Chapter 348: Chapter 282: Journey to Huishui Mountain

"Alright, thank you, Elder Yang."

Yu Changsheng nodded, a grateful expression on his face. He gave Yang Tianyi a calm, cupped-fist salute before taking his leave and returning to his residence not long after.

[Consumed one Solid Spirit Nourishing Essence Pill. Successfully fed to the Red Purgatory Dragon. Obtained 10,000 Essence Points!]

[Consumed one Solid Spirit Nourishing Essence Pill. Successfully fed to the Golden-Winged Eagle. Obtained 10,000 Essence Points!]

[Consumed one Solid Spirit Nourishing Essence Pill. Successfully fed to the Colorful Star Deer. Obtained 10,000 Essence Points!]

[Consumed...]

...

Casually feeding the four elixirs to his four Spirit Beasts, the influx of forty thousand Essence Points left Yu Changsheng feeling even more delighted.

Looking at the four Spirit Beasts, who were in a state of Euphoria after swallowing the elixirs, Yu Changsheng smiled faintly. He patted the Red Purgatory Dragon, a wave of emotion washing over him.

Over the past year, thanks to his Spirit Communication Dao Body, he had naturally reached the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer even without deliberately focusing on his Cultivation.

And under his feeding regimen of one small elixir a day and one large elixir a week, the Red Purgatory Dragon was still at the Tier Two Ninth Layer, while the Colorful Star Deer and the Golden-Winged Eagle had both reached the Tier Two Seventh Layer, not far from the Eighth Layer.

As for the Profound Yin Illusion Turtle, the moment Yu Changsheng had his own breakthrough, it had also naturally broken through to the Tier Two Eighth Layer.

’It’s just a shame... Although I can attempt Core Formation now, if I don’t perfect this Eighth-Layer Spirit Platform first, it just feels like something will be lacking.’

Feeling the surging Cultivation within his body, Yu Changsheng frowned and sighed to himself. Shaking his head, he recalled his four beasts into his Inner Realm and started walking toward Zhang Tianwen’s residence at the summit of Beast Taming Peak.

He soon arrived at Zhang Tianwen’s cave residence. To Yu Changsheng’s surprise, Li Minghan was there as well.

Over the past year, for reasons Yu Changsheng didn’t know, Li Minghan’s relationship with Zhang Tianwen had become much closer.

When they saw Yu Changsheng arrive, Zhang Tianwen and Li Minghan immediately stood up. After pouring Yu Changsheng a cup of tea, Zhang Tianwen smiled faintly:

"Just finished your Alchemy, right? These days, Changsheng, your reputation within the sect is really getting bigger and bigger."

"I heard that a few days ago, the senior-most sister from Magic Peak had someone send you a love letter, inviting you to admire the moon and have dinner together. What, you didn’t go?"

Zhang Tianwen chuckled, his tone holding no envy, only friendly teasing.

"Was there?" Yu Changsheng scratched his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head with a purse of his lips. "I think there might have been. I don’t remember clearly."

"You’re really something else, forgetting a thing like that. I’ve seen that senior-most sister from Magic Peak—her Cultivation and looks are both absolutely top-tier. For her to be making eyes at you, and you don’t even appreciate it."

Li Minghan clicked his tongue in amazement from the side, his expression wistful and a little envious.

"Can’t be helped," Yu Changsheng said, glancing at Li Minghan with a pout and a dismissive wave. "I get a pile of love letters almost every week. I have no idea who sends them, so naturally, I don’t pay much attention."

"You kid... who says things like that?" Zhang Tianwen shook his head with a smile and slowly sipped his tea.

Li Minghan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Yu Changsheng, utterly speechless.

Yu Changsheng chuckled, taking a sip of the Spirit Tea. The swirling Spiritual Qi rose like steam, casting a hazy veil over the scene before him.

On this matter, Yu Changsheng wasn’t joking. With his rising Cultivation and his status as a Tier Three Alchemist, it was only natural that many in the Wanxiang Sect had taken notice of him as a rising star.

He wasn’t unattractive to begin with, and his constant Cultivation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique, along with his Spirit Communication Dao Body, gave him a transcendental aura, an alluring temperament, and boundless charm. Under such circumstances, it was true that many female disciples had made eyes at him, and he had received quite a few love letters.

However, Yu Changsheng wasn’t interested in any of it.

After the three chatted for a while, Zhang Tianwen’s expression grew serious as he got down to business.

"Alright, I called you both here for something else. I’m planning to take a trip outside the sect, and I was wondering if you’d be interested."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Tianwen looked up at Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan and said softly:

"Recently, I’ve been asking around about any Celestial and Earthly Treasures that can restore a Spirit Platform. Of course, such treasures are incredibly scarce. I’ve chased down quite a few leads, but they all turned out to be nothing more than rumors."

"However, a few days ago, I received a very promising tip. Rumor has it that traces of Nascent Building Grass have appeared deep within Huishui Mountain, and I’d like to go check it out."

Upon hearing this, Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan exchanged a look, their eyes flickering as they sank into thought.

Yu Changsheng was no stranger to Nascent Building Grass. It was a well-known Celestial and Earthly Treasure, confirmed to be able to solidify one’s Spirit Platform and assist in cultivation breakthroughs. It would even be somewhat useful for him.

Yu Changsheng was well aware of Zhang Tianwen’s situation. The reason he hadn’t attempted to break through to the Golden Core realm for so many years was that he was waiting for an opportunity to restore his Eighth-Layer Spirit Platform first.

Now that he had news like this, he naturally wouldn’t give up on it easily, no matter how slim the chance.

After only a moment’s thought, Yu Changsheng nodded and grinned at Zhang Tianwen.

"Huishui Mountain, huh? I’ve heard there are plenty of other rare and precious Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Grasses there. That’s perfect; I need ingredients for my Alchemy, so I’ll go with you."

All the ingredients he currently used for Alchemy were provided by Yang Tianyi, but it wasn’t right to just keep taking without contributing. Therefore, if there was an opportunity to go out and gather more, it would be for the best.
