I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 289: Chapter 252: Visitors from the Purple Rainbow Sect (2)

After placing Yu Changsheng on the Spirit Jade Bed, Zhang Tianwen observed him, secretly astonished.

"It’s nothing. Changsheng fought hard in this battle. He deserves it," Li Minghan said with a magnanimous smile.

"Mm." Zhang Tianwen turned, gave Li Minghan a long, meaningful look, and nodded.

He then smiled gently, looking at the slightly reserved Sun Shihan standing nearby, and said in a soft voice,

"Then for the next few days, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to look after Junior Brother Changsheng. I have to go attend to some matters for Master."

As he spoke, Zhang Tianwen tapped his forehead. He turned back to Li Minghan and added,

"Oh, right, there’s also Junior Brother Li’s upcoming ranking competition. That will keep us busy for a while."

"Alright," Sun Shihan nodded gently, her expression soft.

"Huh?" After giving his instructions, Zhang Tianwen’s gaze wandered back to Yu Changsheng, and he let out a sound of surprise.

’The cultivation technique this fellow practices is truly bizarre.’ After muttering to himself, Zhang Tianwen shook his head. Without giving it much more thought, he took his leave.

On the Spirit Jade Bed, color gradually returned to Yu Changsheng’s face. The Life-Returning Pill was taking effect. Ruined flesh began to regenerate, and his wounds scabbed over.

The Spiritual Mist throughout the courtyard began to surge, flowing into Yu Changsheng’s body drop by drop, continuously nourishing his physical form. The Ten Thousand Spirits Technique activated on its own. For a time, a dense Dao Rhyme permeated the heavens and the earth.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Technique inherently possessed healing properties. In such a conducive environment, its effects were immediate. So much so that even in his unconscious state, Yu Changsheng was unaware that his cultivation had slowly begun to increase.

「Three days passed in a flash.」

For Yu Changsheng, those three days passed without his awareness. It felt like a deep, comfortable sleep. When he awoke, the sky was bright. A rising sun had pierced the darkness, dyeing the mist of Spiritual Qi with a golden radiance.

"Nngh...!"

His eyes slowly fluttered open. A trace of confusion flickered in their depths before quickly giving way to clarity. After a long stretch, Yu Changsheng swept his surroundings with his Divine Sense. Understanding the situation, he slowly let out a breath.

’My injuries have completely healed, and my cultivation has advanced to the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer without me even realizing it. Not bad.’

After slowly limbering up, Yu Changsheng smiled. He could feel the surging qi and blood and the vibrant cultivation within him. His Fourth-Layer Spirit Platform was completely solidified, and his Fifth-Layer Spirit Platform was already about thirty percent formed.

’It seems an all-out battle like that is the best way to break through a bottleneck.’

Lost in thought, Yu Changsheng turned his Divine Sense inward to his Inner Realm. His three Imperial Beasts were still sleeping, but their injuries had almost completely healed.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Technique connected them all. As Yu Changsheng healed, the three Spirit Beasts were nourished as well. After three days, they had almost fully recovered.

"You’re awake? Are you still feeling any discomfort?"

The door opened, and a graceful, lovely figure appeared. She wore an azure robe that seemed to shimmer in the light of the rising sun. A faint, pleasant fragrance drifted from her jet-black hair. As she walked in, the very air seemed to soften around her. Her voice was like silver bells, and her figure was stunning. It was, of course, Sun Shihan.

Yu Changsheng was momentarily stunned, but then a smile bloomed on his face. He cupped his fist in salute to Sun Shihan. "Thank you for looking after me these past few days, Senior Sister Sun."

"Senior Brother Zhang and Li Minghan will be here shortly. I heard that distinguished guests are visiting the Wanxiang Sect today, so the two of them went to receive them. You’ve rested for three days; you must be feeling much better."

Sun Shihan shook her head slightly, her voice gentle.

"I see," Yu Changsheng nodded, his expression grateful. He thought for a moment before asking, "The competition between the sects is over, then?"

"It officially ended the day before yesterday." Sun Shihan looked up, an inexplicable light dancing in her beautiful eyes as she smiled softly. "Unsurprisingly, you took first place. It’s truly astonishing. In such a short time, you’ve left us all in the dust."

"Which means I’ll need you to take care of me even more in the future."

Yu Changsheng scratched his nose and grinned.

’First place... Everything seemed to go a little too smoothly.’ Yu Changsheng mused, an answer slowly forming in his mind. ’Is it because I’m inside the Wanxiang Sect, blessed by its karmic fortune...?’

This "fortune" was an ethereal, intangible thing, yet its existence was very real. In the Cultivation Realm, especially, its importance had been proven time and again.

