Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Since the auction ended, Gu Yuan came directly for a magical battle with Ku Quan Hermit on the Life and Death Platform; he surely had his own matters to attend to and did not intend to disturb Gu Yuan overly.

As for other cultivators, some intended to acquaint themselves with Gu Yuan, greeting him, while others wanted to cozy up and flatter him, hoping to probe his origins.

However, Gu Yuan paid no heed to these people. He merely nodded slightly towards Yan Chunyang outside the crowd, and then, Gu Yuan left the place.

Gu Yuan could feel it; at this moment, many eyes were suddenly fixated on him.

But he was not bothered; with one step forward, he disappeared from the spot, even as those cultivators watching him could not discern how Gu Yuan vanished.

At this point, Gu Yuan had transformed back into his original appearance of Chu He and returned to his residence.

Upon entering the courtyard, he waved his hand, activating all the restrictions within this temporary cave mansion.

Then, with one stride, Gu Yuan arrived in the training room.

Speaking of this trip out.

The magical battle to the death with Ku Quan Hermit, resulting in his decapitation, was ultimately a minor affair; the truly significant matter was acquiring several items at the auction where he won.

Gu Yuan immediately took out the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo, then, on the surface of his palm emerged a strand of black-purple light, enveloping the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo.

Accurately speaking, this black-purple light was a strand of Thunder Light, with numerous fine Thunder Lights pervading it.

Yet these Chaotic Thunder Lights, despite being domineering and filled with destructive aura, at this moment, entirely converged together, refraining from releasing any power, instead channeling inward to dissolve the black-gray polluted Demonic Qi above.

Thunder Skill inherently suppresses the yin and evil attributes.

As for Chaos Divine Thunder, being a Great Divine Techniques of Thunder Skill, is highly suppressive to them.

The filthy Demonic Qi on the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo, of intrinsically high essence, likely left by a master at the Yang Spirit level.

Although not in large quantities, the essence was quite stubborn.

Fortunately, the essence of Gu Yuan’s Chaos Divine Thunder was equally high, containing a trace of the Power of Thunder Law, making it quite suppressive.

Thus, Gu Yuan began to painstakingly grind it away.

Gu Yuan exhibited great patience, and having forged the Golden Core, both the power and the control strength of these Great Divine Techniques made considerable progress.

Hence, it took only five days to fully erode one spot of the filthy Demonic Qi.

All in all, after more than half a month, he finally cleared all the filthy Demonic Qi from the Innate Spirit Root.

However, despite this, having been tainted by filthy Demonic Qi for a long time, caused significant loss of Primordial Qi to this Innate Spirit Root, its internal vitality was rather faint.

Attempting to plant it and provide it a living environment might prove to be very challenging.

Unless refining some rare Spirit Medicines, infuse their potency into it, then drawing some Spiritual Spring Spiritual Liquid to irrigate it, might enhance its vital source and enable its survival.

Yet such efforts are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may not necessarily succeed.

Moreover, since Gu Yuan acquired it at auction, he never intended to plant or keep it alive, so he is completely unconcerned.

Next, as Gu Yuan’s mind moved, he released the constraints on the bud of Creation Cyan Lotus within his body.

Instantly, within Gu Yuan’s body, this bud, with its fine hair-like cyan root tendrils, seemingly gaining spirituality, rapidly grew and expanded, spreading along Gu Yuan’s meridians and flesh, extending into his palm.

Next, from the flesh of Gu Yuan’s palm, those cyan tendrils bored out.

These tendrils pointed directly at the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo in Gu Yuan’s hand.

Many fine tendrils directly entwined around the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo.

This Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo, being an Innate Spirit Root, naturally was extremely hard. Though its hardness could not match the nine Divine Golds, it certainly wouldn’t fall far behind.

At least typical attacks from Golden Core Great Cultivators would struggle to destroy it; tougher than Refined Gold Iron Mother and its ilk.

However, under these cyan tendrils, it was seemingly no different than tofu, rapidly being penetrated.

Strands of essence began to be absorbed and devoured by these cyan tendrils.

Though being an Innate Spirit Root, the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo hadn’t developed Spiritual Wisdom, it did possess some instinct.

At this moment, faced with the invasion by Creation Cyan Lotus, it directly erupted into cyan-green light.

This radiance aimed to shatter and expel the cyan tendrils.

Yet, the tendrils of Creation Cyan Lotus proved unexpectedly resilient.

Under these cyan-green lights, they didn’t shrink or crumble but continued extracting essence and vitality source.

Thus, the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo began to weaken at a barely perceptible speed, its surface Spiritual Light also dimming.

After approximately ten days, the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo in Gu Yuan’s hand turned dry and yellow, even the once-green bamboo leaves had long since dried and fallen off.

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, the already withered Innate Spirit Root emitted a cracking sound, then shattered and dropped to the ground, turning into a pile of wood chips.

Meanwhile, the bud of Creation Cyan Lotus within Gu Yuan had transformed, not into its original form, but into a Cyan Lotus.

Yet this Cyan Lotus, only just over a foot high, was softly green; its stalk and root all cyan-green, jade-like, crystal-clear and brimming with spirituality, as if sculpted from nine heavens jade green, full of vitality.

However...

This Cyan Lotus’s flower now was merely a bud, its petals tightly gathered, not blossomed into a cyan lotus flower.

Still, despite this, Gu Yuan could sense the abundant vitality contained within this Creation Cyan Lotus.

Though appearing to be merely a bud, in Gu Yuan’s perception, even a lotus sea spreading across thousands of miles, all living lotus flowers combined could not compare to the vitality housed in this Cyan Lotus.

For it was an Innate Spirit Root, its internal vitality and Primordial Qi belonging to the Innate realm!

Such an Innate Spirit Root, under normal conditions, grows extremely slowly and requires stringent growth conditions.

Fortunately, the environment in Gu Yuan’s Dantian was notably favorable, akin to the Spiritual Spring within a cave mansion’s blessed land.

Thus, the original lotus seed now rooted and sprouted.

Even so, its growth into maturity would still require centuries, millennia in units of time.

However, having acquired the Seven Apertures Clear Bamboo, an already matured Innate Spirit Root, from the auction, though it was inferior to its mother plant, Xuanqing Ancestral Bamboo, it had accumulated substantial power.

Creation Cyan Lotus, drawing nourishment from it, completely absorbed its essence and thus grew and developed itself.

Now, although not yet fully matured, it certainly is nearing the maturity stage.
