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

Chapter 72: Evil Ghost! (Please vote and read on!)

"Nothing to regret."

Of course Gu Yuan understood why Old Man Chen felt sorry. It was nothing more than that Old Man Chen felt that he had become a useless person, and Yaowang Mountain had many requirements for accepting disciples.

For example, the age limit is between ten and sixteen years old, which is the best stage for practice.

For example, one needs to have not yet engaged in spiritual practice, and needs to be an unpolished jade, so as to ensure that the foundation is pure.

For example, the number of places available is limited, and they are always fought over by all parties, so it is difficult for Gu Yuan to get his turn.

For example, the mountain gate is only opened every five years to recruit disciples. They just accepted all the students last year, and the next recruitment will be four years later. By then, Gu Yuan will be in his twenties.

He was unable to join Yaowang Mountain, and in Old Man Chen's opinion, it was obviously a waste of such good talent.

But Gu Yuan didn't care and said with a smile:

"Having this kind of potential makes me luckier than many people. Besides, even if I can't become a disciple of Yaowang Mountain, I may still be able to obtain the appropriate method to enter the Dao in the future."

Being able to join Yaowang Mountain is certainly a good thing for Gu Yuan.

But Gu Yuan knew very well that his basis was not his iron bones and flexible tendons, or his turtle breathing talent, but his spirit pet system!

To have such a heaven-defying thing as the Spirit Pet System, he is already luckier than ninety-nine percent of the people in the world.

In comparison, even if one cannot be admitted to Yaowang Mountain, what does it matter?
After all, what he lacked was only the subsequent true method of cultivation and some corresponding inherited knowledge. Even if he could not join Yaowang Mountain, he would have the opportunity to obtain it from other channels in the future.

Old man Chen has a lot of experience. What kind of people hasn’t he seen?
When he was in front of some people, he could see their character and nature in just two sentences.

He thought Gu Yuan was saying one thing and thinking another, but he stared at Gu Yuan quietly and found that he was not pretending to be open-minded, but was speaking from the heart. He really didn't care, which made him a little surprised.

If it were someone else, knowing that they had missed such a great opportunity, they would probably beat their chests and stamp their feet, and even vomit blood in frustration.

Putting aside other things, at least this kid has surpassed most of his peers by having this kind of mentality.

With this kid's temperament and talent, even if he can't join Yaowang Mountain in the future, he will definitely have a bright future!

Old Man Chen was quite moved, but he also admired Gu Yuan even more, and said directly:
"Alright, you kid, you never come to me for no reason. What is it that you come to see me for today? Tell me!"

He still spoke rudely, but his tone and attitude had softened a bit. He was no longer as cold and unapproachable as before, but rather a little more casual.

"Hmm? This old man's attitude is a little different from last time... But he's right, cultivators respect strength, and strength determines status. Although my strength is a little lacking, I have great potential, which is also an asset, so Old Man Chen will naturally look up to me."

Gu Yuan also noticed the change in Old Man Chen's attitude, so he calmly told him what happened last night.

"Mr. Chen, this is what happened. I encountered a strange thing last night. At that time..."

Regarding what happened last night, Gu Yuan concealed the specific details and simply said that he was attacked and described the situation of the ghost in detail.

However, the more he spoke, the gloomier Gu Yuan found that Old Man Chen's expression became.

When he finished speaking, Old Man Chen's face was as gloomy as water. He was silent for a moment before saying:
"It can possess a living person or a corpse and run swiftly. Its body is invulnerable to swords and spears. It likes to feed on essence and blood, especially the essence and blood of martial artists with strong Qi and blood. This is definitely a demon..."

"Evil ghost?"

Gu Yuan was puzzled and waited for Old Man Chen's explanation.

Old man Chen explained patiently:
"Sha Gui are special ghosts that have been trained through the ritual of Yin Sha Qi. They are not afraid of sunlight and cannot be restrained by ordinary things like peach wood and black dog blood. They are fearless and can possess and kill people."

"Although the method of sacrificing evil spirits is widely spread, ordinary evil spirits can be dealt with by innate martial artists. However, that old monster Xuanyou took a different approach. He used materials such as the heart of a thousand-year-old locust tree and the sac of a ghost-faced spider to sacrifice a soul-killing banner. He then sacrificed hundreds of evil spirits into it, eventually refining it into an extremely powerful magical weapon."

"Hundreds of evil spirits?!"

Gu Yuan was astonished. Thinking of the hundreds of evil spirits he encountered last night rushing towards him, he shuddered.

With this kind of formation, let alone him, even if a few innate martial artists came, they would be torn to pieces, right?

The cultivators in the Heavenly Man Realm are indeed extremely powerful and terrifying!
"According to my guess, that old fellow Xuanyou must have released the evil spirits from the Soul-Destroying Banner, just like herding sheep, letting them find blood and food on their own. The more blood and essence they absorb, the more powerful this magic weapon will naturally become!"

Old Man Chen sneered and analyzed it, and came to the conclusion:
"As for Xuanyou himself, he should be hiding somewhere in Beiliang City. He hasn't shown up yet, but he's definitely keeping an eye on everything. In short, you better be careful."

At this point, Old Man Chen thought for a moment and took out a white jade talisman.
"This is a communication talisman. If you crush it, I will know your location and arrive in time. If you encounter the old monster Xuanyou, use this item to notify me when the time is right."

Good talent is really popular. Last time, the old man didn't even mention the communication talisman... Taking the jade talisman, Gu Yuan put it away carefully and nodded heavily: "Definitely!"

This is not a communication talisman, it is clearly a treasure to summon Old Man Chen. Once you meet the old monster Xuanyou, if you use this thing well, it may even save your life.

His trip today was indeed not in vain!

……

After finishing the business, Gu Yuan did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with Old Man Chen for a while.

The main purpose was to inquire about the news and information about the old monster Xuanyou, such as what magic skills he was good at, his appearance, etc.

By the way, I also shamelessly asked some questions about spiritual practice.

It was not until Old Man Chen became a little impatient with Gu Yuan's harassment and slapped him to the ground and told him to get out that Gu Yuan left without changing his expression.

However, when he walked up the stairs to the first floor, he encountered something.

"Xiuxue, listen to me. I don't know that woman just now. I..."

"Brother Yang, I've said this many times. What you do has nothing to do with me. I just ask that you please don't bring shame upon our Yuding Tower. Also, you can call me Third Miss, or Miss Xia, but the name Xiuxue is only for those closest to me... Please respect yourself!"

"Xiuxue, you must be angry, right? I swear, this will never happen again!"

"Yang Jianfei, how many times do you want me to tell you this? I have no business interfering in your affairs, and I don't want to. I'm not interested in hearing your explanations!"

At the stairs on the first floor, Gu Yuan met two acquaintances.

There were two people, one in front and one behind, one female and one male.

The girl had a beautiful face, with willow-shaped eyebrows, cherry lips, and fair and delicate skin.

There was also an exquisite scimitar hanging around his waist.

This is naturally the third young lady, Xia Xiuxue.

As for the man, he was dressed in brocade, holding an exquisite and gorgeous long sword in his hand, and wearing a warm jade pendant. It was Yang Jianfei.

However, this Young Master Yang was following behind Xia Xiuxue at this time, his face looked a little anxious and panicked, as if he wanted to say something.

But when his eyes met Gu Yuan who was coming down the stairs, his voice stopped abruptly.

Gu Yuan, who had eaten a big meal, showed an awkward but polite smile.

He glanced at Yang Jianfei and clasped his fists towards the somewhat embarrassed Xia Xiuxue.

"I've met the third lady."

　Big guys, please give me monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and follow me...
