Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

"It’s nothing, I just have more talents, besides the Innate Sword Bone, I also have Sword Heart Talent, and a few other talents."

Gu Yuan did not elaborate, speaking rather vaguely, but the information revealed in this simple sentence was enough to astonish anyone.

Besides the Innate Sword Bone, he has Sword Heart Talent, and several other talents... that’s all?

That’s all?

Upon hearing this, even Yan Pure Yang’s composed demeanor transformed slightly.

As for his disciple Qi Yingyang, he was utterly shocked, holding a teapot in a daze.

Generally speaking, talent, whether ordinary or Spirit Body Talent, or even the higher Dao Body Talent, is often something most people lack in the Cultivation Realm.

Among the few who possess talent, it’s usually just one talent per person, and dual-talented individuals like Qi Yingyang are extremely rare.

Perhaps even across the entire East Sea Cultivation Realm, there aren’t many.

But what had Gu Yuan just said? Besides the Innate Sword Bone Talent, he also has the Sword Heart Talent, and several other talents. It sounded utterly unbelievable.

Yet the master and disciple knew Gu Yuan would not deceive them about such matters because it would serve no purpose.

Moreover, Qi Yingyang was aware, but Yan Pure Yang had witnessed firsthand how Gu Yuan, with a Golden Core body, had defeated the Yin God Giant, Ku Quan Hermit.

Achieving something nearly unprecedented, Gu Yuan’s talents were likely quite complex.

"This is our first meeting, and I came rather abruptly, without preparing anything."

After chatting for a while, Gu Yuan seemed to remember something, and he took out a palm-sized short sword from his Storage Pouch.

The short sword appeared exquisite, with a jet-black hilt and a snow-white blade that gleamed brightly, emitting a chilling aura that was unsettling. Anyone knowledgeable could immediately recognize it as a good sword.

Indeed, it was.

Over the years, Gu Yuan had vanquished numerous adversaries, some formidable ones like Ku Quan Hermit.

This short sword was actually acquired from Ku Quan Hermit’s Storage Pouch.

The sword’s quality was initially decent, but it had been imbued with Demonic Divine Techniques, which Gu Yuan, as a Sword Cultivator, disdainfully cleansed, personally refining it to remove all Restrictive Techniques and Demonic Qi, leaving just the core sturdiness.

So now, while the sword may lack the variety of techniques of its original Demon Sword form, its power had significantly increased, becoming sharper than before.

Its quality had reached the level of a Top Grade Magical Artifact, with seventy-two layers of restrictions, nearly a Magical Treasure.

Moreover, it contained a fearsome Sword Intent capable of slicing through all bonds!

"I’ll give this sword to my nephew as a meeting gift."

With that, Gu Yuan tossed the small sword to Qi Yingyang.

"Master, this..."

Qi Yingyang first looked at his master Yan Pure Yang, hoping to see how his master wanted him to respond.

"Your uncle has given it to you, so you may as well accept it."

Yan Pure Yang gestured for him to take it. Only then did Qi Yingyang respectfully accept it, bowing and thanking Gu Yuan: "Thank you, Uncle!"

Gu Yuan waved his hand, indicating it was no matter.

Yan Pure Yang, on the side, smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Chu. The quality of this Flying Sword is quite good, but the most precious part is the Sword Intent within it. This Sword Intent’s subtlety seems even greater than my own."

"If my mediocre disciple could comprehend part of its essence, his Swordsmanship would greatly advance."

Being someone who mastered Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques himself, he naturally recognized the nuances.

The Flying Sword in itself was good, certainly possessing potential as a Magical Treasure, yet such things were not scarce for someone like Yan Pure Yang from the Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect.

Earlier, during an auction, he had even traded with Gu Yuan, offering an Upper Grade Magical Treasure Flying Sword; the key was the Sword Intent within the sword left by Gu Yuan.

This Sword Intent, though daunting and somewhat dangerous, offered immense benefits.

As long as his disciple Qi Yingyang could comprehend any part of it, he could benefit for a lifetime.

In Yan Pure Yang’s view, such items were more valuable and important than any Magical Treasure.

Listening to his master’s words, Qi Yingyang quickly understood he had gained a great benefit and promptly thanked Gu Yuan again.

"Alright, there’s no need for more courtesy."

Gu Yuan smiled, stopping his thanks, and then said, "Xiao Qi, I’ve heard the nearby tea fruit tastes quite good. Can you help me get some to try?"

Yan Pure Yang remained silent on the side.

Qi Yingyang wasn’t foolish; he understood Gu Yuan wanted to discuss something with his master and offered an excuse to send him away.

Nonetheless, he had no objections, responded affirmatively, and left the courtyard.

It was then that Gu Yuan restrained his smile and respectfully cupped his hands: "I’ve come today to inquire about something; I hope Brother Yan will be candid."

Yan Pure Yang calmly nodded, his response straightforward: "Unless it involves my sect’s secrets, I won’t hide anything."

Gu Yuan had subtly mentioned it in the Communication Spirit Talisman before coming, thus Yan Pure Yang knew Gu Yuan had important matters.

"Thank you."

Gu Yuan expressed his gratitude, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Actually, I’m curious to ask Brother Yan about this item; where did you obtain it?"

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out a copper bottle, the size of a palm, with a large belly and narrow neck, covered in intricate patterns and patches of green rust.

This copper bottle was precisely what Yan Pure Yang had given Gu Yuan during the last auction.

The difference now was the Divine Soul of Zhang Kai inside had vanished, and its value had dissipated.

Gu Yuan’s curiosity about the bottle’s origin was simply to find out how Yan Pure Yang had come to possess it.

Additionally, he intended to avenge and vindicate his master-uncle Zhang Kai.

Towards Medicine King Mountain, Gu Yuan felt a closer connection than Spirit Gourd Island.

The reason being, aside from his master He Ling True Master, and a few select individuals, others in Medicine King Mountain harbored animosity towards him, creating no sense of kinship.

Despite being a True Disciple of Medicine King Mountain, Gu Yuan largely reached his current level through his own efforts.

He hadn’t enjoyed many benefits of being a disciple there.

Spirit Gourd Island, however, was different.

Profound Origin Daoist, despite meeting Gu Yuan only thrice, was immensely helpful, advising him with earnest dedication each time.

Perhaps hoping for Gu Yuan to shoulder Spirit Gourd Island’s responsibilities, but he never showed any hostility.

Zhang Kai was similar.
