Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 412 - 411: The Shock of Two People!

The three of them hadn’t been walking along the rugged mountain trail for long, when suddenly!

A centipede over three feet long, its entire body shimmering with silver light, and bearing a menacing yet magnificent appearance, darted past from a short distance on the right.

The sharp and terrifying aura emanating from it, although only fleeting, made the two of them change their expressions and instinctively stop in their tracks.

Fan Changming and Wu Shanshan felt their hearts leap, somewhat startled, because both of them had already recognized the identity of this centipede, it was the Silver-backed Centipede, an ancient exotic insect descended!

At the same time, both of them sensed a dangerous aura from the centipede, feeling a tingling sensation on their scalps and chills down their spines.

The two immediately became cautious.

As they both knew, leaving aside Gu Yuan, even this centipede alone was not something they could handle.

As for Qiu Yue, she remained calm because she had already been forewarned by Gu Yuan, who informed her that within the territory of White Cloud Mountain, there were some Spirit Pets he had been raising.

So, she wasn’t surprised at all.

Not long after, a large snake, more than ten meters long, lay across the path.

This snake was quite peculiar, entirely dark without any other colors, with tightly adjoining scales, and its serpent eyes emitted a faint ghostly glow.

The three of them immediately halted.

Fan Changming and Wu Shanshan displayed expressions of shock and astonishment, never expecting to find such a demon here, which was no less terrifying than the Silver-backed Centipede they had just encountered.

They attempted to probe it with their Divine Thought, only to find it would soon be completely devoured.

This strange sensation and the odd occurrence of their Divine Thought being consumed frightened them, preventing either from daring to extend their Divine Thought anymore.

They were quite shocked. The Silver-backed Centipede was understandable, as it was something they had heard about, knowing that Gu Yuan possessed such an ancient exotic insect’s descendant.

Moreover, there was also the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, another ancient exotic insect descendant.

Both of these exotic insects were highly envied by the True Inheritance of the Gu God Sect. Indeed, a disciple of the True Inheritance had previously angered Gu Yuan over them, leading to a life-and-death Magical Battle.

Such treasures, if an ordinary disciple acquired even one, would allow them to dominate their peers, yet Gu Yuan possessed two, which made many envious and jealous, secretly murmuring about Gu Yuan’s good fortune.

Who would have thought that such a strange snake would emerge on White Cloud Mountain now?!

One thing was for sure, that with this strange snake being here, it must certainly be a Spirit Pet raised by Gu Yuan.

This strange snake felt very dangerous to the two of them, even more so than the True Disciples they knew. This added to their sense of intrigue regarding Gu Yuan.

Even his Spirit Pets were comparable to True Disciples; indeed, this Brother Gu lived up to his reputation as the so-called "Golden Core Killer."

Qiu Yue wore a peculiar expression on her face.

If she remembered correctly, this strange snake was not only Gu Yuan’s Spirit Pet, but it hadn’t been here when she descended the mountain earlier.

Yet it now lay across the path, blocking their way—could it be on Gu Yuan’s command?

With these thoughts in mind, she stepped forward and waved her hand in a shooing gesture. The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python lazily glanced at her, recognizing Qiu Yue’s identity, and without any further action, slowly slithered away.

"You two, let’s go now."

Qiu Yue looked back at the two behind her and spoke softly.

Fan Changming and Wu Shanshan exchanged looks before slowly following along.

This Brother Gu truly conceals his capabilities...

Besides the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede, he also has such a fearsome python Spirit Pet, and who knows what else might be hidden away?

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s impression in their minds grew even more mysterious and intimidating.

...

Soon, the three of them entered Gu Yuan’s cave mansion, which he had named the "White Cloud Residence."

At this moment, Gu Yuan was toying with a jade-colored Spirit Pearl, wearing a purple robe embroidered with exquisite and luxurious patterns, fitting him perfectly.

Paired with his handsome features and a demeanor of ease and confidence, he exuded an indescribable aura of mystery and nobility.

"Junior Brother Fan Changming (and Junior Sister Wu Shanshan) pay respects to Brother Gu!"

Fan Changming and Wu Shanshan quickly saluted, their attitude respectful, even somewhat reverent.

There was no choice; to them, the mysterious and terrifying Gu Yuan could do things they could never achieve in their lifetime.

Among the many disciples, there was an implicit consensus that Brother Gu was not in the same league as them; in all of Medicine King Mountain’s True Disciples, only the First True Inheritor Senior Brother, Li Changsheng, was on the same level as him.

As for Sun Zhong, Murong Wushuang, and other True Disciples, they were slightly inferior.

Therefore, despite the envy and resentment some people felt towards Gu Yuan in private, they had to acknowledge this fact.

Gu Yuan’s achievements, potential, strength, and future were beyond their reach.

"Junior Brother Fan and Junior Sister Wu, please, no need for such formalities. Have a seat."

Gu Yuan smiled and offered them seats, then had Qiu Yue bring over some Spirit Tea.

The two carefully took their cups, tasted the tea, and instantly felt their minds clear, hearts refreshed, as if they had been standing for decades and finally sat down.

"What excellent tea!"

Fan Changming praised, "This tea is slightly sweet upon entry, initially bitter then sweet again, with a lingering aftertaste. It invigorates the mind and clears the eyes; long-term consumption must be greatly beneficial for one’s cultivation. Truly a rare, high-quality tea..."

Gu Yuan, smiling, said, "If Junior Brother Fan likes it, feel free to drink more. Hmm, Qiu Yue, make sure each of them takes a pound with them when they leave."

"Yes!"

Qiu Yue responded promptly.

"Thank you, Senior Brother!"

Fan Changming and Wu Shanshan were quite surprised, and then overjoyed, quickly expressing their gratitude.

Both were knowledgeable and knew that the Spirit Tea they just drank wasn’t something simple—a pound of it could cost seven to eight hundred Spirit Stones. They wouldn’t normally afford it in their daily lives.

They would typically save every Spirit Stone, spending them on Spirit Pills and Magical Artifacts.

But now, Gu Yuan was casually gifting them a pound each, a generous gesture that truly impressed them.

From then on, their conversation became a bit more reverent.

Especially Wu Shanshan, whose gaze towards Gu Yuan grew more admiring and tender, almost like silk.

Gu Yuan, however, remained indifferent.

He had plenty of good things on him, and as for the Spirit Tea, Gu Yuan didn’t even remember which unlucky soul’s Storage Pouch he found it in.

Gu Yuan didn’t have many hobbies; besides Alchemy and taming Spirit Beasts, he had no other interests, although he would occasionally drink some Spirit Tea or Spirit Wine.
