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

Chapter 470 Strange Beasts!
The Seven Mysterious Gourd is a special magical artifact from Gu Yuan's sect's Spirit Gourd Island. The complete set consists of seven unique gourd magical artifacts.

It has the function of sealing and concealing, is difficult to damage, and can be used to hide things.

Even if you manage to collect six gourds, you still can't open it unless you collect all seven.

Hidden within the Seven Mysterious Gourd are clues about the Myriad Swords Gourd, a treasure passed down through generations on Spirit Gourd Island.

The Myriad Swords Gourd is one of the most famous ancient spiritual treasures, ranking among the top among all spiritual treasures. Its importance is self-evident.

As a disciple of Linghu Island, Gu Yuan naturally has the responsibility and obligation to find it. Once he finds it, he can use it to continue the many traditions of Linghu Island and carry forward the Linghu Island lineage once again.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan himself was very interested in such a powerful spiritual treasure.

The status of a spiritual treasure is equivalent to that of a primordial spirit immortal. Once Gu Yuan obtains such a treasure, he will not only be able to dominate this world, but he will also have no reason to back down when encountering a primordial spirit immortal. He will have a chance to run away and escape.

Therefore, Gu Yuan has both the need and the interest to find the Seven Mysterious Gourd.

Previously, Daoist Xuanyuan had told Gu Yuan about the clues to the Earth Spirit Gourd and the Pure Yang Mysterious Gourd in the Seven Mysterious Gourds.

Within the Immortal City of Luofu, there are traces of the Earth Spirit Gourd.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan smiled and replied, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yu. If you don't mind, I will accompany you on this trip in a month."

Yu Qiubai was overjoyed to hear this and nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good. Fellow Daoist Gu, you continue your cultivation. I will come to call you in half a month."

With that, he closed the door and left happily.

Gu Yuan shook his head and chuckled. This fellow Daoist Yu Qiubai was actually quite old, at least a bit older than him.

However, because he rarely interacts with outsiders, he appears somewhat naive and innocent, and some of his behaviors and actions seem like those of a child.

However, compared to those cunning and treacherous people, you don't have to worry about being cheated or deceived when you associate with such people.

Next, Gu Yuan continued to refine his natal flying sword.

……

Half a month later, Yu Qiubai came to visit again to remind Gu Yuan that the time had come and that he should prepare to depart for Luofu Immortal City.

Gu Yuan was also ready, having brought all his important belongings with him, and followed Yu Qiubai out of the cave.

After walking along the mountain path for about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, a soft exclamation came from the right front.

"Junior Brother Yu, it's you. What are you going to do?"

Gu Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people walking towards him from the right front.

These people included both men and women. The men were either handsome and dashing or had clear and bright features, while the women had slender figures and excellent looks.

Judging from their clothes and scent, Gu Yuan could tell that these people were all Yu Qiubai's fellow disciples.

These people have varying levels of cultivation; some have already formed their Golden Core, while others are still only Celestial Realm cultivators.

The only one that deserved Gu Yuan's attention was one of the young cultivators.

This man was also a genuine Golden Core cultivator, not only handsome and tall, but also accompanied by a strange beast that resembled neither horse nor ox, covered in grayish-white scales and with a single emerald-green horn on its forehead. What caught Gu Yuan's attention was that this young cultivator's achievements were quite remarkable; his Golden Core was a second-grade Golden Core, which meant he possessed a slight chance of achieving the Nascent Soul True Immortal realm.

It is said that those who achieve the first grade of elixir have the potential to become true immortals, but in reality, achieving the first grade of elixir is not that easy.

If it were really that easy to achieve the highest grade of elixir, there wouldn't be so few primordial spirit immortals in this world.

Therefore, even in the East Sea cultivation world where cultivation is flourishing, this young cultivator is undoubtedly a top genius!
Besides the young cultivator, the strange beast beside him also puzzled Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan himself is also an expert in raising and controlling beasts, and he knows a lot about various spirit beasts, demon beasts, birds, Gu insects, and magical beasts.

However, he had never even heard of the strange beast before him.

Most importantly, he vaguely sensed that the beast's aura was somewhat strange. At this moment, its eyes were fixed on his dantian area, and a jade horn on its head was glowing.

Upon seeing this, the young cultivator was first taken aback, then quickly reacted, looked at Gu Yuan, and revealed a hint of fervor and even greed in his eyes.

The one who called out to Yu Qiubai was one of the women, who was slightly older than Yu Qiubai.

Yu Qiubai bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Qi."

Qi Yudie glanced at him, then at Gu Yuan beside her. She found his aura to be unremarkable and didn't think much of him, so she didn't take him seriously. She said, "Judging from Junior Brother Yu's hurried appearance, could it be that he is also planning to go to Luofu Immortal City to participate in this Treasure Exchange Conference?"

Yu Qiubai nodded: "What Senior Sister said is absolutely right. I am prepared to go and see for myself."

Qi Yudie nodded and said calmly, "Well, Junior Brother Yu, you rarely go out. This Treasure Exchange Conference is very lively, and many experts from all over the country will be going. If you go, you can broaden your horizons."

She said in an unquestionable tone, "However, the journey is long and there will inevitably be some dangers along the way. Junior brother, your cultivation is a bit weak. If you encounter trouble, it may affect the reputation of my Jade Magpie Island. Why don't you come with us?"

The woman's demeanor and words exuded an air of superiority, which was unpleasant.

Although Yu Qiubai was somewhat naive, he was not stupid. He knew that his relationship with these people was not good, and there were even some old grudges. Going to Luofu Immortal City together would only be asking for trouble.

So she decisively declined, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, Senior Sister. I've already made plans and will be setting off soon. Farewell..."

"Wait!"

Qi Yudie frowned, glanced at Gu Yuan beside her, and scolded, "Junior Brother Yu, who is this person? Judging from his appearance, could he be from outside the island?"

"Junior Brother Yu, let me remind you, you're so young and a bit too soft-hearted. You don't know the dangers of the world, so don't be fooled..."

"Calling me a liar? This woman must be out of her mind. What did I lie about?" Gu Yuan glanced at the woman again upon hearing this, feeling somewhat displeased.

If this weren't on Jade Magpie Island, their territory, Gu Yuan would have definitely slapped this guy a few times to teach him the price of foul mouth and spewing insults.

However, once they leave Jade Magpie Island, Gu Yuan really intends to teach this woman a lesson if he gets the chance.

Yu Qiubai's expression changed, and his face turned noticeably ugly. He said stiffly, "Thank you for reminding me, Senior Sister. However, Fellow Daoist Chu saved my life before, and he came to our Jade Magpie Island and accompanied me to Luofu Immortal City. I invited him, and he has done me a great favor. He is not a bad person. Senior Sister, it would be better if you did not slander me maliciously."

"It's getting late, I must go now, senior sister, please make yourself at home."

With that, Yu Qiubai prepared to leave with Gu Yuan.
