Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 271 The Mysterious Old Man!

The Nine Divine Metals are spiritual materials sufficient to refine spiritual treasures. If his Silver Dragon Sword could be refined with the Nine Divine Metals, it would have the potential to be upgraded to a spiritual treasure.

As for the Gengjin essence in Gu Yuan's hand now, its quality is obviously good, but its size is a bit small. It is clearly insufficient to use this Gengjin essence to reforge the Silver Dragon Sword.

"How is it, Senior Brother Gu? Does this suit your taste?"

Yan Xiaoling asked with a smile.

Snapped!
Gu Yuan closed the jade box and said decisively, "This is a good item. I am very satisfied. My two junior sisters can follow me from now on. As long as it's not a big problem, I will handle it."

Finally, he asked, "Where did you two junior sisters obtain this item?"

This piece of Geng metal essence is still a bit too little; if there were another piece, it would probably be just right.

Ji Yuefei smiled and said, "This piece of Gengjin essence was ejected from the lava when we happened to be passing by a volcano during an eruption."

"I see... Your two junior sisters are quite lucky."

Gu Yuan nodded knowingly. This Thousand Flame Mountain is known for producing all kinds of rare and precious materials, and there are also some fine gold and iron ore veins underground. If a volcanic eruption occurs, they may be ejected along with the lava.

Ji Yuefei's explanation is entirely plausible.

Chatting idly, the three headed towards the place where the Crimson Dragon Cave had been before.

When Gu Yuan arrived at the location, he found that a group of people had already gathered there.

There were Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue, as well as a few scattered groups of people.

However, what first caught Gu Yuan's attention was one of the unremarkable, dark-skinned old men.

This person was plain-looking, with dark skin and a thin face full of wrinkles. He would be completely inconspicuous in a crowd and would have a very low profile.

Furthermore, judging from his cultivation level, it doesn't seem to be very high.

However, for some reason, the moment Gu Yuan saw this person, a chill rose from his heart and went straight to the top of his head.

Especially when the old man looked over, a faint sense of crisis filled his heart.

"Who is this old man?"

Gu Yuan didn't know the old man's background or identity, but he instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the dark-skinned, thin old man.

"Could it be..."

Gu Yuan considered a possibility and felt a chill run down his spine.

Besides the dark-skinned, thin old man, Gu Yuan also saw several disciples of Red Leaf Valley, all of whom were the same people who had chased after him before.

These people weren't particularly powerful, but for some reason, they all gave Gu Yuan a sense of danger.

The appearance of Gu Yuan, Ji Yuefei, and Yan Xiaoling also attracted the attention of these people.

"It's actually him!"

"It was this brat who killed Uncle-Master Huofeng and stole the Crimson Fire Pearl from my Red Leaf Valley. He deserves to die!"

"kill him!"

The first to react were the Red Leaf Valley disciples. Upon seeing Gu Yuan, they immediately erupted in excitement, their emotions running high. They glared at Gu Yuan with furious eyes, gritting their teeth, as if they wished they could devour him alive!
After shouting for a while, the group gradually calmed down under the reprimand of one of the slightly older cultivators.

The older cultivator stared coldly at Gu Yuan and said, "Boy, I advise you to hand over the Crimson Fire Pearl obediently, otherwise, Red Leaf Valley will fight you to the death!" "Fight to the death?"

Gu Yuan smiled knowingly and glanced at the group: "You think you're worthy?"

"Besides, this Crimson Fire Pearl belongs to Daoist Crimson Dragon. Now that it's in my hands, it's naturally mine. When did it become the property of your Red Leaf Valley?"

"presumptuous!"

A disciple of Red Leaf Valley flew into a rage and shouted, "This Crimson Fire Pearl was clearly taken from Uncle-Master Huo Feng by you through underhanded means. It rightfully belongs to Red Leaf Valley! How dare you, you shameless scoundrel, spout such nonsense?!"

"Alright, I don't have time to waste on this nonsense."

Gu Yuan waved his hand casually:

"I don't care who this thing belonged to before. Now that it's in my hands, it's mine and has nothing to do with you. If you want it, either have a good fight with me, the winner lives and the loser dies, or shut up and stop talking nonsense."

These people are ridiculous. He found the Crimson Fire Pearl in the Fire Maple Hermit's storage bag, so it naturally became his.

Now these people are shouting for his life and demanding revenge for Master Huofeng, but they don't mention why he fought with Master Huofeng, nor do they want to find out the cause and effect.

They kept saying they wanted to avenge Master Huofeng, but they never mentioned finding out how Master Huofeng died.

This shows that these people are also quite unreasonable.

"Damn it, you..."

One of the Red Leaf Valley disciples, his face flushed with anger, was about to step forward to attack, but was stopped by the older cultivator. He looked at Gu Yuan coldly, his expression a mixture of resentment and a hint of fear:
"Mountains and rivers will meet each other, let's wait and see!"

After saying that, he led a few Red Leaf Valley disciples to the side and said no more. It was clear that he also wanted to take advantage of the opening of the Crimson Dragon Cave to enter it.

Unlike other disciples of Red Leaf Valley, he, as the senior disciple of Red Leaf Valley, possessed extraordinary insight, wisdom, and knowledge.

Gu Yuan's ability to kill Huo Feng Jushi, regardless of the methods he used, means he is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Although they outnumbered and outgunned, they were not Golden Core cultivators after all. Now that even Master Huofeng had fallen into Gu Yuan's hands, it was best not to take too many risks.

Moreover, this is not a good place for fighting and combat. With so many people watching, if both sides are seriously injured, it would be easy for someone else to take advantage of the situation.

Ji Canghai, Su Qiuyue, and a few others witnessed this scene and were quite curious or surprised, having witnessed a great deal of gossip.

Although Red Leaf Valley is not a major immortal sect, it is still a behemoth that most independent cultivators cannot afford to offend.

Gu Yuan doesn't seem to be any particularly formidable figure, so why are these Red Leaf Valley disciples so wary of him? They've been shouting for a long time, but they haven't made a move.

It's okay for others.

Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue recognized Gu Yuan, after all, Gu Yuan did not hide his identity at this time and still looked the same as when he entered the Crimson Dragon Small World.

Even so, the two remained silent, exchanged a glance with Gu Yuan, and the three of them tacitly chose to remain silent, concealing the fact that they knew each other.

After all, a lot of people have already gathered around here, and once the Crimson Dragon Cave opens, the people who enter will definitely be a mixed bag.

Concealing this fact might prove very useful in a critical moment.

However, Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue glanced at the two women behind Gu Yuan a few more times, feeling somewhat strange.

It's only been a few days since we last met, and Gu Yuan has somehow managed to hook up with two such beautiful female cultivators. It seems this Fellow Daoist Gu is quite the ladies' man.
