Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Alright, you can begin. Remember, absolutely no magic!"

Yu Changsheng was naturally confident. Even if he didn't use his magic, he hadn't completely forgotten his childhood skill of catching fish in the river.

Soon, Yu Changsheng jumped into the river and, after searching around for a while, found several small fish in a pile of grass.

Yu Changsheng reacted quickly, grabbing the two fish in each hand and throwing them ashore.

Du Xingcai showed no concern whatsoever upon seeing this.

"Not bad, you're quite skilled. It seems you do have some talent."

Yu Changsheng continued to attack, even though he couldn't use his magic.

However, with his Purple Mansion cultivation level, Yu Changsheng's reaction ability was still extremely strong.

With quick eyes and hands, he caught five more in a row.

Now, adding the first two, only the following three remain.

Yu Changsheng had already caught all the fish in the nearby river, and he was just about to catch the next one.

But Du Xingcai was extremely unethical; he used his magic to scare away all the fish around Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng immediately turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"

Du Xingcai, however, said with a grin:

"I never said I wouldn't interfere. You've already caught seven of them, so the remaining three won't be so easy for you to catch."

"Let's see if you're still so arrogant now."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng couldn't help but smile wryly. This Du Xingcai really knew how to make things difficult for people.

Even so, Yu Changsheng did not give up.

Instead, he suddenly summoned several of his beasts from the river, and in an instant, the entire river surface surged with waves and splashed everywhere.

Under Yu Changsheng's instruction, the beasts immediately exerted their power.

In no time at all, dozens of fish were sent flying.

Yu Changsheng immediately grabbed three of them and threw them onto the shore, while the rest of the fish fell back into the water like raindrops.

Du Xingcai was dumbfounded and stomped her feet in anger.

I almost forgot that Yu Changsheng also has beast taming abilities.

"Hmph! You're cheating."

Yu Changsheng swam back to shore, laughing, "How can this be called cheating? Didn't you say that anything I could grab with both hands would be fine?"

"These ten points are all things that I truly grasped with both hands."

"As for other effects, you never mentioned them beforehand. Besides, you yourself have affected the fish's swimming, so naturally you can't stop me from having the beast tamer interfere."

Du Xingcai gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care, you're just cheating! That doesn't count!"

Yu Changsheng shook his head helplessly; it was impossible to reason with this woman.

"Okay, okay, then tell me, if this won't work, what should we do?"

After thinking for a moment with his hands on his hips, Du Xingcai couldn't come up with an answer for the time being, so he simply said, "Forget it, I'll just owe you this time."

"If you dare to lie to me like this again, it will be an added crime!"

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Alright, alright, I'll do as you say."

Du Xingcai was finally satisfied and gave up.

"Alright, since your attitude was alright, I'll forgive you for now."

Du Xingcai suddenly sniffed and smelled a burnt smell.

Then I saw my own grilled fish on the shore, which had long been charred black.

Du Xingcai quickly went over and put out the fire, but unfortunately the grilled fish had already turned into charcoal ash.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't been there and bothered me, my fish wouldn't have burned."

Yu Changsheng said, "This isn't my fault; it was clearly your carelessness. But since there are so many, why not just bake more?"

Du Xingcai waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, I'm not eating anymore. You've made me so angry I'm full."

Du Xingcai gradually became serious. "By the way, the Holy Maiden summoned you earlier; she must have something important to discuss, right?"

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right. The Holy Maiden summoned me here to carry out a mission."

"What kind of task do you need to do? The Third Elder has so many Nascent Soul cultivators under his command, why is it you who has to be chosen?"

Yu Changsheng had no choice but to tell Chen Xueqing what had happened and explain it to her.

This is something that other cultivators really can't do; only he can.

After all, Yu Changsheng was the one who united the Du family and Elder Wu's cultivators to defeat the enemies of Sanling Town.

Now, the thought of sending these people to fight within enemy territory carries such a great risk.

If you were to change the person, it would be impossible to persuade these people to risk their lives.

Therefore, only Yu Changsheng is capable of this task.

"Even she's going?"

Du Xingcai was also shocked. The Holy Maiden of the Sea Beast Heavenly Island could have acted in a safe place, but she chose to take such a great risk.

