Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 473 - 472: Thunder Beast and Monks!

However, even if one obtains such a secret technique, to restore oneself completely requires consuming a significant amount of essence blood and primordial qi, and even part of one’s life span.

This is truly the most deadly.

Life span is the foundation of survival for all living beings, as well as the root of cultivators and demons’ existence. Without life span, all is lost.

So no matter what, Xue Shenhu must pay a huge price to return to his original state.

As for the other method.

It sounds simple but is actually very difficult.

In fact, there still exist rare top-grade spirit pills and peak spirit medicines in this world, which also have the effect of repairing the deficient.

However, such grade of spirit pills and spirit medicines are typically either auctioned at major markets in certain Immortal Cities or collected by Yin Spirit Giants or Yang Spirit Masters.

Given Xue Shenhu’s status and strength, trying to obtain them is likely as challenging as achieving the Yin Spirit Dao Fruit.

Xue Shenhu is going to be unlucky!

However, after Gu Yuan did this, he has completely offended Xue Shenhu, and even the Yuqiao Immortal Palace, and afterwards, there will probably be a lot of trouble coming his way.

But Gu Yuan doesn’t care.

He originally had a big grudge with Yuqiao Immortal Palace, so adding the trouble of Xue Shenhu doesn’t count for much.

Even without this incident, he and Yuqiao Immortal Palace would have faced off sooner or later.

...

After leaving Jade Magpie Island, Gu Yuan and Yu Qiubai flew high in the sky.

With Yu Qiubai’s escape technique, he naturally can’t compare to Gu Yuan, but the Treasure Exchange Conference at Luofu Immortal City is still some time away, so the two are not in a hurry.

Therefore, there is no rush to travel.

Along the way, Yu Qiubai occasionally glanced at Gu Yuan, his expression somewhat strange, occasionally wanting to say something but stopping, seemingly having something to say.

Gu Yuan naturally knew what Yu Qiubai was thinking, and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist Yu, rest assured, I injured that Xue Shenhu not only because he coveted my spirit root just now, but more because he and I have some old grievances. I won’t say more, but I’ve got my own plans, no need to worry about me."

Yu Qiubai, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Gu Yuan also has great backing, and reminded: "As long as you understand, Fellow Daoist Gu. However, the Yuqiao Immortal Palace is one of the major influences in the East Sea, and they usually act somewhat overbearing."

"The previous incident had its reasons. Just forget about the other members of Yuqiao Immortal Palace, but Xue Shenhu’s father, Xue Xingchuan, bears grudges and is vicious in temperament. He is a senior Yin Spirit Giant and will surely trouble you later. Fellow Daoist Gu, be very careful." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Xue Xingchuan?

Senior Yin Spirit Giant?

Gu Yuan silently memorized this name in his heart, then nodded and smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Yu, I will be careful."

Yu Qiubai’s Jade Magpie Island has a good relationship with Yuqiao Immortal Palace, so his reminder to Gu Yuan is considered kind.

"Brother Gu, no need to be so formal."

Yu Qiubai shook his head and said nothing more.

In fact, he was still a bit puzzled, like why Gu Yuan, whose cultivation was clearly at the Celestial Human Realm before, is now a Golden Core Great Cultivator.

And also able to easily defeat Xue Shenhu, leaving Xue Shenhu without any strength to counter.

However, this obviously involved Gu Yuan’s identity, background, and even his own secrets. Although Yu Qiubai is somewhat naive in nature, he also knows the taboos of the Cultivation Realm and cannot pry into others’ secrets.

The vast East Sea often spans thousands of miles with no islands in sight.

Over time, always facing this endless deep blue sea can become quite tedious.

However, fortunately, Gu Yuan is different now and can multitask.

While flying, he practices his lifebound flying sword, which is not boring at all.

However, after flying for a while, he had a sudden thought and reached out to stop Yu Qiubai beside him.

Yu Qiubai was somewhat surprised, just about to say something when he saw Gu Yuan wave his hand, sending out a white light that enveloped them both.

In an instant, their figures disappeared, along with their breaths, heartbeats, and breathing soundlessly concealed.

He immediately understood, concentrating, saying nothing.

Then, under Gu Yuan’s concealment, they flew forward for a good hundred miles before they saw that twenty miles ahead, there was a group of cultivators fighting.

That group of cultivators, to be precise, were a group of monks, engaging in a magical battle with several Demon Beasts that looked like tigers and leopards, and were as large as giant elephants.

These monks were dressed in gray and saffron robes, all bald with discipline scars on their heads, and exuded a faint incense-like aura.

Holding prayer beads, each had a steady and heavy presence, exuding a rich golden Buddhist light with golden lotuses and Buddhas faintly appearing.

In the void, faintly came the sound of solemn and majestic Buddhist chants.

"Buddhist Sect..."

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes, rarely showing a solemn expression.

Monks, in fact, whether it’s the Southern Border, the East Sea, the Central Earth, the Western Regions, or Beiming, exist in these places.

However, speaking of the Buddhist Sect, that’s something else entirely.

The Buddhist Sect is a force as famous as the Daoist Sect and the Demon Dao.

The strength of the entire Buddhist Sect is quite formidable. It is said that there are no less than ten ancient temples and famous mountains.

The Buddhist Sect’s influence is mainly concentrated in the Central Earth and the Western Regions.

As for these monks in front, Gu Yuan couldn’t see much about their background at the moment, as he doesn’t know much about the Buddhist Sect.

But although he was unaware of their background, it didn’t prevent Gu Yuan from noticing some issues with these monks.

The cultivation of these monks was extraordinary.

Most were Celestial Human Realm cultivators, with several of them being large monks of the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, the Buddhist Sect has its cultivation system, and the core formed in the Golden Core Realm is not a golden core, but a relic.

This Golden Core Realm is also called the Relic Realm by some monks.

But Gu Yuan was especially focused on some of the large monks in the Relic Realm.

Among them were two, one tall and robust, twelve feet in height, with bronze, dark yellow skin, and sinewy muscles like the roots of an ancient tree, with skin smooth and glossy.

He appeared particularly strong, almost like an iron tower, but more like the statue of a Vajra in a temple, mighty and extraordinary.

The other one, however, was quite short, less than four feet tall, looking rather thin, and had dark skin, as if he had been under the sun for a long time.

Though short, this monk was no less remarkable.

His figure, though thin, had skin like iron, extremely solid, as if formed of some kind of essence of metal and iron.

His every move contained a mysterious divine power!

But what puzzled Gu Yuan the most was one old monk among them.

This old monk had sallow skin, withered and thin, look silent and alone, standing aside without saying a word, in monk robes that were old, washed white, and patched up in several places, appearing quite shabby.

But somehow, upon seeing this old monk, Gu Yuan felt a pulse of alertness, with a sense of crisis forming in his brow.

This immediately made Gu Yuan vigilant.
