I Tame Beasts by Feeding

Chapter 293: Chapter 254: Enhancement (Part 2)

’Don’t rush. Take it slow.’

With these thoughts, Yu Changsheng no longer hesitated. He carefully tossed two Spirit Ascension Beast Pills into the mouths of each of his three Spirit Beasts.

His guiding principle was simple: fairness. The issue wasn’t scarcity, but inequality.

[Two Spirit Ascension Beast Pills consumed. Successfully fed to the Red Refining Snake! 10,000 Essence Points gained!]

[Two Spirit Ascension Beast Pills consumed. Successfully fed to the Colorful Star Deer! 10,000 Essence Points gained!]

[Consumed...]

...

Listening to the system notifications in his mind, another thirty thousand Essence Points in hand, Yu Changsheng smiled faintly. He snapped his fingers, feeling refreshed in both body and mind.

The effects of the Spirit Ascension Beast Pills were incredibly obvious. What’s more, Yu Changsheng had fed them two pills at once, so the results were instantaneous.

He watched as the bodies of his three Spirit Beasts slowly began to heat up. Their auras fluctuated, deep growls echoed, and vortices of Spiritual Qi gathered around them once more.

"Promote slowly now, don’t rush. It’s okay."

Yu Changsheng soothed them from the side. Just in case, he maintained a gentle expression as he let the aura of his Ten Thousand Spirits Technique flow over his three Spirit Beasts, gently guiding their auras.

ROAR!

About an hour later, their auras surged, and a faint light began to emanate from the three Spirit Beasts.

[Colorful Star Deer has successfully advanced to Tier Two Third Layer!]

[Red Refining Snake has successfully advanced to Tier Two Third Layer!]

[Golden-winged Roc has successfully advanced to Tier Two Third Layer!]

As the three consecutive notifications sounded, Yu Changsheng’s smile widened. The corresponding Cultivation feedback arrived at the same time.

However, at Yu Changsheng’s current Realm, this feedback wasn’t enough to push him to a breakthrough. But it did allow him to completely solidify his Realm, which had been slightly unstable after his recent advancement, and even take it a step further.

"Good, good, good. Tier Two Third Layer, almost Tier Two Fourth Layer. Not bad."

Yu Changsheng nodded in satisfaction, a wide smile on his face as he watched his three excited Spirit Beasts.

The Golden-Winged Eagle chirped lightly, the Red Refining Snake slithered about, and the Colorful Star Deer affectionately nuzzled Yu Changsheng’s face. The auras of all three Spirit Beasts were far more profound than before.

’Tier Two Middle Stage...’ Yu Changsheng mused.

The way Spirit Beasts broke through Realms was different from how Cultivators did. This was particularly true for the equivalent of the Foundation Establishment Realm, which lacked the precise divisions of human cultivation. The so-called Layers within Tier Two were merely classifications based on the strength of a Spirit Beast’s aura, meant to correspond to the Layers of a Cultivator’s Foundation Establishment Realm.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it was rare for a Spirit Beast to be at an exact Tier Two Ninth Layer or Tier Two Eighth Layer. A more general classification divided the tier into Early, Middle, and Late Stages.

Generally, once a Spirit Beast reached Tier Two Late Stage, it could attempt its next major breakthrough.

And right now, Yu Changsheng’s three Spirit Beasts had all reached approximately the Tier Two Middle Stage.

’The rewards from the competition are pretty much all used up now. The process was a bit turbulent, but thankfully the results are good. If I run into Yang Chengxu again, I’ll have a better chance of holding my own.’

Yu Changsheng’s brow relaxed. He knew full well that Yang Chengxu would undoubtedly be participating in the Illusion Mist Beast Valley trip in a week’s time, and he had now thoroughly offended the man.

If they met again inside, a conflict would be unavoidable. Therefore, every bit of strength he gained now was another layer of security for when he went in.

’Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer... Before I knew it, I’m almost at the end of the Foundation Establishment Realm...’ Yu Changsheng rubbed his brow, frowning slightly.

’I’ve currently formed a Seventh-Layer Spirit Platform. Five layers are completely solidified, and the sixth is halfway there. It won’t be long before I reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and when that time comes...’

Yu Changsheng fell into deep thought, his lips twitching slightly as he pondered.

’Attempting Core Formation with a Seventh-Layer Spirit Platform... I just can’t bring myself to accept that! I need an Eighth-Layer Spirit Platform, at the very least.’

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, a hesitant look on his face as he considered this.

Although attempting Core Formation with a Seventh-Layer Spirit Platform offered a decent chance of success, the quality of the resulting Golden Core was worlds apart from one formed with an Eighth-Layer Spirit Platform. This, in turn, would determine how far he could go on his path of cultivation in the future.

