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

Chapter 32: Innate Martial Master? (Please give me a monthly ticket and read on!)
Martial artists are all big eaters, and each one has a bigger appetite than the other.

Because of the abundant Qi and blood and strong physique, the body needs more nutrition.

The foundation of martial arts actually lies in the word "eating".

Sheep eat grass, tigers eat meat.

Ordinary people eat grains and meat, but martial artists like them not only eat more, but also need to eat better!
This medicinal food is the common meal for the disciples of those noble families.

For example, the Polygonatum and Pigeon Soup that Gu Yuan had eaten before is one of them. It can nourish the vital energy and strengthen the body.

It is said that some more advanced practitioners feed on spiritual grains and spiritual pills.

And some beings even breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and become immortal!
Gu Yuan saw these in a miscellaneous book.

Yang Jianfei's food, clothing, housing and transportation are obviously much better than those of Gu Yuan and others.

"Damn it, the rest of us are just eating coarse food, but this kid is eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks all day long. What's the merit of this kid?"

Zhou Zhong tore off a piece of bread fiercely and chewed it in his mouth, as if he was biting Yang Jianfei's flesh.

Gu Yuan found it a little funny, but he could also understand why Zhou Zhong was so resentful.

People often worry not about scarcity but about inequality.

As a fellow herbalist, Xia Xiuxue would be fine, after all, her father was the head of Yuding Tower, and she herself was a woman, which put her in many inconveniences. So this time when she went out, someone took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, and her treatment was better, so no one dared to have any complaints.

But Yang Jianfei is different.

He and Gu Yuan and others were all hired herbalists, but he did not have as strong a background as Xia Xiuxue and was merely Yang Han's nephew.

Under such circumstances, Gu Yuan and others were exhausted from walking on their way, but he not only had a horse to ride, but also received much better treatment than Gu Yuan and others. He was arrogant and looked down on Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong and others, and even deliberately targeted Zhou Zhong several times.

How could Zhou Zhong accept this?

Even Gu Yuan had some opinions about this guy, but he just didn't show it.

Gu Yuan munched on a pancake and glanced at Yang Jianfei who was being very attentive to Xia Xiuxue. Then, his gaze shifted and fell on a middle-aged guard with an ordinary appearance not far away. After staying for a moment, he quickly looked away.

In the past few days, he discovered that there was something wrong with one of the dozen or so guards.

To be precise, it was Ah Huang who discovered it by chance.

Animals' perception is much higher than that of humans in some aspects.

From the emotions conveyed by Ah Huang, Gu Yuan discovered that Ah Huang actually had a hint of fear towards this middle-aged guard.

This is very abnormal!

Ah Huang is an iron-toothed rat, a species of rat that feeds on gold and iron. Even Yang Han can only make it feel a little fearful.

Being able to make it feel fear means that this guard feels even more terrifying to Ah Huang than Yang Han!
You know, Yang Han has already mastered bone refining and is a top martial artist. He is also one of the top masters in Beiliang County.

Even more terrifying than a peak martial artist, what does this mean?

Innate martial artist?

Or is there any other reason?
Gu Yuan also suspected that this person might have another identity and was not necessarily arranged by Yuding Tower, but in his observation, he saw this mysterious guard having eye contact with Yang Han several times, so he rejected this speculation.

With this discovery, Gu Yuan was quite glad that he had the foresight to bring Ah Huang and Ah Wu out this time.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he would be a little lacking in confidence if he really encountered danger.

Of course, Gu Yuan was not stupid enough to reveal this discovery. He pretended to be ignorant and did what he had to do.

"Since there's such a dangerous person hidden in the convoy, does this mean that Yang Han and even Yuding Tower are on guard against some unknown danger?!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt somewhat uneasy.

His eyes flickered. "Looks like when we get to Qingliu Town tomorrow, we'll have to figure out how to tame a snake."

Zhou Zhong mentioned just now that there are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts near Qingliu Town.

Gu Yuan secretly took this to heart, planning to see if he could find a snake that suited his needs as a pet in Qingliu Town. Since this mission was incredibly dangerous, if he could tame a snake and gain its innate abilities, perhaps he could even increase his strength even further.

Putting aside other things, at least if there was a snake for Gu Yuan to observe, it would definitely be of great benefit to his practice of "Golden Snake Swallowing Yuan Gong" and "Spirit Snake Sword Technique".

If we can find a snake whose talents are quite compatible with these two martial arts, there will obviously be more benefits!

After eating and drinking, Gu Yuan found a place in the temporary straw hut, hugged his sword and package, and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Yuan slept soundly and peacefully.

Because at this time, Ah Huang came to him in the dark night and hid in his package.

Any movement will remind him in time.

Silent all night.

By the afternoon of the next day, the caravan finally arrived at Qingliu Town.

Then, under the leadership of the team leader, they stopped at the backyard of an inn. Everyone was exhausted after the long journey.

Even Xia Xiuxue was the same. No matter how good the carriage was, it was not as peaceful as sleeping in an inn.

Everyone rested for a while, and it was soon night.

"The caravan will depart at 9:00 AM the day after tomorrow, so you can leave the caravan now and do your own things."

After dinner, Yang Han waved his hand, signaling that Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong and the others could move freely:
"But you must come back before the morning of the day after tomorrow, understand?"

"Don't worry, sir. We understand!"

Gu Yuan and the others naturally responded in agreement.

After returning to the room arranged by the inn, Gu Yuan had some guesses in his mind:

"Yang Han deliberately sent me, Zhou Zhong, and Guo Jin away. He must be going out to do something that he doesn't want us to see."

"Yang Jianfei and Xia Xiuxue seem to know something."

Early in the morning, just after breakfast, Gu Yuan was about to go out when Zhou Zhong ran over excitedly, his face beaming with joy:

"Brother Gu, I know a great place in this town. I guarantee you'll want to go there again after your first visit. You're young and you've definitely never been there. Come on, I'll take you there to broaden your horizons!"

He winked at Gu Yuan, and his usually rough and somewhat plain old face now revealed a bit of vulgarity and greasyness.

"."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand to refuse:

"Forget it, I have something to do, you should go by yourself."

"You're not going? Well, I guarantee you'll regret it."

Zhou Zhong shook his head slightly, then froze for a moment before realizing something was wrong: "Wait, do you know what I mean?"

Are you kidding? Back then, I also had a Cadillac and visited every foot massage parlor and even every club in the city. How could I not know what you mean? Gu Yuan was disdainful in his heart, but pretended to be confused on the surface and said, "Aren't you going to buy me a drink?"

"Tsk! Drinking is bullshit. What I'm talking about is worse than drinking."

At this time, Xia Xiuxue passed by not far away. She had a graceful figure and wherever she passed, a faint fragrance filled the air.

Zhou Zhong's voice suddenly stopped, and he said calmly, "Okay, I admit it. I was planning to treat you to a drink, but since you don't have time, forget it."

"That's okay, maybe next time."

Gu Yuan patted his shoulder and said, "Remember, Lao Zhou, you owe me a drink."

He ignored Zhou Zhong who was standing there in a daze and walked straight out of the inn.
