Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

On the vast coastline, the dock was bustling with people, but also in good order. There were countless monks coming and going. No matter what their cultivation level or race were, they all chose to restrain themselves the moment they landed on the island.

Around the edge of the harbor, at intervals, there were monks in armor standing solemnly with guns in hand. Although their cultivation was not outstanding, no one looked down on them, let alone treated them arrogantly. Instead, they all obeyed the order and lined up to go to the island.

Because this is the Sea Beast Island. Even the Lower Sea Beast Island is under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy Land. Compared with the surrounding waters, the public security and order are undoubtedly much better.

Yu Changsheng and his group did not stop. After paying a certain amount of island landing fee, they put away the spirit boat and arrived at the Sea Beast Island.

"call……"

The feeling of being on solid ground again made Yu Changsheng let out a long breath. A look of trance involuntarily appeared on his face. He felt the surrounding environment and raised his brows slightly.

"Only when you come here can you feel how amazing the holy land is. The richness of the spiritual energy on the lower island alone is almost comparable to the spiritual energy I experienced in the Luoya Abyss."

"No wonder, even among the outer disciples, there are so many people willing to come here."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, as if thinking about something, and looked up at Old Wei standing beside him.

"Master, where are we going now? Should we follow the crowd and participate in the disciple-taking test of the Sea Beast Sky Island?"

Elder Wei pondered, lowered his brows and took out the communication jade tube. After operating it for a while, he smiled lightly and said in a deep voice:

"No need. I have already contacted my old friend in advance when I was on the boat. Let's wait here for a while. He will come to pick us up soon."

"It's been many years since I last saw you. I miss you so much, haha."

"okay."

Yu Changsheng nodded, looking obedient.

Shi Huishan and the other two sighed inwardly when they saw this. After thinking for a while, Shi Huishan clasped his fists, stepped forward, bowed to Yu Changsheng and Old Wei, and spoke softly:
"In that case, the three of us brothers will not disturb you, Yu Changsheng, and we will part ways now. If nothing unexpected happens, the three of us brothers should be able to become outer disciples smoothly. If you need anything, just let us know. We will definitely go to great lengths to help you."

"Yeah. Take care."

Yu Changsheng nodded, his heart calm. He watched Shi Huishan and the other two go away under the guidance of the person on duty here to participate in the disciple-taking test. Then he and Old Wei found a shady place and waited quietly.

"Master, what position does your old friend hold in this Sea Beast Island? I haven't seen you for so many years, can you still recognize me?"

While waiting, Yu Changsheng asked curiously.

"As for the position, it is just an ordinary elder in the Sea Beast Island. I am not sure what exactly he is responsible for."

Old Wei stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and smiled gently.

"Although we haven't seen each other for so many years, my old friend has a gentle personality and is very trustworthy. I had a close relationship with him in the past. Since we are new here, it would be better if he introduces us to us. We don't have to worry about him having any bad intentions. I still trust him as a person."

"Oh," Yu Changsheng thought for a moment, hesitated, and asked tentatively, "Then, Master, is your friend here on the Lower Sea Beast Island or the Upper Sea Beast Island?"

Old Wei frowned, glared at the words, and said unhappily:
"My old friend, how could he be an ordinary cultivator? He must be in Shanghai Beast Sky Island. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to come look for him."

"Ordinary elders of the Lower Sea Beast Sky Island don't have much say."

"What about his cultivation?"

Yu Changsheng asked again.

"Hua Shen Zhen Zun," Elder Wei glanced at Yu Changsheng and said calmly, "If you want to be an elder in Shanghai Beast Sky Island, you must at least have the cultivation level of Hua Shen Zhen Zun, and this is just an ordinary elder."

Yu Changsheng was startled, smacked his tongue secretly, and muttered:
"The ordinary elders have the cultivation level of the Divine Transformation. Looking at the entire Wuzhou, there are not many True Divine Transformation Elders. It is worthy of being a holy land, famous in the whole region, and its foundation is indeed not simple."

"That's natural."

Elder Wei was filled with emotion and said, "Looking at the many holy places in Xuantian Realm, although Sea Beast Island is not the best among them, even the most ordinary holy place is more powerful than you can imagine."

