Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Yu Changsheng was also somewhat troubled. Of all the places to vie for, why did he have to set his sights on this one?

"You're really asking for trouble by attacking City Lord Li Muling's shop within the territory of Sanling Town."

Du Xingcai said, "With your abilities, how could this be difficult for you? Hurry up and think of a solution."

Yu Changsheng sighed and looked around. The area was too crowded with people.

Taking action here would inevitably cause unrest in the surrounding area.

At that time, the several Nascent Soul cultivators stationed in this city will definitely surround and block us immediately, which would be dangerous.

"How is it? Is there any way?" Du Xingcai urged again from the side.

Yu Changsheng said, "It's not that simple. This place is located in the center of Sanling Town, and it's so close to the City Lord's Mansion."

"If we really have to take action here, with so many people watching, the Nascent Soul cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion will definitely be able to come to our aid immediately."

"Therefore, forcing a move is definitely not an option."

Du Xingcai nodded repeatedly, "Then what should we do?"

Yu Changsheng looked around and said, "Let's go in and take a look first."

"After all, Lord Li's shop has just opened, so we should go and support him."

The two then went directly into the shop.

Soon, a staff member at the front desk came forward to greet me.

After clearly seeing the two people's faces, the shop assistant immediately said:

"Oh my, I didn't expect it to be you two esteemed gentlemen. Please come in quickly."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly and asked, "I heard that you just opened here and have a lot of high-quality materials for sale."

"Lord Li and I are old acquaintances, so he should come and show his support."

The shop assistant smiled and said, "Hehe, it's an honor to have two distinguished guests in our shop. May I ask what you'd like to buy?"

Yu Changsheng asked, "Do you have any materials here that possess dark attributes?"

"Dark attribute materials? This type of material is indeed rare. Please allow me to investigate."

"Okay, go ahead."

Yu Changsheng wasn't in a hurry and sat there waiting.

Du Xingcai asked, "What do you need this material for?"

Yu Changsheng explained, "I have a beast tamer, a spirit beast with dark attributes, so I need this kind of material to help it break through."

Du Xingcai said, "I see. Although I don't have this type of material, the Du family does."

"Oh?"

Yu Changsheng's eyes lit up; this type of thing was extremely rare.

Yu Changsheng was also troubled, wondering where he could get it. As long as he saw it, he would take it no matter the cost.

"In that case, how can Miss Du sell it to me?"

Du Xingcai said, "Although this kind of thing is rare, very few people use it. Since you need it, I'll give it to you."

"really?"

Yu Changsheng was also taken aback, not expecting Du Xingcai to be so generous.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever gone back on my word? But there are conditions to giving it to you. You have to take over this place first before I can give it to you."

Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly; as expected, it wasn't that simple.

However, at least it gave Yu Changsheng enough motivation.

At this moment, the shop assistant returned again, looking apologetic:

"I'm sorry, I checked the list and confirmed that there is no such material."

Yu Changsheng didn't really care, since he had other goals anyway.

"It seems difficult for me to buy anything here. However, I can do other business."

So Yu Changsheng also took out some materials.

These were all materials he had obtained before, but which he didn't really need.

They are mostly fourth-tier materials, and the quality is quite good. There are eight types in total.

"Could you estimate the price of these materials?"

Upon seeing this, the shop assistant immediately took all the materials away to get a valuation.

A short while later, the shop assistant came out with a smile and said:

"The total value of these eight materials should be around 3.67 million spirit stones."

Yu Changsheng nodded slightly. The prices of these materials were about the same, but the prices offered by the shop were much cheaper.

If Yu Changsheng were to sell it elsewhere, he might be able to fetch a price of four million spirit stones.

"Hehe, it's a little cheap, but to support Lord Li's business, let's settle on this price."

The shop assistant was overjoyed. He had naturally lowered the price considerably to leave room for Yu Changsheng to negotiate.

Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng didn't even haggle over the price and agreed immediately. This deal is going to be a huge profit.

