Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Actually, we want to kill more pirates and bandits, but it is not easy to find these cunning people in this vast ocean."

"Therefore, I intend to travel with the captain, using him as bait. If any pirates appear, we will strike and eliminate them!"

Li Zixin finally understood Yu Changsheng's meaning and was overjoyed.

He was still hesitant about whether to continue after this incident.

You might get lucky once and escape it, but you might not get a second chance.

However, if they went back like this, they would definitely suffer heavy losses, so they were still considering whether to spend a lot of money to hire Yu Changsheng and others as guards.

Since Yu Changsheng has already made the suggestion without us even having to say anything, it must be perfect.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say is fine as long as Deacon Yu is willing!"

"I am willing to bear all your food, clothing and other expenses during this period, and I am also willing to offer you a full amount of money as a gift after the matter is completed."

After reaching an agreement, Yu Changsheng began to tally up his gains.

After all, there were over a hundred pirates, plus a powerful figure at the Purple Mansion True Monarch level, and the loot they had robbed, so Yu Changsheng accepted it all with a smile.

Lu Sandao watched helplessly as his belongings were taken away, unable to do anything about it.

He was simply outmatched in skill, and in front of Yu Changsheng, he appeared quite docile.

As for the pirates, they were in a terrible situation; the things they risked their lives to steal were lost in an instant.

Yu Changsheng selected some materials for the pills he needed to tame his beasts from Lu Sandao's storage bag.

As for the other storage bags, they were all distributed among the other sect's Purple Mansion True Monarchs. They shouldn't have come to help him kill the pirates for nothing.

And those pirate ships also contained quite a lot of things.

Although most of the items were daily necessities, they still managed to gather several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, enough for the sect to use for a period of time.

For the next few days, Yu Changsheng remained hidden on the merchant ship, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

Li Zixin was also treated to the best food and lodging, with all the best amenities on the ship.

During this time, they encountered another pirate raid on their fleet.

Furthermore, this fleet is even stronger than Lu Sandao's group, with three powerful figures at the Purple Mansion True Monarch level.

However, under the combined might of Yu Changsheng's beast taming and the combined might of several other Myriad Manifestations Sect Purple Mansion True Monarchs, the pirates were no match at all.

In the end, of the three Purple Mansion True Monarchs, Yu Changsheng captured two and killed one.

Other pirates also captured more than 300 people, greatly replenishing the manpower in the mine.

Li Zixin stood at the bow of the boat.

My feelings at this moment are quite complicated.

On the one hand, this behavior is indeed dancing on the edge of a knife, and although he acknowledges the strength of Yu Changsheng and others.

In just a few days, Yu Changsheng has killed so many pirates and captured so many others; he is indeed remarkable.

But there are so many pirates at sea, and he worried that over time Yu Changsheng might also encounter enemies he couldn't handle.

On the other hand, with Yu Changsheng and others around, he no longer felt nervous and only needed to do his job well.

Yu Changsheng even gave him some useless cargo from the pirate ships as compensation, allowing him to make a fortune.

This tense and exciting life left Li Zixin somewhat on edge, and he often talked to himself.

Yu Changsheng has also been busy these past few days, using the materials he obtained last time to refine pills.

Inside the room, flames flickered, radiating intense heat.

Yu Changsheng patted his storage bag, and many precious medicinal herbs leaped out and fell into the alchemy furnace.

After Yu Changsheng's skillful operation, the room was immediately filled with a refreshing medicinal fragrance, which was intoxicating and caused a commotion outside.

Yu Changsheng couldn't care less about that. He started to stabilize the flames, control the heat, and complete the final stage of refining.

Before long, the refining was finally completed, and several crimson pills slowly emerged, emitting a strange luster that caught Yu Changsheng's eye.

The pills refined this time were of exceptional quality.

It can only be said that as Yu Changsheng refined medicine more and more times, his proficiency also increased, and he began to become more and more adept at it.

It will also be of great help to Yu Changsheng in his attempt to reach the next level of alchemy.

This time, Yu Changsheng also refined the Red Spirit Beast Pill to help his tamed beasts improve their strength.

Unfortunately, there were only three pills. Yu Changsheng planned to temporarily provide all the pills to one of his beast tamers to prevent them from fighting over them.

After much deliberation, Yu Changsheng decided to feed him all the pills.

Because last time, Yu Changsheng supplied all the pills to the Golden-Winged Roc and the Colorful Star Deer.

