Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Gu Yuan could feel that his control over his body had become stronger, and even his bones seemed lighter by a few ounces, becoming harder and more lightweight.

Chi la!

He swung out a palm, making a muffled sound, and the air faintly had 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 casual strike could cause tendons to break, bones to fracture, and flesh to fly.

"Hmm, the power seems to be a bit greater, the penetrating force is also stronger, and even the speed is faster by a bit..."

Gu Yuan felt the changes happening in his body.

The effect of this Blood Jade Bone Forging Pill is indeed good. If he had to rely on his own slow bone refining.

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

If it were some people with dull aptitude, perhaps even several years or decades might not necessarily have this kind of progress.

It might even be trapped in the bone refining stage for a lifetime, without making any progress.

"Spending money is just great... it's just a bit expensive, ordinary people simply can't afford it."

Gu Yuan sighed softly, took a bath, and changed his clothes.

Although most of the medicinal power of this Blood Jade Bone Forging Pill had been digested by him, there was still a considerable portion remaining in his body.

For the next two days, he probably wouldn't need to take any more Blood Jade Bone Forging Pills.

......

After finishing his cultivation, Gu Yuan left the courtyard and went straight to Sweet Water Lane.

He planned to go find the scholar Lin Zhou to inquire about where to find old turtles.

The "Profound Turtle Shell Concealment Skill" superior martial art was no less impressive than the "Golden Serpent Devouring Essence Skill" he practiced, and perhaps because it was a horizontal training martial art, the training time might be even longer.

If he relied on his slow, grinding efforts to cultivate it bit by bit, even though Gu Yuan had already started refining his bones, had a strong physique, vigorous 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 he had to take a shortcut!

Walking on the street, Gu Yuan noticed that there were obviously fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally he could see a few constables and yamen runners passing by in a hurry.

Even martial artists carrying knives and swords were stopped and questioned in detail.

This was clearly his fault!

What happened at the Qian mansion, especially Qian Cheng's death, stirred the nerves of many people!

Some wealthy gentlemen were probably frightened.

Because Gu Yuan was carrying a sword, he would occasionally be questioned by patrolling constables on the street.

Fortunately, firstly, he looked young and handsome, not like a villain. Normal people wouldn't think he had anything to do with a notorious villain like "Yan Shisan".

Of course, if it were someone who looked fierce and evil, with tattoos all over their back, that might not be the case.

So it can be said that being good-looking is sometimes very advantageous.

Secondly, Gu Yuan had the Jade Cauldron Tower's herbalist identity token hanging on his waist. Even if someone originally had the intention to take the opportunity to frame him and extort benefits, they would give up the idea upon seeing this.

After buying a bag of snacks from a roadside shop, Gu Yuan, carrying the snacks, came to a courtyard in Sweet Water Lane and knocked on the door.

"Brother Gu, it's you!"

Before long, Lin Zhou opened the door. Seeing Gu Yuan, he couldn't help but be quite surprised and delighted, and quickly stepped aside to let Gu Yuan in: "Please come in, please come in!"

"Brother Lin, how have you been recently?"

Gu Yuan put down the things.

Hearing this, Lin Zhou smiled: "Thanks to the method you helped me think of, Brother Gu, I often write letters for people now, and the embroiderer has also set up a stall. Although it's a bit hard, I've saved a lot of money."

He seemed to remember something and asked: "By the way, Brother Gu, are you here today to continue reading? But I remember you've already learned all the words, right?"

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

"I have a friend who likes to raise turtles. Does Brother Lin know where to find such things nearby? Preferably old turtles, the more unique the better."

"Turtles..."

Lin Zhou was an honest person, and he didn't find it strange to hear such a weird thing. He thought for a while and replied:

"Fishermen often dredge up river turtles near the Clear Water River outside the city, but the fishermen think these are the incarnations of the River God, and killing them is unlucky, and no one will eat them. They often catch them and release them."

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

"In addition, I remember that Old Li's family in the vegetable market also raises an old turtle. It is said that it was raised by his great-grandfather and has seen off several generations of people."

"Seen off several generations of people..."

Gu Yuan's face twitched a little."

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

The newest and fastest novels are on 6_9_shu_ba_._com!

Just as Gu Yuan was about to say goodbye after memorizing all the places Lin Zhou mentioned, he heard crying sounds coming from the neighboring courtyard.

The sound was miserable and sad, and listening carefully, it seemed to be mixed with a hint of fear.

It sounded like someone in the neighbor's house next door had passed away...

However, Gu Yuan noticed that after hearing this sound, Lin Zhou shivered and his face was quite uneasy.

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

"Old Zhang, who lives next door, is a martial arts instructor. He went out for a drink last night and didn't return all night. When they found him at noon today, I heard that he was already gone."

Lin Zhou said in a low voice, and swallowed, with a look of fear on his face, and said:

"Not only was he gone, but when they found him, he had become a dried corpse. Originally a burly man, eight feet tall, he had shrunk to the size of a child, scaring Sister Zhang into fainting on the spot."

"I heard people say that Uncle Zhang must have encountered a ghost at night and had his essence and yang qi sucked dry. The body should have been carried back now."

"Encountered a ghost?"

Hearing this, Gu Yuan's first reaction was not disbelief, but some surprise.

Since this world has cultivators who can fly into the sky and escape into the earth, as well as mountain spirits and monsters.

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

It's just that Gu Yuan has also read some books collected by the Jade Cauldron Tower, which contain some common sense about the cultivation world.

Ghosts belong to yin, while humans belong to yang.

Especially since this man surnamed Zhang is also a martial artist, his blood and qi are strong and yang, which can ward off all evil. That hot qi and blood is as dangerous to ghosts as sulfuric acid is to ordinary people.

Such people, ordinary wandering souls and wild ghosts not only dare not offend, but even have to stay far away.

Unless they are those old ghosts with Taoism, whose ghost energy is as thick as a tide, perhaps they will not be afraid of martial artists, will not fear the sun, and will have fewer weaknesses.

It's just, where did such a powerful evil spirit come from in Northern Liang County?

"Brother Gu, you must be careful."

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

"I heard that this kind of thing has not happened for the first time. Many strange things have happened in the west of the city in the past few days. There are some people who have disappeared for no reason, just like Uncle Zhang, causing a lot of noise."

"The constables patrolling the streets have become more and more numerous recently, not only to catch the thief who killed Master Qian, but also to stabilize the people's hearts."
