Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"I've thought of a way."

Yu Changsheng slapped his forehead, a glint of light appearing in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"Oh?"

Old Wei was taken aback, then perked up and looked at Yu Changsheng curiously, asking:

"Tell me quickly, what's the plan?"

"Um………"

Yu Changsheng pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Master, do you still remember that group of demonic cultivator pirates who came to our Spirit Mine Island a few days ago?"

"I remember, didn't you eliminate them all? What does it matter?" Old Wei was even more puzzled, looking completely bewildered.

"Haha." Yu Changsheng smiled mysteriously and nodded. "That's very important, Master. Tell me, what is the most common yet most distinctive profession in the entire North Sea Region compared to our Southern Region?"

"Huh?" Old Wei looked surprised and looked at Yu Chang's opinion with a puzzled expression, but then lowered his head and pondered carefully.

"The most common yet most distinctive profession in the entire North Sea compared to the South Sea..."

Old Wei pondered for a moment, then a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, and he spoke somewhat uncertainly:

"After thinking it over, it seems... like pirates?"

"Yes, that's right." Yu Changsheng laughed heartily, nodding decisively.

"Master, you're right, it's pirates. The sea is all ocean, and the sea area is vast. It's difficult to patrol the sea because of its boundless expanse, so the special profession of pirates has emerged. They are mostly composed of various independent cultivators without sects or forces."

"They make their living by plundering other passing merchant ships and small islands for support. The cultivation levels of pirates vary, but most are at most at the Golden Core level, and a small number are at the Purple Mansion level. As for those who are higher, they are generally respected wherever they go because of their outstanding status. There is absolutely no need for them to become pirates, a profession that is discriminated against and risky."

"so……"

Old Wei nodded, listening quietly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, his heart already at peace.

"So you mean...?"

"Hehe," Yu Changsheng chuckled, raised an eyebrow, and said calmly, "My meaning is already very clear. That is to say, pirates themselves can also be used as a kind of human resource, and since they have no other forces supporting them, we can capture them and use them as miners on Lingkuang Island."

"The pirates in this area are already universally hated and reviled. This is a way to let them turn over a new leaf, clean up the scourge of the region, and benefit others. Over the years, the pirates in this area have been rampant and no one has stopped them. This has only led to more tragedies. It's time to thoroughly clean them up."

Piracy is a frustrating and troublesome profession in the North Sea, but Yu Changsheng has a different expectation for it now.

"So why don't we kill two birds with one stone? We can capture pirates and use them as labor on the mining island. Since they like to burn, kill, and plunder, let's reform them properly. Even if we exploit these people, outsiders won't say anything. They'll just feel proud and praise us. It's all reasonable."

Yu Changsheng laughed heartily, his eyes growing brighter as he spoke. He pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, swallowed quietly, and continued:

"As for the pirates we encounter in the North Sea, there are basically no organizations with the Nascent Soul True Venerable level. Below the Second Nascent Soul level, ordinary Purple Mansion or Golden Core pirate groups are not a threat to us. Even though the quota given on Phosphate Mine Island this time is relatively large, as long as we can bring over a few more Purple Mansion pirates, it will be more than enough to complete the quota before the end of the year."

"After all, a Purple Mansion cultivator can mine dozens of times more per day than a Golden Core cultivator."

After Yu Changsheng finished speaking, he coughed lightly twice and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Elder Wei with a bright and alert expression, waiting for him to speak.

"If you put it that way..."

Old Wei was initially taken aback, but then, seeing Yu Changsheng's confident demeanor, he fell into deep thought. After a long while, his eyes lit up, he exhaled a deep breath, nodded, and said:

"What you said makes a lot of sense and seems feasible. If we can capture enough pirates to serve as labor, then we can perfectly solve our current problem. Indeed, in the North Sea today, there are very few pirate groups that are truly organized by the Nascent Soul stage. Apart from that, which we should avoid, the others don't seem to be a problem."

"We don't need a lot. As long as we can capture two pirate groups of the same size as the previous demonic pirate group to act as miners, then our target will be achieved very smoothly and easily."