The two beasts' strength had already broken through to the late stage, and it was difficult for them to improve further for the time being.

The Crimson Purgatory Dragon was the first beast to break through to the fourth rank, besides the Xuan Turtle. After that, Yu Changsheng stopped feeding it resources.

Based on the principles of fairness and impartiality, Yu Changsheng naturally had to consider its feelings.

Yu Changsheng immediately released the Crimson Hell Dragon onto the sea surface. The appearance of the enormous Crimson Hell Dragon immediately startled and terrified all the crew members.

They breathed a sigh of relief after learning that it was Yu Changsheng's tamed beast.

Yu Changsheng then fed all the pills to the Crimson Hell Dragon.

[After consuming three fourth-tier Red Spirit Beast Pills, successfully feeding them to the Crimson Hell Dragon, the Crimson Hell Dragon's physical strength, spiritual depth, and cultivation level have been improved to a certain extent!]

[Reward: 300000 Essence Points!]

"The gains this time were still too small. It seems that it will be difficult to further improve the strength of the Crimson Hell Dragon."

"However, if I wipe out a few more large Demon Show pirate groups at sea, I might be able to gather the breakthrough materials needed for the Crimson Hell Dragon."

"Breaking through to the fifth tier of spirit beasts is indeed too difficult."

At this moment, several other Purple Mansion True Monarchs from the Myriad Manifestations Sect also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

"Chang Sheng, you've made quite a fuss about this."

"I thought it was an enemy attack, so I immediately came out to provide support."

"However, this Crimson Hell Dragon is indeed impressive, more than enough to serve as the face of my Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"Hehe, what an extremely rare spirit beast, it makes one extremely envious."

Several True Monarchs of the Myriad Manifestations Sect lavished praise on the Crimson Hell Dragon, which roared to the sky in response.

"Chang Sheng, I smell a strange fragrance. What are you doing?"

Several True Monarchs of the Myriad Manifestations Sect were also very curious and looked at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng smiled helplessly and could only say:

"I'm just refining some pills for the Crimson Hell Dragon to increase its cultivation."

Everyone then realized what was happening and could only manage a wry smile.

"Alchemists have it good to feed such precious pills to their spirit beasts. Even we Purple Mansion True Monarchs probably don't have many opportunities to taste them."

"It seems that this Crimson Hell Dragon is really lucky to have such a good master as you."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yu Changsheng noticed that the Purple Mansion True Monarchs who had transported the pirates earlier had also returned, leaving only one person to guard the pirates in the mine.

Those demonic pirates at the Purple Mansion True Monarch level were all placed under special restrictions, and their cultivation levels were also partially limited.

Therefore, leaving one Purple Mansion True Lord to guard it is more than enough.

"Chang Sheng, what's our next goal? Are we just going to continue waiting for an opportunity on this merchant ship?"

"Yes, but after the previous two ambushes, I doubt those pirates will dare to attack merchant ships so easily."

"If they really come, they will probably be a formidable force, and we may not be their match."

"Do we need to revise the plan?"

Yu Changsheng also fell into thought about the suggestions made by the several Purple Mansion True Lords.

What they said made some sense; after all, the pirates in this sea weren't fools.

Two pirate groups in the vicinity disappeared one after another, while a merchant ship safely sailed to this location.

Even an idiot could tell that there must be experts on board the merchant ship, and no pirate would easily attack it before figuring out the situation.

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

Continuing to wait might just be a waste of time.

Seeing this, Yu Changsheng slowly nodded, "Indeed, what you all say is correct. We should think of a way to deal with it."

"It seems that only by taking the initiative can we find an opportunity."

Yin Tianba of Ba Dao Peak said, "However, those pirate groups with fixed strongholds are also extremely powerful."

"There might be several, or even a dozen, True Monarchs of the Purple Mansion; we might not be their match."

"The roaming pirate group is relatively weak, but its location is unpredictable, making it difficult to find its traces."

Yu Changsheng frowned, and after a moment's thought, suggested:

"In that case, let's gather enough intelligence first."

"Didn't we capture two pirate groups before, with quite a few Purple Mansion True Monarch pirates? We got some information about pirate groups with fixed strongholds from them."

"Choose a suitable pirate crew from among them as a target."

Several Purple Mansion True Lords nodded in agreement, acknowledging that this matter was indeed of utmost importance and that intelligence played a crucial role.

Yu Changsheng immediately released a communication jade slip, instructing Elder Wei and the remaining Purple Mansion True Monarchs to interrogate the three Purple Mansion True Monarch pirates and extract some useful information.

