Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Gu Yuan finished speaking, and the entire Chaotian Que Auction House fell into a dead silence.

Many people were dumbfounded, frozen in place, even beginning to doubt their own ears.

If they didn’t hear wrong, Gu Yuan was issuing a challenge to Ku Quan Hermit, right?

Moreover, it was a life-and-death duel on the Life and Death Platform.

But the problem is, as a Golden Core Cultivator, how could you have such courage to issue a life-and-death duel challenge to a notorious Demon Dao Yin God Giant?

Don’t you know how vast the gap of a Great Realm really is?

At this moment, the cultivators had varied reactions, some were extremely shocked, some sneered with disdain, and others admired Gu Yuan’s commendable courage.

As for Ku Quan Hermit, he was initially furious, feeling that Gu Yuan’s challenge was an insult to him, but he quickly calmed down: "Fine, you brat have guts, since you want to court death, how can I not fulfill your wish."

"After the auction ends, you and I will duel on the Life and Death Platform!"

A moment later, the voice of Gu Yuan came from the private room he was in: "Alright."

Once the words fell, both stopped speaking.

However, the entire auction house became noisy as many people began to murmur.

No way, this trip today was simply too worthwhile!

Even if they didn’t manage to win a bid on any fitting items, being able to witness a great spectacle after the auction ends surely made the trip worthwhile.

Who doesn’t love watching a thrilling show?

Especially with Gu Yuan and Ku Quan Hermit, one being a Golden Core Great Cultivator and the other a Yin Spirit Giant, the two agreeing to a life-and-death duel; this was too exciting!

Even many eminent figures were astonished at this moment, wondering where Gu Yuan, a mere Golden Core Great Cultivator, found such courage and confidence to duel with a Yin God Giant like Ku Quan Hermit!

But regardless, this matter was already settled, though it was still the auction time, so True Master Shu Tong resumed hosting.

"Next, is there anyone who wishes to place a bid?"

The auction house fell silent, with no one bidding for a moment.

Yet, many people turned their gaze towards Gu Yuan’s private room, visibly curious about him.

But soon, another voice rang out:

"I bid one and a half million Spirit Stones."

In the private room, Gu Yuan looked somewhat surprised at the private room from which the voice came because the voice’s owner was none other than Xue Wulong, a Yin Spirit Giant from Yuqiao Immortal Palace!

After the initial surprise, Gu Yuan understood and calmed down:

"As expected, the people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace are truly interested in this item..."

Last time, when he encountered the Taiyi Golden Bell Fragment at a street stall, the people from Yuqiao Immortal Palace wanted to snatch it from him too.

And the same thing happened again this time.

In this situation, it can only indicate that someone within Yuqiao Immortal Palace is highly interested in the Taiyi Golden Bell fragments and may even possess other fragments themselves.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make any sense.

However, Gu Yuan was also determined to obtain this item, so he continued bidding: "One million three hundred thousand Spirit Stones and five hundred White Sun Pills."

On the other side, the private room where Xue Wulong was remained silent for a moment, ultimately not continuing the bid.

He figured out that Gu Yuan clearly wasn’t short of Spirit Stones, and even at a raised price, he would keep bidding.

Hence, there was no need for him to continue bidding.

As an elder from Yuqiao Immortal Palace attending this auction, he had goals and tasks.

This piece of Taiyi Golden Bell Fragment was important, but other items were more crucial.

Once Xue Wulong remained silent, no one else continued to bid, so naturally, this Taiyi Golden Bell Fragment fell into Gu Yuan’s hands.

The following auction items remained quite precious, but Gu Yuan wasn’t particularly interested and didn’t pay much attention.

Soon, someone came to deliver the Spirit Treasure Fragment to him, and it turned out to be a familiar face - Xu Haoran.

"Brother Chu, this is the item you wanted."

At this time, Gu Yuan’s friend, whom he had just met not long ago, entered, chatted with Gu Yuan for a while, and then took out the Spirit Treasure Fragment.

Gu Yuan took it, then retrieved Spirit Stones and White Sun Pills from his Storage Pouch, handing them over to Xu Haoran.

After confirming the count was correct, Xu Haoran collected the items, but his expression was visibly complex.

He had naturally witnessed Gu Yuan’s earlier actions.

However, he never expected Gu Yuan to play so big.

In front of so many people, directly engaging with Ku Quan Hermit and even proactively inviting him to a life-and-death duel seemed a bit too fierce...

"Brother Chu, that Ku Quan Hermit is a wicked old demon, known for many years, and has cultivated dozens of troublesome Demonic Divine Techniques, being both sinister and ruthless. If you really intend to duel with him, I advise you to be more cautious."

Xu Haoran spoke with a serious and earnest demeanor: "If you regret it now, it’s not too late; I have a senior from my sect here in this auction house, I can ask him to help you settle this matter. Later, when the opportunity arises, you can deal with the old demon."

Gu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Xu, but I have my plans."

Seeing Xu Haoran still frowning, Gu Yuan simply revealed a bit: "Rest assured, Brother Xu, that old dog may be a Yin God Giant, but I am no pushover."

"At the very least, I never engage in matters where I have no confidence."

When Gu Yuan spoke these words, his demeanor was calm, yet an unwavering, indisputable conviction emanated from him.

Xu Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, seeming to understand a bit.

"Alright, since Brother Chu, you have your plans, that’s good."

Combining Gu Yuan’s earlier effortless decapitation of Gu Xuanfeng on the Life and Death Platform and the recent sword strike, Gu Yuan’s strength was evidently far superior to the same level of Golden Core Great Cultivators.

Perhaps Gu Yuan already possessed the strength to contend with a Yin God Giant and even intended to gain prestige by subduing Ku Quan Hermit.

After delivering the item, Xu Haoran didn’t linger and soon left.

Gu Yuan then took out the Taiyi Golden Bell Fragment, examined it briefly, and, satisfied, put it away.

The item was authentic, but now was not the right time to swallow and refine it.

It’s better to wait until after this auction concludes.

At this time, the auction was still ongoing.

A maid carried a tray to the stage, and True Master Shu Tong spoke with a smile: "Everyone, here is a first-generation offshoot of the Innate Spirit Root, Primordial Qing Bamboo, named Seven-Colored Pure Bamboo."

"Some fellow Daoists may know, that the Primordial Qing Bamboo is the treasure of the Lao Jun Temple in the Xuanzong’s ancestral courtyard, with an extremely high grade, ranking among the top three Spirit Roots in the entire world."

"And this Seven-Colored Pure Bamboo, although just a descendant offshoot, is still worthy of being considered an Innate Spirit Root because it retains some characteristics and vitality of the Primordial Qing Bamboo."
