Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Our Myriad Manifestations Sect has finally come out on top. We will reap the rewards of our hard work and rise again."

Hearing Elder Wei's explanation, Yu Changsheng smiled, sighed, and said this.

"Yes, it will be alright."

Old Wei did the same, smiling as he spoke, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes as he looked at Yu Changsheng. Suddenly, he patted Yu Changsheng's shoulder, speaking earnestly and sincerely:

"This is something that has caused you hardship, child."

"what?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, a look of surprise and embarrassment on his face. Meeting Old Wei's earnest gaze, he had no choice but to nod.

"Master, what are you saying? The Myriad Manifestations Sect is like my home. You can even call me family. Yu Changsheng hasn't done anything. What hardship is there?"

Yu Changsheng said softly.

"Hehe." Old Wei chuckled, his smile becoming even more amiable.

"These past years have been tough for you. The sect hasn't been able to help you much; on the contrary..."

Old Wei hesitated, not finishing his sentence, but simply shook his head and smiled.

My heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Myriad Manifestations Sect has stood for thousands of years, experiencing countless ups and downs. Its glorious moment was thanks to that disciple, Cao Jinxian, but alas... Now, perhaps due to some unseen karmic connection, myriad manifestations sect is once again presented with an opportunity for revival?"

Old Wei murmured to himself, a wave of emotion washing over him. He shook his head, exhaled softly, and chuckled:

"Alright, alright, in short, there are quite a few Purple Mansion cultivators in the sect now. We can call them over and let them familiarize themselves with the situation in the North Sea Region."

"Besides, helping to capture pirates also makes things much more efficient."

"What do you think?"

Old Wei asked, seeking Yu Changsheng's opinion.

"If it's the Purple Mansion, then naturally there's no problem."

Yu Changsheng nodded without hesitation. With the help of several Purple Mansion True Monarchs from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, his plan would naturally go much more smoothly.

Just half a month ago, island groups like the Demonic Cultivator Pirate Gang were still a minority. That was because they were deliberately cultivated and supported by someone behind them, which is why they were able to have seven Purple Mansion True Monarchs.

Most pirate groups are led by Golden Core cultivators, and those led by Purple Mansion cultivators are considered quite famous and powerful.

Therefore, with the help of these Purple Mansion True Monarchs from the Myriad Manifestations Sect, Yu Changsheng would naturally be greatly assisted, saving him a lot of trouble. At the same time, there would be no need to worry too much about his safety.

"But looking back, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have wiped out that demonic pirate group back then. Instead, I should have captured them and enslaved them. They can be put to good use now."

"With the help of these seven Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, mining efficiency would be greatly improved, and we wouldn't be under such great pressure now."

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng sighed softly with some regret, his eyes filled with melancholy.

"Alright, alright, what's there to regret? Who could have predicted this?"

Old Wei smiled gently, shook his head, and said, half wanting to comfort him, "Besides, alright, he is a demonic cultivator after all, unlike ordinary pirates. It would be against all reason not to kill him. Even if we keep him, he might suddenly have a violent outburst one day, which would not be a good thing for the other miners. He would be too much of a threat."

"Master is right."

Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, then nodded, and the slight regret in his heart vanished.

"Then it's simpler. I'll contact the Purple Mansions of our Myriad Manifestations Sect, leaving two to guard Myriad Manifestations Island, and have the rest hurry over. With the help of these six Purple Mansion True Monarchs, plus the two of us leading the team, we can form a team."

"Dealing with the pirates in the coastal waters shouldn't be a problem. The only issue is that we don't have a clear understanding of the distribution and strength of the pirates in the area."

"Furthermore, some pirates may be backed by powerful forces. If we rashly exterminate their slaves without knowing the facts or the situation, we may invite some unnecessary trouble."

Old Wei smiled and slowly voiced a concern that had been weighing on his mind.

Yu Changsheng's idea was good. Although pirates are universally hated and drift on the seas, they are not as cohesive as sects. They are mostly infighting and are just a collection of interests, but they should not be underestimated.

