Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Yu Changsheng was also somewhat helpless, realizing that Du Xingcai had never thought of his well-being.

However, he was one of the few people who knew that Yu Changsheng had no intention of letting Li Muling go.

After all, the other end was that cloaked man, and Du Xingcai knew that Yu Changsheng wouldn't dare to keep pretending forever.

Yu Changsheng shook his head. "Can't you look at me more objectively and realistically? Is my character really that bad in your eyes?"

Du Xingcai didn't say anything, but her eyes seemed to be telling Yu Changsheng that this was what she meant.

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to say:

"Sigh, I'm not going. I have more important things to do."

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Du Xingcai followed along with suspicion.

Yu Changsheng had already told Li Muling that he did not plan to attend the victory celebration banquet.

The place he was going to was where those Nascent Soul cultivators were imprisoned.

This place was originally the location within Sanling Town responsible for imprisoning powerful cultivators.

Wang Haitang and the others had been moved to this place by Yu Changsheng before.

Although, the cave was quite well hidden.

But nowadays, far too many people know about it, and it has long lost its secrecy.

Therefore, after Yu Changsheng conquered Sanling Town and dealt with the cultivators of the Xuanyuan family, he immediately transferred them back.

Inside the dungeon.

Yu Changsheng opened the cell door and saw Wang Haitang looking miserable.

Wang Haitang had already been interrogated countless times and had revealed almost everything he knew.

They even revealed quite a few of Wang Donghai's secrets.

All they wanted was a chance to survive. People like Wang Haitang were naturally more afraid of death than ordinary people.

Having finally cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage, how could he be so willing to be killed like this?

Those who can survive will definitely try to find a way to survive.

When Wang Haitang saw Yu Changsheng appear, he immediately pounced on him, but was kicked away by Yu Changsheng.

Even lying in the corner, Wang Haitang still glared at Yu Changsheng with resentment.

I am in this predicament entirely because of the person in front of me.

Compared to Li Muling, he hated the person in front of him even more.

Yu Changsheng didn't take it to heart and laughed, "Lord Wang, it's no use looking at me like that."

"I was just following orders. I have no grudge against you. Why are you doing this?"

Wang Haitang asked, "How much did Chen Pingzhen give you to deal with me?"

Yu Changsheng thought to himself, "Do I still need Chen Pingzhen to give me benefits? If the Wang family hadn't been trying to kill me, would I have needed to fight them to the death?"

Yu Changsheng did not respond, but instead smiled and said:

"Lord Wang, as you know, there was originally no enmity between us. It was only because of the Third Elder's orders that I had no choice but to do this."

"Please forgive me, Lord Wang."

"Please forgive my ass!"

Wang Haitang cursed angrily. If his cultivation hadn't been sealed, he would have killed Yu Changsheng long ago.

Seeing his state, Yu Changsheng knew that a proper conversation was impossible.

So they let the monk who had interrogated Wang Haitang enter the room again and gave him a good talking-to.

Almost two more hours passed, and when Yu Changsheng went in again, he saw Wang Haitang lying on the ground, barely alive.

Yu Changsheng was quite helpless upon seeing this.

"Lord Wang, why are you doing this? I only wanted to ask you a question, and other than that, I have no grudge against you."

Why do you deliberately seek out suffering?

Wang Haitang became much more obedient at this point; he had no choice but to behave himself, or he would be tortured again.

Wang Haitang also understood that he was a prisoner and would not make things difficult for himself.

The person in charge of interrogating Wang Haitang left the cell and nodded slightly to Yu Changsheng, indicating that Wang Haitang had understood.

Yu Changsheng then went inside again.

"Lord Wang, I don't mean anything by it. I just came to ask a question. After I finish asking, I will leave immediately and will definitely not bother you for another moment."

Wang Haitang lowered his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said:

"What do you want to ask?"

Yu Changsheng looked around and dismissed the others before taking out the key he had found when he rescued Wu Qianqian from the cave.

When Wang Haitang saw the key, his eyes widened immediately, and his breathing became heavier.

"How did you get this thing?!"

Upon seeing his reaction, Yu Changsheng was immediately relieved. It seemed that Wang Haitang did indeed know about the key; otherwise, he really wouldn't know who to ask about it.

