Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 192 The malicious intent of the great Jindan monk!

After saying goodbye to Situ Yan, Feng Shaojie brought Gu Yuan out of the alchemy room.

"Brother, please follow me. Your accommodation is ready. It's not far behind."

Feng Shaojie led the way in front. After experiencing what happened just now, he knew that his master valued Gu Yuan very much, so he put away his contempt for Gu Yuan.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Brother Feng."

Noticing the other party's somewhat complicated look, Gu Yuan didn't care much.

"and many more!"

The two went downstairs and were stopped by someone when they passed a corridor.

The two stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a thin, middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe.

Unlike True Lord Kurumu, this man was thin but had a broad frame, fluttering sleeves, and a long beard, giving him a bit of an immortal air.

"Meet Uncle Qingmu!"

Feng Shaojie bowed.

Master Qingmu nodded slightly, then glanced at Gu Yuan beside him, and asked doubtfully, "Master Feng, what are you doing? And who is this person?"

Feng Shaojie replied respectfully, "Uncle Master, this is Junior Brother Gu Yuan, a disciple of Uncle Master He Ling. Master has just met Junior Brother Gu and asked me to take Junior Brother Gu to the accommodations he has arranged for him."

"Oh?"

Master Qingmu looked a little surprised and looked at Gu Yuan: "So you are the disciple of Junior Brother He Ling."

"Disciple has met Master Uncle!"

Gu Yuan saluted, but sneered in his heart.

Although he had never seen this person, he had heard his master He Ling Zhenren mention him.

Masamune Aoki is the deputy owner of this place and belongs to a noble family faction.

Unlike Situ Yan, who has always been obsessed with alchemy and ignores worldly affairs, Qingmu Zhenren is keen on power and controls nearly half of the authority of Yuding Tower in Qiongmingfang City.

As long as Situ Yan doesn't come out, he is the one who has the final say here.

The key point is that this person is quite hostile to the sect and has had some friction with True Man He Ling, but he did not openly oppose him like True Man Zixiao.

Moreover, when they first met just now, Gu Yuan keenly discovered that the man looked at him with a hint of surprise, without any sense of strangeness, and it was obvious that he had known him for a long time.

"He is indeed a handsome man. Junior Brother He Ling has good taste!"

Masamune Aoki stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and smiled. If someone didn't know him, they might think he was showing goodwill.

But Gu Yuan's sword heart was extremely sharp, and he vaguely sensed that beneath this person's kind appearance, there was a cold malice hidden!

"This old guy definitely has bad intentions! We have to be careful of him."

Gu Yuan was secretly determined in his heart.

On the surface, Gu Yuan exchanged a few words of flattery with him, then he and Feng Shaojie said goodbye and left.

Looking at the backs of Gu Yuan and Feng Shaojie as they left, the smile on Qingmu Zhenren's face gradually disappeared, becoming cold, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"Gu Yuan... humph!"

……

In the next few days, Gu Yuan began to study "The Essentials of Golden Elixir".

It must be said that this method of alchemy is indeed profound.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan tamed the spiritual pet Caiyun and obtained its talent "Thousand Changes", which gave him a special sensitivity to the changes in the medicinal properties of spiritual medicines.

This also made Gu Yuan extremely talented in alchemy. He was able to learn "The Essentials of Golden Elixir" with ease and was not fooled by its various metaphors and alchemy terminology.

During this period, Niu Youde, Xia Xiuxue and others also visited the courtyard where Gu Yuan lived once.

Both of them knew very well that the three of them had entered Yaowang Mountain together and had also joined the sect, so the three of them were naturally allies.

And Gu Yuan is the leader.

It was because Gu Yuan's talent, cultivation, strength, and status were all enough to bear this responsibility. The sect's lineage was already declining, and the three of them had to stick together to better protect themselves from being bullied.

The two men did not disturb Gu Yuan for too long. They said a few words and then left quickly.

After sending the two out, Gu Yuan went straight to Yuding Tower.

After studying the art of alchemy for many days, he decided to try it himself.

No matter how much you learn about alchemy, it will be useless if you don't practice making the elixir yourself.

"Senior Brother Gu!"

"I've met senior brother!"

"Junior brother..."

"..."

When Gu Yuan arrived at Yuding Tower, many people recognized him and greeted him.

However, Gu Yuan could see that although these people seemed polite, their politeness was filled with alienation and a bit of scrutiny.

Many of them were wary and hostile.

Gu Yuan didn't take it seriously, dealt with it casually, and walked to the counter.

Ignoring the inquiring looks of some people around him, Gu Yuan directly took out a jade slip and said to the person in front of the counter:
"Give me ten copies of each of these ingredients."

"Yes!"

The middle-aged manager at the counter did not dare to delay and hurriedly checked the information in the jade slip.

"Jade Essence Pill...Qi Replenishing Pill...Spirit Nourishing Pill..."

When he saw the first two kinds of pills, he was still relatively calm. However, when he saw the Soul-Yunning Pill and the materials needed to refine it, a strange look appeared on his face. The way he looked at Gu Yuan changed, but he didn't say much.

He just said, "Excuse me, junior brother, please wait a moment," then called a man over, gave him a few instructions, and the boy left in a hurry.

Not long after, a servant came hurriedly with a storage bag in his hand.

"Junior Brother Gu, this is what you're looking for. You're an inner disciple, and Master Situ has given instructions, so I can give you a discount. You only need to pay 40% of the spirit stones, which is 1,600 spirit stones."

The middle-aged steward handed the storage bag containing the elixir to Gu Yuan.

"Junior brother can check it out."

"Thank you."

Gu Yuan was not polite. After taking it, he probed his spiritual sense into it. After confirming that it was correct, he handed over the spirit stone and turned to leave.

After Gu Yuan left, someone came over to ask about the situation. After learning about the situation, someone sneered: "Soul-Yun Dan?"

"I'm not surprised that this boy wants to learn alchemy, but he's only been learning for a few days?"

"The Soul-Nourishing Pill is a magical elixir that can nourish the mind and even the soul. It's incomparable to Jade Essence Pills or Qi-Replenishing Pills. He actually dreamed of refining the Soul-Nourishing Pill. It's truly ridiculous! Absurd!"

"In my opinion, this kid has great ambitions, but he's too arrogant... I've studied alchemy for over thirty years and am now a veteran among alchemists, but I wouldn't dare to claim to be able to refine the Soul-Nourishing Pill. What qualifications does he have..."

"That's right...Gu is just daydreaming!"

"Don't say that. I heard that Master Situ thinks highly of this kid."

"I think it's because of the Ninth Elder's respect."

"That makes sense..."

"I want to see what will happen when this kid struggles for a few months and ends up with nothing, not even being able to refine a single pill..."

"Haha, now that Senior Brother mentioned that, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Many people also followed suit and were not optimistic about Gu Yuan's alchemy.

Among the people present, more than 70% are disciples from aristocratic families.

He really dislikes Gu Yuan, a disciple of the sect who has become famous in recent times. No matter how he looks at him, he doesn't like him.
