Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

It appears to be a bit smaller than what Gu Yuan just acquired at the auction, but upon taking it out, it still attracted the Taiyi Golden Bell within Gu Yuan.

Although Gu Yuan was surprised that it could bring out the Taiyi Golden Bell Spirit Treasure Fragment, he remained expressionless and asked, "Besides this, does Elder Yan have anything else?"

This Spirit Treasure Fragment was evidently more thoroughly destroyed than the one he acquired at the auction; its restrictions were almost gone, so its value was much lower.

Based solely on this item, it is simply not enough to exchange for the Pure Yang Treasured Iron.

Yan Chunyang naturally understood this; he pondered for a moment and simply took out a rusty bronze bottle from his chest, saying, "Within this item is a trace of the Divine Soul of a Yang Spirit mighty figure of the past. This person was also a Sword Cultivator and had cultivated Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques. Although this elder no longer possesses spiritual wisdom, there remains an extremely formidable combat instinct; you can engage in a sparring match with it."

"However, this elder’s Divine Soul is already on the verge of crumbling, and you can only spar or seek guidance once before it dissipates."

"Shall I use this item, along with this Spirit Treasure Fragment, to trade with you?"

Gu Yuan looked at the two items in Yan Chunyang’s hand without hesitation, directly nodding in agreement.

"Alright."

Firstly, the Spirit Treasure Fragment can enhance the power of his Lifebound Magical Treasure, Taiyi Golden Bell, so he needs to acquire this item.

Secondly, the bronze bottle held by Yan Chunyang contains the Divine Soul of a Yang Spirit mighty figure, retaining combat instincts, and is a Sword Cultivator who mastered Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques. For a Sword Dao genius like Gu Yuan, the opportunity to spar with it would be an unimaginably great fortune.

This is akin to receiving hands-on guidance from a Sword Immortal with superior swordsmanship and higher achievements than Gu Yuan.

This is naturally very beneficial to Gu Yuan, more important than any treasure.

Because Gu Yuan is very clear.

To a cultivator, no treasure or spiritual object is truly as valuable as the advancement of one’s cultivation and Dao practice.

Therefore, Gu Yuan agreed to the exchange.

Seeing Gu Yuan agree, Yan Chunyang nodded unchanged in expression and handed the two items to Gu Yuan.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan sliced off a piece of approximately two hundred pounds of Pure Yang Treasured Iron with his Lifebound Flying Sword.

Although Pure Yang Treasured Iron, this Divine Gold, is quite good, its attribute leans towards pure yang and fire, so it is not very useful to Gu Yuan. Naturally, he would make the most of it to exchange for other resources that would benefit him.

Yan Chunyang obtained what he wanted and immediately turned to leave, but before leaving, he solemnly said, "Now that Pure Yang Treasured Iron is in my hands, those interested can come find me."

This remark was obviously directed not at Gu Yuan but at everyone in the auction house, clearly audible to all.

Upon hearing these words, some people’s hearts shivered, dismissing their previous intentions.

After all, their interest was in the Pure Yang Treasured Iron, and to some, Gu Yuan appeared to be a weak target. But now that it’s in Yan Chunyang’s hands, that’s different. Yan Chunyang’s killing intent is too great and his strength too robust; he is not someone they can afford to provoke.

Others were puzzled, wondering how Yan Chunyang had connected with Gu Yuan.

"Thank you, senior."

As for Gu Yuan, he nodded in thanks.

He also felt that he had chosen the right person.

The person before him was indeed not the kind of person with sly intentions, rather someone focused and earnest, a serious cultivator dedicated to the Dao.

Regardless, that person’s words saved him from some trouble.

"No need for thanks, your swordsmanship is not inferior to mine, even without my words, you wouldn’t be in trouble."

Yan Chunyang did not take credit, simply saying, "We sword cultivators never judge superiority by cultivation but by swordsmanship. If you have the time, Fellow Daoist, we can spar a bit."

The implication was clear: Yan Chunyang regarded Gu Yuan as a fellow Daoist rather than a junior.

Gu Yuan uncharacteristically became solemn. He had to seriously acknowledge the respect from the sincere seeker before him.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Yuan set up a layer of restriction, then said, "My surname is Gu, given name Yuan, a native of Southern Border, from Medicine King Mountain, a True Disciple of Medicine King Mountain. Gu Yuan greets Fellow Daoist Yan!"

He then bowed with clasped hands.

The person before him, Yan Chunyang, was no sly person. Since he treated him as a fellow Daoist, giving him due respect, Gu Yuan naturally could not deceive him.

Thus, he disclosed his true identity.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Yan Chunyang, to himself, and to the Sword Dao.

The person before him was a sincere and steadfast seeker of the Dao!

Gu Yuan...Southern Border...Medicine King Mountain True Disciple...

Even with Yan Chunyang’s calm demeanor, he could not help but be surprised.

The young man before him was not from the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm but from Southern Border.

The Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm is bustling with cultivation pursuits and abundant in resources, naturally causing the emergence of various cultivation geniuses.

Including Primordial Spirit True Immortals, there are ten openly recognized ones.

Conversely, Southern Border is seen by many as a barren land, without even a single openly recognized Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

Comparing the two places, they are vastly different.

By logic, the chances of a peerless prodigy like Gu Yuan being born in the Eastern Sea Cultivation Realm should be higher.

Yet Gu Yuan is from Southern Border. Thus, his reach to this degree clearly having faced greater difficulty.

"Fellow Daoist Gu is too polite."

Yan Chunyang soon calmed down, similarly bowing back, and gave a sword-shaped jade talisman, explaining, "This item is the Communication Jade Talisman from my Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect. Not unless, even separated by thousands of miles, can you reach me. With this item, Fellow Daoist Gu can contact me anytime. If anything arises, you can seek my help."

"Thank you, Brother Yan."

Gu Yuan expressed his gratitude earnestly.

After Yan Chunyang left, he still felt a bit unsettled. Unexpectedly, at this auction, he not only acquired the items he aimed for but also met Yan Chunyang, the third on the Dragon List, former Sword Son of Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect.

Moreover, their connection was not merely superficial acquaintance. Although they only exchanged a few words, both gained a substantial understanding of each other’s background and discerned each other’s nature.

It can be said that now, to some extent, their relationship is that of fellow Daoists, sharing the same aspirations, both dedicated to the Dao and cultivation of the Sword Dao.

At this moment, True Master Shu Tong returned and ascended to the high platform, looking towards Gu Yuan’s compartment, saying, "Young friend, I have already consulted the owner of the Seven Skillful Purity Bamboo. The other party has agreed to let you exchange approximately two hundred pounds of Pure Yang Treasured Iron for it."

"Alright, thank you, senior. Please send someone to my compartment to proceed with the exchange."

Gu Yuan’s voice was heard.
