Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Then, Gu Yuan followed the road, walking towards the distance.

Before long, he saw several cultivators standing rigidly on the street and roadside.

Their eyes were fixed on the crowd, and as soon as they spotted a stranger approaching, they hurried forward, smiling warmly, and began greeting them, taking care of all sorts of issues and concerns for the newcomers.

These people were actually guest greeters, specifically serving some cultivators. For those visiting Luofu Immortal City for the first time, often lost and unsure where to buy what they need, or which place has the cheapest spiritual materials.

If anyone needs rare spiritual items and finds none on the street, nor has heard of them, they can seek assistance from these guest greeters.

These guest greeters are, frankly, just some savvy locals, well-versed in the city’s myriad shops’ offerings, the skills of alchemy masters, artifact refining masters, what the tributors are good at refining, as well as the various influences and their specialties in cultivation.

If there’s any problem, trouble, or something one wishes to buy but cannot find, these guest greeters can be consulted for resolution.

Of course, these guest greeters don’t help for free. Depending on the level of assistance, some compensation is required.

This is their survival strategy, using the earned spirit stones for their own living and cultivation.

Gu Yuan waved to one of them, signaling for him to come over, but unexpectedly, other nearby guest greeters’ eyes lit up and rushed over as well.

Gu Yuan felt puzzled, looked down, only to be amused as he understood the reason.

It turned out that the young man he had transformed into, though unremarkable in appearance, wore garments that were all quality magical artifacts, even the jade pendant at his waist was a rare upper grade magical artifact.

These guest greeters, sharp-eyed, naturally could discern his wealth, and people like Gu Yuan are usually quite generous when spending.

So, if they could secure a deal with him, they might make a handsome profit.

The guest greeters hurriedly surrounded Gu Yuan, all starting to make offers:

"Senior, if you need anything, come to me. I am very familiar with Luofu Immortal City; whatever you want to buy, I can help you find it."

"Indeed, Senior, if you have other needs, you can also come to me. Not just buying things, if you want to find someone, or have any requests, feel free to speak, I will try to help you solve them.

"That’s right, even if we don’t know, we know other fellow cultivators who might help Senior..."

These individuals are all Celestial Human Realm cultivators, none a Golden Core Great Cultivator, hence they addressed Gu Yuan as Senior.

After several voices spoke at once, Gu Yuan remained calm, consistently composed, and said with a smile: "Don’t rush, everyone. I’m trying to find someone, does anyone know of an artifact refining master with the surname Chai?"

Surname Chai?

Artifact refining master?!

Upon hearing this, they were slightly taken aback, then began thinking, searching their minds for these two pieces of information.

A while later, the rest shook their heads unaware but said they could inquire, of course, for a fee.

However, Gu Yuan looked towards another guest greeter.

This person appeared thoughtful, furrowing his brows, seemingly trying to recall something, shortly after, his brows relaxed, seemingly recalling something and quickly said: "I seem to have some impression, I know about the person Senior is mentioning."

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan nodded, tossed a bag of spirit stones accurately landing into the guest greeter’s arms, saying: "Take me to see, if you truly find this person, I have other rewards for you."

Seeing this, the others were envious, yet reluctantly withdrew, not continuing to disturb Gu Yuan.

This guest greeter, a young cultivator, thin build, somewhat pale complexion, at this moment holding the bag of spirit stones, couldn’t help but be greatly pleased.

He swiftly tucked it into his storage pouch, then introduced himself in the simplest terms.

His name was Chu Shi, a local loose cultivator, living here for over sixty years, so he was very familiar with Luofu Immortal City.

Cultivators don’t strictly judge age by appearance, after all, many can reverse aging or remain perpetually youthful.

Chu Shi didn’t think Gu Yuan was younger than him, honestly began asking Gu Yuan more detailed information.

Upon confirming Gu Yuan’s target was indeed the person he knew, he finally started to speak:

"Senior, the person you mention is named Chai Kun, quite old, though his background is unclear, he is an artifact refining master at Zhenbao Xuan. I’ve seen this Chai-master personally."

"This Chai-master is elderly, rarely ventures out, and enjoys studying the artifact refining art, hence his reputation isn’t widespread in Luofu Immortal City. However, his artifact refining technique is incredibly high.

"Chai-master? Zhenbao Xuan?"

Gu Yuan slowly savored these words, then nodded: "Lead the way ahead."

Chu Shi nodded: "Alright."

...

Zhenbao Xuan.

This shop’s main business is collecting various spiritual materials and rare items, as well as magical artifacts and treasures, including buying old and damaged ones.

In addition, they take orders for artifact refining; customers can bring spiritual wood, exotic metal, spend some money to have Zhenbao Xuan’s artifact refining masters refine them into magical artifacts or treasures.

Perhaps this shop is not the largest or most famous in the Immortal City, but the items inside are worth the price, and they hold a good reputation.

So often, customers come here either to sell or buy items, or to commission refinements.

Actually, many in Luofu Immortal City know that the shop’s owner is a significant figure from Luofu Immortal Island.

Gu Yuan arrived at Zhenbao Xuan.

This was evidently an old shop, one whose establishment date was unknown, the sign above the entrance was quite antiquated, appearing to be carved from a certain spiritual wood, faintly shimmering with spiritual light, evidently arrayed with restrictions.

Despite this, it bore the marks of weather and age.

"This is the place; Chai Kun should be here,"

Chu Shi said to Gu Yuan.

"Alright, let’s go in and have a look."

Gu Yuan promptly took the lead and entered the shop.

The interior was somewhat spacious, not too many customers, but Gu Yuan did spot some relatively precious spirit iron, spiritual wood, exotic gold, and the like.

A servant hurriedly came over, with a placating smile, nodding and bowing as he said: "Senior, what can I assist you with?"
