Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Li Changqing, perhaps confident in the protection of his elder brother Li Changsheng, intended to join the excitement at the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace and vie for a share of the opportunity.

Little did he know that the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace was not a place for child's play; even with Li Changsheng present, he might not necessarily be able to protect him.

Of course, what happened to Li Changqing was none of Gu Yuan's concern.

He merely glanced at Li Changqing, remaining indifferent.

However, another inner disciple, who had been displeased with Gu Yuan's several displays of prominence, now felt a surge of superiority upon seeing that Gu Yuan could not enter the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace.

A mocking smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but speak:

"What? Does Junior Brother Gu also wish to accompany us to the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace?"

"It's just a pity that the Crimson Dragon Token slots have long been determined. Junior Brother Gu, you can only dream about it..."

Many disciples, especially inner disciples from the aristocratic families, also harbored some dislike for Gu Yuan. Hearing this, they teased:

"Senior Brother Chen is right. Junior Brother Gu has only been a disciple for a short time. Otherwise, if he had joined the sect a few years earlier, he might have had a chance to obtain a slot."

Real Person Hueling cast a cold glance at these people, the sharpness of his gaze causing many to change their expressions and quickly avoid his eyes.

However, some people were not impressed by Real Person Hueling, such as the Chen disciple who had spoken earlier.

He considered himself a junior, and behind him was a backer even stronger than Real Person Hueling, so he naturally wasn't afraid of the latter.

"Yes, it's such a pity..."

The Chen disciple feigned a sigh and said, "But if Junior Brother Gu could have switched his allegiance to my aristocratic family lineage from the start, he might have been able to obtain a slot like Junior Brother Li Changqing."

Li Changqing's face darkened upon hearing this, and he glared at him.

Although it was common knowledge that he was a nail planted by the aristocratic family faction in the sect lineage, saying it in front of so many people was just asking for trouble, wasn't it?

Gu Yuan looked at the Chen disciple and knew his identity.

This guy was the second disciple of Real Person Zixiao, the Fifth Elder of Medicine King Mountain, and his own cultivation strength was also considered good.

Coincidentally, his master, Real Person Zixiao, was Real Person Hueling's old rival.

Gu Yuan was quite interested in the gossip of his elders and had asked Sha Luosheng and Xia Xiuxue about it. At first, the two naturally didn't dare to say much.

However, after Gu Yuan's repeated questioning, they finally revealed some things.

Real Person Zixiao was a high-level figure in the aristocratic family faction of Medicine King Mountain, with seniority even greater than Real Person Hueling. It was said that he even had some grievances with Real Person Hueling's master.

Real Person Hueling's master, who was also Gu Yuan's grandmaster, later passed away. Real Person Hueling had not yet formed his Golden Core at the time, and therefore, without his master's protection, he had indeed suffered much injustice and grievance.

Thus, the conflict between the two sides grew larger and larger. Fortunately, Real Person Hueling also had several martial uncles and aunts who occasionally helped, so he did not encounter any accidents.

Later, as Real Person Hueling formed his Golden Core, the various pressures he faced were greatly reduced.

However, because of the grievances of the elders and his own past experiences, the enmity between Real Person Hueling and Real Person Zixiao was almost irreconcilable.

Therefore, this Chen fellow disliked Gu Yuan, and now he jumped out to pick a fight.

There was no other reason, there was hatred!

With Real Person Hueling's personality, Gu Yuan suspected that if this Chen fellow wasn't on the Sky Dragon Boat now, and if there weren't other people around, Real Person Hueling would have killed him long ago.

It was only because he was in front of so many people that he was certain Real Person Hueling wouldn't dare to do anything that he dared to say such things.

However, Real Person Hueling had his concerns, but Gu Yuan did not.

If others were going to step on his face, if he could tolerate it, would he, Gu Yuan, still be a man?

"If you want to fight, then fight. What's with all the jabbering? What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Gu Yuan raised his hand and pointed, a sharp and extreme sword intent spreading out, the water vapor in the world gathering and transforming into a clear sword light that stabbed out.

The sword light was incomparably sharp, yet it also carried a continuous and endless charm!

The Chen disciple snorted coldly and raised his hand to unleash a magical artifact, an iron ring.

Gu Yuan's swordsmanship was good, but was he someone to be trifled with?

A dazzling spiritual light met the sword light.

Clang!!!

The sword light struck the spiritual light, emitting the clanging sound of metal colliding, then the sword light shattered, transforming into specks of water vapor that scattered.

The iron ring artifact also dimmed and returned to the Chen disciple's side.

Gu Yuan's swordsmanship was naturally extraordinary, but the sword he had just unleashed was ultimately just sword qi, not the Silver Dragon Sword, and its essence was too fragile.

"Heh..."

The Chen disciple sneered, about to utter mocking words, but the water vapor that had just dissipated in the air gathered again into a drop of water the size of a dragon's eye, glistening and shining, flying seemingly slowly but actually quickly.

A sword intent that was not overbearing but firm and persistent was contained within, easily breaking through his protective magic and smashing into his body.

Pfft!

The Chen disciple coughed up blood and fell to the ground, feeling the true energy within his body in disarray, his whole body in excruciating pain from the strands of sword qi stirring within him, and he screamed:

Gu Yuan, you deserve to die...

Real Person Hueling chuckled, he knew Gu Yuan wouldn't let him down.

As the elder leading the team this time, and also as a senior, there were some things he was inconvenient and unable to do.

Now that Gu Yuan had vented his anger for him, Real Person Hueling naturally felt happy.

Originally, when the two started fighting, there were still some people watching with cold eyes, harboring the intention of watching the excitement.

But when the Chen disciple was stabbed by Gu Yuan's sword, many people's expressions changed.

Some secretly cursed Chen Chong for being useless, that a senior disciple was so easily defeated by Gu Yuan, a disciple who had just entered the sect, which was simply embarrassing for them!

It would have been fine if he couldn't beat him, but the key was that he had actually taken the initiative to provoke him, wasn't that just asking for trouble?

There were also disciples from aristocratic families who frowned secretly, becoming increasingly displeased with Gu Yuan.

Injuring Chen Chong was nothing, but he was, after all, a disciple of the aristocratic family faction. With everyone watching, Gu Yuan's victory over him made them lose face as well.

"Stop!"

Just as Gu Yuan was about to continue his attack, the true disciple Chu He in the distance raised his hand and shot out a point of azure light, stopping Gu Yuan.

Chi—

Gu Yuan dodged to the side, and saw the azure light land on the ground, silently creating a hole the thickness of a finger, with an unfathomable depth.

If Gu Yuan hadn't dodged in time, it would have created a bloody hole in his body.

"Spare when you can, Junior Brother Gu. Junior Brother Chen only said a few unpleasant words, but you attacked and injured him. This is a bit too much..."

Chu He chuckled. At this moment, this face was extremely annoying in Gu Yuan's eyes, with the appearance of a treacherous villain.

Real Person Hueling's expression darkened, and just as he was about to say something, Gu Yuan stopped him and sneered at Chu He:

"Chu, stop pretending to be a big shot here!"
