Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities
Chapter 573 - 572: Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill
After all, Gu Yuan, having undergone numerous enhancements and transformations, now possesses a Divine Soul that is no inferior to an ordinary Yin God Giant.
This Red Blood Orchid holds almost no effect for him. Even if he were to consume it and refine it directly, it would serve him no purpose other than as a trade for other cultivation resources.
To say he's tempted, Gu Yuan isn't really moved. Nevertheless, the fact that the other party would present such an item shows their considerable sincerity.
Upon witnessing Gu Yuan's indifferent demeanor, Wu Tan was first bewildered, but then quickly came to understand.
The figure before them is no ordinary cultivator, but rather a miraculous entity rarely seen even in millennia.
There are even rumors claiming he is not some prodigious genius of the younger generation, but a reincarnation of a Yang Spirit powerhouse or even a Primordial Spirit True Immortal-level giant!
Given such a person's nature, being uninterested in this Red Blood Orchid is not particularly surprising.
"What kind of pill is this?"
Gu Yuan cast his gaze upon the dark gold-colored Spirit Pill, raising his voice to inquire.
Indeed, this pill, dark gold in color and about the size of an egg, seemingly forged from metal, is nothing less than a pill.
However, this pill is not for ingestion; it is a Spirit Pill intended for body refinement and is to be used externally.
Let's not forget that Gu Yuan is now a grand master in the craft of alchemy, his proficiency in the art reaching the level of an Alchemy Master, profoundly deep.
Thus, although this pill is somewhat peculiar and rare, Gu Yuan detected some clues about it effortlessly.
The reason this pill commands Gu Yuan's attention is because upon smelling its medicinal fragrance, his previously stagnant body cultivation suddenly experienced rare changes!
This undoubtedly held significant importance.
One must understand, for Gu Yuan's body cultivation to progress at this realm, the only option would be to painstakingly hone his physique day in and day out, year after year.
Though it's steady and stable, the rate of enhancement is rather slow.
Perhaps after several hundred years, his body cultivation could see significant growth, but such a pace is intolerably sluggish for Gu Yuan, thus making it undesirable.
There exist other approaches, such as consuming rare Spirit Medicines and Spirit Pills to refine the body and elevate one's cultivation.
Additionally, travelling to those forbidden regions enveloped in Gang Sha Qi, utilizing its potent energy to hone the physique.
This method also enhances the strength of the physique.
Gu Yuan constantly implements the first method, yet within a short term, results are virtually imperceptible.
Regarding the second approach, truthfully, Gu Yuan is aware of certain Spirit Elixirs that are exceptionally beneficial for body cultivation.
Unfortunately, the brewing of these Spirit Elixirs is challenging, with the mere gathering of numerous ingredients posing a considerable problem, demanding vast time and effort.
Gu Yuan simply doesn't have the leisure for it.
For purchasing with Spirit Stones...that's even more impossible.
Few alchemy masters brew such Spirit Pills, and even if they do appear on the market, they're swiftly snatched away; for Gu Yuan alone, obtaining them is simply improbable.
Even if acquired, ordinary Body Tempering Spirit Pills may not prove particularly effective for Gu Yuan.
The reason being, Gu Yuan's physique has already reached a certain level, requiring nothing short of some Top Grade Body Tempering Spirit Pills to make a real impact.
Regarding utilizing Gang Sha Qi for body refinement, Gu Yuan genuinely contemplated this idea.
Since arriving in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, however, he's scarcely found time to relax.
He's either been busy with closed-door cultivation, engaging in magical battles, auctions, revenge, comprehending swordsmanship and five-element array formations, leaving little time for body refinement.
Moreover, body refinement requires substantial time investment to show initial results.
Contrarily, the Spirit Pill before him unexpectedly demonstrated effectiveness to Gu Yuan; moreover, the Dragon Race is renowned for its rich resources, numerous treasures, unlikely lacking in Spirit Elixirs for body refinement.
If he could transact with them to exchange for such Spirit Pills, that would be an excellent choice.
Indeed, Wu Tan before him originates from the Dragon Palace, his true form being a turtle!
To be precise, a turtle demon that's undergone transformation, a standard feature of the Dragon Palace.
Gu Yuan discerned Wu Tan's nature the moment he laid eyes on the elder turtle.
Regarding the Sixth Prince they mentioned, it's evident he's likely one of the sons of the East Sea Dragon Palace's Dragon King, a True Dragon descendant.
As for the Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Palace, he's an authentic Primordial Spirit True Immortal, an unparalleled figure renowned since ancient times.
Upon hearing Gu Yuan's inquiry, Wu Tan immediately perked up, offering an explanation: "Master Chu, this pill is called the U Jin Dragon Bone Pill, crafted using the Dragon Race's exclusive Dragon Bone Grass as the primary ingredient, supplemented by one hundred and eight types of upper-grade Spirit Medicines, simmered for forty-nine months before reaching its final form. It possesses the capability to refine the physique, yet it's not for consumption but for external use; one must blend it into water, then immerse in the water for a medicinal bath to nourish the physique."
"Dragon Bone Grass exists solely within the Dragon Palace, derived from Snake Bone Grass, incessantly irrigated with Spiritual Spring Water mixed with Dragon Blood, nourished with True Dragon Qi, to transform into Dragon Bone Grass, requiring several millennia to mature completely."
"That makes sense...that makes sense..."
Gu Yuan nodded knowingly, dragons being natural divine entities, with the irrigation combining Spiritual Spring Water with Dragon Blood suggests it inherently contains some Dragon Blood effects, making it naturally apt for body refinement.
Gu Yuan raised his hand to collect both items into his Storage Pouch, displaying a satisfied smile:
"Impressive, the Sixth Prince's generosity is indeed admirable, I'll accept these items."
"By the way, I'm quite interested in this U Jin Dragon Bone Pill, I'm considering purchasing more; I wonder if Brother Wu might have a way? I'm willing to trade Spirit Stones or some Spirit Medicines and Spirit Iron for them."
"Ah?"
Wu Tan was taken aback; he originally intended to invite Gu Yuan, but didn't expect Gu Yuan to express interest in the U Jin Dragon Bone Pill.
Nonetheless, this is advantageous; with desire and demand, certain matters become easier to address.
Wu Tan made no concealment, immediately stating: "To be candid, Master Chu, this Spirit Pill's crafting isn't easy, typically only His Majesty and the various Princes, as well as the numerous princes would have possession. If you wish to acquire them, why not accompany this humble old man to meet the Sixth Prince, and directly inquire with the Prince? The Prince may offer you a satisfying answer."
"Alright, that works."
Gu Yuan nodded.
The other party isn't merely presenting meeting gifts but also extending an invitation, a fact Gu Yuan is naturally aware of.
"Then please, Brother Wu, lead the way."
"Master Chu, you're being too kind, this way please."
"Please!"
