Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 377 - 376: Cyan Lotus Seed Exposed!

Venerable Black Dragon wasn’t angry upon hearing Gu Yuan’s refusal. Instead, he nodded approvingly: "Hmm, that’s reasonable."

"Although I’m not sure exactly what this item is, I can affirm that it’s a rather special kind of Spirit Root or Spirit Medicine Seed. It contains a lot of innate vitality and even Innate Primordial Qi. Such an item, if well-cultivated, indeed holds immense potential."

The Venerable Black Dragon spoke calmly: "Since you are unwilling, I shall not force you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Venerable."

Gu Yuan bowed once more.

In his heart, he understood that it was largely thanks to his current status, after all, he’s one of his own group.

If he were an outsider, the Venerable Black Dragon wouldn’t be so easy to converse with.

However, Gu Yuan was a bit puzzled. He kept the Creation Cyan Lotus Seed well-hidden, and the Primordial True Water Scripture itself has functions of concealment and restraint.

Once hidden within his Life Spring and submerged by the spring’s water.

In addition, with him fully restraining his aura, not even the True Monarch Withered Wood noticed anything, how then did the Venerable Black Dragon perceive it?

Bear in mind, that True Monarch Withered Wood practiced pure Wood Dao Techniques, with the most acute sensitivity to Wood Element Primordial Qi and vitality.

If even he couldn’t perceive it, how did the Venerable Black Dragon sense it?

Seeming to understand Gu Yuan’s thoughts, Venerable Black Dragon said indifferently: "Don’t worry, kid. My Innate Divine Techniques are somewhat unique, hence I’m particularly sensitive to the scent of the thing on you. Others won’t detect it."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This was indeed best, otherwise being discovered by everyone he encountered, what if someone had ulterior motives?

This time he was lucky, only spotted by his sect’s elder, but what about next time?

If he met someone with malicious intent thinking about the Creation Cyan Lotus Seed, that would be troubling.

Gu Yuan’s current physique is weak, unable to withstand much turmoil.

Of course, once Gu Yuan forges a Golden Core, his cultivation strength will soar, and he can further refine and sacrifice the seed, possibly preventing any leakage of aura.

Even if formidable characters really harbored wrongful thoughts, with his several Prototypes of Great Divine Techniques and Top-Grade Divine Techniques, except for Yang Spirit experts, even Yin God Giants.

Gu Yuan convinced himself, although he couldn’t win a fight, he could engage for a few rounds, escape should be feasible.

Certainly, even among Yin God Giants, there are differences.

For instance, their sect leader, Daoist Yusheng, undoubtedly a standout among Yin God Giants.

Then there’s Ancestor Huoshang, a Loose Cultivator with limited lifespan and lacking solid foundation and potential as a Yin God Giant.

Though both are Yin Spirits, if it truly came to a fight, the former would easily best the latter,

"If you repent later, if you have any thoughts, feel free to come to see me. I’m always open." Venerable Black Ox seemed not entirely resigned, earnestly advising.

"Yes, Venerable." Gu Yuan naturally answered respectfully.

Venerable Black Dragon’s ears twitched slightly, warding off surrounding bugs, seeming disinterested, lazily said: "Elder Danxia is probably engaged in alchemy now. Once she starts, she forgets things. You can directly knock on the door, or have Qingfeng open it to enter."

Upon finishing, he closed his eyes, pretending to nap, clearly unwilling to converse further with the two.

"Indeed, thank you for the reminder, Venerable. Disciple takes leave!"

He Ling True Master hurriedly made a bow and then led Gu Yuan back to the door.

Gu Yuan glanced at the Daoist Child, finding it amusing indeed.

Because at this moment, this Daoist Child named Qingfeng was still in a half-asleep, half-awake state, swaying, nodding away, almost hilarious.

He Ling True Master gave Gu Yuan a look, and Gu Yuan instantly understood, stepping forward to gently touch Qingfeng Daoist Child’s arm:

"Brother Qingfeng."

"Hmm... huh?!" Qingfeng Daoist Child smacked his lips, seemingly both awake and asleep, suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, he was visibly startled, giving a sudden shiver.

He gathered himself, and only then did the Daoist Child breathe a sigh of relief, wondering: "Esteemed brother, may I ask who you are..."

Gu Yuan spoke amicably with a smile: "I am Gu Yuan. Today, Master He Ling True Master and I came especially to meet with Ancestor Danxia, so I kindly ask you to inform them."

Although this Daoist Child wasn’t even an Innate Martial Master, Gu Yuan dared not underestimate him, nor show any disrespect.

As the saying goes, at the Prime Minister’s door, a Seventh Grade official, though this Qingfeng Daoist Child seemed unimpressive, behind him stood one of the two Yang Spirit masters of the sect.

If word gets out, it could potentially bring him trouble.

Even if Qingfeng Daoist Child himself, once there’s a chance he complains before Ancestor Danxia, it might leave a bad impression in the Ancestor’s heart.

If he offended Ancestor Danxia, Gu Yuan’s future days wouldn’t bode well.

Moreover, despite Qingfeng Daoist Child merely being a Martial Master, it wasn’t hard for Gu Yuan to discern with his eye that, though young, the Daoist Child seemed astute and vibrant, possessing excellent roots for cultivation.

Clearly a promising candidate for Daoist practice!

If he cultivates earnestly, he will surely achieve success, no less than Li Changqing or Niu Youde and the like.

Plus, with Ancestor Danxia backing him, there’s no telling how far he might go in the future.

Qingfeng Daoist Child didn’t mind this, upon hearing "Gu Yuan," his spirit lifted, his eyes brightened: "Gu Yuan? So you are Brother Gu Yuan!"

Regarding Gu Yuan’s reputation, he had naturally heard about it.

Gu Yuan’s renown was substantial, comparable to Li Changsheng’s.

Yet Gu Yuan was not much older than himself, which was the most admirable thing to Qingfeng Daoist Child.

Gu Yuan smiled without replying.

At this point, Qingfeng Daoist Child seemed to realize, saying: "Brother Gu, you’ve come to see Master, right? Okay, I’ll open the door for you right away."

Mutters of grievance followed: "Alas, Master surely just forgot about you all."

Gu Yuan heard this, his eyes gleaming, staying silent.

Yet in his heart, he speculated some possibilities.

Generally speaking, the family faction and the sect lineage, one strong, one weak, are distinct.

But ultimately, in the Cultivation Realm, strength reigns supreme, disciples below might be potent, but the crux lies at the Golden Core and Celestial Human level. At most, there’s some disparity at the Yin Spirit tier.

Importantly, two Yang Spirit masters, Lord Zhuque and Ancestor Danxia, one from the family faction, the other from the sect lineage.

With these two Ancestors overseeing, the two major factions below shouldn’t be vying fiercely.

In this regard, Gu Yuan previously suspected some underlying factors.

Perhaps the two Ancestors are at odds, leading to intense dispute among the two major factions below.
