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

Chapter 484 Stalking!

"Thank you, Master."

After putting the item away, Gu Yuan thanked him and then asked, "Judging from what you just said, Master, are there other people besides us who are also searching for this item?"

Master Chai shook his head and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I'm not clear about anything."

Gu Yuan didn't speak, staring at the other person for a moment, knowing that the other person didn't want to get involved, lest they get themselves into trouble.

Gu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then took out a jade slip, placed it on the table, and said, "I understand what you mean, Master. After today, I actually came here with a different appearance, not my true one. So if anything happens, it will not involve you."

"In addition, this item contains the method for refining a spiritual treasure called the Measuring Ruler of Heaven. I will give it to you, Master. Your weapon-refining skills are unparalleled. I think that if you obtain this item, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."

Master Chai remained silent for a moment before saying, "All I know is that sixteen years ago, in this Luofu Immortal City, disciples of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace investigated this matter. Besides that, there should be other forces involved, but that's beyond my knowledge."

Jade Bridge Immortal Palace… Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, but after thinking about it, he wasn’t surprised at all.

The Jade Bridge Immortal Palace was one of the culprits who destroyed Spirit Gourd Island back then. It is quite normal that these people investigated the Seven Mysterious Gourd afterward, plotted against and set their sights on the Spirit Treasure Myriad Swords Gourd.

Coincidentally, Gu Yuan had just met Xue Shenhu, a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, not long ago.

However, since Gu Yuan crippled this person's arm, the consequences for him are likely to be dire, and his path will become difficult. It's uncertain whether he will come looking for trouble with Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan pondered that, given the somewhat chaotic atmosphere overseas, it was highly likely that disciples of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace had already come to Luofu Immortal City intending to regain their face.

As a disciple of a major sect, being severely injured and crippled by an unknown nobody would surely be unable to swallow this insult and would definitely send someone to retaliate. Otherwise, once word gets out, how will the disciples of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace ever travel the world again?

Gu Yuan naturally didn't care too much about this.

He has now forged a celestial-grade golden elixir.

His supernatural abilities far surpassed what they had before, and he was not afraid at all even if the disciples of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace came knocking on his door.

This is, after all, Luofu Immortal Island. Although Yuqiao Immortal Palace is a force of the same level, it would never go to great lengths and incur huge costs to disrupt Luofu Immortal City just because of a minor character like him.

To put it bluntly, even though Gu Yuan displayed terrifying strength when he severely injured Xue Shenhu, the people of Yuqiao Immortal Palace will not take him too seriously.

At least no one at the Yangshen level would be involved; Gu Yuan doesn't have that much influence.

Since no powerful Yang God intervened, Gu Yuan naturally wasn't too worried about the matter.

If trouble really comes knocking, he has ways to avoid or deal with it.

When the time comes, we'll fight and kill as needed; it's entirely up to Gu Yuan to decide what to do.

As for the other forces, Gu Yuan was basically aware of them. However, compared to the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, the other forces were distributed in other areas of the East Sea. In the area of ​​tens of thousands of miles around Luofu Immortal Island, their strength was not considered strong.

On the contrary, the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace is adjacent to the Luofu Immortal Island.

Therefore, Gu Yuan basically only needs to be wary of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace. As for other forces, he only needs to keep a close eye on them.

"Thank you, Master."

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan stood up, smiled and nodded to him, saying, "To avoid causing trouble for the master, I will not disturb you any longer. Farewell..."

After saying this, Gu Yuan turned and left.

For some reason, Gu Yuan felt a strange sensation rising in his heart.

If it were someone else, they might overlook this feeling, but Gu Yuan was different. With his unprecedented achievement of a Celestial Golden Core, Gu Yuan already possessed all sorts of incredible potential.

This gave Gu Yuan a strange, almost supernatural, ability to sense things before they even begin. He could sense, to some extent, anything related to him.

The same is true now.

This made Gu Yuan feel uneasy and wary.

As for Master Chai, he stared at Gu Yuan's back, opened his mouth and murmured a few times, but ultimately said nothing. However, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

The Earth Spirit Gourd is a crucial treasure, related to the whereabouts of a spiritual artifact; however, everything has two sides.

Although the Earth Spirit Gourd is important, it is also a big problem in itself, and even he has to live in fear because of it.

After obtaining this item, he was constantly terrified and extremely worried.

Although Gu Yuan has now taken this item, he has lost this treasure, but it has also saved him from a lot of trouble later on.

So now, he really doesn't know whether he feels more resentment or gratitude towards Gu Yuan.

……

"Huh? Someone's watching me?"

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Gu Yuan felt a sudden urge and immediately sensed something.

His gaze shifted and landed on a middle-aged cultivator in somewhat tattered clothes not far away.

The aura emanating from this person was not particularly strong; in Gu Yuan's view, he was merely at the level of an ordinary Celestial Realm cultivator. However, this person was uniquely shrouded in a strange aura.

This aura made the person's presence weak, making them inconspicuous in a crowd.

Even when stared at face-to-face by this person, no one could detect him and continued to do their own thing.

Clearly, this person has cultivated and used some kind of special supernatural power.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was staring at Gu Yuan. Ever since Gu Yuan came out of the Treasure Pavilion, his eyes had been fixed on him.

This gave Gu Yuan a sudden feeling—this person had already set his sights on him.

Gu Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at the Treasure Pavilion behind him, only to see a servant inside who was sneakily peeking at him with a hint of unease.

When the servant met Gu Yuan's gaze, he was startled and quickly withdrew his head, looking rather guilty.

Gu Yuan suddenly understood and realized what was going on.
Good heavens, it turns out that Chai Kun had already been targeted all along.

Now that he has come into contact with Chai Kun, he has obviously become a target.

As for the identity of the person behind the scenes...

Gu Yuan already had a vague guess in his mind, and it was probably mostly related to the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace.

After all, the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace has been investigating this matter and seems to already know that Master Chai has obtained the Earth Spirit Gourd, but for some reason, they haven't started asking him for it yet.

Gu Yuan glanced at the servant boy once before looking away.

Such a minor character is not worth his personal attention.

However, after being glanced at by Gu Yuan, the servant was struck dumb. His face turned pale, then flushed red, then deep red, and finally scarlet. He then vomited a mouthful of blood and began to convulse as if having a seizure. His face was contorted with bulging veins, and he made strange "uh uh uh" sounds.
