Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

The Green Shadow Sword Butterfly's intelligence was evidently quite high. It easily understood Gu Yuan's meaning. After conveying a hint of excitement to Gu Yuan, it continued to devour the spiritual herbs.

Gu Yuan knew that it was expressing its approval of the name.

Finding a wooden box, Gu Yuan placed Little Green inside, added a few spiritual herb leaves, and set the box in the shade of a tree before heading to the pond in the courtyard.

Whoosh…

At this moment, Ao Da in the pond sensed Gu Yuan's approach and poked its head out of the water, calmly looking at Gu Yuan and nodding slightly as a greeting.

However, Gu Yuan noticed that Ao Da's growth stage had reached 99%, a slight increase from the previous 98%.

It was only a sliver away from becoming a mature Black Armor Turtle.

Casually handing the remaining half of the spiritual herb that he had just used to feed Little Green to Ao Da.

Gu Yuan gently stroked its head:

"Eat up, eat more. There's more when you're done."

In the past few days, A' Wu, A' Huang, and Big Mouth had not been idle. They had been hunting and searching for spiritual herbs in the Yunmeng Mountains.

The three little ones cooperated well and had quite a harvest. They not only found some spiritual herbs but also joined forces to kill several demonic creatures.

Some of the spiritual herbs and the flesh of the demonic creatures went into Ao Da's stomach.

This was the main reason for its rapid growth.

Ao Da obediently chewed on the spiritual herb, and after being fed some more by Gu Yuan, it let out a low groan, then retracted its head and began to slumber.

Turtles and tortoises tend to be relatively slow, preferring stillness to movement.

Usually, they either basked in the sun or slept.

Now that Ao Da was at a crucial moment, it had become even more lethargic.

Gu Yuan didn't disturb it.

Coming to the tree in the front yard, he sat down cross-legged, then took out a spiritual herb, chewed it, and swallowed it, circulating his true energy and stirring his blood to nourish and refine his bone marrow.

Before long, Gu Yuan seemed to sense something, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked towards the courtyard gate.

Knock, knock, knock!

Soon after, a knock came from the door.

Gu Yuan went forward to open the door, and a beautiful young woman came into view.

It was Xia Xiuxue.

"So it's the Third Miss, please come in."

Gu Yuan smiled, seemingly unsurprised, and stepped aside to make way.

Xia Xiuxue looked at the gentle and handsome young man before her, her expression somewhat complicated.

After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Brother Gu, I must say, you've made me look at you in a new light."

She clearly remembered that the first time she saw Gu Yuan, he was just an unremarkable farm boy.

His cultivation was ordinary, and his appearance was unremarkable.

Yet who would have thought that now, just over two months later, Gu Yuan had already become a Xiantian martial artist.

Looking back at herself, with her father's guidance and no shortage of cultivation resources, she was still stuck in the Tendon Refining stage.

The difference was more than obvious when the two were compared.

Hearing the address "Brother Gu", Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, then smiled:

"Third Miss seems surprised by my breakthrough to Xiantian?"

As he spoke, the two entered the courtyard and sat down opposite each other at the stone table under the tree. Gu Yuan poured tea for her.

Gu Yuan could feel that as he advanced to become a Xiantian martial artist, not only had his own strength been enhanced, but the attitudes of those around him had also changed significantly.

For example, this Third Miss Xia in front of him used to directly call him Gu Yuan, but now Gu Yuan had become Brother Gu.

This was very realistic, but it was also very true.

"Indeed, I am somewhat surprised."

Xia Xiuxue did not deny this.

"My breakthrough to Xiantian actually involved a lot of unknown effort."

Gu Yuan said quietly, not dwelling on the topic, but instead looking at her and getting straight to the point: "However, Third Miss, your special visit today shouldn't be just to complain to me, right?"

"I'm not complaining. Forget it, let's not talk about this."

A trace of annoyance flashed across Xia Xiuxue's face, and then she somewhat angrily took out a wooden box and handed it to Gu Yuan:

"This is a congratulatory gift from my father to celebrate your advancement to Xiantian."

"Oh? A congratulatory gift from the Pavilion Master?"

Gu Yuan seemed a little surprised, but his expression remained calm. He opened the wooden box and found two jade bottles inside.

The newest and most complete novels are at 69shuba!

One of the jade bottles contained a Tiger Bone Marrow Nourishing Pill, a spiritual pill that was very useful for marrow cleansing.

The other bottle contained Yellow Millet Pills.

Gu Yuan didn't care about the former. With A' Huang searching for spiritual herbs for him, plus his current cultivation speed, even without this Tiger Bone Marrow Nourishing Pill, he wouldn't be much slower.

It was the latter that surprised him a little.

Cultivation is a process of constantly sublimating one's physique and spirit, transcending the mortal and entering the saintly.

The Martial Master and Xiantian Martial Master stages, bluntly speaking, are about strengthening the physique and spirit, and cleansing the body of all the acquired impurities and filth.

Only in this way can one be internally and externally transparent, sense the world's spiritual energy, and guide cultivation, laying the foundation for building the Dao foundation.

And in this process, one should try to avoid being contaminated by acquired turbid energy.

Disciples of immortal sects with conditions often eat spiritual pills and spiritual meals.

Spiritual pills and spiritual meals are rich in nutrients, pure in essence, and free of impurities. They are the most suitable food for cultivators!

Conversely, if secular Martial Masters and Xiantian Martial Masters fill their stomachs with grains, meat, fruits, and vegetables, it's fine in the short term, but over time, impurities and turbid energy will accumulate in the body, hindering cultivation and even causing cultivation to regress.

This is one of the important reasons why it is difficult for rogue cultivators to produce dragons.

How can you talk about cultivation if you can't even eat well?

Why do people yearn to join immortal sects and become disciples of great sects?

It's not just because the inheritance of immortal sects is complete and thorough, but also because disciples of great sects have various good benefits and treatments.

In the secular world, who among the Xiantian Martial Masters would know about this?

Many Xiantian Martial Masters, because they are unaware of this situation, have their foundations tainted by the mundane world and then have no chance to reach the Heavenly Human Realm.

As for Gu Yuan, he was also grateful for Old Man Chen's guidance. Nowadays, he also eats demonic beast flesh and spiritual herbs to keep his body clean.

And this Yellow Millet Pill is a relatively common food pill, refined from the essence of yellow millet and mixed with a dozen kinds of spiritual herbs.

Eating one can last for two days without food, and it is also quite beneficial for cultivation.

There should be thirty pills in this bottle, which is enough for Gu Yuan's daily cultivation for two months.

"Since it was given by the Pavilion Master, then I won't decline. I'll have to trouble Third Miss to convey my thanks when you return."

Gu Yuan did not refuse, accepting the items readily, knowing full well that this was Xia Mingyang expressing goodwill to him and buying people's hearts.

But just this little bit of stuff, wanting to buy him over, how is that possible?

Seeing that Gu Yuan's expression was indifferent after seeing the items, without the slightest excitement as she had expected, Xia Xiuxue frowned.

Gu Yuan's performance was clearly different from what she had expected…

She stared at Gu Yuan and said, "Actually, the reason I came to visit today, apart from delivering these items, is also because my father wants to see you."
