Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 399 - 398: Sensing the Demonic Trace!

"Many miners and even cultivators in this mining site have actually been targeted by a demon cultivator. Some people have already been marked by this demon. If left unchecked, they will eventually be killed."

Cang Yunfei and the others’ expressions changed drastically. Although this mine produced common ore, its volume was substantial and always received significant attention from the Cang family’s upper echelons.

Especially after the previous incidents, a considerable number of people have been dispatched to guard this place, including some Celestial Human Realm cultivators.

If they were to suffer a complete defeat or heavy losses, it would be terrible news for the Cang family.

Cang Yuncheng was the first to realize the severity of the situation and quickly asked, "Brother Gu, how can we find these marked individuals?"

The culprit behind the scenes must be caught or killed, but before that, they must first ensure the Cang family’s losses are minimized.

Should substantial losses occur, even he would be implicated and held accountable!

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don’t have much information, just that the mastermind uses a bizarre demonic divine technique capable of killing in dreams, likely related to divine soul power."

"If you want to find these people, it’s best to search for a Pure Yang Magical Artifact, or find a cultivator adept in Pure Yang Dao Skill."

Gu Yuan offered his suggestion.

"But..."

Cang Yuncheng hesitated, clasped his fists, and sincerely pleaded, "Time is pressing, and it might not be easy to find either the artifact or someone proficient in Pure Yang Dao Skill. Could I trouble Brother Gu to help..."

"No."

Before the other could finish, Gu Yuan shook his head and refused: "I have more important matters to attend to."

Cang Yunfei curiously asked, "Brother Gu, are you planning to find the culprit?"

"Indeed."

Gu Yuan nodded, thinking that this was also his task. If the Cang family suffered too much, it might affect his mission outcome, thereby impacting his promotion to true disciple.

Given this, he should indeed put in more effort.

With this in mind, Gu Yuan glanced around and flicked his finger. A gust of wind shot forward to strike a distant wall.

Rumble!!!

With a loud crash, the stone wall exploded, and several gray-black, gray-white ores with silver specks fell to the ground.

This scene made several people’s faces twitch in surprise, and they were puzzled.

The stone walls in this mine were as hard as refined steel due to being baptised by spiritual qi and Geng Metal Qi, yet Gu Yuan did it so casually.

If it were them, they would likely need quite an effort to achieve such results, realizing the gap between themselves and Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan then hooked his hand, and the gray-black, gray-white ores with silver specks flew towards him.

Cang Yunfei, Cang Yuncheng, and the others didn’t know what Gu Yuan was up to, so they watched patiently.

They recognized the ores in front of Gu Yuan as Profound Iron Ore and Silver Ore, the former being more common while the latter was more valuable.

Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of dark red True Flame flew out and landed on the ores.

Then, the dark red True Flame quickly expanded, engulfing the ores in a blaze.

Sizzle... Sizzle...

Visibly, the ores began to melt rapidly, with intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

Soon, the ores melted into pools of metal liquid. Under Gu Yuan’s control, the True Flame refined these metals, quickly fusing them together, purging impurities, and leaving only the pure metal essence, forming a mass of silver-white metal liquid.

Under Gu Yuan’s control, the metal liquid rapidly formed into the shape of a flying sword. Then, the power of the dark red True Flame was restrained, and the flying sword swiftly solidified.

Subsequently, Gu Yuan withdrew his dark red True Flame and released a black purple Chaos Divine Thunder. Under the baptism of thunder light, the sword’s sharpness emerged, emitting a fierce and menacing aura.

When the thunder light vanished, only a bright flying sword, akin to autumn water, remained in place, its surface faintly etched with countless dense black purple fine lines.

Clang!

Gu Yuan pointed, and the flying sword landed before Cang Yuncheng, hovering in place:

"Brother Yuncheng, if you don’t mind, you can use this flying sword to find the marked individuals."

"This flying sword, forged with divine thunder, is not inferior to a Pure Yang Magical Artifact in the slightest. It can sense anyone who has been marked."

Gu Yuan’s words held no exaggeration, and he was even humble.

The flying sword itself was of average material but the critical part was the refining with Chaos Divine Thunder.

Though Chaos Divine Thunder wasn’t a Pure Yang Dao Skill, its power and restraint over the Demon Dao were no less impressive, potentially even stronger.

After all, it was a prototype of the famous Great Divine Techniques!

After being refined with Chaos Divine Thunder, despite its low grade, this flying sword was potent, particularly restraining against demonic divine techniques, extremely sensitive to demonic qi, and capable of helping Cang Yuncheng quickly find those marked by the demon cultivator.

"This..."

Cang Yuncheng was in disbelief, but upon examining the flying sword in his hand, he found that its grade had astonishingly reached thirty-two restrictions, making it a genuine Middle Grade Magical Artifact.

The slight terrifying aura it emitted evoked fear and panic within him.

He found it absurd.

Considering Gu Yuan had just started refining the flying sword and completed it within the time to drink a cup of tea.

In such a short time and with material not particularly good, he refined such a powerful artifact. Gu Yuan’s performance showed it was just a casual effort.

If there were sufficient high-quality spiritual materials and attentive refining, wouldn’t it be possible to forge even top-tier artifacts?

Common artifacts, as many as one wished to refine.

They were all Celestial Human Realm cultivators, but the disparity was this great.

Mastery of cultivation was one thing, but being adept in alchemy and artifact refining as well, practically a jack-of-all-trades, made it challenging for ordinary cultivators to survive!

While his thoughts ran wild, on the surface, Cang Yuncheng remained courteous and cautious as he said, "Alright, thank you, Brother Gu. I’ll handle this matter."

Saying this, he hurriedly left the mine with the flying sword.

As for what Gu Yuan would do next, he didn’t interfere since it was clear Gu Yuan intended to resolve this himself.

Given that, Cang Yuncheng didn’t involve himself further in Gu Yuan’s affairs.

Once Cang Yuncheng left, Gu Yuan also stepped forward, heading out of the cave.
