Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Upon hearing this, Li Muling felt his vision go black.

So many spiritual materials, just like that, someone openly and brazenly took them all away? It's an absolute joke!

If this gets out, the Li family will lose all face!

"You two good-for-nothings, how could you cause such a mess for me? Explain yourself clearly."

Li Quan also looked troubled: "This was just a coincidence. Today I..."

Li Quan explained the situation in general terms, which made Li Muling even angrier.

"You mean, this was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Li Xiu, who, seeing that you were ill and unable to go to the transfer station with him to retrieve the spiritual materials, planned to keep them for himself?"

Li Quan nodded slightly and said, "That should be the case."

Li Muling's face was tense, and he refrained from attacking the two of them, relying on the last bit of his rationality.

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and find someone for me!"

Li Mu Liao said, "We have already sent people out to search, but we don't have enough manpower."

"Li Xiu deliberately used some tricks to delay the time it took for us to discover him. By now, he's probably already far away."

"wrong!"

Li Muling immediately realized there was a problem.

"Li Quan just said that he was transferred by Li Xiu's communication jade slip to the transit station."

"How far is Sanling Town from the transit station? How long would it take? How come you didn't notice?"

Li Quan explained, "Clan leader, as you know, I was injured and unable to fly, which is why I had to travel by carriage. Who would have thought it would cause such a big delay?"

Li Muling was also quite annoyed, "Why did you have to cause a problem at this time? What went wrong?"

Li Quan could only explain that his magical power was sluggish, causing it to malfunction. If he were to fly, he might suddenly fall from mid-air, which would be a fatal fall even for a cultivator of the Purple Mansion realm.

Therefore, they could only travel on foot or by horse-drawn carriage.

To achieve this effect, Li Quan even took a special pill to ensure the performance was convincing.

Li Muling stepped forward, directly pinched Li Quan's meridians, and slowly channeled his own magic power into him to see if it was as Li Quan had said.

Li Quan was prepared, so he naturally relaxed his defenses and offered no resistance.

As soon as Li Muling's magical power entered Li Quan's meridians, he soon felt a stagnation and the flow was not smooth, just as Li Quanheng had said.

"snort!"

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Li Muling shook off his arm.

"Two perfectly healthy people, and they managed to be played like this? What a bunch of useless trash!"

Li Quan and the other man bowed their heads and said, "We know we were wrong."

"Clan leader, the most urgent task is to find Li Xiuren as soon as possible, otherwise our Li family will suffer a great loss this time."

Li Muling was furious upon hearing this, but he suppressed his anger and asked:

"Exactly how much was lost? Tell me clearly."

Li Mu Liao could only say tremblingly:

"Most of the spiritual materials in my shop were taken away by Li Xiu."

"The spiritual materials that were supposed to be transferred to my shop at the transit station were all taken away by Li Xiu. The loss is probably over 100 million spirit stones."

Upon hearing this number, Li Muling felt his vision go black.

The Li family had been preparing for this shop for countless years before finally opening it, but unexpectedly, it was snatched away by someone from the Li family not long after it opened.

One can imagine Li Muling's feelings at this moment.

"You, Li Xiu, you really have quite the appetite! You managed to take the benefits from both sides."

"I just don't know if your cultivation level is high enough to withstand such a powerful attack!"

"Pass on my order! Immediately mobilize all available members of the Li family and bring this beast back to me!"

"Anyone who can find Li Xiu will be rewarded with ten million spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this number, both Li Quan and Li Mu Liao gasped in shock; it seemed that Li Mu Ling was truly enraged.

Such a huge bounty, offered only to hunt down a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level, would naturally attract a lot of attention.

Soon, the news spread within the Li family.

It was said that a traitor had appeared in the Li family, and that there was a bounty of ten million spirit stones. Immediately, many family disciples with considerable strength were eager to try their luck.

This news naturally spread quickly throughout the entire town of Sanling.

Not only the Li family, but also many other residents of Sanling Town and some independent cultivators were envious.

That's ten million spirit stones! And all you need to do is deal with a Purple Mansion cultivator. The temptation is unimaginable.

