Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 9 Fusion, the Corpse of the Poisonous Spirit Python!

"Ten low-grade spirit stones?"

Yu Changsheng was taken aback, then frowned and said.

"The most valuable part of this venomous python is gone; all that's left is unsellable flesh and blood. And you still dare to accept ten low-grade spirit stones? Are you trying to take advantage of my youth?"

"I am a disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect." Yu Changsheng swung his arm behind his waist, clearly showing his disciple's token, and stared intently at the stall owner as he spoke.

This identity should be used when necessary, otherwise people will look down on me because I'm only sixteen years old!

Sure enough, the stall owner turned pale upon hearing this.

I initially thought the person buying the flesh and blood of the venomous python was someone who didn't understand its value, but it turns out they were quite knowledgeable about it.

Therefore, he could only say, "Then, seven low-grade spirit stones."

"The venomous python's head and gallbladder are gone; it's not worth the price."

Yu Changsheng bargained, saying, "At most three low-grade spirit stones."

"It took us a lot of effort to hunt this venomous python, and one of our companions even got poisoned. Three pills are too few, we need five!" the stall owner said anxiously.

"The head and the gallbladder are gone, three of them!"

"Four pieces, I'll take any price lower than that."

"No guts, three!"

"Fine, fine, I give up, three it is!"

In the end, the stall owner compromised, and Yu Changsheng bought the remaining Poisonous Pythons for three hundred spirit coins.

The money was exchanged for the goods, and both men were secretly pleased.

Although Yu Changsheng spent more than half a month's wages, the Poisonous Spirit Python he obtained was enough for him to attempt a fusion to become an Ancestor.

While the fire of demonic beasts is easy to defend against, their poison is not. Even if a cultivator holds their breath, the poison can still invade their body through their skin.

Just imagining the red serpent spewing out fiery poison, Yu Changsheng secretly looked forward to it.

He stored the venomous python's corpse in his system space, browsed other stalls, and finally spent fifty spirit coins to buy a talisman.

Beastmasters rely entirely on their beasts for damage output, so their own safety is paramount; an extra protective charm provides extra peace of mind.

Yu Changsheng was back to square one, penniless. Even after he reunited with Zhuang Yan and the others and returned home, he did not buy anything else.

As they returned to the outer peak with the others, they encountered unexpected people along the way.

"Yo ho, just got back from the market!"

Huang Li swaggered in with three disciples, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

The servants and disciples, their faces filled with fear, stepped aside, and even Zhuang Yan was unwilling to clash with him.

"Junior Brother Yu, you've bought quite a few good things, haven't you? Why don't you take them out and let your senior brother take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng calmly stared at him, while secretly preparing the incantation to summon the Crimson Serpent.

"There's no need to trouble Senior Brother Huang with that."

Just when he thought the other party was about to lose his temper and make a move, Huang Li suddenly burst into laughter.

"Junior Brother Yu, we had a bit of an unpleasantness before. It was my fault. I apologize to you here. Let's get along well on the outer peaks in the future."

After laughing, Huang Li passed by Yu Changsheng and left with his three disciples.

"Did I hear that right? Huang Li actually apologized!"

"I'm dreaming! I must be dreaming!"

"Haha, now Junior Brother Yu is quite a favorite of Steward Chang. Huang Li must be wary of him, which is why he bowed his head and apologized."

"With Steward Chang looking after him, Junior Brother Yu's promotion to outer disciple is probably only a matter of time!"

"Soon, we'll probably have to start calling him Senior Brother Yu, haha."

Within the sect, status was strictly defined. Huang Li's bowing made the servants both excited and happy for Yu Changsheng.

But Yu Changsheng remained vigilant, and he didn't believe a single word Huang Li said.

Because actions can be faked, but when you want to kill someone, your eyes can't hide it. Huang Li's eyes made him secretly wary.

Back in the courtyard, everyone dispersed.

