Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

Gu Yuan had no such concerns at all; his physique was strong, and he was entirely unafraid of the erosion by Yin Sha Qi, and he could easily refine thunder beads.

"These thunder beads are formed by myself using Xuanming True Sha and my own Chaotic Thunder Light. In essence, Xuanming True Sha is not inferior to Chaotic Thunder Light; it even dominates in the thunder beads, with remarkable power, relying on the explosive force of True Sha Qi. Since this is the case, we might as well call these beads Xuanming Shalei Beads."

Gu Yuan secretly gave these thunder beads a name.

Now, however, Gu Yuan had already refined enough Xuanming Shalei Beads, and it was time to return.

Gu Yuan turned around, planning to retrace his steps.

But just before he turned to leave, he heard a few chilling screams.

"Hmm?"

Gu Yuan’s heart stirred, he turned his head to look, and then he noticed in the distance, Yin Sha Qi gathering into cloud-like formations, making this underground world hazily obscure, with dim light, appearing very mysterious.

Yet, from the direction behind and to the right of him, there were faint screams coming through.

Moreover, these screams rose and fell continuously, suggesting that quite a few cultivators were facing trouble simultaneously.

Gu Yuan initially intended to turn around and leave, unwilling to take risks. However, he didn’t know who shouted, "Sha Beasts! There are Sha Beasts!!!"

Then his eyes moved, and he saw that most people around him who wanted to run suddenly turned around without hesitation and hurried toward the direction of the sound.

"Sha Beasts? What are these things?"

Gu Yuan was a bit puzzled, but upon seeing the reactions of those around him, he realized that Sha Beasts seemed to be something good.

Gu Yuan thought about it, reached out, and grabbed someone passing by him: "Fellow Daoist, may I ask why you became so excited upon hearing the mention of Sha Beasts?"

The person Gu Yuan reached out to grab was a middle-aged Golden Core Great Cultivator.

He was slender, with a calm demeanor, rarely smiled, and upon being abruptly stopped by Gu Yuan, his face tightened, ready to get angry and say something.

But as he felt the immense strength in Gu Yuan’s hand, causing his bones to creak, his expression immediately softened, and he chuckled: "Daoyou might not know, but the Sha Beast is a unique being within this Yin Sha Cave. This kind of Sha Beast is formed from Sha Qi, possessing partial immortality and is very difficult to kill."

"Even if you were to kill it, as long as its core Sha Crystal remains, it can absorb Sha Qi and quickly recover."

"The physique of this Sha Beast is strong, and the scales, fur, bones, and claws are rare and valuable materials for refining magical artifacts and treasures. The most crucial part, the Sha Crystal, is a top-grade spiritual object that can enhance the Divine Soul, extremely rare and precious!"

"Sha Crystal? It can enhance the Divine Soul?"

Gu Yuan was stunned upon hearing this.

Among the numerous spirit elixirs in the world, there are those that can strengthen the physique, some can enhance cultivation, and others replenish True Qi and Mana.

All in all, their varieties are diverse.

Yet spirit elixirs related to the Divine Soul are incredibly scarce and precious.

Whenever such an item appears on the market, it is often quickly snapped up and can be said to be exceptionally popular.

Just like Gu Yuan’s previous Celestial King Mind Nourishing Pill, its value was such that even if someone offered a magical treasure in exchange, it would definitely not be traded.

Because the Divine Soul is crucial in the cultivation of Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and even the Primordial Spirit True Immortal Realm.

The stronger the Divine Soul, the more advantages it holds in these realms, offering numerous benefits.

The best example is Gu Yuan himself.

After consuming the Celestial King Mind Nourishing Pill, his Divine Soul was nourished to an incredibly strong level, enabling him in the Celestial Human Realm to possess a thread of Yin Spirit essence.

And now, his Divine Soul is comparable to half a Yin God Giant, indeed bringing various advantages in magical battles and cultivation.

Moreover, the stronger and more refined the Divine Soul, the greater the chance of advancing to Yin Spirit and Yang Spirit.

Thus, Gu Yuan was tempted.

After all, if he could take the opportunity to strengthen his Divine Soul, it would be a rare chance to enhance his foundation, and when Gu Yuan breaks through to the Yin Spirit Realm, there would be no bottleneck.

"Do you know how to use the Sha Crystal? Is it directly swallowed and refined, or does it need to be made into an elixir?"

Gu Yuan asked again.

Directly swallowing... that person nearly broke into a cold sweat; Sha Qi, that kind of thing, swallowing it would be akin to swallowing poison?

He hurriedly shook his head with a smile:

"No need to refine it into an elixir, and no need to directly swallow it; just use mana to refine it."

"Alright, thank you."

Gu Yuan let go of him and thanked him.

Once the person hurried away, Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then maneuvered his escape light and proceeded forward.

In this underground world, although the dim light impacts even cultivators and Golden Core Great Cultivators, those who can come here are far from ordinary people and have a purpose in coming.

Therefore, Gu Yuan saw many cultivators hurriedly rushing forward, but they avoided some of the dense Sha Qi cloud formations and the accumulated Sha Qi liquid on the ground.

As a result, their speed naturally slowed.

As for Gu Yuan, he had no such hesitation, going straight without any worries, directly crushing through any Sha Qi cloud formations he encountered.

Soon after, Gu Yuan stopped, his gaze landing on a corpse on the ground.

This corpse was shattered beyond recognition, covered with numerous wounds, as if ripped apart by some sharp claws, with traces of mana still swirling out.

Moreover, its abdomen had a large hole gouged out.

However, this corpse had been frozen by the chilling Sha Qi, turning into hard and brittle ice.

Clearly, this corpse was that of a Golden Core Great Cultivator, killed by the Sha Beast.

Through the traces left by the Sha Beast on the ground and the corpse, Gu Yuan roughly estimated the size of the Sha Beast.

Continuing deeper inside, before long, loud shoutings echoed from ahead, as if several cultivators encountered a Sha Beast and were now engaged in fierce magical battles.

Gu Yuan approached, glanced around, and saw several cultivators surrounding a Sha Beast in combat.

This Sha Beast looked like a cross between a mandrill and a tiger leopard, with a slender body, covered not in fur but in blue-gray scales, emitting a faint glow, its limbs armed with sharp claws resembling scythes, and eyes exuding a bloodthirsty cold light.

The Sha Beast’s body was long and robust, muscles bulging, incredibly fast, moving through the crowd like teleporting.

In the blink of an eye, it moved from the left to the right, and with a swipe of its claws, it easily tore through the protective magical artifacts and divine techniques of some cultivators, followed by another claw, shredding their bodies apart.

Those Golden Core Great Cultivators fared better, with stronger magical divine techniques and formidable defenses; for the time being, the Sha Beast was unable to breach their artifacts, treasures, and divine techniques.
