Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Martial artists are all big eaters, each with a larger appetite than the last.

Because their Qi and blood are vigorous, their physiques are strong, and their bodies require more nutrients.

The foundation of martial arts actually lies in the word "eat."

Sheep eat grass, tigers eat meat.

Ordinary people eat grains and meat, but these martial artists not only eat more, but also need to eat better!

This medicinal cuisine is a common meal for disciples of those great and powerful sects.

For example, the Astragalus and Pigeon Soup that Gu Yuan had eaten before was one such dish, capable of nourishing vitality and strengthening the foundation.

It is said that some more advanced cultivators eat spiritual grains and elixirs.

And some beings even absorb the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to achieve immortality!

Gu Yuan had read about these things in a miscellaneous book.

Yang Jianfei's treatment in terms of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation was obviously much better than Gu Yuan and the others.

"Damn it, we're eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, but this kid is eating and drinking well every day. What merits does this kid have!"

Zhou Zhong fiercely tore off a piece of pancake and chewed it in his mouth, as if he were biting Yang Jianfei's flesh.

Gu Yuan found it a little funny, but he could also understand why Zhou Zhong was so resentful.

People are often more concerned about inequality than scarcity.

As fellow medicine gatherers, Xia Xiuxue was an exception, after all, her father was the Pavilion Master of Jade Cauldron Tower, and she was a woman, which was inconvenient, so someone took care of her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation during this trip, and no one dared to have any objections.

But Yang Jianfei was different.

He and Gu Yuan were both hired medicine gatherers, but he didn't have as strong a background as Xia Xiuxue, he was just Yang Han's nephew.

Under such circumstances, Gu Yuan and the others were working themselves to death walking, but he not only had a horse to ride, but also enjoyed much better treatment than Gu Yuan and the others. He was arrogant and looked down on Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong, and others, and even deliberately targeted Zhou Zhong several times.

How could Zhou Zhong accept this?

Even Gu Yuan had some opinions about this guy, but he just didn't show it.

Gu Yuan gnawed on the pancake and glanced at Yang Jianfei, who was showing great courtesy to Xia Xiuxue. Then, his gaze shifted and fell on a plain-looking middle-aged guard not far away. After lingering for a moment, he quickly moved his gaze away.

In the past few days, he had also noticed something wrong with one of the dozen or so guards.

To be precise, it was A'Huang who accidentally discovered it.

Animals have a much higher perception in some aspects than humans.

From the emotions conveyed by A'Huang, Gu Yuan discovered that A'Huang actually had a trace of fear towards this middle-aged guard.

This was very abnormal!

A'Huang was an Iron Tooth Rat, a mutant rat that fed on metal. Even Yang Han could only make it feel a little fear at most.

The fact that it could feel fear meant that this guard gave A'Huang a more terrifying feeling than Yang Han!

It should be known that Yang Han had already completed his Bone Refinement and was a peak martial artist, a top expert in Beiliang County.

More terrifying than a peak martial artist, what did this mean?

Innate martial artist?

Or other reasons?

Gu Yuan had also suspected that this person might have another identity and might not have been arranged by Jade Cauldron Tower, but in his observation, he saw this mysterious guard exchanging glances with Yang Han several times, so he rejected this guess.

With this discovery, Gu Yuan was quite glad that he had the foresight to bring A'Huang and A'Wu out this time.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he would really lack confidence if he encountered danger.

Of course, Gu Yuan was not stupid enough to reveal this discovery. On the surface, he still pretended not to know anything and did what he was supposed to do.

"Since there is such a dangerous person hidden in the convoy, does this mean that Yang Han and even Jade Cauldron Tower are guarding against some unknown danger?!"

At this thought, Gu Yuan felt somewhat uneasy.

His eyes flickered: "It seems that I have to find a way to tame a snake when I get to Qingliu Town tomorrow."

Zhou Zhong had just mentioned that there were many poisonous insects and beasts near Qingliu Town.

Gu Yuan secretly remembered this in his heart, intending to see if he could find a snake that suited his liking as a spiritual pet in Qingliu Town.

Since this mission was fraught with great danger, if he could tame a snake and obtain its talent blessing, he might be able to further enhance his strength.

Putting aside everything else, at least if he could have a snake for Gu Yuan to observe, it would definitely be of great benefit to his cultivation of the "Golden Snake Devouring Yuan Skill" and the "Spirit Snake Sword Technique."

If he could find a snake whose talent was quite compatible with these two martial arts, the benefits would obviously be even greater!

After eating and drinking his fill, Gu Yuan found a place in the temporary shed and fell into a deep sleep, hugging his long sword and package.

Gu Yuan slept soundly and peacefully.

Because at this time, A'Huang took advantage of the dark night to come to his side and hid in his package.

Any slight movement would promptly alert him.

Nothing happened overnight.

By the afternoon of the next day, the caravan finally arrived at Qingliu Town.

Then, under the leadership of the team leader, they stopped in the backyard of an inn. The crowd had been traveling all the way and were a little exhausted.

Even Xia Xiuxue was the same. No matter how good the carriage was, it was not as comfortable as sleeping in an inn.

After a short rest, it was soon evening.

"The convoy will depart at Si hour on the morning of the day after tomorrow, so now you can leave the caravan and do your own things."

After eating, Yang Han waved his hand, indicating that Gu Yuan, Zhou Zhong, and the others could move freely:

"But you must return before Chen hour on the morning of the day after tomorrow, understand?"

"Don't worry, sir, we understand!"

Gu Yuan and the others naturally responded in unison.

When he returned to the room arranged by the inn, Gu Yuan had a guess in his heart:

"This Yang Han deliberately dismissed me, Zhou Zhong, and Guo Jin, he must be going to do something that he doesn't want us to see."

"But Yang Jianfei and Xia Xiuxue, it seems that they should know something."

Early in the morning, just after eating breakfast, Zhou Zhong rushed over excitedly, his eyebrows dancing:

"Brother Gu, I know a good place in this town, I guarantee that you will want to go there a second time after going there for the first time. You are young and must not have been there before, let's go, I'll take you to broaden your horizons!"

He winked at Gu Yuan, his usually rough and slightly simple face revealing a bit of lewdness and greasiness.

"."

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand and refused directly:

"Forget it, I have something to do, you should go by yourself."

"You're not going? Okay, I guarantee you'll regret it."

Zhou Zhong shook his head slightly, then suddenly froze for a moment, realizing something was wrong: "Wait, do you know what I mean?"

Just kidding, I had a Cadillac back then, and I've been to all the foot massage parlors and clubs in the city, how could I not know what you mean... Gu Yuan sneered in his heart, pretending to be puzzled on the surface: "Don't you want to treat me to a drink?"

"Tch! Drinking is nothing, what I'm talking about is more than drinking..."

At this moment, Xia Xiuxue passed by not far away, her figure graceful, and a faint fragrance filled the air wherever she went.

Zhou Zhong's voice stopped abruptly, and he said without changing his expression: "Okay, I admit, I was planning to treat you to a drink, but since you don't have time, then forget it."

"It doesn't matter, then next time."

Gu Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Remember, Lao Zhou, you owe me a drink."

Ignoring Zhou Zhong, who was stunned in place, he went straight out of the inn.
