Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 348 - 347: Treasure Tower

The expression on You Meng Zhenren’s face was truly remarkable.

One moment green, the next red, constantly changing and utterly astonishing.

She knew all too well the function of the Heart-Questioning Mirror; it could peer into a cultivator’s heart and discern their true thoughts.

Even some Golden Core Great Cultivators from the Demon Dao, who had cultivated to Divine Demon status, would likely find it difficult to resist.

In her own mind, even if a Golden Core Great Cultivator stood before her, they wouldn’t be able to conceal their emotions or thoughts under the influence of the Heart-Questioning Mirror.

Gu Yuan, a mere Celestial Human Realm cultivator, how could he not be affected?

Yes, Gu Yuan had formidable combat strength, able to confront a Golden Core Great Cultivator with a Celestial Human Realm body.

But strength aside, Gu Yuan was essentially still a Celestial Human Realm cultivator!

The greatest difference between a Celestial Human Realm cultivator and a Golden Core Great Cultivator was the essence of life.

Even Golden Core Great Cultivators were influenced by the Heart-Questioning Mirror, so how could Gu Yuan not be affected?

She truly hadn’t expected Gu Yuan to have such an ability...

After a long silence, You Meng Zhenren got up, shot a cold glance at Gu Yuan, and then turned to leave.

She actually had the notion of using force to make Gu Yuan bow his head, but He Ling True Master and Situ Yan were present, and surely wouldn’t just sit by idly.

Moreover, even if she did engage in a fight, she’d have to be able to win.

News had spread from Gu Yuan’s recent visit to Red Dragon Immortal Palace.

It seemed Gu Yuan had acquired some treasure there, causing disciples of Red Leaf Valley and the Three Corpses Old Devil to target him, but in the end, Gu Yuan remained unharmed.

The Three Corpses Old Devil seemed to have suffered a setback.

As for the disciples of Red Leaf Valley, they were completely obliterated, disappearing without a trace, and even the two leading Golden Core Great Cultivators were nowhere to be found.

Many suspected it was Gu Yuan’s doing.

But they also acquired a thorough understanding of Gu Yuan’s power.

Setting aside the two Red Leaf Valley Golden Core Great Cultivators, just discussing the Three Corpses Old Devil, his cultivation level was among the most formidable in the Southern Border Cultivation Realm.

The fact that Gu Yuan could cause trouble for the Three Corpses Old Devil while remaining unscathed meant something that many understood well.

So, You Meng Zhenren genuinely lacked confidence that she could defeat Gu Yuan.

Knowing she couldn’t win, she naturally wouldn’t make a move against Gu Yuan.

It wasn’t just fear of losing; mainly, as an elder, winning was expected, but losing would be utterly humiliating. Besides, starting a fight would probably result in embarrassment, so it was better not to fight from the outset.

Seeing You Meng Zhenren get up and leave, Gu Yuan smiled, knowing the matter was more or less resolved.

Situ Yan also stood up to leave, as he had a batch of Spirit Pills brewing in his pill furnace, and if not for Gu Yuan, he wouldn’t have come here at all.

Gu Yuan hurriedly escorted this elder uncle out and, under Situ Yan’s exhortations, promised to diligently practice alchemy.

Returning to his room, Gu Yuan heard He Ling True Master say:

"In two weeks, we will return to the mountain. Before that, if you have anything to handle, do it quickly."

Gu Yuan nodded, "Yes, Master, I plan to go home and visit my parents."

He hadn’t visited his parents for some time now, so it was about time to go back.

Moreover, if he went to Medicine King Mountain, he would likely have to stay for a substantial period. Gu Yuan thought about it and decided to take his parents along to Medicine King Mountain.

After all, this would make it easier to take care of them, and he would feel more at ease.

Of course, Gu Yuan also decided to find some time later to search for Spirit Elixirs that could extend their lifespans for his parents to use.

After all, as his parents were getting older, Gu Yuan had to find ways to consider their needs.

At his parents’ age, with little knowledge, waning energy, and limited understanding, it was impossible for them to become cultivators.

However, if it was just to increase their lifespan and strengthen their physique with Spirit Elixirs, with Gu Yuan’s current cultivation and status, it was achievable.

Leaving Jade Cauldron Tower, Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then decided to change his appearance, transforming into a middle-aged man with a hooked nose, his expression cold and somber.

Then, he headed to another street, directly towards a shop.

This shop, named "Treasure Tower," specialized in buying and selling various Spirit Elixirs, magical artifacts, spiritual materials, and Daoist scriptures.

It was said that they even had two pieces of magical treasure, considered treasures of the shop, eyed greedily by many loose cultivators for a long time.

Unfortunately, no one had yet been strong enough to purchase the two magical treasures.

Arriving at Treasure Tower, a steward quickly approached and greeted him respectfully, "Please come in, customer."

Gu Yuan stepped into the hall, and the steward beside him chuckled as he asked, "May I ask what the customer needs? Would you like to purchase Spirit Pills, Spirit Medicines, magical artifacts, or spiritual materials? If you’re interested in Daoist scriptures, we have many rare ones at Treasure Tower, sure to satisfy you."

Gu Yuan didn’t hesitate, raised his chin slightly, and said, "I have some items to sell. Call your store’s tributor to appraise them for me."

Noticing Gu Yuan’s bold tone, the steward’s spirit lifted, and he quickly nodded, "Very well, please wait here, and I’ll go right away."

With that, he led Gu Yuan to a private room, poured a cup of Spirit Tea, and then hurried out.

Shortly after, he returned with an elderly man.

This elderly man was thin, with a white goatee, looking almost as if he were about to enter his grave, but his cultivation was not weak and comparable to Gu Yuan’s.

"Customer, this is Old Chen from our shop, known for his precise judgment and familiarity with various treasures."

The steward introduced him.

Gu Yuan nodded but did not stand up, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Chen, my surname is Yuan."

"..."

Seeing this, Old Chen narrowed his eyes first, then nodded nonchalantly, taking his seat, "So it’s Daoist Friend Yuan."

Being cunning with age, sensing Gu Yuan’s cultivation, he knew the cultivator before him was no ordinary person, so he wasn’t bothered by Gu Yuan’s rudeness.

"I wonder what Daoist Friend Yuan wishes to sell."

Old Chen asked in a deep voice.

Gu Yuan said nothing more, directly took out a storage pouch, and handed it over.

"The items are here. Daoist Friend Chen can take a look and, if possible, give a fair price."

Old Chen nodded, saying nothing, and reached for the storage pouch.

Initially calm, given his status and years spent at Treasure Tower, he had seen numerous good items.

But when he saw the contents of the storage pouch, he suddenly straightened up.

Goodness, were there really so many items in there?

Wasn’t that a bit ridiculous?

With this thought, Old Chen quickly emptied the contents, which piled into a small mountain before him.

The steward beside him was dumbfounded, left speechless by the dazzling array of items.
