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

Chapter 377 The Green Lotus Seed is Exposed!

The Black Dragon Venerable was not angry when he heard Gu Yuan's refusal. Instead, he nodded in agreement: "Yes, that makes sense."

"Although I don't know exactly what this thing is, I'm certain it's a rather special spiritual root or herb seed. It contains a lot of innate vitality and even innate primordial energy. If it's properly nurtured, it certainly has great potential."

The Black Dragon Venerable said calmly, "Since you are unwilling, then I will not force you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Excellency."

Gu Yuan bowed again.

Deep down, I understand that this is largely due to my current status, since we're on the same side.

If he were an outsider, the Black Dragon Venerable before him probably wouldn't have spoken so easily.

However, Gu Yuan was also a little puzzled. The lotus seeds of the Creation Green Lotus were well hidden by itself, and the Taiyuan True Water Scripture itself had the function of concealment and internalization.

Once hidden in his life spring, he was submerged by the water of the life spring.

Furthermore, he concealed his aura to the fullest extent, so even the withered tree lord couldn't see it before. How did this black dragon lord in front of him see it?

It should be noted that the True Monarch of the Withered Wood cultivated pure wood-elemental Daoist arts, making him extremely sensitive to the vitality of wood-elemental energy.

If he couldn't see it or sense it, then how did this Black Dragon Venerable sense it?
Seemingly sensing Gu Yuan's thoughts, the Black Dragon Venerable said calmly, "Don't worry, kid. My innate abilities are somewhat special, which is why I'm more sensitive to the scent of this thing on you. Others won't be able to detect it."

Gu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

That would be best. Otherwise, if you meet someone and they discover you, what if someone gets interested?
He was lucky this time, only being seen through by his own senior disciples. What about next time?

If you encounter someone with ill intentions who sets their sights on the Creation Green Lotus Seeds, things could get very bad.

Gu Yuan is currently in poor health and cannot withstand any hardship.

Of course, once Gu Yuan has formed his Golden Core, his cultivation level will skyrocket, and he can further refine and polish this lotus seed, which might prevent it from leaking any more aura.

Even if some powerful figure had wicked intentions, with his few rudimentary forms of great supernatural powers and top-tier supernatural abilities, he could defeat even the most formidable Yin gods, except for the most powerful Yang gods.

Gu Yuan asked himself, although he couldn't beat them, he could at least exchange a few blows, and escaping shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, there are differences between the Yin God giants.

For example, their sect leader, Daoist Yu Sheng, is definitely one of the best among the Yin God giants.

Then there are also Yin God giants like Ancestor Huoshang, who came from a rogue cultivation background, have little lifespan left, and lack sufficient foundation and potential.

Although both are Yin spirits, if they were to actually fight, the former would definitely defeat the latter easily.
"If you change your mind, you can always come to me again. I welcome you anytime."

The Black Ox Venerable did not seem to have completely given up, and earnestly gave his advice.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gu Yuan naturally agreed respectfully.

The Black Dragon Venerable's ears twitched a few times, shooing away the surrounding insects. Seemingly losing interest, he lazily said:
"Old Daoist Danxia should be refining pills right now. Whenever he refines pills, he forgets things. You can just knock on the door or have Qingfeng open it and go in."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, clearly unwilling to pay any more attention to the two of them.

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Venerable One. This disciple takes his leave!"

Master Heling quickly bowed and then pulled Gu Yuan back to the front door.

Gu Yuan glanced at the young Taoist priest and found it amusing.

At this moment, the Daoist boy named Qingfeng was still in a half-asleep, half-awake state, swaying back and forth, his head nodding slightly—it was truly unbelievable. Master Heling gave Gu Yuan a look, and Gu Yuan immediately understood, stepping forward and gently touching Qingfeng's arm.

"Junior Brother Qingfeng."

"Uh-huh?!"

Qingfeng Daotong smacked his lips, then suddenly opened his eyes, which had been half-closed and half-open.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, he was clearly startled, his body jolting.

After regaining his composure, the young Taoist breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, may I ask who you are...?"

Gu Yuan spoke in a kind tone with a smile, "My name is Gu Yuan. Today, I have come with my master, Master Heling, to pay our respects to Ancestor Danxia. Please inform him of our arrival."

Although the young Taoist in front of him was not even a Xiantian Martial Master, Gu Yuan dared not underestimate him, nor did he dare to show the slightest disrespect.

As the saying goes, even a minor official is no match for a prime minister. The young Daoist Qingfeng in front of us is indeed nothing special, but behind him is one of the two Yang God level experts of our sect.

If word gets out, it might cause him some trouble.

Even if Qingfeng Daotong himself had the chance to complain to Ancestor Danxia, ​​it might leave a bad impression on the ancestor.

Once Gu Yuan offends Ancestor Danxia, ​​his future days will be difficult.

Moreover, although the young Daoist Qingfeng in front of him was only a martial arts master, Gu Yuan could easily see with his keen eyesight that although the boy was young, he was intelligent, handsome, and had excellent aptitude for cultivation.

He is clearly a promising candidate for Taoist cultivation!
As long as they cultivate diligently in the future, they will surely achieve something and will certainly be no less accomplished than Li Changqing, Niu Youde, and others.

Moreover, with the backing of the Danxia Ancestor, it may go further and longer in the future.

Qingfeng Daotong didn't care about any of that. Upon hearing the name "Gu Yuan," he perked up and his eyes lit up: "Gu Yuan? So you're Senior Brother Gu Yuan!"

He had naturally heard of Gu Yuan's reputation.

Gu Yuan was a very famous person, no less so than Li Changsheng.

However, Gu Yuan's age was not much older than his own, which was what Qingfeng Daotong admired most.

Gu Yuan smiled but remained silent.

Qingfeng Daotong seemed to realize what was happening and said, "Senior Brother Gu, you've come to see Master, right? Okay, I'll go open the door for you right away."

As they walked, they complained, "Sigh, Master must have forgotten about you all by now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's eyes flickered, but he remained silent.

But in my heart, I had some guesses.

Logically speaking, aristocratic families and sectarian lineages should be clearly distinct, with one being stronger and the other weaker.

Ultimately, however, the cultivation world values ​​strength above all else. No matter how powerful the disciples are, they are mainly at the Golden Core and Celestial Realm levels. At most, there might be some differences between the two sides at the Yin Spirit level.

The key point is that the two powerful Yang Gods, Zhu Que Shenjun and Danxia Laozu, are respectively the ancestor of a noble family faction and the ancestor of a sect lineage.

With these two patriarchs suppressing the conflict, the two major factions below shouldn't be fighting so fiercely.

Gu Yuan had previously speculated that there might be some underlying reasons for this.

For example, the two patriarchs were at odds, which led to fierce fighting between the two major factions below them.