Soon, fearing that Yu Changsheng might regret his decision, the shop assistant immediately ordered a sufficient amount of spirit stones for him.

After putting away the spirit stones, Yu Changsheng got up and left.

The shop assistant immediately took all the materials to the back and showed them to the owner again.

The owner of this place is a middle-aged man with a bulky build, wearing a robe.

This person is named Li Muliao, and is naturally a member of the Li family. He holds a high position and is trusted by Li Muling, which is why he was appointed to this position.

Li Muling carefully examined the materials with the lens and then put them all back into the box.

"Yes, this is indeed a good product. I wonder who sold it? Selling it to us so cheaply, is there some kind of scam?"

The shop assistant said:

"I recognize the two people who came. One of them is Zhou Wangzhi, and the other is Du Xingcai from the Du family. They said they came to support the clan chief's business."

"So that's how it is."

Upon hearing this reason, Li Muling understood that Zhou Wangzhi was trying to curry favor with Li Muling.

This deal will likely earn at least a million spirit stones, which is quite a lot.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad, you'll definitely get your commission on this deal."

The shop assistant was overjoyed and thanked them profusely.

"Alright, take these materials to the warehouse and keep them safe."

outside.

After Yu Changsheng and his companion left, they went to look around the area around the shop.

Du Xingcai asked, "What are you looking at? Those materials could have sold for at least four million spirit stones, and you sold them even at a low price?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Let's sell it then. We'll get the items back later anyway. Isn't this like getting spirit stones for free?"

Upon hearing this, Du Xingcai immediately understood, "Okay, so how do you plan to get it back?"

Yu Changsheng said, "I've tampered with those spiritual materials. Once the shop assistant puts them together with the other spiritual materials, we can pinpoint the exact location of the shop's treasure vault."

"However, the treasure trove there will certainly be heavily guarded, and there may even be some restrictions, so it is obviously unlikely to be taken by force."

"The best way is to let them take the things out themselves. Then we can take action."

Du Xingcai grew increasingly curious as she listened. "Take it out yourself? What's your plan?"

Yu Changsheng said, "What's the rush? I haven't decided yet."

Du Xingcai shoved Yu Changsheng in the back and angrily said, "Are you kidding me?"

Yu Changsheng grimaced and rubbed his back. This woman was really ruthless; she almost made him vomit blood.

"Cough cough, be gentle. Are you trying to kill me?"

Du Xingcai realized she had gone a bit too far and, with a hint of apology, still firmly stated, "Who told you to lie to me?"

"What should we do now?"

Yu Changsheng pointed to a carriage road nearby: "I wonder where the goods here come from."

"But it's definitely not just about waiting for two or three people to come to the store to sell each day; there must be a regular supply of goods being delivered."

"We can try searching first, and then try to find a solution along this line."

The latest chapter of this novel is available on the first release page. Please go and read it there!

Du Xingcai agreed, and the two found a secluded spot to wait.

After waiting for two days, Yu Changsheng finally got his target.

In the past two days, only one person went in and did not come out for a long time, clearly not a guest, but someone of another identity.

Du Xingcai also memorized the man's appearance, drew a picture of him, and then gave it to his men to check the man's identity. Sure enough, they found something.

This person was Li Quan, whom Li Muling had trusted greatly before, and who was in charge of some logistical work for the Li family.

Seeing this, he was even more certain of his guess that this person was most likely the one responsible for transporting the spiritual materials sold in the shop.

Yu Changsheng, seizing the opportunity, waited until Li Quan left Sanling Town and immediately led Du Xingcai to ambush him on the road Li Quan was bound to take.

In a mountain stream, Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai hid under several cliffs, using the protruding boulders above for cover.

Just as a figure passed by above, Yu Changsheng and his companion immediately made their move.

He charged straight at the figure.

That person was none other than Li Quan, who was just passing by. He never expected that someone would ambush him here.

He was immediately terrified and turned pale. He was about to flee, but Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai were not about to give him that chance.

They attacked from both the front and the back, leaving Li Quan with absolutely no chance to escape.

They then subdued him.

