultivated...

However, within the Myriad Manifestations Sect, the operation against the Dark Currents never ceased. After thorough planning, Zheng Tianheng personally took charge and launched a campaign to thoroughly investigate all Dark Currents strongholds within a ten-thousand-mile radius of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, issuing a directive to annihilate the Dark Currents organization.

Their reasons were well-founded, their attitude was extremely firm, and they even had the unparalleled Purple Mansion Ancestor of the Myriad Manifestations Sect as their backer, making their statement even more awe-inspiring.

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

As a result, the entire sect was shaken, missions were issued one after another, cultivators were dispatched, and spies throughout the Myriad Manifestations Sect territory kept bringing news of undercurrents.

All of this shocked the other sects within the Three Gates and Six Sects, as well as a host of petty villains. Some followed suit, but most remained on the sidelines and observed.

The only one that surprised the Myriad Manifestations Sect was the Purple Rainbow Sect, one of the three sects. It was after this that the sect made a statement, vowing to thoroughly investigate the undercurrents within its territory. Upon discovery, they would immediately investigate and even issued an order to cooperate with the Myriad Manifestations Sect's actions if necessary.

This caused quite a stir among the previously silent sects, who began to discuss and speculate amongst themselves.

"The Purple Rainbow Sect is siding with the Myriad Manifestations Sect! Everyone knows that the Dark Current organization has some ties to the Profound Yin Sect. First, the Myriad Manifestations Sect announced its plan to annihilate the Dark Current, and now, the Purple Rainbow Sect has also expressed its support..."

"Now, even if the Xuan Yin Sect is furious, they probably won't dare to turn against us for the time being! They'll all need to think this over carefully."

"However, when did the Purple Rainbow Sect and the Myriad Manifestations Sect become so close? Or is this just a coincidence?"

Within the Three Sects and Six Schools, there were also some high-ranking members of smaller forces who exchanged ideas and reflected on this matter.

"That's true. The Dark Currents have become increasingly ruthless in their actions over the years. Various forces have long harbored deep resentment towards the Dark Currents, but they dare not speak out because they are wary of the combined strength of the Xuan Yin Sect and the Dark Currents."

"Now that the Myriad Manifestations Sect has taken the lead, and with the Purple Rainbow Sect also siding with them, all of this seems to make perfect sense..."

"After all, such an uncertain organization is not only a cancer, but also the eyes and ears of the Xuan Yin Sect. No one wants such an organization stirring up trouble within their own sphere of influence."

As these thoughts came to fruition, following the intervention of the Purple Rainbow Gate, several smaller forces also took action, launching a series of annihilation operations against the Undercurrents.

Within the Three Gates and Six Sects, two more sects stepped forward, echoing the Myriad Manifestations Sect, taking this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the undercurrents and spies within their own forces. Only some forces with good relations with the Profound Yin Sect remained in a wait-and-see state.

Even so, as one undercurrent stronghold after another was eliminated and one undercurrent cultivator after another was killed by various sects, more things were exposed and surfaced, and for a time, the entire Martial Continent was filled with rage.

"What?! These cultivators in the Dark Currents are not only blinded by greed, but also ruthless, secretly practicing evil techniques?!"

"How dare they?! Using the blood of an entire city's mortals to cultivate their so-called Dark Current Sacred Technique, in exchange for superhuman cultivation speed?! Their crimes are heinous and utterly outrageous!"

.........

"The souls of tens of thousands of mortals are condensed into a Blood Soul Golden Core?! I was wondering why there were so many Golden Core experts within the Undercurrent. At first, I thought they were forcibly created through resources and pills, but I never imagined they were cultivated using such an unjust and evil method!"

"Damn it! If this cancer isn't eradicated, how can there be peace in my Martial Continent, and how can the millions of mortal beings live in peace?!"

"Fifty years ago, the Hanshui Sect was wiped out overnight. Not a single living being survived within the sect's territory. The earth was stained with blood, the blood-red light filled the sky, and the resentment was astonishing. It turns out that it was the people of the Dark Current Sect who secretly made the move, their purpose being to help the Dark Current Sect Master break through to the Purple Mansion realm?!"

.........

As various sects continued their encirclement and annihilation of Anliu, news of this kind was constantly being revealed. As a result, in a short period of time, everyone in Wuzhou was on edge, and Anliu's reputation plummeted, becoming like a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone. At this moment, the anger towards Anliu in Wuzhou completely erupted.

This situation was something the Myriad Manifestations Sect hadn't anticipated at first. In the end, they could only lament that what Anliu had done over the years was truly unforgivable and deserved its own fate.

Even so, many forces, most of them, remained silent and observed, refraining from making any rash moves or joining the operation to eliminate and investigate the undercurrents.

Many people turned their attention to the Xuan Yin Sect, awaiting their response. The Xuan Yin Sect, however, remained strangely silent, allowing the outside world to swirl around without offering any comment.

Yu Changsheng also received the news immediately and kept a close eye on the progress of the operation, even personally participating in it.

Looking at the shimmering communication jade tube in his hand, Yu Changsheng's eyes flickered. He took a deep breath and muttered to himself:

"I never imagined there was such a dark side to this undercurrent. They really brought this upon themselves. How interesting."

"From the day I fought Yan Ta, I sensed something was wrong with the technique he practiced and how cruel it was. I thought it was just an isolated case, but now it seems that there was probably some collusion going on all along."

"As expected, there is a connection between the Xuan Yin Sect and the Dark Current. The Dark Current dared to do such astonishing things in the Martial Continent, and for so many years no one has noticed anything unusual. If there is no Xuan Yin Sect covering for them, it is obviously impossible..."

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, and as he thought of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a hint of killing intent burst forth.

"To commit such heinous acts with such utter recklessness, Anliu! He's already courting death, truly deserving of a thousand deaths! Very well, let's see how Anliu, who has incited public outrage, will continue to struggle to survive this time."

"I wonder what the Xuan Yin Sect will do in the face of this situation? Will they intervene covertly, or simply give up? Although their underhanded tactics are notorious, they are still a crucial piece of the game..."

"Giving up like this is tantamount to letting the Xuan Yin Sect cut off a piece of its flesh; they'll probably feel especially heartbroken, won't they?" (End of Chapter)