After speaking, Old Wei couldn't help but stroke his beard, a smile appearing in his eyes, and nodded.

"Your idea is good, but it might be a bit difficult to implement. In a year, we might not be able to catch that many pirates on our own."

Old Wei couldn't help but add, expressing his concerns.

"With such a vast sea area in the North Sea, there must be many pirates. We can first organize people to disguise themselves as merchant ships carrying goods and go to some sea areas where pirates frequently roam to lure them out, and then slowly infiltrate them."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and then chuckled.

"Playing dumb to lure them out, letting them jump out and fish for you, right?"

Old Wei pondered for a moment, gave Yu Changsheng a strange look, then shook his head, and then nodded:

"This method might work in the early stages, but once they become more vigilant, they won't be so easily fooled."

"In the end," Old Wei paused, then slowly said, "we're just two people. Even if we come up with such a solution, efficiency becomes a problem when it comes to implementing it."

"This is really not a good solution..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng's face showed a hint of difficulty, and he hesitated.

"...How about this," Old Wei thought for a moment, then took a deep breath to calm himself, and said, "Actually, we're not entirely without connections in the North Sea. We do have some people who can help us."

"Um?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, narrowed his eyes, and hesitated, "Master, are you talking about Uncle-Master Chen Wencai? Let's forget about him. It would be too much for a Nascent Soul cultivator to do all this. It's more convenient for us to do it."

"What are you thinking about?" Old Wei glared at Yu Changsheng, shook his head in annoyance, but then suddenly sighed softly, "Although I am a close friend of your Uncle Chen, I certainly wouldn't refuse if I asked. However, it's very obvious that someone on Haikuotian Island is deliberately targeting and making things difficult for us."

"Whether it's the Seventh Holy Decree, Wang Sheng, Elder Wang Donghai, or anyone else, it's not convenient for us to drag your Uncle Chen into this mess and cause him trouble. He has already been more than kind to us. From now on, let's rely on ourselves as much as possible."

Old Wei sighed softly.

Yu Changsheng nodded silently, thought for a moment, and then hesitated before continuing, "Master, who did you say it was? Could it be the miners on the island? Are they just ordinary Golden Core cultivators? Although that's not bad in the North Sea, it would be even harder to explain if they were killed or injured while I was with them."

Based on Yu Changsheng's current prestige on Spirit Mine Island, Yu Changsheng believed that he could command a large following. He was confident that anyone willing to follow him to capture pirates would not be killed. However, did he dare to do so?

If you do this directly, you won't even need to wait for the other party's scheme to succeed. They will go to great lengths to improve your own performance and make things difficult for you. You can also directly label yourself as abusing your power for personal gain, which will be even harder to shake off.

Therefore, in Yu Changsheng's opinion, this matter was absolutely unacceptable and highly unreliable.

These miner disciples on Spirit Mine Island, with the exception of a small number who were exiled as punishment, all came to Spirit Mine Island on missions; they were not the so-called black slave miners.

If the injuries or deaths on Lingkuang Island were due to work or some unexpected reasons, then it would still be understandable. However, if the injuries or deaths were caused by Yu Changsheng's own personal reasons, then for Yu Changsheng, it would be tantamount to jumping into a pit himself.

"So, Master, you can't touch the geology of these miners on the phosphate island. Don't even think about taking them out to sea."

These thoughts flashed through Changsheng's mind. After shaking his head, he said this to Elder Wei with a firm expression.

"What are you thinking? I'm not that stupid. I'm not going to use this bunch of hot-blooded brats who are ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Besides, they're only at the Golden Core stage, so they can't be of much help."

"That's good," Yu Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Elder Wei with a puzzled expression and asked, "If it's neither, then what kind of help are you talking about, Master? We don't know any other forces here, right?"

Yu Changsheng was puzzled, while Elder Wei seemed almost completely at ease, stroking his beard and smiling faintly:

"Although you don't know any powerful figures, have you forgotten your true identity? You brought your entire sect here and migrated to this North Sea region."

