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

Chapter 589 The Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl Appears Again!

The middle-aged man, who had initially been somewhat doubtful and uncertain, immediately became enraged upon hearing these words and sneered, "Spare my life? Heh...you have quite the nerve!"

"A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to boast that he will spare my life."

"Very well, if you won't listen to reason, then you'll have to suffer the consequences. Since you don't appreciate it, then I won't hold back."

He snorted coldly, pointed a finger, and the short spears beside him began to dance, unleashing a hundred sharp beams of light that almost completely enveloped the space where Gu Yuan and Shi Peiqing were located.

These silver lights contained a sharp edge; although they couldn't compare to Gu Yuan's previous great sword skills, they certainly weren't much inferior.

At least, Shi Peiqing's expression changed, and he shifted his body, teleporting away to protect the flying boat, especially the disciples inside. As for Gu Yuan, he wasn't worried at all.

Gu Yuan had previously killed Yin God giants with a single strike. If he couldn't even avoid this kind of attack, it could only mean that the rumors about him were unfounded.

As expected, Gu Yuan remained unmoved, even standing still in place.

Just as those sharp silver lights were about to strike him, Gu Yuan casually waved his hand, wiping them all away.

His nonchalant demeanor and effortless skill left the middle-aged man astonished and filled with disbelief.

However, Gu Yuan took a step forward, and the next moment, he appeared in front of the middle-aged man, raised his hand, and grabbed the short spear.

Then, before the middle-aged man could do anything, he raised his hand and wiped the spear.

Click!

With a strange, crisp sound, it was as if a restriction had been broken. Then, the middle-aged man's face turned red, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He couldn't help but say, "You..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Yuan stepped forward, stood in front of him, grabbed the middle-aged man's neck, and twisted it forcefully.

Click!

With a crisp crack, the light in the middle-aged man's eyes immediately vanished, leaving him lifeless.

In fact, in theory, once one's cultivation reaches the Yin Spirit realm, one's vitality is extremely tenacious. Even if one's physical body is severely damaged, one can completely extricate the Yin Spirit from the body and escape.

Gu Yuan simply snapped his neck; it wasn't a serious injury at all.

In reality, Gu Yuan's methods were certainly not that simple.

He had not only twisted the middle-aged man's neck, but also poured his own sword intent into the man's body. The powerful and terrifying sword intent easily destroyed the man's spirit.

As a result, middle-aged people are naturally left with no choice but to be exploited.

Gu Yuan's actions were simply too fast, his methods too strong, and too direct. The middle-aged man hadn't even fully reacted before Gu Yuan had already finished his attack.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuan enveloped it in a ball of true fire, which quickly ignited.

Before long, he had a storage bag in his hand.

Gu Yuan casually tossed the storage bag to the dazed Shi Peiqing, while he directly put the high-grade magic weapon short spear into his own storage bag.

If it were a mid-grade magic weapon, Gu Yuan might not be tempted. After all, he has quite a few treasures on him, comparable to high-grade magic weapons. If we don't count his complete sword formation, there are also the Taiyi Golden Bell and the Creation Green Lotus.

The power of each of these objects far surpasses that of this short spear.

Even so, the value of a top-grade magic weapon is extremely high. Gu Yuan wasn't giving it away for free; of course, he needed to receive a certain reward.

Shi Peiqing didn't care at all about Gu Yuan's actions, and even felt it was only natural. If Gu Yuan hadn't taken action, he himself would probably have suffered a great loss today. Now, it's all good... the formidable enemy he'd been entangled with for most of his life was actually eliminated by Gu Yuan just like that. This is truly satisfying!

Shi Peiqing was overjoyed and had no objections whatsoever.

Seeing that Gu Yuan had defeated his senior brother in just two moves, he no longer had any doubts about the rumors surrounding Chu He.

Shi Peiqing even had reason to suspect that if a powerful Yang God were to arrive, this fellow Daoist Chu He would likely have some means to rival him.

However, it's just speculation, and nobody knows for sure what really happened.

On the surface, Shi Peiqing cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother Chu."

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, "It's a misfortune for our sect, and I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist."

Gu Yuan didn't take it to heart and said, "It's alright, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Gu Yuan didn't plan to stay any longer; he had other important matters to attend to.

"Wait! Fellow Daoist Chu, please wait."

Seeing this, Shi Peiqing also became a little anxious and quickly called out to Gu Yuan: "Brother Chu, you must have heard what my senior brother said just now."

He sighed, then took out a spirit pearl from his storage bag.

However, this spirit pearl looked quite familiar to Gu Yuan.

It can be about the size of a fist, is jade white, has a smooth and rounded surface, and has a black part in the middle, making it look like a jade eyeball.

"The Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl?"

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He had gone to great lengths and used many methods to obtain the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl from his storage bag, killing two powerful Yin Gods, Xiu Daozhen and Zheng Xingkong, before finally getting his hands on it.

This item... is said to be related to the whale rider of the East Sea in the past, and also to the lineage of the Dao that this great man is suspected to have left behind.

Therefore, the value of such a thing is self-evident.

Unexpectedly, Shi Peiqing had another one.

"So Brother Chu recognizes this. That's right, this is the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl, one of the nineteen spirit pearls left behind by the whale rider of the East Sea in the past."

When Shi Peiqing saw that Gu Yuan knew, he was first surprised, then smiled with relief: "Actually, the reason why my senior brother has been so attached to me all these years is because of this."

"This was left by my master, but he gave a decree before his death that my senior brother was wicked and had a perverse mind, and this item must not fall into his hands."

"Today, I am fortunate to have received Brother Chu's help. As for the information about this item that I possess, my senior brother has probably already passed it on to others. With my strength, it is impossible for me to protect it. So, I will give it to Brother Chu today."

"As the saying goes, treasures of the world belong to the virtuous. Brother Chu is indeed a virtuous person. I only hope that Brother Chu can make the most of this treasure and not waste it."

As he spoke, Shi Peiqing handed the items to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that there was no reluctance in the other person's eyes, but rather a sense of relief, as if they had gotten rid of a big problem, he thought about it and did not refuse, but still reached out and took it into his hands.

"Alright, I'll keep the things for now. If your apprentice ever runs into trouble, he can ask me for help."