In particular, both of them knew that some pirate groups were not necessarily formed spontaneously; they were mostly controlled by some force behind the scenes to plunder resources for them.

This is similar to the demonic pirate group on Shangling Mine Island before. They were secretly supported by the Seventh Holy Son Wang Sheng and his family. Over the years, they have robbed a lot of resources for Wang Sheng and committed all sorts of evil deeds.

Such a thing was not something that the Yu family and powerful forces could do openly, so they secretly cultivated this group of pirates to act on their behalf.

This is something that, though it can't be openly discussed, is an unspoken understanding among many forces in the North Sea.

Piracy in the North Sea has a long history. After so many years of development, the profits involved are no longer as coveted as they once were. It is no longer as simple, direct, and brutal as it was in earlier years. Instead, it is now a complex and multifaceted profession that cannot be easily understood.

Some truly large pirate groups are backed and supported by branches of certain forces, which is why they have reached their current status.

The two were not native to the Beihai region, had not been in Beihai for long, had very little contact with this area, and had no relevant information channels.

If it is truly for the sake of longevity, then indiscriminately capturing pirate slaves and using them as miners might not be something anyone can say openly, but secretly it could incite dissatisfaction among some powerful forces and invite trouble.

Pirates who have reached the level of a True Immortal are relatively rare, but they do exist.

This is not in line with Yu Changsheng's cautious nature, so the two of them need to think things through more thoroughly before they can officially take action.

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought. After a moment, he smiled slightly, a faint curve forming at the corner of his mouth, and said somewhat mysteriously, "This is simple; it's just an information gap. It's something we couldn't easily solve before, but now we have a partner, don't we?"

"Since it's a collaboration, it should be about mutual help and support. This can be a good test, and I doubt she'll refuse. After all, it's not a huge deal."

"Partners?"

Old Wei was taken aback, staring at Yu Changsheng in astonishment. After a long while, he suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing what was happening, and said, "You mean that Sixth Saintess, Chen Xueqing?"

"Yes!" Old Wei said with a sigh, letting out a long breath and smiling.

"That's right, indeed. To become the Holy Maiden of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island, Chen Xueqing's background must be extraordinary. Just among her accompanying protectors, there is a Nascent Soul True Venerable on the surface."

"So, with Chen Xueqing's resources and connections, investigating these pirates' resource issues shouldn't be too difficult for her. We don't need to directly use her people, but we can use her information; that's acceptable and shouldn't be a problem."

Old Wei muttered to himself, then chuckled, "Since that's the case, then this problem is easily solved. It's just like a pillow being delivered to someone who's about to fall asleep; everything is just perfect."

"Sure enough, having someone you know there, and knowing more information, is always beneficial."

Yu Changsheng was filled with emotion.

This problem is actually quite difficult for them, but for Chen Xueqing and others who are at a certain level, it is almost nothing, just a matter of information gap.

Thinking this through, Yu Changsheng didn't hesitate. He immediately took out the special communication jade tube that Chen Xueqing had left for him, thought for a moment, organized his thoughts, and sent it to Chen Xueqin.

Meanwhile, on Beast Heaven Island in Shanghai, Chen Xueqing received Yu Changsheng's message almost simultaneously. After obtaining the information, she smiled quietly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a meaningful smile.

"Interesting. He wants to obtain information on the distribution of the pirate resources I possess, as well as some precautions. It seems he has figured out a way to break the deadlock."

"I thought you'd be confused for a long time about the suppression targets that were suddenly added to you by your superiors, and eventually turn to me for help, asking me to help you mediate on this Sea Beast Sky Island... If that's the case, you'll owe me a considerable favor."

Chen Xueqing lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering slightly. She murmured softly, a smile appearing in her eyes, followed by a soft sigh of regret.

"I didn't expect you to have any backbone. Although you also asked me for help, it was only for something as trivial as information... Cooperation? Heh."

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

Chen Xueqing smiled gently, pondered for a moment, then shook her head. She lightly lifted a few strands of hair from her forehead with her slender wrist, revealing a beautiful face with a charming smile and meaningful eyes.

