I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 258: Chapter 237: Massive Improvement

After the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower auction, things don’t typically end right then and there. An evening reception is held afterward.

The purpose is to entertain the guests who have come from far and wide, giving them an opportunity to get acquainted and trade freely. Throughout the event, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower provides the venue and services free of charge, including things like Spirit Water and Spirit Fruits, and even acts as a guarantor for trades.

This has become one of the hallmarks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower’s auctions. As a result, many people who don’t even plan on bidding still come just for this reception.

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Tower’s service is so thorough and thoughtful."

Yu Changsheng mused as he watched long tables being set up in the center of the spacious hall. Plate after plate of Spirit Fruits was laid out, with Spirit Plants serving as decoration.

The hall was already bustling with activity. Simple, makeshift stalls had been set up all around. The owners were not from the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower but were attendees of the auction. In the corners, staff from the Ten Thousand Beasts Tower had been temporarily reassigned to handle security.

All in all, it was a lively scene, with the sound of hawking filling the air.

"Of course. The Ten Thousand Beasts Tower’s services are actually quite comprehensive, though our core business still revolves around Spirit Beasts."

"Aside from the Beast Masters who frequent the tower, we get plenty of other Cultivators and customers as well."

Li Minghan explained slowly from beside him, "Changsheng, if you’re interested, you can go take a look. With a bit of luck, you might stumble upon a hidden gem."

"No, that’s alright," Yu Changsheng said with a chuckle, waving his hand. "It’s getting late. I should head back. I have the competition tomorrow, so I need to make sure I’m in peak condition."

With his Divine Sense, he had already scanned every stall in the hall. If there had been a real treasure, it wouldn’t have escaped his notice. Unfortunately, nothing caught his eye.

"Alright, let’s head back. It is getting late."

Li Minghan nodded. He walked ahead of Yu Changsheng, got his bearings, and then the two of them flew toward Beast Taming Peak, one behind the other.

Outside, a bright moon hung high in the sky. Its light, like liquid silver, parted the clouds and washed over the heavens, turning the sprinkling of stars into mere attendants.

Beneath the moon, their figures shot across the vast expanse like two streaks of light, racing onward.

Along the way, Yu Changsheng looked up at the moon high above, his expression lost in thought. The rushing wind rustled his robes, and a few strands of his dark hair danced in the night air, spiraling down toward the forest below.

’The Cultivation Realm is a vast and wonderful place. Once my Cultivation is higher and I can protect myself, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go out and see it. Wanxiang Sect is just too small.’

’For now, I just need to lay low and focus on steady growth...’

Yu Changsheng murmured to himself. He closed his eyes for a moment. Before long, Beast Taming Peak was in sight. After bidding each other farewell, they headed for their respective cave residences.

WHOOSH...

After returning to his cave residence, Yu Changsheng slowly let out a breath of white vapor. Once he’d regulated his breathing, he took the Wen Longyu and the beast hide from his Storage Pouch, placed them together, and fell into thought.

’Could both of these have belonged to Cao Jinxian?’

He watched the beast hide, which was now faintly warm and glowing, and the Wen Longyu, which was emitting a starlike blue light. His gaze was profound. As soon as he placed them together, the beast hide suddenly trembled.

Yu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed as he observed it closely.

Unfortunately, after that single tremor, the beast hide fell silent again. It remained completely unresponsive, no matter how Yu Changsheng handled it.

’This feeling... Is something missing?’

Yu Changsheng fell silent as various thoughts flashed through his mind. After trying again for a while and confirming it was still unresponsive, he had no choice but to put the items away.

’I’ll have to find another opportunity to look into this. Regardless of whether my suspicions are correct, I’m now out of Spirit Stones and I owe Li Minghan a favor. Sigh.’

’Maybe Master will know something when he gets back.’

Shaking his head, he pushed the matter to the back of his mind. With a thought, he called up his system panel.

[Remaining Essence Points: 280,000]

...

After more than three months of accumulation, his Essence Points had reached an unprecedented, staggering amount.

Looking at that long string of zeros, Yu Changsheng’s fingers began to itch, his eyes full of anticipation.

’Nearly three hundred thousand Essence Points. That should be enough for a major upgrade! With the Beast Taming competition happening over the next two days, if I use them all, my strength will surely skyrocket!’

He was eager to begin, but he knew he had to be smart about it. He already had a decent number of skills and techniques. While two hundred and eighty thousand Essence Points seemed like a lot, it wasn’t nearly enough to upgrade everything. He would have to be selective.

’Since I have competitions these next two days, I should focus on upgrading my offensive abilities first.’

Yu Changsheng mused, making his decision.

It was worth noting that the proficiency levels of these techniques also increased naturally as Yu Changsheng’s Cultivation rose and as he practiced them.
