Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 372 - 371: Sun Zhong’s Background

As for now, only a little over a year has passed, and Sun Zhong has become a genuine Celestial Human Realm cultivator. This cultivation speed is truly incredible.

But thinking about it, it’s not surprising.

Firstly, Sun Zhong’s Five Thunders Body is comparable to an Innate Dao Body, with extraordinarily high cultivation talent, so it’s only natural that his cultivation speed is faster.

Secondly, Sun Zhong became a True Disciple as soon as he joined Medicine King Mountain.

This indicates that he must have received exceptional attention and was heavily nurtured.

With the means and foundation of some powerful figures in Medicine King Mountain, wanting to make Sun Zhong a Celestial Human Realm cultivator in about a year, although not easy, would not be too difficult either.

Of course, compared to Gu Yuan, Sun Zhong’s cultivation speed is obviously still one or two notches inferior.

After all, there’s a gap of two minor realms between the small success of the Celestial Human Realm and its great perfection.

Furthermore, if it weren’t for Gu Yuan’s greater ambition, intending to use the prototype level of Great Divine Techniques in Sword Skill Divine Techniques as the core to advance to the Golden Core, with his current foundation, he could completely choose to directly advance to the Golden Core and have a fairly confident chance of achieving a First-Grade Golden Core.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan, Sun Zhong was also somewhat surprised.

"Gu..."

He hesitated for a moment, seemingly unsure of how to address him, and after some thought, decided to use the previous form of address: "Brother Gu, is it really you?"

Gu Yuan slightly scrutinized this somewhat unfamiliar acquaintance in front of him, only feeling that the matters of the world are truly unpredictable.

The former Sun Zhong, because he couldn’t get enough to eat and was malnourished, looked thin and small, unremarkable in appearance.

Additionally, he was very timid and easily embarrassed.

However, the current Sun Zhong has grown fair and tender, delicate and handsome, dressed in specially made magical artifact brocade robes, with spirit jade artifacts hung around his waist, and his hair meticulously combed.

Moreover, a faint proud vibe naturally emanated from his face. As he was walking over just now, people along the way greeted him warmly.

As for Sun Zhong, his reactions were indifferent, just nodding slightly in response, appearing almost like a completely different person from the Sun Zhong of the past.

It must be said that people often change easily in different environments, especially after a sudden rise in status.

With thoughts flickering in his mind, Gu Yuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Sun, long time no see."

The current Sun Zhong is a True Disciple of Medicine King Mountain, while Gu Yuan is only an Inner Sect Disciple, so upon seeing Sun Zhong, Gu Yuan should call him Senior Brother.

However, upon hearing the words of Senior Brother, Sun Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed:

"Brother Gu can still call me Little Zhong as before, we have known each other since childhood, there’s no need to be formal between us."

The words were very courteous, but Sun Zhong knew very well that the reason he said such things was mainly because of Gu Yuan’s cultivation strength.

Although Gu Yuan is now only an Inner Sect Disciple, in terms of strength, even as a True Disciple, Sun Zhong is far from being a match.

If Gu Yuan were not so strong, merely an ordinary Celestial Human Realm cultivator, Sun Zhong might have a different attitude towards him.

"Alright then." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Actually, after seeing Sun Zhong’s reaction, Gu Yuan also subtly understood this point, but didn’t mind, and smiled: "By the way, where are you heading now?"

Sun Zhong didn’t hide it, directly answering: "To be frank, Brother Gu, I happen to have some questions about cultivation that I need to ask my master."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "If that’s the case, I won’t keep you any longer. Let’s chat another time."

"Alright, Brother Gu, let’s talk another day."

Sun Zhong didn’t seem to have the intent to linger, said a polite farewell, and turned to leave.

Wherever he passed, the other disciples retreated and greeted him politely.

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes at this scene, then retracted his gaze and continued to walk forward, contemplating in his heart.

Sun Zhong’s Five Thunders Body talent is of the world’s top tier, possessing unspeakable cultivation talent and enlightenment for Thunder Skill.

Ordinary Divine Thunder Techniques, in his hands, would take him only a few days to comprehend to about seventy or eighty percent.

Even top-grade Divine Thunder Techniques such as Purple Sky Divine Thunder, Five Elements Divine Thunder, and Eight Trigrams Divine Thunder, if Sun Zhong were to comprehend them, it wouldn’t take too long either.

For ordinary cultivators, it might take a hundred years to get started, but for Sun Zhong, with sufficient cultivation resources, it might only take eight or ten years to achieve minor success!

It’s just that...

Sun Zhong’s talent may be strong, but in Gu Yuan’s current view, it’s just so-so.

Because his own Thunder Skill talent may not necessarily be inferior to Sun Zhong’s in the slightest.

Gu Yuan indeed doesn’t have talents like Five Thunders Body, but he originally tamed a Purple Sky Thunder Spider, successfully obtained the Divine Dao Seed of Purple Sky Divine Thunder, and directly achieved it in one step.

At this time, Gu Yuan’s Thunder Skill talent may not be better than Sun Zhong’s, but it’s definitely not much worse.

Moreover, later Gu Yuan refined Thunder Tribulation Vine, directly sublimating the Divine Dao Seed of Purple Sky Divine Thunder into Chaos Divine Thunder, which is a prototype of Great Divine Techniques level.

This Dao Seed has granted Gu Yuan an astonishing Thunder Skill talent, absolutely not inferior to Sun Zhong.

However, while Sun Zhong is strong, his talent is just talent, not divine techniques.

Sun Zhong wants to master top-grade divine techniques like Purple Sky Divine Thunder, still requiring long-term comprehension and guidance from mentors.

To eventually achieve top-grade Thunder Skill divine techniques and a First-Grade Golden Core, it will still depend on his luck and destiny.

Only if nothing unexpected happens, there is a certain hope.

However, Gu Yuan is different.

Gu Yuan has already mastered a prototype of Great Divine Techniques in Thunder Skill. As long as he uses this divine technique as a foundation to forge the Golden Core, it will definitely become a First-Grade Pill.

Just now, Gu Yuan could sense that within Sun Zhong’s body, he might have mastered several Thunder Skill divine techniques, with a few boasting considerable power, though probably lacking any top-grade divine techniques.

To master top-grade divine techniques and forge a Golden Core, Sun Zhong still has quite a long journey ahead.

As for Sun Zhong, although he possesses the Five Thunders Body, he might not have detected the aura of the Chaos Divine Thunder divine technique within Gu Yuan because, at the moment he met Sun Zhong, Gu Yuan consciously restrained his aura.

Sun Zhong probably doesn’t know that his inner details have been mostly seen through by Gu Yuan. If he knew, his reaction might not have been like it was just now.

Some people watching Gu Yuan’s departing back were muttering, somewhat surprised.

They didn’t expect that Gu Yuan and Sun Zhong knew each other, and their relationship seemed quite good.

...

Several days later, Gu Yuan, along with Li Changqing, Niu Youde, Xia Xiuxue and others, gathered together under the leadership of He Ling True Master and arrived at Jade Cauldron Mountain.

Gu Yuan knew that this Immortal Mountain was the main mountain of Medicine King Mountain and also the Sect Leader’s cave mansion.

Although Gu Yuan and the others had been registered in the sect records and had been acknowledged by fellow disciples,

To truly be admitted to Medicine King Mountain and become its disciples, they still needed to offer worship to the ancestors.