Yu Changsheng summoned the Crimson Serpent King by making a hand seal.

Is it time for dinner again?

The Crimson Serpent King stared at its master with some surprise.

Because it has a big appetite, it often needs to eat two meals a day. In the past, in the Beast Garden, it ate first-level demon meat mixed with other meats, but after following Yu Changsheng, it has never eaten demon meat and has only eaten ordinary pork.

However, it also understood that it wasn't that its master was stingy, but that he was really poor. How could a monthly wage of four hundred spirit coins afford demon meat? So it didn't complain. It even saved money on pork whenever possible.

Seeing the Crimson Serpent King's surprise, Yu Changsheng spread a cloth on the ground, took out the corpse of the Poisonous Spirit Python from the system space, and laughed.

"I'll give you an extra treat today!"

Upon seeing the demon flesh, the Crimson Serpent King's eyes lit up. He then leaned over and licked the flesh with his tongue, sensing the toxins within.

It raised its head and looked at Yu Changsheng with a questioning gaze.

Is this meat really edible?

I'm only at the fourth level of the first tier, and I feel like I can't digest the toxins in this meat!

Although both are snakes, the first-level, seventh-stage Poisonous Spirit Python is much stronger than it. Even though the head and gallbladder of this corpse have been removed, and several days of demonic energy have dissipated, the toxins in the flesh and blood are still very strong.

If it were any other spirit beast, it would be poisoned and foam at the mouth after just one lick, which is why the Crimson Serpent King asked Yu Changsheng uncertainly when it felt its forked tongue go numb.

In its eyes, its master must be an experienced beast tamer, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to transform itself with just a touch!

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems." Yu Changsheng was so sure because the system's information had already popped up.

[Integration into Ancestor]

[Success Rate: Red Serpent King + Poisonous Python Corpse = 99%]

[Consumed: 1300 Essence]

With a 99% success rate, it's obvious that it can work!

Of course, there's also the possibility of being unlucky and encountering that 1% who end up being poisoned to death by the Red Serpent King.

Yu Changsheng believed he was lucky and couldn't possibly be that unlucky, so he initiated the fusion.

Upon hearing his master's affirmative words, the Crimson Serpent King's expression hardened, and he opened his mouth wide to swallow the corpse of the Poisonous Spirit Python.

"Gurgle!"

The process of swallowing was slow because the corpse was very long.

The Red Serpent King also needs to desperately digest the toxins inside.

Half an hour later, the Red Serpent King finally closed its stiff mouth and swallowed the entire corpse, at which point its body swelled up considerably.

A terrible toxin infected its flesh and blood, and its dark red scales were tinged with blue.

That was exactly the color of the Venomous Python's scales!

Yu Changsheng stroked the Red Serpent King's head, feeling nervous.

The Poisonous Python has very poor defense; its weakness is unnecessary, so don't try to fuse with it.

[Integration Complete]

[Result: The Crimson Serpent King's gallbladder acquired the venom of the Poisonous Python, imbuing its attacks with a flesh-corroding venom. The stronger the enemy's resistance, the more potent the venom. Excessive use of the venom will cause the Crimson Serpent King's scales to become brittle, reducing its defensive capabilities.]

Upon seeing the system's message, Yu Changsheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This result is within his acceptable range; as long as the amount of toxin is controlled, the Red Serpent King's defense will remain the same.

At the same time, the Red Serpent King's belly gradually flattened.

It was surprised to find that its snake gallbladder had turned blue.

Moreover, it contains the venom of the Venomous Python that it is familiar with!

Did I acquire the abilities of the Poisonous Python?

How could this be!

The Crimson Serpent King opened its mouth wide, staring in utter shock at Yu Changsheng's palm.

How many functions do these hands still have?

Yu Changsheng also received another system message.

[You have successfully fed a Crimson Serpent King, consuming 1 Poisonous Spirit Python's fragmented corpse, and received a reward of 150 Essence Points.]
