Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Chapter 29: Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill!

Mother Gu had always adhered to the principle of being kind to others. Even when the family was poor, she often helped the surrounding neighbors.

But before, when Gu Yuan was severely injured by a vicious dog and bedridden, his parents spent all their savings to treat his injuries, so they went to borrow food from the surrounding neighbors.

As a result, the old couple begged and pleaded, but in the end, they were left with no way out and couldn't borrow even a grain of food.

Moreover, when borrowing food, most people closed their doors and were too lazy to pay attention to the old couple. Even worse, some people spoke coldly, sharp and mean.

This situation was truly disheartening.

When the Gu family was in a slump, these people hid far away, afraid of being associated with the family of three. Now that the Gu family is rich, these people smelled the scent and came to join in the fun, showing smiling faces and wanting to take advantage.

How could there be such a good thing in this world?

Beiliang County, Jade Cauldron Tower.

"Brother Gu, long time no see."

Gu Yuan had just entered the hall when he ran into a man who greeted him directly upon seeing him.

This man was burly, with a broad back and a thick waist. He also had a sharp axe hanging from his waist. His rugged face, coupled with a dense beard, gave him the air of a highway robber.

"Huh?"

The man seemed to notice something, looked him up and down for a moment, and said in surprise:

"Looking at you, brother, it's clear that your cultivation has greatly improved."

"To be honest, brother, I have indeed made some progress recently."

Gu Yuan nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that the little savings I managed to accumulate have been completely spent during this time. Now I'm a pauper again."

The man before him was named Zhou Zhong. He came from a family of hunters. He accidentally found a spiritual herb in the mountains and sold it to the Jade Cauldron Tower. Thus, like Gu Yuan, he became a herb gatherer.

However, Zhou Zhong was more experienced and had been a herb gatherer for several years.

In short, this Zhou Zhong could be regarded as Gu Yuan's "colleague."

During this period, Gu Yuan often came to the Jade Cauldron Tower to buy medicinal pigeons and borrow books, so he got to know a few people, and this Zhou Zhong was one of them. He was a pretty good person.

"Haha, we martial artists rely on strength to make a living. If our strength improves, isn't it easy to make money?"

Zhou Zhong patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder and sighed, "You kid just started practicing martial arts, so it's normal to improve faster. Unlike me, alas, it's been more than a year, and I'm still stuck in the Tendon Refining stage, without any signs of breakthrough."

"If I had a Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill, I would definitely achieve great success in Tendon Refining. By then, I would be a big shot in Beiliang County, no matter how small."

Mentioning the Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill, Zhou Zhong's expression became complicated: "It's a pity that such a treasure as the Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill costs more than five hundred taels of silver, and also requires two hundred contribution points. I couldn't afford it even if you chopped me up and sold me."

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly.

The Jade Cauldron Tower's business scope includes the acquisition of various aged medicinal herbs, and even spiritual herbs, as well as the sale of various medicines for healing injuries, detoxification, strengthening muscles and bones, and for martial artists to cultivate. There are even miraculous elixirs!

During this period, the medicinal diet Yellow Essence Pigeon Soup he stewed, used medicinal pigeons purchased from the Jade Cauldron Tower, which had the effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the origin, and was extremely nourishing, costing one tael of silver per pigeon.

One pigeon sells for one tael of silver. Gu Yuan wouldn't have dared to imagine such a thing before!

Adding up all the other expenses, Gu Yuan's savings had been spent more than half in less than a month, totaling almost two hundred taels of silver.

And this kind of medicinal pigeon is just one of the most common items sold in the Jade Cauldron Tower.

The Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill mentioned by Zhou Zhong is one of the more famous elixirs in the Jade Cauldron Tower. Its main ingredient is the placenta of an exotic mountain leopard. After being taken from the mother leopard's womb, it is specially prepared, refined to extract the essence, and then combined with various precious spiritual herbs to refine the elixir.

Its effect is to cleanse the muscles and tendons, making the large tendons of the whole body tough, strong, and powerful, and the physique will become even more tyrannical!

In other words, this Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill is a special elixir for the Tendon Refining stage.

In addition to the Leopard Fetus Marrow Cleansing Pill, there are also the Qingfeng Jade Dew Paste, Tiger Bone Marrow Nourishing Pill, Blood Velvet Body Nourishing Pill, etc., all of which are elixirs with various effects.

If the quantity is sufficient, it can completely enable a person to have smooth sailing and rapid progress in martial arts cultivation.

But still, these elixirs and miraculous medicines are too expensive. If their herb gatherers want to buy them, they not only need silver, but also enough contribution points.

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Then I wish Brother Zhou an early breakthrough and that all his wishes come true."

"Haha, you're still good with words, Brother Gu."

Zhou Zhong smiled upon hearing this, then deliberately lowered his voice and said: "By the way, brother, aren't you short of money? Now there's a good opportunity!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that, brother?"

Gu Yuan seemed a little interested, but a hint of vigilance arose in his heart.

He never believed in good things that fall from the sky, especially when the other party is not familiar with him.

Whenever a pie falls on his head, he would only suspect whether this pie is poisonous or whether it is bait deliberately thrown out to fish.

"It's been almost a month since you became a herb gatherer, right? So far, haven't you done any tasks yet?"

Zhou Zhong mysteriously said, "The good opportunity I'm talking about is this task."

"Task?"

Gu Yuan suddenly understood:

"I see."

Any organization or force, once involved, must bear certain responsibilities and obligations while enjoying protection and various benefits.

The Jade Cauldron Tower is no exception.

According to the rules of the Jade Cauldron Tower, herb gatherers like Gu Yuan need to complete at least one task every month, and this task is mandatory. Whether it is completed or not is secondary, but it is absolutely not allowed to refuse, otherwise, the identity of the herb gatherer will be revoked.

Of course, every task, as long as it is completed, will receive a certain number of contribution points and other rewards.

Not to mention other rewards, these contribution points can be used to exchange for some martial arts techniques, elixirs, and other things, which are good things that all herb gatherers dream of.

For more than twenty days, Gu Yuan has been wholeheartedly practicing the 'Golden Snake Swallowing Yuan Skill', and even his job as a 'herb gatherer' has not had time to do.

Gathering herbs is fine, although there are certain requirements every month, at least it is not mandatory.

At worst, Gu Yuan can gather more herbs in the mountains for a period of time.

But the only thing Gu Yuan absolutely cannot refuse is the monthly task.

This time, Gu Yuan originally planned to receive the task.

However, now Gu Yuan has a question.

He wondered:

"But I've only been a herb gatherer for a month, and my strength is very weak. Even if there is a good task, it shouldn't be my turn as a newcomer, right? Also, how would you know about these things?"
