Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 389 - 388: Promotion Task!

Therefore, upon hearing Gu Yuan addressing him as junior brother, he was not at all offended.

Because Gu Yuan had the qualification!

"So it’s Senior Brother Gu."

The Daoist child quickly responded, saying, "Please wait a moment, Senior Brother, I will report immediately."

Gu Yuan smiled and nodded without saying anything further.

Shortly after, the Daoist child came out and let Gu Yuan in.

Gu Yuan nodded to him and said a word of gratitude, then leisurely walked in.

Compared to the cave mansion of Ancestor Danxia, the cave mansion of Daoist Yusheng, the Sect Leader, was absolutely no less impressive, even more magnificent, exuding a sense of solemnity and majesty.

But that was no surprise.

The position of Sect Leader can actually be said to be the real holder of power in the sect, truly wielding great authority.

As for Divine Lord Zhueque and Ancestor Danxia, these two figures were indeed the highest in position and seniority in Medicine King Mountain, but the two Supreme Elders were not convenient to meddle in some affairs of Medicine King Mountain.

So on the surface, Daoist Yusheng as Sect Leader took precedence.

At this moment, Daoist Yusheng was sitting cross-legged.

His eyes were slightly closed, yet he commanded respect naturally.

"Disciple Gu Yuan, pays respect to the Sect Leader."

Gu Yuan did not look around more, and respectfully bowed.

Daoist Yusheng opened his eyes: "Hmm, speak, what brings you to me?"

He was quite aware that there must be a reason for Gu Yuan to seek him out.

"Disciple earnestly requests the Sect Leader to permit me to become a True Disciple."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out the token given by Ancestor Danxia yesterday and presented it with both hands.

"Oh?"

Daoist Yusheng squinted slightly, seemingly surprised, yet not really unexpected.

In Medicine King Mountain, apart from matters related to the two Ancestors, there was basically nothing that could be concealed from him.

For example, yesterday, when Gu Yuan twice visited Zhurong Peak to see Ancestor Danxia, this matter Daoist Yusheng knew about.

As to what exactly Gu Yuan talked about with Ancestor Danxia, he was not clear, but he could more or less guess some things.

So, he actually had already anticipated Gu Yuan’s intentions.

Daoist Yusheng still held Gu Yuan in quite some regard.

Whether from Gu Yuan’s various performances or his qualifications and talent, Gu Yuan was an outstanding disciple.

For any Great Immortal Sect, including those cultivation sacred lands with ancient traditions, a seedling like Gu Yuan was treasured.

As Sect Leader, Daoist Yusheng naturally valued Gu Yuan highly.

Although Gu Yuan was a disciple of the sect’s lineage and Daoist Yusheng came from a family faction, Daoist Yusheng did not care about these things, because, as Sect Leader, his mindset and vision would not be confined to such minor matters.

For Daoist Yusheng, what mattered was how to make Medicine King Mountain stronger.

So whether Gu Yuan was from the family faction or the sect’s lineage made no difference; he would not show partiality, nor would he deliberately target Gu Yuan.

Instead, he would only make the most correct and fair decisions according to the sect’s rules.

Daoist Yusheng made a gesture with his hand, and the jade token in Gu Yuan’s hand fell into his palm.

After a brief inspection, he knew it was true.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Master Danxia has already spoken, you just need to choose a promotion task."

"If you can complete this task, then you can directly become a True Disciple. Of course, the quota for your becoming a True Disciple occupies Master Danxia’s quota."

Saying this, Daoist Yusheng glanced at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan naturally understood the meaning behind the Sect Leader’s words.

The quota for True Disciples was limited.

Currently, there was only one True Disciple quota left for the sect’s lineage.

If Gu Yuan took this quota, then other inner sect disciples in the sect’s lineage might cause some trouble, which means indirectly offending many people.

However, Gu Yuan had long anticipated this and didn’t think it would be a major issue.

The number of True Disciple quotas was limited, yet those who wanted to become True Disciples far exceeded twelve.

Now, there were already nine True Disciples, with only three quotas left.

So, once someone took that slot, the hopes for those inner sect disciples aspiring to become True Disciples would diminish.

Regarding this, Gu Yuan was ready to handle it.

Ultimately, he relied on his own abilities for such matters; if it were according to rules properly, that’s fine, but if someone attempts some crooked means, Gu Yuan definitely would not be merciful.

"Our sect has many tasks, but suitable tasks for someone promoting to True Disciple are few."

Daoist Yusheng pondered a bit, then simply took out a jade scroll and threw it to Gu Yuan.

"Choose one from these three tasks."

Three tasks?

Gu Yuan was stirred, and after receiving the jade scroll, he carefully examined it.

Indeed, the jade scroll recorded three tasks.

However, these three tasks left Gu Yuan somewhat speechless.

The first task was straightforward, which was to kill someone.

Although the task was simple, it was quite difficult because of this person’s identity, having been an Elder of Medicine King Mountain, but later betrayed the sect for some reason.

About this matter, the task content did not have much detail, only briefly describing other circumstances of this Elder.

This Elder was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, unable to shatter his core to achieve the Yin Spirit Dao Fruit due to his talent and aptitude?

Therefore, his lifespan was nearly exhausted, and he was about to pass away.

If allowed to continue under normal circumstances, then after this Elder passed away, his Elder position would be reclaimed, and he would die peacefully concluding an 800-year life.

However, this person seemed unwilling to die just like that; afterward, he actually killed another Elder, along with some disciples, and stole all the Spirit Pills from a Pill Room in the sect.

Later, this Elder defected from the sect, and a few years after, he seemed to have rejuvenated, appearing younger, but had dense demonic qi on him, clearly indicating he had joined the Demon Dao.

This meant he must have resorted to some evil or crooked means, allowing him to extend his lifespan.

However, this matter took place over a hundred years ago.

But it was certain that this defected Elder was still alive...

Killing a Golden Core Great Cultivator wasn’t easy for Gu Yuan, but it wasn’t too hard either.

Only, no one knew about this person’s whereabouts or information.

So, besides having to kill this defected Elder, Gu Yuan’s first task would be to find this person.

However, this was obviously not easy.

If a Golden Core Great Cultivator, even one at the Golden Core Great Perfection Realm, sincerely wanted to hide, not to mention same-level Great Cultivators, even Yin Spirit Giants might not be able to find them.

Therefore, Gu Yuan slightly learned about this task and directly dismissed it in his heart.
