Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan excitedly took a few steps forward and arrived in front of a cyan-green light spot.

He pulled aside the withered grass, revealing a three-inch-long emerald green grass underneath, with thick leaves and serrated edges.

Gu Yuan recognized this item; it was a herb called Jadeleaf Root.

This herb was quite valuable, possessing the effects of healing and detoxification, and Jade Cauldron Tower widely purchased it.

This Jadeleaf Root was at least ten years old, and selling it for one or two taels of silver was definitely not a problem!

Under normal circumstances, herbs like Jadeleaf Root are hidden beneath withered grass and do not have any prominent features, making them difficult to find.

But now, relying on his Little Treasure Seeking Art, Gu Yuan was able to easily find it.

Gu Yuan carefully dug it out and properly stored it.

Then, he went to the locations of other light spots and successively dug out more than a dozen herbs.

Among them were Jadeleaf Root and several other types of herbs.

Although they wouldn't amount to much money, they gave him a sense of accomplishment, and he would occasionally discover some surprises!

This was clearly the joy of gathering herbs in the mountains!

Of course, when others enter the mountains to gather herbs, they are truly gathering herbs!

They not only need to identify directions but also search for herbs all over the mountains and fields, which requires patience and sufficient physical strength, and perhaps even some luck.

But Gu Yuan was cheating.

With a sweep of his gaze, the Little Treasure Seeking Art was activated, and no matter how deeply these herbs were hidden, he could directly find them.

Like a human-shaped scanner.

Moreover, the stronger the spiritual light, the older the herb.

Of course, although this innate divine power was powerful, it seemed to have limitations.

Once it exceeded a certain distance, it would lose its effect.

Gu Yuan estimated that he could only detect spiritual light within a range of one hundred zhang; anything further was impossible.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to herbs, Gu Yuan also discovered other good things.

For example, in a place emitting a red spiritual light, Gu Yuan searched and dug out a pigeon egg-sized stone from the soil.

After cleaning the surface, Gu Yuan discovered that it was an irregular stone.

The surface was uneven and crimson red, but it was warm to the touch, clearly a piece of warm jade!

Warm jade is a special kind of jade that still emits a gentle temperature even in the cold winter months, and it also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood and harmonizing yin and yang.

Some particular wealthy families, once they obtain this kind of thing, often ask craftsmen to carve it into accessories to wear on their bodies.

This item is several times more expensive than gold of the same weight!

After digging out this good thing, the smile on Gu Yuan's face grew even brighter.

But as he dug, Gu Yuan realized that Ah Huang had disappeared.

Squeak squeak! Squeak squeak!

Just as he was about to look for Ah Huang, Ah Huang's cry was transmitted to Gu Yuan's mind through the connection between the two, the cry being quite urgent.

At the same time, a picture appeared in his mind.

The picture was the scene seen from Ah Huang's perspective; it was in front of a ginseng, its two claws rapidly alternating to dig the soil!

Clearly, after being upgraded to a Little Treasure Seeking Rat, Ah Huang could "share" what it saw with its master, Gu Yuan!

Ah Huang's cries were urgent, and Gu Yuan could understand that it had found a treasure and was telling Gu Yuan to hurry over to help.

Following the connection with Ah Huang, Gu Yuan quickened his pace and ran wildly through the mountain forest.

In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Gu Yuan arrived at Ah Huang's location.

Under an old tree, Ah Huang was pacing back and forth in front of a ginseng with deep green leaves, occasionally scratching at it, seemingly quite anxious.

After transforming into a Little Treasure Seeking Rat, Ah Huang's size had shrunk dozens of times, but its speed was much faster, and running around this ginseng, it had simply become a long white shadow.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, it squeaked, urging Gu Yuan to quickly dig out the ginseng.

Gu Yuan used his Little Treasure Seeking Art to take a look and understood why Ah Huang was so anxious.

The ginseng in front of him was now emitting a soft white light, the intensity of which was even stronger than all the herbs he had just dug up combined!

If the spiritual light emitted by those herbs was weak, only a thin layer, then the spiritual light emitted by this ginseng was like a light bulb, and the spiritual light was even purer!

The spiritual light was rich; it was definitely a well-deserved treasure! For a Little Treasure Seeking Rat who loves to collect treasures, this was no less than a box of gold ingots placed in front of a miser, naturally causing it to be extremely anxious!

"The spiritual light is so rich; could it be a spirit herb?"

Gu Yuan was somewhat delighted.

Speaking of which, he owes his current cultivation level to the few spirit herb Huang Jing he discovered on that hillside before!

It can be said that these few spirit herbs are one of the resources that allowed him to cultivate to his current state!

Unfortunately, those few spirit herbs have all been eaten by him, and as for spirit pills, they are too expensive, and Gu Yuan simply cannot afford them.

Originally, he was thinking of finding time to enter the Cloud Dream Mountains to find a few spirit herbs, but he didn't expect that Ah Huang, after being promoted to a Little Treasure Seeking Rat, would immediately find him a spirit herb!

Ah Huang is truly his lucky star!

Next, Gu Yuan took out his medicine shovel and carefully dug.

The roots and whiskers of ginseng are very dense, and the more complete the appearance, the better the quality and the higher the medicinal effect!

Therefore, Gu Yuan dug with extra care, preferring to be slower rather than break a single ginseng whisker.

After a while, a plump, arm-thick ginseng was completely dug out by him.

This ginseng had some human-like features, its surface was jade-white, with a hint of light yellow, emitting a faint herbal fragrance that refreshed the spirit with just a sniff.

Gu Yuan also noticed that there were faint, fine patterns protruding and winding around its surface.

After carefully counting, there were more than thirty.

One mark represents ten years, more than thirty marks…

Clearly, this was a yellow wax old ginseng of more than three hundred years!

This was indeed a spirit herb!

According to Gu Yuan's estimation, although this was not an eighth-grade spirit herb, it was not far off, and it was among the top of the ninth-grade spirit herbs.

Gu Yuan took a piece of moss, carefully wrapped it up, and properly stored it.

It must be said that the Cloud Dream Mountains are a blessed place, and even just the periphery has so many good things.

It is said that in the depths of the mountains, there are many demons, monsters, and even savage remnants, and some spiritual mountains and great rivers are occupied by some cultivation sects, with experts living in seclusion.

Then, in the depths of this mountain range, could there be legendary immortal herbs of longevity, or immortal divine medicines?

Squeak squeak!

Just as Gu Yuan was thinking wildly, he heard Ah Huang scream miserably, and then its entire body stiffened, collapsed to the ground, its eyes closed tightly, and all four paws were kicking.

The cry was shrill and ear-piercing!

"What's the situation?!"

Gu Yuan was initially startled. But he was connected to Ah Huang's mind, and he quickly sensed that although Ah Huang was in pain, it did not have the slightest hint of panic, but rather intense ecstasy, shock, and excitement!

According to Ah Huang's squeaking narrative, Gu Yuan also subconsciously looked towards the depths of the Cloud Dream Mountains.

Then, he saw a scene that made him dumbfounded!
