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

Chapter 524 A Gift for Meeting You!
"It's nothing. I just have a few more talents. Besides the innate sword bone, I also have the sword heart talent, and a few other talents."

Gu Yuan didn't go into details, but spoke very generally. However, the information revealed in just that one sentence was enough to shock people.

Aside from innate sword bones, there's also the talent of sword heart, and a few other talents... that's all?

Just pay it back?

Upon hearing this, even Yan Chunyang, who was usually calm and composed, showed some changes in his expression.

As for his disciple Qi Yingyang, he was even more dumbfounded, holding the teapot and somewhat dazed.

Regardless of talent, whether it is ordinary talent, spiritual talent, or even the superior Daoist talent, most people generally lack cultivation talent.

Among the remaining very few people, each person basically only has one talent. As for people like Qi Yingyang who have two talents, they are extremely rare.

Perhaps there are only a handful in the entire cultivation world of the East Sea.

But what did Gu Yuan just say? In addition to his innate sword bone talent, he also has a sword heart talent, and several other talents as well. This is simply absurd.

However, the master and apprentice knew that Gu Yuan would not deceive them on such matters, because it was pointless.

Moreover, Qi Yingyang is one thing, but Yan Chunyang personally witnessed Gu Yuan kill the Yin God giant, Kuquan Jushi, with his Golden Core body.

To be able to do something so unprecedented, Gu Yuan's talent must be quite complex.

"This is my first visit, so it was a bit abrupt. I didn't prepare anything."

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and took out a palm-sized short sword from his storage bag.

This short sword looks quite exquisite. The hilt is black, the blade is snow-white, smooth and bright, and the edge exudes a chilling aura. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a fine sword.

In fact it is.

Over the past few years, Gu Yuan has killed many enemies, including some formidable figures, such as the Hermit of Bitter Spring.

This short sword was actually a storage bag that he had previously obtained from the hermit of the Bitter Spring.

Originally, this sword was of good quality, but it had been imbued with demonic powers. As a sword cultivator, Gu Yuan naturally disliked it, so he took matters into his own hands and re-imbued it, washing away all the restrictions, powers, and demonic energy, leaving only its solid and resilient essence.

Therefore, while this short sword may not be as powerful as the original demonic sword in terms of other transformations and supernatural abilities, its power has been significantly enhanced, and it is much more formidable than before.

Its quality has made it a top-grade magic artifact, the kind with seventy-two layers of restrictions, just a hair's breadth away from being a magic treasure.

Furthermore, it contains a terrifying sword intent that seems capable of cutting through all constraints!
"Let me give this sword to my nephew as a gift."

With that, Gu Yuan tossed the small sword to Qi Yingyang.

"Master, this..."

Qi Yingyang first looked at his master, Yan Chunyang, clearly wanting to see what his master wanted him to do.

"Since your uncle has given it to you, then you should accept it."

Yan Chunyang waved his hand, indicating that Qi Yingyang should accept it. Qi Yingyang then put it away and respectfully bowed to Gu Yuan to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Uncle-Master!"

Gu Yuan waved his hand to indicate that it was alright.

Yan Chunyang, standing to the side, laughed and said, "Thank you, Brother Chu. This flying sword is indeed of quite good quality. However, the most precious thing is the sword intent within it. The subtlety and prowess of this sword intent are even slightly superior to mine."

"If my unworthy disciple could grasp even a fraction of its essence, his swordsmanship would likely improve greatly."

He was also a master of swordsmanship, so he naturally saw through some clues at a glance. The flying sword itself was fine; although it was of good quality and had the potential to become a magic weapon, Yan Chunyang, a previous generation sword master of the Rift Heaven Sword Sect, certainly wouldn't lack such things.

It should be noted that when he traded with Gu Yuan at the auction, he even took out a high-grade magic weapon flying sword, the key being the sword intent that Gu Yuan left inside that sword.

Although this sword intent is sharp and intimidating, and even somewhat dangerous, it also brings immense benefits.

If his disciple Qi Yingyang can grasp even a fraction of it, he will benefit from it for life.

In Yan Chunyang's eyes, such a thing was more precious and important than any magic weapon.

After hearing his master's words, Qi Yingyang immediately realized that he had gotten a great deal, and quickly thanked Gu Yuan again.

"Okay, no need to be polite."

Gu Yuan smiled and stopped the other person, then said, "Xiao Qi, I've heard that the tea and fruit around here tastes pretty good. I wonder if you could get me some to try?"

Yan Chunyang remained silent.

Qi Yingyang was no fool; he understood that Gu Yuan had something to say to his master and was making an excuse to send him away.

However, he had no objection to this, simply acknowledged it, and left the courtyard.

At this moment, Gu Yuan's smile faded, and he cupped his hands in greeting: "I apologize for disturbing you today. Actually, there is something I would like to ask Brother Yan for advice on, and I hope you will tell me the truth."

Yan Chunyang nodded calmly and answered decisively: "As long as it doesn't concern the secrets of my sect, I will definitely not hide it."

Gu Yuan had already subtly mentioned his upcoming visit in a communication talisman, so he naturally knew that Gu Yuan had something important to discuss.

"Thank you."

Gu Yuan thanked him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask Brother Yan about something. Where did you obtain this item?"

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out a bronze bottle, about the size of a palm, with a large belly and a narrow neck, covered with patterns and some green patina.

This bronze bottle was naturally the one that Yan Chunyang gave to Gu Yuan at the last auction.

The difference is that nowadays, Zhang Kai's soul inside has disappeared, and the value of this item has also vanished.

Gu Yuan wanted to find out the origin of the bronze bottle because he was curious about how Yan Chunyang obtained it.

Furthermore, he also planned to avenge his senior martial brother, Zhang Kai.

Compared to Yaowang Mountain, Gu Yuan actually felt a bit closer to Linghu Island.

The reason is that, apart from his master, Master Heling, there are only a very few other people on Medicine King Mountain. Everyone else is quite hostile towards him, making it impossible for him to feel any sense of closeness.

Furthermore, although he has become a true disciple of Medicine King Mountain, Gu Yuan has relied mostly on himself to reach his current level of cultivation.

He did not enjoy many of the benefits of being a disciple of Yaowang Mountain.

Linghu Island is a bit different.

Although he had only met Xuan Yuan Daoist three times, he had been of great help to him, always giving him his best guidance.

Perhaps it was because they were counting on him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Linghu Island, but they never harbored any ill will towards Gu Yuan.

Zhang Kai was the same.