Not long after, news came back from Elder Wei and his team.

Yu Changsheng immediately shared the information with the other Purple Mansion True Monarchs.

On this sea, Lu Sandao and his group were merely the weakest of the pirates.

Powerful pirate groups, such as the Hundred Beasts Pirates, even possess more than a dozen experts at the Purple Mansion True Monarch level.

There are even figures associated with Nascent Soul level Venerables behind them, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

These pirate crews with fixed camps must have something to rely on to dare to expose their strongholds and not be afraid of being surrounded and attacked.

If Yu Changsheng and his group were to launch a surprise attack on these forces rashly, even if they were to win, they would suffer heavy losses.

Everything in the Myriad Manifestations Sect is progressing in a positive direction, but the number of Purple Mansion True Monarchs remains limited.

The sect cannot afford to lose a single one, so it is absolutely unacceptable to rashly attack these powerful strongholds.

Several True Lords of the Purple Mansion fell silent after hearing this, as this matter did not seem to be so easy to resolve.

Yu Changsheng had already anticipated this. "However, Lu Sandao still gave us some useful information!"

Several Purple Mansion True Lords immediately perked up and listened attentively.

"These nomadic pirate crews are weak. But they can't stay adrift at sea forever; they need a place to settle down."

"Besides, a group of grown men who can't get their hands on a woman will cause trouble."

Several Purple Mansion True Lords immediately realized what was happening.

"So, these small pirate crews also have a fixed base?"

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right! Unlike those large, fixed strongholds, the strongholds of these small pirate groups are constantly shifting."

"They will change their location depending on the situation, and only the pirates themselves know the exact location."

"By going to those strongholds, we can find out the whereabouts of many small pirate groups! This will make it easier for us to take action."

Several Purple Mansion True Lords' eyes lit up; they all had hope.

"Heh, Lu Sandao really doesn't hesitate to betray his own kind."

"Hmph, aren't these pirates just like that? They're only after profit, afraid of death, and have no integrity whatsoever."

"However, this does present us with an opportunity. If it's indeed true, we can give it a try!"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "The reason Lu Sandao revealed such important information is that he hopes to redeem himself and gain our trust."

"Moreover, Lu Sandao wanted to personally lead us to the stronghold. After all, only pirates could approach such a place."

"Lu Sandao suggested that we temporarily release his pirate crew, lead them to their stronghold, and infiltrate them."

Yin Tianba, however, felt it was inappropriate, because he simply didn't trust these pirates.

"What if he's using this opportunity to use the other pirates at that stronghold against us, thus escaping?"

Yu Changsheng had naturally considered this concern beforehand. He couldn't possibly obey Lu Sandao's every word and had always been on guard.

"I've thought of that too, so Lu Sandao must always be under our control. If anything changes, we must immediately kill him as a threat."

"That Lu Sandao is a man who can recognize the situation. As long as we give him enough benefits and use both kindness and force, he shouldn't betray us easily."

"As for risks, there are definitely some. But how can you do something like this without any danger?"

"Elders and peak masters, let's discuss this matter."

After a brief discussion, the Purple Mansion True Lords all nodded in agreement, and Yin Tianba, after some hesitation, could only agree to participate.

A few days later, a True Lord of the Purple Mansion who had gone back to meet him earlier reunited with Lu Sandao and his pirate ship and merchant ship.

Yu Changsheng had already explained the situation to Li Zixin, asking him to slow down and wait.

They also indicated that they needed to leave for a while.

He also gave Li Zixin a few options: either leave on his own, or, given the previous two victories in eliminating pirate groups, the merchant ship would be much safer.

Alternatively, they could wait for them in this relatively safe sea area for a few days until they finished dealing with their current matters, after which Yu Changsheng would continue to escort them.

In the end, Li Zixin naturally chose the second option, because he dared not take any more risks. He agreed that he would not leave this sea area as long as Yu Changsheng and the others did not return.

They even increased the pay for Yu Changsheng and the others, worried that they might not return.

Having addressed Li Zixin's concerns, Yu Changsheng and his companions changed into the pirate uniforms of Lu Sandao's men and boarded the pirate ship.

Upon seeing Yu Changsheng, Lu Sandao immediately scrambled over to him, his backside tucked between his legs.

"Boss Yu, when are we leaving?"

Yu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by this sudden address, and frowned as he asked, "Lu Sandao, have you considered the conditions I mentioned before?" (End of Chapter)
