Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

"Old Wu, this kid is just a medicine gatherer for Jade Cauldron Pavilion now, but in the end, he's just a lucky country bumpkin. Aren't you giving him too much credit by apologizing to him like that?!"

After the three of them left Gu's Village, a subordinate leaned in close and couldn't help but say.

He twisted his neck, making a crisp "crack, crack" sound, revealing a sinister smile: "Actually, you only need to give the order, and tonight I can twist his neck and kill his whole family, guaranteeing a complete resolution to this matter!"

"Do you think I don't understand these things?"

Steward Wu glanced at him indifferently, seeing through his thoughts. He simply wanted to curry favor with Young Master Yun Jie and show his own value, but he didn't expose him, only saying:

"Of course, this boy must die, but he has already completed the Skin Refining stage and is a genuine martial artist. With just you, I'm afraid you can't take him down."

"Martial artist?"

The subordinate looked astonished: "How is that possible? Didn't he just start practicing martial arts?"

"Perhaps he learned from someone before, or perhaps he has other opportunities."

Steward Wu didn't care much. A mere martial artist who had completed the Skin Refining stage was nothing in his eyes, he only said:

"As for today's matter, you don't need to worry about it. Someone else will naturally take care of it later. What you two need to do is control your mouths, otherwise, if any news gets out, even if I don't say it, you know the consequences."

"Yes!"

Although Steward Wu's tone was calm, the two of them trembled and agreed repeatedly, not daring to have any objections.

Thinking of Gu Yuan just now, Steward Wu revealed a hint of a strange look in his eyes.

In fact, yesterday, after learning that Gu Yuan had crippled the hands and feet of Dong Gui and Sun Er, his first reaction was that this matter was out of his control!

Originally, he was just the son of a farmer from the countryside, something like an ant. He hadn't really taken it to heart, nor did he think that this boy could make any waves.

Just in case, he had only casually assigned two ruffians to secretly monitor him, and he hadn't paid much attention to it.

As for his young master, Qian Yun Jie, he had long forgotten about such a trivial matter.

Who would have thought that in just over a month, this kid had actually stirred up some trouble.

When he inquired about this boy's actions during this period and saw Gu Yuan with his own eyes today, he realized that Gu Yuan was not a peaceful person.

Would a peaceful person practice martial arts? Would he join the Jade Cauldron Pavilion and become a medicine gatherer?

Practicing martial arts meant wanting to gain power, and with power, in the eyes of people like them, it was an unstable factor!

Under normal circumstances, these superiors would often choose to control him.

However, Gu Yuan had a great feud with the Qian family and was quite patient, so it would be difficult to control him.

In that case, it would be better to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

Steward Wu understood these things very clearly and thoroughly.

As for why he had already planned to kill Gu Yuan, but still gave Gu Yuan a good sword and fifty taels of silver just now...

Heh heh, the Qian family was, after all, a powerful and influential family in the county. They still had to put on a show.

Look, someone of my status has already apologized to a poor country bumpkin. Isn't that enough to elevate him and look up to him?

Under these circumstances, who would dare to say that our Qian family bullies others with power?!

What, he's dead?

Whether he lives or dies is his own bad luck, and has nothing to do with our Qian family. I have already apologized before.

Who would believe it if you said it was done by our Qian family?

Who would dare to believe it?!

"A Yuan, what... what exactly is going on?"

In the Gu family, Gu's father and Gu's mother were still a little dazed.

Steward Wu, who had been aloof and arrogant before, actually came to apologize to them today, and even gave them so much money with a smile. This made the two of them confused and a little bewildered.

"Naturally, it's because my status is different. I am now a medicine gatherer for Jade Cauldron Pavilion."

Gu Yuan shook his head and quickly explained the matter simply, and then said:

"Also, Dad, Mom, this money is a disaster if you keep it at home. It will only attract trouble. I should take it."

"A Yuan."

Gu's mother ignored the shiny silver and looked at Gu Yuan with some worry:

"I'm just a woman and don't understand great principles, but I know that these wealthy families are not easy to deal with. We are a small family, but they are giving us so many benefits. This may not be a good thing. You must be careful!"

Gu Yuan looked at his mother and was surprised that his mother was so clear-headed. Then, he comforted her: "Don't worry, Mom, I know what I'm doing."

Saying that, he picked up the sword.

This sword was more than three feet long, with a gray-green ironwood scabbard, and some gorgeous patterns were outlined on it.

Clang—

A section of snow-bright sword body was unsheathed, reflecting Gu Yuan's delicate face, and even the fine hairs on his face were clearly visible.

The thin and sharp blade faintly exuded a sharp aura.

"Good sword!"

Clang!

Gu Yuan closed the scabbard again.

Next, he needed to practice the "Serpent Sword Technique", and this sword would be just right for him.

If Gu Yuan were to buy it himself, he might not be able to buy such a good thing.

As for the Qian family, although they took the initiative to come and apologize today, as his mother said, the other party was actually like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken—with ill intentions.

Gu Yuan was well aware of this.

Although his status was different now and he had become a medicine gatherer for Jade Cauldron Pavilion, Gu Yuan didn't think that he, a mere medicine gatherer, was so great that he could make a deeply rooted and powerful local tyrant like the Qian family bow their heads.

This matter itself was a bit strange!

Therefore, seizing the time to improve his strength was the key!

If his strength was sufficient, no matter what conspiracies and schemes the other party had, he could solve them with a sword!

As for how to quickly improve his strength in a short period of time, Gu Yuan already had a plan for this.

He planned to tame a snake as a spirit pet!

Gu Yuan was very clear about one thing: his foundation, as well as the most core and important secret, was the Spirit Pet Game System.

And one of the most important functions of the Spirit Pet System was to add the talent of the tamed spirit pet to him, the master.

By chance, he obtained the "Golden Serpent Devouring Yuan Skill" and the "Serpent Sword Technique".

One of these two cultivation methods was an internal martial art, and the other was an attacking sword technique, but they had one thing in common, that was, they were both created by predecessors who observed "spirit snakes".

If Gu Yuan could tame a snake, obtain its snake talent blessing, and have a snake pet observe its characteristics and capture its aura from time to time, perhaps he could fit these two martial arts, thereby making rapid progress!

Of course, the talents of each snake are different, and Gu Yuan plans to carefully select a suitable snake before taming it.
