Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Gu Yuan had naturally seen beautiful women.

Leaving aside the unnaturally beautiful women of his previous life, with their airbrushed skin, whitening treatments, slimming procedures, and cosmetic surgeries, just considering this life, Xia Xiuxue, the Third Miss of the Xia family, whom he often saw, was a rare beauty.

Her looks and figure were both top-notch.

But compared to the woman before him, there seemed to be no comparison.

Xia Xiuxue's beauty was merely superficial, limited to her physical appearance.

But the woman before him possessed a perfect combination of appearance, temperament, and charm.

Words like 'beauty that could sink ships and bring down nations' or 'beauty that could shame the moon and humiliate flowers' seemed perfectly fitting for her!

However, Gu Yuan was not a lecherous ghost. Although he was initially stunned by her beauty, he quickly regained his senses. His mind raced, and several questions popped into his head.

Who is this woman? And when did she appear?

Also, wasn't the scene of Big Mouth's upgrade just now seen by her?

The upgrade of a spirit pet involved his most fundamental secret.

If it were discovered, it would be terrible!

Despite his thoughts, Gu Yuan did not act rashly.

In any case, at least one thing was certain.

This woman was definitely not simple!

You must know that the entrance to this cave was always guarded by Ah Huang and Ah Wu.

With the two little ones guarding the entrance, even Heaven-Human Realm experts like Old Chen and Xuan You Old Freak would not be able to enter silently without alarming him.

But this woman had done it!

Gu Yuan shook his head and honestly replied, "Fairy, you misunderstand… I am not a disciple of the Myriad Beasts Palace, nor have I ever heard of the Myriad Beasts Palace."

"Not a disciple of the Myriad Beasts Palace?"

Qin Hongxiu frowned, "Then why are you so proficient in this secret method of refining natal spirit beasts?"

"Natal spirit beast?"

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this woman had seen the close connection between Big Mouth Snake and himself.

He shut his mouth and remained silent, his mind racing, thinking about how to answer this question.

The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Once some words were spoken, they could not be taken back and would reveal his flaws.

Qin Hongxiu keenly noticed Gu Yuan's vigilance and defensiveness and said indifferently:

"Don't worry, I'm just curious as to why you, with your low strength, can subdue so many demon insects and beasts. I'm not interested in your secrets. If you don't want to answer, you don't have to say more."

As she spoke, she glanced at the Devouring Yuan Snake, the Ironback Centipede, and the Little Treasure-Seeking Mouse, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

With her sharp eyesight, she could naturally see that, apart from the Ironback Centipede, the mouse and the Devouring Yuan Snake had both undergone bloodline transformations not long ago.

However, this kind of bloodline transformation rarely occurred in demon beasts. Usually, only when ordinary beasts swallowed some natural treasures by chance would they have the possibility of undergoing a transformation.

When the three little ones were looked at by her, they immediately seemed to have encountered some terrible natural enemy, huddled together, not daring to move.

Even the boldest and usually carefree Ironback Centipede was now curled up in a ball, shivering, its iron hook-like claws curled up, not knowing where to put them.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath and cupped his hands: "Thank you for your understanding, Fairy."

"Actually, there's nothing I can't say. I have a special talent since I was young and am quite skilled at raising insects and beasts. Later, I got some opportunities, so I subdued these few demon insects and strange beasts."

"Is that so…"

Qin Hongxiu seemed to see through Gu Yuan's thoughts, but she didn't pursue the matter. Her nature was inherently aloof and indifferent, and mundane matters could hardly stir her emotions.

Noticing that Gu Yuan was very wary of her, she was not angry.

Everyone had their own secrets, and it was only natural for Gu Yuan to be defensive and vigilant.

In fact, if she hadn't been disturbed by something today, she wouldn't have come here.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally witnessed a good show.

Someone was actually using the Heavenly Demon Dao-Snatching Technique to reshape their body, and after that, she witnessed this kid's wonderful beast-controlling method, which actually allowed a Big Mouth Snake to directly break through the shackles of its race and become a Devouring Yuan Snake!

This was no less than turning a monkey into a human! Transforming a spirit snake into a flood dragon!

Although she could also do this, what was her cultivation level? What was Gu Yuan's cultivation level?

There must be something extraordinary about this kid!

Moreover, Gu Yuan had refined these few small beasts into natal spirit beasts, able to use their innate divine powers to cultivate. This was clearly similar to the inheritance of the Myriad Beasts Palace.

She suspected that this child was a beast-controlling genius from the Myriad Beasts Palace, which aroused her desire to meet him in person.

After a moment of silence, she took out a cyan jade egg.

This cyan jade egg was the size of a chicken egg, oval in shape, and looked crystal clear and jade-like, as if carved from flawless jade, emitting a faint spiritual light.

There were also some fine black and gray lines on the surface, which looked mysterious and unpredictable, like a special pattern.

In the eyes of Gu Yuan, who possessed the Little Treasure-Seeking Technique, the spiritual light emitted by this jade egg was extremely dazzling!

Moreover, it was cyan-jade in color, not only dazzling but also containing a sharp, piercing intent!

Gu Yuan only glanced at it and felt a stinging pain in his eyes, almost bringing tears to his eyes. He quickly withdrew his gaze, not daring to look any further.

But he was quite horrified in his heart.

What exactly is this thing?!

He couldn't even look directly at it!

"This is the egg of an ancient strange insect. I found it in a secret realm. Unfortunately, because of the long time and improper storage, the vitality within has weakened a lot, making it difficult to hatch."

Qin Hongxiu explained and threw it into Gu Yuan's hand, saying:

"Since you have a special talent and are good at raising insects and beasts, I wonder if you can hatch this jade egg?"

[Dao Charm Points + 820!]

As soon as the cyan jade egg entered his hand, it gave Gu Yuan a big gift.

Then, Gu Yuan only felt his hand sink. This small jade egg actually weighed dozens of kilograms!

The jade egg was warm to the touch, and the surface was smooth and delicate, like warm jade.

Even with careful sensing, he could feel a weak and pure life force sprouting within.

"This…"

Gu Yuan hesitated for a moment and was about to say something when several messages popped up in succession:

[You have obtained the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg (Gold). Do you want to consume 1300 Dao Charm Points to hatch it?]

[This egg has weak vitality and insufficient origin. There is a 99.9% probability of hatching failure. Do you need to consume 3900 Dao Charm Points to replenish its origin? Confirm/Reject?]

[Note: Insufficient Dao Charm Points may lead to hatching failure. Please decide carefully!]

…

This Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg is actually of Gold quality!

Gu Yuan was shocked.

He had painstakingly cultivated four spirit pets himself, and even now, only three of them were of Red quality. Compared with this Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, they were obviously inferior!

However, Gu Yuan had also heard of the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly's fame!

It is said that in ancient times, there were strange insects, such as the Gold-Devouring Divine Ant, the Six-Winged Golden Silkworm, the Twelve-Winged Heavenly Centipede, the Blood-Sucking Mosquito, the Heaven-Swallowing Toad, the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly, etc.

Each strange insect had its own unique abilities and possessed extremely terrifying and unbelievable powers! For example, the Gold-Devouring Divine Ant was said to have an indestructible body, extremely hard, and could devour everything, able to bite through anything!

Even divine gold magic weapons and various divine powers and spells could not stop the biting of this divine ant!

Legend has it that in ancient times, an immortal provoked this terrible strange insect and was later besieged by thousands of Gold-Devouring Divine Ants, bitten to death, and even his corpse and accompanying spiritual treasures were devoured!

Its ferocity can be imagined!

There will be two more chapters tonight…
