Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 408 - 407: Shocking the Whole Audience!

This tall building is named Qianyuan Tower, a place where many disciples come daily to receive tasks and handle various trivial matters.

Gu Yuan’s appearance did attract some attention, but he ignored the gazes of others.

He headed straight to a corner inside the first-floor hall.

There, an emaciated old man was sitting.

This old man was not tall, his expression indifferent, exuding a calm and composed demeanor, unaffected by external circumstances.

To most disciples, the aura around him felt unfathomable.

At this moment, the old man was playing with two beads made of Exotic Gold, rolling them around, seemingly pondering over something.

Although Gu Yuan hadn’t met this old man, he had heard of him.

This person’s surname was Qi, with the given name of Zhangjie, the seventh Elder of Medicine King Mountain, ranked above even He Ling True Master in terms of position and seniority.

It’s worth mentioning that this Elder Qi was himself from the sect’s lineage.

His relationship with He Ling True Master was also considered good.

Noticing someone approaching, Elder Qi looked up and saw a young man with red lips, white teeth, handsome features, and bright, pure eyes walking over.

Elder Qi, along with some other disciples, was taken aback.

In the entire hall, besides Elder Qi, there were actually quite a few stewards who were responsible for helping many disciples resolve various issues.

As for looking for Elder Qi, none dared to.

For although Elder Qi was here, most disciples were very conscious, and unless there was something major, they wouldn’t bother this seventh Elder at all.

Thus, Gu Yuan’s actions appeared somewhat abrupt and direct.

Many people secretly sneered, thinking that Gu Yuan was purposely trying to attract Elder Qi’s attention.

Little did they know, that although Elder Qi was of a stable temperament, he was also quite rigid, and liked delving into the Artifact Refining Art, most annoyed by unsolicited interruptions. No matter how great Gu Yuan’s talent and reputation were, if Elder Qi felt like scolding him, he would do so.

There’s a good show to watch next!

Some people said to themselves silently.

Sure enough, Elder Qi locked his gaze on Gu Yuan as he walked over, saying in a deep voice, "Young Gu, what do you want?"

His words carried a slight interrogative tone.

Speaking of which, although Gu Yuan had an impressive track record, he was still just an Inner Sect Disciple in Medicine King Mountain, and had to abide by the rules.

Moreover, Elder Qi was only a step away from the Yin Spirit Realm, and being rigid by nature, he naturally wouldn’t be wary of Gu Yuan.

"Disciple has a matter to trouble Elder Qi with."

Gu Yuan cupped his hands and gave a salute.

"Oh, what is it?"

Elder Qi raised his eyebrow, his expression indifferent.

He naturally knew of Gu Yuan; however, knowing was one thing, recognizing another, he felt neither particularly fond nor averse toward Gu Yuan.

He had always been interested only in cultivation and Artifact Refining, seldom bothering with sect affairs.

"Disciple has already passed the True Disciple’s assessment task, and I’ve come to claim what’s mine, requesting Elder’s assistance."

Gu Yuan spoke straightforwardly and also produced the identity token given to him by Daoist Yusheng for verification.

"True Disciple...good..."

Elder Qi nodded instinctively, yet the next moment, he froze, exclaiming, "What? You’ve become a True Disciple?!"

Elder Qi didn’t speak loudly, but the disciples present were all astute, and besides, the words "True Disciple" were undeniably sensitive, not to mention the explosive content of Elder Qi’s words.

Hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

Whether they were previously talking or whispering, everyone stopped speaking, turned to Gu Yuan, stunned and astonished.

What did they hear?!

Gu Yuan has actually become a True Disciple?!

Goodness gracious!

Is it true?!

At this moment, the hearts of almost all the disciples present were stirred, to the point of setting off a storm!

Among all the disciples present, there were Outer Disciples, Servant Disciples, and Inner Sect Disciples, but no True Disciples.

This is because True Disciples have already, to some extent, become part of the upper echelon of the sect, enjoying a host of enviable benefits such as having a mountain peak as their personal Cave Mansion.

Apart from this, they also have ten acres of Medicine Garden, five acres of Spirit Field, and can choose a rare Earth Tier Daoist Scripture from the Library Pavilion.

Moreover, they can hire two Inner Sect Disciples, ten Outer Disciples, and several Servant Disciples to work for them.

One could say that Servant and Outer Disciples are exploited beasts of burden, while Inner Sect Disciples fare a little better, with slightly better benefits.

In addition, True Disciples can meet with Elders without bowing, holding high positions and power; each one is a core member of Medicine King Mountain and a genuine high-level authority.

Despite all being disciples, in terms of status, identity, and various benefits and advantages, the gap is vast!

Moreover, every True Disciple is the best of the best.

Given the disparity in talent, aptitude, and resources acquired, they are bound to advance to become Golden Core Great Cultivators in the future, or even have a chance to forge Yin Spirit Dao Fruit and Yang Spirit Dao Fruit!

Not to mention, among the tens of thousands of disciples of Medicine King Mountain, only nine are True Disciples.

Of course, with the new addition of Gu Yuan, that makes it ten.

And these ten individuals are trained to become future Elders and Sect Leaders, each with boundless prospects and great futures.

This is precisely why the quota for True Disciples is coveted by many, to the extent of doing anything to obtain it.

At least, soon enough, Gu Yuan noticed some people’s facial expressions, as well as subtle hand and body movements, revealing feelings of envy, jealousy, unwillingness, and even resentment.

However, Gu Yuan wasn’t surprised.

The quota for True Disciples was extremely limited to begin with.

Originally, with nine True Disciples, there were still three spots open, two for factions, and one for the sect’s lineage.

This being the case, many people, aware that their talent and cultivation speed made becoming a True Disciple nearly impossible, still held some hope.

After all, having hope and having none are entirely different.

Even the faintest glimmer of hope is far better than none at all.

However, now, with Gu Yuan becoming a True Disciple, that leaves only two spots open.

This makes the chances for other Inner Sect Disciples even slimmer, leaving many with mixed emotions.

Moreover, how long has Gu Yuan been on Medicine King Mountain?

Just a year, and to be precise, he only formally acknowledged his master a while ago, yet now, he’s a True Disciple, and although some anticipated this, it’s still unsettling for others.

Especially for some Inner Sect Disciples from the sect’s lineage, their feelings are rather complicated.

The disciples from family factions seem to be alright.
