Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 374 - 373: Identity Token

"Replying to the Sect Leader, this disciple is indeed Gu Yuan."

Seeing Yusheng Taoist looking over, Gu Yuan’s heart tightened, and he hurriedly clasped his hands in salute, with a respectful expression, not daring to show the slightest neglect.

Unlike True Monarch Withered Wood and Ancestor Huo Shang whom he had seen before, the Sect Leader in front of him was completely inscrutable to Gu Yuan.

In the eyes of a cultivator like Gu Yuan, looking at a person involves not only observing their appearance but also their spirit!

Because appearance is just superficial, the "spirit" is the true nature of a cultivator.

Although they are both Yin Spirit Giants, in Gu Yuan’s eyes, True Monarch Withered Wood is likened to an ancient tree towering into the sky, with its trunk as sturdy as a heaven-supporting divine pillar, branches spreading for miles, like dragons with claws extended, bark is black and hard, full of marks from the passage of time, emitting an ancient and majestic aura.

As for Ancestor Huo Shang, although what Gu Yuan saw before was not the true body, just an avatar, Gu Yuan could still see some clues.

Ancestor Huo Shang is like a volcano hidden underground, concealed on the surface, harboring endless fire and heat, but in reality, the volcano’s firepower is somewhat depleted.

But in Gu Yuan’s view, Yusheng Taoist appears utterly ordinary, without any aura or divine intent leaking, entirely like a common person.

This is certainly impossible!

How could a common person become the Sect Leader of Medicine King Mountain?

This only indicates one thing—Yusheng Taoist’s cultivation and Dao practice are above True Monarch Withered Wood and Ancestor Huo Shang, deeply concealed, and beyond Gu Yuan’s current ability to perceive.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan became even more cautious, not even daring to ponder unnecessary thoughts.

"Hmm."

Unexpectedly, Yusheng Taoist did not show any other response to Gu Yuan’s earnest salute but simply nodded, indicating for Gu Yuan to step back.

Others were first surprised, then followed by envy and jealousy, showing admiration.

Seeing this situation, Sect Leader Yusheng Taoist clearly has noticed Gu Yuan. What luck and honor is this?!

If he can perform a little outstandingly in the future, he might be heavily utilized.

Especially Li Changqing, whose eyes were faintly tinged with redness from jealousy.

However, although they felt jealous, everyone knew that the reason Gu Yuan could receive Yusheng Taoist’s special attention was due to his previously remarkable performance.

Given Gu Yuan’s past deeds, combined with his displayed talent, he is entirely another Li Changsheng of Medicine King Mountain, and naturally worthy of Yusheng Taoist’s attention and cultivation.

Thus, receiving Yusheng Taoist’s special attention is well-deserved.

"Next."

Yusheng Taoist said.

...

After Gu Yuan moved aside, a maid stepped forward, holding a tray with a bronze token and a storage pouch on top.

"Senior Brother Gu, this is your identity token, which requires you to blood-bind it. Also, you must carry it at all times in the future because many places within the mountain gate, such as the Library Pavilion, Alchemy Room, Medicine Garden, require the identity token to enter. Otherwise, if you force your way in, you will be punished."

"Additionally, this storage pouch contains the Inner Sect Disciple’s standard magical robe and a jade scroll."

The maid explained softly with a respectful expression:

"The jade scroll records the sect’s rules and other important information that you need to know."

"Alright, thank you."

Gu Yuan nodded to express understanding, then reached out to accept the two items.

This identity token should be refined using several types of special Exotic Gold, appearing bronze-colored, with intricate and mysterious restriction patterns carved on its surface, emitting a faint blue light.

An ancient cauldron is carved on the front, while "Gu Yuan" is inscribed on the back.

Holding it in his hand, it feels weighty, with a very substantial texture.

Gu Yuan triggered a wisp of Sword Qi, broke the skin, and dropped a few drops of blood onto it.

Once the bronze token absorbed it, Gu Yuan infused True Qi and slowly refined it.

This identity token serves as proof of identification. However, itself, it’s also a decent lower-grade magical artifact, possessing about thirteen restrictions.

For ordinary cultivators, it can be considered a benefit, as well as a good magical artifact, with considerable defensive capabilities.

Of course, for a wealthy cultivator like Gu Yuan, it’s just average as he can easily break it.

After refining the identity token, Gu Yuan tied it to his waist.

From now on, he could genuinely call himself an Inner Sect Disciple of Medicine King Mountain.

Then, Gu Yuan didn’t pay attention to the gazes around and instead directed his divine thought into the storage pouch, where he saw a magical robe.

It was light blue in color, elegantly beautiful in design, and emitted faint spiritual light.

Also, it is a lower-grade magical artifact, made by weaving Celestial Silk and Five Metal Threads.

Furthermore, it’s a lower-grade magical artifact with sixteen layers of Earth Demon Restriction, boasting strong defensive capabilities.

Without a doubt, becoming a Major Sect Disciple indeed brings considerable benefits.

Not to mention other things, upon entering one receives two magical artifacts, and then there will be other benefits in succession.

Such as a fixed amount of Spirit Rice and Spirit Stones every month, the ability to hire two Outer Disciples, and some Servant Disciples.

Additionally, the cost of hiring Outer and Servant Disciples can be covered by Medicine King Mountain.

There also are certain benefits regarding obtaining Daoist Scriptures and Divine Techniques.

The identity token aside, although this magical robe is a lower-grade magical artifact, its value is in no way inferior to ordinary middle-grade magical artifacts.

After all, compared to offensive magical artifacts, defensive ones have higher value.

Of course, Gu Yuan isn’t particularly interested in these benefits, as his regular items are all magical treasures, with his worst being his Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, his Lifebound Flying Sword.

Even so, it’s a seventy-two restriction layered magical artifact, not a magical treasure yet, but this sword was refined using three kinds of Divine Gold, making it essentially better than most magical treasures in the world, possessing the potential of a Spirit Treasure.

With such a wealthy status, Gu Yuan naturally won’t care much for these items.

Yet, Gu Yuan heard from He Ling True Master that the standard magical robe of a True Disciple is an upper-grade magical artifact, and the identity token is a middle-grade magical artifact. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Moreover, they can obtain materials sufficient to refine a top-grade magical artifact.

They can also acquire an independent mountain, along with ten acres of Medicine Gardens and five acres of Spirit Fields.

Additionally, they can freely select an Earth Tier Daoist Scripture from the Library Pavilion.

Placing such benefits outside would undoubtedly drive many people crazy!

Nonetheless, to Gu Yuan, they are just alright, with little attraction.

As for the jade scroll in the storage pouch, Gu Yuan took it out, scanned it with his divine thought, and immediately knew its contents.

Besides the two sect rules mentioned by Sect Leader Yusheng Taoist, there are also some trivial rules.

Lastly, it includes a map, belonging to the entire Qinzhou, a fairly detailed kind.
