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

Chapter 245: I’m not afraid of comparing goods, I’m just afraid of comparing people!

However, Situ Yan was not the kind of old-fashioned and serious person. He did not care about Gu Yuan's rude behavior. Instead, he knew that Gu Yuan was showing his trust in him. He smiled and said, "How is it going?"

"How is this matter? How can I hide it from you?"

Gu Yuan smiled and then recounted the entire story from beginning to end.

Speaking of the fact that Master Qingmu's soul was scattered and no trace was left, Situ Yan nodded slightly and said nothing.

The look he gave Gu Yuan was full of admiration.

He admired Gu Yuan from the very beginning. Later, when he learned about Gu Yuan's talent in alchemy, he even planned to take him in as his disciple.

However, no one expected that Gu Yuan not only had a great talent in alchemy, but also had an exceptional talent in cultivation. Not only did his cultivation level improve rapidly, but even his swordsmanship skills were unmatched by many of his peers.

You have to know that this was the second Jindan cultivator killed by Gu Yuan, and he was a top-grade elixir cultivator like Qingmu Zhenren. This is not something that ordinary people can do.

He asked himself, even he couldn't do it.

For this reason alone, few people in the entire younger generation of Yaowang Mountain can compare with him.

At this moment, although Gu Yuan killed Master Qingmu mainly for revenge, it was also a favor to him and removed a major worry for him.

Therefore, the more he looked at Gu Yuan, the more satisfied he felt.

But when he heard that the Three Corpses Demon appeared and witnessed the incident with his own eyes, he frowned.

Although he was obsessed with the art of alchemy, he was ultimately a senior Jindan cultivator, and his cultivation was not much inferior to that of the Three Corpses Demon. Naturally, he knew some of the details of this demon.

I now understand how difficult this old demon is to deal with.

"Did this old demon say anything?"

Gu Yuan did not hide anything about this and told the whole story of the conflict between him and the Three Corpses Demon from beginning to end.

Situ Yan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Forget it, whether this demon spreads the news or not, it will not affect the overall situation. I will help you deal with this matter, don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's face turned serious. He quickly stood up and bowed to Situ Yan: "Disciple thanks Uncle Master! I will never forget your kindness!"

Killing Aoki Masamune, although given his current status and the fact that it happened for a reason, it wouldn't cause any big trouble in the end, would definitely make him look bad and offend many people.

However, with Situ Yan's help, especially his identity as a member of a noble family, he can help Gu Yuan solve many troubles.

To be honest, Situ Yan was indeed very good to him. He had taught Gu Yuan the art of alchemy before and had given him many pointers. Now he had helped him so much. This was the best thing a direct disciple could do.

Apart from Gu Yuan's parents and his master He Ling Zhenren, only the elder in front of him was so kind to him.

Although Gu Yuan also knew that this uncle-in-law was so kind to him for a reason.

He valued his talent in alchemy, so he wanted to take him in as a disciple, but this actually made Gu Yuan feel more at ease.

"Alright, why bother being so polite with this old man?"

Situ Yan waved his hands, a little impatient, but he was relieved in his heart.

We are not afraid of comparing goods, but we are afraid of comparing ourselves to others.

His apprentice Feng Shaojie was also a child with good physique and talent. He was smart and filial, but compared with Gu Yuan, he was obviously far inferior.

……

Gu Yuan did not stay in Yuding Tower for long. After talking with Situ Yan for a while and asking him some questions about alchemy, he left.

However, Gu Yuan did not rush back to his residence. Instead, he found a secluded place and used the magical power of Mirror Flower Water Moon to create a fake body. After changing his body shape, his real body returned to his residence. As for the fake body, it came to a roadside restaurant with an ordinary face.

He came to the window on the second floor and ordered a pot of old wine and some exquisite spiritual food, but Gu Yuan did not touch the food.

He just took out two wine glasses, poured spiritual fruit wine in them, then picked up a glass of wine and started tasting it.

Not to mention, this spiritual fruit wine is refreshing and cool, sweet but not greasy, and has a hint of mellow aroma. It tastes very good and is really delicious to drink.

After Gu Yuan finished his drink, a figure came to the second floor, walked straight to the opposite side of Gu Yuan, and sat down.

This man was not very old, had a sallow complexion, was not very tall, had average cultivation, and looked inconspicuous.

The sallow young man didn't say anything. After sitting down, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. Then he put the wine glass down and said with a smile: "Daoyou, why did you think of looking for me today?"

Gu Yuan was not surprised by the unfamiliar face in front of him. Instead, he said, "Of course I have something to discuss with you, fellow Taoist."

The sallow young man in front of him, his real identity is Ji Canghai.

Both of them knew each other's identities, but they tacitly addressed each other as "fellow Taoist" without revealing the slightest intention of revealing each other's identities.

Although Gu Yuan had set up a ban in this area.

"Oh?"

Ji Canghai's mind moved, and he also set up a layer of restriction, and then listened to Gu Yuandao:
"A few days ago, I saw the Three Corpses Old Man..."

Hearing this, Ji Canghai's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything.

Seeing Ji Canghai's reaction, Gu Yuan smiled and continued: "This old senior asked me if I knew you and inquired about my relationship with you."

"Of course, I didn't reveal any information. I'm just curious. I've only met you twice, and I've never revealed any flaws. How did he know that I knew you?"

Having said that, Gu Yuan stopped talking and looked at Ji Canghai.

But the meaning was self-evident. He was obviously asking Ji Canghai whether he was the one who revealed this matter.

Ji Canghai was silent for a moment, the smile on his face gradually faded, he nodded and said:

"My uncle-in-law has a cruel and ruthless heart, but he also has some affection and loyalty. However, this affection and loyalty is only superficial. His true heart remains unchanged, and he is a true demon."

"He has no grudge against me. He is just pursuing the supreme path of the devil, so he likes to sacrifice to the gods and demons."

"I have a special talent and possess a seven-aperture exquisite heart. You should also be aware of this. Therefore, he is always thinking about refining me into an exquisite demon."

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's mouth twitched.

Although people in the demonic world are always treacherous and cunning, and often hide ten traps in their words, he actually believed what Ji Canghai said to a point.

Not to mention anything else, in the big sects of the demonic way, training the younger generation of disciples is often like raising Gu, causing them to kill each other, and eventually a Gu King will be born from them.

Even such heinous acts as disciples killing their masters and sons killing their fathers often occur in the demonic world.

What's more, when he first met the Three Corpses Demon, the old demon was impressed by his qualifications and talents, and wanted to sacrifice him to become a Yin Demon.

The lesson from the past is here, so Gu Yuan has no choice but to believe it.

Although I only believed it three-quarters.