"Among them, the Divine Transformation is just an ordinary elder, while the Holy Lord is even more mysterious and unpredictable, possessing the power of the heavens..."

.........

.........

Not long after the two of them talked, a voice with a hint of laughter sounded quietly from the side and suddenly reached their ears:

"Brother Wei, long time no see."

Yu Changsheng and Old Wei were both stunned at the same time. They turned around to look with shock.

However, they didn't know when a figure came towards them. This person walked silently, without any fluctuations, and his aura was restrained, so much so that neither Yu Changsheng nor Old Wei noticed it in advance.

He was dressed in a plain long gown, with fluttering sleeves, as if carrying the faint fragrance of books. He was slender and upright, like a vigorous pine tree, with an extraordinary temperament. His face was thin, his features were regular, and his eyebrows were gentle and wise. His eyes were deep and bright, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, piercing with spirit. His nose was straight, his lips were slightly pursed, and he always had a faint smile, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"Brother Chen!"

Mr. Wei was suddenly excited, a hint of red quickly covered his slightly old face, and he replied with a smile on his face.

The person who came was Wei's old friend and elder of Shanghai Beast Island, Chen Wencai.

"Long time no see. It's rare that Brother Wei still remembers me. That's great."

Chen Wencai chuckled, took a few steps forward, and smiled calmly. His gestures did not reveal the demeanor of a powerful spirit-transforming master, but rather a peaceful and calm aura. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, neither angry nor resentful, and displayed a refined demeanor, like a teacher teaching in the mortal world.

Therefore, when he appeared, he did not attract much attention from the people around him. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, the elders of the holy land leaving the island would have caused a stir.

Yu Changsheng looked at him sideways, and he quickly suppressed his suspicion, lowered his eyebrows and clasped his fists, with a respectful look on his face. He greeted Chen Wencai respectfully and bowed to him:
"Junior Yu Changsheng, greetings to Senior Chen."

Chen Wencai's eyes moved and fell on Yu Changsheng. A trace of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face remained calm and he said gently:
"As expected of Brother Wei, he is a handsome man with outstanding talent. At such a young age, he has already reached the Purple Mansion level. Even in my Sea Beast Island, he is still a talented genius."

"Brother Wei is lucky to have a disciple like you."

Chen Wencai said with a chuckle, his tone was full of joking. Elder Wei frowned immediately, but just smiled and shook his head. When he looked up, a hint of pride naturally appeared on his face, and he snorted:
"You may envy me for having such a disciple, but don't think of taking him away. He is my disciple and no one can take him away."

“Hahaha, yes, yes,” Chen Wencai laughed loudly, suppressing the surprise in his eyes, and said, “If I hadn’t known that he was Boss Wei’s disciple, even I would have been tempted to accept him as my disciple.”

"Thank you for your praise, Senior. It is all because of Master's good teaching. I am a dull disciple, but I have achieved something thanks to Master's care."

Yu Changsheng answered respectfully.

"Yeah, that's good. I think my love for you is not in vain."

Mr. Wei nodded with a smile, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"My dear nephew, please don't be too modest. Brother Wei alone cannot teach a genius like you. Okay, let's not leave. We two brothers haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. I have prepared good wine and good food. You two have come from afar, so I will definitely treat you well."

Chen Wencai laughed and glanced at Mr. Wei, his tone was sad and his eyes were a little dazed. He walked in front to clear the way for the two people. The three of them were communicating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a long time. The main reason is that the two regions are far apart. It's difficult to come here unless it's necessary."

Old Wei nodded and let out a deep breath.

"It's a rare opportunity for us to meet, but I'm really ashamed to trouble Brother Chen again."

Mr. Wei sighed softly.

"Don't you think it's strange for us to talk about this between brothers?"

Chen Wencai frowned slightly, with a hint of anger in his tone, and said:
"These are nothing but trivial matters. It's no big deal. But after so long, you still remember having a brother like me. For that, I am grateful enough."

Chen Wencai said this with a slightly raised eyebrow, but his expression was full of sincerity and honesty, which was very touching.

