Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Before him, the bookshelves were filled with various books and classics. With the Qian family's foundation, many of these books were undoubtedly rare and unique copies.

Besides books, there were also calligraphy, paintings, and antiques placed throughout the study.

It was conceivable that these items must contain a significant amount of Dao rhythm.

"Very good!"

Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but rub his hands together, feeling like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.

… …

[Dao Rhythm Points + 23!]

[Dao Rhythm Points + 9!]

[Dao Rhythm Points + 11!]

[Dao Rhythm Points + 68!]

[Dao Rhythm Points + 31!]

His palm swept across these books, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, and lines of notifications appeared before Gu Yuan's eyes one after another.

The Dao Rhythm Points on his attribute panel visibly increased.

… …

"Quick, quick, quick! Quickly report to the master! Something major has happened!"

"What's wrong? Hasn't the fire gotten smaller? What happened?"

"The Sixth Young Master's body was discovered in the burning room! It's clear that a thief broke into the mansion! We must tell the master!"

"What! Sixth Young Master is dead?!"

… …

Just as Gu Yuan was letting loose and reaping the benefits, faint, hurried footsteps came from the distance outside the door.

Seeing that he had reaped almost enough benefits, Gu Yuan stopped his actions, stepped forward to remove the sleeve arrow from Qian Cheng's arm, and then used blood as ink to leave the words "The killer is Yan Shisan!"

After doing this, he gave Ah Wu and Ah Huang the order to leave quickly, while he himself, carrying the large iron box, smashed through the window and climbed over the wall to leave the Qian residence.

… …

The next day, when the news of what happened at the Qian residence spread, the entire Bei Liang County was shaken!

Bei Liang County was located on the edge of Sheng Yang Prefecture. Although it was relatively poor, it was precisely because of this that few powerful heretical figures haunted the area, and it was relatively stable, with few major cases occurring.

However, this time, the matter was no small feat!

Someone broke into the Qian residence at night, committing murder and arson!

Qian Yunjie and Qian Fengping were nothing; for most people, they had never even heard of these two people.

The key was that Qian Cheng, the head of the Qian family, was also killed on the spot by the thief, who left behind the words "The killer is Yan Shisan!"

This was the most sensational part!

People are people, but the deaths of important figures and insignificant figures have drastically different consequences!

The death of an insignificant figure might go unnoticed, not even warranting a second glance, but the death of an important figure could shock many people and have far-reaching effects!

As the head of the Qian clan, Qian Cheng was definitely a well-known figure in Bei Liang County!

Those who associated with him on a daily basis were the county magistrate, wealthy merchants, and influential gentry.

Therefore, this matter was like a boulder thrown into the water, splashing up large swathes of water and creating huge waves!

At least many people keenly noticed that there were more constables and yamen runners patrolling the streets.

Each of them had a cold face, no longer as lazy as they usually were.

Even some wealthy families reacted strongly, thinking that if Yan Shisan could kill Qian Cheng, he could kill them too.

Therefore, this group of people united to petition the county yamen, demanding a thorough investigation of the matter and severe punishment for the murderer. At the same time, they also secretly sent out some servants to search for the murderer everywhere.

Many murderers, bandits, and mountain bandits who were hiding in Bei Liang County and had committed crimes in the past were either captured or killed!

On the streets, gangs like the Green Bamboo Gang, who usually bullied men and dominated women, extorting protection fees, were now behaving like grandsons, acting like shrinking turtles.

Lest they be displeasing to someone and be sacrificed to make an example!

For a time, the atmosphere in Bei Liang City changed drastically, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

At the same time, the name Yan Shisan was remembered by many people!

… …

In Yunmeng Mountain, Gu Yuan was taking stock of his gains.

The Qian family was indeed a well-known powerful and wealthy family in Bei Liang County!

They were truly damn rich!

The silver notes, plus the gold and jewelry, were worth more than three thousand taels of silver in total.

Even with this much, Gu Yuan suspected that this might only be Qian Cheng's private stash, his small treasury.

Then there were the one saber and one sword, two sharp weapons.

Especially the long sword, with the words "Autumn Water" engraved on the hilt.

Clang—

Drawing the long sword, the blade was as clear as water, like a pool of clear spring water gathered together. The blade was thin and sharp, as bright as a mirror, and exuded a chilling aura!

"Good sword!"

Gu Yuan exclaimed in admiration.

Just looking at the surface, anyone with a little knowledge could tell that this was a rare divine weapon!

It was much sharper than his original long sword.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Although this Autumn Water Sword was somewhat shady, the name "Yan Shisan" was equally shady.

When he used the identity of "Yan Shisan" in the future, it would be perfect to use this sharp sword.

As for the long saber, the blade was snow-bright and not much inferior. If he found an opportunity to sell it, he could exchange it for a lot of silver.

In addition to these things, there were also three martial arts manuals, namely:

《Soul Searching Five Poison Hand》, 《Great Stele Shattering Hand》, 《Yin Wind Saber》!

The three martial arts were all middle-grade martial arts.

Among them, 《Soul Searching Five Poison Hand》 was a poisonous technique, and it was quite difficult to cultivate.

At the beginning of cultivation, it was necessary to melt the poisons of five kinds of poisonous creatures—snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and geckos—into the body. The process was dangerous, and it would also cause the palms to fester and turn black.

Only upon reaching great success would it return to its original state. Although the power was great, it caused no small damage to the foundation of qi and blood. This technique was useless to Gu Yuan.

In the future, he could only sell it to exchange for some silver.

As for 《Great Stele Shattering Hand》, this was obviously the martial art practiced by Qian Fengping.

Once this martial art was used, it would be incomparably fierce. Upon reaching its peak, a pair of fleshy palms would have the power to shatter gold and crack iron.

It was somewhat useful to Gu Yuan. It wouldn't hurt to practice it in his spare time.

《Yin Wind Saber》 was the same. Although it was a saber technique, some of the exquisite moves within it could allow him to draw inferences about other things.

Finally, there were the Dao Rhythm Points.

Gu Yuan had harvested a total of 1063 Dao Rhythm Points from these few secret manuals and the Qian family's study.

Adding the 1250 Dao Rhythm Points he had originally accumulated, it was enough to upgrade all two of his spirit pets, Iron Tooth Rat and Big Mouth Snake, with some left over!

"I got more than five hundred taels of silver from Iron Tiger before, and this time I got three thousand seven hundred taels of silver. With so much money, I have to spend it…"

Gu Yuan looked at the money in front of him and calculated silently, discovering that he had already accumulated more than four thousand taels of silver.

Money was a good thing, but for him, keeping it to collect dust was obviously a foolish thing to do.

Only by transforming it into strength could it be put to good use and exert its greatest effect.

For example, buying spirit pills…

"Well, buying spirit pills in Gu Yuan's name is obviously not appropriate. Not to mention the identity of Yan Shisan."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment: "Forget it, let's change identities…"

Having made his decision, he no longer thought much about it.

He took out the spirit herb Huang Jing, cut off a few slices, and divided one slice each for the three little ones in front of him.

Crunch, crunch! Crunch, crunch!

With a series of crisp chewing sounds, Ah Huang and Ah Wu hugged the spirit herb slices and chewed with relish, making crisp sounds.

As for Big Mouth, although it didn't participate in the Qian family's affairs last night, Gu Yuan obviously wouldn't mistreat it.
