Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 426 - 425: Myriad Sword Gourd!

"Fellow Daoist Su, are you threatening me?"

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes, looking at the other person, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Threatening?"

Su Qiuyue showed a trace of grievance and said, "Why would Fellow Daoist Gu think that? I have no intention of threatening you at all."

"Is that so?"

Gu Yuan let out a cold laugh, but couldn’t be bothered to argue with the other person, just waved his hand, saying, "I have other matters to attend to next. If Fairy Su has nothing else to discuss, you may leave now."

"As for the Elder Huan Tian or Spirit Gourd Island you mentioned, I’ve never even heard of them."

Saying this, Gu Yuan called out, "Alright, Qiu Yue, see the guest out!"

Gu Yuan was no fool and certainly not a lust-driven ghost. Naturally, he wouldn’t easily believe the other person’s words.

Perhaps Su Qiuyue didn’t mean to threaten Gu Yuan, but she certainly had some intention of leveraging or coercing him.

Otherwise, why point out the identities of Elder Huan Tian and his son Zheng Changlong? And the enmity between them and Spirit Gourd Island?!

Yes, if what Su Qiuyue said was true, then indeed Gu Yuan had enmity with Elder Huan Tian and Zheng Changlong.

But so what?

Having enmity doesn’t mean he has to seek revenge immediately. Besides, his current cultivation strength isn’t that strong. He can wait until he reaches a certain level of cultivation strength to settle scores. There’s no need to act according to Su Qiuyue’s wishes.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, don’t misunderstand."

Seeing Gu Yuan’s reaction, Su Qiuyue put away her smile and said seriously:

"I truly have no intention of threatening you. I just wanted to remind you of a fact: helping me is actually helping yourself."

"Helping myself?"

Gu Yuan smiled, but his face was filled with mockery all the more.

"Fairy Su, why say things you don’t even believe yourself? I initially thought of you as a capable person, but your words and actions have truly disappointed me..."

However, Su Qiuyue paid no mind to Gu Yuan’s mockery and instead explained righteously:

"There’s one thing you might not know, Fellow Daoist Gu: Zheng Changlong actually holds a clue about the Spirit Treasure ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords’ from Spirit Gourd Island."

"Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords?"

The previously uninterested Gu Yuan was shaken in his heart and suddenly looked at Su Qiuyue.

The ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords’ mentioned by Su Qiuyue was actually the treasured artifact of Spirit Gourd Island, shaped like a black gourd resembling jade and gold, about the size of a palm.

This treasure has been passed down since ancient times, and has been refined by successive Isle Masters to an extraordinarily high grade.

Even among many spiritual treasures, it ranks quite high!

Previously, Spirit Gourd Island suffered a disaster, and the Immortal Longevity perished. However, sensing that Spirit Gourd Island still had a glimmer of hope, and that the ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords’ could not fall into enemy hands, the Immortal Longevity expended the last of his power to send the Gourd to a hidden place.

This matter was previously told to Gu Yuan by Profound Origin Daoist, and it was firmly remembered by Gu Yuan.

At that time, Profound Origin Daoist specifically instructed Gu Yuan to pay attention to information related to the ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords.’

As for the location of the ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords,’ even Profound Origin Daoist was unsure, which was somewhat disappointing to Gu Yuan at the time.

Otherwise, if he had such a spiritual treasure in hand, Gu Yuan could dominate the Southern Border, and even if he encountered an enemy he could not defeat, he could rely on it to escape.

Additionally, although Profound Origin Daoist didn’t know where the Gourd is now, the connection between the Gourd and Spirit Gourd Island is hard to break.

As long as Gu Yuan is within a certain range of the ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords,’ he’ll surely sense something.

Even though Profound Origin Daoist didn’t elaborate on the importance of the Gourd, Gu Yuan, who’s no fool, naturally understands its immense value.

In the entire Southern Border Cultivation Realm, there are countless cultivation sects and family clans, but among them, Gu Yuan has only vaguely heard that the Primordial Nether Sect possibly has a spiritual treasure.

A spiritual treasure is something only a Primordial Spirit True Immortal can refine, and it is an underpinning of the Primordial Spirit level.

Possessing a spiritual treasure is equivalent to having a Primordial Spirit True Immortal overseeing the sect, and even if external enemies invade, with the spiritual treasure, it can suppress fate and contend with the Primordial Spirit!

To say nothing further, for instance, Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect are strong forces but have no spiritual treasures.

In the case of the Star River Sword Sect, Gu Yuan once heard a rumor.

Thousands of years ago, the Star River Sword Sect acquired one of the Nine Divine Golds, and several Sect Leaders and Supreme Elders jointly started refining it, reportedly intending to turn it into a flying sword at the grade of a spiritual treasure.

As for whether they’ve succeeded, aside from a few in the Star River Sword Sect, no one else knows.

However, a spiritual treasure is akin to a nuclear weapon in Gu Yuan’s previous life, an extremely important strategic weapon. Any country possessing it would have a significantly altered international standing, being more feared by others.

The same goes for spiritual treasures.

A cultivation sect with a spiritual treasure is entirely different from one without.

A sect with a spiritual treasure to suppress fate can be called a Cultivation Sacred Land, with enduring fortune and continuous lineage.

A sect without such a spiritual treasure, like Medicine King Mountain or Gu God Sect, can only be called a first-class major cultivation sect, clearly a notch below "Sacred Land."

Therefore, the value of a spiritual treasure is immeasurable, undoubtedly a priceless treasure, impossible to be exchanged for any amount of Spirit Stones.

Only objects of the same level, such as an Immortal Elixir, Marvelous Treasure, or Spiritual Object, might be qualified for exchange.

So, the ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords’ is crucial for Spirit Gourd Island and Gu Yuan!

With the Gourd in hand, Gu Yuan could traverse the vast world and could rebuild the Spirit Gourd Island sect, bringing it greater glory with the Gourd as its foundation!

"Fellow Daoist Su, are you trying to deceive me?"

Gu Yuan stared intently at Su Qiuyue and asked, "You say Elder Huan Tian knows about the Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords, which I can believe, but claiming that the clue is on his son Zheng Changlong—do you think I would believe that?"

Su Qiuyue smiled, saying meaningfully, "Since you don’t believe, Brother Gu, why are you so tense?"

Gu Yuan wasn’t angry, but quickly calmed down, gently tapping the sturdy table with his finger and said, "Fairy Su, remember, it’s you who came to ask me for help, not the other way around. Since you want my help, you should have the attitude appropriate for asking a favor!"

The ’Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords’ is indeed very, very important, and verily valuable, but Gu Yuan wasn’t swept away by the news.

Because he wasn’t the only one eyeing the Gourd of Ten Thousand Swords. There were surely many others secretly interested; needless to mention, those Primordial Spirit True Immortals who destroyed Spirit Gourd Island were certainly paying attention to it.

Even if Gu Yuan obtained the clue from Zheng Changlong, what good would it do?
