Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 291 - 290: Essence of White Bone

However, after penetrating several layers of protection, the gray light, although still fast, noticeably slowed down a bit and revealed its true form.

This wisp of gray light was actually a thin needle as fine as cow hair!

It’s unclear what material was used to refine it, but the needle appeared slightly translucent, and its tip glimmered with a faint red light. Gu Yuan only needed a glance to feel alarmed, as if his scalp was tingling.

Even his transformed Divine Soul sensed a hint of danger.

Clearly, some terrible evil poison had been infused into it!

However, just as the Flying Needle was about to pierce Gu Yuan’s forehead, a beam of cyan light blocked it.

Clang!

The Flying Needle struck as if it had hit jade, emitting a crisp sound.

This cyan light was naturally transformed from the Lifebound Magical Artifact, the Wood Spirit Shield, belonging to Cyan Wood True Master.

Although it had been damaged before, it was repaired by Gu Yuan using the precious Essence of Wood, and it was one of his trump cards.

Once blocked, the Flying Needle recoiled and flew back into the hand of the Three-Corpses Elder Demon.

Now that the sneak attack had been exposed, it was obvious that continuing the fight would be futile.

As for Gu Yuan, he controlled the Silver Flood Dragon Sword Radiance to sweep up two pieces of white bone, which flew back to his side.

These two pieces of white bone were essentially a White Bone Mighty Demon, filled with demonic energy and white bone essence.

To the average person, it exuded demonic energy and was not a good object.

Over time, it might even be influenced by the demonic energy and nature within, and could be considered an evil item!

However, for Gu Yuan, this was not a problem at all because his Primordial True Qi is extremely pure. As long as Gu Yuan expends considerable effort to refine it, he can completely remove the demonic, yin, and evil energies, cleaning it thoroughly.

Even if there are remnants, his Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques can swallow and digest the various essences within, without causing him any adverse effects.

In other words, this thing is also a top-grade Spirit Pill!

Gu Yuan was naturally not going to let such a benefit slip away.

"Hmph!"

The Three-Corpses Elder Demon snorted coldly, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

He had already experienced Gu Yuan’s persuasiveness and strength, knowing that further entanglement would be useless, so he left decisively.

Gu Yuan remained standing in place, motionless, and did not continue to make a move.

The Three-Corpses Elder Demon found him difficult to deal with, and likewise, Gu Yuan felt the Three-Corpses Elder Demon was formidable.

This old demon was a cunning, seasoned fox, his strength not to be underestimated, and who knows how many tricks he had up his sleeve.

If it came to a magical battle, although Gu Yuan did not fear him, he was not confident in defeating this old demon.

To overpower this old demon wasn’t easy; to defeat or even kill the Three-Corpses Elder Demon was even more difficult.

So, rather than engaging in a battle, it was better to stop and save energy.

The scene of Gu Yuan’s skirmish with the Three-Corpses Elder Demon was witnessed by several others.

The other cultivators were filled with fear, hurriedly avoiding it from a distance, afraid to provoke Gu Yuan.

However, Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling were very excited.

In their minds, the Three-Corpses Elder Demon was a notorious figure in the Demon Dao, infamous for his evil deeds, and an aged and seasoned demon leader.

Even with their backgrounds, they could not easily provoke him, lest it leads to their downfall.

Yet, this infamous old demon, when facing Gu Yuan, seemed cowardly, or at least in three rounds of combat with Gu Yuan, failed to gain any advantage.

This greatly surprised the two women; Gu Yuan’s actions continually reshaped their perception.

"Brother Gu, since you’ve refined the Celestial King Divine Pill, does this mean you’ll have smooth sailing in ascending to the Yin Spirit Realm in the future, with no bottlenecks to speak of?"

Yan Xiaoling inquired curiously.

In fact, she wanted to ask how Gu Yuan managed to refine the Celestial King Divine Pill so quickly, but she also understood that such matters might involve Gu Yuan’s private secrets.

When it comes to a cultivator’s secrets, even dual cultivation partners or blood relatives should not pry, as delving into others’ secrets is considered taboo.

Therefore, she wisely refrained from directly asking.

Gu Yuan shook his head in denial: "How could that be, Senior Sister Yan thinks too much. The Celestial King Divine Pill is indeed formidable, allowing my path ahead to be smoother. However, to say it lets me have no bottlenecks before reaching the Yin Spirit Realm, or that I’ll surely ascend in the future, is impossible!"

In reality, this was Gu Yuan speaking modestly.

The Celestial King Divine Pill was not as ordinary as Gu Yuan claimed, but he typically exercised caution and restraint, never excessively boasting about himself, due to his steady nature.

Yan Xiaoling naturally did not fully believe Gu Yuan’s words, but wisely did not press further.

Gu Yuan retrieved the two pieces of white bone from earlier, invoking the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques, transforming them into a black light that engulfed them.

Under the effect of this divine technique, the two white bones made crunching sounds, slowly crushing and condensing into a mass.

Then, Gu Yuan quickly refined it several times with Primordial True Qi, and the "white bone" promptly shrank by a circle, its yin, resentment, demonic, and evil energies being entirely refined away.

Gu Yuan paid little heed to the minuscule impurities, utilizing the Heaven and Earth Devouring Divine Techniques to digest the essence and primordial qi within the bone mass.

The White Bone Mighty Demon is one of the 72 Divine Demons in the Demon Dao, cultivated from the Bone Demon tier by tier.

Upon reaching the Golden Core stage, each bone of the White Bone Mighty Demon is much harder than refined gold iron mother, impervious to blades, spears, fire, and water.

Combined with its innate demonic nature, it became a skeletal killing machine!

Every bone was filled with white bone essence and primordial qi essence, even suitable for refining into a Magical Artifact.

In Gu Yuan’s view, once the prevalent yin, demonic, and evil energies and impurities were purged, and it was capable of being refined, it was like a moving Great Nourishing Spirit Pill.

So, now, the essence and primordial qi from the bone were being continuously absorbed by Gu Yuan, nourishing his body.

Crackle! Crackle!

At this moment, a series of crisp popping sounds like frying beans echoed within Gu Yuan’s body.

Gu Yuan’s physique visibly expanded, his frame widened, muscles knotted like dragons, and his fair skin gained a bronze tint.

His originally delicate and handsome face now had a touch of rugged masculinity.

Azure veins, as thick as pinky fingers, bulged on his skin surface, resembling strange little snakes.

A fierce aura spread out, almost suffocating!

This white bone essence was quite pure, but not everyone could endure it.

Those with slightly weaker physiques would not only gain no benefits but might also harm themselves.