"Alright, this is a small matter, so I'll leave it to you. But it does show that you are a rather meticulous person, and you didn't act rashly. Otherwise, even if you have some strength, if you had offended some pirate groups that you shouldn't have, you would have been in constant trouble. Yu Changsheng... interesting. My interest in you has grown even more."

"And Wang Sheng, it seems your wishful thinking is going to fail again this time."

Chen Xueqing chuckled, thought for a moment, and then sent a message to Yu Changsheng. After a slight hesitation, she sent it to him as well.

Finally, Chen Xueqing thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"These are some of the pirate distribution maps I know of in the coastal waters, as well as some pirate groups that you need to be extra careful of and should not easily provoke. I hope everything goes well for you. Contact me if you need anything."

After doing all this, Chen Xueqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and suppressed her thoughts, no longer wanting to dwell on them.

Chen Xueqing was naturally aware of what was happening on Lingkuang Island, and she had long known about the rising indicators. In her view, this was a secret game of wits between Wang Sheng and Yu Changsheng.

She had been expecting Yu Changsheng to ask her for help, but to her surprise, while he did ask for help, it wasn't what she had hoped for. This left Chen Xueqing feeling somewhat disappointed, and some of her thoughts began to change.

…………

…………

On Lingkuang Island.

"Alright."

Yu Changsheng sensed the information on the communication jade tube with his divine soul, and immediately smiled knowingly, nodding to Elder Wei with a bright smile.

"Chen Xueqing has already sent over the distribution map of the pirates and some information, including the main bases of some common pirates. This has saved us a lot of trouble and made things much more efficient."

"Not bad, that shows some sincerity."

Old Wei nodded, gently stroking his beard, and spoke slowly.

"Hmm." Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, picked up the communication jade tube, edited it, and sent it.

"Thank you for your kind words and assistance, Holy Maiden. I will remember this. If you need any help, please let me know, and I will do my best."

The words were quite direct, expressing gratitude.

Chen Xueqing's reply was also very brief, consisting of only a few words:

"It's nothing, just a small favor. We're business partners."

.........

"Everything is ready except for the final push. We have the information now, but we're missing the right people. Once the peak masters of our Myriad Manifestations Sect arrive in a few days, we can take action."

Old Wei nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

"After a few days of rest and recuperation, we can set off."

"Okay." Yu Changsheng nodded in agreement. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they left it to Elder Wei to organize the mining work on Spirit Mine Island for the day.

Yu Changsheng, after taking a stroll around the Spirit Mine Island and confirming that there were no threats, returned to his attic residence.

"Wang Sheng... Sea Beast Heavenly Island... Although this matter can be resolved smoothly, it has served as a wake-up call for me."

Inside the cultivation room, after Yu Changsheng had opened all the isolation formations, he pondered many things. After a long while, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.

"It seems there are still quite a few people who are dissatisfied with me. Wang Sheng can use his power to suppress me. If I just keep silent and endure it, he will only make things worse. If I really want to break this deadlock, I need to take the initiative and show my value."

"I've been keeping a low profile. Sea Beast Heavenly Island can't be controlled by your Wang Sheng lineage alone. So, if I'm strong enough and can eliminate Wang Sheng with swift and decisive means, then making others take notice of me might not be a bad thing. There might be a turning point."

Yu Changsheng pondered, his mind filled with many thoughts.

He knew in his heart that although Wang Sheng was outstanding among the super forces of Sea Beast Sky Island, he was not irreplaceable.

There must be many who oppose him, and if he can truly kill them with unparalleled skill and swift and decisive action, he can make some people take notice of him and demonstrate his talent and strength.

So, taking over is possible, but there are risks as well as opportunities for wealth. The key is how to make good use of them.

"However, in the end, the prerequisite for being in high spirits is that my own strength is strong enough."

Yu Changsheng pondered: "At my current level, I am at the peak of the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm. Without an opportunity in the short term, it will be difficult for me to break through further. As for trump cards, I still have too few."

"Wang Sheng was right about one thing: my supernatural powers and techniques are still somewhat lacking." (End of Chapter)