Moreover, Li Muling ordered that even if they only found this person, told him his location, and confirmed it was correct, they could still obtain a full five million spirit stones even without capturing Li Xiu.

It's practically like finding money on the street.

Inside an inn.

Upon hearing this news, Yu Changsheng also laughed out loud.

"It seems that Li Muling is really desperate, offering such high conditions."

Du Xingcai, who was drinking tea nearby, finally felt relieved.

"Hmph, that's far from enough. You, surnamed Yu, don't think you'll stop after just taking that sum of spiritual materials from the Li family, do you?"

"Are you confident you can eliminate Li Muling?"

Yu Changsheng rolled his eyes at her. "Why are you in such a hurry? You have to eat one bite at a time. If you swallow the whole bowl of rice at once, aren't you afraid of choking?"

"Right now, Li Muling is hiding in Sanling Town, surrounded by so many Nascent Soul cultivators for protection. He himself is also a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"They're not that easy to deal with."

"Even if we were to reunite Elder Wu and the Xie family, it would be extremely difficult."

"Moreover, Elder Wu has no intention of taking action again after he dealt with Wang Haitang."

"Without Elder Wu's support, it wouldn't have been so easy to take action against the Li family."

Du Xingcai also felt a headache after hearing this.

Nowadays, the Du and Xie families are mortal enemies of the Li family.

However, the combined strength of the two companies is truly remarkable.

The Du family only had one Nascent Soul cultivator, Du Xingcai, while the Xie family was in an even worse situation, if it weren't for that mysterious expert suddenly appearing.

I'm afraid they can't even produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Li family can produce at least six or seven Nascent Soul cultivators, not to mention that their strength is definitely even greater now that they control the Three Spirits Town.

Yu Changsheng said, "Therefore, we still need to wait patiently for the right opportunity."

"When Li Muling can't find Li Xiu for a long time, he will naturally reveal his weakness."

"That might be our chance."

Seeing this, Du Xingcai stopped pressing him for more information.

The two of them did not come here today merely to eat at this inn.

They came not to meet their guests, but to see them.

Just then, a noise came from the doorway.

Not long after, the Huang siblings also slowly walked in.

Huang Qiusha stood in front, cupped his hands and said, "Hehe, Brother Zhou, we meet again."

Huang Qiushui, standing behind him, nodded to Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai naturally stood up to greet them.

"Hehe, Brother Huang, you've really kept me waiting. Please have a seat. Waiter, hurry up and bring up the best wine and dishes."

"Alright!"

Soon, the waiter brought over a series of exquisite dishes and spirit wine.

After Huang Qiusha sat down, he smiled wryly and said, "I'm sorry to have kept Brother Zhou waiting. It's really inconvenient for me to travel on the road."

"Oh? What's wrong?"

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but ask in confusion.

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

Huang Qiusha explained, "It seems that City Lord Li is capturing some wanted criminal. Many cultivators are blocking the entrance, proclaiming that they want to capture that person and claim the reward or something."

"Sigh, it took quite a while to get in. If it weren't for the people inside the city gate dispersing the crowd, we probably wouldn't be in yet."

Yu Changsheng and Du Xingcai exchanged a glance and understood the reason. It seemed that this matter was indeed getting bigger and bigger.

"Hehe, Brother Huang, I'm sorry to have offended you. Here, I'll punish myself with a drink."

After Yu Changsheng downed a cup of wine, Huang Qiusha had no choice but to drink one as well.

As they talked, they also began to reveal the purpose of their trip.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, have you had any news about those materials I asked you to help me find?"

Yu Changsheng nodded. "Brother Huang requires quite a lot of materials, and it will take some time to gather them."

"But please rest assured, Brother Huang, the items have already been ordered; it will only take a little time to gather them all!"

Indeed, the reason Yu Changsheng gave Li Quan before was true.

The Huang siblings came to the North Sea for two reasons: firstly, to gain experience; and secondly, to gain valuable lessons.

One of the real purposes was to acquire a large amount of materials.

The Nansha region is located in a large desert area, and the weather is extremely hot.

The land is also quite barren, so naturally many spiritual plants and herbs are not suitable for growth.

The problem is that many cultivation pills require materials that are difficult to replace.

