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

Chapter 510 Challenging the Yin God Giant!

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, the entire Chaotianque Auction House fell into a deathly silence.

Many people were dumbfounded, stunned on the spot, and even began to doubt their own ears.

If they heard correctly, Gu Yuan was issuing a challenge to the Hermit of Bitter Spring.

Moreover, it was a life-or-death duel on a magic arena.

The problem is, how could a Golden Core cultivator like you have the audacity to challenge a notorious demonic Yin God to a life-or-death duel?

Don't you know just how big the difference is between two great realms?
At this moment, the cultivators reacted in different ways. Some were shocked, some mocked and disdainful, and others admired Gu Yuan's courage.

As for the hermit of the Bitter Spring, he was initially furious, feeling that Gu Yuan was insulting him, but he quickly calmed down: "Fine, you have guts, kid. Since you want to die, how can I not grant your wish?"

"After the auction, let's have a life-or-death duel on the arena!"

A moment later, Gu Yuan's voice came from the room where he was: "Okay."

After saying that, neither of them spoke again.

However, the entire auction house became noisy, and many people began to whisper among themselves.

There's no way around it, this trip was absolutely worth it!
Even if you don't get anything suitable at the auction, being able to watch a good show after the auction is definitely not a wasted trip.

Who doesn't enjoy watching the drama unfold?
Especially Gu Yuan and the Bitter Spring Hermit, one is a Golden Core cultivator and the other is a Yin God giant. The two of them challenged each other to a life-or-death duel on the Life and Death Arena, and it was the kind of duel that would end in a fight to the death. This is too exciting!
Even at this moment, many important figures were quite surprised. Where did Gu Yuan, a mere Golden Core cultivator, get such audacity and confidence to fight against a seasoned Yin God giant like Master Kuquan on the Life and Death Arena?!
However, the matter has been finalized, but since it is still auction time, Master Shutong has begun to preside over the proceedings.

"Is there anyone else who wants to make a bid?"

Inside the auction house, all was silent; for a moment, no one placed a bid.

Instead, quite a few people looked towards the room where Gu Yuan was, clearly quite curious about him.

But soon, another voice rang out:
"I'll offer 1.5 million spirit stones."

Inside the room, Gu Yuan looked at the room from which the voice came with some surprise, because the owner of the voice was clearly Xue Wulong, the Yin God giant of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace!
After a moment of surprise, Gu Yuan understood and regained his composure:
"As expected, the people of Jade Bridge Immortal Palace are indeed very interested in this item..."

When they encountered that fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell at a street stall last time, the people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace considered trying to snatch it from Gu Yuan.

And it happened again this time.

In this case, it can only mean that at least one person inside the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace is very interested in the fragments of the Taiyi Golden Bell, and may even possess other fragments themselves.

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense.

However, Gu Yuan was determined to get this item, so he continued to bid: "1.3 million spirit stones and 500 White Yang Pills."

On the other side, Xue Wulong's room remained silent for a while, but ultimately did not continue bidding.

He could tell that Gu Yuan clearly didn't lack spirit stones, and that he would continue to bid even if the price was raised further.

Therefore, there's no need for me to continue bidding.

As an elder of the Jade Bridge Immortal Palace, he had a specific goal and mission in attending this auction.

While this fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell is important, the other items are even more important.

Xue Wulong remained silent, and no one else made a bid. Therefore, the fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell naturally fell into Gu Yuan's hands.

The next items up for auction were also quite valuable, but Gu Yuan wasn't very interested and paid little attention to them. Soon after, someone arrived with the fragment of the spiritual treasure.

Moreover, the person who delivered the gifts was an acquaintance of Gu Yuan—Xu Haoran.

"Brother Chu, here is what you wanted."

At this moment, Gu Yuan's friend, whom he had only recently met, came in, exchanged a few jokes with Gu Yuan, and then took out the spirit treasure fragment.

Gu Yuan took them and also took out spirit stones and Baiyang pills from his storage bag, handing them to Xu Haoran.

Having confirmed the quantity was correct, Xu Haoran put the items away, but his expression was clearly somewhat complicated.

He had naturally seen what Gu Yuan had just done.

However, he never expected that Gu Yuan would go to such lengths.

To directly attack Master Kuquan in front of so many people, and not only that, to actively challenge him to a duel on the life-or-death stage—that's just too audacious…

“Brother Chu, that Hermit of the Bitter Spring is an old demon who has been famous for many years. He also has dozens of troublesome demonic supernatural powers. He is insidious and ruthless. I think you should be more careful if you really want to fight him.”

Xu Haoran said with a serious expression, "If you want to back out now, it's not too late. One of my senior disciples is in this auction house. I can ask him to help you resolve this matter. Afterwards, if there's an opportunity, Brother Chu, you can deal with this old devil then."

Gu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Xu, but I have my own plans for this matter."

Seeing that Xu Haoran was still frowning and silent, Gu Yuan simply revealed a little: "Brother Xu, don't worry, this old dog is indeed a Yin God giant, but I'm not one to be trifled with either."

"At least, I never do anything I'm not sure about."

When Gu Yuan said this, his expression was calm, but he exuded an unwavering and unquestionable conviction.

Xu Haoran paused for a moment, then nodded, seemingly understanding something.

"Very well, since Brother Chu has his own plans, that's good."

Considering Gu Yuan's effortless killing of Gu Xuanfeng on the life-and-death arena, and the sword strike just now, Gu Yuan's strength is clearly far superior to that of a Golden Core cultivator of the same level.

Perhaps Gu Yuan already possesses the strength to fight against the Yin God giants, and he also intends to use the Bitter Spring Hermit to establish his authority.

After delivering the items, Xu Haoran did not stay long and left quickly.

Gu Yuan then took out the fragment of the Taiyi Golden Bell, examined it, and then put it away with satisfaction.

The item is correct, but now is not the right time to devour and refine it.

Let's wait until after this auction is over before making a decision.

The auction was still ongoing at this time.

A maidservant carried a tray up to the high platform, and Master Shutong smiled and said, "Everyone, this is a first-generation branch of the Xuanqing Ancestral Bamboo, a plant with innate spiritual roots, named the Seven Skills Pure Bamboo."

"Some fellow Daoists should know that the Xuanqing Ancestral Bamboo is the treasure of the Laozi Temple, the ancestral temple of the Xuanmen. Its grade is extremely high, ranking among the top three spiritual roots in the entire world."

"Although this Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo is only a branch of its offspring, it can still be considered a primordial spiritual root, because it retains some characteristics of the Xuanqing Ancestral Bamboo, as well as a certain vitality."
