Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 332 - 331: Feeding Essence Blood!

Gu Yuan looked at the Dragon Loach and pondered, saying:

"You are a Dragon Loach, but ultimately not a dragon, but a Spirit Loach. In that case, I’ll call you Little Loach from now on."

The Little Loach, newly named, chirped in response and then flew to the front of Gu Yuan, lying still on the ground.

It just used its little eyes to earnestly stare at Gu Yuan. It appeared obedient and timid, unlike its previous companions who were fierce and stubborn Dragon Loaches.

It was precisely because of this nature that this Dragon Loach survived, allowing Gu Yuan to acquire its talents.

"Although you have lived for thousands of years and are not far from maturing into a Dragon Loach, becoming a mature form will still take a considerable amount of time,"

Gu Yuan spoke solemnly to Little Loach.

Creatures like the Dragon Loach, being Golden Tier Spirit Beasts, obviously don’t grow quickly.

The Dragon Loach in front of him had lived for millennia and was still in its Growth Stage, a clear testament to this.

If left without intervention, it would probably take another one to two thousand years for this Dragon Loach to mature.

However, in terms of his five Golden Tier spirit pets, this Dragon Loach was the closest to maturity.

The other four spirit pets, whether it was the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly, Silver-backed Centipede, Heaven-Swallowing Demon Python, or Purple Cloud Thunder Spider, were still quite far from maturity.

Especially the latter two, their growth was less than 10%.

Though the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly and Silver-backed Centipede, perhaps due to frequent outings and often being fed many Spirit Medicines by Gu Yuan, grew relatively faster.

The Silver-backed Centipede had reached 32%, while the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly was already at the Growth Stage of 42%.

After pondering for a bit, Gu Yuan straightforwardly took out two Jade Bottles, made from some kind of Spirit Jade, appearing slightly translucent.

In one of the Jade Bottles was a mass of golden-red blood, exuding a peculiar aura, distinctly 70-80% similar to the spirit pet Little Loach.

This blood was naturally obtained after Gu Yuan slaughtered another Dragon Loach and refined its corpse with the Nine-Jiao Furnace, acquiring this Dragon Loach Essence Blood.

At this moment, Little Loach occasionally glanced at this Jade Bottle, a trace of crystal seemed to flow from its mouth, as if the essence blood held an indescribable allure for it.

It couldn’t help but want to pounce and swallow it in a mouthful.

The only reason it didn’t act was due to Gu Yuan’s presence, making it dare not act recklessly.

Gu Yuan ignored it and, with a thought, summoned the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly from the Spirit Beast Bag.

After being summoned, Little Cyan fluttered its wings, flew to Gu Yuan’s shoulder, glanced at Little Loach with its compound eyes, and then ignored it.

The Dragon Loach looked at Little Cyan warily, retreating slightly.

From the small cyan butterfly, it felt an extremely dangerous aura, as if this butterfly possessed the power to threaten it.

This obviously made it a bit alarmed.

It knew well its own strength, perhaps unable to defeat the opponent, but if it really wanted to escape, few could harm it. However, the tiny cyan butterfly before it could achieve this feat.

Nevertheless, this cyan butterfly evidently belongs to master Gu Yuan as another spirit pet, which granted it a higher regard for its master Gu Yuan.

It was apparent that its master was unfathomable, with deeply hidden strengths.

As for what was in the other Jade Bottle, it was actually another mass of blood, essence blood, bright red and transparent, faintly shimmering with traces of dark gold glow.

This essence blood was what Gu Yuan refined from the Jin Monkey Jin Yuanfei.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan opened the Jade Bottle, leading the essence blood of the Jin Monkey Demon out to the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.

"Consume these things!"

Gu Yuan commanded the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.

The Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly did not refuse but instead flicked its wings excitedly and stretched its proboscis into the essence blood, absorbing it bit by bit.

Though the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly was very small, with large wings, its stomach was even smaller than a segment of a pinky finger.

In contrast, this essence blood was a mass the size of a head, filled with rich and pure spiritual energy.

Even if a Golden Core Great Cultivator swallowed it, they would inevitably face indigestion and would find it hard to refine.

However, a miraculous scene unfolded next.

As the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly continued to absorb, the essence blood visibly shrank, soon diminishing by a significant portion.

Conversely, the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly’s stomach inflated, yet it was still only the size of a pinky’s fingertip.

The mass of essence blood continued to shrink, soon becoming the size of a fist, while the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly’s stomach only slightly expanded, appearing astonishing.

Before long, the essence blood was entirely consumed, and the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly’s size only slightly increased, emitting rays of blood light, while flying around unsteadily, somewhat resembling a drunken state.

"Good job, take your time to digest,"

Gu Yuan revealed a slight smile, knowing that the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly was overstuffed, waved his hand, and stored the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

The essence blood contained the complete essence of a Golden Core Demon, once fully refined and absorbed, it was expected to help the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly reach maturity.

Even if not, it would not be far off.

Then, Gu Yuan opened the other Jade Bottle, and with True Qi maneuvered, poured the mass of Dragon Loach Essence Blood into the mouth of Little Loach.

In fact, Gu Yuan didn’t need to pour it in; once the golden-red essence blood was drawn out, Little Loach eagerly gobbled it up.

It seemed that the essence blood had an unusual allure to it.

Little Loach, after swallowing the mass of essence blood, also had its stomach swell, then was casually tossed by Gu Yuan back into the Spirit Beast Bag.

The reason Gu Yuan did this was quite simple.

He intended for Little Loach and Little Cyan to swiftly mature, and then further ascend, or evolve.

Thus, once evolved, the prior Dragon Loach would become a Dark Gold Level Spirit Pet, granting Gu Yuan another profound Innate Divine Technique.

Whether this Innate Divine Technique relates to the Eternal Spirit Escape or not, it would undeniably fortify Gu Yuan’s foundation and deepen his potential.

After all, although this Dragon Loach Essence Blood was beneficial to Gu Yuan, acquiring a profound Innate Divine Technique was more suitable in comparison.

One elevates cultivation strength, while the other enhances foundational depth, even a fool knows the wiser choice.

As for the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly,

it would evolve into the legendary Ancient Exotic Insect, the Cyan Jade Sword Butterfly!

Compared to the Dragon Loach and its evolved target, the Blood-marked Dragon Loach King, Gu Yuan had greater expectations for the Cyan Shadow Sword Butterfly.