This has led to one of the most dire situations in the Nansha Domain: the need to purchase large quantities of cultivation resources from other major domains.

Even small sects and families have to send people to other major regions every year to acquire these things.

Fortunately, the endless desert of the Southern Sands region produces many unique spirit beasts and ores, which have unique uses and have allowed many sects in the Southern Sands region to earn a lot of spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, Huang Qiusha couldn't help but smile.

After all, the amount of spiritual materials he needs to acquire this time is not small.

Unexpectedly, Yu Changsheng was actually able to help him resolve this matter.

Originally, Huang Qiusha was just hoping to have another way out and another opportunity.

In fact, Huang Qiusha did not only seek out Yu Changsheng to purchase materials.

The amount he sought to purchase this time was enormous, after all, it was the expense of a large family for a year or even many years, so one can imagine how terrifying the number of spiritual materials would be.

Therefore, Huang Qiusha not only placed many spiritual material vendors in these few days.

Even the Li family went to inquire about whether they could purchase large quantities of spiritual materials.

Unexpectedly, the Li family's sudden appearance of this incident disrupted Huang Qiusha's original plans.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yu Changsheng suddenly told him that he could help him get most of the spiritual materials, which naturally made Huang Qiusha overjoyed.

He immediately made an appointment with Yu Changsheng to meet in person to discuss the matter.

"Haha, in that case, thank you very much, Brother Zhou!"

Du Xingcai was also standing nearby, looking excited.

Of course she knew that the spiritual materials Yu Changsheng had thrown out were the ones they had stolen from the Li family, and she hadn't expected to find a buyer so quickly.

It seems that the day he gets the spirit stones will come much sooner than he imagined.

Her Du family is currently in dire need of rebuilding and is in dire need of spirit stones.

The two quickly reached an agreement.

Now, Yu Changsheng also plans to delay for another three to five days before handing over the spiritual materials to Huang Qiusha.

With the spiritual materials processed, Yu Changsheng felt relieved.

In the following days, Yu Changsheng waited quietly and did not take the initiative to show up or do anything.

Inside the Li family compound, however, things were bustling with activity.

Many people tried every possible method to track down Li Xiu's whereabouts.

People searching for Li Xiu could be seen everywhere in the city.

A considerable number of people believe that Li Xiu never actually fled Sanling Town, but instead remained hidden within the town.

After all, it's impossible for a cultivator like him to have remained hidden without leaving any trace until now.

So many hundreds and thousands of cultivators were searching outside. Some even went so far as to use a huge amount of money and a teleportation array to intercept Li Xiu in order to block the direction he might go.

They went to great lengths to find a place to repair.

But no matter what methods those hunters used, Li Xiu seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth at the same time, leaving no trace whatsoever.

In the past few days, Yu Changsheng has not gone anywhere else, but has stayed in the inn in Sanling Town, inquiring about news.

Yu Changsheng casually ordered a few dishes and quietly began to eat at the table.

Before he had even sat down for a short while, he heard people talking at the next table.

"Sigh, we've really lost out this time."

"Who told you to throw all our spirit stones into this? Now look what's happened, we might not even be able to afford this meal."

"Whoever still has spirit stones on them, please pay for the meal first."

The group looked at each other and noticed the evasiveness in each other's eyes.

It seems they had already used up all the spirit stones in their pockets.

"Oh dear, what should we do? Even though we are independent cultivators, we don't need to freeload."

"What a joke! Eating for free in Sanling Town? You know how the Li family operates. A new broom sweeps clean, especially since the Li family has just taken control of Sanling Town."

"Those rules are incredibly strict. If anyone causes trouble in Sanling Town, we few independent cultivators are likely to get a severe beating from the Li family."

Upon hearing this, the group's faces darkened, and they all began to wonder what to do.

After rummaging around for a while, the group managed to pull out a few taels of silver from their pockets, enough to pay for the meal.

But when they thought about how they would be penniless for a while, they all became dejected.

At this moment, the leader sighed, "If I had known, I shouldn't have participated in that manhunt. We didn't catch anyone, and we've spent all our money. I regret it so much." (End of Chapter)
