Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

After leaving this place, Yu Changsheng told Lu Erhu to go back temporarily.

He then returned to the inn.

Inside a large courtyard, several cultivators escorted an old man as they slowly approached the center of the courtyard.

The man was dressed in a gray-white robe, with white hair and beard. He leaned on a cane and walked forward step by step, making a "dudu" sound.

After arriving at the center of the courtyard, the old man sat down on a stone chair to rest.

Several guards stood watch beside him.

Before long, the old man in white robes, accompanied by his granddaughter, came to greet them.

The old man in white robes chuckled and said:

"Hehe, I didn't expect Elder Qiao to arrive so early. I've been waiting."

The old man who was sitting slowly stood up and smiled:

"Mr. Wu, you're too kind. I just arrived, so it's not early at all."

This person was none other than Qiao Lin, one of the three outstanding figures of Sanling Town and a master alchemist.

This Qiao Lin is not only a first-rate alchemist, but also possesses superb medical skills, making him famous throughout the town of Sanling.

The old man in white robes had specially invited this person to this place today.

The old man in white robes said, "Please, let's go inside first. This isn't the place to talk."

Qiao Lin nodded slightly and, leaning on his cane, entered the house side by side with the white-robed old man.

The girl obediently followed behind the two.

After entering the house, the two took their seats one after the other.

Qiao Lin looked at the obedient girl in front of him and asked:

"This girl must be Wu Qianqian. She is indeed elegant and beautiful."

The girl blushed slightly, but still whispered, "Thank you for your praise, Grandpa Qiao."

The old man in white robes said, "Elder Qiao, the reason I invited you here this time is also for my granddaughter."

The old man in white robes beckoned, signaling Wu Qianqian to come closer to the two of them.

"Mr. Qiao, you should have known about my granddaughter's situation long ago."

Qiao Lin naturally knew that the Wu family elder of the ancient Wu family had a granddaughter. When her mother was pregnant, a master had already seen that the fetus in her womb had a congenital holy-grade spiritual root and unlimited future talent.

However, due to an accident, Wu Qianqian's mother died unexpectedly, and the fetus in her womb was also in grave danger.

Left with no other choice, the white-robed elder had to invite several experts to use their secret techniques to take the fetus down.

What made the white-robed elder despair was that because the fetus was born too prematurely, the spiritual root that should have been slowly developing was also destroyed.

Although the wealth of the ancient Wu family could ensure that this granddaughter would have no worries about food and clothing and would never have to set foot in the world of cultivation.

But the old man in white robes could never get over this hurdle in his heart.

He should have been the most outstanding genius in the Wu family, and perhaps even a super expert.

But now he has become an ordinary person. Such a drop in status is unacceptable to anyone.

Therefore, the white-robed elder has been searching for ways to restore a person's spiritual roots for many years.

Or a way to enable ordinary mortals to cultivate.

But such a treasure that can defy fate is not so easy to find.

The old man in white robes visited many ancient families and even some reclusive sects.

But people either keep these things for their own use or hide them away for future needs.

How could it possibly be given to an outsider? Even if the old man in white robes offered an exorbitant price, it wouldn't be worth it.

After more than a decade of searching, we have finally found a glimmer of hope today.

It is that extremely rare innate lightning spiritual root!

With this item, even mortals can have the opportunity to cultivate.

But how could a mortal possibly unleash even a fraction of the power of this innate lightning spiritual root?

Only someone like Wu Qianqian, who should have been an unparalleled genius but unexpectedly lost her spiritual root, could fully unleash the original power of this innate lightning spiritual root.

Qiao Lin said, "Of course I am aware of this matter."

"Could it be that Elder Wu really intends to transplant this Thunder Spirit Root into Wu Qianqian's body?"

"You should know that once this lightning spirit root is fused, it cannot be taken out again, and whether one can adapt to it is also an unknown."

"Besides, even if the transplant and adaptation are successful, the external object is not something one is born with."

