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

Chapter 461 Jade Magpie Island!
"Ancestor Xuan Sheng?"

Gu Yuan noticed the title. The title "Ancestor" is not something that ordinary people can bear. Normally, in the cultivation world, only Yin God giants and above are qualified to be called Ancestor.

Of course, there are also some self-important, very old Golden Core cultivators who call themselves "Ancestors".

However, judging from the cultivation level of that half-human, half-demon hybrid, Ancestor Xuan Sheng was clearly no ordinary character.

"What is the background of this Ancestor Xuan Sheng?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

Yu Qiubai said solemnly, "A powerful Yang God!"

A powerful Yang God?

Gu Yuan nodded, not overly afraid. He had indeed seen beings of this level before, and had offended two of them.

For example, there is a leader of the Gu God Sect, and Zhu Que Shenjun of his own Medicine King Mountain.

Gu Yuan then asked, "Tell me in detail."

Seeing Gu Yuan's calm and composed demeanor, Yu Qiubai subconsciously revealed some of what he knew: "It is said that this Ancestor Xuan Sheng is not a pure great demon, but a human-demon hybrid. His father was a clam spirit, and his mother was a cultivator."

"Ancestor Xuan Sheng himself had excellent aptitude and innate talent, and eventually cultivated to the realm of Yang Shen Great Power. Moreover, this demon does not seem to like humans or demons, but rather particularly likes to take those human-demon hybrids as disciples."

"Does he like to take in half-human, half-demon disciples?"

Gu Yuan nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

“Fellow Daoist Chu, if you want to know these things, why don’t we talk about it somewhere else? Now that news of Yan Xi’s death has probably spread, it will definitely be very troublesome if someone finds their way here.”

However, Yu Qiubai hesitated, glancing at Gu Yuan's storage bag, and couldn't help but say, "Especially what you just did..."

"Fellow Daoist Yu, are you saying that I just dug out this fellow's golden core? Is that somewhat taboo?"

Seeing his reaction, Gu Yuan knew exactly what the other person wanted to say. He smiled and said, "In that case, let's go somewhere else."

"So much the better."

Yu Qiubai nodded repeatedly and left with Gu Yuan without waiting.

However, before leaving, Gu Yuan decisively unleashed a burst of real fire, burning Yan Xi's corpse to ashes and destroying all evidence.

His movements were incredibly skillful, but Yu Qiubai grew increasingly nervous, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan held a hint of horror.

How many times must Gu Yuan have done this to become so adept and skilled at it...?

To avoid trouble, the two flew tens of thousands of miles, changing direction several times along the way, and also removing and concealing their scent.

Eventually, the two arrived at a deserted island and stopped there.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, that Ancestor Xuan Sheng is eccentric and has always been quite protective of his own, so you must not reveal what just happened."

Yu Qiubai gave earnest instructions, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Besides, you offended Iron Plow Island because you were trying to save me. You'd better come with me later to escape this calamity."

"I am but a disciple of the Qingmu Ancestor from Jade Magpie Island. Once you arrive at Jade Magpie Island, even if the Xuan Sheng Ancestor were to eat the gall of a bear and the heart of a leopard, he would absolutely not dare to offend you lightly."

"Although they don't know yet that you killed Yan Xi, the Xuan Sheng Ancestor's lineage often has a special skill. As long as they kill someone from their Iron Plow Island, they will be tainted with something and then use it to find you."

"Ancestor Xuan Sheng is vengeful and will surely send people to search for your whereabouts." Jade Magpie Island? Ancestor Qingmu?

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan immediately understood that Yu Qiubai was also a figure of great importance, no less so than those from Iron Plow Island.

As for the special skills of the Xuan Sheng Ancestor lineage that Yu Qiubai mentioned later, Gu Yuan listened for a moment but did not take them to heart.

To a powerful being of the Yang God realm, a Golden Core cultivator is nothing more than a large ant. Yan Xi's death might alarm Ancestor Xuan Sheng, but it wouldn't warrant such a being personally taking action to find the murderer.

Therefore, Gu Yuan naturally didn't care too much.

He knew some information about Jade Magpie Island. This island was the Daoist temple of the powerful Yang God, Ancestor Qingmu. Although Ancestor Qingmu's cultivation was comparable to that of Ancestor Xuancheng, the key was that this big shot was a rogue female immortal cultivator, and her senior brother was even a Nascent Soul True Immortal!
This is why the Fairy Qingmu holds a rather extraordinary position in the cultivation world of the East Sea.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, there’s no need to worry. Actually, before killing Yan Xi, I had already killed several disciples of Iron Plow Island. One of them should have been Yan Xi’s junior brother, who was also a Golden Core cultivator. I killed him as well.”

Gu Yuan laughed and said, "So, to be honest, I've already offended Iron Plow Island a long time ago."

Seeing that Yu Qiubai was quite worried, considering all sorts of situations for him, and even inviting him to go to Yuque Island to avoid disaster, Gu Yuan thought more highly of this person.

Since entering the cultivation world, Gu Yuan has met all sorts of people. The vast majority of them are the kind who won't do anything without a profit. As for kind-hearted and honest people, it's not that they don't exist, but Gu Yuan has at least not met many.

Therefore, people like Yu Qiubai are very rare.

Of course, Gu Yuan could sense that what the other party had just said was all from the bottom of their heart, and there was no deception involved.

Furthermore, as far as Gu Yuan knew, Jade Magpie Island and Fairy Qingmu had quite a good reputation.

……

Before killing Yan Xi, he had already killed several disciples of Iron Plow Island, including one Golden Core cultivator...

Yu Qiubai fell silent after hearing Gu Yuan's words.

Recalling the terrifying swordsmanship Gu Yuan displayed when he made his move, Yu Qiubai had no doubts; on the contrary, he was quite astonished by Gu Yuan's strength.

Furthermore, a slight doubt arose in his mind.

The fact that a Celestial Realm cultivator can kill a Golden Core cultivator is extremely rare, even in a sacred cultivation ground like the East Sea. Why does Brother Chu speak of it so naturally and casually, without a trace of pride, but rather as if it were commonplace?

Gu Yuan could see that Yu Qiubai was clearly somewhat puzzled, but he was too lazy to think about it too much, so he simply accepted the invitation and said:
"If it won't bother you, then please lead the way, Fellow Daoist Yu."

"Don't bother, don't bother."

Upon hearing that Gu Yuan had agreed to visit his sect, Yu Qiubai was quite excited, feeling a joy similar to that he had experienced when Gu Yuan invited his childhood friends to his home in his previous life.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's set off."

"it is good."

……

Gu Yuan's reason for going to Jade Magpie Island was that his understanding of the cultivation world in the East Sea mainly came from various records within his own Medicine King Mountain. However, these records were somewhat one-sided and not as accurate and comprehensive as those he learned about directly.

Secondly, it's because that Fairy Qingmu has a good reputation; at least she's not the kind of person who goes back on her word and is infamous.

Gu Yuan is now looking for a place to break through to the Golden Core stage, so naturally he needs to find a suitable place.
