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

Chapter 409 Cave Abode in Baiyun Mountain!
At least Gu Yuan has secured a spot as a true disciple of the sect, which won't affect them much. The remaining two spots are enough for them to compete for.

However, the inner disciples of a sect are different.

Gu Yuan's taking the last spot means that his path to promotion has been blocked.

Unless one has an extraordinary stroke of luck that allows their cultivation level to skyrocket and they to possess the strength of a true disciple, they can still compete with other true disciples for a chance to become one themselves.

Therefore, this has left many people feeling quite resentful and even indignant.

Gu Yuan noted down the expressions of the disciples who revealed jealousy, resentment, and unwillingness, then ignored them and looked at Elder Qi, smiling as he waved the identity jade token in his hand, saying, "This is my identity token, given to me personally by the sect leader. If you don't believe me, Elder, you can check it."

Elder Qi glanced at the identity token in Gu Yuan's hand and waved his hand, "No need to look, I trust you."

He had already recognized that the jade token in Gu Yuan's hand was genuine. Moreover, no one would dare to impersonate or counterfeit such a thing; otherwise, the sect leader, Daoist Yu Sheng, would definitely be the first to stand up.

Then, Elder Qi couldn't help but look Gu Yuan up and down, sighing, "You lad, you really surprise me. You've become a true disciple so quickly."

Elder Qi was well aware of the difficulty of becoming a true disciple.

However, in any case, the Gu Yuan of the past is definitely different from the Gu Yuan of today.

Although Gu Yuan is no longer a Golden Core cultivator, he has become a true disciple, and even the Seventh Elder has to treat him with respect.

Although Elder Qi was old-fashioned, it did not mean he was pedantic. Therefore, his words to Gu Yuan were no longer as harsh as they had been at the beginning, but became more polite.

"Elder Qi, you flatter me. I was just a little lucky."

Gu Yuan said modestly.

"lucky?"

Elder Qi was taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled and said, "If becoming a true disciple were simply a matter of luck, then our Medicine King Mountain would have far more than just ten true disciples."

Although the number of places for true disciples is not large, becoming a true disciple is not easy.

It is absolutely impossible to rely on luck alone. In addition, one also needs to have good talent and aptitude, as well as an iron will.

In addition, other conditions must be met; otherwise, the quota for true disciples would have been filled long ago.

"Alright, now that you've become a true disciple, according to the rules of Medicine King Mountain, you should have your own cave dwelling."

Elder Qi didn't say much and got straight to the point.

He thought for a moment, then took out a scroll and said, "This is a map of the mountain gate. The highlighted parts are the cave dwellings."

"The red dots are already occupied, and the white dots are still empty. With your status, you are fully entitled to choose one. Now, you can make your choice."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Gu Yuan took the jade scroll, unfolded it, and in a flash, the jade scroll burst forth with spiritual light, pulling his divine sense into a space.

Immediately afterwards, a complex map appeared in this space. It looked like the map of Yaowang Mountain, and it was clearly a three-dimensional map, which looked like a miniature version of the real Yaowang Mountain.

Gu Yuan skipped over the three main peaks and the other red cave dwellings of the spiritual mountains, focusing instead on the other empty spiritual mountain cave dwellings.

Gu Yuan had actually considered his future cave dwelling.

Ideally, it should be a quiet place with plenty of water nearby, a good environment, and abundant spiritual energy.

and so……

Gu Yuan glanced at the map before him, his gaze soon settling on a somewhat secluded spot not too far from Luoxia Mountain. This mountain was called Baiyun Mountain, named so because its mid-slope to summit was often shrouded in mist, and a waterfall flowed down from the mountain, gathering into a large lake nearby—a place brimming with spiritual energy and possessing a beautiful environment.

From any perspective, it is quite suitable for him.

With this mountain and the surrounding area of ​​dozens of miles as his cave dwelling, from then on, Gu Yuan could be considered a true cultivator with all the necessary resources, companions, methods, and land.

Furthermore, he can release his pets to roam freely in the vicinity, instead of keeping them cooped up in the spirit beast pouch all the time.

Of course, we must first set up the surrounding array and restrictions.

"That's it."

Gu Yuan made his decision immediately, withdrew his divine sense, and told Elder Qi the location he had chosen.

"Baiyun Mountain..."

Elder Qi nodded and commented, "This place is not bad, it's just a bit remote."

Then he asked again, "Young Gu, are you sure this is the place?"

"Let's go with Baiyun Mountain."

Gu Yuan affirmed.

"it is good."

Elder Qi didn't say anything more. He cast a spell on the jade scroll and then imprinted Gu Yuan's name on it.

In other words, from now on, Baiyun Mountain, including the surrounding area of ​​dozens of miles, has become Gu Yuan's private territory, that is, his own cave dwelling.

No outsider may directly offend him without permission; otherwise, no one would say anything if Gu Yuan killed him.

"For the next period of time, the sect will assign you thirty strongmen and twenty maids to handle all the trivial matters on Baiyun Mountain. From now on, they will be your people, Gu Yuan."

Elder Qi continued, "In addition, you also have ten acres of medicinal herb garden and five acres of spirit fields, which will be arranged for you. Furthermore, you can go to the third floor of the library to choose a Daoist book."

"Furthermore, you can hire two inner disciples, ten outer disciples, and numerous miscellaneous disciples to do your bidding."

"As for other things and matters, I don't need to say more. You should already know them clearly yourself."

After saying this, he handed Gu Yuan a jade slip, which contained detailed information about Baiyun Mountain.

And information about the identities of those strongmen and maids.

"The disciple understands."

Gu Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

……

Next, Gu Yuan left Qian Yuan Tower and did not go to Baiyun Mountain, but returned to Luoxia Mountain where his master, Master He Ling, lived.

The news that he had become a true disciple quickly spread throughout Medicine King Mountain, and even to the entire Qin Prefecture and the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang.

Many people are familiar with the name "Gu Yuan," and his various deeds, such as killing the true disciples of the Gu God Sect and several Golden Core cultivators, and gaining the upper hand in his battle against the Three Corpse Demon, have spread throughout the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang and caused quite a stir.
