Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

The next day.

Early morning, Jade Cauldron Pavilion.

As a shop assistant of Jade Cauldron Pavilion, Zhang San waited at the door for customers.

There were also two other shop assistants beside him, whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.

It was the middle of winter, and although the sun had just risen, there was still a chill in the air.

Zhang San rubbed his hands and stomped his feet vigorously, not in the mood to chat with the two people next to him. He was thinking about whether he should buy himself a cotton coat when he got his salary at the end of the month.

Although Jade Cauldron Pavilion had many rules and long working hours every day, the salary was 20% higher than that of the shop assistants in those restaurants and inns.

This was also something he was always proud of.

As a farmer's son, being able to have such a job in the county town made him hold his head higher than others in the village.

Just then, a handsome young man walked towards him.

Even though it was already the middle of winter, the young man was dressed in thin clothes, with a long sword at his waist. He was slender but not thin.

He had a handsome appearance and fair skin, especially his eyes, which were bright, piercing, and sharp, leaving a deep impression.

Zhang San's eyes lit up, and he immediately greeted him:

"Young Master Gu, you're here so early today. Could it be that you've dug up some spiritual medicine?"

The person who came was Gu Yuan. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Spiritual medicine is not a weed. How can it be so easy to find? But when I find it later, I will definitely treat you to a drink!"

"Oh, what virtue and ability do I have to have you treat me to a drink!"

Zhang San waved his hands repeatedly: "But my father saved a jar of good wine in his early years. If you would be so kind, I'll treat you later."

"Is that so? Then I couldn't ask for more."

Gu Yuan chatted with Zhang San for a few words. The other two shop assistants watched coldly from the sidelines, without saying a word.

It wasn't until Gu Yuan entered the building that one of them smiled and said:

"Zhang San, I can't believe it. You're quite polite to this Young Master Gu."

"That's right!"

Zhang San revealed a smug look: "It's not me bragging, but this Young Master Gu is not simple. He even asked me how to become a medicine gatherer. In less than a month, he gathered spiritual medicine and became a medicine gatherer for our Jade Cauldron Pavilion."

"Come on!"

Before Zhang San could finish speaking, one of them sneered, "No matter how simple he is, isn't he just a newcomer who has only been here for a month? If I were you, I might as well say a few good words to our manager. Isn't that better than trying to curry favor with Gu Yuan?"

"What's wrong with being a newcomer?"

Hearing someone say something bad about Gu Yuan, Zhang San immediately felt a little unhappy and retorted:

"Although Young Master Gu hasn't been here for long, he has always been polite to me and has never looked down on me. But what about the others? Who treats me like anything? Just like your two childhood friends, didn't they used to say that they were as close as brothers and had a very good relationship? But ever since he was accepted as a disciple by a martial master, has he ever looked at you two properly?"

"This..."

The two were speechless and couldn't say anything.

Once a person becomes successful, they start to float and look down on the people around them. This kind of situation is normal.

Zhang San's words left the two speechless.

The three were chatting when they saw Yang Jianfei, wearing brocade robes and carrying a long sword, coming from afar.

However, Yang Jianfei, who was usually unrestrained and proud, had a gloomy and unpleasant look on his face at this time.

One of his arms was wrapped in white cloth, with a faint trace of blood faintly visible on it, emitting a strong medicinal smell.

The three were also accustomed to reading people's faces, so they immediately shut up and greeted him respectfully.

"Greetings, Young Master Yang!"

Yang Jianfei didn't even look at them, and walked straight into the building with a gloomy face.

The three exchanged glances, all secretly shaking their heads.

Although they were shop assistants of Jade Cauldron Pavilion, they were all well-informed.

It is said that this Young Master Yang has been pursuing the Third Miss, and he usually tries his best to appear approachable and easy to talk to in front of them, the servants.

But in fact, who can't see the condescending arrogance that this Young Master Yang reveals in his bones?

I don't know what medicine he took today, but he didn't even bother to pretend.

Someone like this still wants to pursue the Third Miss. What a dream!

The three secretly despised him, feeling a little disdainful.

Suddenly, Yang Jianfei, who had just walked into the hall, retreated and asked in a cold voice:

"Has Gu Yuan been here just now?"

"Ah?"

The three were cursing in their hearts, and when they saw the person involved appear again, they inevitably felt a little guilty and stunned. Zhang San reacted quickly and said with a smile, "He's here, he's here. Young Master Gu just entered the building."

"Hmph!"

Hearing this, Yang Jianfei's face seemed to become even more ugly. He immediately snorted coldly and entered the building again.

This guy really took the wrong medicine. The three looked at each other, feeling a little puzzled.

But what is this guy asking Gu Yuan for?

Looking at his face, it was as if his wife had run away. Could it be that Gu Yuan had offended him in some way?

While they were thinking wildly, a young girl with willow eyebrows, cherry lips, and fair skin walked over.

The three immediately put away their petty thoughts and respectfully saluted:

"Greetings, Third Miss."

"Mm."

Xia Xiuxue's face was a little pale, but she was still in good spirits. She was about to enter the building. Just as one foot stepped over the threshold, she suddenly stopped and turned her head and said:

"By the way, you came early. Did you see Gu Yuan just now?"

"Ah? Young Master Gu?"

The three were stunned on the spot, looking at each other, and even their thoughts began to diverge.

What's the situation?

It's fine if Yang Jianfei asks about Gu Yuan. Perhaps Gu Yuan has offended him in some way, or for other reasons.

But why is the Third Miss also asking?

Logically speaking, although Gu Yuan is a medicine gatherer, he is still just a mountain dweller from the countryside. In terms of status, he is still far behind the Third Miss Xia, and the two of them usually don't have much interaction, right?

Why are you asking about Gu Yuan now?

Wait, Yang Jianfei looked gloomy and depressed just now, as if someone had snatched his wife.

Now, the Third Miss Xia is also paying close attention to Gu Yuan.

Could it be...

Hiss...

The three looked at each other and immediately thought of a possibility, shocked and unable to stop themselves, taking a breath of cold air, causing the surrounding temperature to seem even lower.

Gu Yuan entered Jade Cauldron Pavilion, came to a counter, and paid for a few bottles of pills.

Most of them were medicines to replenish vitality and strengthen muscles and bones, which were barely enough to support his daily cultivation.

After being blessed by the talent "Coiling Snake", his cultivation was already close to the Great Perfection of Muscle Refinement.

At this time, he should strike while the iron is hot and complete the Muscle Refinement stage in one fell swoop, so that he can step into the Bone Refinement stage as soon as possible!

Speaking of which, Gu Yuan's trip on this mission was an eye-opener.

The True Qi clashes of several Innate Martial Masters, the methods of Gu insects and magical artifacts, were unpredictable and mysterious, not to mention these for the time being.

Just the battle between Yang Han and Tie Hu, the two peak Martial Masters of Great Perfection of Bone Refinement, had already made him wary.

If either of these two people came out alone and fought head-on, Gu Yuan would not be sure of winning, let alone an Innate Martial Master.