This key originally belonged to the gang leader, Lu Quan, but then Lu Quan died.

For a while, Yu Changsheng was also completely clueless about this key.

"Hehe, now that Lord Wang knows the origin of this key, things will be much easier."

"I can guarantee that as long as Lord Wang tells me the origin and purpose of this key, I can allow Lord Wang to..."

"Not only will you no longer suffer any more torment, but you will also have good food, drink, and lodging. You will suffer less until the Third Elder comes to decide your fate."

"However, the Third Elder is more likely to make a deal with you and Elder Wang Donghai. In that case, City Lord Wang will naturally be exchanged for you and will be able to keep your life."

"It is extremely difficult to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. I hope Lord Wang won't lose his life because of the secret of this key."

Wang Haitang said, "Hmph! Even if I don't tell you, you wouldn't dare kill me! Just as you said, whether I live or die is up to Chen Pingzhen."

Yu Changsheng's expression turned cold, and the Purple Spirit Emperor Sword suddenly appeared in his hand, landing on Wang Haitang's neck.

"I think Lord Wang's words are a sign he truly has no desire to live. If I kill you now, what do you think the Third Elder will do?"

"At most, they'll just give me a slight reprimand."

"Do you really think your life is that valuable? That you'd kill me for your sake?"

"I'm giving you one last chance. If you speak, I'll spare your life. If you don't, you'll die, and I'll be punished. But the price we pay will be completely different."

Wang Haitang swallowed hard, realizing that Yu Changsheng was serious.

If this guy is unhappy, he really will kill himself.

Wang Haitang gritted his teeth before nodding and saying:

"Alright, I'll tell you, but you must promise to meet those conditions after I tell you. First, I must leave this cell. You can restrict my freedom, but I'm not allowed to stay in the tavern in Sanling Town."

"Other conditions..."

Yu Changsheng raised his hand and said, "Stop. You can discuss your conditions later. As long as they're not too unreasonable, I can agree to them. I can make decisions on these matters, and I won't go back on my word."

"On the condition that the information you give me is true, if you still hide anything from me, don't blame me for turning against you."

Wang Haitang said, "That key is used to open an underground treasure vault."

"Over the years, Fengpiaoge has been secretly raising resources for me."

Yu Changsheng asked, "What resources are we raising?"

Wang Haitang said, "Naturally, it's cultivation resources, resources for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"To break through to the Nascent Soul stage and achieve continuous progress, you need five essential materials. You probably don't know these, do you?"

"The three materials are Refining Void Stone, Black Soul Gold, Spirit Storage Wood, Yin Locust Water, and Purple Yang Fire."

"Moreover, the amount required for each material is extremely staggering."

"Otherwise, why do you think there are so many Nascent Soul cultivators and so few Void Refinement cultivators on Sea Beast Heavenly Island?"

"That's because these breakthrough materials are extremely difficult to obtain and are subject to strict control!"

Hearing Wang Haitang's words, Yu Changsheng finally understood why Wang Haitang could talk about everything else, but was so resistant to the key.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Lord Wang to be so kind as to tell me all this."

"In that case, shouldn't Lord Wang tell me the location of that treasure vault?"

Wang Haitang's hands trembled. He really didn't want to talk, but not talking meant certain death.

He knew he couldn't escape it; once Yu Changsheng found out the location of these things, he would definitely investigate to the end.

"I can tell you where it is. But I have one condition."

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Please speak, Lord Wang."

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

"In that treasure vault, besides the five materials, there is also a Spirit-Seeking Herb. This is what saved my life. Apart from that, you can take everything else inside."

"Oh, the Spirit-Seeking Grass?"

Yu Changsheng was filled with doubt.

"One of my family's offspring suffers from a special disease and needs this Spirit-Seeking Herb for treatment. This herb is of great use to me, but it has little effect on you."

Yu Changsheng asked, "What's so special about this Spirit-Seeking Herb? Please explain, Lord Wang."

Wang Haitang said, "The greatest use of the Spirit-Seeking Grass is that it can be used as a medicinal guide for some special innate spiritual roots."

"A special innate spiritual root? You mean that innate lightning spiritual root?"

