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

Chapter 493 Gu Xuanfeng!
Gu Yuan sized the man up and down and said, "Who do you think you are? Are you a primordial spirit immortal or a banished immortal incarnate? You think you can make me listen to you with just a few words? You've been eating too much shit."

As soon as Gu Yuan said this, there was a moment of silence, followed by bursts of snickers, with many people nearby unable to help but laugh out loud.

After these people appeared, they acted aggressively and bossily, which was unpleasant. Moreover, anyone with a little knowledge could tell from their clothes that they were disciples of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace and had a very powerful background.

Everyone initially thought this was just another case of bullying the powerful. Although they felt a little sorry for the young man Gu Yuan, since offending a disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace would be a fatal blow to an ordinary cultivator, they also wanted to see what would happen next.

However, now, Gu Yuan, facing the group, launched into a tirade of insults, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

The disciples of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace looked extremely ugly, but they could not defy the wrath of the crowd and could only vent their anger on Gu Yuan.

The young man in front of Gu Yuan ignored Gu Yuan and instead looked at the old man who ran the stall: "Senior, I am Gu Xuanfeng, a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace. I want that piece of black iron from earlier. As for the price, I can offer Chu He twice the price."

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he didn't know whether the other party had figured out the origin of the black iron or was simply venting their anger, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

Gu Yuan sneered, "You surnamed Gu, my deal with this senior is already complete, but now you intend to continue to interfere? Do you have too many spirit stones and nowhere to spend them?"

Gu Xuanfeng glanced at him coldly but did not speak, seemingly disdainful of talking to Gu Yuan.

“Young friend, you’re right. The deal is done. Even if you offer ten times the price, it’s none of my business.”

The old man said calmly.

He naturally wouldn't get involved in the mess between Gu Yuan and Yuqiao Immortal Palace, but there were certain rules he had to abide by.

Otherwise, once the news gets out, not only will some old friends laugh at him, but his reputation will also be ruined.

"Senior, I think you'd better think this through. The transaction just now wasn't actually over, because I already spoke up to stop it."

Gu Xuanfeng frowned at first, then said in a deep voice, "Also, I can offer a higher price! If there are any other conditions, you can also bring them up, senior."

As he spoke, Gu Xuanfeng was full of confidence. As a true disciple of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace and an ordinary Yin God giant, he had nothing to fear. Moreover, the conditions he proposed were already quite generous. Even if the other party was dissatisfied, the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace behind him would surely agree.

When Gu Xuanfeng said this, many people were secretly surprised. This guy was quite bold, daring to threaten a Yin God giant.

And the conditions he proposed were indeed generous. Could it be that the black iron block was really an unknown treasure?

"Kid, you're threatening me..."

However, to many people's surprise, the old stall owner not only refused, but also sneered and said, "Even your ancestor, that ancient monster, wouldn't dare to say such a thing to me. How dare you threaten an old man like me?"

He shook his head slightly and sighed, "It seems that over the years, some people in the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace have become more and more backward in their cultivation, even teaching their disciples to be such stupid people."

As he spoke, the old man stood up somewhat listlessly, waved his hand, and packed up all the stalls in front of him. Then, he leisurely walked up to Gu Xuanfeng.

At this moment, Gu Xuanfeng's expression had already changed after hearing the words "Old Stranger," and now he had an ominous premonition.

"Senior, this is a misunderstanding, I..." "Misunderstanding? Hmph!"

The old man raised his hand and patted Gu Xuanfeng on the shoulder, saying, "Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to me to decide."

The moment he finished speaking, he had vanished from everyone's sight.

As for Gu Xuanfeng, after being slapped, his face turned pale and he became dazed and confused. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and swayed precariously, barely managing to fall to the ground.

Clearly, the old stall owner hadn't let him off the hook and had punished Gu Xuanfeng.

"..."

The other disciples of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace looked at each other with grim expressions, but none of them intended to investigate the old man's identity. Clearly, the old man's background was not insignificant, and continuing to investigate might bring them trouble. Therefore, the group wisely decided not to pursue the matter further.

However, while the group dared not pursue the old man, they showed no fear of Gu Yuan whatsoever.

Xue Shenhu, the one-armed man, stepped forward, glared at Gu Yuan with hostility, and then quickly took out a healing pill and stuffed it into Gu Xuanfeng's mouth, making him swallow it.

Gu Xuanfeng then felt better and regained his senses.

Having figured out what had just happened, he was both shocked and furious, but dared not continue to spout nonsense lest he offend some powerful figure. So he simply turned his anger towards Gu Yuan.

He looked at Gu Yuan, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "You surnamed Chu, I'll give you a chance. Hand over that piece of black iron from earlier, and I can spare your life."

Spare my life?

Gu Yuan glanced at Gu Xuanfeng with amusement and said, "I wonder who it was just now, trying to show off and become a saint in front of others, but instead almost got killed by that senior."

"Heh... You spared my life? You dare to say such things?"

While mocking him, Gu Yuan realized that the black iron block that looked like a broken tile was indeed an unknown treasure, and at least Gu Xuanfeng should know something about it.

However, it was obviously not easy to get the other party to tell Gu Yuan, and Gu Yuan had no intention of asking—as long as he studied it later, or activated the Taiyi Golden Bell to see the changes it produced, he might be able to find out the origin of the black iron block.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Forget about the stuff. Unless you kneel down and call me grandpa, I won't give it to you."

Gu Yuan's gaze swept over the group, lingering on Gu Xuanfeng and Xue Shenhu for a moment before he said bluntly, "You didn't come here for this thing, but for me. Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

He was perceptive and could tell from various details that Gu Xuanfeng had not come specifically for the "broken tile" from earlier, but for him.

Gu Xuanfeng's face was gloomy, but he did not deny it. As for Xue Shenhu, he only glanced coldly at Gu Yuan, then took a step back, letting Gu Xuanfeng speak: "Senior Brother Gu, I beg you..."

Gu Xuanfeng naturally understood Xue Shenhu's meaning, but he was in a bad mood, so he ignored Xue Shenhu and instead glanced at another disciple next to him. The disciple understood and took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yuan.