’Forget it. I’ll just have to see. Maybe I can figure something out.’

Shaking his head, he pushed these thoughts aside. Yu Changsheng lowered his gaze and played with his three Spirit Beasts for a while, a smile returning to his face.

After lingering for a little longer, Yu Changsheng didn’t delay any further. He said a quick word to Li Minghan before leaving the area and returning to his own residence.

The days that followed were much simpler: cultivation, feeding the chickens, and raising his beasts...

It was worth noting that Elder Wei still hadn’t returned. Yu Changsheng’s attempt to visit him was unsuccessful. In the meantime, Zhang Tianwen stopped by once to explain some matters concerning the Illusion Mist Beast Valley. Before he knew it, a week had quietly passed.

「On this day.」

The sunlight was perfect, and the gentle breeze was refreshing. A large crowd had already gathered at the foot of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range within the Wanxiang Sect.

A quick glance revealed that most of them were from Beast Taming Peak. Besides them, Lu Ruikai, Mo Pengchen, and Mu Yongxian were also present. There was also a middle-aged man with a smile in his eyes, chatting casually with the three of them, his expression completely at ease.

"That man is Qing Zhu Master from the Purple Rainbow Sect. The one behind him is his disciple, Meng Wuan."

Zhang Tianwen whispered to Yu Changsheng. Hearing this, Yu Changsheng’s gaze shifted to Qing Zhu Master, observing him discreetly.

Qing Zhu Master had the appearance of a middle-aged man. He was tall and stood ramrod straight, with his long, black hair tied up in a crown. His eyes were bright and sharp; a single glance felt as if it could unleash a piercing Sword Intent that could soar to the heavens. He had a high-bridged nose and wore a green robe embroidered with stalks of green bamboo, adorned with leaves and branches. As for his aura, it felt unfathomably deep to Yu Changsheng.

As for Meng Wuan, who stood behind him, his expression was humble, giving off a gentle and scholarly air. He was handsome with a slender build and refined features. Dressed in a robe of the same style as Qing Zhu Master’s, his identity was self-evident.

In fact, he bore a considerable resemblance to Qing Zhu Master, which made Yu Changsheng pensive.

And just as Yu Changsheng was discreetly observing Meng Wuan, another gaze locked onto him.

It was none other than Yang Chengxu, now fully recovered. His gaze was dark and his expression gloomy. He squinted, staring fixedly in Yu Changsheng’s direction as a flash of hatred crossed his face.

’Yu Changsheng... Inside the Illusion Mist Beast Valley, it’s difficult to even perceive things with one’s Divine Sense. When the time comes...’

Letting out a soft breath, Yang Chengxu withdrew his gaze and his expression returned to normal, appearing indifferent. However, his faintly clenched fists and the killing intent hidden deep in his eyes showed that his heart was anything but calm.

From behind, Meng Wuan shot a calm glance in Yang Chengxu’s direction, a profound look flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Before long, everyone had gathered. Lu Ruikai nodded, then was the first to fly out. His voice boomed like thunder, reaching everyone’s ears.

"The Illusion Mist Beast Valley is the number one Beast Taming Secret Realm on the Martial Continent. I’m sure you have all learned a great deal about it these past few days."

"Today, the disciples of our two sects are gathered. In addition, we have honored guests from the Purple Rainbow Sect who will be entering the Secret Realm alongside you. I hope all disciples will get along peacefully and avoid conflict.

"Within the Beast Valley, there are dangers, but also endless opportunities. How much you gain will depend on your own fortune. But remember this: killing others to steal their treasures is absolutely forbidden. If any such abnormalities are detected, the offender will be immediately expelled from the Secret Realm and severely punished."

"This expedition into the Secret Realm will last for three days. After three days, you will be repelled by the Secret Realm and forcibly teleported out."

...

Lu Ruikai’s voice was like a great bell, vast and resonant. After covering a few more key points, he nodded to Mo Pengchen and the others beside him. With a wave of his hand, a radiant light showered down.

Instantly, the empty space above the Cloud Mist Valley below began to ripple like water. The fluctuations of an Array became apparent as the radiant light flickered and gradually coalesced into a giant, slowly rotating vortex, through which wisps of Spiritual Qi seeped.

"Now, may the top ten contestants from the two sects’ competition enter the Secret Realm and seize your opportunities!"

The crowd erupted. Following Lu Ruikai’s words, streaks of light shot into the vortex like rainbows.

"Let’s go, too." Zhang Tianwen turned and nodded to Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan. The three of them flew into the vortex together.

"You go in as well. Be careful of everything."

Qing Zhu Master turned and instructed Meng Wuan, who was behind him. The latter nodded and transformed into a streak of light, plunging into the vortex.
