Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

And the best of them were thousands of years old, all Rank 4 and Rank 5 spiritual herbs.

Gu Yuan first found a few wooden and jade boxes to carefully place the best ones, and then with a wave of his long sleeves, he collected all the other spiritual herbs.

Ah Huang gave him a pleasant surprise.

With these spiritual herbs, his wealth had increased again.

Moreover, many of these spiritual herbs were ones he could use for his own alchemy.

Sha sha sha—

A blackish-green ironback centipede, about ten feet long, crawled out of the bushes, its carapace hard, its two rows of sharp feet like iron hooks, glinting with a chilling light.

Its body was entwined with wisps of gray-black poisonous mist, and wherever it passed, the plants withered and turned into poisonous ash.

[Ironback Centipede (Red)]

Introduction: A relatively rare demonic insect, with an iron-like carapace and knife-like feet, capable of swallowing mountain miasma and various poisonous insects and mists to condense its own demonic and poisonous aura. It can cast the innate spell 'Bone-Etching Arrow,' which can corrode metal and melt iron. To evolve into a 'Silverback Azure Centipede,' it needs to mature into a fully grown Ironback Centipede and consume 5600 Dao runes!

Status: Normal

Stage: Growing Stage (100%)

……

This ironback centipede was naturally the one Gu Yuan had raised.

Now, after swallowing a large number of spiritual herbs, poisonous insects, and poisons, its size had greatly changed, and it had grown into a mature Ironback Centipede.

In addition, the Great Maw, with its dark golden scales, wrist-thick body, and thirty-foot length, also appeared.

However, Great Maw was still at 59% of its growing stage, far from being fully mature.

Yet, the aura emanating from Great Maw's body was clearly not inferior to Gu Yuan himself, obviously a Celestial Realm demon!

As for Ao Da... the palm-sized, ink-jade-like black armored spirit turtle was enveloped in a faint mist of water,遁 (dun - escaped/hid) to Gu Yuan's feet, its eyes, no bigger than sesame seeds, staring expectantly at Gu Yuan.

Ao Da's growing stage was only around 32%, still a long way from maturity.

Even the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly, Xiao Qing, flew out curiously, fluttering its wings and sizing up Ah Huang, Great Maw, Ah Wu, and Ao Da.

Except for the Pill Spirit Cai Yun, who was not released by Gu Yuan due to its low intelligence, all five of these little ones had rarely gathered together.

Apart from Cai Yun, the support, the five little ones, Xiao Qing, and Ah Huang, each possessed extraordinary strength.

According to Gu Yuan's estimation, even the weakest, Ah Huang, although not a match for someone like Liu Xinjun, would definitely not be defeated by ordinary Celestial Realm cultivators.

The strongest was naturally Xiao Qing.

These spirit pets were basically all of Gu Yuan's current strength!

They were also Gu Yuan's confidence in preparing to stir up trouble!

Now, the two ill-intentioned fellows had been lured out of Qiongming Bazaar. Now, it was time to act.

But before he acted, Gu Yuan had one more thing to do.

Gu Yuan looked at Ah Wu, raised his hand, and brought it into view, while summoning his attribute panel:

“Your previous talent was the Hundred Poisons Immunity talent. I wonder what talent you will have this time after evolution…”

Hundred Poisons Immunity had already merged with other talents to form Gu Yuan's Water Elemental Spirit Body talent.

It could be said that his Water Elemental Spirit Body was a fusion of talents such as Iron Teeth, Rat Sniff, Snake Coiling, and Turtle Breath.

Now that the Ironback Centipede was about to evolve, he wondered what talent it would bring him.

[Consume 5600 Dao runes to evolve the Ironback Centipede into a Silverback Azure Centipede, Confirm/Reject?]

As soon as he finished speaking, the 79,300 Dao runes on his attribute panel immediately became 73,700.

At the same time, a rich white light emerged, enveloping the fierce-looking Ironback Centipede, completely surrounding it.

The white light was pure, clean, and full of vibrant vitality.

As wisps of white light penetrated into the Ironback Centipede's body, it began to tremble violently.

Rows of sharp feet clawed at the ground, digging out holes.

Hiss… Hiss…

It seemed to be in great pain, rolling on the ground, twisting its body, and emitting strange roars of pain.

However, as time passed, the carapace on the Ironback Centipede gradually began to dry up and crack.

Pieces of fine carapace shattered and fell to the ground, and the Ironback Centipede's body shrank a size, and the newborn carapace was no longer blackish-green in color, but much lighter.

However, this change did not stop, and the transformation continued!

Before long, the Ironback Centipede's newborn carapace became hard, then began to dry up, crack, and fall off.

The Ironback Centipede's body shrank another size…

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.com!

And the color of the carapace on its body also turned bluish-white…

However, at this time, the white light was still constantly emerging, causing the Ironback Centipede to undergo one transformation after another.

The color of its carapace became lighter and lighter, changing from bluish-white to grayish-white, with a hint of silver light.

Only a pile of broken carapace fragments remained in place.

Finally, when the transformation was over, only a silver-glowing centipede remained in place, about the thickness of a finger and about half a foot long.

Compared to its previous ferocious appearance, the Silverback Azure Centipede now looked delicate and exquisite, as if cast from silver essence, and although small in size, it exuded an extremely dangerous aura!

[Evolution successful, you have obtained the pet Silverback Azure Centipede!]

[Silverback Azure Centipede (Gold)]

Introduction: A rare异种 (yizhong - variant) demonic centipede in the world, not only possessing a strange poison that can kill Golden Core Grand Cultivators, but also possessing an extremely strong physique that can penetrate refined metals and strange iron. Due to its special talent, it can sense and control various Geng metal and Xin metal auras, and can also devour various refined metals and strange iron to strengthen itself.

To evolve into a Taiyin Gold Centipede, it needs to mature into a fully grown Silverback Azure Centipede and consume 95,000 Dao runes!

Status: Normal

Stage: Growing Stage (1%)

……

[You have obtained the Silverback Azure Centipede talent 'Gold Spirit' blessing!]

……

“Not bad, the Dao runes required are 65,000 less than Xiao Qing upgrading to Azure Jade Sword Butterfly.”

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, and then noticed the blessed talent, his eyes flashing: “Gold Spirit talent? What is this talent? Could it be controlling Geng metal aura, strengthening the physique, and making people like a body cultivator?”

Thinking this way, Gu Yuan had already felt the various changes appearing in his body.

His flesh, bones, and even bone marrow had a tingling, itchy feeling, and even some subtle and abnormal changes seemed to have appeared deep in his bloodline.

He began to become particularly sensitive to various Wujin elites, metal essences, and other metal materials containing Geng metal aura and Xin metal aura.

Gu Yuan could sense the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the heaven and earth that were biased towards the metal element, as well as the subtle metal particles hidden in the soil under his feet.

He could even sense that there was a small miniature iron ore vein hidden in the mountain under his feet.
