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

Chapter 207: Lure the snake out of its hole and use your clone to lure the enemy!
Gu Yuan didn't stay on the street for too long. After walking around for a while, he went straight to Yuding Tower.

However, when heading towards Yuding Tower, Gu Yuan glanced back calmly out of the corner of his eye, and then a hint of ambiguous meaning appeared in his mouth.

Time went back half an hour. Not long after Gu Yuan left his residence, a faint shadow came to the outside of Gu Yuan's residence.

The shadow is looming, with a very low sense of presence, and seems to have cultivated some special magical powers.

In just a flash, he passed through the stone wall like an illusory shadow, flew into the yard, and then revealed his figure.

He was a man of ordinary build and appearance, and he was inconspicuous in the crowd.

The man's eyes were glowing white, as if he was using some kind of magical power.

He looked around the yard and the room, and after making sure that there was no one there, he went straight to the rooms and began to look around, obviously looking for something.

He moved swiftly and agilely, checking everywhere including the bedroom, practice room, living room, kitchen, etc.

His movements were careful and cautious, not even leaving any traces.

He didn't even glance at the bottles of pills that Gu Yuan placed on the table, and the several valuable spiritual herbs in the corner of the alchemy room.

After the inspection, the man frowned slightly, seemed a little disappointed, and then turned around and left.

Not long after the others left, ripples appeared in the void in a corner of the yard, and then Gu Yuan's figure appeared.

"really……"

Looking at the direction where the man just left, Gu Yuan showed a sneer on his face.

Lu Kun, the true disciple of the Gu God Cult, had come once before and expressed his interest in his Green Shadow Sword Butterfly. After being rejected and leaving, Gu Yuan guessed that this person would not give up.

Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
As for Gu Yuan who had just left, he was naturally a false clone condensed by his magical power of Mirror Flower and Water Moon.

From the beginning to the end, this was actually done intentionally by Gu Yuan.

The purpose is to lure the snake out of its hole and then eliminate the root of the problem. At the very least, he has to cripple the hand of the guy who is secretly eyeing him, and vent his anger at the same time!
Since someone came to search the yard just now, Gu Yuan knew that this person was definitely searching for the Green Shadow Sword Butterfly!

Perhaps Lu Kun also knew that Gu Yuan would not leave something like the Green Shadow Sword Butterfly at his residence, but would carry it with him, but he had to give it a try.

On the other side, Gu Yuan's clone was also being watched.

However, this is exactly what Gu Yuan wants!
Arriving at Yuding Tower, Gu Yuan went straight to the alchemy room where Situ Yan was, just like before. After staying inside for a while, he came out with a sad face.

He touched the storage bag and seemed a little annoyed.

Then, he walked a few steps to the other side, found the steward in charge, and said:

"Please, senior brother, help me find a suitable task."

Upon hearing this, the steward's eyes flashed with a strange color, and he smiled and said, "Okay, then, Junior Brother, do you have any requirements for the mission?"

"A request..."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It would be best if it's a mission with a generous reward and a short duration. Also, if it's not dangerous, that would be even better."

"..."

The steward's mouth twitched, and he was choked by Gu Yuan's words and was speechless. The way he looked at Gu Yuan changed a little, and he had the urge to complain.

Damn, the rewards are generous, the time is short, and it’s not dangerous. If there was a task like this, I would have done it a long time ago!
How can it be your turn?
He calmed himself down and said unhappily, "Junior Brother Gu, you're overthinking it. There's no such mission."

After a pause, the manager said, "However, there are a few missions with generous rewards and not too long to complete, but they are somewhat dangerous."

As he spoke, the steward looked Gu Yuan up and down and said with a smile, "But with your cultivation strength, completing these tasks shouldn't be too difficult."

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he was obviously interested: "What tasks are they? Please show them to me, Brother."

The manager didn't say anything else, but took out a jade slip and handed it to Gu Yuan.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Gu Yuan thanked him and then probed his spiritual sense into it.

Lines of information about the task flow through my mind.

Mission: [Black Heart Demon] Mission content: Three years ago, two outer disciples of Yuding Tower were killed for no reason outside Qiongming Xianfang. The cause of death was that their hearts were dug out and their blood was sucked dry. There was demonic energy remaining in the wounds, and no one could find it after investigation.

Two months ago, a manager who was transporting spiritual medicine was killed. His body became a mummy, and there was residual demonic energy in the wounds of the body. Later, the murderer was found, and it turned out to be the Black Heart Demon, a wandering demonic cultivator!

This person is a cultivator in the middle to late stage of the Heavenly Man Realm. He is suspected to have practiced the fragments of the "Blood River Sutra" and cultivated the blood corpse supernatural power.

Nowadays, it often appears near Xiaodang Mountain outside Qiongming Xianfang, and needs to be caught or killed.

Mission reward: 2,800 spirit stones and a bottle of Peiyuan Dan.

Task time: no limit.

……

Mission: [Delivering Pills]

Mission content: This building has a batch of elixirs that need to be delivered to the Sun family in Lingquan Mansion.

There are several dangerous places along the way.

Mission reward: two thousand spirit stones.

Mission time: half a month.

……

Mission: [Cuiyan Fruit]

Mission Description: On Niutou Mountain grows a Cuiyan tree, a rare spiritual root that has been sealed and concealed by our sect's master. Every six hundred years, the Cuiyan fruit on it ripens.

Now, the Cuiyan fruit is about to reach maturity and needs to be picked in time.

When the Cuiyan fruit is ripe, it often attracts groups of black-winged vultures.

Mission reward: 1,700 spirit stones.

Mission duration: One month only.

……

These tasks seemed normal, with basically nothing wrong. And just as the manager said, the rewards were generous and the tasks did not take too long.

However, the content of the task made Gu Yuan's heart skip a beat.

My goodness, these are things that can only be done by leaving Qiongming Market.

Isn't this just like lice on a bald head - obvious?

It's obvious that someone wants to lure him out of Qiongming Xianfang!
Recalling the last time he met Aoki Masamune, when the other party intentionally or unintentionally led him to go out on a mission, Gu Yuan felt a little cold in his heart.

This old thief has never given up his desire to destroy me!

On the surface, Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, and then decisively chose the mission [Black Heart Demon].

Afterwards, he turned and left.

Just after Gu Yuan left Yuding Tower, the figure of Qingmu Zhenren appeared where Gu Yuan had just stood.

"Uncle Master!"

The steward saluted quickly.

"how?"

Qing Mu Zhenren's voice was indifferent, and his words were incoherent, but the steward understood what he meant and said respectfully, "Uncle Master, this boy has accepted the mission of [Black Heart Demon]."

"very good."

Aoki Masamune nodded and said nothing more, but in the palm of his hand behind his back, a jade talisman was faintly flickering.