"In practice, it's impossible for it to be as suitable as one's own spiritual root."

"The best way, of course, is to use some supernatural means to allow Wu Qianqian's already depleted spiritual root to recover on its own."

Old Wu sighed and nodded.

He was naturally aware of these issues as well.

After all, back then, he had consulted numerous renowned doctors for his granddaughter's sake, all in an effort to find a solution.

So I've learned quite a bit about these methods.

Besides Qiao Lin's two methods, there are other methods as well.

However, each of these methods has extremely serious consequences, and the chances of success are not high.

The only relatively reliable method is transplanting spiritual roots.

Old Wu sighed, "Of course I know all this, but such methods are not so easy to find."

"Perhaps it will take hundreds or thousands of years for such an opportunity to come."

"Therefore, I had long given up hope. The only and best way is to transplant a spiritual root, and even more so, a rare spiritual root like the lightning spiritual root."

"This is truly the best opportunity that God has given to Qianqian."

Wu Qianqian stood aside, listening to the two elderly people talking, feeling quite uneasy.

She didn't know what she was about to face, she only knew that enabling her to cultivate had always been her grandfather's lifelong dream.

Therefore, she herself very much hopes to be able to cultivate one day, but she is also worried about this matter from the bottom of her heart.

"Mr. Qiao, my mind is made up. Now that I've come this far, there's no going back."

Qiao Lin nodded and said, "Alright, since Elder Wu has already said so, I naturally won't refuse."

"I need some time to prepare. This matter of transplanting spiritual roots cannot be taken lightly; we must be fully prepared."

"Moreover, Wu Qianqian herself also needs to be prepared."

"Both Wu Qianqian and I must give it our all in this step."

Old Wu looked at his granddaughter beside him, his eyes filled with doting affection and expectation, and nodded in agreement.

"Be careful, this time we must succeed!"

evening.

Yu Changsheng found Lin Hao and asked:

"Do you have anything planned for tonight, senior?"

During the time Yu Changsheng was away, Lin Hao had been cultivating in seclusion.

She didn't react much after sensing Yu Changsheng's return.

Seeing that Yu Changsheng had taken the initiative to ask him questions, Lin Hao slowly opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Yu Changsheng smiled and said, "This junior plans to keep an appointment outside the city tonight. I wonder if you would be willing to lend a hand, senior?"

Lin Hao said calmly, "So you're scared now?"

Yu Changsheng said, "I always try to play it safe and never make a move unless absolutely necessary. I intended to do the same this time."

"However, this time we have the protection of a senior, and it might be a good opportunity to find out who is behind it all, and we might even get help from others."

"If you miss this opportunity, you might not have such a good chance next time."

Lin Hao asked, puzzled, "What are you up to now?"

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "That Manager Wang has been eyeing us covetously. Unless we change our appearance and leave this place, we definitely can't escape him."

"Therefore, I also want to find an opportunity to eliminate it and prevent future troubles."

"And Xie Quanling, one of the four major families, has also come to see me for some reason. Since all these people are rushing to see me, why not meet them all together?"

Lin Hao was increasingly confused about what Yu Changsheng was doing.

He's attracting more and more attention, and even though he's not using his real identity right now, he's gone a bit too far.

"You should know that although this art of disguise is convenient, it is not without traces. For some powerful and influential families, it is not impossible for them to find you."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "I have heard of this before, but this time it was not me who caused trouble, but the other party who came to me."

"Since that's the case, I can't refuse. Why not take this opportunity to meet him?"

"We asked you to come along this time, just to be on the safe side."

Lin Hao closed his eyes again. "Just call me when you need me."

When Yu Changsheng saw that Lin Hao had finally agreed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

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

Fortunately, Lin Hao was with him, and with such a skilled protector, Yu Changsheng was able to relax a lot.

Night falls.

Outside Sanling Town.

Yu Changsheng and Lin Hao stood side by side, facing the auction venue.

This place appears to be a large attic built in the suburbs, surrounded by bright lights, which has formed a small street.

