Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

"Some things did happen, but they have nothing to do with you. Moreover, knowing too much won't do you any good."

Hearing this, Old Man Chen's expression remained unchanged, only sneering:

"Kid Gu, instead of worrying about this, you might as well calm down and cultivate the 'Profound Tortoise Shell Concealment Art'."

Clearly, he hadn't seen through Gu Yuan's current cultivation level.

Turtles are good at concealing and nurturing.

The word "concealment" in the 'Profound Tortoise Shell Concealment Art' implies hiding and restraining.

Once cultivated to a certain level, one can hide their own vitality, cultivation, and aura, like an old turtle hibernating, reducing the consumption of vital energy.

The 'Black Turtle Shell Concealment Art' is even better than the 'Profound Tortoise Shell Concealment Art'.

At this time, although Gu Yuan had already achieved minor success in horizontal training and great success in bone refining, he had restrained all his vitality, sharpness, and so on, making it impossible for Old Man Chen to see through his true strength.

Gu Yuan was silent for a moment, understanding Old Man Chen's meaning.

It was nothing more than him being a nobody, and knowing too much wouldn't do him any good.

"Is this matter related to the anomaly in the depths of the Yunmeng Mountains?"

But Gu Yuan's next words shocked Old Man Chen's expression, almost making him jump up.

Moreover, Gu Yuan was cautious and didn't mention the word "Immortal Palace", only talking about the anomaly, lest he guess wrong and reveal his discovery for nothing.

Old Man Chen was stunned on the spot, seemingly quite surprised, and then exclaimed: "Boy, how do you know about this?!"

Seeing Old Man Chen's reaction, Gu Yuan understood that he had guessed correctly.

The various disturbances and anomalies in Qinzhou during this period were indeed caused by that Immortal Palace.

"Don't ask too much, old man. I naturally have my sources of information."

Gu Yuan pretended to be mysterious.

However, Old Man Chen didn't suspect him at all. He took a deep look at Gu Yuan, as if he was meeting him for the first time.

Then, he regained his composure and asked: "Since you know about this, why did you come to ask me?"

"Isn't it because I was a little scared when I first heard about this kind of thing? So I came to ask you for advice. After all, you are knowledgeable and experienced, you've eaten more salt than I've eaten rice, and crossed more bridges than I've walked roads."

Gu Yuan said with a smile, flattering him a few times: "Tell me, is it possible that the things in the depths of the Yunmeng Mountains will affect Beiliang County?"

"It's not a matter of possibility, but certainty!"

Old Man Chen said unhappily:

"What do you think that is? That's the cave dwelling of Daoist Chilong, with countless treasures and elixirs, and may even contain the Daoist Chilong's lineage inheritance!"

"The emergence of a Dragon Gate Realm expert's cave dwelling will alarm not only ordinary martial artists and Innate martial artists, but even the elders and the headmaster of my Medicine King Mountain. Moreover, the Gu God Sect, as well as the Yuanming Sect, and some casual cultivators must have already learned about this and made various plans."

"At that time, there will definitely be no shortage of Heavenly Human Realm and Entering Saint Realm experts entering the scene. Even if one or two Yin God giants emerge, I, the old man, wouldn't be surprised."

"Beiliang County, this small place, is one of the closest entrances to the ruins of the cave dwelling. If a master has an evil thought, waving his hand can cause widespread suffering."

Dragon Gate Realm expert, Daoist Chilong… Gu Yuan chewed on the various information revealed in Old Man Chen's words, his expression slightly changed: "If that's the case, wouldn't many people suffer innocent disasters and die for no reason?!"

"Don't worry, kid Gu."

Old Man Chen said calmly: "My Medicine King Mountain is a great immortal sect. This Beiliang County and even Qinzhou are within the sphere of influence of my Medicine King Mountain. If someone indiscriminately kills innocent people, the experts of my Medicine King Mountain will naturally not sit idly by."

"Even the Gu God Sect, a great cultivation sect that is both righteous and evil, although there are some evildoers among them, is generally more particular and will not harm mortals under normal circumstances."

Under normal circumstances, they won't harm mortals… Does that mean that under unusual circumstances, they will harm mortals?

Gu Yuan was silent after hearing this.

He understood the meaning in Old Man Chen's words and also thought of some things.

As cultivators step by step transcend into sainthood, their strength, supernatural powers, lifespan, and even the essence of life will be improved and sublimated.

Because of the differences in strength, lifespan, vision, supernatural powers, and the essence of life, perhaps ordinary people are just like ants and weeds in the eyes of those beings.

Would humans care about the thoughts of ants that can be crushed to death at will? Would they care about the life and death of ants?

I'm afraid that in most cases, they wouldn't…

And those beings with extremely high cultivation, I'm afraid they wouldn't think of themselves as "people" anymore, right?

Thinking about it, it's not surprising. With a wave of their hand, they can topple mountains and overturn seas, and kill countless human beings.

The long life of ordinary people, from birth to old age, sickness, and death, is perhaps just the time for some beings to take a nap or retreat for a single session.

In this case, who would still think of themselves as "people"? And how many would take mortals to heart?

"That Old Freak Xuan You…"

Gu Yuan seemed to have thought of something, but before he could finish speaking, Old Man Chen understood his meaning and replied:

"That's right, that old freak is here for the Chilong Immortal Palace!"

"That old freak's aptitude is a bit poor. He was able to achieve the Heavenly Human Realm by chance. It's just that this old thing doesn't have much lifespan left. If he doesn't want to die of old age, he must go further, forge a golden core, and become a great cultivator in the Entering Saint Realm! But in this way, his foundation and aptitude are not enough."

Old Man Chen smiled coldly, his old face revealing a bit of disdain:

"The Chilong Immortal Palace has all kinds of rare treasures, including rare spiritual medicines that can improve aptitude, roots, and even improve comprehension, which will naturally tempt this guy!"

Saying that, Old Man Chen looked at Gu Yuan and advised: "Boy, the opening day of the Chilong Immortal Palace is probably not too far away, but you shouldn't have any ideas."

"On the day the cave dwelling opens, it will inevitably attract many powerful figures. At that time, the Chilong Immortal Palace will be both a great cave dwelling with countless opportunities and a killing field with blood and flesh flying everywhere. A small character like you will only be courting death if you go. You might as well be down-to-earth and cultivate well. In the future, you may have the possibility of achieving the Heavenly Human Realm."

"You're right, old man."

Faced with this great opportunity, Gu Yuan's mentality was very calm, and he deeply agreed with it:

"I'm still young and have plenty of time. The future world belongs to everyone, but it ultimately belongs to us young people. For me, no treasure is more important than my little life!"

"Even if I miss the opportunity of this Chilong Immortal Palace, it may not be avoiding a major crisis. Moreover, one day, maybe I can become a Dragon Gate Realm expert?"

Although Gu Yuan's words were a bit arrogant, they did sound reasonable.

It's just that Old Man Chen's heart was a little stabbed by Gu Yuan's words, his face turned black, and his hands were a little itchy, with an impulse to get up and slap him.

Young, with plenty of time, isn't that mocking him?
