Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Gu Yuan sized this person up and down and said, "Who do you think you are? A Primordial Spirit True Immortal or a Banished Immortal descended to earth? You think one word from you and I’ll listen to you? Have you eaten too much shit?"

As soon as Gu Yuan said this, the surrounding area fell silent, then burst into laughter, and many people nearby couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Earlier, when these people appeared, they put on an aggressive and condescending manner that annoyed everyone. And from their clothing, anyone with a bit of knowledge could tell that they were disciples of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace, quite a big deal.

Everyone thought this was another act of bullying the weak. Although they felt a bit sorry for the young Gu Yuan, offending the disciples of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace was a calamity for ordinary cultivators, but they also wanted to see what would happen next.

However, now, facing these people, Gu Yuan didn’t hold back and cursed them fiercely, making the crowd burst into laughter.

The faces of the disciples of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace turned extremely unpleasant, but they couldn’t offend the public, so they could only vent their anger on Gu Yuan.

The young man in front of Gu Yuan ignored him and instead looked at the old stall owner, "Senior, I am Gu Xuanfeng, a true disciple of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace. I want that black iron block from earlier, and I can offer twice the price Chu He had bid."

Gu Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn’t know whether the other party had seen the origin of the black iron earlier or was simply trying to stir things up, but he obviously wouldn’t let it go unnoticed.

Gu Yuan sneered, "Old Gu, I’ve completed my transaction with this senior, yet you’re trying to interfere. Or do you have so many spirit stones you can’t spend them all?"

Gu Xuanfeng glanced coldly, but didn’t speak, seemingly disdainful to talk to Gu Yuan.

"What this young friend says is right. The transaction is done, even if you offer ten times the price, it has nothing to do with me anymore."

The old stall owner said, very calmly.

He naturally wouldn’t get involved in the murky waters between Gu Yuan and the Yuqiao Immortal Palace, but he had to abide by certain rules.

If word got out otherwise, not only would he be mocked by old friends, his reputation would also suffer.

"Senior, I think you should reconsider. The earlier transaction isn’t actually complete since I voiced my objection."

Gu Xuanfeng initially frowned, then said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, I can offer a higher price! If there are other conditions, Senior can also propose them."

As he spoke, Gu Xuanfeng was full of confidence. As a true disciple of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace, ordinary Yin Spirit giants didn’t intimidate him. Besides, the conditions he proposed were quite generous. Even if the other party was dissatisfied, they would likely comply with the power of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace behind him.

Many people were secretly surprised by Gu Xuanfeng’s words; he had guts to threaten a Yin Spirit giant.

And the conditions he proposed were indeed generous. Could that black iron block truly be an unknown treasure?

"Kid, are you threatening me..."

However, surprisingly, the old stall owner did not agree but instead sneered and said, "Even your ancestor, Old Gu Monster, wouldn’t dare say such things to me. Do you think you can threaten this old man?"

He shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "It seems over the years, some in the Yuqiao Immortal Palace are regressing in cultivation. Even the disciples are trained to be fools."

As he spoke, the old stall owner disinterestedly stood up and swept his hand, collecting all the items of his stall. Then, he strolled leisurely over to Gu Xuanfeng.

At this moment, Gu Xuanfeng’s expression had already changed when he heard "Old Gu Monster," and he had a foreboding sensation.

"Senior, this is a misunderstanding, I..."

"Misunderstanding, huh!"

The old stall owner patted Gu Xuanfeng on the shoulder and said, "Misunderstanding or not, it’s not up to you to decide, it’s up to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from everyone’s sight.

As for Gu Xuanfeng, after being patted, he turned pale, looking bewildered and confused. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly collapsed.

Evidently, the old stall owner didn’t let him off easily and punished Gu Xuanfeng a bit.

"..."

The other disciples of the Yuqiao Immortal Palace had a difficult look on their faces but didn’t pursue the old man’s identity, showing that he likely had considerable background, and pursuing the matter might cause trouble for them, so they wisely chose not to.

However, they didn’t dare to go after the old man, but they had no qualms about targeting Gu Yuan.

One-armed Xue Divine Tiger stepped forward a few paces, glared at Gu Yuan, then quickly pulled out a healing elixir and stuffed it into Gu Xuanfeng’s mouth for him to swallow.

Gu Xuanfeng finally felt a bit better and regained his senses.

After figuring out what had happened, he was both shocked and angry, but didn’t dare to boast again, fearing another encounter with a superior, so he shifted his anger to Gu Yuan.

He looked at Gu Yuan, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "Chu, I’ll give you a chance. Hand over the black iron block from earlier, and I can let you off."

"Let me off?"

Gu Yuan looked Gu Xuanfeng up and down with a playful gaze and said, "I wonder who it was just now, trying to show off but almost got killed by that senior."

"Hehe... Let me off? Do you think you’re qualified to say that?"

As he mocked, Gu Yuan realized that the black iron block that seemed like a broken tile was indeed an unknown treasure, at least this Gu Xuanfeng knew something about it.

But expecting the other party to divulge it was unlikely, and Gu Yuan wasn’t inclined to ask — if he could study it later or use the Taiyi Golden Bell to observe its effects, he might uncover its origin.

"Enough, no more nonsense. Don’t even think about it unless you kneel and call me grandpa, I won’t give it to you."

Gu Yuan glanced at them, stopping at Gu Xuanfeng and Xue Divine Tiger, and said bluntly, "You guys aren’t really here for this item, you’re here for me. Go on, what do you actually want?"

His sharp instincts allowed him to discern from various details that Gu Xuanfeng wasn’t just there for the "broken tile" from earlier, but for him.

Gu Xuanfeng’s face was sullen, yet he didn’t deny it. As for Xue Divine Tiger, he merely gave Gu Yuan a cold glance, then stepped back to let Gu Xuanfeng speak: "Senior Brother Gu, please go ahead..."

Gu Xuanfeng understood Xue Divine Tiger’s intention, but he was in a foul mood and didn’t respond to Xue, instead looking at another disciple beside him, who knowingly pulled out a letter and handed it to Gu Yuan.
