Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 387 - 386: Grafting the Yang Spirit? Grafting the Spirit Root?
That means using these over a thousand years to cultivate from an ordinary person back to the realm of Yang Spirit great power.
This method is naturally not easy to achieve.
The first problem is that once the Divine Soul reincarnates, without the power to protect itself, unexpected situations are likely to arise.
For instance, after reincarnation, the child could encounter accidents due to a lack of protective power and die prematurely.
Even if, stepping back, the child in the second life safely survives, attempting to cultivate from a mortal to Yang Spirit great power within such a short time, even with experience, is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Instead, this matter traps him in an even more powerless and awkward situation.
Even if the two issues mentioned above are resolved, there’s another problem.
Being here at Zhurong Peak is fine for now, but once he disappears, it will certainly arouse the investigation of those with intentions, and he may become a target...
Therefore, this method of reincarnation is also not advisable.
There are other methods, but they ultimately treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and could even require paying a heavy price.
As for Gu Yuan’s method, to be honest, although it’s simple, after careful consideration, its feasibility is quite substantial.
Because his current situation actually matches the peach tree mentioned by Gu Yuan.
Just find another tree to graft and take its nutrients to nourish oneself.
Thinking of this, Ancestor Danxia’s interest grew further, he looked at Gu Yuan and subtly hinted, "Your peach tree at home can easily graft onto any other fruit tree, but my peach tree, wanting to graft onto a fruit tree, is not so easy."
As he spoke, Ancestor Danxia’s face revealed a few shades of coldness, and a hint of killing intent flashed unmistakably in his eyes.
"Uh..."
Gu Yuan’s expression turned peculiar, faintly feeling that the Ancestor might have misunderstood something, so he said, "Disciple thinks that if you’re looking for another fruit tree, you can actually start from the Spirit Root aspect, there’s no need to take risks offending anyone."
"After all, top-tier Spirit Roots in this world are rare, but with your identity, Ancestor, obtaining one shouldn’t take too much effort."
Gu Yuan actually realized that Ancestor Danxia mistakenly thought the grafted ’fruit tree’ meant other Yang Spirit great powers.
But Gu Yuan’s intention was not about Yang Spirit great powers, but referring to genuine Spirit Roots.
"Spirit Root?"
Ancestor Danxia was taken aback and noticed his lapse.
"Yes, Ancestor, you cultivate the Dao of Fire and Wood, therefore the boy thinks you can search for a top Spirit Root of Fire and Wood attribute, refine it as reliance, and utilize the Spirit Root’s characteristics of endless vitality and rich Innate Spiritual Mechanism to consolidate your foundation and strengthen your essence. In this way, the problem might be solved."
Gu Yuan nodded repeatedly, genuinely, he didn’t intend for his Ancestor to target other Yang Spirit great powers; he simply wanted Ancestor Danxia to find and refine a top Spirit Root for "grafting".
Unexpectedly, this Ancestor was so domineering, thinking directly about targeting other Yang Spirit great powers.
"Hmm, you have a point..."
Ancestor Danxia nodded, thinking Gu Yuan’s method was pretty good.
As for his misunderstanding, he didn’t feel embarrassed.
After all, the idea provided by Gu Yuan, whether it’s a grafting with other Yang Spirit great powers or a top Spirit Root, is a good way to solve the problem.
"Alright, your method is actually a good line of thinking for me. Though simple, I really hadn’t thought of such a method."
Ancient Danxia didn’t dwell in the topic, smiled at Gu Yuan and said, "In any case, I should thank you."
Gu Yuan shook his head, not taking credit: "Ancestor, you’re too kind; this is a disciple’s duty."
Not to mention this person has become his backing, not to mention today he received so many benefits and guidance, Gu Yuan memorized it in heart.
This Ancestor is truly an open-minded person.
Since that’s the case, then Gu Yuan cannot shirk his duty.
"Haha, yes, duty... haha, duty..."
Listening to Gu Yuan’s words, the smile on Ancestor Danxia’s face gained a complex connotation: "It is indeed duty, but the reason man is man is that thoughts are ever-changing, who knows what one thinks behind that smiling face..."
Gu Yuan wisely remained silent, faintly feeling that Ancestor Danxia was hinting at something.
"Alright, you can return for now on this matter."
Ancestor Danxia waved his hand, signaling Gu Yuan to go back.
Gu Yuan didn’t say more, bowed, and then turned to leave.
"Gu kid, you are currently still at the status of an Inner Sect Disciple, right?"
Gu Yuan had just walked a few steps when he heard the voice of Ancestor Danxia.
Gu Yuan halted his steps, turned and responded quickly: "What Ancestor said is correct, I am indeed an Inner Sect Disciple."
"With your current cultivation strength, coupled with talent and enlightenment, you are more than qualified to become a True Disciple of Medicine King Mountain."
Ancestor Danxia pulled out a Jade Token and directly tossed it to Gu Yuan: "Tomorrow, take this token of mine to apply to be a True Disciple."
"Ah?"
Gu Yuan took the Jade Token and saw its simple pattern, with the characters "Danxia" engraved on the front, couldn’t help but pause, remembering Sun Zhong from before:
"Is this token the thing that can directly make a disciple a True Disciple?"
If he remembers correctly, when Sun Zhong joined Medicine King Mountain, it was through the skill of Purple Mist True Master, especially the backing of Zhuque God Monarch, directly allowing him to become a True Disciple from an ordinary person.
In essence, Zhuque God Monarch appreciated Sun Zhong’s own outstanding talent, and so directly promoted him to True Disciple. But as for what’s truly on the minds of the elders and disciples of Medicine King Mountain, nobody knows.
"Being a Supreme Elder, I indeed have the qualification to recommend a disciple to become a True Disciple."
Ancestor Danxia nodded and said, "However, the Jade Token I gave you can only exempt you from the first two tests for True Disciple, but to truly become a True Disciple, you must pass the last test."
"I am not someone who bends the rules, but your cultivation and strength, along with your qualifications and talents, both prove that you are fully qualified to become a True Disciple."
"But the reason I do this is because you need to do something; you need to prove yourself to the Sect Leader, the elders, and the other disciples. Do you understand what I mean?"
Meeting Ancestor Danxia’s seemingly calm but in fact sharp and hidden gaze, Gu Yuan nodded, speaking softly, "Disciple understands." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Gu Yuan naturally understood the meaning behind Ancestor Danxia’s words.