Even Elder Wei was slightly startled, a trace of apology appeared on his face, and he shook his head and disappeared, smiling:

"Hearing what Brother Chen said, I feel relieved. After so many years, Brother Chen hasn't changed at all."

"I'm just going to muddle along. I'm happy to have an idle job in this holy land. The day is boring. Fortunately, you're here this time. We can drink and chat happily again. Isn't it happy?"

Chen Wencai laughed, and as they walked, under the leadership of Chen Wencai, they approached a luxuriously decorated restaurant.

Yu Changsheng looked up and glanced at the name of the restaurant, which was Zuixianju.

Soon, a waiter came up to serve respectfully. He bowed slightly and invited Yu Changsheng and the other two to enter the restaurant. He said with a smile:
"Do you need anything to eat or drink? All the ingredients in our store are specially processed spiritual objects. Eating them will also increase your cultivation. There will be no impurities from grains, so please rest assured."

"Well, arrange a good private room, bring two bottles of good wine, and then serve all the specialties of the restaurant."

This was obviously not the first time Chen Wencai came here. After giving a few skilled instructions, he was led up to the attic by the waiter and sat down in a private room on the top floor.

"Please wait a moment, the food will be ready soon, please be patient."

The waiter smiled and walked out of the private room, then he waved his sleeves lightly and activated the formation inside the room. Suddenly, a rich spiritual energy came out, like a layer of mist slowly seeping out from the floor, filling the entire room and invigorating people.

Yu Changsheng looked at the waiter's background, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was secretly surprised.

"A waiter has reached the Golden Core level. It seems that Zuixianju is no ordinary restaurant."

Yu Changsheng muttered to himself, but Chen Wencai laughed, picked up the tea on the table, poured a cup for Wei Lao and Yu Changsheng, and said with a smile:

"I come to Zuixianju quite often on weekdays, but I usually come alone. Drinking alone is really boring. Finally, you, Brother Wei, came today and were able to accompany me to have a few drinks to relieve my boredom."

Elder Wei stroked his beard and smiled, "Now that you say that, it seems like I am honored. Fortunately, Brother Chen has remained the same character after all these years. He hasn't changed at all."

"What's the big deal? Brother Wei, do you think that I would rely on my title as a holy land elder to be isolated?"

Chen Wencai waved his hand, took a sip of tea, pursed his lips and said:

"They are just empty names. It is hard to find someone to talk to in this holy land. I practice all day but there is no hope of breakthrough. Sometimes I think it is better to indulge in the mountains and rivers, just like when we were young, we can have a good time in this continent and see everywhere."

Chen Wencai chuckled, and after he finished speaking, a hint of nostalgia appeared on his face.

Elder Wei pondered, his expression changed, he took a sip of tea and swallowed it, his Adam's apple moving slightly: "You are quite free and easy, but after so many years, Brother Chen, you have become a god, but I have wasted countless years, and now I am only a purple mansion, and I am getting old."

Old Wei smiled bitterly, his eyes darkening slightly.

Chen Wencai frowned slightly, was silent for a while, and said:

"Brother Wei, don't be discouraged. With your qualifications, you shouldn't have stopped here. I have some connections on the Sea Beast Island. I'll go to the Alchemy Peak and see if I can get some elixirs that can increase your lifespan. That will be helpful."

"Don't bother me, Brother Chen. Don't worry. I won't die in the short term."

Mr. Wei laughed, shook his head and changed the subject.

Yu Changsheng listened quietly at the side. He was silent for a long time without saying anything, but ripples were slightly rising in his heart.

The normal lifespan of a Purple Mansion True Lord is only about three thousand years, and it may fluctuate depending on physical differences. As for Elder Wei, he has already lived for more than thousands of years, from the founding of the Wanxiang Sect to this point.

Although he has a special method to stay alive, after such a long time, he is indeed old and has entered his twilight years as Mr. Wei himself said.

If one does not break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage, his life span will come to an end.

These things were only just revealed by Chen Wencai, which in turn caused ripples in Yu Changsheng's heart and made him think deeply.

"I'll have to ask Master for a pill to increase my lifespan later..."

Yu Changsheng thought to himself. (End of this chapter)
