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

Chapter 336 The Rat-Killing Taoist!
As a Golden Core cultivator, Rat Daoist naturally knew how difficult it was to master a top-tier divine ability. Even he had only mastered one top-tier divine ability: Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.

In order to cultivate this top-level divine ability, he spent nearly a hundred years collecting enough Yuan Magnetite, and then several decades to finally master it.

It was precisely because of this that he achieved the third grade of the elixir, and in the future, he had hope of attaining the Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.

Of course, that's true, he has a slight hope of advancing to the Yin God realm, but his chance of advancing to the Yang God realm is practically negligible.

Even so, the Rat Taoist was already quite satisfied.

There are very few independent cultivators who can reach his level.

However, seeing Gu Yuan unleash one top-tier supernatural power after another, he found it hard to accept and hard to believe.

This kid is so young, yet he's mastered so many top-tier supernatural abilities. How did he manage to do that?!
To achieve such success at such a young age is a testament to his immense potential; he may even one day attain the highest rank in alchemy.

Thinking of this, Rat Daoist couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy and resentment.

And now that he has offended Gu Yuan, he might as well go all the way and keep Gu Yuan here to avoid future troubles.

"Wait a minute...this kid does look somewhat familiar..."

Rat Daoist's heart stirred, and he looked at Gu Yuan in front of him. The more he looked, the more he felt a strange sense of familiarity.

At this moment, Gu Yuan no longer concealed his appearance and identity, revealing his true appearance.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the Rat Taoist's mind, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan changed: "Could this kid be...?"

"Who I am, how many top-tier supernatural powers I've cultivated, what does that have to do with you!"

Gu Yuan sneered and decisively flicked his wrist, causing the lightning in his hand to lengthen into a sharp spear, crackling with electricity that sent chills down one's spine.

With a forceful flick, the dark purple lightning spear shot out, tearing through the void and leaving a long trail before landing on the Rat Taoist.

"Ok?"

However, Gu Yuan frowned, because after the Rat Taoist was pierced by the lightning spear, although his body quickly turned black and even emitted white smoke under the lightning, his figure quickly faded and then disappeared.

Gu Yuan suddenly turned around and looked to the other side, where he saw the figure of the Rat Taoist suddenly appear a hundred feet away.

At this moment, the Rat Taoist still faintly emitted a burnt smell, and his face was as pale as paper, looking extremely weak and severely weakened.

However, no wound appeared on his chest where he had been struck by the lightning spear, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

As soon as the Rat Taoist appeared, he immediately unleashed his Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and fled for his life. His earlier thought of eliminating the threat at its root vanished without a trace.

Not only because Gu Yuan's strength was difficult for him to deal with and he felt threatened by death, but also because he had guessed Gu Yuan's true identity!
It was clearly Gu Yuan, the one who had previously been so famous, who had killed a Golden Core cultivator with his Celestial Realm body!

Although he was just a junior, he was infamous and feared by many!
In other words, he's someone you can't afford to mess with.

In that case, of course we should run as far as possible, the farther the better!

He is called the Rat Taoist because the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power he possesses is also an incredibly fast escape technique. He also has a rare treasure that can save his life in critical moments, making him slippery and difficult to catch.

This is also why he escaped death despite almost being struck by lightning after being stabbed by Gu Yuan with his lightning spear.

"Trying to run? You really think you can run?!"

However, upon seeing this, Gu Yuan merely snorted coldly. The lightning in his hand rapidly lengthened, transforming into a blackish-purple lightning rope that bound the Rat Daoist tightly. The Rat Daoist's Yuan Magnetic Divine Power was indeed quite peculiar; if it were to be sublimated to the Innate Yuan Magnetic Divine Power, it could even suppress the power of the Five Elements!
However, the Rat Taoist did not possess such great abilities.

At least for now, Gu Yuan's Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Divine Power is not subject to any restraint at all, and in terms of power, it is no weaker than it!
After being bound by the lightning ropes, the Rat Taoist tried to resist by circulating his magic power, but the dark purple lightning ropes only released a burst of lightning power. The Rat Taoist immediately started to tremble, his whole body convulsed, and his skin quickly turned black and charred.

"Spare...spare...spare my life!"

The Rat Taoist hurriedly begged for mercy, his charred face filled with fear, and his body flickering with tiny bolts of lightning. At this moment, he could not even mobilize his magic power, because even his dantian was filled with lightning.

If one is not careful, the golden core inside may be struck by lightning, and no one knows what will happen then.

The reason why the Rat Daoist is still alive is because he is, after all, a Golden Core cultivator with tenacious vitality. Even though his flesh and blood have been partially cooked by the lightning, he is still alive.

Gu Yuan remained expressionless, but his internal energy circulated rapidly, and the lightning rope in his hand shone brightly.

Then Gu Yuan reached out and pulled hard. The Rat Taoist didn't even utter a sound as the lightning rope snapped him in two at the waist, turning him into two corpses.

When the two halves of the body hit the ground, they instantly turned into a pile of black ash, still emitting wisps of white smoke.

Gu Yuan reached out and summoned a storage bag and a dark object from the pile of ashes, which flew out and landed in his hand.

Then, Gu Yuan glanced coldly around before riding away swiftly in his escape light.

After Gu Yuan left, some people in the distance started talking amongst themselves:

"I can't believe my eyes, can I? The Rat Taoist is actually dead?!"

"What? The Rat Taoist is dead?"

"Who exactly is this young man? How could he kill the Rat Taoist?!"

"Haven't you recognized him yet? It's Gu Yuan!"

"So he is Gu Yuan. No wonder... I heard that this kid has amazing combat power. He has even killed several Golden Core cultivators. I wonder how much benefit he gained from this trip to the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace. Well, we can't afford to offend this kind of person. We should stay away from him."

"That makes sense... If we can't afford to offend them, we can at least avoid them!"

……

On the other side, Gu Yuan flew away while examining the two spoils he had just obtained.

He rummaged through the storage bag and found quite a few things inside, such as spirit stones, spirit herbs, and other miscellaneous items, and even a few magical artifacts, although they were not of high quality.

Other than that, nothing else.

"There isn't one... what a pity."

Gu Yuan frowned.

What he was looking for was the Rat Taoist's method for cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Power.

This rather unorthodox and mysterious power is cultivated through the power of primordial magnetic energy. Its power and potential are by no means inferior to Gu Yuan's swordsmanship, thunder magic, or other cultivation methods.
