Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Xu Haoran spoke lightly, but Gu Yuan keenly noticed a hint of a cold killing intent flashing in the other’s eyes.

Obviously, things were not that simple.

However, since the other person said so, he was clearly not lying.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for the reminder. I am aware of this matter."

Gu Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "That Gu Xuanfeng is just a small trouble. When the time comes, I certainly won’t hold back. Brother Xu, you will be able to vent your anger then."

Xu Haoran was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. Gu Yuan’s words clearly showed that he did not regard Gu Xuanfeng as a threat at all.

Although Gu Xuanfeng was not an apex figure in the East Sea, he was among the most outstanding below the Dragon List.

Only a First Grade Golden Core with a Primordial Spirit Seed would qualify to look down on him.

So, could it be that Gu Yuan is also like him, a First Grade Golden Core?

The more Xu Haoran thought about it, the more he felt he was right. His gaze towards Gu Yuan became more cautious.

As a Great Cultivator of First Grade Pill Formation, he naturally understood how difficult it was to achieve a First Grade Pill.

To be honest, the fact that Xu Haoran himself could form a First Grade Pill was due not only to his own top-tier talent and enlightenment but also to some opportunities he had encountered before.

If Gu Yuan truly was a First Grade Pill Formation and also practiced the Body Cultivator system, then he obviously needed to be taken more seriously.

"Since Brother Xu has some grudges with Gu Xuanqing, and both are First Grade Golden Cores, why not just go directly to Gu Xuanqing to settle this cause and effect?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

Logically speaking, since Xu Haoran had some grudges with Gu Xuanqing, resolving it privately would be the best option.

Xu Haoran was not like Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan came from the Southern Border, alone, with no support in the East Sea, so he had to rely on himself for everything.

Xu Haoran, however, was a True Disciple of Luofu Immortal Island and a First Grade Pill, so he must be valued within Luofu Immortal Island.

Even if there were grudges, he could completely rely on the strength of his Sect to settle them.

But now he directly came to find Gu Yuan, obviously there was a reason.

Xu Haoran shook his head and explained, "I am not afraid that Brother Chu would laugh. Although we are both First Grade Golden Cores, Gu Xuanqing’s cultivation is at least a minor realm higher than mine, and he also possesses a special divine technique specialized in slaughter. I have little chance of surpassing him."

Even among First Grade Golden Cores, there is a disparity in levels.

Xu Haoran didn’t think his Golden Core was significantly inferior to the other’s, but his current cultivation was somewhat lacking compared to him.

As a First Grade Golden Core, having weaker cultivation by a level or two also implies being weaker in power by a similar margin.

In such circumstances, rashly approaching the other person would only invite trouble.

Xu Haoran continued, "Furthermore, the relationship between my Luofu Immortal Island and Yuqiao Immortal Palace is quite complicated, like both enemies and friends. On the surface, it’s not convenient for me to do anything too blatant, otherwise some elders might not approve."

As a major sect disciple, while enjoying various conveniences and benefits, one also needed to adhere to the rules and some constraints.

Unless...

One becomes a true ruler within, then perhaps one might have the confidence to not follow the rules.

Perhaps in the future, when Xu Haoran achieves the Yang Spirit Dao Fruit or even the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Dao Fruit, he might set the rules. But at least for now, Xu Haoran does not have this qualification.

Of course, Xu Haoran didn’t know that Gu Yuan had actually discerned his situation from the beginning, not after learning of his identity as a True Disciple of Luofu Immortal Island and his First Grade Pill status.

"I see..."

Having listened to Xu Haoran’s explanation, Gu Yuan nodded in understanding, also realizing the other’s concerns.

Gu Yuan himself, being a True Inheritance of Medicine King Mountain, naturally understood why Xu Haoran didn’t go to Gu Xuanqing to settle the grudges.

Being outmatched was one factor, but on the other hand, the two major powers had a seemingly good relationship. Despite Xu Haoran’s high status, he absolutely could not openly provoke a dispute between the two sides.

Otherwise, if serious consequences ensued, even he wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Being a First Grade Pill is excellent and would make Luofu Immortal Island treat him as a treasure.

However, ultimately, it was the Sect Leader, the Supreme Elder, and that Primordial Spirit True Immortal Ancestor who could actually make decisions in Luofu Immortal Island, not Xu Haoran.

So, even though he had a grudge with Gu Xuanqing, he couldn’t act rashly. Otherwise, not to mention Gu Xuanqing, his own sect elders would not sit idly by.

Now, Gu Yuan has confronted Gu Xuanfeng.

And the relationship between Gu Xuanfeng and Gu Xuanqing is widely known. Though not blood brothers, their bond is not inferior, so upon realizing that Gu Yuan was not a simple character, Xu Haoran specifically came to remind Gu Yuan.

The enemy of an enemy can often be turned into a friend.

This simple principle was something Xu Haoran understood.

As if thinking of something, Xu Haoran added, "By the way, Brother Chu, it’s best to be careful. Gu Xuanfeng can be ruthless and might possess some powerful special magical artifacts."

Ruthless? Special magical artifacts?

"Rest assured, Brother Xu, regardless of what tricks Gu Xuanfeng has, he is undoubtedly doomed. Even if Gu Xuanqing comes, the outcome is the same."

Gu Yuan nodded, indicating his understanding. Though his tone was calm, it exuded certainty and a powerful influence, making one subconsciously believe somewhat.

Xu Haoran subconsciously nodded along, but quickly realized, feeling a tinge of horror.

Speaking in a way that influences others is something he himself knows how to do.

Because some individuals possess robust and abundant divine soul and spiritual power, have firm will, and their Dao Heart is as steadfast as iron, thus their words often carry unique power.

However, for Gu Yuan’s words to even influence him, that was truly frightening.

This clearly indicated that Gu Yuan’s spirit, will, and Dao Heart surpassed his own by far.

Mind you, Xu Haoran was a First Grade Golden Core with a Primordial Spirit Seed, and yet Gu Yuan could surpass him by a great margin. What was Gu Yuan’s true background?

Xu Haoran was completely stupefied and even suspected that Gu Yuan might be a reincarnation or a body-snatcher for some great figure; otherwise, Gu Yuan’s various anomalies couldn’t be explained!

Moreover, even knowing that the Gu brothers, Gu Xuanfeng and Gu Xuanqing, were not simple, Gu Yuan still did not take them seriously.

Which indicated only two possibilities.

First, Gu Yuan truly had some real skills, was immensely powerful, and was utterly confident, allowing him to disregard the two.

Second, Gu Yuan might have issues with his mind, being overly arrogant and conceited.

Nevertheless, with Xu Haoran’s eyesight, it was apparent that Gu Yuan’s eyes were bright, his demeanor composed and calm, undoubtedly not the latter. There were very few individuals Xu Haoran had met who possessed such bearing.

Thus, the situation had become quite evident.

"By the way, there is one more thing where I need to trouble Brother Xu."

At this moment, Gu Yuan thought about it and brought up another matter.
