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

Chapter 500: A Request for Help!

"Brother Chu, please speak frankly. As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse."

Xu Haoran readily agreed, realizing that Gu Yuan was no ordinary person. He no longer underestimated Gu Yuan and instead wanted to befriend him.

"Brother Xu, you're too kind."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "This is your territory. I would like to ask Brother Xu to keep an eye out for some things. If any of these things appear, please buy them for me, or just let me know."

"As for the spirit stones or other spiritual materials needed, they will all come from me. In addition, I can pay Brother Xu an extra 30% as a reward."

As he spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it to the other person. Inside the jade slip was a record of the image and a detailed description of the fragment of the spiritual treasure Taiyi Golden Bell that Gu Yuan had previously purchased.

Of course, Gu Yuan didn't elaborate on the origin of this item.

Xu Haoran reached out and took it, probed it with his divine sense, nodded knowingly and chuckled, "Brother Chu, don't worry, this is a small matter, leave it to me."

"As for the reward, forget it. We've hit it off right away, so why be so formal? Besides, you fought Gu Xuanfeng, which helped me vent my anger. If anyone should be thanking someone, it should be me thanking you."

It was just a matter of looking for something. Given Xu Haoran's status, he could easily give an order and many of his subordinates would keep an eye out for it.

So this really isn't a problem for him.

As for the remuneration...

As a true disciple of Luofu Immortal Island who had achieved the first rank of Dan, Xu Haoran was not lacking in spirit stones or spiritual materials. Instead, he was quite curious about Gu Yuan's identity and background.

Of course, since Gu Yuan didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

But at least one thing is certain: Gu Yuan has a very powerful background.

By doing this, one can forge a good relationship with the other party, or gain a favor, which is obviously much more valuable than any reward such as spirit stones or spiritual materials.

As for what Gu Yuan is looking for, it may not be simple, but that has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't need to delve into it.

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you, Brother Xu. If you can find it, I'll consider it a favor I owe you."

Gu Yuan wasn't stupid; he could naturally see what the other party meant, so he simply went along with it and made his point clear.

"Hehe, Brother Chu, you're too kind..."

Xu Haoran smiled broadly, raised his glass, and said, "Please!"

Gu Yuan also picked up his wine glass and drank the fruit wine in one gulp. The two looked at each other and smiled, some things were understood without words.

……

The weather was sunny that day.

Gu Yuan also went out the door and headed towards the Arena of Life and Death.

Today is the day he and Gu Xuanfeng agreed to a life-or-death duel on the arena.

Yu Qiubai followed along, reminding him as they walked: "Brother Chu, you must be careful. I made a special inquiry about Gu Xuanfeng. He seems to have cultivated a powerful divine eye technique that can make people fall into an illusion without them even realizing it."

Yu Qiubai had just finished his seclusion a few days ago. After learning about the conflict between Gu Yuan and Gu Xuanfeng, he took the initiative to help Gu Yuan find out information. He even thought of asking a senior brother to help Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan refused.

In his view, the matter of fighting with Gu Xuanfeng was not a big deal at all; it could be resolved easily, and there was no need to trouble others.

However, he appreciated Yu Qiubai's kindness, as the other party had meant well.

……

There are many life-and-death arenas within Luofu Immortal City, but only five are the largest. The one Gu Xuanfeng chose is located in the city center. It doesn't look big, but in fact, a special spatial array is set up on it. Therefore, although this life-and-death arena appears to be only 600 meters in diameter, the internal space is actually dozens of times larger.

Such an area is certainly not enough for Golden Core cultivators to fight and cause trouble.

Not everyone is like Gu Yuan, able to swiftly and decisively eliminate the enemy in a short period of time.

Under normal circumstances, when two Golden Core cultivators engage in combat, they will typically maintain distance and employ various spells and supernatural abilities for attack and defense.

Whether pursuing or fleeing, it often takes traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to possibly defeat the enemy.

Although the area inside this arena of life and death is still not very large, it is enough to cause a lot of trouble.

At this time, a large number of people had already gathered near the arena of life and death.

These were naturally just onlookers, there to watch the spectacle.

In fact, on ordinary days, there are many people who come to watch the spectacle near the arena of life and death. Some are just there to watch the show, while others come to learn from the fighting experience or broaden their knowledge.

Even Gu Yuan himself had come here a few times before.

Cultivators from all corners of the world gathered here, including both righteous and evil ones, inevitably leading to various frictions and conflicts.

Although the arena of life and death sounds terrifying, in reality, as long as there is no deep-seated hatred that leads to an irreconcilable feud, people can even settle their differences by sparring on the arena of life and death to determine who is superior.

There are rarely any real life-or-death struggles that result in human deaths.

But today is different.

The conflict between Gu Yuan and Yuqiao Immortal Palace is already common knowledge. Their battle is a fight to the death, and it also involves the true disciples of Yuqiao Immortal Palace, so this matter has attracted a lot of attention.

Today, naturally, there are many more people here to watch the excitement.

Noticing the dense crowd of cultivators ahead, Gu Yuan shook his head inwardly, gave Yu Qiubai a few instructions, and then took the lead and walked forward.

Gu Yuan's arrival quickly attracted the attention of some people.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, many people looked surprised, puzzled, and suspicious, their eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry. They wondered what Gu Yuan's background was and how he dared to fight Gu Xuanfeng.
Disciples from the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace also appeared, with more than a dozen people surrounding Gu Xuanfeng and Xue Shenhu. Even Xue Shenhu's third uncle, Xue Wulong, a powerful Yin God, appeared.

These people clearly wouldn't give Gu Yuan a friendly look, and some, like Xue Shenhu, even glared at him angrily.

Gu Yuan didn't care about the gazes of the crowd, and even ignored the unfriendly looks from the group from Yuqiao Immortal Palace. He acted very casually and calmly, showing no sign of tension at all.

However, Gu Yuan noticed that even Xu Haoran had come here.

However, the situation was special, so the two did not speak, but merely exchanged a glance and nodded to each other before Gu Yuan headed towards the arena of life and death.

Having arrived at the arena of life and death, Gu Yuan sat cross-legged and waited quietly.

Not long after, Gu Xuanfeng also arrived at the Life and Death Arena.

As soon as he arrived, he stared at Gu Yuan with a half-smile, as if he were looking at a dead man.

Gu Yuan glanced at him indifferently, not taking him seriously at all.

Soon, streaks of restrictive spiritual light rapidly lit up around them, intertwining and eventually transforming into a semi-circular, bowl-shaped light shield that enveloped the entire life-and-death arena.

Gu Yuan immediately sensed a mysterious spatial power combined with the spiritual light of the restriction filling the surroundings, causing the area of ​​the entire life-and-death arena to expand rapidly.