Du Xingcai was also somewhat puzzled.

Yu Changsheng retorted, "When the Du family was driven out of Sanling Town, you, a Nascent Soul cultivator, could have easily chosen to leave. Instead, you stayed on the island and rallied the Du family members involved to launch a counterattack, didn't you?"

"Actually, it's all the same situation."

"In short, although this operation was extremely risky, the rewards were equally enormous."

"Each time a town is attacked, the resources that can be obtained are countless, which are the resources accumulated by several families and cities over countless years."

"While it may not be as good as the ones in Sanling Town, it's about the same size."

"Moreover, it's not just one city lord. I predict that this time, we can successfully take down at least three or four cities."

"Only then might we attract Wang Donghai's attention. By then, we might have already left safely."

After hearing this, Du Xingcai also felt a little tempted.

As can be seen from her previous invitation to Yu Changsheng to investigate the Li family's robbery of spiritual materials, the Du family is now in dire need of rebuilding.

The more difficult the times, the more spiritual materials and stones are needed to stabilize people's hearts.

Moreover, the family's rapid development is inseparable from these.

Du Xingcai was penniless; her cultivation had always been supported by her family, so she rarely considered such things.

Although progress has been rapid, there is a lack of personal accumulation, and at this moment there is not much to show for it.

It's unclear how long it will take for Sanling Town to accumulate resources again.

Therefore, Du Xingcai most desires to acquire certain resources.

"How many men do you plan to take? Attacking a town will require a considerable force."

Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "It's not about the quantity of soldiers, but their quality! Besides, taking too many people would make us too conspicuous and extremely inconvenient."

"Generally speaking, a town will not have more than five Nascent Soul cultivators."

"There aren't many super-large cities like Sanling Town, which have more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there."

"Our focus will not be on these cities."

"Therefore, Nascent Soul cultivators only need to bring a maximum of ten, while others can bring a maximum of two Purple Mansion cultivators."

"After all, with so many Nascent Soul cultivators here, there always needs to be one or two people to do the odd jobs."

Du Xingcai nodded slightly: "The combined power of more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators is indeed formidable."

"But where are you going to gather so many people?"

Yu Changsheng had already calculated it.

Chen Xueqing can get help from three Nascent Soul cultivators from the Third Elder, making a total of five people including Lin Hao and herself.

In addition, the Du family has Du Xingcai. As for the Xie family, Yu Changsheng really hopes that the cloaked man can join, but he may not be able to persuade him.

With him around, Yu Changsheng's chances of success will be even greater.

Whether he will agree is still unknown, so we won't discuss that for now.

Perhaps we can get two or three people from Elder Wu.

Although Elder Wu also had nearly ten Nascent Soul cultivators under his command who could be mobilized.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

But it's impossible to take everyone with us.

Sanling Town also needs strength to defend it; otherwise, if Wang Donghai takes the opportunity to attack, it will be impossible to hold on without a Nascent Soul cultivator.

So, that makes it roughly less than ten people.

As for the Li family, Yu Changsheng was also hesitant about whether to invite their people.

The advantage of involving the Li family is that it can prevent them from having any ulterior motives if they stay behind.

Furthermore, if successful, it would also unite the Li family and Elder Wu's forces, which would benefit the future development of Sanling Town.

Otherwise, it's not a good thing if the attitudes of both sides remain rigid.

If we bring in one or two more Nascent Soul cultivators from the Li family, that would make about ten people.

After calculating for Du Xingcai, Yu Changsheng also intended to listen to her opinion.

"I have no objection, except for involving the Li family, which I disagree with."

"What you said makes some sense, but what if the Li family changes their tune again and colludes with the Third Elder's people?"

"The secrecy of this operation is crucial. What if the Li family betrays us and exposes our location, allowing Wang Donghai to capture us all?"

"That would be terrible, so we absolutely cannot bring anyone from the Li family!"

Yu Changsheng had naturally considered this matter as well.

Therefore, his idea was to have each person act separately before taking action.

This way, the number of targets can be reduced.

After all, a group of more than ten people acting together would make them too conspicuous and obvious.

Yu Changsheng would only give them the information to arrive when the actual operation was about to begin.

