Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 461 - 460: Jade Magpie Island!

"Xuancheng Patriarch?"

Gu Yuan noticed this title. The word "Patriarch" is not something just anyone can bear. Normally, in the cultivation realm, only Yin Spirit giants and above are qualified to be called Patriarch.

Of course, there are some self-important, elderly Golden Core great cultivators who call themselves Patriarch.

But judging by the cultivation strength of that mixed-blood person, Xuancheng Patriarch is clearly not an ordinary character.

"What’s the background of this Xuancheng Patriarch?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

Yu Qiubai said with a heavy expression, "A Yangshen expert!"

Yangshen expert?

Gu Yuan nodded, not overly fearful, as he indeed had encountered and even offended two beings of this level.

For example, a venerable figure from the Gu God Sect, and Zhu Que Shendao from his own Medicine King Mountain.

Gu Yuan continued to ask, "Please elaborate."

Seeing Gu Yuan’s calm expression, so composed and unhurried, Yu Qiubai subconsciously shared what he knew, "It’s said that Xuancheng Patriarch is not a pure Great Demon, but of mixed human-demon blood. His father is a clam spirit, and his mother is a cultivator."

"And Xuancheng Patriarch himself has outstanding aptitude and ultimately cultivated to the Yangshen expert realm. Moreover, this demon seems to not favor humans or demons, but particularly loves taking mixed-blood humans and demons as disciples."

"Loves taking mixed-blood humans and demons as disciples?"

Gu Yuan nodded thoughtfully.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, if you want to discuss these matters, why not find another place? Now that Yan Xi’s death must have spread, if someone finds us here, it will be very troublesome."

However, Yu Qiubai hesitated, looking at Gu Yuan’s storage pouch, unable to resist saying, "Especially since earlier you..."

"Fellow Daoist Yu means my gouging out the Golden Core of this rogue earlier? Somewhat taboo?"

Seeing Yu Qiubai’s reaction, how could Gu Yuan not understand what he meant? With a smile, he didn’t refuse, saying, "Then let’s change the place."

"That would be best."

Yu Qiubai nodded repeatedly, eagerly leaving with Gu Yuan.

Before leaving, Gu Yuan released a burst of true flame, thoroughly burning Yan Xi’s corpse to ashes, covering up the traces.

The skill was remarkably adept, but Yu Qiubai’s heart grew more tense, looking at Gu Yuan with increased trepidation.

Just how many times must Gu Yuan have done this to be so practiced...

To avoid trouble, the two flew tens of thousands of miles, with many changes in direction, and also removed and concealed their scent.

In this way, they finally arrived at a desolate island before stopping.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, that Xuancheng Patriarch has a fierce and peculiar temperament, always protective of his people, so you must not expose what happened earlier."

Yu Qiubai seriously urged, then thought for a moment and added:

"Moreover, you offended Iron Plough Island to save me, so it’s best to leave with me later to avoid this calamity."

"I’m nothing special, just a disciple under Ancestor Qingmu at Yuqiao Island. As long as you reach Yuqiao Island, even if Xuancheng Patriarch has the courage of a bear or leopard, he won’t dare offend lightly."

"Though they don’t know you killed Yan Xi yet, Xuancheng Patriarch’s lineage often has a special skill whereby you’d be tracked if you killed someone from Iron Plough Island."

"Xuancheng Patriarch is vengeful and will surely send people to trace your whereabouts."

Yuqiao Island? Ancestor Qingmu?

Hearing this, Gu Yuan understood well; Yu Qiubai also had considerable background, no less than Iron Plough Island.

As for the special skill Yu Qiubai mentioned from Xuancheng Patriarch’s lineage, Gu Yuan heard about it but didn’t take it to heart.

For a Yangshen expert, Golden Core great cultivators are like large ants. Yan Xi’s death might alert Xuancheng Patriarch but might not warrant this being’s personal action to hunt the culprit. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

So Gu Yuan naturally didn’t mind too much.

He knew bit of Yuqiao Island; it’s the sacred ground of Yangshen expert Ancestor Qingmu. Though Qingmu’s cultivation is comparable to Xuancheng Patriarch, the key difference is Qingmu is an independent female immortal, and her senior brother is a Primordial Spirit True Immortal!

Due to this, Qingmu Immortal holds a rather exalted position in the East Sea cultivation realm.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, worry not; actually, before killing Yan Xi, I had already slain several Iron Plough Island disciples, including his junior disciple, also a Golden Core, whom I killed on a whim."

Gu Yuan laughed, "So, I’ve already offended Iron Plough Island long ago."

Seeing Yu Qiubai rather concerned, considering various scenarios for him, and even inviting him to Yuqiao Island for refuge, Gu Yuan held Yu Qiubai in higher regard.

Since entering the cultivation realm, Gu Yuan had seen all kinds of people, most of whom were profit-driven; as for kindhearted and honest people, there weren’t none, but Gu Yuan had met few.

Hence, someone like Yu Qiubai is indeed rare.

Of course, Gu Yuan could sense that Yu Qiubai’s words were spoken genuinely, without deception.

Also, as Gu Yuan knew, Yuqiao Island and Qingmu Immortal’s reputation were quite good.

...

Before killing Yan Xi, had already killed several Iron Plough Island disciples, including a Golden Core...

Yu Qiubai fell silent, after hearing Gu Yuan’s words.

Recalling the terrifying swordsmanship Gu Yuan showed earlier, Yu Qiubai didn’t doubt, finding instead surprised by Gu Yuan’s prowess.

Moreover, a slight doubt arose in his mind.

To slay Golden Core cultivators at the Celestial Human realm is extremely rare even in the East Sea cultivation realm’s sacred land. Why does Brother Chu speak so naturally and casually, without any pride, as if it’s normal?

Gu Yuan indeed noticed Yu Qiubai’s evident doubts but didn’t bother to dwell and simply accepted the invitation, saying:

"If it’s no trouble, shall I ask you, Fellow Daoist Yu, to lead the way?"

"No trouble at all."

Hearing Gu Yuan agree to visit his sect, Yu Qiubai was quite excited, akin to Gu Yuan inviting a childhood friend to play at his house.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, let’s set off then."

"Alright."

...

Gu Yuan planned to go to Yuqiao Island because, one, his understanding of the East Sea cultivation realm mainly came from records in Medicine King Mountain, which might be biased, so firsthand experience would be more accurate and comprehensive.

Secondly, because Qingmu Immortal’s reputation was good, at least not one for reneging or notorious evil.

Gu Yuan now intended to break through to Golden Core great cultivator, naturally needing a suitable place.
