Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 334 - 333: The Mouse Taoist

...

Gu Yuan was enveloped in a layer of water-like light, stepping on a cluster of clouds as he flew towards the direction of Qiongming Market, seemingly slow but actually fast.

He appeared leisurely and showed no sign of nervousness.

Gu Yuan planned to stay in Qiongming Market for a while next.

Since the Red Dragon Immortal Palace emerged, many people must be eyeing this Immortal Palace and those lucky ones who have entered it.

Gu Yuan had many things to attend to, and he needed to find a stable and safe place. Other than Qiongming Market, nowhere else seemed secure enough.

Gu Yuan hadn’t forgotten that this was no longer the Red Dragon Small World but a more dangerous real world, with not just Golden Core Great Cultivators, but also numerous Yin God Giants, Dragon Gate Yang Spirits, and even Primordial Spirit True Immortals.

His gains from entering the Red Dragon Small World were indeed substantial, and some of these gains had long been noticed by those with ulterior motives.

If someone harbored intentions, it would pose no small trouble for Gu Yuan.

Not to mention whether he could solve these troubles; even if he could, it would be a waste of his precious time.

Therefore, Gu Yuan must be extra cautious and hide directly in Qiongming Market to quickly improve his cultivation strength!

In fact, not only Gu Yuan had such a plan; obviously, some other cultivators had similar thoughts as well.

Along the way, Gu Yuan saw some cultivators flying towards Qiongming Market too.

After flying a distance, Gu Yuan’s expression suddenly shifted, and his escape light stopped. His gaze turned and landed on a spot not far in front.

At this position, there was nothing, just empty space.

"Heh heh..."

However, just as Gu Yuan’s voice fell, a soft laugh came from this place: "Boy, I didn’t expect you to see through this ancestor’s Invisibility Technique. You do have some skills."

As he spoke, a figure appeared in that place—it was a middle-aged man, not tall, with a somewhat sharp and monkey-like appearance.

This man’s appearance was peculiar, besides having sharp monkey-like features, his two yellowish front teeth were conspicuous, barely covered by his lips, revealing a lewd smile when he grinned.

He was wearing a baggy green robe, which appeared somewhat comical.

Now, this middle-aged man was fixated on Gu Yuan, his small eyes scanning up and down Gu Yuan’s body, rolling stealthily with a hint of malevolence.

"Mouse Taoist? Is it him?! Run!"

Not far away, some other cultivators who were passing by saw this lewd middle-aged man and fled in panic.

"Mouse Taoist?! Who is he, and why are you so afraid of him?"

Someone witnessed this scene, puzzled, and heard the people nearby explaining:

"This Mouse Taoist is from the loose cultivator community, a Bingzhou native who by chance cultivated several peculiar divine techniques and successfully formed a Golden Core. Because the divine techniques he trained in are quite unique, Mouse Taoist resorted to being a Tribulation Cultivator, relying on his various divine techniques, he has committed numerous crimes and even killed many people. Even some renowned Golden Core Great Cultivators have hunted him, but because of his strong survival skills, he has always remained safe."

"We cannot afford to provoke this scoundrel, better keep our distance."

"Alright, but it’s a pity for that young fellow, he somehow got targeted by this Mouse Taoist, seems like he’s inescapable from disaster now."

"Wait, why does that young man’s appearance look somewhat familiar to me, like I’ve seen him somewhere before..."

"Hey, wait! Could it be that person is... Run! Quickly leave this place!"

...

"Mouse Taoist..."

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes, he hadn’t heard of the name before, but he overheard some passing cultivators’ conversation, which gave him a general understanding of this man’s identity.

"What do you want?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Gu Yuan coldly stared at the man.

"Boy, seems like you should be somewhat famous, fine, I’ll be straightforward with you, you have quite a few treasures on you."

Mouse Taoist grinned, showing off a wretched smile: "Hand them over now, and I might spare your life, how about it?"

As he spoke, Mouse Taoist’s small eyes shifted back and forth between Gu Yuan’s storage pouch and spirit beast bag, filled with surprise and greed.

"Oh?"

Gu Yuan witnessed this and said in a deep voice, "How do you know I have treasures on me?"

"Heh heh, isn’t it simple?"

Mouse Taoist raised his eyes and laughed: "I have cultivated the Treasure Light Spirit Pupil, which can detect the spiritual light of various treasures, naturally allowing me to see multiple treasure lights emanating from you. Seems like you gained quite a lot in the Red Dragon Immortal Palace. Enough talking, hand them over quickly!"

Treasure Light Spirit Pupil?

Gu Yuan’s eyes moved, from its name, he knew it was a special Dharma Eye Divine Technique, somewhat similar to the "Little Treasure Seeking Art" he acquired earlier, capable of seeing some treasure lights and spiritual lights, easily detecting the traces of some treasures.

Seeing Gu Yuan silent, Mouse Taoist believed Gu Yuan was reluctant, and he sneered: "What, unwilling? You, a mere Celestial Human Realm cultivator, dare defy the orders of this old man?"

In his eyes, Gu Yuan was just a Celestial Human Realm cultivator, while he himself was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, so of course, Gu Yuan had no right to defy his orders!

"Just you, wanting my things?"

Gu Yuan sneered, looking at the Mouse Taoist like he was looking at an idiot.

Clang!!!

Then, with a flick of his finger, a strand of silver Sword Light flew out. As its brilliance changed, this strand of Sword Light transformed into forty-nine strands of silver Sword Light, forming a rigorous and fierce Sword Array that enveloped several hundred meters of void, including Mouse Taoist.

Each of these Sword Lights was fiercely intimidating, imbued with a sharpness that seemed to tear through the Divine Soul, and the cooperation among the forty-nine Sword Lights drastically amplified the power of the entire Grand Array!

"What?!"

Seeing so many Sword Lights attacking from all sides, Mouse Taoist’s expression changed dramatically. He never expected that Gu Yuan, a mere Celestial Human Realm cultivator, could possess such formidable Swordsmanship!

Without hesitation, he employed divine techniques, and a grayish light erupted from his body.

In the next instant, with a swift "swish," he escaped the coverage of the Sword Array and even slipped out of its lock.

"This guy indeed has some skills!"

This surprised Gu Yuan.

Given his current Swordsmanship level, he could easily trap ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators within his Sword Array, yet the Mouse Taoist managed to accomplish that.

This alone was enough to prove that Mouse Taoist indeed possessed some skill, and when he executed his Escape Technique, Gu Yuan clearly felt that his Sword Array suffered some interference.
