Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

For the disciples in this area, this trip to the abyss was already quite fruitful, and their impression of Yu Changsheng's group improved even further.

In fact, this was one of the purposes of Yuan Menghua sending Yu Changsheng here: to win over people's hearts.

Seeing that none of the other disciples had any objections, Yu Changsheng simply stopped being coy. He gently exhaled, looked down at the Bloodstained Poison-Forging Grass in his hand, smiled slightly, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Creak..."

Yu Changsheng chewed, a slight smile playing on his lips, and muttered something under his breath:

"The taste is alright, not too bitter, and the texture is quite crunchy..."

The elixir tasted bitter at first, but it wasn't difficult to swallow. As he chewed, streams of clear liquid flowed into Yu Changsheng's mouth. After swallowing, it felt like a clear spring flowing through his entire body.

"Buzzing!!"

As the elixir entered his mouth, Yu Changsheng's eyes widened suddenly, his body trembled violently, and a mysterious feeling permeated his entire body, indescribable and inexplicable.

He felt his mind was clear and transparent, and his physical body seemed to be ignited and transformed into specks of heat, flowing through the depths of his mind, spirit, and soul.

Yu Changsheng was in a daze, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He felt the effects of the medicine flowing gently through his body, and he seemed to be deep in thought. His brows furrowed and then relaxed.

As mentioned earlier, the Blood-Soaked Poison-Severing Herb requires the stimulation of poison to integrate its medicinal effects into the skin and body. Otherwise, it can only exert eight or nine tenths of its power. During this process, its resistance to poison will continuously increase, eventually making it immune to all poisons, and its physical body will also be greatly enhanced, experiencing a leap in growth.

Therefore, the Blood-Soaked Poison-Eliminating Herb is priceless.

"Is it poisonous...?"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment, then glanced down at his storage bag. He did have quite a few poisons, but they were all common ones, in small quantities, and wouldn't have much of an effect.

but……

Yu Changsheng turned his head, winked and smiled at Li Minghan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Isn't this exactly where we need you? Summoning your Myriad Poison Dragon will come in handy."

Li Minghan was taken aback, but after a moment's thought, he understood the reasoning. He nodded and, without hesitation, summoned the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon that had just returned to the inner realm.

"Ang Ang!"

The Poisonous Dragon roared in bewilderment, its face showing confusion, and it looked at Li Minghan with some displeasure.

He had just returned to the interior and was planning to rest when he was summoned back and forced to work overtime, which naturally annoyed him.

It wasn't that Wan Du Ya Long was particularly tired; he simply disliked Yu Chang Sheng and didn't want to stay by his side.

"Hehe, why are you glaring at me? Something good is coming your way!" Li Minghan slapped Wan Du Yalong on the head, glared at him, muttered something, and then pointed at Yu Changsheng, saying:

"Here, I know you're unwilling to accept this. Isn't this your chance? Release your poison and envelop Changsheng. Don't worry, he won't hit you."

Upon hearing Li Minghan's words, Yu Changsheng chuckled but didn't object. He simply nodded in response to the bewildered look on the face of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon.

"Ang ang ang??"

Wan Du Yalong was somewhat bewildered and confused. His tone was filled with doubt as he looked at Yu Changsheng and then at Li Minghan, speaking in a deep, human voice:

"Kid, you're not going to back out of the contract, are you? You don't want to keep the agreement, so you're just trying to find some excuse to kill me, right?"

"I knew you humans were all treacherous and untrustworthy, but I never imagined you were so vulgar. You don't even know your reason, so come up with a better one."

Wan Du Ya Long groaned, turning his head away, his scarlet eyes revealing grief and indignation.

"..." Li Minghan rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly, somewhat speechless, gesturing wildly as he explained, "You're just making wild guesses all day long. Just do as I say. This is what you need, okay?"

Yu Changsheng also almost laughed, shaking his head and muttering to himself, "It seems this Thousand Poison Dragon is indeed somewhat afraid of me, but..."

With a slight smile, Yu Changsheng, too lazy to waste any more words, swung his Purple Spirit Emperor Sword, placing it above the head of the Myriad Poison Dragon. A three-foot-long gleam of cold light was poised to strike. Yu Changsheng spoke calmly:

"Don't talk too much. If I tell you to spout nonsense, then spout nonsense. Why all the 'whys'? You're still somewhat useful, so you should know what to do."

