Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Of course, the so-called Mirage Dragon, although also a dragon species, is ultimately different from a true dragon, only possessing some of the true dragon's bloodline.

Gu Yuan suspected that the Mirage Dragon Pearl in his hand was likely just an inner core formed by a mirage demon possessing the Mirage Dragon bloodline.

However, even so, it was enough for his purposes.

Another top-tier divine ability recorded in his 'Taiyuan True Water Sutra', "Mirror Flower, Water Moon", required absorbing the original mirage essence from the Mirage Dragon Pearl to form the seed of the divine ability, laying the foundation for the future.

This Mirage Dragon Pearl was of excellent quality, sufficient for cultivating the divine ability Mirror Flower, Water Moon.

Seeing that Gu Yuan seemed very satisfied, the white-haired old man felt relieved and introduced with a smile:

"This Mirage Dragon Pearl was left behind by an overseas guest a few days ago. This item is considered the inner core of a mirage demon possessing the Mirage Dragon bloodline, and its price is undoubtedly clear to you, Daoist friend."

Gu Yuan didn't speak, but rubbed the surface of the Mirage Dragon Pearl with his thumb a few times, showing a hint of impatience, and said in a low voice:

"My time is limited, Your Excellency might as well be more straightforward and stop beating around the bush."

The white-haired old man was stunned upon hearing this, realizing that he had been a bit too clever for his own good, and smiled sheepishly: "It was indeed my fault. Very well, I'll be frank then. The value of this Mirage Dragon Pearl is no less than the sum of all your elixirs."

"However, as long as Daoist friend agrees to come to me whenever you have spirit pills in the future, I will take the liberty of letting Daoist friend take this Mirage Dragon Pearl away, and even give you an extra thousand spirit stones."

As soon as these words came out, before Gu Yuan could say anything, the shop assistant beside him was greatly surprised.

The white-haired old man didn't even look at him, but looked at Gu Yuan with a smile.

This condition seemed like he was at a disadvantage, but in reality, these pills that Gu Yuan brought could earn several thousand spirit stones more for the Hundred Treasures Pavilion with just a resale.

Strictly speaking, he was just earning a little less. However, this could be exchanged for the goodwill of an alchemist, and even a continuous source of wealth in the future, making this a very worthwhile deal.

Meeting the other party's gaze, Gu Yuan nodded and agreed straightforwardly: "Alright."

He could naturally see through the other party's plan, but he didn't care.

This matter was nothing more than each getting what they needed, and besides, the price the other party gave was fair.

"Good, good, good!"

The white-haired old man with the surname Shi was overjoyed upon hearing this and repeatedly praised.

… …

"With this Mirage Dragon Pearl, once the Mirror Flower, Water Moon divine ability is cultivated, I will be able to give some people a surprise!"

After leaving the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and walking on the street, Gu Yuan thought silently in his heart.

There were two top-tier divine abilities in the 'Taiyuan True Water Sutra', namely the 'Illusory Moon Sword Art' and 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'.

The former was a relatively pure offensive divine ability, capable of comprehending the Great Dao, while the latter was neither an offensive nor a defensive divine ability, but a rare special divine ability.

Mirror Flower, Water Moon, as the name implies, refers to flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water, with two interpretations: one is a flexible and elusive ethereal artistic conception, and the other is a metaphor for illusory scenes.

Once Gu Yuan's Mirror Flower, Water Moon divine ability was cultivated, it could temporarily condense a illusory yet real doppelganger.

Furthermore, it could also transform the enemy's attacks into an illusory state, making it extremely miraculous.

The doppelganger initially condensed by this divine ability would at most only have 30% of his cultivation, and could only be maintained for an hour, after which it would dissipate on its own.

The more profound the cultivation of the divine ability, the higher the cultivation of the doppelganger.

It was said that upon reaching the Minor Accomplishment stage of the divine ability, it would possess 70% of the main body's cultivation and could be maintained for several months.

Upon reaching the Great Accomplishment stage of the divine ability, it would possess 100% of the main body's cultivation and could transform into a true doppelganger, permanently remaining.

From this, it could be seen that although this divine ability was not an offensive one, it was much more useful than pure offensive or defensive divine abilities.

Once the Mirror Flower, Water Moon divine ability was cultivated, he would naturally be able to implement his plan, and then he would be able to give some people in Medicine King Mountain, as well as that Lu Kun, a big surprise!

While pondering his next plans, Gu Yuan suddenly paused, feeling that something was wrong.

He looked up and saw that there were clearly far fewer pedestrians on the street at this time.

The usually bustling street had become sparse, with only a few people here and there.

Something's not right, where are the people?

Where have so many people gone?

Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Yuan subconsciously looked up towards the direction of the Red Dragon Immortal Palace in the distance.

Sure enough, nine crimson towering pillars stood in the distant sky, displaying a mysterious formation, now shining brightly, faintly revealing the brilliance of restrictions and formations, enveloping an immortal palace within.

So it turns out that the Red Dragon Immortal Palace is about to open! No wonder…

Gu Yuan suddenly understood.

Then,

Roar—!!!

Accompanied by loud and majestic dragon roars, the nine crimson towering pillars suddenly transformed into nine red dragon giants, intertwined with each other with bared fangs and brandished claws, turning into a huge crimson gate.

Even from a great distance, Gu Yuan could still strangely see the various patterns on it.

Fire crows, fire snakes, fire toads, fire ghosts, fire bulls, fire dragons, and other fire-attribute demons were vividly displayed on the crimson gate, flapping their wings, and roaring loudly.

As for the immortal palace, it was actually becoming fainter and fainter in full view, and eventually disappeared.

"What, could this Red Dragon Immortal Palace be fake?"

Gu Yuan was stunned to see this.

Or was this crimson gate the true entrance to the Red Dragon Immortal Palace?

"Hehe, is this brother curious about what just happened?"

A tall figure appeared beside Gu Yuan.

This person was wearing a purple robe, with a handsome face that was almost妖异, and fair skin, especially his eyes, which shone like gems.

Just standing there gave people a sense of majesty and mystery, as if shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the truth.

Buzz—!!!

Upon seeing this person, Gu Yuan's sword heart actually issued a long-lost warning, which clearly meant that this person was extremely dangerous, even more terrifying than that Lu Kun.

Where did this great expert come from… Gu Yuan became vigilant in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said:

"Could it be that Daoist friend knows?"

The purple-robed youth didn't play coy, but said with a smile:

"That Red Dragon Daoist is quite cunning. The immortal palace just now should be fake, or rather, a trap he set up to prevent some people from breaking in by force."

"If some people don't have that intention, then so be it, but if they are blinded by greed and really break into it beforehand, hehe…"

Saying this, the purple-robed youth shook his head slightly, without finishing his sentence.

But how could Gu Yuan not understand his meaning?

If that immortal palace was fake, those who had the ability to break into it beforehand would be skinned alive even if they didn't die.

The purple-robed youth stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking at the crimson gate. Although he was a man, his appearance was even more outstanding and enviable than many women:

"In comparison, this gate is probably the real entrance to the Red Dragon Immortal Palace."
