Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Having arrived at a secluded valley, Gu Yuan sat down to rest, a thoughtful look in his eyes:

"Duan Chen, a true disciple of the Star River Sword Sect? Baochan Zhenren of the Gu God Sect… these important figures from the two great immortal sects have already arrived in Shengyang Prefecture. I wonder if any experts from Yaowang Mountain have come?"

"Forget it, their arrival has little to do with me."

Gu Yuan shook his head, ceasing his speculation, and then took out a box.

Opening it, he revealed a cyan jade egg the size of a chicken egg. Its surface was crystal clear and jade-like, as if carved from flawless jade, emitting a faint cyan glow.

It was the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg!

In the past ten days or so, he had painstakingly collected over 40,000 Dao runes. Now, it was time to hatch this Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly.

[You have obtained the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly Egg (Gold). Do you want to consume 1300 Dao runes to hatch it?]

[This egg has weak vitality and insufficient origin. There is a 99.9% chance of failure. Do you want to consume 3900 Dao runes to replenish its origin? Confirm/Reject?]

"Confirm!"

Gu Yuan's eyes were calm, his mind already made up.

Then, 3900 Dao runes were deducted from the pet system.

The Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg before him was enveloped in a pure white light full of vitality.

As the light continuously penetrated it, Gu Yuan could vaguely feel the weak vitality within the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg growing stronger.

When the white light completely merged into the jade egg, a rich cyan light rippled across the surface of the egg.

Seemingly cyan and jade-like, it was actually sharp and profound, with wisps of sharpness beginning to emanate.

It was as if a pure and sharp sword intent was contained within.

This sword intent was exceptionally pure and sharp, as if it could cut through all the restraints in the world!

The profoundness of the sword intent caused Gu Yuan to gain some insights. His "Life-奪ing Sword Art" seemed to be touched, and inspiration bloomed as the essence of this sword art became clearer, flowing slowly through his heart.

Gu Yuan could feel that his understanding and comprehension of the "Life-奪ing Sword Art" had deepened.

It could only be said that the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly in the jade egg was worthy of being a descendant of the ancient rare insect, the Azure Jade Sword Butterfly.

Just a jade egg already had such spiritual response.

As for the butterfly egg in front of him.

If the vitality in this jade egg was like a candle flame that could be extinguished by a gust of wind, then the vitality in the egg now was as strong as a furnace, many times stronger than before.

Beneath the eggshell, a life seemed to be gestating, ready to break out of its shell and be reborn at any moment.

[The origin of this egg has been replenished. Do you want to hatch it?]

"Hatch!"

Gu Yuan confirmed again in his heart.

As his Dao runes were deducted by another 1300, the light on the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg in his hand suddenly dimmed, and the cyan light on the surface began to shrink, dim, and retract.

Crack!

Suddenly, a small crack appeared on the surface of the jade egg.

Crack! Crack!

As the crack continued to expand, more cracks appeared, covering the entire jade egg, making a dense cracking sound.

Immediately afterward, the surface of the jade egg broke open, and a cyan-jade-colored fat worm crawled out from it.

This green worm was about the thickness of a thumb, fat and chubby, a bit like a grub, but it was crystal clear and shiny, with fine black-gray lines on its body, revealing a bit of clumsy and cute feeling.

After crawling out of the jade egg, it didn't even look at Gu Yuan and began to gnaw on the eggshell, making a "crunching" sound.

What crawled out of this jade egg was not an Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly, but a green worm!

However, Gu Yuan didn't find it strange.

Butterflies are the adult state, a mature body, while the green worm in front of him is the larval stage of the butterfly, which also belongs to the growth stage of the butterfly.

Only when the larva grows to a certain extent will it pupate and then break out of the cocoon to become a butterfly!

Although this Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly is a descendant of the ancient rare insect, the Azure Jade Sword Butterfly, it must also go through this process.

[Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly hatched successfully!]

[Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly (Gold)]

Introduction: This is a descendant of the ancient rare insect, the Azure Jade Sword Butterfly. It is a rare spirit butterfly in the world, born with sharp sword-like supernatural powers. When its butterfly wings flutter, it can sprinkle sharp Azure Jade Sword Qi, possessing the terrifying power to break all laws with one sword!

Although this insect is currently in the larval stage, it can still spit out sword light and has good supernatural powers.

To evolve into the Azure Jade Sword Butterfly, it needs to grow into the mature form of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and consume 160,000 Dao runes!

State: Normal

Stage: Growing (1%)

…

"One hundred and sixty thousand Dao runes…"

Looking at the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly larva gnawing on the eggshell in front of him, the corner of Gu Yuan's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

This Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly actually needs 160,000 Dao runes to upgrade to the Azure Jade Sword Butterfly, which is a bit outrageous.

"It's a pity that this is not my spirit pet, otherwise I should have already obtained its talent."

Gu Yuan looked at the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly in front of him, his eyes fiery.

"I didn't expect… you would hatch it so quickly."

A soft voice sounded from beside Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan turned his head and found that an extremely beautiful and peerless figure had appeared beside him at some point.

It was the woman with the surname Qin from last time.

"So it's Fairy Qin."

Good heavens, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly had just hatched, and she had already found this place. This woman is really mysterious… Gu Yuan arched his hands calmly:

"I have been fortunate enough to not fail in my task."

Qin Hongxiu beckoned gently, and the green worm, which had eaten the eggshell and grown a circle larger, had already landed in her palm.

Feeling the vigorous vitality of the green worm in her hand, as well as the faint but pure sword intent contained within, she was quite surprised.

She took a deep look at Gu Yuan and said:

"To be honest, I am very surprised that you were able to hatch it."

Qin Hongxiu was indeed quite surprised.

Even her close friend, a great master of Gu Dao, had said that there was no way to hatch this Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg.

Even when she handed this thing to Gu Yuan before, she didn't have much hope, just a fluke mentality of either success or surprise.

Now, it was hatched by Gu Yuan, a mere mortal who had not yet entered the Dao.

Doesn't this mean that Gu Yuan's attainments in nurturing Gu beasts are even more powerful than her friend?

After a pause, Qin Hongxiu had a jade egg the size of a chicken egg in her hand. The cyan jade egg contrasted with her delicate white hands like suet jade.

"According to the previous agreement, you helped me hatch the jade egg, and now this jade egg is yours."

As she spoke, the cyan jade egg seemed to be held by an invisible hand and gently landed in Gu Yuan's hand.

Gu Yuan sensed it slightly and knew that this jade egg was not much different from the previous one. Although the vitality inside was weak, it could still be hatched if the origin was replenished.

"Thank you, Fairy Qin."

The thing is finally in hand… Gu Yuan was overjoyed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. On the surface, he cupped his hands to thank her.

The Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly egg was such a precious thing. He had always suspected whether the other party would keep their word, but now it seemed that he had been judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's mind.

Great masters, please give me votes.