As he spoke, Yu Changsheng paused, his expression softening slightly, but he tightened his grip on the sword, and said softly:

"Don't worry, if I wanted you dead, I would have killed you back then. Why would I need to make up these excuses?"

The body of the Poisonous Dragon suddenly stiffened. Sensing the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword hanging above its head, the sword spirit, Purple Spirit Emperor, appeared, hopping around on the dragon's head with giggles and playfully tugging at its horns.

The Poisonous Dragon swallowed hard, its dragon eyes flashing, and spoke with a tone of disbelief and probing:

"You said it yourself, are you sure? My poison is extremely potent; even I don't have an antidote when it's unleashed at full power."

"Stop arguing. Just come on."

Yu Changsheng slowly withdrew the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword from his hand, opened his arms, nodded to the Myriad Poison Dragon, and remained expressionless.

"Alright." The Poisonous Dragon said, its breath gathering as it spewed from its head, eventually turning into a small black mist that slowly drifted toward Yu Changsheng.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The black mist was as black as ink. Wherever it reached, a series of squeaking sounds came from the air, as if it were being corroded. At this moment, it surged forward, with only a few strands falling onto the ground. Instantly, the surrounding area was plunged into darkness, the vegetation withered, and all things perished.

The surrounding moisture suddenly seemed to be corroded, emitting bursts of black gas, which was the natal poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon. However, it was clear that the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon was still afraid of Yu Changsheng, so it only sprayed a small patch, barely enough to cover half of Yu Changsheng's body.

"Good timing."

Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up. After hesitating for a while, he overcame his body's instinct to defend against the poisonous mist and let the poison adhere to the surface of his skin, turning into specks of black mist that wanted to penetrate his pores and seep into his flesh and bones.

"Click click click..."

A crisp sound of bones cracking rang out, and Yu Changsheng's expression suddenly twisted in pain. His face darkened, and veins bulged on his forehead, the red blood quickly turning black and slightly duller. Yu Changsheng's face hardened, his expression contorted with pain.

Even so, Yu Changsheng merely gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, forcibly suppressing his surging cultivation and letting the poison ravage his body.

The Poisonous Dragon, being a king-level beast, possesses a rare and highly sought-after poison, with few rivals of its caliber. The reason it wasn't noticeable on Yu Changsheng earlier was because he was intentionally resisting it.

Neither the flames, which were quite resistant to toxicity, nor Yu Changsheng's already formidable physical body, actually allowed almost no poison to enter his body. In a short time, the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon was successfully resisted, making it appear less than impressive.

In fact, if it were any other Golden Core cultivator, they would certainly be extremely cautious and prudent.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng could be said to have deliberately become tainted by the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon. He even suppressed the resistance of his physical body and the neutralization of his cultivation, allowing the poison to be completely exposed in his body and allowed to run rampant and cause destruction. Instantly, the pain of this poisoning swept over him, so intense that he almost couldn't hold on.

However, this poison was quite strange. Even though his body was in excruciating pain, it seemed to have a hypnotic effect, acting on Yu Changsheng's soul and bringing an inexplicable drowsiness. In just a few breaths, the drowsiness turned into a vast ocean, wave after wave, impacting Yu Changsheng's mind. As a result, Yu Changsheng yawned repeatedly, his face revealing his fatigue and drowsiness, and he was drowsy.

"So sleepy..."

Yu Changsheng yawned and mumbled something.

"Chang Sheng, are you alright? If you can't handle it, don't force yourself."

Li Minghan looked at Yu Changsheng with some worry, his lips twitching, then he patted the head of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon hard and glared at it, saying:

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

"Why release so much of your innate poison? Couldn't you have released less and started with some more common poison?"

"hold head high?!?"

Wan Du Ya Long turned his head in surprise, looked at Li Minghan, and cried out in a tone of resentment and grievance.

He's already been very restrained, okay? If it weren't for the fact that he and Li Minghan have now formed a contract and are practically bound by fate, he probably would have taken this opportunity to poison Yu Changsheng to death without holding back...

Of course, this was just a thought; he didn't have the guts to do it. After all, although the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword had been put away, the sword spirit, the Purple Child, which was Yu Changsheng's fifth tamed beast, was still playing with the dragon horns on his head.

Although the purple child appeared harmless and quite adorable, the subtle aura emanating from it was enough to terrify the Thousand Poison Dragon. It had no doubt that if it wanted to, it could easily snap off its horns, along with its head…

.........

"It's okay, continue!"

