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

Chapter 522 Martial Uncle!

"I naturally didn't say anything, but that person didn't let me go. He used some demonic methods to torture me, and finally, he exhausted my soul essence and then refined it into a special magic weapon."

"From then on, I lived in a daze, with only the instinct to wield a sword remaining, becoming a magic weapon for honing the swordsmanship of others."

Zhang Kai spoke casually, but the content of his words left Gu Yuan with a bad feeling. As for Xuan Yuan Daoist, his eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, asking, "Senior brother, who is this person?"

"It's that bastard Hun Tian..."

Zhang Kai sighed softly and uttered a name that Gu Yuan found quite familiar.

"Hun Tian? The Old Man of Hun Tian!"

Gu Yuan's heart stirred, and he immediately remembered the name he had heard several times before.

Zheng Changlong, the son of the Old Man of the Chaos, was the one he killed before.

When killing Zheng Changlong, even a wisp of the spirit of the Old Man of Hun Tian appeared. If Gu Yuan had not been so skillful, he would probably have died before he could even begin his mission.

"Hun Tian?!"

Xuan Yuan gritted his teeth, a cold, fierce glint in his eyes: "It was him?!"

Gu Yuan sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you perhaps know this Old Man Hun Tian?!"

Zhang Kai glanced at Gu Yuan a few times, then looked at Xuan Yuan Daoist: "Junior Brother Cheng, are you your disciple?"

Master Xuanyuan nodded: "That's right, this boy's surname is Gu and his given name is Yuan. He is a disciple I took in three years ago."

"three years ago?"

Zhang Kai sized up Gu Yuan, only to find that he couldn't see through the other man at all. He said, "No wonder I couldn't understand this kid. It turns out he already had some skills when he came to learn from him..."

Xuan Yuan Daoist laughed at this moment and said, "Senior brother, you've probably misunderstood. Three years ago, this kid was just an ordinary person. He wasn't someone who already had skills and became a disciple."

Hearing this, Zhang Kai was somewhat incredulous. He looked Gu Yuan up and down carefully before saying, "This kid has cultivated to the Golden Core stage in just three years?! And he's even reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage?"

"Golden Core Perfection? The last time I saw this kid, he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. I never expected... ha..."

Master Xuanyuan was also taken aback, but quickly calmed down and laughed, "To be honest, this kid is incredibly talented, his talent is unparalleled in the world, and he is the only one I have ever seen in my life."

After a pause, he asked Gu Yuan, "By the way, you've been keeping this under wraps. What grade of pill is it?"

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well... I guess I've achieved the first rank of Dan."

"A pill that reaches the first grade is a pill that reaches the first grade, and a pill that reaches the second grade is a pill that reaches the second grade. What does 'recognize' even mean?"

Xuan Yuan reprimanded him.

"My disciple's Golden Core is based on the rudiments of the four Great Divine Abilities, and it is estimated that it has already surpassed the category of a first-grade Golden Core. During the breakthrough, it even attracted a tribulation of lightning."

Gu Yuan naturally didn't hide anything from his master, and recounted the scene when the Golden Core was forged.

"Four great divine abilities in their nascent stages? Breaking through to the Golden Core realm and attracting a tribulation of lightning?!"

Not only Xuan Yuan Daoist, but even Zhang Kai was stunned.

As powerful beings of the Yang God realm, they naturally knew some common knowledge about the Golden Core realm. The Golden Core is divided into nine grades: the lower grade has a bleak future, the middle grade has some achievements, and only the upper grade has the chance to achieve immortality.

Among the three grades, the first grade is the best, with the best being the one that has cultivated the rudimentary form of a great supernatural power, known as the seed of the primordial spirit.

Xuan Yuan Dao Ren and Zhang Kai were both unparalleled geniuses in the East Sea cultivation world, and were also masters of the first grade of alchemy.

However, they had never heard of Gu Yuan's situation before. A cultivator had actually managed to cultivate four rudimentary forms of great divine abilities, and using them as a foundation to forge a golden core, and even attracted a tribulation of lightning.

This is really a bit exaggerated...

But at least one thing is certain: Gu Yuan is indeed as Xuan Yuan Dao Ren said, an extraordinary and brilliant talent!
"Junior Brother Cheng, you've taken on a fine disciple..."

After his initial shock, Zhang Kai exclaimed in admiration, saying with a profound meaning, "Although my Linghu Island has been ravaged, everything in the world, no matter how dangerous or dire the situation, always has a glimmer of hope."

"It seems that you, young Gu, might just be the future hope of our Linghu Island."

Zhang Kai was clearly quite excited.

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Uncle, you flatter me. I only have the talent to cultivate. However... I have dealt with this Old Man Hun Tian once before."

"Oh?"

Xuan Yuan Daoist said, "Tell me about it."

So Gu Yuan then recounted in detail how he had killed Zheng Changlong after agreeing to Su Qiuyue's request, and how he had dealt with the encounter with a wisp of the soul of the Old Man Hun Tian.

After listening, Zhang Kai nodded: "That's right, that's Hun Tian's style."

His expression was indifferent, seemingly without much resentment.

Xuan Yuan Daoist, standing to the side, said, "Hun Tian was once an old friend of my master and also a good friend of your senior uncle. But alas, people's hearts are fickle..."

At this point, he shook his head and said, "Gu Yuan, when you have cultivated your primordial spirit, if you have the opportunity, help your master uncle solve this problem. Of course, right now, your cultivation is still weak, but you are no match for that old man."

"The disciple understands."

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't act recklessly, nor would he actively seek out trouble.

Next, Xuan Yuan Daoist and Zhang Kai told Gu Yuan about some things, some of which were related to Linghu Island itself, and some of which were information about the people who destroyed Linghu Island back then.

This included the Old Man of Hun Tian, ​​which Gu Yuan carefully remembered.

He knew perfectly well that Xuan Yuan Daoist was alright, but as for his senior brother Zhang Kai, his current condition was really too bad, and he obviously couldn't hold on for much longer.

Therefore, the two of them are now consciously explaining things to Gu Yuan as much as possible, so as not to omit anything in the future.

The two of them clearly regarded Gu Yuan as the hope for the rise of Linghu Island.

Not only did he not conceal any of the various secret events, he even recounted his own breakthroughs to Yin Shen and Yang Shen, as well as the secrets he had learned from predecessors within the sect to break through to Yuan Shen True Immortal.

Later, upon learning that Gu Yuan was skilled in swordsmanship, Zhang Kai even passed on all the sword techniques he was proficient in to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly but did not refuse. He naturally knew that the two of them, especially Zhang Kai, were making their final arrangements... because this Uncle Zhang clearly did not have much time left.

……

A few days later, Gu Yuan stared blankly at the bronze bottle in his hand.

To be honest, although he considers himself a disciple of Linghu Island, he doesn't really have much affection for Linghu Island.

After all, he was from the Southern Frontier and had relied mostly on himself to cultivate to where he was today. His relationship with Linghu Island was nothing more than a chance encounter with Xuan Yuan Daoist, which led him to become a disciple of Linghu Island by chance.

However, in the past few days, Uncle Zhang has valued him highly and has not held anything back. He is willing to risk his soul being scattered to pass on everything he knows to Gu Yuan.
