Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 403 - 402: Refining the Demon into a Pill!
However, it was for this very reason that Gu Yuan became interested in Meng Yanzi.
Because his Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques was a kind of special divine technique, related to illusion techniques, divine soul, and cloning technique.
In other words, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques had quite a few similarities with the various divine techniques cultivated by Meng Yanzi, or rather his Nightmare Demon!
Since this was the case, Gu Yuan inevitably had some thoughts.
Now, speaking of Gu Yuan, his foundation was quite solid, and he had already mastered the two top-grade divine techniques recorded in the fundamental Daoist scripture "Primordial True Water Scripture," namely the "Taiyin Moon Reflected Sword Formulas" and "Mirror Flower Water Moon."
Moreover, due to the Spirit Pet System, Gu Yuan had also mastered the prototypes of the Great Divine Techniques, including the Chaos Divine Thunder and Eternal Divine Escape.
For this reason, Gu Yuan planned to elevate his sword skill divine techniques, transforming them into the prototype of the Great Divine Techniques. Then to use this as the foundation to forge a Golden Core.
If things continued this way, then ultimately, Gu Yuan would ascend to the Golden Core with three prototypes of Great Divine Techniques, one top-grade divine technique, and several upper and middle-grade divine techniques as his foundation.
Among them, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques was quite special, and Gu Yuan temporarily couldn’t find a good way to elevate it to a prototype of the Great Divine Techniques.
Yet an hour ago, when Gu Yuan searched the soul memory of the Teller Demon Ape, he discovered the existence of Meng Yanzi and the uniqueness of the latter’s lifebound demon, which stirred Gu Yuan’s emotions!
Because from Meng Yanzi, Gu Yuan saw the possibility of elevating his Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques.
As long as Meng Yanzi’s lifebound demon—Nightmare Demon was refined, removing the "impurities" and leaving only the essence needed, which could then be refined into a pill, it might greatly benefit the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques.
Of course, Gu Yuan had never done such a thing, so he wasn’t entirely sure of success.
However, his skills in the Alchemy Dao were not low, and after pondering for a while, he felt this idea was highly feasible, so he decided to give it a try.
After all, even if it failed, there would be no significant loss.
But if it succeeded, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for him.
Most importantly, the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques were also recorded in the Daoist scripture "Primordial True Water Scripture" and shared the same origin with the divine techniques Taiyin Moon Reflected Sword Formulas, providing considerable benefit to him.
Next, Gu Yuan didn’t rush into alchemy but tidied up the remnants of Meng Yanzi’s body, finding the latter’s storage pouch as well.
As for Cang Yunfei and Cang Yuejiao, they were picked up by Gu Yuan, who then headed straight for the dense forest.
From the Teller Demon Ape’s memory, Gu Yuan had some understanding of the dense forest, knowing that Meng Yanzi had opened a simple cave mansion inside.
Gu Yuan had something to do next, so he might as well take over the cave mansion to focus on his affairs.
Not long after, Gu Yuan found Meng Yanzi’s cave mansion. From the outside, it looked unremarkable, but the inside was quite spacious.
Although the overall environment had a somewhat eerie and sinister feel.
Considering it was the cave mansion of a demon cultivator, Gu Yuan wasn’t too surprised.
He waved his hand to unleash a flash of thunder light, and the forceful and overbearing yang energy swiftly spread throughout the cave mansion, dispelling all the yin and demonic energy.
Subsequently, Gu Yuan tossed the two into separate rooms, ensuring they were fine; they were only temporarily affected by Meng Yanzi’s divine techniques and fell into a dream realm, soon to awaken, so he no longer paid them any mind.
Gu Yuan found a room for himself, closed the door, and set several restrictions to alert him if someone touched them. Then he took out the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace and a storage pouch.
As for the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace, not to mention, the storage pouch naturally belonged to Meng Yanzi.
As for its contents, there were quite a few items, including spirit stones, magical artifacts, some spiritual materials and spirit medicine, and other miscellaneous objects.
However, besides these things, there was also a rather peculiar gray-white rib.
Gu Yuan scrutinized it with his eyes, feeling increasingly that this item was peculiar.
The rib was just a small half-section, smooth as jade on the surface, with a crystalline aspect, and upon careful observation, wisps of smoke could be seen faintly rising within.
Gu Yuan extended his divine thought inside,
Sure enough, it concealed a lengthy, profound, and somewhat eerie scripture—the "Nightmare Treasure Manual."
Clearly, this was the demon sect’s Daoist scripture cultivated by Meng Yanzi.
Gu Yuan pondered it earnestly, discovering that although this scripture’s grade was merely celestial tier lower grade, slightly superior to his "Primordial True Water Scripture," it was extremely exquisite, and most importantly, it emphasized aspects like divine soul, illusion techniques, and dream realm.
Although he couldn’t cultivate it, as his foundation was already set and it conflicted with his own foundation, delving into it would surely yield some insights, greatly benefiting his cultivation of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Techniques.
After safely storing away the "Nightmare Treasure Manual," Gu Yuan ignited the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace, and the dark red true flame surged within.
"Ah—boy, stop, spare my life, I..."
At the same time, a faint, yet tragic scream sounded from within. However, before the words could be finished, Gu Yuan cast a spell that immediately silenced Meng Yanzi.
Then, Gu Yuan began earnestly refining a pill, or more accurately, refining a person.
Strictly speaking, Meng Yanzi could no longer be considered a person, but rather a lifebound demon, a mass of primordial qi.
Though Gu Yuan had never dealt with the likes of Yin Demons or Divine Demons before, in terms of alchemy, this was untried territory.
However, Gu Yuan had his own ideas about this.
Whether it be spirit medicine used in alchemy or spiritual materials in artifact refining, it essentially boiled down to refining the impurities away, extracting the essence, and then merging the needed parts to ultimately produce a spirit pill or magical artifact. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
As for the Meng Yanzi inside the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace, fundamentally, it was no different from a piece of spirit medicine, just a mass of primordial qi.
This mass of primordial qi wasn’t of a single kind, and it contained the profound aspects of over a dozen divine techniques.
Attempting to strip away the unnecessary yin, evil, and demonic qi, as well as certain divine techniques, retaining only some things he required, was quite challenging.
Fortunately, Gu Yuan’s skills were adequate, and with the quality of the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace being exceptional, he encountered no real difficulty.
Gu Yuan formed hand seals and cast various spells.
Under Gu Yuan’s control, the dark red true flame within the Nine Flood Dragon Furnace surged, dividing into nine fiery red flood dragons, coiling and scorching with fire.
Under the wrap of the true flame, the Nightmare Demon curled into a ball, its surface flickering with demonic light, trying to resist the fire’s force.
However, it could hold out for a time, but not much longer.
After more than three hours, the surface layer of demonic light had been completely worn away by the true flame.
Even the demonic and yin qi within the Nightmare Demon had been refined away bit by bit by the true flame, leaving Meng Yanzi visibly weaker.