Yu Changsheng had to admit that luck had played a significant part in this competition, allowing him to ultimately overcome all his rivals and take first place.

’Oh well, luck is a part of strength,’ he thought. Shaking his head, he pushed the thoughts aside. As he was pondering, Sun Shihan thought for a moment, then slowly took out a Storage Pouch. She placed it in front of him and said gently,

"These are your rewards for first place. Everything is in here. If there’s anything extra, it’s a bonus from Peak Master Mo. He said you earned it."

Yu Changsheng nodded and accepted the Storage Pouch. He swept it with his Divine Sense, and after a quick inspection, he understood its contents.

’One hundred thousand Spirit Stones, one Condensation Platform Pill, six Spirit Ascension Beast Pills, and one Life-Returning Pill...’

Yu Changsheng mused. He was surprised, yet it was also within his expectations.

’Peak Master Mo is quite generous. He gave me an extra three Spirit Ascension Beast Pills and another Life-Returning Pill...’

’And besides those... this must be the Spirit Dragon Blood.’

Sensing the orb of blood faintly glowing red inside a Jade Bottle, Yu Changsheng’s interest was piqued. He examined it carefully with his Divine Sense.

The glob of blood was about the size of half a fist, shimmering with a crimson light. As he drew his sense closer, he could faintly hear a Dragon’s Roar echoing deep within his mind.

The crimson light was hazy, and within it, the phantom of a world-shaking dragon flickered in and out of existence. A faint yet vast draconic might seemed to press down on him, crossing from ancient times and through the void of space, making the very air tremble.

’Spirit Dragon Blood... this is good stuff. It can enhance the bloodline potential of an Imperial Beast and even has a chance of instilling a trace of a dragon-type bloodline. It would be perfect if I had a Dragon-type Imperial Beast.’

After some deliberation, Yu Changsheng made his decision. He withdrew his Divine Sense and smiled at Sun Shihan. "Peak Master Mo is indeed a generous man. But who are the distinguished guests you mentioned earlier, Senior Sister?"

"They’re from the Purple Rainbow Sect." Before Sun Shihan could answer, the figures of Zhang Tianwen and Li Minghan appeared in the doorway. Li Minghan smiled at Yu Changsheng with a look of concern and added, "It’s Qing Zhu Master from the Purple Rainbow Sect. He’s come to visit with his disciple."

"This Qing Zhu Master is extremely powerful, and his own master is a Supreme Elder of the Purple Rainbow Sect. Our sect wouldn’t dare be neglectful and is treating this visit with great importance," Zhang Tianwen explained.

He nodded at Yu Changsheng with a smile. "Not bad. You look almost fully recovered. It seems the special recovery room this kid, Li Minghan, picked out was actually effective."

"The Purple Rainbow Sect?" Yu Changsheng paused, then turned to Li Minghan, his eyes filled with gratitude. "I’ve really troubled you, Brother Li."

"It’s nothing, really. It was the least I could do. I’m just glad you recovered so quickly." Li Minghan waved his hand dismissively, then let out a sly grin. "Besides, watching you beat up Yang Chengxu was more than enough. He must have been seriously injured. Just thinking about it makes me feel great."

"Hah! The Spirit Dragon Sect really suffered a double loss this time. They’ve completely lost all face! Now let’s see who dares to keep spreading those rumors that the Wanxiang Sect’s Beast Taming Peak is inferior to theirs. We’ll see who follows the true orthodox path!"

Li Minghan cackled, his voice filled with righteous indignation.

Yu Changsheng was left speechless. He just shook his head and didn’t say a word.

"That said, Changsheng, from now on you’ll need to be even more wary of the people from the Spirit Dragon Sect."

Zhang Tianwen nodded with a smile from the side. After a moment of thought, he said:

"Both Tang Chen’s death and Yang Chengxu’s defeat were because of you. I’m afraid many Spirit Dragon Sect disciples now hate you to the bone. You need to be extra careful. Especially Yang Chengxu. Given his pride, there’s no way he’ll take a defeat like that lying down."

"For the time being, it’s best not to leave the sect unless absolutely necessary. They wouldn’t dare try anything within the sect’s borders, so it’s relatively safe here."

Yu Changsheng nodded, listening to Zhang Tianwen’s concerned words and growing thoughtful.

’Tang Chen died at my hands, and Yang Chengxu was defeated by me. Both were a huge slap in the face to the Spirit Dragon Sect. This exchange competition turned their sect into a complete joke.’

’So, to a certain extent, I really am in danger, especially since I’ve made a mortal enemy of Yang Chengxu.’
