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

Chapter 471 Xue Shenhu!
"and many more……"

Yu Qiubai frowned, and Gu Yuan felt a sense of surprise, because it was not Qi Yudie who said these words, but the young cultivator.

The young man looked at Gu Yuan with a smile and said, "Young brother, do you have a spiritual root on you?"

Qi Yudie, who was standing to the side, was somewhat surprised to see this, but she did not say anything.

She knew the young man's identity very well. What kind of treasure could a spiritual root be that could interest him?
Little brother?
Gu Yuan remained calm. He was on someone else's turf, and in order to keep a low profile, he deliberately concealed his cultivation level.

However, in reality, he and the other party were both Golden Core cultivators, and he had even forged an unprecedented Immortal-grade Golden Core.

However, what the other party said surprised Gu Yuan. What other spiritual root could he have besides the Creation Green Lotus?
Considering what just happened, could it be that the strange beast the other party was raising had sensed his Creation Lotus?

Immediately, Gu Yuan glanced at the strange beast beside the other party, then released his aura and said in a calm tone, "So what if it is, and so what if it isn't?"

A Golden Core cultivator?!

Qi Yudie's expression changed, and her gaze towards Gu Yuan became more solemn. Since he was a Golden Core cultivator and could hide his cultivation level so well that they couldn't see through him, it meant that Gu Yuan's methods were extraordinary.

Even the young cultivator, Xue Shenhu, raised an eyebrow in surprise upon seeing this.

He then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu, please do not misunderstand. My surname is Xue, and my given name is Shenhu. I am a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace. This Kui Ming Beast that I raise is a mutated demon beast with the ability to find treasures. I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you."

Just as I expected... Gu Yuan glanced at the so-called Kuiming Beast indifferently. Although he didn't say anything, the Kuiming Beast's scales bristled, and it let out a low growl as if facing a formidable enemy. Its eyes were filled with intense fear and apprehension.

Seeing this, Xue Shenhu couldn't help but feel somewhat surprised and uncertain. Even if he was slow to realize, he knew that Gu Yuan was clearly not simple. However, thinking about the treasure on Gu Yuan's body that resembled a top-tier spiritual root, he couldn't help but say:
"The reason I stopped you, fellow Daoist, is that I am interested in your spiritual root. If you are interested, I am willing to trade a magic weapon and 150,000 spirit stones for it. What do you think?"

A magical artifact, worth 150,000 spirit stones?
Upon hearing this, not to mention Gu Yuan, even those around Xue Shenhu gasped in shock.

Although the cultivation world in the East Sea is rich in resources, this is only relative.

Furthermore, the vast majority of resources are concentrated in the hands of a few highly skilled and top-tier figures. Ordinary cultivators like them are already fortunate to have a magical artifact for protection.

As for magical treasures, they are not common even on Jade Magpie Island.

Every magical artifact has a limited number of uses.

Why was Yu Qiubai unpopular on Yuque Island?
His sullen temperament and few friends were partly due to his introverted nature, but another reason was that Yu Qiubai had excellent aptitude and was highly regarded by his teachers. He also possessed a magical treasure, which aroused jealousy and resentment.

For a moment, everyone was quite excited, and their gazes toward Gu Yuan became somewhat unusual.

If they heard correctly, Gu Yuan wasn't one of their fellow disciples, yet he carried such a treasure with him—he was incredibly bold.

Gu Yuan scoffed inwardly upon hearing this.

The Creation Lotus is incredibly precious; it can be said to be one of the most valuable things he possesses.

Even his Black Dragon Halberd is inferior; only his two natal magic weapons, the Taiyuan Jade Scenery Sword and the Taiyi Golden Bell, can compare to it.

The reason for this is that the Black Dragon Halberd has already taken shape and is essentially a handy divine weapon, while the Creation Green Lotus has infinite potential, can absorb nutrients to grow, and eventually has the opportunity to grow into an innate spiritual root comparable to a spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, this item has now been refined by Gu Yuan, and for him, it is also a natal item, so how could it be compared to a mere magic weapon?

"Forget about the deal, I'm not interested." Gu Yuan said impatiently, then looked at Yu Qiubai: "Fellow Daoist Yu, let's go."

"Ugh!"

Although Yu Qiubai didn't know the exact situation, he was instinctively annoyed with these people.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, please wait. If you are not satisfied, everything is negotiable."

Xue Shenhu's expression turned grim upon seeing this. He had displayed astonishing talent for cultivation since childhood and had always had a smooth journey, never having witnessed anything like this before.

He was quite displeased that someone dared to ignore him like that.

If this weren't not his sect's location, and if Gu Yuan didn't seem like someone to be trifled with, he would have already taken action and robbed him.

"have nothing to say."

Gu Yuan glanced at him, seemingly seeing through his thoughts: "It's my own stuff, and I don't want to trade it. I've made it very clear. Can't you understand human language? Or are you planning to use your power to coerce me into a sale?"

Xue Shenhu's face was grim, and he was speechless for a moment, his murderous aura surging forth.

"Hmph, let's put the transaction aside for now. Fellow Daoist Chu, what is your identity? What are your intentions in coming to my Jade Magpie Island? Shouldn't you explain yourself clearly?"

Seeing her beloved being humiliated, Qi Yudie, who was standing nearby, could no longer sit still and immediately questioned him.

It was obvious that they wanted to teach Gu Yuan a lesson on behalf of Xue Shenhu.

However, Qi Yudie was standing up for her lover, which seemed like a show of loyalty and righteousness, but Gu Yuan, the person involved, was unhappy.

Anyone who is falsely accused would feel just as upset as he did.

It's one thing that I've been entangled with Xue Shenhu for no reason, but what does it have to do with you, Qi Yudie? It's none of your business to meddle in other people's affairs.
Gu Yuan snorted coldly: "Your ancestor knows very well who I am. It's not your place to meddle in other people's business."

As he spoke, he waved his hand without any politeness.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Qi Yudie's head tilted to the side, all her teeth fell out, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving a red and swollen handprint on her cheek.

Qi Yudie also possessed considerable talent in cultivation. She was about the same age as Yu Qiubai, perhaps a few years older, but she had already formed her Golden Core.

Judging from Gu Yuan's eyesight, it was clearly a third-grade elixir, which was quite an achievement, possessing the potential of a Yin spirit or even a Yang spirit.

However, Qi Yudie's achievements are far inferior to Gu Yuan's.

It could even be said that the gap between Qi Yudie and Gu Yuan is much greater than the gap between a mid-grade Core Formation cultivator and a first-grade Golden Core cultivator!
Therefore, Gu Yuan could hit her as easily as crushing an ant, with his hand holding her tightly.

While slapping him, Gu Yuan deliberately used his magic power to seal his cultivation for a moment, preventing him from reacting.

After doing all this, Gu Yuan looked at the astonished Xue Shenhu and sneered, "And you, do you really think I can't sense your malice?"
