Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 376 - 375: Venerable Black Dragon!

In Gu Yuan’s view, the Daoist child before him was clearly just a common person with a bit of cultivation, merely a Martial Master at the moment.

Not a returning-to-youth cultivator with a youthful visage and white hair.

However, Gu Yuan was quickly drawn to another figure.

On the empty ground to the right in front of the gate, there was a patch of grass, where a black ox lay.

This black ox was quite large, lying there like a hill, exuding a faint yet powerful aura that surprisingly matched the pressure Gu Yuan felt when facing True Monarch Withered Wood.

Its fur was a deep black with a metallic sheen, and its two horns curved like crescent moons.

It seemed to be constantly ruminating something in its mouth.

When Gu Yuan and his companion approached, the black ox merely glanced idly and casually flicked its tail, swatting away a few bugs hovering nearby.

Gu Yuan was taken aback, as he clearly noticed that these were horseflies.

Horseflies near a cow are not unusual.

Yet these horseflies were surprisingly rare Spiritual Insects, or Demon Insects.

Each Demon Insect was quite formidable, at least of the red grade as per Gu Yuan’s observation.

This was rather excessive.

And this black ox...

The feeling it gave Gu Yuan was strength, nothing but strength!

Clearly a demon, yet surprisingly, it did not exude any Demon Qi.

He Ling True Master stepped forward respectfully to greet, "Disciple He Ling, pays respects to Venerable Black Dragon."

Venerable Black Dragon, an odd title, should it not be Black Bull... Gu Yuan quickly stepped forward to pay his respects.

At the same time, He Ling True Master used a Secret Technique to explain the identity of this black ox to Gu Yuan.

It turned out that this black ox was a Black Bull Demon, once the mount of Ancestor Danxia, having followed Ancestor Danxia for thousands of years, it had cultivated into a Yin Spirit Dao Fruit.

Now, it was also an Ancestor of Medicine King Mountain, although not a human ancestor, all Medicine King Mountain disciples respected it greatly, and no one dared be disrespectful.

Even Sect Leader Yusheng Daoist respectfully called it Brother Black Dragon.

Of course, primarily it was due to Venerable Black Dragon’s temper being somewhat difficult to handle, hence no one dared disrespect it.

Additionally, Venerable Black Dragon was also the guardian Divine Beast of Medicine King Mountain.

As for why it was called Venerable Black Dragon, this relates to an ancient legend.

According to legend, in ancient times, a Great Divine Ability User achieved the highest Dao Fruit and ascended to the Immortal Realm, becoming an Immortal Sovereign.

Even its mount, the Cyan Bull Demon, ascended together, transforming into a Cyan Dragon Divine Body from a bull’s form.

Since then, although the Ox Race is not of the snake, eel, loach, fish, or earthworm families, if cultivated sufficiently, it too can transform into a True Dragon Body. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

For this reason, the black ox before them took the title Venerable Black Dragon.

"Hmm, no need for excessive courtesy."

The black ox, or rather, Venerable Black Dragon’s voice reached the ears of the master and disciple duo, as Venerable Black Dragon’s large bull eyes turned towards Gu Yuan:

"Young one, I am quite interested in what you have. Would you be interested in making a trade with me? I, the old bull, have a collection of many Spirit Medicines. As long as the price is right, you may choose any."

What I have?

Gu Yuan was momentarily confused, pondering.

Aside from the Lifebound Flying Sword Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, he had nothing else on him.

Other treasures like the Black Dragon Halberd, Nine Jiao Furnace, and Blazing Carp Shuttle were all in his Storage Pouch.

So, what did Venerable Black Dragon mean by this?!

He Ling True Master also gave his disciple a curious glance, feeling puzzled but wisely remained silent.

Wait...

Aside from the Lifebound Flying Sword Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, it seemed I truly possess another treasure!

Gu Yuan had some doubts, but when he noticed Venerable Black Dragon’s gaze inadvertently glancing at his Dantian, a realization sparked in his mind.

Previously, after entering the Red Dragon Cave of the Red Dragon Small World, he had gained many treasures.

Besides the Black Dragon Halberd and Nine Jiao Furnace, there was notably the Celestial King Divine Pill, as well as the Thunder Tribulation Vine and Lotus Seed of the Creation Cyan Lotus.

Not to mention the Thunder Tribulation Vine had been refined, the former elevating his Divine Soul essence.

The latter served to enhance the Top-Grade Divine Technique Purple Sky Divine Thunder, assisting him in achieving the prototype Dao Seed of the Great Divine Technique Chaos Divine Thunder.

As for the latter—the Lotus Seed of the Creation Cyan Lotus—it had been swallowed directly by Gu Yuan, to be nurtured and nourished by the water from the Life Spring within him that continually flowed with Primordial True Water.

At that time, this rare seed of Innate Spirit Root had already cracked open, revealing a tender shoot, sprouting from within.

The Life Spring Dao Foundation was the fundamental source within Gu Yuan’s body.

Due to Gu Yuan’s unique cultivation of the "Primordial True Water Scripture," the Life Spring Dao Foundation he established possessed an extremely nourishing quality.

Hence, Gu Yuan planned to nurture this Lotus Seed well.

As his cultivation deepened, the Lotus Seed might just truly take root and sprout, growing into a Creation Cyan Lotus.

During its growth, Gu Yuan could also refine it, potentially making it a fine-grade Lifebound Spiritual Treasure!

Recently, Gu Yuan hadn’t paid it much attention, but despite this, now, within Gu Yuan’s Life Spring Dao Foundation, in that naturally and mysteriously inscribed, Dao-spirited, simple and natural Dao Foundation resembling a jade green well, there was a dark green Lotus Seed, currently soaking in the Life Spring’s water, motionless and steady.

The Lotus Seed’s shell had already developed a noticeable crack.

A tender shoot poked out, exuding a lush green vitality, emanating a rich and unique life essence, giving a heartening sense of vigor.

Presently, the tender shoot hadn’t fully emerged. Its growth was indeed not quick.

But considering its identity as the Lotus Seed of the Creation Cyan Lotus, this wasn’t surprising.

If Venerable Black Dragon was referring to this, then besides this Lotus Seed, Gu Yuan couldn’t conceive of anything else.

Gu Yuan hadn’t expected this Lotus Seed, hidden deep within his Dantian to be discovered by this black ox.

Truly terrifying!

"Well..."

Gu Yuan hesitated slightly before promptly refusing, "Respectfully, Venerable, this item is intended to be nurtured as my Lifebound object, thus I do not intend to trade it away."

He Ling True Master glanced surprisingly at his disciple.

He hadn’t expected Gu Yuan to have such a stroke of fortune.

Innate Vitality, Innate Primordial Qi...

Hearing this, he understood, Gu Yuan had indeed acquired an Innate or semi-Innate Spirit Root and Spiritual Object!

Such things are typically only needed by those of Yang Spirit Level or higher.

This youngster is indeed incredibly fortunate!

He Ling True Master marveled inwardly, with a subtle hint of envy towards Gu Yuan’s luck.
