Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Therefore, even though there are many high-value spiritual herbs and materials on the stall, no one dares to cause trouble, instead respectfully asking for the price.

Gu Yuan’s gaze fell on a spiritual ginseng that was as thick as a wrist, entirely dark black in color.

This spiritual ginseng was complete with root and leaf, with a subtle spiral of fine gold threads on its surface, emanating a faint spiritual light, resembling a large black gold carrot.

However, the most miraculous aspect was that most of the golden patterns formed a human silhouette on the surface, resembling a faint small golden figure inhaling and exhaling spiritual Qi from the world.

This indicated that the ginseng had not died, and even possessed a trace of spirituality and instinct, able to absorb and emit primordial Qi according to its instinct, continuing to grow.

Given enough time, there might be a chance for it to truly develop spiritual wisdom and transform into human form, becoming a true ginseng immortal.

And the ginseng immortal, according to legend, is an immortal elixir that can enable one to become immortal.

Of course, now this golden thread Xuan ginseng is still far from being a ginseng immortal, but even so, it is certainly four to five thousand years old, already extremely rare.

It is sufficient to be used as the main ingredient of some spirit pills to refine a batch specifically to enhance cultivation.

Its medicinal power is pure and substantial, even having a significant effect on Yin spirit giants.

It can also serve as an auxiliary medicine, added in the refinement of other elixirs, to improve the pill quality as well, offering multiple uses.

This is because such golden thread Xuan ginseng often grows only up to three thousand years, rarely surpassing this range.

But once beyond this range, it means breaking the shackles imposed by heaven and earth, having a sliver of potential to become a ginseng immortal.

Relative to loose cultivators, this item’s value is undoubtedly greater to some major influences.

Since a loose cultivator could at most directly consume and refine it, or collect other spiritual herbs to specifically invite another alchemy master to refine a batch of elixirs.

However, if this item falls into the hands of some major influences, it can be planted in a spirit field, watered with spiritual water, fertilized to continue cultivating.

Eventually, the enlightened Xuan ginseng will truly gain enlightenment and transform into human form.

It then possesses the capability to refine spiritual herbs, comb the earth’s meridians, stimulate vitality, cultivate spiritual herbs, and accelerate their growth rate among various abilities.

The value it exhibits is much greater than simply transforming it into a spiritual herb.

Hence, now many people have set their eyes on this item.

The old cultivator who just squeezed in beside Gu Yuan solemnly asked, "Dare to ask senior what is the price of this golden thread Xuan ginseng? Can it be exchanged with spirit stones?"

The stall owner, an old man, did not even lift an eyelid and casually said, "I am not lacking spirit stones, as for magical artifacts, those won’t work, magical treasures are acceptable, or exchange for other equally valuable spirit medicines or spiritual materials, hmm, if there are other valuable spiritual objects, that can work too."

After saying this, he fell silent.

Even when someone asked to have a look or offered a high price, he showed no interest.

"I have here a Snow Orchid Tree, two thousand seven hundred years old, its snow scale fruit is greatly beneficial to cultivators of water element, profound yin, lunar, and lesser yin attributed Daoist scriptures, can it be exchanged?"

This time, another middle-aged cultivator, dressed in a brocade robe and wearing a jade crown, asked from Gu Yuan’s other side.

"No."

The old man shook his head without hesitation: "If it were a five-thousand-year-old Snow Orchid Tree, it would be possible, but two thousand seven hundred years, still far short."

"Heh... A five-thousand-year-old Snow Orchid Tree would be worth more than your ginseng, friend, don’t be overly greedy!"

The middle-aged cultivator snorted coldly, clearly a bit displeased.

Yet the stall owner, the old man, didn’t lift his head and said, "This golden thread Xuan ginseng is a mutated spiritual herb, has broken free of its original shackles, possessing a trace of spirituality, naturally its value multiplies several times, how could it be said like you are being greedy?"

"Trading is nothing more than mutual consent, meeting each other’s needs, if we can’t agree, then we simply don’t talk."

Though he was mocked for demanding too high a price, the old man remained unbothered, calmly explaining.

The middle-aged cultivator’s face was expressionless for a moment, then he nodded: "What you say is quite correct, it seems I was a bit too calculating."

After that, he fell silent. However, from this incident, others understood that this middle-aged cultivator was not ordinary, himself a Yin spirit giant, hence they became more cautious, their gazes towards him more wary and cautious.

Meanwhile, others continued to bid.

Gu Yuan did not join in.

Although this golden thread Xuan ginseng was a good thing and Gu Yuan was quite interested, first, its value was too high, secondly, it was not essential for Gu Yuan, even if bought and planted in a cave mansion at the Southern Border, he would have little time to tend to it.

Therefore, there was no need to purchase it.

Before long, someone directly produced a clump of yellow clay to exchange for it, which surprised many, including Gu Yuan.

Naturally, this clump of yellow clay was not merely clay; on it were numerous tiny holes, inside were tiny fossilized worms, yellowish-brown resembling cockroaches, very small.

But these fossilized seeds are essential for cultivating a certain special divine technique and require at least tens of thousands of years of evolution to become their current form.

The old man was clearly delighted to obtain this thing, and opened another wooden box.

Inside the wooden box was a piece of block-like object, about the size of an adult’s fist, exuding a faint earthy aroma.

The old man introduced, "This is a Yellow Spirit I dug up from a deep mountain gorge, originally an ordinary type, however, this piece of Yellow Spirit is much older, a full seven thousand six hundred years, its medicinal power rich, I’m sure everyone understands its value, no need for me to say more."

As he spoke, he gently scraped off a bit of Yellow Spirit skin with his fingernail, revealing the yellow and cream-white interlaced flesh inside, spreading a faint medicinal fragrance that made everyone who smelled it feel thoroughly comfortable.

Gu Yuan couldn’t help but glance a few more times at the Yellow Spirit.

He was naturally familiar with the Yellow Spirit.

When he first entered the path of cultivation, it was by relying on a few Yellow Spirits with shallow years that he gradually enhanced his strength and overcame the predicament of that time.

As for now, ordinary spiritual herbs, have virtually no effect on him, some even negative—because his cultivation now is overly pure, ordinary spiritual herbs, in Gu Yuan’s view, contain many impurities.

Even the old man’s seven-thousand-year-old Yellow Spirit has little effect on Gu Yuan, at most only slightly enhancing his cultivation.

Gu Yuan did not join in the commotion, turned around, and was about to leave.

But just then, his heart suddenly shook.

Because Gu Yuan clearly "saw" his lifebound magical artifact Taiyi Golden Bell, trembling slightly.
