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

Chapter 423 The Origins of the Two Factions!

This is certainly a great thing for Gu Yuan.

With this book, his future path of cultivation will be brighter and his future limitless.

"Thank you, Master."

Gu Yuan quickly came to his senses and sincerely thanked Xuan Yuan Daoist.

"Between master and disciple, there is no need for excessive formalities."

Xuan Yuan Daoist waved his hand dismissively and said, "Tell me, what is it that you woke me up?"

Now that the two have become master and disciple, Xuan Yuan Dao Ren and Gu Yuan are bound together by fate, so Xuan Yuan Dao Ren will not threaten Gu Yuan and will even try to help him.

Therefore, Gu Yuan did not hide anything and directly told the story of Su Qiuyue looking for him, explaining the whole thing clearly from beginning to end, without even omitting his own speculations.

Xuan Yuan Daoist remained calm at first, but the more he listened, the more moved he became. Especially after hearing the name "Tai Xu Guan", he frowned slightly, revealing a hint of contemplation, as if he had remembered something.

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Daoist looked at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "If I am not mistaken, the woman you mentioned, Su Qiuyue, does indeed have some connection with our sect."

"This Taixu Temple should have been founded by Taixu Zhenren, an old friend of our Linghu Dao founder."

Before Gu Yuan could ask, Xuan Yuan Daoist told him everything he knew.

It turns out that long ago, the founder of Linghu Island had a close friend named Taixu Zhenren, who was also a primordial spirit immortal, and they were very close friends.

Because the two sides had a good relationship, they often sat down to discuss the Dao, and as a result, the Daoist practices of the two sides and their respective schools often had many similarities.

Furthermore, the two factions have always had a good relationship.

However, it wasn't until the Immortal of Longevity perished and Spirit Gourd Island was destroyed that the culprits were actually several Primordial Spirit Immortals.

Moreover, Taixu Temple was weak at the time and, intimidated by the remaining power of a few Nascent Soul Immortals, it stopped interfering in the matter.

Now, thousands of years later, the Taixu Temple probably no longer has the same affection for Linghu Island as it did back then.

It turns out the two factions used to have such a good relationship...

Gu Yuan nodded slowly, and he finally understood why Su Qiuyue had recognized him as someone who cultivated the "Taiyuan True Water Scripture".

"This woman should have recognized your identity, but she probably hasn't mentioned it to anyone. Otherwise, if the news got out and reached the East China Sea, someone would definitely come to kill you."

Master Xuanyuan earnestly gave his instructions.

"As for this woman, you'd better be careful. Things are different now than before."

"Master, rest assured, your disciple understands."

Gu Yuan nodded. Although the two factions had a long history, now that Linghu Island had been destroyed, Gu Yuan was the only survivor. On the contrary, the power of Taixu Temple was extremely strong.

With one side strong and the other weak, it's hard to guarantee that the people of Taixu Temple won't have some other ideas.

Therefore, Gu Yuan should be wary of the people from Taixu Temple.

Xuan Yuan Daoist originally intended to continue his slumber, but after learning about the Tai Xu Temple, he decided to talk to Gu Yuan about the various connections between the two sects and some things in the East Sea cultivation world.

Especially the secrecy of their own Linghu Island.

These secrets, under normal circumstances, should not be told to Gu Yuan. However, now that Linghu Island has been almost completely wiped out, Gu Yuan has become the only disciple of Linghu Island.

Therefore, there is no need to follow some less important rules.

Most importantly, let Gu Yuan live a good life, attain immortality, and bring glory to Linghu Island once again!

Finally, before falling into a deep sleep, Daoist Xuanyuan solemnly gave the following instructions:

"Remember, you must not reveal a single word about Linghu Island, or even about your grandmaster, the Immortal of Longevity."

"Yes! This disciple will keep it in mind!" Gu Yuan nodded solemnly in response.

After Xuan Yuan Daoist returned to the Purple Jade Gourd and fell into a deep sleep, Gu Yuan sat down cross-legged and continued to study swordsmanship.

As for the "Taiyuan Biluo Daozhang" that Xuanyuan Daoist passed on to him, Gu Yuan did not pay any attention to it.

Firstly, this Taoist book records a cultivation method that begins only at the Golden Core stage, which Gu Yuan simply cannot practice.

Secondly, this Taoist book is too mysterious and profound; it takes a certain amount of time to comprehend and understand it in order to cultivate it.

……

The next day, Gu Yuan left the cave and rode his escape light directly to the mountain gate to greet Su Qiuyue.

When Gu Yuan arrived near the mountain gate, he descended into the light of his escape.

There were actually two disciples guarding this mountain gate.

Both of them were outer disciples. They had been whispering to each other, but when they saw Gu Yuan's escape light descend, they immediately perked up and looked over.

"Wait, it's actually Senior Brother Gu... Senior Brother Gu?!"

Upon seeing Gu Yuan's face, both of them were deeply moved and let out a gasp of surprise.

"Senior Brother Gu? Which Senior Brother Gu?"

"Nonsense, whichever Senior Brother Gu it is! Of course, it's the most famous one!"

The two whispered to each other for a moment, then hurriedly came over to greet each other.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Gu!"

Although they were outer disciples, their status was often no less than that of ordinary inner disciples because they frequently guarded the mountain gate.

Therefore, when they see some menial disciples or outer disciples on ordinary days, they often treat them with disdain.

If you are an inner disciple, you should be more polite.

As for the true disciples...

Both of them knew perfectly well that the difference between them was too great.

Especially since Gu Yuan's reputation has recently risen so high that even other disciples dare not provoke him, the two of them had no other thoughts at all. They simply came to pay their respects honestly and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Nowadays, a saying is circulating among these outer and inner disciples.

This Senior Brother Gu Yuan possesses unparalleled talent and aptitude, and is extremely bloodthirsty. The number of Golden Core cultivators who have died by his sword alone is no less than five, not to mention other cultivators and demons.

On Medicine King Mountain, one would rather offend the elders or even other true disciples than provoke this Senior Brother Gu.

Offending others might offer a glimmer of hope, but offending Gu Yuan could mean he might just show up that very day, riding his flying sword to behead you.

"You're welcome, my two junior brothers."

To their surprise, Gu Yuan's attitude was not as cold and domineering as rumored; on the contrary, he was quite amiable and spoke gently and politely.

He chatted with the two of them with a smile, and his words were not at all condescending or arrogant, which gradually made the two of them relax.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan even patted the two of them on the shoulder and gave them two bottles of elixirs.

This made the two outer disciples feel quite flattered and excited. They held the pill bottle and thanked Gu Yuan repeatedly.

Honestly, most of the other inner disciples, true disciples, and even the many stewards and elders don't treat outer disciples like human beings. They usually boss them around and look down on them. They're nothing like Gu Yuan, who's so polite and courteous.
