Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Although the Jade Cauldron Pavilion in Bei Liang County is only a branch, and not as large as those in the prefectural and state cities, it still has more than ten herbalists, most of whom are martial artists. Together, they are a considerable force.

Gu Yuan is just a newcomer who has just joined. Even if there are good things, how could it be his turn?

"You'll understand this in a moment."

Zhou Zhong smiled mysteriously, but he was being coy and didn't say much. After chatting for a few more sentences, he turned and left.

Gu Yuan didn't think too much and went directly to the second floor where Yang Han was located.

Dong dong dong!

"Sir, your subordinate Gu Yuan requests an audience."

Gu Yuan came to the outside of a room and knocked on the door. Soon, Yang Han's voice came from inside:

"Come in."

Gu Yuan pushed the door open and entered. He saw Yang Han sitting in his seat, writing something with a brush in his hand, not even looking at him.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan closed the door and stood respectfully to the side, not making a sound to disturb him.

After a full cup of tea's time, Yang Han put down the brush in his hand and looked at Gu Yuan. Seeing that he didn't speak, a trace of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, this young man in front of him was not a reckless youth who didn't know anything.

"Huh?"

However, the next moment, his eyes moved, and he noticed something. He was quite surprised and asked, "You have already completed Skin Refinement and become a martial artist?"

It has only been more than twenty days since Gu Yuan obtained martial arts.

It only took more than twenty days to complete Skin Refinement, which is really not slow.

Moreover, he remembered that the martial art Gu Yuan chose at that time was a "Spirit Snake Sword Technique", not an internal refinement martial art.

In this way, this kid in front of him has some secrets.

"Sir, your eyes are like torches. This subordinate recently took an old man as his teacher. I was able to make some progress, thanks to my master's guidance."

Gu Yuan lied without blushing or skipping a beat.

"Well, that's good. Since you have become a martial artist, there happens to be a mission tomorrow, so let's add you to it."

Yang Han nodded knowingly, and the surprise in his heart quickly disappeared.

Skin Refinement is only the first step for a martial artist. It's not a big deal if the speed is a little faster. With his knowledge, he naturally knows that there are many ways to do this.

For example, practicing some evil magic or swallowing certain spiritual pills.

Moreover, Gu Yuan has been buying medicinal pigeons and other nourishing medicinal materials recently, and he knows a little bit about it. In addition, with a master to guide him, it is not surprising that he became a martial artist so quickly.

Dong dong dong!

Yang Han tapped the table and said, "Tomorrow at noon, a batch of medicinal materials from our Jade Cauldron Pavilion will be transported to Green Willow Town. Some of the senior herbalists in our branch have already been assigned to do other things, and we can't spare any extra manpower for the time being. At that time, you will go as an escort."

With that, he handed a contract to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan took it and found that it contained simple information about this mission.

The general idea is that the goods transported in this mission are of considerable value, and he needs to follow as a guard, with his own weapons, and the caravan will take care of food and accommodation.

This transportation mission will take about no more than ten days back and forth. When the mission is completed, he will receive twenty contribution points and five taels of silver.

It seems that this reward is indeed quite generous. At other times, it would not be Gu Yuan's turn at all.

Moreover, Gu Yuan also noticed that there were several people's signatures below this contract, including Zhou Zhong's. No wonder this guy was being mysterious just now. It turned out that he already knew.

Gu Yuan simply wrote his name on it and pressed his handprint. Seeing Yang Han pick up his teacup to drink tea, he tactfully said goodbye.

But after Gu Yuan went out, his brow furrowed.

"This mission is a bit strange!"

For some reason, he vaguely felt that there was something strange about this mission.

The entire Jade Cauldron Pavilion has more than a dozen herbalists. How could it be so coincidental that most of the herbalists were assigned to go out this time?

Moreover, is the reward for a mere ordinary transportation mission a bit too generous?

"Wait, with my current status, what can I do even if I notice something unusual? Can I refuse?"

Thinking about it, Gu Yuan suddenly smiled mockingly and shook his head secretly.

"Since Yang Han personally assigned it, he must know some inside information, and maybe he has some plans. Refusal is definitely not an option. Even saying it out loud might cause trouble for me!"

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan felt a little helpless.

This is the disadvantage of joining a certain force. You must follow the rules. The superiors give orders, and the subordinates have no choice but to obey. Otherwise, there are ways to deal with you.

The only thing he can do now is to be as careful as possible.

The next day, morning.

Gu Yuan came to the front of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion early, carrying a long sword and a package.

At this time, a caravan had already gathered on the street in front of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion.

This caravan has a leader, as well as grooms, guards, cooks, etc., about twenty people, a total of six carriages, and three horses.

Five of the carriages were already loaded with medicinal materials, and only one carriage was empty, but two young maids were guarding it.

As for the accompanying herbalists, in addition to Zhou Zhong, Gu Yuan also saw a thin old man. This man held a pure iron pipe, more than three feet long, and the pipe bowl was about the size of a baby's fist. It seemed that he could easily smash people's skulls. It looked very intimidating.

From this old man, Gu Yuan felt a hint of danger.

Not long after, three more people came out of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion.

To Gu Yuan's surprise, the leader was actually Deacon Yang Han. The other two people behind him were a young man and a young woman.

The woman had a beautiful appearance, willow eyebrows, cherry lips, and fair and delicate skin. She was obviously a rare beauty.

On her slender waist, she also wore a delicate scimitar.

As for the other young man, looking at his appearance, he looked a bit like Yang Han. Obviously, he should be Yang Han's nephew.

However, Gu Yuan noticed that this young man occasionally looked at the girl with obscure eyes, as if he was infatuated with her.

"Are all the people here?"

Yang Han glanced around: "Very good, let me briefly introduce you so that you can cooperate with each other after you get familiar with each other."

He first pointed to the girl and said, "This one is surnamed Xia, her full name is Xia Xiuxue, and she is also the daughter of our Jade Cauldron Pavilion Master."

"Like you, she is also an accompanying herbalist."

Then he pointed to the young man next to him: "This is Yang Jianfei, also a herbalist."

The girl, Xia Xiuxue, took a few steps forward and bowed slightly to Gu Yuan and the others: "Greetings, everyone."

Gu Yuan and the others quickly returned the greeting and reported their names.

It's okay for Yang Han to come along. He can say that the goods are of considerable value and he is personally escorting them for safety reasons.

But the Pavilion Master's daughter is actually here to do a mission, which is rather strange. Gu Yuan became more and more certain of his guess that there was something fishy about this mission!

The Jade Cauldron Pavilion has many branches. Except for the Pavilion Lord of the headquarters, who is called "Pavilion Lord", all the Pavilion Lords of other branches are called "Pavilion Master".

The Pavilion Master of Bei Liang County is said to be a Xiantian martial artist. This person is quite mysterious and has been practicing in seclusion. He rarely shows up, at least Gu Yuan has never seen him.

As the daughter of the Pavilion Master, her status is so noble that it cannot be compared with ordinary herbalists like Gu Yuan, and she does not need to do this kind of mission.

So hearing that this woman was also going to accompany them, anyone with a discerning eye could detect the abnormality.

At least, Gu Yuan found that the old man with the pipe tapped the ashes of his pipe, obviously somewhat vigilant.

Only Zhou Zhong still seemed completely unaware.

The main storyline is about to begin.
