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

Chapter 426 The Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords!

"Fellow Daoist Su, are you threatening me?"

Gu Yuan squinted at the other person, a chilling look in his eyes.

"threaten?"

Su Qiuyue showed a hint of grievance and said, "How could Fellow Daoist Gu think that way? I had no intention of threatening you at all."

"is it?"

Gu Yuan sneered, but was too lazy to argue with the other party. He simply waved his hand and said, "I have other things to do. If Fairy Su has nothing else to do, you can leave now."

"As for the Hun Tian Elder and the Ling Hu Island you mentioned, I've never heard of them."

With that, Gu Yuan called out, "Alright, Qiu Yue, see the guests out!"

Gu Yuan wasn't stupid, much less a lecherous wretch, so naturally he wouldn't actually believe what the other person said.

Perhaps Su Qiuyue didn't intend to threaten Gu Yuan, but she definitely had some intention of using his influence to coerce him.

Otherwise, why point out the identities of the Old Man of Hun Tian and his son Zheng Changlong, and their grudges against Linghu Island?

Yes, if what Su Qiuyue said is true, Gu Yuan does indeed have a grudge against the Old Man of Hun Tian and Zheng Changlong.

But so what?
Having a grudge doesn't mean you have to take revenge immediately. Besides, his current cultivation level isn't very high. He can wait until he reaches a certain level of cultivation before seeking revenge. There's no need to do what Su Qiuyue wants.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, please don't misunderstand."

Seeing Gu Yuan's reaction, Su Qiuyue's smile faded, and she said seriously:
"I really didn't mean to threaten you. I just wanted to remind you of a fact: helping me is actually helping yourself."

"Help myself?"

Gu Yuan smiled, but the sarcasm on his face grew even stronger.

"Why does Fairy Su spout such nonsense that even you don't believe? I initially thought you were someone of importance, but your words and actions have truly disappointed me..."

However, Su Qiuyue didn't care about Gu Yuan's sarcasm, and instead explained with a serious expression:

"There's something you probably don't know, Fellow Daoist Gu: Zheng Changlong actually has a clue about the Spiritual Treasure Myriad Swords Gourd of Spiritual Gourd Island."

"The Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords?"

Gu Yuan, who hadn't paid any attention before, was startled by what he heard and suddenly looked at Su Qiuyue.

The Ten Thousand Swords Gourd that Su Qiuyue mentioned is actually the treasure of Linghu Island, which has been guarded by the island for generations. It is a black gourd that looks like jade and gold, about the size of a palm.

This treasure has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Through the refinement of successive island lords, its quality has reached an extremely high level.

Even among all the magical treasures, it ranks among the top!
Previously, Linghu Island was attacked and the Immortal Changsheng perished. However, even in his death, the Immortal Changsheng felt that Linghu Island still had a glimmer of hope, and that the Myriad Swords Gourd should not fall into the hands of the enemy. So he used his last strength to send the Myriad Swords Gourd to a certain hidden place.

As for this matter, it was Xuan Yuan Dao Ren who told Gu Yuan about it before, and Gu Yuan kept it firmly in his heart.

At that time, Daoist Xuanyuan specifically instructed Gu Yuan to pay close attention to news related to the Myriad Swords Gourd.

As for the location of the Myriad Swords Gourd, even Xuan Yuan Daoist didn't know, which disappointed Gu Yuan somewhat at the time. Otherwise, with a spiritual treasure in hand, Gu Yuan could have roamed freely in the Southern Border, and even if he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, he could still escape with it.

Furthermore, although Xuan Yuan Dao Ren does not know the exact location of the Myriad Swords Gourd, as the treasure of Linghu Island, its connection with the island is clearly difficult to sever.

As long as Gu Yuan gets within a certain range of the Myriad Swords Gourd, he will surely be able to sense something.

As for the importance of the Myriad Swords Gourd, although Xuan Yuan Daoist did not elaborate, Gu Yuan was not a fool and naturally understood just how valuable this item was.

Throughout the cultivation world of Southern Xinjiang, there are countless cultivation sects and families of all sizes. However, when it comes to the forces that possess spiritual treasures, Gu Yuan has only heard that the Yuanming Sect is suspected of having one.

Spiritual treasures are items that only beings at the level of Primordial Spirit True Immortals have the opportunity to refine, and they are also the foundation of Primordial Spirit level beings.

Having a spiritual treasure is equivalent to having a primordial spirit immortal guarding the mountain gate. Even if there are external enemies, the spiritual treasure can suppress the fate and resist the primordial spirit!

Leaving aside other things, take Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect for example. These three sects are powerful, but they don't have a single spiritual treasure.

Gu Yuan had heard a rumor about the Star River Sword Sect.

The Star River Sword Sect obtained one of the nine divine metals thousands of years ago. Afterwards, several sect leaders and elders joined forces to refine it, supposedly with the aim of turning it into a flying sword of the spirit treasure grade.

As for whether it was successful, apart from a few people from the Star River Sword Sect, no one else knew.

However, spiritual treasures are like nuclear bombs in Gu Yuan's previous life; they are extremely important strategic weapons. Once a country possesses one, its international standing changes drastically, making it a force to be reckoned with.

The same applies to Lingbao.

A cultivation sect that possesses a spiritual treasure is completely different from one that does not.

Those places with spiritual treasures to suppress their fortune are qualified to be called holy sites of cultivation, with a long lifespan and an unbroken lineage.

Those without spiritual treasures to suppress their fortune, such as Medicine King Mountain and Gu God Sect, can only be called first-rate cultivation sects, clearly inferior to "holy lands".

Therefore, the value of a spiritual treasure is immeasurable; it is undoubtedly priceless and cannot be bought with any amount of spirit stones.

Only elixirs, rare treasures, and spiritual objects of the same level might be qualified to be exchanged with it.

Therefore, the Myriad Swords Gourd is of paramount importance to Linghu Island and to Gu Yuan!
With the Myriad Swords Gourd, Gu Yuan can go anywhere in the world, and he can also use the Myriad Swords Gourd as a foundation to establish the Linghu Island Mountain Gate and make Linghu Island great!

"Fellow Daoist Su, are you trying to deceive me?"

Gu Yuan stared intently at Su Qiuyue and questioned, "I believe you if you say that Elder Hun Tian knows about the Myriad Swords Gourd, but do you think I'd believe you if you say that the clue to the Myriad Swords Gourd is on his son, Zheng Changlong?"

Su Qiuyue smiled and said meaningfully, "Since Brother Gu doesn't believe me, why are you so nervous?"

Gu Yuan wasn't angry. Instead, he quickly calmed down, tapped the hard tabletop lightly with his fingers, and said, "Fairy Su, remember, you're the one asking me for help, not the other way around. If you want my help, then you should have the attitude of asking for my help!"

The Myriad Swords Gourd was indeed extremely important and very precious, but Gu Yuan was not blinded by this news.

Because he was definitely not the only one eyeing the Myriad Swords Gourd; there were certainly many others in the shadows. Not to mention anything else, just the few Nascent Soul True Immortals who destroyed Spirit Gourd Island must have been paying close attention to it.

Even if we could get clues about Zheng Changlong, what good would it do?
