Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 103 Huang Suyu Returns

"Have you heard? There was a huge upset at this year's alchemy competition?"

"Oh? What a huge upset! Could it be that the alchemist from Jade Cauldron Peak didn't take first place this time?"

"That's right, you guessed correctly!"

"Really? The alchemists on Jade Cauldron Peak have always been stronger than those on other peaks. Alchemy is their specialty. How could they lose to the other peaks?"

"We lost, we lost, and not just to one, but to two! This time, the alchemists from Jade Cauldron Peak only ranked third, while the top two came from Beast Taming Peak and Magic Peak respectively!"

"Beast Taming Peak, Spellcasting Peak? They managed to take first place? Good heavens, is this alchemy competition really that easy?"

"On the contrary, this alchemy competition is much more difficult than the previous ones, requiring the refining of rare and unusual pills. Of course, this is precisely why it has given alchemists from other peaks an opportunity."

"What are the names of those two alchemists? I'd better remember their names."

"Listen up, the first place is Yu Changsheng from Beast Taming Peak. He is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, but he won the first place in the Alchemy Competition at the young age of seventeen. His future is limitless. The second place is Mi Lifu from Magic Peak. He looks a bit sleazy, but his alchemy skills are not bad."

"Yu Changsheng, Mi Lifu, I'll remember them. I'll go find them to refine pills when I have the chance. I believe their fees will be much cheaper than those people from Jade Cauldron Peak."

"Hehehe, they might not accept."

On the Lingya Mountain of Yujian Peak, several disciples were discussing the results of the alchemy competition. Zhuang Yan, who was sitting cross-legged nearby waiting for a spot to become available in his cave, twitched his ears and looked somewhat surprised.

"Beast Taming Peak, Yu Changsheng, could it be that Junior Brother Yu I know?"

Zhuang Yan looked surprised and somewhat incredulous.

Since becoming an outer disciple of Yujian Peak, he has been diligently practicing swordsmanship for the past few months. He has been quite lucky and passed the first test of Sword Valley, receiving the extra reward for outer disciples. His cultivation level has increased from the fifth level of Qi Refining to the sixth level.

He is now waiting for an opportunity in front of the cave, intending to challenge an outer disciple and use the spirit stone vein here to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

He doesn't know how to refine pills, nor does he have any other means of earning spirit stones. He only knows how to control swords and the sword techniques taught by the Sword Control Peak. Perhaps it was because he was slightly better than other outer disciples in swordsmanship and had received affirmation from an elder who passed on his skills that his cultivation and strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

Otherwise, his strength might not have changed so quickly. At least now, when he faces Wang Qizheng's dagger again, he is not flustered and may even have a chance to defeat him!

The sword is the king of all weapons. As long as one understands some sword principles, it is not a problem for a sword cultivator to fight against opponents of higher levels.

"I haven't been in touch with Junior Brother Yu for a while. I didn't expect him to be so outstanding in alchemy. I should write him a letter to congratulate him after I seize the cave."

Zhuang Yan stroked the long sword in front of him. The sword was white and looked very ordinary, but it exuded a cold light. Once it was used, one could feel its sharpness.

This sword is a mid-grade magic weapon that he reforged from the Dragon Roar Sword given to him by Yu Changsheng. Its function is no worse than that of the Dragon Roar Sword.

Zhuang Yan sighed inwardly. If it weren't for this sword, he probably wouldn't have been able to pass the first test of Sword Valley.

Sword Valley is the training ground for outer disciples of the Sword Control Peak, similar to the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm of the Beast Control Peak. However, Sword Valley mainly tests swordsmanship and understanding of the sword, and the enemy is also a sword!

With the help of the Cold Moon Sword, he passed the first test and gained some understanding of sword principles, which gave him the confidence to seize a cave dwelling here.

"Crunch!"

The door to a cave dwelling opened at that moment.

Zhuang Yan looked up but did not get up to snatch it.

The Lingya Mountain has hundreds of cave dwellings. The earlier the number, the stronger the disciples inside. The cave dwellings within the top 100 are almost all inner disciples, whose strength is beyond his ability to challenge.

And this opened cave is the eighty-second one in the hundred.

"Phew, it's been so long since I've come out for some fresh air."

Inside the cave, the inner disciple had just stepped out to get some fresh air when his expression suddenly changed.

Meanwhile, the disciples from the other caves waiting on Lingya Mountain also sensed something was wrong!

"This is sword intent?! It feels so sharp!"

Zhuang Yan looked up and saw a white light streak across the sky, flying rapidly toward them. Its sharp aura was like that of a sword!

He hasn't grasped even a trace of sword intent yet; he's still in the process of understanding the principles of swordsmanship.

"That's Huang Suyu!"

When the sword shadow and white light landed on Lingya Mountain, Zhuang Yan's pupils shrank and he was shocked when he saw the figure of the newcomer.

Huang Suyu was a genius among the outer disciples of Yujian Peak, so many disciples knew him.

Knowing that Huang Suyu had a conflict with Yu Changsheng and that his younger brother Huang Li died under mysterious circumstances, Zhuang Yan paid special attention to Huang Suyu's whereabouts after arriving at Yujian Peak.

Unfortunately, after he arrived, Huang Suyu disappeared without a trace. When he wrote to Yu Changsheng about this matter, he had speculated that the other party might have left the sect to find a Foundation Establishment Pill and an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

I never expected to see them at this time!

Zhuang Yan immediately lowered his head, not daring to use his divine sense to observe, and even looked away from the other person to avoid being noticed.

From that one glance, one could tell that Huang Suyu had not yet broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

But if the other party appears here and returns to the sect, they may have already gathered all the materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, or they may have already bought the Foundation Establishment Pill!

Regardless of the circumstances, this is a terrible situation. Since the deaths of Huang Li and Wu Shang, Zhuang Yan doesn't believe that Huang Suyu can sit down and have a proper talk with Yu Changsheng to resolve the conflict.

Based on Huang Suyu's previous rumors of being ruthless, he would definitely take action personally upon learning of Wu Shang's cause of death and that Yu Changsheng was still alive!

"I need to inform Junior Brother Yu about this as soon as possible, and tell him to stay on Beast Taming Peak and not go out, so he can be prepared and avoid falling victim to Huang Suyu's evil deeds!"

"I still owe Junior Brother Yu a huge favor—my life!"

Just as Zhuang Yan made up his mind.

Huang Suyu, who had landed in front of Cave Number Eighty-Two, stared coldly at the inner disciple and said impatiently, "Give up the cave and leave!"

Upon hearing this, the inner disciple immediately laughed.

"I know you, Huang Suyu, right? You're somewhat famous among the outer disciples, but you seem a bit too arrogant and domineering, and you don't know your place!"

"I'll give you one chance, now get out!"

As he spoke, the inner disciple's expression turned cold, and he waved his hand to shoo him away.

However, all that awaited him was a single sword strike!

Huang Suyu drew his sword, the sword light pointing directly at the inner disciple without the slightest hesitation, filled with killing intent!

"court death!"

The inner disciple was furious. He was already a peak Qi Refining cultivator, with the same realm as Huang Suyu, but his strength was superior. Even sword cultivators at the first or second level of Foundation Establishment in the inner sect would not dare to draw their swords against him.

This mere outer disciple dared to attack him first!

"Whoosh!"

Two sword lights crashed into the cave entrance, sending shockwaves soaring several meters high. Many outer disciples squinted, staring in astonishment.
