Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

As for this "Rakshasa Sutra," he now treats it as a backup. Only if he really can't find a suitable introductory cultivation method might Gu Yuan consider practicing this Taoist book.

......

Beiliang City, being a small place, often has rather limited information.

But no matter how limited the information, a major event like someone slaying a demon would quickly spread and alarm some people.

"What! Gu Yuan killed a wolf demon? Has he become an Innate Martial Master? That's impossible, right?!"

At Jade Pavilion, Xia Xiuxue was somewhat bewildered upon receiving the news.

Her first reaction was disbelief.

Having practiced martial arts since childhood, she naturally knew how difficult it was to advance to become an Innate Martial Master.

Moreover, regardless of Gu Yuan's age, how long has he been involved in cultivation? Only three months. How could he suddenly become an Innate Martial Master?

However, when her gaze met the calm look in her father Xia Mingyang's eyes, she couldn't say the remaining words.

She knew very well that her father never lied about such things, so this matter must be true.

"Innate is all… what's impossible about it?"

Xia Mingyang seemed to see what she was thinking and said lightly, "The world is vast, and there's no shortage of wonders."

"In this world, there are even ways to ascend to the heavens in one step and forge a Golden Core, let alone just becoming Innate?"

"However, this young man does have some opportunities after all, so we can no longer look at him with our previous perspective. Moreover, with the Immortal Palace about to open, Beiliang City and even Shengyang Prefecture are becoming increasingly chaotic, which is precisely when we need people."

Mentioning the words "Immortal Palace," a hint of fervor flashed in Xia Mingyang's eyes. He pondered for a moment, then tapped the table and said:

"Like this, in a moment, you go to the warehouse on the second floor and take a bottle of Yellow Millet Pills and a Tiger Bone Marrow Nourishing Pill, and personally deliver them to Gu Yuan. Tell him that this is a congratulatory gift from me for his advancement to Innate. I believe he will understand my meaning. Remember, be respectful in your attitude."

"Yes!"

Xia Xiuxue responded with a complex expression.

However, when Xia Xiuxue arrived at the depths of Changgong Lane and knocked on the courtyard door, it was not Gu Yuan who opened the door, but his parents.

Moreover, Gu Yuan seemed to have anticipated that someone would come looking for him and had already left a message.

He said that he had gone out to handle some matters and would return in a few days.

Hearing this, Xia Xiuxue felt both surprised and disappointed.

Besides Xia Xiuxue, some wealthy and influential families in the city, upon learning that a young Innate Martial Master lived in this alley, also sent people to visit and bring generous gifts.

An Innate Martial Master, for many people, is a kind of martial deterrence.

Such a person, regardless of their previous status, is worth befriending.

It's just that these people, like Xia Xiuxue, came away empty-handed.

......

Beiliang City, inside a bookstore.

A tall and slender man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a stern face, and a sharp gaze was flipping through books on the shelves.

He also wore a sword at his waist.

He seemed to be looking for something.

However, because he was flipping through the books too quickly, some of the ancient books that were not properly preserved inevitably suffered some damage, which made the bookstore owner beside him hesitate to speak.

But because the other party seemed very difficult to provoke, he dared not speak.

What ordinary people could not see was that lines of small characters popped up from time to time in front of the black-clothed man:

[Dao Charm Points +15!]

[Dao Charm Points +26!]

[Dao Charm Points +9!]

[Dao Charm Points +57!]

......

The black-clothed man was naturally Gu Yuan.

However, his current appearance was not his own, but Yan Shisan's.

After wandering around the bookstore, Gu Yuan left a piece of silver and left resolutely, ignoring the bookstore owner's surprised thanks.

"These Dao Charm Points are really difficult to collect. I've already visited all the bookstores, pawnshops, and antique shops in Beiliang City, and I've only collected more than seven thousand Dao Charms…"

On the street, Gu Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless.

Over the past two days, he had collected a total of more than seven thousand Dao Charms.

Adding his original one thousand plus, that made for more than nine thousand Dao Charms.

These Dao Charms were enough to replenish the origin of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg and hatch it.

However, the woman surnamed Qin had promised that the reward afterward would be an Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg.

In this way, to continuously hatch two Azure Shadow Sword Butterflies, these nine thousand Dao Charm Points would naturally not be enough.

Moreover, Dao Charm Points are a case of the more the better for Gu Yuan.

Putting aside everything else, Ao Da looked like he was about to become a mature body, and upgrading would also require Dao Charm Points.

And now that he had advanced to Innate, Gu Yuan had one more spirit pet slot.

When he encountered a suitable spirit pet in the future, if it was a situation similar to the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg, he would also need a large number of Dao Charm Points to hatch and upgrade it.

Therefore, Gu Yuan thought about it and decided to continue searching for Dao Charms in other places.

His target was set on the surrounding counties.

......

Rumble!

Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and it looked like it was about to rain.

This was the first rain since the beginning of spring.

Looking at the blowing wind and the thick dark clouds, this rain was obviously not small.

At this time, it was already dusk.

In the desolate mountains and wilderness, beside a small path, an abandoned Taoist temple stood in the wind and rain.

And inside the Taoist temple, a faint gleam of fire appeared.

Clearly, someone had lit a bonfire inside.

......

This Taoist temple had obviously been abandoned for a long time. Not only were the doors and windows old and dilapidated, but some places had also decayed, as if they would fall apart with a gust of wind.

The walls on all sides were somewhat drafty, and even a hole had appeared in the roof.

A statue of a deity placed in the center should be a nameless Taoist, but its head was also missing, making it somewhat eerie under the flickering firelight.

"Although this Taoist temple has been abandoned for a long time, it is said that more than a hundred years ago, a master once built a hut here to cultivate. I don't know if it's true or false…"

Gu Yuan didn't care about these things. He reached out and touched various places in the abandoned Taoist temple, and lines of small characters appeared one after another before his eyes:

[Dao Charm Points +64!]

[Dao Charm Points +82!]

[Dao Charm Points +9!]

[Dao Charm Points +91!]

[Dao Charm Points +1592!]

Until the end, when his palm touched the nameless Taoist statue, the number 1592 that popped up made his eyelids twitch and he was quite shocked:

"Good fellow, so many Dao Charms… Could it be that a master really cultivated here before?"

Thinking this way, while Gu Yuan searched for Dao Charm Points, he also took the opportunity to search again, intending to see if he could find any treasures.

But unfortunately, after searching for a long time, there wasn't a single treasure, but there were a lot of Dao Charm Points.

Even the headless statue, Gu Yuan looked inside through the cracks on it, but there were no hidden treasures inside, just a dilapidated statue.

In any case, having harvested so many Dao Charm Points, it could be considered that he hadn't made a trip in vain.

Having been out for more than ten days, today was the easiest day to harvest Dao Charm Points.

Now that it was raining outside and the sky was getting dark, Gu Yuan simply prepared to spend the night in this Taoist temple and head back to Beiliang City tomorrow.

These days, he had wandered around several surrounding counties and gained a lot.

He had accumulated a full forty thousand Dao Charm Points.

These Dao Charm Points were enough for him to use in the short term.

However, he also encountered two demons during this time, but they weren't powerful demons and were conveniently killed by Gu Yuan.

Taking out a piece of meat, Gu Yuan skewered it and placed it beside the fire to roast.

The meat of demons contained rich nutrients, although not as mild as spiritual medicine, it made little difference to him.

"Hmm?"

Just at this moment, Gu Yuan's ears twitched, and he suddenly looked towards the door, because he heard some footsteps and voices coming from outside.