At that very moment, as the poison completely invaded Yu Changsheng's body, the medicinal effects of the Blood-Soaked Poison-Severing Grass, which had been circulating endlessly within Yu Changsheng's body like a trickle, seemed to be stimulated and awakened. It became as agile as a small snake and actively rushed towards the poison of the Myriad Poison Dragons within his body.

Like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey and spotting something delicious, ripples spread outwards, and Yu Changsheng's spirits were also lifted. His drowsiness vanished completely, and an indescribable comfort swept over his entire body.

In an instant, the poison that had entered his body was completely devoured, and the medicinal effect, which resembled a small snake, gradually spread and merged into Yu Changsheng's internal organs, limbs, and skin. A faint red glow flickered across Changsheng's skin.

A refreshing feeling swept over his entire body, and Yu Changsheng felt happy and relaxed. All the negative states disappeared, and his physical body was also strengthened. After being corroded by poisonous gas and refined by the Blood-Soaked Poisonous Herb, Yu Changsheng could clearly feel that his meridians, blood and qi, and physical body were much more resilient.

"So this is the secret of the Blood-Soaked Poisonous Herb..."

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, lost in thought, his eyes gleaming.

The Blood-Soaked Poison Herb is made by corroding the plant with poison and then neutralizing it with medicinal effects. While detoxifying, it transforms the poison into medicine, strengthens the user's body, and increases the user's resistance to poison. Thus, the user is reborn after dying, forged in the destruction of poison and the regeneration of the body, achieving a body that is immune to all poisons.

This is the mystery of the Blood-Soaked Poison Herb. And without a doubt, this process is painful. Although it can detoxify, it cannot shield one from the pain of being corroded by the poison. In fact, the poison must first take effect before it can "treat" the poison. Therefore, Yu Changsheng can be said to be in excruciating pain.

"Fortunately, I have developed a fairly good immunity to pain, so I can understand this little bit of pain."

With a furrowed brow, Yu Changsheng sensed the changes within his body as he led the group outside without stopping.

The poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Dragon gradually seeped into his body, but was digested and neutralized by the medicinal effects of the Blood-Soaked Body-Forging Grass. During this process of detoxification and poisoning, Yu Changsheng's physical strength was also slowly increasing.

However, it seems to have reached a certain bottleneck, so it is very slow. Only the mysterious meaning is becoming more and more obvious, as if it is enticing the blood and qi of the body to gather in the mysterious.

"Is this feeling a desire to gather the essence of the physical body... in order to knock on the door to advance to the Purple Mansion realm?"

Yu Changsheng's eyes flashed as he sensed the strange changes within his body and pondered in his mind.

Purple Mansion, the next realm after Golden Core, is a place where those who can cultivate to the point of having a lifespan of up to a thousand years. They also possess great supernatural powers in every gesture and have the ability to establish their own sect. Because of its power, it is difficult to cultivate and is therefore revered as a True Lord.

The biggest difference between the Purple Mansion True Lord and the Golden Core Realm is that people at this level have already stepped into the embryonic form of the Dao. Their essence, energy, and spirit are perfectly integrated and condensed into the Purple Mansion Gate. Through this gate, they can seal and borrow the great power of heaven and earth to empower themselves and gain unparalleled combat power.

The Purple Mansion Gate is the embodiment of the physical body, soul, and magical power. A Purple Mansion True Lord can condense up to nine Purple Mansion Gates. Three of them represent blood essence, which is the blood and qi of the physical body. As long as the blood and qi Purple Mansion Gate is destroyed, the physical body can be nourished. The other three represent magical power, which means that the magical power of the Purple Mansion is inexhaustible.

The last three are gods, that is, divine consciousness and soul.

If these three are combined and intact, even if your physical body is destroyed and your magic power is exhausted, you can still have your soul leave your body and possess another person to be reborn, or become a ghost cultivator and exist in the world as a spirit, and will not immediately dissipate after death.

This is what makes the Purple Mansion special and powerful. It is completely different from the Golden Core, which is like heaven and earth.

A necessary process for a Golden Core cultivator to advance to the Purple Mansion realm is to condense their physical body, cultivation level, and divine soul into three Dao flowers—the Heavenly Flower, the Earthly Flower, and the Human Flower.

Finally, the three flowers gather at the top, thus drawing in the torrent of heaven and earth, which then transforms into the gate to the Purple Palace, allowing one to fully enter the Purple Palace!

Yuan Menghua had told Yu Changsheng all this on the way, and at this moment, Yu Changsheng felt a stirring in his heart! (End of Chapter)