Wang Haitang was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Yu Changsheng would know about this.

"That innate lightning spiritual root was originally intended to be used to treat my family's offspring, but who would have thought that Elder Wu would intercept it."

"If it weren't for him, my family's descendants might already be normal people by now."

Yu Changsheng suddenly seemed to know something.

"So, that's why you ordered Elder Wu's granddaughter to be kidnapped? Just to obtain that innate lightning spiritual root?"

Wang Haitang nodded slightly, neither denying it nor denying it.

Yu Changsheng was at a loss for words. He never expected that Wang Haitang would take action against Elder Wu because of this matter.

If it weren't for this time, Yu Changsheng wouldn't be where he is today.

Wang Haitang would not have ended up in his current situation.

"Heh, it really is a matter of timing and fate."

"Very well, I'll leave the Spirit-Seeking Herb to you."

Yu Changsheng also agreed to Wang Haitang's request, and subsequently suffered the following:

"Now, can you tell me where that place is?"

Wang Haitang finally relented and revealed the location of the treasure vault.

Unexpectedly, the treasure vault was located not far from Sanling Town.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's natural to feel more at ease keeping something this important close at hand.

Knowing such important news, Yu Changsheng naturally wanted to verify its authenticity as soon as possible.

However, before that, Yu Changsheng said:

"I will keep this a secret for you, and I hope that Lord Wang will also keep it a secret for me. This is a secret between you and me."

Wang Haitang naturally nodded in agreement. As for whether he would keep it a secret, who could know?

Even if he revealed it later, the item was already in Yu Changsheng's hands.

The problem is, if these things fall into Yu Changsheng's hands, will others covet them?

Elders at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, in particular, would value these things highly.

Therefore, Yu Changsheng said, "I will naturally give you the Spirit-Seeking Herb. However, I must first confirm that City Lord Wang will not reveal this secret. Is that fair?"

Knowing he had no room for negotiation, Wang Haitang naturally agreed.

Having settled this matter, Yu Changsheng immediately left Sanling Town.

They then immediately went to that secret location.

This place is located in a winery, a place that specializes in making spiritual wine.

This was naturally one of the businesses of the city lord's mansion.

The location where a large amount of breakthrough materials are hidden is right beneath this winery.

The way to enter this place is very simple; all you need to do is present a special token.

Yu Changsheng held a strangely shaped stone in his hand, though he didn't know what symbolic meaning it held.

However, according to Wang Haitang, all that is needed is to take out this stone to enter the secret location beneath the winery.

And this thing can't be shown to just anyone; only the manager in charge of this place knows about it.

Upon arriving at the winery, Yu Changsheng immediately stated his intentions.

The guy didn't stop them, since very few people actually come to this place.

These were mostly important people, and the waiter knew he couldn't afford to offend them easily, so he decided to leave it to the manager at most.

Before long, Yu Changsheng met the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a slightly overweight man with a bald head.

Upon seeing Yu Changsheng, the shopkeeper politely inquired:

"May I ask what brings you here to see me?"

Yu Changsheng immediately took out the token and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately understood Yu Changsheng's purpose upon seeing him.

"Does the City Lord have any orders?"

Yu Changsheng said, "As you know, Sanling Town was recently captured. Although the city lord escaped successfully, he is worried about the things here, so he sent me to check."

The shopkeeper nodded slightly in understanding, and then led Yu Changsheng to the hidden location.

This place is located below the cellar where spirit wine is stored.

There was a very hidden passageway here. After walking through the passageway for quite a while, I had no idea where I had arrived.

There was a formation sealing it there.

The shopkeeper used a special item to break the seal on the formation.

They then made way for Yu Changsheng.

Having arrived here, Yu Changsheng was already very familiar with what was to come.

When it came to that strange-looking thing, it was slowly placed on the door.

As the mechanism was deactivated, the gate slowly moved and opened.

The shopkeeper, quite tactfully, turned and left, saying, "I'll wait upstairs."

After the shopkeeper walked away, Yu Changsheng stepped inside.

Beyond the stone gate, countless gleaming porcelain bottles and treasure boxes shone brightly, enveloped in an aura of celestial energy. (End of Chapter)
