Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

"Yes!"

The shop assistant breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the gloomy face of his boss, a chill ran down his spine. He nodded hastily, "Don't worry, I will definitely deliver the message!"

With that, he turned and hurried out of the shop, as if being chased by a dog.

Manager Xu then came to the door, poked his head out to check, and after confirming that there was no one around, he closed the door and went to the second floor, opening a side room.

He dragged out a wooden box from under the bed, which was still hanging with an iron lock.

Taking out the key, Manager Xu opened it.

Inside was a half-foot-high wooden box, and the surrounding space was filled with some scattered silver, as well as a stack of silver notes with denominations of one hundred, fifty, and twenty taels.

He took out all the silver notes and counted them, exactly three hundred taels.

Manager Xu's face twitched slightly.

This was the savings of half his life!

But it would soon be sent into the hands of others.

Just thinking about it now made his heart ache, his liver ache, and his whole body ache all over.

This wasn't just taking his money, it was taking his life!

After a long while, Manager Xu carefully stuffed the silver notes into his arms, locked the wooden box again, and closed the door. Then he came to the stairwell.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard a faint footstep behind him, and the footstep was very close.

It seemed that someone was right behind him!

But the shop assistant and the accountant were in the front yard, and the only shop assistant in the shop had just been sent out by him. Besides himself, who else could be in the shop now?

"Who's there!"

Manager Xu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. Just as he was about to turn his head, he felt someone push him hard.

"Ah—"

Then, he lost his balance and screamed as he rolled down the stairs.

When he fell to the first floor, he was lying on the ground, motionless.

At this moment, Gu Yuan leisurely walked downstairs.

After looking around for a moment, he reached out to check his breath, and Gu Yuan was a little surprised:

"Is this old thing so unlucky that he actually fell to his death?"

"It's good to be dead, it saves me from doing it."

Gu Yuan didn't feel any psychological burden about this. After all, this old thing was still thinking about letting Wu Xun, the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, kill him until just now.

In the end, this matter started because this old thing was greedy and engaged in some insidious activities. Now that he has come to this end, it can be said that he is asking for it and deserves it!

Gu Yuan searched Manager Xu's body as usual.

Although he came this time to take revenge and solve the trouble of Manager Xu, it was not his style to return empty-handed.

But when Gu Yuan found a stack of silver notes and a black iron key from Manager Xu, he couldn't help but sigh:

"Good fellow, really three hundred taels of silver, where did this guy get so much money? Did he dig out all the money he saved for his coffin?"

Gu Yuan had also heard the conversation between Manager Xu and the shop assistant just now, and knew that the money was to be given to Wu Xun, the leader of the Green Bamboo Gang.

Previously, his killing of the Third Leader of the Green Bamboo Gang had caused quite a stir in the Green Bamboo Gang.

That Wu guy suffered a great loss, but couldn't find the culprit, so he naturally had to bite off a large piece of fat from Manager Xu as compensation.

But now, it's cheaper for Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan is now very clear about one thing - he has made a fortune!

Three hundred taels of silver, this is a large sum of money!

For example.

Under normal circumstances, one tael of silver is one thousand copper coins, but in reality, silver is scarcer and more valuable than copper. Therefore, in the market, one tael of silver can often be exchanged for more than one thousand and one hundred copper coins.

And one copper coin can buy a big steamed bun, and two copper coins can buy a string of candied haws.

The purchasing power of one copper coin is stronger than one yuan in Gu Yuan's previous life!

In fact, Gu Yuan has been using Ah Huang to monitor Manager Xu during this period of time. He originally just intended to repay grievances and take revenge, but he didn't expect that there would be such a big unexpected gain today!

However, with these silver taels, he will definitely be able to use them when he practices martial arts later.

After all, he has heard some rumors, knowing that martial arts cultivation is a very costly thing in terms of money and resources.

However, Gu Yuan was not prepared to leave just like that.

Looking at the key in his hand, Gu Yuan went to the second floor, opened the side room, and pulled out the wooden box from under the bed.

After opening the iron lock with the key, he saw the small pile of scattered silver at the bottom of the box. At a rough glance, there were about seventy or eighty taels of silver. Gu Yuan unceremoniously found a piece of cloth to wrap it up and prepared to take it away.

As for the wooden box in the box, after opening it, there were actually two medical books inside!

To be precise, in addition to a medical book called "Xu's Medical Canon", there was also a "Compendium of Spiritual Herbs".

[Dao Rhyme Points +7!]

[Dao Rhyme Points +69!]

Just as Gu Yuan touched the two books, prompt messages from the system panel appeared in front of him one after another.

These two books actually contained a lot of Dao Rhyme.

While Gu Yuan was overjoyed, he also noticed something was wrong.

After careful observation, he realized that the former was just an ordinary medical book, at most it was old and had been passed down for several generations.

The latter, however, was a full inch thick, and its material seemed not simple. It was thin and soft to the touch, with a toughness. After careful observation, Gu Yuan was surprised to find that this book was actually made of some kind of special animal skin!

And the content inside, both text and pictures, clearly recorded many patterns of spiritual herbs and exotic flowers!

Gu Yuan opened the first page and saw a strange flower pattern, shaped like a sunflower, but it was completely red and shimmering.

Next to it was a line of small characters introducing it:

[Blazing Sun Flower]

Grade: Eighth-Grade Spiritual Herb

A special spiritual flower that grows in extremely yang places. It takes five hundred years to mature, and its color is crimson. It can be used to refine yang-attribute elixirs such as Blazing Sun Pills and Red Eye Pills. This flower melts when it encounters water, withers when it encounters metal, and can only be taken with jade utensils.

In addition, under a stroke of luck, this spiritual flower has a chance to survive the millennium limit. When the petals turn light gold, the age is as long as five thousand years, which is the Hao Yang Flower, a fifth-grade spiritual herb and one of the best spiritual herbs for washing yang-attribute flying swords.

Below is a pattern of another spiritual herb.

It looks like a mushroom, not big, but it has a green color, and on the umbrella cover, there is a hideous ghost face pattern that is lifelike, like a real ghost face.

[Ghost Face Mushroom]

Grade: Ninth-Grade Spiritual Herb

This thing will only be born in mass graves where more than a thousand people have died, or in places of absolute yin. It grows by absorbing yin and evil energy. It is highly poisonous, and ordinary creatures will die upon contact. However, as long as it is refined properly, it also has the effect of nourishing the soul!

It should be noted that the roots of this medicine often attract corpse fly larvae to produce corpse maggots. Once accidentally contaminated on the skin, the corpse maggots will drill into the flesh, which is extremely dangerous.

[Lapis Lazuli Jade Bamboo]

Grade: Seventh-Grade Spiritual Root

A spiritual bamboo that grows in a place of pure spiritual energy. It likes cleanliness and hates filth. It can be sacrificed and refined into magical weapons and instruments, and its juice can also be used to make elixirs, which is deeply loved by Buddhist practitioners.

[Thunder Pattern Vine]

Grade: Eighth-Grade Spiritual Herb
