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

Chapter 66: Turtle Hunt! Strange Things!

Gu Yuan could feel that his control over his body had become stronger, and even his bones seemed to have become lighter, becoming harder and lighter.

scoff!

He swung out with his palm, making a dull sound, and the air could faintly hear the sound of cloth tearing.

It was as if this was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but had become an iron whip!
A random pull could cause broken bones and blood to fly everywhere.

"Hmm, the power seems to be a bit stronger, the penetration power is stronger, and even the speed is a bit faster..."

Gu Yuan felt the changes in his body.

The effect of this Blood Jade Bone Refining Pill is indeed quite good, if he were to rely solely on himself to refine his bones bit by bit.

I'm afraid it will take at least several months to achieve this effect.

If it were someone with dull talents, they might not be able to make such progress even after several years or even decades.

You may even be stuck in the bone refining stage for your entire life and make no progress.

"Playing with real money is awesome...but it's a bit expensive, most people can't afford it."

Gu Yuan sighed, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

Although most of the medicinal power of this Blood Jade Bone Tempering Pill had been digested by him, a considerable portion of it still remained in his body.

In the next two days, he should not need to take the Blood Jade Bone Tempering Pill anymore.

……

After finishing his training, Gu Yuan left the yard and headed straight for Tianshui Lane.

He planned to find the scholar Lin Zhou to find out where the old turtle was.

The superior martial art "Xuangui Cangjia Gong" is no less powerful than the "Golden Snake Swallowing Yuan Gong" he practiced. In fact, because it is a horizontal martial art, it may even take longer to practice.

If he relied on his slow and steady practice, even though Gu Yuan had already started to refine his bones, had a strong physique, abundant Qi and blood, and a good foundation, it would still take three to five months, or even a year and a half, to achieve something.

Gu Yuan couldn't wait that long.

So of course we have to take shortcuts!
Walking on the street, Gu Yuan noticed that there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road, and from time to time he could see a few constables and yamen runners hurriedly passing by.

The martial artists who were holding knives and swords were also stopped and questioned.

This is obviously his fault!
What happened in the Qian Mansion, especially the death of Qian Cheng, has touched the nerves of many people!

Some of the gentlemen were probably frightened.

Because Gu Yuan carried a sword, he would occasionally be questioned by patrolling police on the streets.

Fortunately, he looks young and handsome, and doesn't look like a bad guy. Normal people would not think that he has any connection with the notorious villain like "Yan Shisan".

Of course, if it were someone who looked fierce and had tattoos all over his back, that wouldn’t necessarily be the case.

So sometimes, being good-looking can give you an advantage.

Secondly, Gu Yuan had the Yuding Tower's herbalist identity token hanging around his waist. Even if someone had originally thought of taking the opportunity to frame him and exploit him for benefits, they would have given up the idea after seeing this.

After buying a bag of snacks from a roadside shop, Gu Yuan came to a courtyard in Tianshuixiang Hutong and knocked on the door.

"Brother Gu, it's you!"

Not long after, Lin Zhou opened the door. Seeing Gu Yuan, he couldn't help but be quite surprised. He quickly stepped aside and let Gu Yuan in: "Come in, come in!"

"Brother Lin, how are you these days?"

Gu Yuan put the things down.

Hearing this, Lin Zhou smiled broadly. "Thanks to the idea you came up with, Brother Gu, I now often write letters for people, and I've also set up a stall as an embroiderer. Although it's a bit hard work, I've saved a lot of money." He seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Brother Gu, are you here to continue reading today? I remember you've already learned all the characters, right?"

Gu Yuan shook his head: "No, I actually came here today to ask Brother Lin about something."

"I have a friend who likes to raise turtles. Brother Lin, do you know where to find one nearby? It's best to have an old turtle, the more unique the better."

"turtle……"

Lin Zhou was a sincere person, so he was not surprised to hear such a strange thing. He thought about it and replied:
"On the banks of the Qingshui River outside the city, fishermen often catch river turtles. However, they believe they are the incarnation of the river god, and that killing them is unlucky. No one would eat them, so they usually release them after catching them."

"Also, there's an ancient well in the south of the city that's hundreds of years old. I heard there are a few old turtles in it, and sometimes they crawl out to bask in the sun."

"Also, I remember that Old Li from the vegetable market also has an old turtle at home. It's said that it was originally raised by his great-grandfather, and it has been passed down for several generations."

"Several generations have passed away..."

Gu Yuan's face twitched.

I have to say, this Brother Lin is really straightforward...

Gu Yuan memorized all the places Lin Zhou mentioned and was about to say goodbye when he heard crying sounds coming from the yard next door.

The voice was miserable and sad, and if you listened carefully, there seemed to be a hint of fear in it.

It sounds like someone in the neighbor's house has passed away...

However, Gu Yuan noticed that after hearing this voice, Lin Zhou shuddered and looked a little uncomfortable.

Gu Yuan asked doubtfully, "Brother Lin, what's going on? Why are you reacting like this?"

"Uncle Zhang next door is the instructor of a martial arts school. He went out drinking last night and didn't come back all night. When we found him at noon today, we heard that he was gone."

Lin Zhou whispered, swallowed his saliva, and said with a hint of fear on his face:

"Not only was he gone, but when he was found, he had become a dried corpse. The once muscular, eight-foot-tall man had shrunk to the size of a child. Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she fainted on the spot."

"I heard someone say that Uncle Zhang must have been caught by a ghost at night and had his blood and energy sucked out. His body should have been brought back by now."

"Hit a ghost?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan's first reaction was not disbelief, but rather some surprise.

This world not only has cultivators who can fly and hide underground, but also mountain spirits and monsters.

Even if there are ghosts harming people, it is not surprising.

However, Gu Yuan had also read some of the books collected in Yuding Tower, which contained some common sense in the cultivation world.

Ghosts are yin, while humans are yang.

Especially since Zhang is a martial artist with masculine energy that can ward off all evil. His hot blood is as dangerous to ghosts as sulfuric acid is to ordinary people.

Ordinary ghosts not only dare not offend such people, but even avoid them from afar.

Unless they are old ghosts with great skills and strong ghost aura, they may not be afraid of martial artists, sunlight, or any other weaknesses.

But where did this powerful evil spirit come from in Beiliang County?
"Brother Gu, you must be careful."

Seeing Gu Yuan's silence, Lin Zhou couldn't help but remind him:

"I heard this isn't the first time this has happened. A lot of strange things happened in the west of the city a few days ago, like Uncle Zhang's case, and some people also disappeared inexplicably, causing quite a stir."

"There are more and more police officers patrolling the streets recently, not only to catch the thief who killed Mr. Qian, but also to stabilize the people's hearts."
