Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 58 Crazy Essence Farming

Yu Changsheng took the pill and was very satisfied.

Although only five pills were successfully made this time, the entire process was completed by myself without the assistance of my master.

"It's probably because the transition from a slow fire to a high fire was too fast. Be careful in the next batch. Six pills should be fine."

Yu Changsheng took out the materials with a smile, then suddenly stopped, glanced at the sky outside, and quickly packed them up.

"I haven't fed the spirit chickens in the garden and the beast kennel yet; I can't afford to miss out on those two thousand essences every day!"

He hurriedly left the alchemy room.

He is currently lacking in essence, as he has too many cultivation techniques and spells that need to be upgraded, and the transformation and fusion of the Crimson Serpent King and the Iron Eagle King into ancestral masters will also consume essence.

Having finally found a great place to farm essence in the Beast Garden, he certainly didn't want to be kicked out by Elder Wei the very next day.

By the time they arrived at the animal park, it was nearly noon.

Fortunately, Old Wei was not angry. He seemed to know that Yu Changsheng had been very busy lately. He lay on the rocking chair and said leisurely.

"Feeding spirit beasts is not a pleasant job. If you don't have time to come, it's okay. I usually take care of things here anyway."

Yu Changsheng said respectfully, "This disciple will come over whenever I have time, it's no trouble at all."

"Hmm, go get some food to feed them. I'll take a nap. This sun is so nice. When you get old, you don't like to move around much."

As he spoke, Old Wei closed his eyes in the rocking chair, looking completely relaxed.

Yu Changsheng dared not delay, as some spirit beasts would become angry if they were too hungry. After getting the ingredients from the wooden house, he immediately fed them in order.

On the lawn, the blue deer looked over curiously; the newcomer had actually come again.

It took small steps and nodded its head three times at him.

The speed at which he nodded was much faster than yesterday, as if he was deliberately making things difficult for Yu Changsheng.

But Yu Changsheng reacted quickly, nodding his head three times in quick succession.

The blue deer, as if it had found a fun toy, smiled and continued to nod at him, its speed increasing even further.

Yu Changsheng was not to be outdone.

Finally, the man and the beast nodded hundreds of times, exhausted, and compromised.

After eating the palm leaves, the blue deer called out to Yu Changsheng wearily, then quietly returned to the lawn and lazily lay down.

"That was close." Yu Changsheng wiped away his sweat, took a breath, and headed to the next spirit beast.

This blue deer was undoubtedly the most mischievous spirit beast in the animal park, but it was just a bit of a joke and didn't bully others because of its cultivation level.

After Yu Changsheng finished feeding the entire batch, he gained another 1900+ points of essence.

In just two days, his essence reached more than 4000 points.

This terrifying speed thrilled him.

"At this rate of growth, I can accumulate 100,000 essence points in two months, and mastering the Divine Refinement Technique will be just around the corner!"

"However, after each feeding, the essence decreases, almost like the properties of a elixir."

Yu Changsheng calmed himself down.

Lingji Garden has remained unchanged for a century; each time you feed one chicken, you get 1 point of essence.

But in the animal park, the feeding points were 1970 yesterday, but only 1920 today. Tomorrow they might drop to around 1800, and who knows how much they will decrease in a month.

"In comparison, Lingji Garden seems more stable and reliable."

"Once I take over the Spirit Chicken Farm, I can expand the scale, raising 150 spirit chickens to 1000, which will give me a fixed 1000 essence points every day!"

Yu Changsheng smiled wittily.

After leaving Beast Taming Peak, he went to the Spirit Chicken Garden, fed the chickens, and then went to refine pills again.

Meanwhile, news came from the Affairs Hall that the contribution points for those selected through the miscellaneous service had been distributed by Elder Wan of Yujian Peak. He received 3200 contribution points, which, together with the initial 100 points, brought his total to 3300 points.

This contribution is enough to exchange for a unique cultivation technique of Beast Taming Peak, or even to find an elder of Beast Taming Peak to personally teach you.

But Yu Changsheng doesn't have time to go now. He spends his days going back and forth between two places: either refining pills or on his way to feed the chickens.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Beast Taming Peak, summit.

Yun and Jing landed in front of a cave, went inside, and respectfully bowed to a figure in front of them, saying, "Master."

Inside the cave, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe turned around. His eyes were piercing, and his imposing aura was awe-inspiring.

This person is none other than Mo Pengchen, the peak master of Beast Taming Peak.

"They're here."

"I've already looked at the information about that disciple you mentioned. Although he only has three spiritual roots, his talent in beast taming is truly astonishing."

With his hands behind his back and an appreciative glint in his eyes, Mo Pengchen smiled at Yun Hejing and said, "With his abilities, it wouldn't be a problem for me to take him as a disciple or even personally teach him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Hejing's expression brightened with joy.

When Yu Changsheng passed the selection, she came to her master to inform him of the matter and also inquired about Yu Changsheng's past in detail.

The purpose is to make the Beast Taming Peak pay more attention to Yu Changsheng and nurture him well, so that there will definitely be another Golden Core True Person a hundred years from now!

However, Mo Pengchen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's just that I can't take him in now."

Yun Hejing was taken aback and blurted out, "Why is that?"

"Master, could it be because Yu Changsheng was accepted as a true disciple by Gongsun Yang?"

"But his joining the Beast Taming Peak means he's already made his choice, and with Gongsun Yang's guidance, he'll be more skilled in alchemy than the other disciples—it's all beneficial!"

"Master, you can't give up on this excellent disciple because of some old-fashioned stubbornness!"

Mo Pengchen raised his hand, interrupting, "No, you've misunderstood."

"Master, I'd like to take him in too, but... it seems Elder Wei has his eye on him."

At this point, Mo Pengchen also sighed.

Yun and Jing showed expressions of surprise.

"Old Master Wei, didn't he stop accepting apprentices?"

Mo Pengchen shook his head and said, "I don't know what Elder Wei is thinking, but if Elder Wei can take him as a disciple, it would be an immense blessing for him. He might even become the next peak master in the future."

"Or perhaps, Elder Wei saw his affinity with spirit beasts and wanted to train him, trying to form a contract with him."

Mo Pengchen slowly closed his mouth and said meaningfully.

"This matter is not bad for Yu Changsheng either. A genius is only a useful genius if he can grow up. He is only at the Qi Refining stage now, and he has a long way to go."

"Since I have taken him as my personal disciple, the eyes of the four peaks will inevitably be on him, and pressure, struggle, and suppression will surely follow."

"Let's just leave it at that. You don't need to say anything more. Let things take their course. I think Old Wei has his own plans."

Yun Hejing was filled with mixed emotions. She cupped her hands in agreement and then left the cave, a trace of shock still lingering on her face.

After Yun Hejing left, Mo Pengchen stood in front of the cave, gazing out of the mountains, and murmured, "Is it possible?"

"Since the death of the Purple Mansion Ancestor, no one has been able to touch that spirit beast, let alone form a contract with it. Even Elder Wei can only visit it once a month."

"A mere Qi Refining cultivator, can he truly fulfill the long-cherished wish of our ancestor?"

"How long will it take? Will it be enough time?"

Mo Pengchen didn't know the answer and could only sigh.
