Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 280 Refining the Dragon Blood Fruit!
Among the younger generation of Medicine King Mountain, only Li Changsheng before he formed his Golden Core could probably achieve the level of Gu Yuan, who cultivated four top-tier supernatural abilities.

Of course, achieving the first-grade and second-grade Golden Core is not solely dependent on top-tier supernatural abilities; it also requires the perfect timing and favorable location.

As for Gu Yuan, he has now mastered four top-tier divine abilities and has such a profound foundation. Even if he has some bad luck when he forms his core in the future, he will probably still achieve the second rank of Core Formation!

With a bit of luck, there's a good chance of achieving the first-grade elixir!

Then, Gu Yuan took out the Dragon Blood Fruit from his storage bag.

He had obtained this item a few days ago, but hadn't consumed or refined it before because it contained too much essence, making it extremely difficult to refine.

Moreover, it's not something that can be done overnight. Gu Yuan is currently in the Crimson Dragon Small World, busy searching for opportunities. How could he have time to refine such a spiritual fruit?
Since the item is already in hand and can't run away, it's time to use this precious time to search for other opportunities.

Otherwise, once you miss this great opportunity, three months will pass quickly, and it will be difficult to get in next time.

But things are different now. Gu Yuan has obtained the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power, which has increased his ability to devour and digest by dozens of times, so he naturally doesn't need to worry about this kind of problem anymore.

Gu Yuan sat cross-legged, choosing not to bite into the Dragon Blood Fruit. Instead, he released his Taiyuan True Qi, which was mixed with wisps of black light, and enveloped the Dragon Blood Fruit before slowly refining it.

As wisps of black light seeped into the Dragon Blood Fruit and extracted its essence, Gu Yuan quickly felt waves of intense heat surging into his body.

His inner energy circulated rapidly, quickly absorbing the medicinal power.

Gu Yuan clearly felt that his cultivation level had not improved because the Dragon Blood Fruit was of pure Yang nature, which was incompatible with his Taiyuan True Qi attribute.

However, his physical strength, his constitution, and his internal organs began to be tempered and improved.

Gu Yuan's flesh and blood were crystal clear, his tendons were tough, and his bones were like jade, radiating a faint purple-gold light. However, as the medicinal power began to refine him, his bones also gained a faint, almost imperceptible red light.

Gu Yuan could sense that he also had a special affinity for the fire-attribute spiritual energy in the world, and even a strange sense of intimacy.

This feeling is similar to his perception of the water, metal, and lightning elemental energies in the world.

As time went on, this feeling grew stronger and stronger.

It seems that with just a thought, the surrounding fire-attribute spiritual energy of heaven and earth can continuously gather, which was absolutely impossible before.

About half an hour later, Gu Yuan let out a long breath, a faint red light flashing in his eyes.

The Dragon Blood Fruit that was enveloped by his true energy had also disappeared, completely refined by Gu Yuan.

After standing up, he seemed to have become more robust, even growing more than two inches taller, and his whole person became more upright and handsome, with a more masculine air.

"The medicinal power of this Dragon Blood Fruit is truly potent. Just one fruit has transformed me, granting me a fire-attribute spiritual body. This is truly remarkable..."

Gu Yuan felt a clear connection to the abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy in the world, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Not only that, it also strengthened my physique, making me comparable to other body cultivators of the same level. It seems that the medicinal power accumulated by this Dragon Blood Fruit can definitely last for more than ten thousand years!"

To be honest, Gu Yuan has quite a few talents now.

However, strictly speaking, there are differences among these talents.

For example, the talent he just obtained, the talent of devouring heaven and earth, is actually a supernatural power, even though it is called a talent.

On the contrary, the "Sword Heart" talent and water-attribute talent that Gu Yuan obtained through Xiao Qing were not supernatural abilities, but rather alternative physical talents.

As for Gu Yuan refining the Dragon Blood Fruit just now, under normal circumstances, even if Gu Yuan refined it, he could only digest at most 60% or 70% of its benefits.

The remaining 30-40% will inevitably be wasted to some extent. This isn't his fault; it's the same for everyone.

Whether it's a elixir or a medicinal herb, cultivators often waste some of its potency during the refining process.

However, now that Gu Yuan possesses the "Devouring Heaven and Earth" talent, this situation no longer exists. The entire Dragon Blood Fruit is completely digested and absorbed by him without any waste.

This is how Gu Yuan acquired the fire attribute physique.

Now, Gu Yuan can not only cultivate water, metal, and thunder elemental supernatural abilities, but also fire elemental supernatural abilities, and he will not be affected by them at all.

Although his water-elemental spirit body talent and his current fire-elemental spirit body talent seem to be somewhat incompatible, they actually do not conflict with each other.

This made Gu Yuan ponder it more, and a preliminary idea began to form in his mind.

Although water and fire are incompatible, these two elements actually belong to the Yin-Yang principle.

If he uses the spiritual talents of water and fire as his foundation, cultivates various supernatural abilities, and advances to the Golden Core stage, will he then be able to forge the most outstanding Grade 1 Golden Core in the world?
After thinking about it, Gu Yuan temporarily suppressed the idea.

Although he now possesses the talents of the Water Element Spirit Body and the Fire Element Spirit Body, Gu Yuan also possesses the talent of the Metal Element Spirit Body.

Even the Sword Heart talent, the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder talent, and the newly acquired Devouring Heaven and Earth talent, etc.

With so many talents, focusing solely on the Dao of Water and Fire might not be suitable, and there might even be conflicts in the future.

On the contrary, the Water Path has a grand vision that encompasses all things. Perhaps in the future, one could focus on the Water Path Spiritual Body talent while accommodating other talents, which would also be a good path.

Of course, achieving this is clearly not easy.

To be fair, Gu Yuan's gains from this trip to the Crimson Dragon Small World were considerable.

Leaving aside the previous Thunder Tribulation Vine and Creation Green Lotus Seed, the key point is that he has now refined and absorbed a Dragon Blood Fruit, thus obtaining this fire attribute spiritual body talent.

Furthermore, the medicinal fields and spiritual fields inside the Crimson Dragon Cave were clearly just the beginning.

There will definitely be some benefits later.

Thinking this, Gu Yuan circulated his true energy, and a series of cracking sounds came from inside his body, like popping beans.

Then, his body shrank a bit and returned to its original size.

……

Upon exiting the cave, they saw Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling sitting cross-legged on a large rock, circulating their qi and regulating their breathing.

When Yan Xiaoling saw Gu Yuan come out, she was a little surprised: "Brother Gu, it hasn't been that long. I didn't expect you to be so fast!"

Gu Yuan's face stiffened, unsure of what to say. He quickly changed the subject: "Thank you, junior sisters. How are you two doing with your meditation? Shall we continue our journey now?"

"can."

The two women naturally had no objections, and the three of them immediately continued their journey.
