Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 19 Refining Qi to the Fourth Heaven

"With these two Spirit Enhancement Pills, I can break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining tonight."

Having wasted his life last time, Yu Changsheng doesn't plan to consume it himself this time. Instead, he will feed it all to the Crimson Serpent King and wait for the reward.

He made a hand seal and summoned the Red Serpent King.

As soon as the Red Serpent King appeared, it rubbed against his hand, knowing that letting him out at this time would definitely bring him something delicious.

"Here, eat one first, then refine the other one."

Fearing that the Crimson Serpent King would be weakened, he fed it one of the Spirit-Enhancing Pills first.

As soon as the Crimson Serpent King swallowed it whole, it reacted quickly, shaking its head contentedly before beginning to refine it.

About an hour later, the system message popped up, and Yu Changsheng's body trembled.

[You have successfully fed a Crimson Serpent King, consuming 1 Spirit Enhancement Pill, and received a reward of 70 Essence Points and a small amount of Mana.]

Perhaps it's because this booster pill is of lower quality than before, with 10 less essence.

But most importantly, there's that tiny amount of mana as a reward!

"We're about to break through!"

After Yu Changsheng fed Luo Lesheng to the Crimson Serpent King, his internal magical power had already reached the peak of the third level of Qi Refining. Now, with this increase, he couldn't help but break through to the next level!

"Fourth Heaven of Qi Refining!"

He was excited after the breakthrough, feeling that every meridian in his body was overflowing with magical power.

I never expected that I would break through a realm in just one month. This speed is much faster than that of other menial servants.

The key point is that he wasn't taking drugs, but the Red Serpent King was. There wasn't much drug poison accumulating in his body, which would greatly help him in his future foundation building, and his magical power would be of excellent quality.

"Here, have another one to help me solidify my cultivation level."

Yu Changsheng stuffed the remaining Spirit Enhancement Pill into the Red Serpent King's mouth and laughed.

The Red Serpent King was puzzled, but he still ate it and enjoyed himself again.

Which other spirit beast can improve its strength by taking medicine like this?

These days are truly blissful!

Demonic beasts have stronger physiques than cultivators and have excellent digestive abilities, making it difficult for them to accumulate medicinal toxins. Even if there are medicinal toxins, their effects on them are negligible.

After digesting it again, Yu Changsheng's realm was completely stabilized, and the amount of essence he had accumulated reached 340 points.

"Next, I need to stockpile more essence. My priority is to break through to mastery of the Divine Refining Technique. This will allow my divine sense range to reach a terrifying one-thousand-meter radius. Combined with the Disguise Pearl, even Foundation Establishment experts will have difficulty discerning my true form!"

"I need to be careful with these two hundred spirit stones that I got for free. I don't know if my family has replied yet. If I could get another hundred spirit stones, I could go to the alchemy hall to learn alchemy and enter a stage of rapid development."

Thinking about these things, Yu Changsheng felt happy.

As expected, in the world of cultivation, murder and arson are the fastest ways to make money. However, this project is quite risky. If you walk by the river too often, you'll be finished if you get your shoes wet.

So, although he was very tempted, he decided to stay in the sect and develop his skills quietly.

"I have to thank Law Lok-sang so much for giving me so many nice things."

"These Soul-Breaking Nails are too easily identifiable. It's best not to use them unless absolutely necessary. I'll wait until I go to the gathering someday and secretly sell them for spirit stones. But this magic fan is perfect for me. Luo Lesheng has never refined it before, so no outsiders should know about it."

Yu Changsheng took out the magic fan and examined it carefully.

The fan has a flat surface and the fan ribs on both sides are carved with spell patterns, which increases the absorption of wind-type spiritual energy in the air. When it is waved, it can release powerful wind and wind blades.

He possesses the Wind Spirit Root, and using this magic fan is further enhanced, making it much more powerful than when Luo Lesheng used it.

From now on, I'll call you Absolute Fan.

After Yu Changsheng refined it initially, he stored it in his system space. The Absolute Fan was considered a top-grade magic weapon among low-level magic artifacts.

Early in the morning, Yu Changsheng went out and headed straight to Lingji Garden to feed the chickens.

These chickens have been raised for a month and have even produced a few more chicks, but after they are shipped out this month, the number will return to around 135.

"This spirit chicken is quite robust. It only requires 460 points to transform. If we take good care of it, we can save some essence next month."

After feeding the spirit chicken with spirit rice based on its condition, Yu Changsheng stroked its feathers a few times to make it happier.

The other spirit chickens are all below 600 essence points, and they are still far from undergoing a natural transformation.

"Speaking of which, this Spirit Chicken King can sell for fifty low-grade spirit stones. If I could buy one and resell it at the Myriad Beasts Pavilion in the Fish Market, wouldn't the price difference be more than the wages for honest work?"

Thinking of this, Yu Changsheng was tempted and planned to wait for Steward Chang to come and ask him.

He's really short of spirit stones right now.

Not long after, Steward Chang brought over a bag of new spirit rice, and Yu Changsheng took the opportunity to bring up his desire to buy spirit chickens.

"These spirit chickens were originally Uncle Han's business, but I've handed them over to manage. It doesn't matter who I sell them to, as long as it's at market price. How many would you like to buy?" Manager Chang asked.

"I mainly bought them to improve the diet of my own beasts. I won't need too many; two or three a month will suffice."

Yu Changsheng wanted to buy more, but he knew that his monthly salary was only four or five spirit stones, and buying too many at once would easily arouse suspicion.

Moreover, although there are free-range cultivators raising spirit chickens in the fish market, spirit chicken kings are not common. Even when he ships them, he has to calculate the timing carefully to avoid being associated with the sect's spirit chicken garden.

Manager Chang nodded and agreed.

"When the time comes, you can take the spirit chicken to the affairs hall and pay the spirit stones. It will cost you four spirit stones for the fourth level of the first rank, and five spirit stones for the fifth level."

"Thank you, Steward Chang."

Yu Changsheng was overjoyed. As long as he sold three spirit chickens, he would have enough spirit stones to learn alchemy. He was not sure whether he would continue the spirit chicken business.

However, the trade in these demonic beasts seems quite profitable. Once I become an outer disciple and my status rises accordingly, I might be able to learn more about them.

Manager Chang selected three of the fattest spirit chickens, put them into the spirit beast bag, and then, after a moment of hesitation, asked a question.

"Yesterday, news came from the miscellaneous servants' office in Yufang Market that Huang Li and others died in the dense forest. You have some grudges against him; are you aware of this?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng felt a chill run down his spine, raised his head, and revealed a perfectly timed expression of shock.

"Senior Brother Huang is dead?"

"I only just found out, it's a pity, he's still so young."

Manager Chang didn't see anything wrong with his face and laughed.

"I don't know what he was doing at the fish market. Collecting rent isn't his job. He was just unlucky enough to run into that rogue cultivator's murderous intent."

"This morning, the sect wanted to send someone to ask you something, but I sent them away. You think you, a mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator, could kill him? That's laughable."

Yu Changsheng also gave a dry laugh.

"Take good care of these spirit chickens. Don't worry about anything. There's no evidence. If Huang Suyu dares to come here, he'll be slapping the faces of us managers."

After saying that, Steward Chang left on his own.

Yu Changsheng remained, muttering thoughtfully, "They probably didn't notice, did they?"