Both sides of the street were lined with various shops selling all sorts of things.

There were quite a few people browsing around, buying and selling all sorts of things.

Yu Changsheng looked around but did not see Xie Quanling.

That makes sense, though. People from these four great families would never show up so early; they would arrive at the very last minute.

Yu Changsheng was already used to this.

Many people have been waiting in front of the attic for a long time, but the door is not open yet, and there is no definite start time.

Some people arrived very early, but there's still no sign of it opening, and they're getting impatient.

"Hey, why hasn't the auction started yet!"

"Are you trying to make a fool of us?"

"At least let us in and wait a bit! What kind of situation is this?"

"Who on earth organized this auction? They have absolutely no sense of etiquette."

Although the noise outside was getting louder and louder, there was still no sound inside the attic.

Lin Hao said:

"I've never heard of any auctions here before, especially not ones that are specifically scheduled to coincide with the start of auctions in the city."

"Something just doesn't feel right."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Senior, do you mean there might be danger here?"

Lin Hao said, "Is there danger? Even if the auction itself is not dangerous, Manager Wang is still in danger."

"He won't miss such a good opportunity. You should stay by my side as much as possible."

Yu Changsheng knew this, of course, and nodded slightly.

While the two waited outside, they were unaware that someone in the crowd was watching them from time to time.

One vendor gathered up the trash from his stall, picked up the bag, and turned to leave, leaving two other people to watch over the stall.

The vendor then went to a corner and secretly sent out a talisman.

at the same time.

Behind a hillside.

Several monks dressed in black had already been lying in ambush here.

At that moment, a talisman flew swiftly across the sky and landed in the hand of one of them.

"Boss, we've received word that they've arrived."

"Alright! We can announce the start of the auction now and let them proceed as planned."

now.

Nearly a hundred people had gathered at the pavilion, all there to attend the auction.

After all, some people had come away empty-handed at the city's auction and were still seething with anger, which they were now eager to vent.

As the wait grew longer, more and more people became impatient, shouting at the door of the attic, urging the person inside to open it and let them in.

"Let me in right now, or I'll smash up this lousy building."

"Exactly, they're making such a big deal out of a lousy auction."

"Which bastard is hiding inside and won't come out?"

"Open the door quickly and let the old man in."

"Brothers, I think we should just deposit the money directly!"

"Exactly, if we keep waiting like this, how long will we have to wait?"

Suddenly, the attic creaked and groaned, and the door was finally opened.

Two tall men walked out.

The man on the left said calmly, "That person said he was going to smash up our attic? Step forward."

A hush fell over the room, but one man stepped forward and said:

"What's wrong with what I said? Why won't you open the door? What's the meaning of this?"

The man on the left didn't waste any words and took a picture, hitting the man in the chest.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the man was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, almost losing consciousness.

The aura emanating from the man on the left...

This also made everyone present realize that this person was clearly a Nascent Soul cultivator with terrifying strength.

The person on the right, even without revealing their aura, is probably similar to the person on the left; both are Nascent Soul cultivators.

With two Nascent Soul cultivators stationed here, it's no wonder the people in this pavilion are so fearless.

Yu Changsheng watched the commotion from a distance and said, "I never expected that there would be two Nascent Soul experts in this small pavilion."

"It seems that the person who started this auction is indeed no ordinary person."

Lin Hao snorted coldly and said, "If you didn't have enough strength, why would you dare to hold an auction in a place like this?"

No one around dared to say another word, otherwise the person who had been knocked away earlier would serve as a warning.

The man on the left said, "Everyone, please enter now. Anyone who causes trouble will be killed!"

No one dared to speak, and they entered the pavilion one after another.

However, just after the number reached fifty people.

The person on the left suddenly shouted, "Alright, everyone else can go back now."

"What? We can go back now?"

"What does this mean? Are they only letting this many people in?"

"Are we just going to wait outside for nothing?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Couldn't a few more people go in? They're about to take my picture!" (End of Chapter)
