Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

"Alright."

True Master Shu Tong did not waste words, giving a look to the person beside him, who then carefully brought the Seven-Blade Pure Bamboo to the private room where Gu Yuan was.

Not long after, the exchange was completed, and Gu Yuan carefully took out this somewhat special Innate Spirit Root, then placed it into another box before putting it into a Storage Pouch.

After that, Gu Yuan crossed his arms, squinting his eyes.

He had lost most interest in the auction items to come.

Because everything he needed to buy, he already had in his possession.

He even had some unexpected gains.

Overall, this trip was not in vain.

As for other things, there was no need to buy them.

Firstly, this auction had already consumed a significant portion of his savings, and secondly, although the remaining items might be of good quality, with some being Upper Grade Magical Treasures, they weren’t of much use to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan was already looking forward to refining the two fragments of the Taiyi Golden Bell Spirit Treasure that he obtained after the auction, and integrating them into his Lifebound Magical Treasure to enhance its power.

Having these two large Spirit Treasure fragments would surely increase the quality of his Lifebound Magical Treasure by one or two tiers.

Additionally, there was the Seven-Blade Pure Bamboo.

The Creation Cyan Lotus sprout clearly also coveted this Innate Spirit Root, giving Gu Yuan the feeling that it wanted to devour it.

Moreover, there was the batch of Spirit Pills that Gu Yuan had prepared to refine previously, with the Purple Green Twin Lotus as the main ingredient, which could enhance his cultivation.

These were all matters that Gu Yuan needed to resolve quickly next.

Of course, besides these, Gu Yuan had not forgotten another issue—Ku Quan Hermit.

Earlier, the two had a conflict, and Gu Yuan proactively proposed a Life and Death Platform duel between them, so now, even though Gu Yuan had already obtained what he wanted, he couldn’t just walk away.

This magical battle, he had to attend!

Not only to refresh his mind but also because Gu Yuan intended to establish his prestige.

Because in the next considerable period, he would need to stay in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, and now, just this auction had already exposed many of his possessions, such as his vast wealth and Pure Yang Treasure Iron.

So, there would indeed be some troubles coming his way.

By killing Ku Quan Hermit, he intended to intimidate some of the malicious individuals.

Furthermore, Ku Quan Hermit’s behavior earlier was truly annoying, and if he did nothing, he wouldn’t feel content or satisfied.

As for whether he could lose...

Gu Yuan hadn’t considered this issue.

If it were his own sect leader Yu Sheng Daoist, or True Master Shu Tong, or even Elder Kuruo and Yan Chunyuan, who were formidable Yin Spirit Giants, strong even among Yin Spirits, Gu Yuan naturally wouldn’t provoke them.

As for Ku Quan Hermit...

Though this old figure’s cultivation was profound, it was at most one Great Realm higher than Gu Yuan’s, merely at Yin Spirit Small Success.

Compared to Elder Kuruo, True Master Shu Tong, who were at Yin Spirit Great Success, or even in the Yin Spirit Great Perfection Realm, he was far behind in both cultivation and achievement.

Because Ku Quan Hermit was just a Loose Cultivator, his foundation wasn’t too high or strong, even if he refined a Yin Spirit Dao Fruit, it wasn’t of the topmost caliber.

Therefore, Gu Yuan didn’t see an issue.

Subsequently, the auction continued unhurriedly.

Gu Yuan merely observed all this quietly, no longer bidding to purchase.

Nonetheless, it must be said, this auction was indeed impressive, and many excellent items emerged continuously afterward.

Like Upper Grade Magical Treasures, some Top Grade Spirit Medicines, and even rare Celestial Rank Daoist Scriptures.

When the auction ended, Gu Yuan exited the private room, arriving at the entrance of the Chaotian Platform Auction House, waiting quietly.

Some people noticed Gu Yuan, whispering among themselves, transmitting messages. Upon learning that he was the one who challenged Ku Quan Hermit just now in the auction, many people’s gazes towards Gu Yuan changed.

Some even stayed behind instead of leaving, intending to watch what would happen next.

Gu Yuan paid no attention to this crowd of onlookers, merely stood quietly where he was, waiting.

It wasn’t long before Ku Quan Hermit came out.

He appeared as a middle-aged cultivator in a black robe, with a lean figure and a stern expression. His eyes, when flashing, contained a bit of a cold gleam.

Upon coming out, his gaze settled on Gu Yuan, and he let out a sinister smile, giving a sense of a smile without genuine joy:

"Boy, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you regret it now, there’s still time."

"Old Ku Quan dog, stop spouting nonsense. No need to pretend to be kind at this point; whatever you want to say, save it for the Life and Death Platform."

Gu Yuan sneered, disregarding the other’s little scheme, and after leaving a statement, he turned and left.

He was heading directly towards the direction of the Life and Death Platform.

Ku Quan Hermit’s face turned sour, his gaze icy, and the coldness in his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, saying:

"Good! Very good! Boy, I will make you understand that the power of a Yin Spirit Giant is not something a mere Golden Core Cultivator can challenge!"

The onlooking cultivators who were eating melons became very excited.

This was quite a show!

Moreover, there was more drama to follow!

A Life and Death Platform duel between a Golden Core Great Cultivator and a Yin Spirit Giant, and it was even proposed by a Golden Core Great Cultivator; they had never even heard of such a thing before, let alone seen it.

Not long after, Gu Yuan arrived at the Life and Death Platform.

Hmm, it was the same platform where he fought Gu Xuanfeng last time.

Last time, Gu Yuan, using the identity of Chu He, fought and killed Gu Xuanfeng.

This time, he would be using the identity of Wang Chan to duel with Ku Quan Hermit.

He ignored the curious gazes of the surrounding cultivators, and seeing that no one was on the Life and Death Platform, Gu Yuan leapt up onto it directly.

Before long, Ku Quan Hermit also arrived, and upon seeing Gu Yuan already waiting on the platform, he squinted his eyes and flew up onto the platform.

The two stood facing each other. Below the Life and Death Platform, many cultivators had gathered, more than there were during the last fight between Gu Yuan and Gu Xuanfeng.

This was quite normal actually.

Although Gu Yuan had some conflicts with Yuqiao Immortal Palace last time, at that time, both Gu Yuan and Gu Xuanfeng were merely Golden Core Great Cultivators.

But now, with the Treasure Exchange Conference underway, Luofu Immortal Island was filled with numerous cultivators from the Western Desert, Beiming, Southern Border, Central Earth, and other regions, making it ten times more lively.

Moreover, this time’s Life and Death Platform duel was between Golden Core and a Yin Spirit Giant, an occurrence that had never happened before.

In this way, once the news spread, it naturally attracted many cultivators to come and watch the commotion.

"Boy, leaving other things aside, you sure have courage. Certainly, you’re quite a figure."

Ku Quan Hermit scrutinized Gu Yuan and saw that Gu Yuan remained calm and composed, very indifferent. He commented, "It’s just a pity that your years of cultivation are about to be ruined just because of a momentary feud."