"Who are you people?"

Soon, Li Quan was pinned to the ground by the two men, and Yu Changsheng swiftly intervened, sealing off the magical power within Li Quan.

They then placed a restriction on him, preventing him from moving freely.

After finishing all this, Yu Changsheng finally asked:

"You're Li Quan?"

Li Quan had never met Yu Changsheng before, so he couldn't recognize Yu Changsheng's voice. The two of them also concealed their faces to prevent direct observation.

Therefore, Li Quan did not see what Yu Changsheng and the other person looked like.

"I have no grudge against you. Are you here to rob me or what?"

Yu Changsheng said, "Nothing much, I just wanted to ask you something: are you really Li Quan?"

"Yes, what needs to be done?"

"Heh, now that you admit it, things are much easier. Do you have any way to access the inventory of Li Muling's newly opened shops in the city?"

Li Quan said, "Are you kidding me? How could I possibly move those things by myself? It must be Li Muling's token that can be used to retrieve these spiritual materials."

Yu Changsheng asked, "Could it be that all these spiritual materials were personally inspected by Li Muling before being released for sale?"

"Does he have the time to manage all this?"

Li Quan said, "After all, it's a newly opened shop, so naturally he'll need to observe it for a while longer."

"As for whether he will watch it again later, I have no idea."

"So, that means you're useless now?"

Li Quan was immediately startled and quickly retreated, saying, "Are you going to kill me?"

Yu Changsheng sneered, "Useless people should naturally be killed. Do you expect me to keep them around for your future revenge?"

Seeing this, Li Quan knew he was in deep trouble and actually started laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, I never thought that I, Li Quan, would die here instead of avenging my great grudge."

"Come on, give me a quick death. I'll take my revenge in my next life."

Yu Changsheng thought that Li Quan was indeed a man of character, and that he was quite extraordinary that he did not kneel down and beg for mercy in this situation.

"What grudge do you hold? Why not tell me? Maybe in the future, I'll be in the mood to avenge you and let you die in peace."

"really?"

"Fine! Since you're willing to help me avenge myself, then I'll die without regrets!"

Yu Changsheng asked, "Alright, who is your enemy?"

Li Quan said solemnly, "Li Muling!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this name, both Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai were taken aback.

"What? Are you scared when you hear Li Muling's name?"

"Are you going to back out and not avenge me?"

Yu Changsheng asked, "What grudge do you have against him? If you have a grudge against him, why are you working for him?"

Li Quan snorted coldly, "If I hadn't gradually gained his trust, how could I have gotten close to him and obtained the opportunity to assassinate him!"

Yu Changsheng temporarily accepted this answer, but still asked with doubt, "Why did you kill him? You should be of the same clan, right? What deep-seated hatred could you possibly have?"

Li Quan angrily retorted, "You seized my wife and murdered my wife and children. Doesn't that count as a deep-seated hatred?"

Du Xingcai's eyes widened in disbelief that Li Muling had actually done such a thing.

"Li Muling killed your wife and children, and you still want to employ you? Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Yu Changsheng began to have doubts.

Li Quan explained:

"Li Muling had no idea that I already knew about this. He had previously coveted my wife's beauty, and during one of my missions, he..."

"He took advantage of the situation to commit indecent acts against my wife, and then murdered my wife and children under the guise of banditry in order to cover up the truth."

"If I hadn't secretly discovered the handwritten note left by my wife, I would never have believed it."

"Tell me, should Li Muling have been killed?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh twice, realizing that Li Muling was indeed ruthless.

It's one thing to have done something indecent to Li Quan's wife, but to worry about it getting out, he actually killed her.

However, this is indeed something Li Muling is capable of doing, and considering Li Muling's previous actions towards the Xie family, it seems to make sense.

"Fine, I believe you. Li Muling, I'll kill him for you!"

Thank you.

Li Quan was lying on the ground, his head buried in the earth, seemingly waiting for death to come.

Yu Changsheng also pressed his magical weapon against the man's neck, preparing to deliver the final blow. (End of Chapter)
