Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 414 - 413: Disciple of the Vermilion Gate Divine Lord!
So now, even though Gu Yuan surpasses Li Changsheng in many aspects, in terms of cultivation and status, Li Changsheng still holds an advantage over Gu Yuan.
The problem is that Gu Yuan’s progress has been incredibly fast, taking just two years to cultivate from a normal person to his current level.
If Gu Yuan were given a bit more time, forming a Golden Core would be absolutely within reach.
Reluctant as some may be to admit, many cannot deny that Gu Yuan is a rare talent, undeniably possessing the potential for a first-grade pill.
In other words, Gu Yuan’s presence has posed a significant threat to Li Changsheng, shaking his status considerably!
Li Changsheng is the face of the aristocratic faction, highly valued by them, with plans to groom him for the position of Sect Leader.
But Gu Yuan’s emergence has undoubtedly become a thorn in the side for the majority of the aristocratic faction’s members!
Zhuo Biquan, in particular, finds Gu Yuan particularly displeasing.
"Changsheng, this kid has been rather lively lately, do you have any thoughts about it?"
Zhuo Biquan looked at his junior cousin.
Li Changsheng maintained a calm demeanor, neither happy nor sad: "Cultivation is about cultivating oneself, cultivating one’s true self. I walk my own path. What does Gu Yuan have to do with me?"
"Heh... you take it lightly indeed."
Zhuo Biquan gave a faint smile and said, "If he forms a first-grade Golden Core, takes your position as senior brother, and in the future even surpasses you in the Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and even Primordial Spirit Realm, what then?"
Li Changsheng’s expression remained calm: "It is none of my concern, so I do not need to pay attention."
"Hmm..."
Zhuo Biquan snorted coldly, having a kind of ’hate iron for not becoming steel’ stance, and questioned, "Have you thought about if Gu Yuan leads you in every aspect, those Daoist scriptures and cultivation resources that should have been yours will go to him. How will you cultivate and breakthrough then?"
Li Changsheng gazed at the rolling mountains in the distance, his expression unchanged: "That, too, is my choice." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Zhuo Biquan frowned, waved his hand: "Alright, you may leave for now, I’ll handle this matter."
After a moment of silence, Li Changsheng said: "Uncle, you don’t have to do this. There is no conflict or enmity between me and Gu Yuan, it’s merely about each relying on their abilities."
"Each relying on their abilities?"
Zhuo Biquan sneered: "You’re still so stubborn. Even if you don’t care yourself, what about us?"
"Gu Yuan’s very existence is a great threat to us!"
"Furthermore, even if he’s harmless now, what about later? When he gains power, he might aim to eliminate us. What we need to do now is prevent future troubles!"
Speaking to this point, Zhuo Biquan waved his hand: "Enough, you don’t need to worry about how I handle it."
Zhuo Biquan glanced at Li Changsheng indifferently, then shook his head, seeming a bit disappointed, and turned to leave.
Watching Zhuo Biquan’s departing figure, Li Changsheng slightly frowned but ultimately said nothing.
...
"Zhuo Biquan..."
Gu Yuan returned to White Cloud Mountain, recalling the looks from earlier, and pondered slightly.
He didn’t know much about this person but heard of him from He Ling True Master a few times.
This person is a disciple of Lord Zhu Que and is the most favored disciple, holding a high status within Medicine King Mountain, just below the two Supreme Elders, Lord Zhu Que and Ancestor Danxia, and the Sect Leader Yu Sheng Daoist.
Importantly, this person belongs to the aristocratic faction, and due to some past events, holds considerable hostility towards the sect lineage.
He Ling True Master had even subtly informed Gu Yuan that during the previous attack on the suspended Dragon Boat, there were traces pointing to this person’s involvement.
Gu Yuan didn’t doubt this much.
Because in all of Medicine King Mountain, very few people could command Cyan Wood True Master, and Zhuo Biquan was the one most suspicious, being the heaviest in faction against the sect lineage.
Moreover, Gu Yuan had noticed, being quite meticulous, that Zhuo Biquan seemed to have some grievances with his own master, He Ling True Master.
To be accurate, it should be grievances extended from the previous generation of He Ling True Master.
Thus, these circumstances led Gu Yuan to have some speculations, and to make him somewhat wary of Zhuo Biquan.
However, fortunately, Gu Yuan’s status and identity have changed significantly from before.
Previously, not yet being a True Disciple, someone like him in the sect’s high ranks could easily arrange tasks for Gu Yuan, which he’d have had to obediently perform.
Refusal would have meant disobeying sect orders, providing more reason for them to punish him according to the rules.
But now, Gu Yuan has become a True Disciple, unequivocally a high-ranking member of Medicine King Mountain. Though his status is still quite lower than someone like Zhuo Biquan, it doesn’t mean he’ll continue to be manipulated.
Because True Disciples rank above ordinary servants, outer sect, and inner sect disciples.
In principle, aside from the two Supreme Elders and the Sect Leader Yu Sheng Daoist, and his master He Ling True Master, others simply have no authority to command him.
Perhaps some are Gu Yuan’s elders, superior in cultivation and strength, but also because of his True Disciple status, his position is relatively transcendent.
As long as it’s not a special situation, there’s no need to worry about what others might do.
...
In the following half month, Gu Yuan did not leave his place and instead took out the Five Thunders Jade Night Chapter from the Library Pavilion and began to read through it.
This Thunder Skill Daoist Scripture was indeed quite profound, and even with Gu Yuan’s talent in Thunder Skill cultivation, he found it somewhat difficult to comprehend initially.
Fortunately, with the Great Divine Technique Prototype Chaos Divine Thunder as a foundation, Gu Yuan possessed an extraordinary talent and enlightenment for Thunder Skill.
After a few days of pondering, Gu Yuan easily grasped the basics, and within a few more days, effortlessly mastered the Five Thunders True Skill.
Because he already had the foundation of Chaos Divine Thunder and Purple Sky Divine Thunder, cultivating the Five Elements Thunder Skill came naturally to him.
Afterwards, he directly condensed the divine Dao seed of the Five Elements Divine Thunder; this divine Dao seed did not remain independent but directly integrated into the divine Dao seed of Chaos Divine Thunder.
With this, the foundation of Chaos Divine Thunder was markedly more stable, becoming unmistakably the most powerful divine technique Gu Yuan had cultivated!!!
Even the Eternal Divine Escape related to the Path of Space couldn’t overshadow its brilliance.
Gu Yuan believed that if he used the Great Divine Technique Prototype Chaos Divine Thunder as a foundation to forge his Golden Core, it would certainly become a first-grade pill without any accident.
However, Gu Yuan remained resolute in his original decision regarding forming the Golden Core.
...
After consolidating his Thunder Skill divine techniques, Gu Yuan took out a stone from the Storage Pouch.
