Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Chapter 24: Body Transformation!

Gu Yuan subconsciously scratched his neck, peeling off a thin layer of skin.

"Hmm, dead skin? Old skin shedding, new skin growing?"

He then rubbed his arm, and a layer of skin came off, revealing skin that was much fairer and more delicate.

On a whim, Gu Yuan simply took off his clothes and rubbed his whole body, a strange look on his face.

"Why does it feel like a snake shedding its skin?"

After getting dressed, Gu Yuan got up and stretched his limbs, feeling that his movements were more flexible, his strength had increased, and even his flexibility had improved, allowing him to perform all kinds of difficult movements.

Even his senses and spirit had improved, making him energetic and quick-witted.

After all, the "Golden Serpent Swallowing Yuan Skill" was created by imitating a unique spiritual snake, and it was also stained with some of the characteristics of a "snake". When practiced to perfection, it could even contract muscles and bones, shrinking an adult's height and body shape into that of a child.

At this time, Gu Yuan's body seemed a little thinner than before, as if it had been compressed, but the muscle lines on his body were more fluid and full, revealing a different kind of powerful beauty.

"What a wonderful feeling!"

Gu Yuan clenched his fist, feeling the abundant power within, and couldn't help but ponder:

"This martial art should be a way of evolution, using various means to strengthen the body and spirit, and improve one's life essence."

"However, although this "Golden Serpent Swallowing Yuan Skill" is quite subtle and progresses rapidly when practiced, it doesn't seem very friendly to ordinary people. Whether practicing boxing or breathing exercises, it consumes energy and blood, and ravages the body. Even if I often use Astragalus and Pigeon Soup to nourish my body, it is difficult to completely eliminate this effect!"

Gu Yuan thought silently: "If I hadn't obtained the blessing of the 'Iron Teeth' talent, and my body had undergone a complete transformation, with a foundation more solid than ordinary people, I would definitely have some hidden injuries."

"Could it be that the higher the grade of martial arts, the higher the requirements for the practitioner?! If superior martial arts are like this, if they were replaced by top-notch martial arts, or even higher-level cultivation methods, it might not be a good thing for people with poor aptitude and foundation to obtain them."

"Of course, this is just my personal guess, as for what exactly happens, it is still unknown."

Gu Yuan stopped thinking and with a thought, summoned the attribute panel:

[Beast Lord]: Gu Yuan

[Status]: Normal

[Beast Pets]: Iron Tooth Rat (can evolve into Little Treasure-Seeking Rat, requires 800 Dao runes) - Ironback Centipede (can evolve into Silverback Azure Centipede, requires 5600 Dao runes).

[Tameable Beast Pets]: 1

[Cultivation]: Acquired Martial Master (Skin Refining)

[Dao Runes]: 230

In the beast pet column, the Iron Tooth Rat and the Ironback Centipede were very conspicuous.

And below, there was also a [Tameable Beast Pet], which was obviously consistent with Gu Yuan's guess. The key to the number of spiritual pets he could tame lay in his own strength.

Now that he had become a martial master, he did indeed have one more spiritual pet slot.

The cultivation column below was no longer the word 'None'.

As for Dao Runes, although Gu Yuan had not actively collected them during this period because he was busy practicing martial arts, he had accumulated 230 Dao Runes.

Unfortunately, whether it was the Iron Tooth Rat or the Ironback Centipede, the Dao Runes required for evolution were a considerable number, and these 230 Dao Runes were far from enough.

"Once the Skin Refining stage is complete, it won't be so easy to improve rapidly again."

Gu Yuan began to pack his things and then left the valley with Ah Huang:

"Moreover, next, I should go back and deal with some troubles."

During this period, although he spent most of his time practicing, he also paid attention to some things.

For example, Dong Gui and Sun Er had been under Gu Yuan's surveillance.

And just last night, someone from the county came and went directly to Dong Gui's house.

Dong Gui was just an ordinary hooligan, and he had been recuperating at home recently. What kind of people in the county could he know?

Obviously, the person from the county was from the Qian family!

It was not surprising to think about it. Dong Gui and Sun Er were originally pawns casually placed by Butler Wu of the Qian family, tools specially used to keep an eye on Gu Yuan.

However, since Gu Yuan broke their hands and feet, these two guys could only recuperate at home.

With Gu Yuan's previous threat, coupled with their serious injuries, they were constantly suffering from the pain of disability, and under Gu Yuan's surveillance, they had not dared to take any action.

However, although the two did not dare to report Gu Yuan, Wu Butler must have noticed the abnormality since the two had not shown up for a long time, so it was not surprising that he sent someone.

When he returned to Gu's Village, a seven- or eight-year-old child was waiting at the entrance of the village. Seeing Gu Yuan, his eyes lit up and he quickly greeted him: "Brother Yuan."

"It's Ah Zhong, what's wrong?"

Seeing the child's strange expression, Gu Yuan asked.

This child was Sun Zhong, the son of Widow Sun.

Since Gu's mother lent food to the mother and son last time, perhaps to repay the kindness, Widow Sun often brought her son to Gu Yuan's house to help with some things within their ability.

Over time, this somewhat introverted child became familiar with Gu Yuan.

Especially after Gu Yuan often gave him some food, Sun Zhong's goodwill towards Gu Yuan greatly increased, and he took the initiative to become Gu Yuan's eyes and ears, keeping an eye on Dong Gui and Sun Er whenever he had time.

"Brother Yuan, someone went to your house just now."

Sun Zhong said quickly.

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "How many people, male or female?"

Sun Zhong scratched his head and thought for a while, answering: "There were three people in total, all male, two young ones, and an old man in brocade clothes."

"Okay, I know."

Gu Yuan didn't say much and went straight home.

When he returned home, he saw many people watching the excitement outside the wall. Seeing Gu Yuan coming back, they quickly started talking:

"Ah Yuan, go home and take a look, someone has come to your house!"

"Yes, I heard it's a master from a wealthy family in the county. Alas, they look really impressive, they are just different from us country folks."

"These people aren't here to find Ah Yuan, are they?"

"Nonsense, they've come to his house, who else could they be looking for if not Ah Yuan?"

Someone slapped his head and suddenly realized: "I remember, that's Butler Wu from the Qian family! He came once before."

"Could it be that he's here to make trouble for Ah Yuan this time?"

As soon as this was said, the neighbors, who had been talking and making a commotion, suddenly fell silent, and the way they looked at Gu Yuan became a little strange.

There was sympathy, pity, and gloating.

A few people even took several steps back, as if afraid of being contaminated with something dirty.

In their opinion, Gu Yuan had offended the Qian family before, and now that they had come to his door, they might be here to make trouble. What if they were implicated if they acted too close to Gu Yuan?

"Ah Yuan, you."

On the other hand, Widow Sun and her son looked at Gu Yuan with some worry, hesitating to speak.

Gu Yuan glanced at these people indifferently, not interested in saying a word.

He nodded slightly to Widow Sun and her son, and then walked into the yard.
