Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 397 - 396: Traces and Clues

Cang Yingnan, standing beside, maintained his expression and nodded in agreement, "Very well, since Yunfei has spoken, tomorrow you shall accompany our young friend Gu."

He glanced at Cang Yuncheng again, pondered for a moment, and said, "Hmm, and Yuncheng, you will also accompany young friend Gu tomorrow. If you encounter any problems, you must follow young friend Gu’s instructions, understood?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Yuncheng responded quickly, "Rest assured, Patriarch, I will definitely follow Brother Gu’s instructions!"

"In that case, I look forward to your guidance tomorrow, Brother Yuncheng."

Gu Yuan had no objections to this and replied with a smile.

Cang Yuncheng repeatedly shook his head, "No trouble at all, it’s my duty."

Gu Yuan smiled in return while glancing at Cang Yuejiao, who had remained silent. Compared to Cang Yunfei and Cang Yuncheng, he was actually more interested in this young girl.

Of course, it was not because of her exquisite beauty, but because this girl’s aptitude and talent were quite good. Not only was she around his age, but her swordsmanship was also impressive.

Even though Cang Yuejiao hid it well, Gu Yuan could still see that a pure and refined Sword Intent was hidden within her.

This girl was likewise a Sword Cultivator, and she had surely already mastered a Sword Dao Divine Technique, likely one of a Top-Grade Divine Techniques level.

This naturally made Gu Yuan regard her with higher esteem.

If not for the Spirit Pet System helping him to transform multiple times, Gu Yuan’s own Talent would paled in comparison to Cang Yuejiao.

Furthermore, compared to other Divine Techniques, Gu Yuan had a particular fondness for swordsmanship, so, for this girl who seemingly possessed a unique Sword Dao Talent, Gu Yuan found her quite agreeable.

To have mastered such swordsmanship at her age, this girl’s Sword Dao Talent was indeed quite formidable!

Her talent likely wasn’t inferior to his Sword Heart Talent.

...

The next day, morning.

Gu Yuan looked at the three people before him with a peculiar expression, "Are all three of you going with me to the mining area today?"

Before Gu Yuan stood Cang Yuncheng, Cang Yunfei, and Cang Yuejiao.

"Pardon my candor, but I remind you all, this trip to the mining area could be quite dangerous. Is it really appropriate for you to accompany me?"

Gu Yuan advised, hoping to deter them. It was fine for Cang Yunfei and Cang Yuncheng, who had already agreed to go last night, but Gu Yuan was particularly looking at Cang Yuejiao.

"Rest assured, Senior Brother Gu, I have already reported this to the Patriarch. Even if there are unexpected incidents, I am confident I can handle them. Also, the injured Cultivator was an uncle of mine who has treated me well; I need to get to the bottom of this matter."

Cang Yuejiao spoke softly, her voice calm and unhurried.

Seeing she had spoken to this extent, Gu Yuan nodded and ceased persuading, "All right, in that case, let’s set off."

Then, he waved his hand, releasing a dark red streak of light.

This streak had the shape of a shuttle, clearly a dark red Spirit Shuttle, and its surface was covered in dense red scales.

With the infusion of Gu Yuan’s True Qi, the Spirit Shuttle rapidly expanded, twisted, and transformed quickly into a massive red carp over ten feet long, exuding a tremendous sense of pressure.

Its undulating movements in the air evoked a sense of wondrous agility.

"Come aboard, all of you."

Gu Yuan called out and flew into the belly of the red carp.

As for Cang Yunfei, Cang Yuejiao, and Cang Yuncheng, they were visibly taken aback. Coming from millennia-old families, they were, of course, not inexperienced.

The three had already recognized that this was undoubtedly a Magical Treasure.

A Magical Treasure!

Not just a Magical Artifact!

The difference between the two is not trivial!

If a Magical Artifact, while valuable, was nothing too special for the three of them.

However, an Upper Grade Magical Artifact was something to be taken seriously.

As for a Top-grade Magical Artifact, the entire Cang Family only had a few, carefully guarded by the Patriarch and a few elder family members, never brought out lightly.

As for Magical Treasures, it goes without saying.

The Cang Family certainly possessed Magical Treasures, more than one in fact, but that didn’t mean they could be used casually.

At the very least, the three had never seen the Cang Family’s Magical Treasures, as only the elders and the Patriarch could access them.

Yet now, Gu Yuan casually took out a Magical Treasure for the journey, an act of great extravagance indeed...

Cang Yuncheng was somewhat shocked, but remembering the rumors about this individual, he wasn’t too surprised.

As for Cang Yunfei, who had intended to take out his own Magical Artifact from his Storage Pouch, upon seeing Gu Yuan’s Magical Treasure and the invitation to come aboard, he paused and refrained from removing his Upper Grade Magical Artifact. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He merely felt somewhat discontented internally.

Is this what it’s like to be a Major Sect Disciple?

Truly, a wealth of resources, to be able to utilize even a Magical Treasure.

Cang Yuejiao did not seem fazed, arriving on a Sword Light and landing inside the belly of the Blazing Carp Shuttle-turned red carp.

...

Gu Yuan piloted the Blazing Carp Shuttle in accordance with the direction pointed out by Cang Yuncheng.

Cang Yunfei seemed noticeably subdued, lacking his previous exuberance.

Before long, they arrived at their destination.

As soon as they landed, an old man hurried up to them, and upon seeing Cang Yuncheng and the others, he quickly bowed with respectful demeanor, "Greetings, lords..."

"Enough with the formalities, lead the way; we are here specifically to investigate the previous incident."

Cang Yuncheng stepped forward, his expression indifferent yet his tone left no room for doubt.

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, please follow me, lords."

He then led the way ahead.

Gu Yuan and the others naturally followed him.

Soon, they arrived in a mining tunnel.

This area had been sealed off, though faint and obscure clinking sounds could still be heard faintly.

Despite this, the environment was rather serene.

Glowing stones were embedded in the walls, emitting a gentle white light that illuminated the cavern brightly.

"All right, you can leave now."

Gu Yuan waved his hand, dismissing the old man swiftly.

He noticed the anomalies here the moment he arrived.

On the surface, this mining tunnel seemed peaceful with nothing out of the ordinary, but Gu Yuan could sense faint traces of Demonic Qi in the corner of the mine.

Though extremely faint and somewhat peculiar, it was undoubtedly present.

This alone allowed Gu Yuan to confirm his suspicions were correct.

Besides, Gu Yuan detected some clues...

Once the old man left, facing the curious gazes of the others, Gu Yuan explained, "I found something. If he didn’t leave, he might become collateral damage."

Found something?

The others were stunned.

Good heavens, was Gu Yuan really this capable?
