Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

With a newly emerged Innate Martial Master under his command, Xia Mingyang, as the Pavilion Master, naturally had to meet him. This was only proper, otherwise, he would be neglecting his duties.

"Alright, then please lead the way, Third Miss."

Gu Yuan naturally understood this point, so he readily nodded in agreement.

Xia Xiuxue didn't say anything more and got up to leave.

Before long, the two arrived at Jade Cauldron Tower.

Upon reaching the third floor and entering the room, Gu Yuan saw Xia Mingyang standing in front of the window, hands clasped behind his back, gazing outside.

"Subordinate Gu Yuan greets Pavilion Master!"

Gu Yuan stepped forward and cupped his fist in salute.

A hint of surprise surfaced in his heart.

In his perception, Xia Mingyang seemed to have merged with the surrounding world. The Qi around his body intertwined with the heavens and earth, circulating endlessly.

Compared to the last time, the pressure he exerted on Gu Yuan was much greater!

Of course, Gu Yuan was not what he used to be, so he didn't feel that this pressure was anything significant.

However, Xia Mingyang's condition stirred something in Gu Yuan's heart, giving rise to a speculation: "Could it be that this Pavilion Master Xia has already established his Dao Foundation and become a Celestial Realm cultivator?!"

It was no wonder Gu Yuan had such thoughts.

Innate Martial Masters possessed powerful spirits and wills, capable of sensing the surrounding heaven and earth Yuan Qi and drawing it in to transform it into True Qi.

However, only Celestial Realm cultivators could merge their own spirit and True Qi with the heavens and earth, communicating with the heaven and earth Yuan Qi!

And Xia Mingyang's performance clearly showed that he was merging and communicating with the heavens and earth.

Though astonished in his heart, Gu Yuan remained calm on the surface, not revealing anything.

It was also because of his Sword Heart talent that his own spiritual sense was exceptionally sharp, allowing him to sense this.

Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to see through it.

Therefore, Xia Mingyang was likely deliberately hiding it, so there was no need to let him know that he had seen through it.

Xia Mingyang turned around, looked at Gu Yuan, and smiled: "You are also a member of my Jade Cauldron Tower, so there's no need to be so formal."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Gu Yuan, and a hint of surprise surfaced in his eyes.

The young man before him had handsome features, rosy lips, and white teeth. His figure was slender and well-proportioned, and his eyes were bright and pure. He was truly a beautiful young man.

But at Xia Mingyang's level, when he looked at a person, he no longer limited himself to their appearance, but rather looked at their "spirit."

Some people seemed to have dignified appearances and spoke eloquently, but in reality, their hearts were dark and wretched, and their spiritual intent was like that of a sneaky villain.

There were also people with ugly appearances and physical disabilities, but their spiritual intent was peaceful and vast, firm and unyielding, like mountains and rocks!

In Xia Mingyang's eyes, Gu Yuan's aura was pure, his spirit was complete and abundant, and a sharp, piercing intent was hidden within his gentleness, like a precious sword hidden in its sheath.

Whether it was his cultivation or his swordsmanship, they both exuded a sense of perfection.

He had never seen such a pure and flawless temperament and spiritual intent in his life.

Even when he was on Medicine King Mountain, he was not like this.

Xia Mingyang was somewhat surprised, even shocked. For the first time, he felt that he had underestimated the young man before him.

To have such a spiritual intent, the Gu Yuan before him was by no means an ordinary person!

But he clearly remembered that the last time he saw Gu Yuan, although the other party had iron bones and flexible muscles and was quite remarkable, he could only be said to be good.

How could a mere farmer's son undergo such a transformation in such a short period of time?

Thinking this, he suddenly thought of Chen Qi, who seemed to value this young man quite highly.

Could it be that this young man possessed some kind of potential that had not been discovered?

A thought popped into his head.

"Come, sit!"

Xia Mingyang pointed to a seat nearby, asked Gu Yuan to sit down, and signaled Xia Xiuxue, who had poured tea, to leave.

After Xia Xiuxue left, he also sat down opposite him and said: "Do you know why I asked Xiuxue to call you here?"

"This…"

Gu Yuan was a little surprised, and then smiled: "Could it be that the Pavilion Master sees me as a talent worthy of being nurtured, so he intends to cultivate me well?"

"You are indeed a smart person."

Xia Mingyang took a deep look at Gu Yuan.

To put it bluntly, the reason he called Gu Yuan here was simply because he felt that Gu Yuan's aptitude and potential were good and had considerable value, so he intended to win him over and wanted to take Gu Yuan for his own use.

Gu Yuan also saw this point and jokingly said that he wanted to cultivate him well.

Both of them were understanding people, so some things could be said openly.

"You were able to advance to the Innate Martial Master in such a short period of time, presumably because you have a good foundation and understanding, but also because you have another opportunity."

"For us cultivators, in addition to our own foundation and understanding, our own opportunities are also very important."

Xia Mingyang smiled and said: "However, now that you have advanced to the Innate level, have you thought about what to do in the future?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's heart stirred slightly. He did not answer this question, but cupped his fist and said:

"Please enlighten me, Pavilion Master!"

The smile on Xia Mingyang's lips deepened:

"Senior Brother Chen must have told you that my Medicine King Mountain recruits disciples every five years, and the last time we recruited disciples was a year ago. Moreover, you are a bit older and do not quite meet the age requirements for recruiting disciples."

Xia Mingyang changed the subject: "However, although these situations are established facts, it does not mean that you have no chance at all."

"Not long after, a big figure from my Medicine King Mountain will come down the mountain. This big figure has always been unrestrained and does not adhere to formalities. He does not pay much attention to some rules, and this is your chance!"

"As the Pavilion Master of Jade Cauldron Tower, I also have the responsibility to recommend talents to the sect. I can recommend two people to the sect within five years. If you are really worthy of being nurtured, what harm is there in using this recommendation quota?"

Saying this, Xia Mingyang smiled without saying a word and picked up his teacup to taste it himself.

Gu Yuan was not a fool and could naturally hear the true meaning of these words…

What does it mean to be worthy of being nurtured?

Isn't it just telling him to be sensible!

Because Xia Mingyang had the quota to recommend talents to Medicine King Mountain in his hands.

As long as Gu Yuan wanted to join Medicine King Mountain, he had to be sensible.

"Pavilion Master, rest assured!"

Gu Yuan cupped his fist and said solemnly: "If I am fortunate enough to join Medicine King Mountain, I will definitely not forget your kindness in recommending me!"

Well, if you really help me join Medicine King Mountain, I will remember your kindness at that time, and I will repay you as I should in the future.

But if you want to harm me, or want me to die, then don't blame me for turning against you…

On the surface, Gu Yuan was righteous, but in his heart, he was thinking other things.

He could see that Xia Mingyang was obviously not going to act unless he saw results.

He had to make a guarantee and express his loyalty before he would give this recommendation quota.

But since Xia Mingyang wanted to hear these words, then it wouldn't hurt for him to say them.

Previously, Old Man Chen reminded Gu Yuan to stay away from Xia Mingyang, saying that he was a dangerous person.

Gu Yuan kept it in mind and was also wary of Xia Mingyang.

But when it came to such an important matter as joining Medicine King Mountain, there was no need to be too rigid.

If Xia Mingyang really wanted to plot against him, then he was not made of clay.

Gu Yuan knew that Xia Mingyang's so-called recommendation quota might be important, but whether he could join Medicine King Mountain depended on his own talent and aptitude!
