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

Chapter 497 First-Grade Golden Core: Xu Haoran!

While strolling down the street, Gu Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at the cultivator who had appeared in front of him.

This young man, dressed in a white robe, had a handsome face, bright eyes like morning stars, and a faint smile on his lips, which often made people feel a sense of goodwill.

Furthermore, this person's cultivation level is not weak either; he is a Golden Core cultivator, whose cultivation level is comparable to Gu Yuan's, and he seems to have just recently broken through to the Golden Core realm.

Of course, Gu Yuan had exceptional eyesight and could see more than just that. He could also tell that this person was about the same age as Xue Shenhu and Gu Xuanfeng, but he had already achieved the first rank of Dan, making him a peerless genius on par with Li Changsheng and Gu Xuanqing.

"Is there something you need, fellow Daoist?"

Gu Yuan said calmly.

Gu Yuan had only ever met one person who had achieved the highest rank in Dancheng (a type of alchemy), Li Changsheng. To be honest, such people possessed the potential to cultivate a primordial spirit, so they were quite rare to encounter.

Compared to Li Changsheng, the young man in front of him was clearly inferior in cultivation, but his aura was mysterious and powerful, and he had a sharp edge hidden beneath his skin, so he was definitely not a simple person.

What surprised Gu Yuan even more was that he vaguely sensed that the other party was seemingly targeting him specifically.

"My name is Xu Haoran. I greet Fellow Daoist Chu."

Xu Haoran smiled and bowed. With his outstanding appearance and gentle and refined temperament, he did not have the slightest condescending attitude. Instead, he gave Gu Yuan a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

On the surface, that's how it seems, but in reality, Xu Haoran was quite astonished.

As a first-grade Golden Core cultivator who has also cultivated the special divine eye ability, his eyesight is naturally extraordinary. He can see through the background of ordinary cultivators, as well as Golden Core cultivators and Yin God giants with just a glance.

But Chu He before him was like a fog; he couldn't discern anything about the man's cultivation level, the attributes of the Taoist scriptures he practiced, or his mental fluctuations.

He felt that the young man in front of him was extremely mysterious, and even felt a long-lost sense of danger.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

You must know, he's a Grand Master who has reached the first rank of Core Formation!

He was curious and wanted to use his divine eye to see if he could see through Gu Yuan's secrets. However, when his eyes met Gu Yuan's, a premonition made him immediately give up the idea.

Furthermore, he overturned his previous impression of Gu Yuan and became much more cautious and prudent.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Xu. Is there something you need from me?"

Gu Yuan was also somewhat surprised, and even a hint of doubt arose in his mind.

After receiving Gu Xuanfeng's challenge on the Life and Death Arena, Gu Yuan spent some spirit stones to purchase intelligence and learn about some important figures in the East Sea cultivation world.

Besides the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, he also made a point of learning about Luofu Immortal Island.

After all, he's currently on Luofu Immortal Island's territory, and it's definitely not acceptable for him to be completely unaware.

As far as Gu Yuan knew, there were also many outstanding and talented disciples among the younger generation of Luofu Immortal Island.

Xu Haoran, standing before us, is one of the best among them. I never expected him to have achieved the first-grade elixir.

Gu Yuan found it strange; he wondered what the other party wanted to see him about.

Xu Haoran nodded: "Indeed, there is something I need to discuss with Brother Chu."

Seeing that the other party had no hostility and genuinely wanted to talk, and considering the other party's status, Gu Yuan looked around and smiled, "I've heard that Wangfenglou's Seven Star Eel and Silverback Snow Shrimp are quite good, and their Hundred Fruit Stuffed Fruit is also exceptional. I'd like to invite Fellow Daoist Xu to try some. How about we eat and chat?"

Xu Haoran laughed and said, "Wangfeng Tower is the property of one of my martial uncles. Brother Chu is a guest in Luofu Immortal City, so how could I let you treat me?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony..."

"It should."

Xu Haoran smiled gently.

The two then headed towards Wangfeng Tower. Wangfeng Tower was a well-known restaurant in Luofu Immortal City, employing many master chefs who were skilled at cooking various delicacies from the sea, all of which were spiritual dishes.

Not only does it have excellent color, aroma, and taste, but long-term consumption is also very beneficial for cultivators.

In addition, Gu Yuan had also heard Yu Qiubai mention that there was a kind of dragon feast in this Wangfeng Tower, which was said to be made with the heart, liver, flesh, blood, tendons and other ingredients of a dragon. Not only did it have a unique taste, but it was also very beneficial to Golden Core cultivators and Yin God giants.

However, such a banquet is often a rare and precious opportunity, and in terms of its level, it is comparable in price to a mid- to high-grade magic weapon, which is something that most people may not be able to afford.

Furthermore, the Wind Watch Tower also houses a Hundred Fruit Brew, made from over a hundred kinds of spiritual fruits.

Not only does it taste sweet and fragrant with a lingering aftertaste, but it is also quite beneficial for cultivation.

Xu Haoran seemed to have been here many times before, and he led Gu Yuan to Wangfeng Tower with ease.

As soon as they entered the hall, a servant and a maid came to greet them.

"So it's Young Master Xu, and this distinguished guest. Please come in, both of you!"

Upon seeing Xu Haoran, he was startled, then quickly smiled and invited him on.

"The usual place, shall we?"

Xu Haoran gave an instruction, then led Gu Yuan to a private room on the fifth floor.

After entering the private room, Gu Yuan looked around a few times and couldn't help but nod.

The private room was exquisitely and elegantly decorated, with incense burning in the corner, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Especially at this moment, with the window open, you can walk along the street to the window and see the scene on the street.

A sea breeze carries a faint fishy smell, but it's not unpleasant to the eye.

The two sat facing each other, and a maidservant poured them some spiritual tea.

Before long, one dish after another of the ordered delicacies were served, and they were indeed a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate.

Gu Yuan tasted it and found it to be delicious and easy to eat.

"Brother Chu, how is it? Does it suit your taste?"

Xu Haoran asked with a smile.

"It tastes good, just my style."

Gu Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and began to eat heartily.

As a body cultivator, he naturally possessed abundant qi and blood, a powerful physique, and an astonishingly large appetite.

Even with his current cultivation level, he could easily sustain himself by consuming qi, but if he really wanted to eat, Gu Yuan could easily eat several cows a day.

Yes, these aren't ordinary cows, but spirit cows that have been carefully raised and fed on spirit grains and herbs.

Therefore, it wasn't long before Gu Yuan had devoured all the spiritual food on the table.

Of course, although Gu Yuan ate quickly, he didn't come across as rude or sloppy at all. On the contrary, he ate with a rhythmic beauty that was pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this, Xu Haoran's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and then he ordered the servants to continue serving the dishes.

After five rounds of this, Gu Yuan finally put down his chopsticks, still somewhat unsatisfied. He then picked up the fruit wine, drank it all in one gulp, and finally let out a long sigh.

Then, he said to Xu Haoran, who was somewhat dumbfounded, "Not bad, not bad, the taste is very good. Thank you for your hospitality today, Brother Xu."
