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

Chapter 479 Barbarians!

Among them were even some tall, hairy, dark-skinned, bronze-colored barbarians, exuding a savage and menacing aura, with rough but blood-stained weapons such as large axes, short spears, and iron whips hanging at their waists.

Furthermore, these barbarians possessed extremely powerful qi and blood, clearly resembling those of body cultivators.

Gu Yuan also saw an old barbarian.

The old barbarian was thin and frail, unlike the other barbarians who were tall and strong. His once imposing figure had become hunched over, and his back was somewhat stooped.

Her sparse hair was braided into several small braids, which fluttered in the wind.

At this moment, the old barbarian was leaning on an ebony cane that was taller than himself, waiting in line in front of Gu Yuan to enter the city.

He appeared old and frail, needing the support of other barbarians, yet Gu Yuan could sense the terrifyingly profound power of blood and qi hidden within this old barbarian's body.

This is a seasoned body cultivator, comparable to a Golden Core Grandmaster, and also a Gu cultivator skilled in Gu techniques.

Because Gu Yuan clearly saw that tentacles and other similar things were occasionally emerging from the old man's clothes.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan himself was also a half-cultivator of Gu, having raised several powerful spirit insects, so he naturally had some sensitivity to Gu insects.

However, it is rather strange that the barbarian tribe, who mostly live in the deep mountains and forests of the southern border, and are practically fellow countrymen with Gu Yuan, have also come to the East Sea.

In addition, the barbarians have always lived deep in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs, and do not know why they came to the East Sea.

Seemingly sensing Gu Yuan's gaze, the old barbarian slowly turned around and met Gu Yuan's eyes.

The old barbarian's eyes were somewhat cloudy, yet they revealed a terrifying ferocity that intimidated the mind.

An ordinary cultivator might be traumatized or even have their mind damaged if they just glanced at him.

However, Gu Yuan seemed unaffected, his expression indifferent, and he simply nodded calmly.

The old barbarian was taken aback, then nodded and turned away.

When you're out in the world, you can be arrogant and domineering, and you can act recklessly, but you absolutely cannot lack strength, and you absolutely cannot lack discernment.

The old barbarian may appear old and frail, but this is merely an appearance.

In fact, he has a keen eye and knows who is easy to mess with and who is not, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.

Given Gu Yuan's ability to conceal himself, the old barbarian naturally couldn't see anything. However, it was precisely because of this that he realized Gu Yuan was not simple, so he didn't pursue the matter but instead showed a bit of goodwill.

Besides a few barbarians, Gu Yuan also discovered several other oddities.

For example, there was actually a special monster to Gu Yuan's left front.

This was a man, quite handsome, and with extraordinary cultivation. However, on his forehead and cheeks, there were some light blue scales, making him look like some kind of sea fish.

Gu Yuan had a keen sense of smell and could detect a faint fishy odor emanating from the person.

"So they were sea creatures..."

Gu Yuan suddenly realized who this person was.

The so-called sea people are actually a demon race.

To be precise, the sea creatures are various sea beasts, fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles, and other creatures that, after reaching a certain size, transform into human form and become a race in sufficient numbers.

Over time, such races may develop into intelligent races.

Although they are demons, because there are no other demon races on land or in the sky, these sea monsters do not consider themselves demons, but rather call themselves sea creatures.

Yan Xi, whom Gu Yuan killed earlier, was a half-human, half-demon. In fact, the other half of his bloodline was both demon and sea race.

Besides the person in front of him, there were many other sea creatures around. For example, Gu Yuan saw a woman with a tall and graceful figure, but her hands and feet resembled octopus tentacles.

This woman was clearly an octopus demon in human form, but because her cultivation was somewhat lacking, she had not fully transformed into human form.

People entered the city little by little. When it was Gu Yuan's turn, he was stopped by two cultivators.

These two were just ordinary cultivators, dressed in standard white robes, with a strange, enormous beast embroidered on their chests in some kind of golden thread. It was neither fish nor bird, exuding a carefree and leisurely charm.

"Kunpeng?!"

Gu Yuan was surprised, but on the surface he remained calm.

The Kunpeng is an ancient mythical beast, and in terms of status, it is comparable to the true dragon and the divine phoenix.

Its status is even above that of mythical beasts such as the Bashe and Qingluan.

The two people in front of them were clearly just ordinary disciples of Luofu Immortal Island, responsible for guarding the gates of the immortal city. The fact that their clothes were embroidered with the Kunpeng was obviously a bit strange.

"Senior, is this your first time visiting our Luofu Immortal Island?"

One of the disciples from Luofu Immortal Island, holding a bronze plate-shaped magical artifact, seemed to sense something and asked in a deep voice.

Although Gu Yuan was a Golden Core cultivator, his expression showed no fear or reverence whatsoever, and he spoke with a strong voice, clearly indicating that the confidence he had gained was backed by the Luofu Immortal Island.

"good."

Gu Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

"Dare you ask me your senior's name?"

"Chu River! Chu in Chuzhou, and He in river."

Gu Yuan replied.

The disciple nodded, took out an iron plaque from his storage bag, muttered incantations, and cast some kind of spell.

Before long, a flash of light appeared, and the surface of the iron plate gained a layer of spiritual light.

The disciple handed the iron token to Gu Yuan and said, "This is your identity token. Remember, you must never leave this item, otherwise you will be expelled from the city. Moreover, this item can only be used for three months, after which you will need to replenish it. In addition, senior, you need to pay a city entry fee of one hundred spirit stones."

Gu Yuan nodded calmly and took the iron plate. He saw the words "Chu He" on the front, and there seemed to be some kind of complex restriction on it, which Gu Yuan could not imitate at all.

Moreover, this iron plaque seems to have a mysterious connection with the celestial formation.

Gu Yuan wasn't surprised at all. He simply put the item away and paid with spirit stones.

After Yu Qiubai behind them finished processing his identity token, the two went directly into the city.

As soon as we entered the city, a cacophony of noise erupted around us, as if we had stepped out of stillness and into another world.

Looking ahead, there is a wide, long street, bustling with people coming and going in an endless stream, extremely lively.

Among them were cultivators, sea creatures, and barbarians.

Looking out, the entire street seemed to stretch endlessly, lined with various shops and restaurants on both sides, with people coming and going, and the sounds of bustling activity filling the air—it was truly lively and extraordinary.

Celestial Realm cultivators and Golden Core cultivators, who are rarely seen on ordinary days, are practically everywhere here.

It's fair to say that if Gu Yuan casually threw a brick on the street, he could hit five or six cultivators at the Celestial Realm, one of whom might even be a Golden Core cultivator.
