Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 5 Fortune Turns Around

There were many servants and stewards on one of the outer peaks, but only two stewards in blue robes.

One was in charge of miscellaneous tasks in the administrative office, and the other was in charge of places such as sacred fields; both held high positions.

"Manager Chang!"

Upon seeing the blue-robed steward, Huang Li was startled and quickly sheathed his spirit sword, adopting a docile, smiling expression.

"Why did you come to Lingji Garden today? You could have just called me if you needed anything."

Chang He flicked his sleeves, his face grim, and snorted, "If I hadn't come over, this Spirit Chicken Garden might have been ruined by you!"

"No way, I was just joking with this junior brother, just kidding."

Huang Li smiled apologetically, while the two handymen disciples beside him also lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.

When Chang He's gaze fell upon Yu Changsheng...

Yu Changsheng then cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Steward Chang. I was late feeding the chickens today, please don't blame Senior Brother Huang."

He didn't plan to complain to Chang He. After all, Huang Li had been bullying newcomers for a long time, so it would be strange if the other party didn't know.

And never expect your boss to make decisions for you.

Upon hearing this, Chang He looked at him with some surprise and asked, "Have you been feeding the spirit chickens lately?"

Yu Changsheng didn't understand Chang He's look, but he still nodded.

"Come in with me and feed it for me to see." Chang He took out a wooden plaque, activated the magic circle, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Yu Changsheng was a little puzzled by the other party's request. Was there something special about the spirit chicken he was raising?

Beside him, Huang Li sensed something was amiss.

Once inside, Yu Changsheng skillfully picked up a small basin and fed the spirit chickens.

Chang He was overjoyed to see the chickens in the coop, where they were quiet and not making a fuss.

The quality of the spirit chickens raised recently has been getting worse and worse, which has displeased the higher-ups. Even Uncle Han, who invested a lot of money in them, has reprimanded him. He will be hosting a banquet for Foundation Establishment cultivators next month, and if the quality is still the same, his contribution for this year will be halved!

This troubled Chang He for a long time, and he wondered whether he should replace Huang Li and let someone else try.

As for Huang Li's brother, he had already given him enough face. He was just an outer sect genius, and there was no need to go out of his way to please him and lose his own contribution.

As a result, the spirit chicken that was recently delivered suddenly became plump and delicious. Chang He was surprised and curious at the same time, which led to today's trip.

"Good, good, good." Chang He squatted down, examined the fiercest spirit chicken, laughed a few times, and then turned to ask Yu Changsheng.

"I see your spiritual sense is quite extensive; have you chosen the Beast Taming Peak inheritance?"

He had witnessed the previous battles, so Yu Changsheng wasn't surprised that the other party had guessed it, and thus readily admitted it.

"No wonder, some beast tamers are very talented in breeding. I am very relieved to have you take care of this flock of spirit chickens. If you can raise this spirit chicken into the spirit chicken king next month, I will reward you with a spirit enhancement pill!" Chang He pointed to the most ferocious spirit chicken and said.

Spirit Enhancement Pills are a highly prized cultivation resource among Qi Refining cultivators. One pill can be equivalent to several months of arduous cultivation, and even the worst quality pill is worth more than a dozen low-grade spirit stones if sold outside!

Ordinary spirit chickens are worth only a few spirit stones in the market, but spirit chicken kings are different. It is rare for one to be born from a flock of spirit chickens, and it all depends on luck. However, if the breeding methods are better, the probability can indeed be increased.

A single Spirit Chicken King costs at least fifty low-grade spirit stones, which is why Chang He was willing to pay for the Spirit Enhancement Pill. If he could raise one, he would gain a lot of face in front of Uncle Han!

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng did not immediately agree, but subconsciously glanced at Huang Li.

Huang Li's expression was unpleasant; he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with not only jealousy but also indignation.

This servant disciple gets all the good things! Why?!

He turned his head to look at Yu Changsheng and gave a cold snort.

The Spirit Chicken King is not so easy to train. If you train him and he gets a reward, and he is under your command, dealing with him will be a simple matter.

The Spirit Enhancement Pill will ultimately belong to you!

Upon seeing this, Chang He immediately understood Huang Li's intentions and his face darkened.

This spirit chicken is crucial to his future. If he keeps Huang Li here and fails to raise it properly, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

So he said, "Huang Li, give him the array wooden plaque. You don't need to come to this Spirit Chicken Garden anymore. I'll find you another odd job."

Upon hearing this, Huang Li's illusions were shattered, his expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Manager Chang is just a novice handyman, how can he manage the spirit chickens? It's more reliable to have me here."

"No need," Chang He said coldly. "Give him the array plaque."

As the blue-robed manager, how could he not know whether it was reliable or not? Other matters could be discussed, but the Spirit Chicken Garden was non-negotiable!

Huang Li dared not disobey, and could only grit his teeth and stare at Yu Changsheng before handing over the array wooden tablet.

"Alright, that's enough for today. I hope you won't disturb him feeding the spirit chickens anymore." Chang He waved his hand, letting Huang Li leave first, and then said to Yu Changsheng.

"If you need anything, you can come to the servants' quarters to find me."

"Yes, Mr. Chang."

Yu Changsheng watched the other person leave, glanced at the wooden sign, and thought to himself.

I caused Huang Li to lose his job, and he probably won't let it go easily. I'll have to be more careful when I go out in the future.

He is strong enough to deal with Huang Li now, but he can't defeat three or five of them if they attack together.

We simply don't have enough methods.

After thinking it over, he looked at the fiercest spirit chicken, squatted down and touched it, and a message popped up.

[Spirit Beast Metamorphosis]

[Ordinary Spirit Chicken → Spirit Chicken King]

【Required Essence: 655】

This means that it only requires Yu Changsheng's slightest thought to transform into the Spirit Chicken King.

However, Yu Changsheng does not intend to transform now.

"655 essence points can be collected in five days, a month is plenty of time, enough for me to become stronger than Huang Li!"

Yu Changsheng stood up and added all 135 points of essence he had gained from feeding today to the Divine Refinement Technique, thinking confidently.

"I just hope you don't fall into my trap."

Perhaps because of Chang He's warning, Yu Changsheng returned to the courtyard from the Spirit Chicken Garden without incident.

Upon entering the courtyard, he was immediately surrounded by a group of servant disciples, but they weren't there to attack him; they were there to offer their congratulations.

"Junior Brother Yu, hahaha, I knew you were a talented man who would definitely make it big. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't forget me when you succeed!"

"Junior Brother Yu, you don't need to irrigate your spirit field anymore. Steward Chang said you should focus on feeding the spirit chickens. Now that the spirit field is under my name, I'll send you a bag of spirit rice to taste when it's harvested!"

"This is my new spring outing guidebook, Junior Brother Yu. Take a look tonight; it shows the shared interests of us kindred spirits!"

"Junior Brother Yu, if you ever become rich and powerful, don't forget me!"

Yu Changsheng smiled back at each of them, dealing with them until he was exhausted. He returned to the wooden house, closed the door, and found himself carrying many more things.

The servant disciple who used to ignore him is now incredibly enthusiastic.

This world is unpredictable; fortunes change.
