Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

“Middle-grade martial arts?”

Xia Xiuxue was clearly a little surprised, but not particularly shocked. After all, she herself cultivated a superior martial art.

She just found it a little strange that Gu Yuan could obtain a middle-grade martial art given his status.

She nodded lightly, “This martial art should not be recorded in the Martial Arts Pavilion. According to the rules, you can exchange it for other middle-grade martial arts in the warehouse, or you can exchange it for contribution points. Of course, if you agree, this martial art cannot be passed on to others in the future.”

“Of course.”

Gu Yuan nodded, then curiously asked, “Then how many contribution points can this ‘Black Tiger Fist’ be exchanged for?”

“Five hundred contribution points.”

Xia Xiuxue gave the answer.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, “What about the inferior martial art that I am going to choose next?”

“One hundred contribution points.”

Xia Xiuxue said.

Gu Yuan continued to ask, “How many contribution points are needed for a superior martial art?”

Xia Xiuxue's expression was strange, but she still gave the answer, “Five thousand contribution points.”

Five thousand contribution points… Gu Yuan couldn't help but be surprised:

“Good heavens, is the gap between middle-grade and superior martial arts that big?”

He had worked hard on this mission for nearly ten days, encountering dangers along the way, and only earned twenty contribution points.

To accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for a superior martial art, how long would he have to save?

Now, Gu Yuan finally deeply realized the control and monopoly of major forces like Yuding Pavilion over the channels and resources for martial arts inheritance.

Although he is now a member of Yuding Pavilion, and the rules seem relaxed and relatively free, as long as he wants to improve and obtain something, he will inevitably be subject to strict restrictions and difficult constraints!

If he wants to obtain a superior martial art, he will have to be driven and exploited by Yuding Pavilion countless times before he can get it.

“What did you think?!”

Xia Xiuxue couldn't help but retort, “Middle-grade martial arts can at most allow people to cultivate to the Acquired Viscera Refining Realm, and do not have the methods of marrow cleansing and blood exchange, but superior martial arts directly point to the peak of the Acquired Martial Master, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent Celestial Realm. How precious is this inheritance?”

“Moreover, even if you collect five thousand contribution points, it's not enough. You have to get my father's approval before you can be taught.”

“As for top-grade martial arts, these martial arts are only available in Yuding Pavilions in prefectural and state capitals, and even contain methods for foundation establishment and Dao entry, which are even more valuable.”

“Then can I take a look at the superior martial arts in our pavilion first?”

Gu Yuan blinked and put forward his idea.

“You can.”

Xia Xiuxue glanced at him and agreed.

Then, she led Gu Yuan to another corner.

Here, there was a slightly smaller bookshelf.

The material of the bookshelf was made of a special wood called Luoxiang wood, which emits a faint fragrance and has the effect of repelling insects and calming the mind.

On the bookshelf, there were only a few wooden boxes.

There were labels on them, with brief introductions.

《Purple Qi Heavenly Net Skill》: A superior internal refining martial art that absorbs the purple qi of the morning sun to temper the internal organs, can refine a pure Yang energy, is neutral and peaceful, can prolong life, and can subsequently undertake many Dao entry methods.

《Three Yin Centipede Claw》: A supreme Yin and poisonous attacking martial art, also a poisonous skill. When cultivated to great success, it can shatter gold and iron, corrode the heart and erode bones, and is amazingly lethal!

《Mystic Tortoise Armor Concealment Skill》: A horizontal refining martial art, created by imitating the ancient spirit beast Xuanwu. When cultivated to great success, it is like wearing Xuanwu's armor, invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and possesses Xuanwu's tremendous strength!

《Mad Demon Staff Technique》: A staff technique created by a Buddhist master...

One superior skill after another, and the detailed introductions above, made Gu Yuan's eyes burn with eagerness, wishing he could open all these boxes and take them into his arms.

Especially the 《Purple Qi Heavenly Net Skill》 that prolongs life, and the horizontal refining martial art 《Mystic Tortoise Armor Concealment Skill》.

The former can prolong life, and can continue to cultivate other Dao entry methods.

The latter is a horizontal refining martial art, which can give people a strong physique that is invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and can also possess the power of Xuanwu. It is definitely a first-class life-saving martial art!

The key is the latter!

When Gu Yuan was practicing 《Golden Snake Devouring Yuan Skill》 and 《Spirit Snake Sword Technique》, he tamed the Big Mouth Snake with the spirit pet system, and then he obtained the Snake Coil talent, so these two martial arts progressed rapidly.

Not only is the 《Spirit Snake Sword Technique》 almost complete, but also the cultivation of 《Golden Snake Devouring Yuan Skill》 is much faster than normal step-by-step cultivation.

This made Gu Yuan taste the sweetness.

He also realized that this is his advantage!

If he gets this 《Mystic Tortoise Armor Concealment Skill》, and then tames a tortoise, and gets its talent blessing, wouldn't he be taking off?

It can be said that among the six or seven superior martial arts in front of him, only the 《Mystic Tortoise Armor Concealment Skill》, a horizontal refining martial art created by imitating the ancient spirit beast Xuanwu, is the most suitable for him!

Even, Gu Yuan had an idea!

Although snakes and turtles are two completely different species, the combination of turtles and snakes is Xuanwu, which is a divine beast with the characteristics of both turtles and snakes!

Gu Yuan's 《Golden Snake Devouring Yuan Skill》 represents the golden snake, and 《Mystic Tortoise Armor Concealment Skill》 represents the Xuanwu.

In this way, one is internal refining and the other is horizontal refining, one snake and one turtle, combining both strength and flexibility, maybe they can complement each other, and even build the most stable and solid foundation for him, and prepare adequately for future promotion to the Celestial Realm.

“Besides exchanging with contribution points, are there any other ways to obtain these superior martial arts?”

Gu Yuan reluctantly moved his gaze away from the wooden box in front of him and looked at Xia Xiuxue.

Meeting Gu Yuan's slightly excited and bright gaze, Xia Xiuxue shook her head and snorted softly, “No, you should just give up on that idea.”

“Okay.”

Gu Yuan shrugged, seemingly not caring, and said directly, “Then I'll exchange for a middle-grade martial art. As for the inferior martial art, I'll just exchange it for a 《Willow Floss Sword Technique》.”

Although 《Willow Floss Sword Technique》 was not created by imitating spirit beasts, it is still a sword technique, and comprehending it will also be beneficial to him.

Not long after, Gu Yuan began to search on another bookshelf belonging to middle-grade martial arts, while silently fleecing the sheep of Yuding Pavilion and gaining some Dao rhyme points.

“Eh?”

Finally, he found a 《Wandering Snake Steps》 in a corner of the bookshelf with a little surprise.

“It's it!”

After a rough look, Gu Yuan decisively confirmed it.

This 《Wandering Snake Steps》 was created by predecessors imitating snakes, and it is also a middle-grade lightness skill martial art, which can make people's body agile, steps sensitive, and most importantly, fast.

For Gu Yuan, it is a surprise, at least it can let him get started quickly.

What is the most important martial art when traveling the world?

Some people say it is internal refining martial art that strengthens the body.

Some people say it is horizontal refining martial art that focuses on defense and is invulnerable to swords and spears.

Some people also say it is a fierce and ruthless knife technique or sword technique.

Some people even say it is medical skills, after all, poison and medicine are inseparable, which can both cure diseases and save lives, and poison and kill people.

But in Gu Yuan's view, running fast is the most important!

At least, when encountering danger, running faster means a greater chance of survival.