Of course, this also carries the risk of exposure.

However, as long as Yu Changsheng and his group act quickly enough, there will be no problem.

Moreover, the Li family had previously betrayed the City Lord's Mansion.

He was already being viewed with hostility by Wang Donghai. Adding to that, if things had happened at this time...

If he were to suddenly betray her, it's uncertain whether Wang Donghai would accept it.

Even if the Li family were incredibly foolish, they wouldn't do something like this.

However, seeing Du Xingcai's behavior, Yu Changsheng changed his mind.

The decision was made to no longer discuss the matter with the Li family.

If, before they can even take action against Wang Donghai's territory, they start fighting amongst themselves, that would be an extremely troublesome situation.

Furthermore, if unequal distribution of spoils leads to mutual suspicion and jealousy, it could cause the Li family to harbor resentment and deliberately leak information to Wang Donghai.

This could also lead to serious consequences. After much thought, it's really not worth taking such a big risk just for the addition of one or two Nascent Soul cultivators.

Du Xingcai asked, "In that case, when do you plan to set off?"

Yu Changsheng responded, "Of course, the faster the better. The faster we act, the less risk there is of this matter being exposed."

"You should also make some preparations. We'll set off early tomorrow morning. It would be best to think of a reason, such as going into seclusion, so you can stay out of sight for the time being."

"This operation may take at least a month to complete."

"it is good."

Du Xingcai nodded slightly. There were indeed some matters in the family that needed to be dealt with in advance, and she needed to arrange them as soon as possible.

After Du Xingcai left, Yu Changsheng immediately contacted the Xie family.

Regardless, he had to try to get help from the cloaked man, Senior Black Mystery.

Of course, he wasn't too sure whether Black Mystery would help him.

That night, Yu Changsheng was summoned by Chen Xueqing.

Inside a large courtyard within a city lord's mansion.

Elder Wu and Chen Xueqing are both here.

Yu Changsheng went up and greeted everyone.

Then he inquired, "May I ask what important matter the Holy Maiden has summoned me for so late at night?"

Chen Xueqing said, "I have already spoken with Elder Wu today, and Elder Wu plans to send four cultivators to assist you."

"But Elder Wu wants to know your plan first, to see if it's feasible."

Yu Changsheng took a slight lead. Elder Wu was able to send four Nascent Soul cultivators to help, probably because of Chen Xueqing's influence.

After all, this kind of thing is too risky. Elder Wu is essentially betting heavily on it, so naturally he wants to hear Yu Changsheng's thoughts first.

Otherwise, directly handing over four Nascent Soul cultivators to Yu Changsheng for command would indeed be a difficult decision.

Yu Changsheng said, "For this operation, I only plan to take some elite cultivators deep into the territory of local forces."

"This has two advantages. First, it's more secretive. Nascent Soul cultivators are quick and powerful."

"It can even handle some dangerous situations. Although bringing a large number of cultivators would create a great impression, its ability to restrain others would be relatively limited."

"The second point is that the threat is great, so the Second Elder had to mobilize a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators to surround and block it."

"But if we act quickly enough, the Second Elder will have even more headaches. To encircle and block us, he would need far more Nascent Soul cultivators than we do, who can truly restrain us."

"And since there are fewer Nascent Soul cultivators coming, they are not worth worrying about at all."

"The only thing to worry about is the Void Refinement cultivators."

"But such cultivators don't usually make a move easily. Even if there are Void Refinement cultivators, they would probably need to confront the Void Refinement cultivators on the Third Elder's side."

"If this level of power is lost, it will inevitably lead to a completely one-sided situation on the battlefield, which is definitely something the Second Elder would rather not see."

Elder Wu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It seemed that this operation, though risky, was actually not a big problem as long as no Void Refinement cultivators came.

Chen Xueqing smiled and nodded, it seemed that Yu Changsheng had already thought this through, so she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

Elder Wu nodded and said, "Alright, in that case, I'll take the gamble with you!"

"I'm quite looking forward to seeing just how abundant the resources are within the Third Elder's sphere of influence."

"Yu Changsheng, you absolutely must bring my people back to me. Not only that, you must also bring back a large amount of resources and spirit stones. Can you do that?" (End of Chapter)
