Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

As he said this, Old Chen stared intently into Gu Yuan's eyes, a hint of madness flickering within: "Gu boy, as long as you help me find him, and tell me where he is, I'll have my own way of dealing with him. He's a Celestial Realm cultivator, that's true, but I've prepared a special gift for him, enough to kill him!"

His eyes burned as he continued: "If you can lend me a hand then, not only will I offer the 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' with both hands, but even the Taoist book and magical artifacts on that old monster Xuan You will all be yours! Furthermore, in the future, any needs you have, as long as I can fulfill them, I will! What do you say?!"

"A few days ago?"

Gu Yuan noticed the time Old Chen mentioned. He frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I heard the Third Miss mention yesterday that a tragic case occurred in Northern Liang County a few days ago, where a wealthy merchant's family of twenty-six people were all killed. Could it be that this was the work of the old monster Xuan You?"

"I've also heard about this matter," Old Chen chuckled and added: "From what I've seen, the deaths of this family of twenty-six were horrific, extremely bloody. They were likely deliberately tortured by the killer before death, so that they would be filled with resentment as they died. This way, the extracted souls would be excellent materials full of resentment, which could be used to refine magical artifacts or cultivate some kind of evil art."

"This kind of behavior and style, I'm very familiar with. This matter is likely inseparable from the old monster Xuan You!"

After saying this, he pressed: "So, boy, will you agree or not?"

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, then said: "If I don't agree, will Old Chen kill me?"

"I have no grievances with you, why would I kill you? At most, I'd just ask you to keep it a secret," Old Chen looked at him strangely.

"You should know that I also come from a reputable sect. Although I've had some bad deeds in the past, I wouldn't go so far as to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"It's you, boy, if I'm not mistaken, is that demonic creature you're raising hiding in the shadows right now, ready to attack me at any moment?!"

"Old Chen is joking, you're a senior, how would I dare offend you?" Gu Yuan said with a laugh, not embarrassed at being exposed, secretly appeasing the Ironback Centipede to stay put and not make any noise.

Old Chen didn't expose him, but wore an unfathomable smile on his face: "Gu boy, it's okay if you don't agree, but if you miss this opportunity, you'll probably regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that, senior?" Seeing the old man being so serious, Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little strange: "Although the 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' is good, it's just a superior martial art after all, and I'll always have a chance to obtain it in the future, it shouldn't be something I'll regret for the rest of my life, right?"

"What do you know, boy?" Old Chen sneered: "The 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' is indeed nothing, the key is your identity!"

"You weren't nurtured by Jade Cauldron Tower from a young age, nor are you a disciple of Medicine King Mountain. Even if your bones are the rare Iron Bone Supple Sinew, you're destined not to be valued. Even if you sell your life to Jade Cauldron Tower doing tasks, being able to obtain a superior martial art in the future would already be a stroke of luck. As for those true methods of entering the Tao, cultivating Taoist books, even inner sect disciples like us can only be taught after repeated tests. As for an outsider like you, ha... don't even think about it!"

"To put it bluntly, even if you obtain the 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' and step into the Innate Martial Master realm, so what? Without entering the Celestial Realm, without forging a Tao foundation, after a hundred years, you'll eventually turn into ashes."

Seeing Gu Yuan's silence, Old Chen's tone carried a hint of temptation: "But as far as I know, that old monster Xuan You has a scroll of Taoist book, although it's incomplete, it's a profound method that directly points to the Celestial Realm, containing the true secrets of entering the Tao and forging a foundation. Once you advance to the Celestial Realm, you'll be no ordinary person, living for three hundred years, and from then on, you can roam freely between heaven and earth."

Saying this, Old Chen said meaningfully: "Once you miss this opportunity, you'll miss it forever..."

Gu Yuan's eyes flickered: "Even if I make great contributions to Jade Cauldron Tower, it won't work?"

"Boy, don't you understand what I mean?" Old Chen snorted: "How precious are the true methods of entering the Tao, they're never easily passed on!"

"Let's not talk about how much contribution you can make with your current strength. Even if you make great contributions, there will be plenty of people who are jealous of you and try to steal your credit! Who doesn't covet the true methods of entering the Tao? If you really get the true methods of entering the Tao, whether you can keep them is another matter."

"Unless you're a disciple of my Medicine King Mountain, you might have a chance to obtain the true methods of entering the Tao. But the conditions for Medicine King Mountain to recruit disciples are quite harsh, with age restrictions, and you can't bring your own skills to the mountain. Your conditions simply don't meet the requirements."

"I see, thank you for your guidance, Old Chen..." Gu Yuan said thoughtfully, a little surprised that the methods of entering the Tao were even harder to obtain than he had imagined.

He could tell that Old Chen shouldn't be lying to him, or rather, there was no need for him to lie.

And Gu Yuan originally had some plans, preparing to make some contributions after advancing to the Innate Martial Master realm in the future, and obtain the cultivation methods of entering the Tao through Jade Cauldron Tower, thereby cultivating.

But now it seems that he was obviously thinking too much.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan said: "I have a few questions, please answer them for me, Old Chen."

"Speak," Old Chen didn't seem surprised.

"You're at least an inner sect disciple of Medicine King Mountain, with more seniority than the Pavilion Master, why don't you ask the Pavilion Master and them for help in this matter?" Gu Yuan asked doubtfully.

Old Chen said indifferently: "Xia boy and the others won't agree. First, they have no kinship with me, and it's not worth it for them to risk their lives against a Celestial Realm cultivator for a half-crippled person like me. Second, Xia Mingyang is currently preparing to forge his Tao foundation and break through to the Celestial Realm, so he has no time to pay attention to an old man like me! Besides, I can't come up with chips that can move them."

Gu Yuan stared at the other party: "Then, Old Chen, since your cultivation strength is no longer what it used to be, why are you so sure that you can deal with that old monster Xuan You?"

"Heh heh..." Hearing Gu Yuan's question, Old Chen's mouth twitched, revealing a sinister smile: "Because I have a Yin Thunder Pearl. Even if a Celestial Realm cultivator takes a hit, they'll be seriously injured even if they don't die. In addition to that, I still have a few percent of my cultivation left, so I'm not completely without the power to fight back."

Looking at Old Chen's slightly strange smile, Gu Yuan suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and a sense of coolness rose in his heart.

A Spirit Seeking Compass again... the 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' again... the Yin Thunder Pearl again...

This old guy has obviously been planning for a long time to deal with Xuan You, even at all costs. He clearly hates that old monster Xuan You to the extreme.

That old monster Xuan You is also unlucky to have offended a ruthless person like Old Chen!

"One last question!" Gu Yuan rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, and said: "If I agree to your terms, can you give me the 'Mystic Turtle Armor Technique' in advance?"
