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

Chapter 276 Crane Flower!
The disciples of Red Leaf Valley then realized that something was wrong.

My heart sank. I went forward to check on him and found that my senior brother's eyes were wide open in anger, lifeless and devoid of vitality.

A sword mark had already appeared between his eyebrows.

The sword wound was about the width of a leek leaf, and a trickle of blood seeped out from it, slowly flowing down the skin and dripping onto the ground from the chin.

"Brother!"

One of the Red Leaf Valley disciples was horrified and cried out in pain.

The others also changed their expressions drastically, revealing fear and even anger.

"Gu Yuan, it's you!"

Someone suddenly turned their head and looked at Gu Yuan with resentment and anger.

"You killed our senior brother! How ruthless you are!"

Gu Yuan sneered: "I'm ruthless? When your senior brother was spewing filth and throwing dirty water at me, trying to kill me, why didn't you say a word?"

"Now you look completely innocent and are questioning me, yet you feel so at ease. People like you deserve to die!"

Just then, a blue butterfly suddenly appeared, and then flapped its wings, sending out countless blue sword energies that enveloped the Red Leaf Valley disciples.

These people were terrified and began to resist, manipulating magical artifacts and unleashing various supernatural powers and spells to either defend themselves or escape.

However, under the sword energy of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly, these people's defensive magical artifacts and spells were pierced through one by one, and their bodies were also pierced and dismembered.

Moments later, only a pile of limbs and fragments remained on the spot.

At this moment, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly fluttered its wings and flew to Gu Yuan, landing on his outstretched finger.

Then he raised his palm and placed it on his other shoulder.

"..."

Upon seeing this, no one spoke for a moment. They all stared at the two strange insects on either side of Gu Yuan's shoulders, silent, some in surprise, some in fear.
No one spoke up for these Red Leaf Valley disciples.

Gu Yuan swept his gaze across the crowd, especially those who had just echoed him. His gaze was indifferent, yet it sent shivers down their spines, with some even trembling with fear.

Only Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling beside him watched with interest, their gazes towards Gu Yuan changing.

They knew Gu Yuan was strong, but they didn't really have a concept of just how strong he was.

Now, Gu Yuan swiftly and decisively slaughtered these Red Leaf Valley warriors on the spot, as if slicing melons and chopping vegetables. This shocked the two men and gave them a certain understanding of Gu Yuan's strength.

No wonder he was able to defeat the strong with the weak, killing a Golden Core cultivator with only the cultivation of the Celestial Realm.

Yan Xiaoling, in particular, was incredibly eager to see Gu Yuan's two strange insects displaying their power.

He wished he could grab the two strange insects and tame them into his own spirit insects.

As a Gu cultivator, she has always coveted good Gu insects, let alone the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede.

Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue exchanged a glance, their expressions subtle. Gu Yuan's displayed strength was indeed extraordinary.

In their eyes, Gu Yuan's cultivation level might be slightly inferior to theirs, but his strength was by no means inferior. Especially considering that Gu Yuan also possessed the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, two formidable weapons!
The dark-skinned, thin old man stared at Gu Yuan for a moment, then looked at the medicinal fields and spirit fields, pondered for a moment, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Gu Yuan didn't say anything more and headed straight for the pond filled with bright white lotuses.

The others also seemed to wake up from their daze and followed Gu Yuan's example, heading towards other medicinal fields and spiritual fields.

"It worked! Haha, it actually worked!"

Surprisingly, someone soon managed to exchange one medicinal herb for another in the herb field.

The man was a hunchbacked old man who was holding a crane flower in his hand, his face showing ecstatic joy as he laughed heartily.

Crane flower is a special kind of medicinal herb, and it is called that for two reasons.

Firstly, the appearance of this flower resembles a crane spreading its wings and flying.

Secondly, this medicinal herb has the effect of prolonging life; a single Crane Flower can extend one's life by a hundred years. As is well known, cranes are often a symbol of longevity, and this name also explains its effect.

However, he soon stopped, because he clearly noticed that many people around him were staring intently at the crane flower in his hand, as if they were longing for it.

The hunchbacked old man then realized that he had clearly done something foolish!
What a treasure the Crane Flower is!
This is a miraculous medicine for prolonging life. Compared with the Thunder Tribulation Vine and the Creation Green Lotus, it may be slightly inferior, but for some cultivators, especially those with little lifespan left, it may be more valuable!
For example, the hunchbacked old man himself was nearing the end of his life and had no hope of reaching the Saint Golden Core realm. He spent all his wealth to obtain a spot to enter the Crimson Dragon Small World.

He had planned to take a gamble and see if he could obtain some opportunity to advance his cultivation further. Once he achieved the Golden Core stage, he could at least gain a lifespan of more than five hundred years.

Even if one cannot achieve the Golden Core, if one can gain something, it will not be a wasted trip.

Even if he were to die here, it would be because he was unlucky. He had lived for three hundred years, which was enough.

Unexpectedly, he obtained a Crane Flower, which was like finding a new path after a long and difficult journey!

With this item, he could not only extend his life by a hundred years, but also have that hundred years to perhaps forge the Golden Elixir, thus giving him a glimmer of hope for immortality.

Therefore, the crane flower was more valuable to him.

However, now that he has revealed this thing in front of so many people, if he were Gu Yuan, he would be fine and could protect it, but the problem is that he is not.

This has gotten him into trouble, and he's probably already being watched by someone.

Fortunately, many people saw his success and felt that there might be other reasons why the others had failed, so they continued to try to "trade" with the Crimson Dragon Taoist.

Unexpectedly, although most people still failed, a few people successfully obtained some spiritual herbs from the herb field. Although they were not as valuable as Gu Yuan's Thunder Tribulation Vine and the hunchbacked old man's Crane Flower, they were still a pleasant surprise.

This proves that Gu Yuan's ability to obtain the Thunder Tribulation Vine while others failed was not due to any trickery on his part, but rather for another reason.

Gu Yuan ignored these people and came to the pool where the bright white lotus grew. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a "giant egg" the size of a basketball, shaped like a chicken egg, with fine scale-like patterns on its surface and a blood-red color from his storage bag.

This is the Dragon Blood Fruit that Gu Yuan obtained before!
As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!

While the Dragon Blood Fruit is indeed precious, Gu Yuan had already obtained two Dragon Blood Fruits.

He needs to refine one of the fruits himself, so he might as well use the extra Dragon Blood Fruit to exchange for something else useful.
