Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

According to what Yan Chunyang said, this copper bottle contains a trace of the Divine Soul of a Yang Spirit expert, who was also a sword cultivator and mastered the Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques.

Although this expert, due to certain reasons, has lost their Spiritual Wisdom, they still possess extremely powerful combat instincts and can engage in combat, spar, and hone one’s Sword Dao skills.

The pity is that the remnants of this expert’s soul are already on the verge of collapse and can only spar once before dissipating.

Keeping it by Gu Yuan’s side is useless, so he might as well use it now, making full use of its value.

Gu Yuan opened the bottle cap, and soon, a stream of light flew out from within, transforming into a figure.

This figure was surprisingly an older man.

The elder had an ordinary appearance, a thin frame, and wore relatively plain clothes, showing no abnormality.

However, upon seeing this elder, Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised and puzzled.

Because he clearly felt a faint dangerous aura and a sense of familiarity from the elder.

The dangerous aura can be overlooked; it indicates that the elder possesses a strength that threatens Gu Yuan, which is not surprising since the elder was once a Yang Spirit and certainly had extraordinary skills.

As for the inexplicable sense of familiarity...

Gu Yuan briefly contemplated and found the aura on the elder somewhat similar to that of Profound Origin Daoist.

It even had some similarities with the "Primordial True Water Scripture" Gu Yuan had practiced, inevitably leading him to associate certain situations.

Not only Gu Yuan, but the elder himself also felt it.

His expression was wooden, yet a trace of clarity flashed through his eyes, and he asked hoarsely: "Who... who are you?"

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised that the remnants of the Yang Spirit’s soul still retained a trace of Spiritual Wisdom. He silently contemplated for a moment, then flicked his finger, casually sending out a stream of soft and endless Sword Qi to the ground.

With a buzzing sound, the Sword Qi pierced directly through the ground, leaving a bottomless small hole.

"Taiyin Moon Reflected Sword Formulas..."

The elder looked at Gu Yuan and said, "Could it be that you are..."

Gu Yuan said no more and instead took out two purple-green Jade Gourds.

Seeing these two small gourds, a glint of light flashed in the elder’s eyes.

Then, Gu Yuan activated the restriction of the purple-green Jade Gourds, and soon, wisps of smoke emerged and quickly transformed into the figure of Profound Origin Daoist.

"Boy, why did you summon me again, is there something you need to ask me..."

Profound Origin Daoist had not finished speaking when he noticed the elder beside him.

He immediately exclaimed in shock: "Senior Brother Zhang, is it you?!!!"

Gu Yuan sighed inwardly, realizing he guessed right, this elder was indeed from Spirit Gourd Island, and from the sound of it, was even his elder.

Upon hearing the words "Senior Brother Zhang," the elder surnamed Zhang clearly regained some Spiritual Wisdom, looked at Profound Origin Daoist, and instinctively said: "Junior Brother Cheng, is that you?"

Profound Origin Daoist was evidently quite excited and said: "Senior Brother, it is me. What has happened to you?"

Being extraordinary, he quickly calmed down and saw the connection between Gu Yuan’s copper bottle and Senior Brother Zhang, which clearly bore some resemblance to himself.

However, Senior Brother Zhang’s status was obviously much worse, with a broken and incomplete Divine Soul already on the verge of collapse.

Once Senior Brother Zhang uttered Profound Origin Daoist’s name, he returned to a state of being calm and wooden, not responding to Profound Origin Daoist’s speech no matter how he prompted or questioned.

Profound Origin Daoist’s eyes faintly reddened as he looked at Gu Yuan and asked: "What exactly is going on?"

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn’t conceal matters from his master, so he recounted everything from beginning to end.

When hearing that Gu Yuan obtained this from the preceding Sword Son of Heaven-Sundering Sword Sect, who was a Yin God Giant, Profound Origin Daoist was somewhat surprised but didn’t have time to ask about it, instead saying to Gu Yuan: "Find out the origin of this copper bottle."

Saying this, he turned to Senior Brother Zhang and couldn’t help but shake his head, saying, "Your Senior Uncle’s injuries are too severe, beyond saving."

As he spoke, he took out a mysterious black Spirit Pill, pointed it to disperse, transforming it into a gray-black mist that merged with the body of the elder surnamed Zhang.

A moment later, Gu Yuan clearly felt that his Senior Uncle’s Divine Soul significantly solidified.

Evidently, this Spirit Pill was indeed a treasure beneficial to the Divine Soul.

But nonetheless, this Spirit Pill could only tackle the symptoms rather than the root cause.

It’s like a tree; its trunk and roots are already decayed, and the leaves have almost all wilted away. In such a situation, even applying medicine and fertilizing wouldn’t yield much effect.

Moreover, the situation of Gu Yuan’s Senior Uncle was even more severe, with his essence exhausted, his lamp burnt out, and even the oil lamp itself already cracked.

What method can still be used in such a case?

Though the Spirit Pill used by Profound Origin Daoist was precious, it could only temporarily stabilize the status of the elder surnamed Zhang.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and also took out several Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicines known for their healing and nourishing effects on the Divine Soul, handing them over to Profound Origin Daoist.

He even took out a small piece of Soul Nourishing Wood he had obtained by chance.

Profound Origin didn’t stand on ceremony, took all the items, inspected them, and after selecting them, began to treat Senior Brother Zhang.

Even the piece of Soul Nourishing Wood was refined by him using Secret Techniques, transforming it into a pendant that fused into the elder surnamed Zhang’s body, further strengthening his Divine Soul.

After a busy half-day, the elder surnamed Zhang finally regained some clarity, his eyes brightened with recollection of some past events.

Upon seeing Profound Origin Daoist, the elder surnamed Zhang blinked and said: "Junior Brother Cheng, is that really you?! How did you also end up like this now?"

Speaking, the elder surnamed Zhang’s face was filled with disbelief as he noticed Profound Origin Daoist nowadays lacked a physical body, even his Divine Soul appeared quite weak.

Fortunately, compared to himself, Profound Origin Daoist’s Divine Soul was noticeably only weak, with no other issues.

"Senior Brother Zhang, this is a long story..."

Profound Origin Daoist sighed lightly, a complex expression on his face, and said: "Back when our sect encountered calamity, I was fortunate enough to escape under the protection of our master. However, the circumstances were too complicated, ultimately leading to the destruction of my flesh body, with only my Yang Spirit barely escaping, yet heavily wounded, merely managing to recover the injuries till today, but my Primordial Qi took a substantial loss."

"Senior Brother, what about you, after the sect calamity, I thought you were already..."

Zhang Kai slightly shook his head and simply said: "Back then, I was being hunted down, even my Divine Soul took severe injuries, later narrowly escaping, but then I was caught again, with my Divine Soul trapped and subjected to various tortures, forced to reveal the secrets of our Spirit Gourd Island."
