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

Chapter 350 Selling the Wu Hook Flying Sword!
"Hmm, these things are alright."

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he put the storage bag away.

Zhuang Zhong also smiled and said:
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Fellow Daoist. If you have any further needs in the future, just come to our shop. I guarantee you'll leave satisfied!"

When Zhuang Zhong said this, he thumped his chest loudly, and looked at Gu Yuan as if he were looking at a mountain of spiritual stones.

The Fellow Daoist Yuan in front of me may have a lower cultivation level and less-than-ideal appearance, but he is rich.

Something worth over 300,000 spirit stones was casually taken out by the other party, who seemed completely unconcerned. That's quite extravagant.

To be honest, even for a Golden Core cultivator like him, it would be extremely difficult to produce something of such immense value.

He gave it his all, and it's already quite an achievement if he can produce even a fraction of it.

Furthermore, judging from this fellow Daoist's cultivation level, he is not even a Golden Core cultivator. What does this indicate?
This suggests that the person in front of you either has a powerful background or someone backing you.

He speculated that it was likely a combination of both.

The origins of the items that Gu Yuan brought out are worth pondering.

Furthermore, the benefits Gu Yuan brought today have also greatly benefited their Treasure Pavilion, allowing them to make a fortune.

Therefore, his goal was simple and direct: to win over Gu Yuan and, ideally, to find out his background.

Even if you don't understand, you should still try to befriend Gu Yuan.

However, Gu Yuan's reaction at this moment surprised him. Gu Yuan paused for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Master Zhuang, this is not urgent. I have something else I would like to ask you to take a look at."

"what?"

Deputy Pavilion Master Zhuang was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly laughed, "Hehe, I was a little anxious. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Yuan has anything else?"

Gu Yuan reached out and placed a strangely shaped Wu Hook flying sword on the table.

This strange flying sword is black and red all over. One side is sharp and thin, flashing with a ferocious evil light, while the other side has triangular serrations with wisps of blood-red light flashing on them from time to time, which makes people feel scared. It seems to be able to cut through everything in the world. It is so sharp that it is unbelievable!

The only flaw is the few tiny scratches on the sword, which only add to its ferocious aura.

"This is... a magic weapon?!"

Before Zhuang Zhong could say anything, Old Chen exclaimed in surprise. His goatee twitched, and he unconsciously stroked his beard, not even noticing that he had accidentally plucked a few hairs.

His old eyes were fixed on the strangely shaped flying sword that Gu Yuan had taken out, his gaze almost blank.

Zhuang Zhong swallowed hard, looked at Gu Yuan, then at the Wu Hook Flying Sword, unsure of what to say.

He is indeed a Golden Core cultivator, but not every Golden Core cultivator possesses magical treasures.

In fact, most Golden Core cultivators in this world do not use magic treasures, but magic tools. They often painstakingly refine their natal magic tools, and even after a lifetime of refinement, they may not be able to refine them into magic treasures.

Magical artifacts are not easy to refine and possess immense power, making them fundamentally different from magical implements.

This is what makes this item so rare.

Zhuang Zhong didn't have such a thing either, but the Treasure Pavilion did have two magical treasures, which were the pavilion's most prized possessions.

However, those two magical treasures are usually kept on a high shelf and are rarely taken out. Even though he is the deputy head of the building, he is not qualified to use them.

The fact that Gu Yuan could produce a magical artifact was a huge surprise to him. As for the servant beside him, he was completely stunned.

Is this customer really that extravagant? He's even selling magical artifacts.

Who would complain about having too many magical treasures?
Some Golden Core cultivators, after obtaining a magical treasure, often treasure it immensely, rarely showing it to others, and may not even let their partners or children see it, let alone sell it.

The Mr. Yuan in front of me can take out a magical artifact and sell it without even blinking. That's really... tsk tsk.

Zhuang Zhong gave Old Chen a look, and Old Chen immediately stood up, carefully picked it up, and examined it closely.

He examined the sword closely, from the tip to the blade, from the hilt to the body.

After a moment, Old Chen nodded and said, "This flying sword is indeed a magic weapon, and it is also protected by three Heavenly Gang Restrictions. It is slightly damaged, but it is not a big deal. It can be easily repaired with some materials."

Three Heavenly Gang Restrictions—this isn't an ordinary magic weapon… Zhuang Zhong took a deep breath, looked at Gu Yuan, and asked in a deep voice, “I wonder what Fellow Daoist Yuan wishes to exchange this flying sword for? As long as our Treasure Pavilion has it, I certainly won't refuse.”

Zhuang Zhong knew perfectly well how valuable a magical artifact was. Measuring it with spirit stones would be a complete underestimation of its worth. Such artifacts usually required something of equal value to exchange for them, that is, bartering.

Therefore, Zhuang Zhong didn't mention the spirit stones, because exchanging magic treasures for spirit stones is something only a fool would do.

To be honest, Zhuang Zhong was also tempted.

He felt a connection with the strangely shaped flying sword before him, and that once repaired, its quality would surpass that of the two magical treasures from the Treasure Pavilion.

How could he not be tempted under such circumstances?

He had been a Golden Core cultivator for over a hundred years, yet he didn't even possess a single magic weapon. This wasn't shameful, as most Golden Core cultivators were like that.

But now, having seen the Wu Hook Flying Sword with his own eyes, Zhuang Zhong had to admit he was envious…

It was both shabby and heartbreaking.

Why can't this flying sword be mine?

"How about this, Master Zhuang, why don't you bring out some items from your shop for me to see? If there are any items that I like, I can consider exchanging them."

Gu Yuan then spoke up.

Zhuang Zhong nodded without hesitation and said, "Alright, Fellow Daoist Yuan, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

As he spoke, he gave Old Chen and the servant beside him a wink, and then the three of them went out together, their destination unknown.

Gu Yuan didn't care. He picked up a spiritual fruit from the fruit plate and took a bite.

Hmm, it's sweet and sour, tastes good, a bit like the cherry tomatoes he ate in his past life, but much better...

As for why he sold the Wu Hook Flying Sword, it's actually quite simple: this magical flying sword wasn't very useful to Gu Yuan.

First of all, Gu Yuan now possesses the divine weapon Black Dragon Halberd, the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace, and the Blazing Carp Shuttle. The quality of each of these three items is no less than that of the Wu Hook Flying Sword.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan had just successfully refined his natal flying sword, the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword.

Although the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword is currently only a top-tier magical artifact with seventy-two Earthly Fiend Restrictions, it is not yet a magic treasure.

But for Gu Yuan, it was far more powerful than the Wu Hook magic weapon.
