Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 468 - 467: Changes After Core Formation!

This made Qing Mu Fairy initially somewhat incredulous, but soon she readily believed Gu Yuan’s words.

After all, Gu Yuan had no need to deceive her, nor could he possibly fool her.

Besides, without an unprecedented foundational depth, it’s likely impossible to evoke such a lightning tribulation.

Qing Mu Fairy is certainly no fool; during that lightning tribulation, she actually detected some clues.

The appearance of this lightning tribulation was clearly due to Gu Yuan being too abnormal, too special, and thus "incompatible with the world," which led to heavenly wrath and the tribulation descending.

This sparked a particular thought in Qing Mu Fairy’s mind—What grade of Golden Core has Gu Yuan forged!

"Forget about compensation, but I wonder if you have any thoughts of apprenticing under me?"

Qing Mu Fairy’s gaze lingered on Gu Yuan for a moment, then she suddenly spoke: "Your talent and fortune are unprecedented, at least I’ve never seen anything like it. So, if you wish, I can take you as my final disciple. From now on, you would be the future Isle Master of Jade Magpie Isle, how about it?"

"Take me as your disciple?"

Gu Yuan showed a hint of a strange expression.

Why do these people, once they have a grasp of some of my details, always want to take me as their disciple? I’m really quite popular.

But thinking about it, it’s nearly predictable; his future prospects are boundless, and the potential is limitless. Once taken as a disciple, one might receive a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, who in the future might even be able to support the mentor.

Nonetheless, Gu Yuan refused without hesitation: "Sorry to disappoint you, senior. My current master is still around, and has bestowed great favor upon me. I don’t plan to change allegiances."

Upon hearing this, Qing Mu Fairy did not appear disappointed, seemingly having anticipated this response from Gu Yuan. Her expression remained calm as she said, "Since you are unwilling, then forget it. Alright, you may leave now."

With that, Qing Mu Fairy waved her hand, allowing Gu Yuan to leave on his own.

This straightforwardness left Gu Yuan momentarily stunned.

Gu Yuan naturally did not intend to leave just like that. After pondering briefly, he smiled and said, "I owe you a favor for allowing me to cast my Golden Core at the senior’s venue. If senior ever needs help, just let me know. As long as I can manage it, I will not shy away."

Hearing these words, Qing Mu Fairy was visibly surprised. Her beautiful face showed a slightly amused smile, saying, "Oh, a favor? You little fellow are quite interesting... Alright, I will remember your words, you may go now. Also, regarding the recent lightning tribulation, no one knows it was because of you."

Saying this, without waiting for Gu Yuan’s reply, she waved her hand, causing Gu Yuan to instantly vanish from where he was.

...

Gu Yuan only felt a blur before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he found himself near Yu Qiubai’s cave mansion.

Even the nearby spectators, who had come to check out the situation since the lightning tribulation had disappeared, had already gathered around.

Gu Yuan’s appearance was somewhat abrupt, yet the people around did not sense anything unusual.

At most, they were curious about Gu Yuan’s unfamiliar face, so they gazed a bit longer.

However, there are many cultivators on Jade Magpie Isle. Even though many are disciples of the isle, they might not know each other.

Moreover, with their own ancestor Qing Mu Fairy overseeing the isle, no one felt anything amiss.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, are you alright?"

Yu Qiubai was also there. Upon seeing Gu Yuan, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt surprised.

The earlier lightning tribulation was exceedingly fierce, and even now as he recalled it, he felt lingering fear.

If he had stayed in the cave mansion at that time, he might not even have remained in one piece.

Judging by the timing, Gu Yuan seemed to have escaped rather late, and it’s unknown whether he was affected by the lightning tribulation.

"I’m fine, thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist Yu."

Gu Yuan smiled, holding a favorable regard for Yu Qiubai.

Such honest and straightforward people are too rare in the Cultivation Realm.

Yet, could it be that Yu Qiubai did not suspect him at all? Perhaps Qing Mu Fairy did something earlier, or maybe Qing Mu Fairy helped to cover it up slightly?

Yu Qiubai nodded, then deliberately lowered his voice, saying: "That’s good. Earlier, no one knew what happened, and suddenly there was a lightning tribulation. A few of my senior uncles said that someone must have cultivated some remarkable divine technique, or refined some treasure, which led to the descent of the lightning tribulation."

"Yes, that may be the case."

Gu Yuan’s eyes revealed a trace of peculiarity, yet his expression remained agreeable as he nodded: "East Sea Cultivation Realm is a land of exceptional people; perhaps there is a cultivator who has refined some treasure, and thus called forth the lightning tribulation."

"It’s a pity about your cave mansion, fellow Daoist Yu; after this incident, it’s been somewhat damaged. Let me at least help in some way for borrowing your cave mansion as a place to retreat." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Saying this, Gu Yuan took out a storage pouch filled with a few Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicines, which were rather valuable, and handed it to Yu Qiubai.

"No, Fellow Daoist Gu, you are my lifesaver. Inviting you over as a guest is only proper, and how could I possibly take your things?"

Though Yu Qiubai was honest and straightforward, his personality was rather stubborn. No matter what Gu Yuan said, he refused to accept what’s inside the storage pouch.

Gu Yuan, helpless, could only put it away, secretly muttering a curse at the foolish boy.

Initially, some people thought about searching around to identify whoever stirred the lightning tribulation, but soon after, Qing Mu Fairy spoke, saying there was no need to pursue the matter. This surprised some, but they did not delve deeper into it.

Yu Qiubai, along with some others nearby, had their cave mansions and restrictions somewhat damaged, so everyone moved to a different location, establishing a makeshift temporary abode to reside in.

After Gu Yuan and Yu Qiubai moved to a new place, Gu Yuan entered a training room, then assumed a kneeling position, closing his eyes to examine certain changes in his body’s cultivation.

Compared to before Core Formation, now the energy flowing within him was no longer Primordial True Qi, but had transformed into Primordial Magical Power.

Well, calling it Primordial Magical Power isn’t entirely accurate.

Because Gu Yuan’s mana has surpassed the scope of the "Primordial True Water Scripture," formed from merging his original True Qi basis with Essence, Qi, Spirit, multiple Divine Dao Seeds, and Divine Soul, producing from the Golden Core.

Compared to the original Primordial True Qi, the quality and essence have notably ascended more than a notch, not only wielding greater potency but also enabling more marvelous invocation of various magical divine techniques!

Additionally, now, the Life Spring Dao Foundation within his Dantian has disappeared, replaced by a swirling, golden, peculiar Golden Core emitting a faint purple-gold brilliance.

Wisps of mana spread like mist, permeating the Dantian within.
