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

Chapter 299 The Two Women's Little Thoughts

Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling were not greedy or insatiable, and when they heard Gu Yuan's words, they both nodded in agreement and had no objections.

The three of them quickly left the weapon-refining pavilion and headed straight for the main hall in the distance.

On the way, Gu Yuan saw acquaintances Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue.

Seeing the two smiling faces, seemingly in good spirits, Gu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "It seems you two fellow Daoists have gained quite a bit."

By this time, most of the Crimson Dragon Cave had been explored, and he no longer needed to hide his relationship with Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue.

Besides, the relationship between the three of them is really nothing special; at most, they just agreed to explore the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace together, which is not a big deal.

"Brother Ji and I have indeed gained some insights, but I suspect that Brother Gu, you must have also made significant progress, right?"

Before Ji Canghai could say anything, Su Qiuyue responded first.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes swept over Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling, and the strange look in her eyes made the two women feel a little uncomfortable.

The gazes directed at this woman now held a hint of hostility.

They weren't stupid; they naturally understood what Su Qiuyue's gaze meant. She clearly felt that they had some kind of ambiguous relationship with Gu Yuan.

Of course, they know in their hearts whether it's true or not; it's actually just a misunderstanding. A simple explanation or ignoring it is fine.

However, the two women didn't want to waste any more words. The key issue was that Gu Yuan seemed to know this woman, and was quite familiar with her. This was the key reason that made the two women unhappy.

They hadn't known Gu Yuan for very long, but they had seen everything he had done during that time.

To be honest, Gu Yuan's supernatural abilities, his talent, and even his swordsmanship and alchemy are all outstanding. Among the younger generation of cultivators in the Southern Border, there are probably very few who can compare to him.

Such a person has a promising future, possessing the potential to become a Yang God or even a Primordial Spirit. Even the two of them couldn't help but be tempted.

The path of cultivation is arduous and difficult. Even with good talent, strong physique, and sufficient opportunities, one may not necessarily achieve anything.

Don't you see, countless cultivation geniuses from prestigious sects, with no shortage of opportunities and resources, are already quite remarkable if they can ultimately achieve the Yin Spirit realm, while many fail to even forge the Golden Core.

As for Gu Yuan, his performance over the past few days has completely won over the two of them.

Of course, Yan Xiaoling would let it go, but Ji Yuefei would absolutely never admit it.

She clearly remembered that her own mountain lord and Gu Yuan obviously knew each other...

"Hehe, a small success, a small success..."

Gu Yuan responded with a few words of agreement, and the five of them simply walked forward together.

Seeing Gu Yuan chatting with Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue, Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling understood that although Gu Yuan knew these two people, they were not very familiar with each other.

This made the two women secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the two women were quite surprised after learning the identities of the two men.

Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue are both outstanding young cultivators in the Southern Border region, and two of the most famous and outstanding figures among them.

They had naturally heard of the identities of these two people.

They were initially surprised, but they quickly came to understand.

These two are not simple, but Gu Yuan is no less impressive. In fact, judging from his performance, he is even better than them. It is perfectly normal for them to know each other.

As the saying goes, a dragon doesn't associate with a snake. It's perfectly normal for a prodigy like Gu Yuan to have friends like Ji Canghai and Su Qiuyue, who are also unparalleled geniuses.

"Brother Gu, I might need your help later."

As they walked, Ji Canghai said to Gu Yuan, "Oh? What kind of help?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

Ji Canghai smiled, a meaningful smile on his face, and said, "It's hard to say for sure. I just hope you can help me when the time comes. Of course, I will definitely repay you handsomely."

Upon hearing this, Su Qiuyue, who was standing to the side, remained silent, seemingly aware of something.

Gu Yuan glanced at him and nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.

In fact, he had a vague guess in his heart that the favor Ji Canghai wanted him to do was likely related to the Flame Dragon Jade Seal.

This is the Crimson Dragon Cave, the abode of the Crimson Dragon Taoist, and the Flaming Dragon Jade Seal is very likely located here.

The Flame Dragon Jade Seal is a top-tier treasure. Not only is it suspected to be a spiritual treasure, but it may also be a central treasure that can control the entire Crimson Dragon Small World, allowing one to control the entire Crimson Dragon Small World.

It's quite normal for Ji Canghai and even Su Qiuyue to be tempted by such a treasure.

However, although Ji Canghai's words sounded nice, Gu Yuan actually suspected that this guy was secretly on guard against him.

After all, anyone would be tempted by a treasure like the Flaming Dragon Jade Seal, so Ji Canghai certainly wouldn't dare to reveal any related information, which is why he was vague and didn't explain things clearly.

Gu Yuan didn't care. If there was no opportunity, so be it. If there really was an opportunity, he would naturally take action.

When the five arrived at the last hall, some people were already waiting there.

This included Gu Yuan's acquaintance—the dark-skinned, thin old man, also known as the Three Corpse Demon.

Just as Gu Yuan saw him, the Three Corpse Demon seemed to have noticed as well. He turned his gaze and looked over. The two looked at each other. The Three Corpse Demon's gaze was wooden and cold, while Gu Yuan's gaze was calm and indifferent.

"What's going on? What are these people doing here?"

Gu Yuan frowned.

Gu Yuan was initially puzzled by the large number of people who had stopped there instead of going inside.

But when he saw that the door was tightly closed and its surface was radiating a restrictive aura, he immediately guessed the reason.

Clearly, the door was not open, and these people couldn't get in.

Ji Canghai didn't seem surprised and explained to Gu Yuan and the others, "This is the cave dwelling, or rather, the residence of Daoist Chilong. To enter, you need those Five Elements Yuan Pearls."

"The Five Elements Pearl is not only the key to opening the Crimson Dragon Cave, but also the key to opening this great hall."

"I see……"

Gu Yuan nodded; he had actually guessed what Ji Canghai meant by that.

However, Ji Canghai spoke with such certainty that he must know a great deal about the Crimson Dragon Cave and even the Crimson Dragon Daoist. It's just a matter of how he knew.

Upon arriving at the main hall, Gu Yuan could see the three large characters "Red Dragon Hall" written above it.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the residence of Daoist Chilong. To open it, we need our Five Elements Yuan Pearls. Please cooperate with each other."

Seeing Gu Yuan and his group approach, the Three Corpse Demon's eyes flashed, and he suddenly spoke up.

“Indeed, there must be the legacy of the Crimson Dragon Daoist in this Crimson Dragon Palace, and perhaps some other treasures as well. I would like to ask fellow Daoist to put aside past grievances for now and resolve any conflicts later. As for now, let’s cooperate to open this gate.”

A middle-aged, overweight monk standing nearby chimed in agreement.
