Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 43: The Selection Begins (Please Read On)

A month later.

The selection process for the menial disciples has begun.

Many handyman disciples signed up, including many veteran handymen who had not yet advanced to the outer sect despite being at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.

For those handyman disciples who were already in their seventies or eighties, every selection was an opportunity. The previous failure was not ruthless enough; they had to be even more ruthless.

Only in this way can they stand out on the stage and become outer disciples. Having regretted it several times, they have now gradually become more determined.

"Senior Brother Zhuang, are you going to participate in the selection?"

In the courtyard, a servant disciple exclaimed in surprise, and only then did the others notice that Zhuang Yan had actually reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, qualifying him to participate in the selection.

"When did Senior Brother Zhuang break through so quietly?!"

"Ah, it seems Senior Brother Zhuang is leaving us!"

"If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other!"

"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhuang, after you become an outer disciple, remember to take care of us."

Faced with the fawning of those around him, Zhuang Yan smiled slightly and said, "Whether I can successfully advance is still unknown."

"If Senior Brother Zhuang says so, there definitely won't be any problems!"

"Yeah yeah!"

"By the way, is Senior Brother Yu also participating?"

"He signed up a few days ago. Hopefully, he won't run into Senior Brother Zhuang in the arena, otherwise it'll be troublesome."

"Haha, thousands of menial laborers participate in the selection every year, so it's not that easy for them to run into each other."

"Of the thousands of menial disciples, only a hundred can be selected. I don't know when I will be able to become an outer disciple."

"Don't be discouraged. Look, Senior Brother Zhuang has been working hard for more than four years. It will be our turn sooner or later."

"In that case, Senior Brother Yu is really amazing. He can participate in just one year. It's so good to have a benefactor like him. Do you think the job of managing the Spirit Chicken Garden will fall to us after Senior Brother Yu becomes an outer disciple?"

"You're dreaming!"

Amidst laughter and joking, on the other side, at the Chicken Garden.

After feeding the last chicken, Yu Changsheng gained another 135 points of essence.

Just then, Steward Chang rushed in from outside. Upon seeing him, he immediately called out, "Chang Sheng!"

"I heard you're also going to participate in the sect selection?"

As the blue-robed stewards of the tenth outer peak, Steward Chang and Steward Wang obviously knew how many miscellaneous disciples from the outer peak had signed up to participate.

Yu Changsheng replied truthfully, "Yes, only by becoming an outer disciple can one grow better."

"But, but you've only recently reached the fifth level of Qi Refining, and you've chosen to become a Beast Tamer. Don't you know that every year, many of the menial disciples who participate in the selection die on the arena? You're so weak, what if you get injured and die there!"

"Take my advice and stay here to feed the chickens for me. I'll give you five extra low-grade spirit stones every month!"

"I'm worried," said Manager Chang.

Since Yu Changsheng arrived, a new Spirit Chicken King has been raised every month, and the other Spirit Chickens are getting fatter and fatter, with their reproduction rate increasing significantly.

He was thus rewarded by his Uncle Han, and his contributions to the sect increased significantly, so he was very reluctant to let Yu Changsheng leave.

But Yu Changsheng was determined and said, "This disciple wants to enter the Beast Taming Peak as soon as possible to learn their magic, so I cannot back down."

Upon hearing this, Manager Chang sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Yu Changsheng suddenly smiled and said, "But Beast Taming Peak is also very close to the Spirit Chicken Garden here, so the disciple can often come to take care of the spirit chickens, so Steward Chang doesn't need to worry."

"You mean you won't leave the Spirit Chicken Garden?" Steward Chang asked in surprise.

Yu Changsheng smiled and nodded.

The daily essence income from the Spirit Chicken Garden is quite substantial, and feeding them doesn't take much time or effort, so he can manage to take care of them.

Upon receiving this affirmative reply, Steward Chang was immediately relieved and smiled, "That's good. The previous agreement on increasing spirit stones still applies, as long as the monthly output of spirit chickens is the same as that of the Spirit Chicken King."

"If you make progress at Beast Taming Peak and increase production, I will also get the reward from Uncle Han for you."

"However, this selection process includes some veteran laborers. Don't be fooled by their sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining without advancing; sometimes they're overlooked simply because they're too old. Their methods are in no way inferior to others. You must be careful, and if things become unfavorable, surrender early!"

"Thank you, Steward Chang. I understand," Yu Changsheng replied respectfully.

"Yeah, I'll be there on the day of the selection, so be careful."

Manager Chang gave one last, concerned instruction before leaving.

After he left, Yu Changsheng went to the outside of the Spirit Chicken Garden and, as usual, summoned the Crimson Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King to begin their combat training.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

Looking at the magnificent battle before him, with debris flying everywhere, Yu Changsheng felt much more at ease.

In the eyes of others, beast tamers of the same level are all weak, but that's because others can't afford to train beasts or raise them poorly.

He, the Crimson Serpent King at the seventh level of the first tier, and the Iron Eagle King at the fifth level of the first tier, also possessed multiple different attack modes. He was confident that he could defeat even a peak Qi Refining cultivator by combining them. He was no longer the weak beast tamer he once was.

"Other beast tamers are weak because they are not good enough, it doesn't mean I am the same."

"If you underestimate beast tamers, hehehe." Yu Changsheng laughed.

Wait until the battle ends.

He took out a piece of first-tier demon beast meat as a reward for the Crimson Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King, and then put them back into his inner world.

To date, his essence count has exceeded an astonishing ten thousand points.

[Remaining Essence: 11350]

He really wanted to use those 10,000 points of essence. Thinking about the fireball technique of the Golden Core cultivator Mu Chengping a month ago, he wanted to add even more points to the fireball technique.

But how powerful is Xiao Cheng's fireball spell? He wasn't sure if spending 10,000 essence points for it was worth it.

That's why I've hesitated until now.

"Let's wait a bit longer. If there are really opponents we can't handle on the selection arena, then we'll add some fireballs."

Having painstakingly saved up so much essence, Yu Changsheng was still somewhat reluctant to use it.

His strength is already quite high at the Qi Refining stage, so there's no need for him to continue improving. Once he becomes an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Peak, he will need to use even more spells and beast taming techniques.

Yu Changsheng returned to the wooden house and rested for a day before receiving a message from his master, Gongsun Yang.

"I am about to go into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. This Myriad Gods Pill can be used in a critical moment and can save your life."

In the alchemy hall, Gongsun Yang handed Yu Changsheng a golden pill and gave him instructions.

"Thank you, Master." Yu Changsheng bowed deeply in gratitude.

"Okay, go ahead, and tell your junior brother too." Gongsun Yang closed his eyes, began to cultivate his inner energy and spirit, and waited for the best time to break through.

After leaving the room, Yu Changsheng encountered Tang Xing, who happened to be outside.

After exchanging greetings, Tang Xing saw him off with a broad smile.

Wishing you all the best, senior brother.

Don't die too soon, junior brother has prepared a big surprise for you!

As the figure walked further and further away, a smile appeared on Tang Xing's lips.