Old Wei smiled slightly, glanced at Yu Changsheng, and couldn't help but stick out his index finger and rub it against Yu Changsheng's nose. His smile was radiant, and his expression carried a hint of dazedness and smugness.

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

"The Myriad Manifestations Sect is our foundation, our home. Although we are just a small, barbarian sect in the Myriad Manifestations Sect, we still have some foundation."

"what?"

Yu Changsheng was suddenly taken aback, scratched his head in surprise, chuckled, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he said awkwardly:

"Master, please stop joking. Don't you know the situation in our Myriad Realms? Sending some of our disciples who haven't even matured yet to go out to sea with us to catch pirates? Isn't that too risky?"

"Who said I was a disciple?"

Old Wei glared at Yu Changsheng, blew on his beard, and said somewhat angrily:

"Would I betray my own disciples? I said it's definitely reliable. Only Purple Mansion cultivators can participate in this operation and be of any use. Golden Core cultivators are out of the question."

"Uh." Yu Changsheng was speechless for a moment, his lips twitched slightly, he waved his hand and said with a pout, "Alright, Master, what great use are those two Purple Mansion cultivators in our family? It's better to let them stay and guard Wanxiang Island to prevent any accidents from happening."

"Who told you there are only two Purple Mansions?"

Elder Wei was somewhat angry. He glared at Yu Changsheng and said irritably, "Our Wanxiang Sect is a sect that has been passed down for thousands of years. We have even produced Nascent Soul experts. Even if we have declined, it is not as bad as you make it out to be."

"what?"

Yu Changsheng felt ashamed, but then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Elder Wei with some anticipation: "Master, what do you mean?"

In Yu Changsheng's memory, the only visible Purple Mansion members of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, not counting Elder Wei himself, were Lu Ruikai's master, Ruan Hao, and his own Supreme Elder Yuan Menghua of the Sword Control Peak.

Two Purple Mansion cultivators were clearly not enough.

"You may not know this, but our Myriad Manifestations Sect has actually gained several more Purple Mansion True Monarchs these days."

Old Wei spoke slowly, a slight smile on his face, a hint of smugness in his expression.

"Yeah?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then a smile involuntarily appeared on his face as he stared intently at Elder Wei: "Master, please tell me quickly, what happened?"

"Do you really think that my decision to relocate the Juzhong region, and even move 800 li of territory to the North Sea, was just a spur-of-the-moment decision?"

Elder Wei laughed and explained, "With the help of the vast spiritual energy of the North Sea and the collision of the rules of the two regions, the laws of heaven and earth have become more perfect, nourishing my Myriad Manifestations Sect. During this period, quite a few people in my Myriad Manifestations Sect have broken through in their cultivation."

"Among them, the peak masters of each peak had already reached the peak of the Golden Core realm. After the changes and stimulation of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, coupled with a better environment, it is only natural for them to break through to the Purple Mansion realm."

"So?" Yu Changsheng asked tentatively.

"So the actual number of Purple Mansion cultivators in our Myriad Manifestations Sect is not two, but eight." Elder Wei smiled, his smile undisguised.

"Eight Purple Mansions?"

Yu Changsheng was stunned and taken aback. Even though he was somewhat prepared, he was still shocked.

"Of course. Would I lie to you?"

Old Wei laughed heartily and nodded: "Including Ruan Hao and Yuan Menghua, whom you know, those who later broke through to the Purple Mansion realm include the Peak Master of the Sword Control Peak, who is also the Vice Sect Master Lu Ruikai, the Sect Master Zheng Tianheng, and our Beast Control Peak Master Mo Pengcheng..."

"The other three peak masters are also here. This is only the current situation. Judging from this, it won't be long before some elders are also close to breaking through to the Purple Mansion realm."

"I see. If that's the case, then that's wonderful."

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then became somewhat excited and grinned.

"Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune; those who survive a catastrophe are reborn from the ashes."

Old Wei pondered for a moment and then uttered sixteen words.

"Our Myriad Manifestations Sect, having weathered numerous storms and trials in the Southern Region, should now recuperate, conserve its strength, and seize the opportunity to rise again." (End of Chapter)
