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

Chapter 292 The Weapon Refining Pavilion!
Gu Yuan had previously consumed the Dragon Blood Fruit, which had tempered his physique and given him a sufficiently strong foundation. Now, digesting the White Bone Essence was not a problem; in fact, it could be said to be like adding wings to a tiger.

Not long after, Gu Yuan released his hand, and strands of grayish-white ashes scattered on the ground.

As for Gu Yuan himself, feeling the immense power within his body, he took a deep breath, feeling that his physical strength had increased even further!
He exhaled a breath of white air, which snaked like a dragon and lingered in the air for a long time.

Gu Yuan's noticeably taller and stronger physique began to shrink rapidly, quickly returning to his original handsome and slender appearance.

At this moment, his cultivation level had not changed much, but his physique had undergone earth-shattering changes.

At this moment, Gu Yuan, after examining his inner self, saw that his bones, which were originally as white as jade and looked absolutely perfect, were now slightly transparent and shimmering with golden light.

This golden light permeated all the bones, from the inside out, in fine strands, even finer than a strand of hair.

However, these golden threads gleamed with a strange luster, exuding a mysterious aura that seemed impossible to decay.

Gu Yuan was not surprised by this; on the contrary, he was quite excited and thrilled.

He had never practiced any physical cultivation techniques or supernatural powers, but his physique was already quite strong due to his own cultivation level.

After refining the Dragon Blood Fruit, his physical strength was no less than that of other body cultivators of the same level, and perhaps even a notch or two stronger.

After he refined another skeletal mighty demon god, his physical strength increased even more.

It has already reached the level of physical strength of a Golden Core level body cultivator.

If his bones turn pure gold, it means that Gu Yuan's physical strength will reach a new level!

It is not a spirit, but it is not far from being one.

Of course, there is still a long way to go to achieve this.

Even so, with Gu Yuan's current physical strength, even without using swordsmanship or other supernatural abilities, he could fight against a Golden Core cultivator without being at a disadvantage.
"Junior sisters, let's go take a look over there."

Gu Yuan didn't say much, but greeted the two women and pointed to the weapon-refining pavilion on the other side.

He had already gained immense benefits from the Pill Cauldron Pavilion. As for other spiritual pills, although there might be some of the same level as the Heavenly King Divine Forging Pill, Gu Yuan did not intend to continue taking them.

One should not be too greedy, otherwise it will only backfire.

As for the weapon-refining pavilion, it contains magical artifacts, and perhaps some magical treasures, as well as some rare weapon-refining materials. Gu Yuan naturally had some ideas about it.

Magical artifacts aside, now that Gu Yuan has the Silver Dragon Sword and the Armor Wood Spirit Shield, two top-tier magical artifacts, he isn't very interested in other magical artifacts.

He would only be interested in some rare and special magical artifact, or a true magical treasure.

Special magical artifacts refer to other types of magical artifacts besides offensive and defensive ones, such as alchemy furnace artifacts, artifacts that can protect the soul, or one-time high-power artifacts.

As for magical treasures, there's no need to elaborate; any one of them possesses considerable power.

Generally speaking, when two Golden Core cultivators fight, if their cultivation and supernatural abilities are evenly matched, and one has a magic weapon while the other does not, then the outcome will definitely be a crushing defeat.

Even if two Golden Core cultivators have vastly different cultivation levels, such as one being at the Lesser Completion stage of Golden Core and the other at the Greater Perfection stage, if the Lesser Completion Golden Core cultivator possesses a suitable magic weapon, while the Greater Perfection Golden Core cultivator does not, once they clash, the former may not necessarily be the latter's match, but he will definitely be able to contend with him.

With Gu Yuan's current cultivation level, if he could possess a suitable magic weapon, he himself...
Of course, if he had materials of the nine divine gold level, Gu Yuan would be even more eager to obtain them.

No matter how good the magical artifacts or treasures are, they are not as good as the magical artifacts or treasures that a cultivator refines himself.

Moreover, the nine divine metal-level materials are top-tier spiritual materials for refining spiritual treasures. Using such materials to refine a natal magic weapon has enormous potential.

Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling had both noticed Gu Yuan's change and knew that he must have received some great benefit, but neither of them said a word.

This was, after all, Gu Yuan's secret.

In the world of spiritual practice, everyone has their own secrets, big or small. It is taboo to rashly pry into the secrets of others.

Even among friends, this is no exception.

Seeing Gu Yuan's call, they all followed him out of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion and headed towards the Weapon Refining Pavilion.

Now, the two of them are practically tied to Gu Yuan, advancing and retreating together.

Upon arriving at the weapon-refining pavilion, Gu Yuan looked around.

Unlike the Pill Refining Pavilion, the Weapon Refining Pavilion is noticeably more spacious and has fewer people.

However, compared to the neatly arranged and fully stocked elixirs and medicinal herbs on the various wooden cabinets in the Pill Refining Pavilion, the Refining Pavilion is filled with refining furnaces of varying sizes all over the place.

These weapon-refining furnaces are evenly distributed throughout the main hall, and beneath the vast majority of them burns a ball of real fire.

To be precise, beneath these true fires are wells of earth fire, which are drawn from the earth's lungs and are refined.

Gu Yuan and his two companions casually walked up to a weapon-refining furnace and stopped.

This weapon-refining furnace is about the height of a person, with a strange shape and an ancient feel. Its surface is hollowed out, and a ball of dark red true fire burns below.

However, because the furnace and the underground fire well below it were protected by restrictions, Gu Yuan, Ji Yuefei, and Yan Xiaoling did not feel any heat at all.

Furthermore, the three of them also saw a magical artifact inside.

This is an oval-shaped shield-like magical artifact, about a foot in diameter, with ancient patterns engraved on it, emitting a faint spiritual light.

Gu Yuan carefully sensed that the round shield artifact contained a gentle and pure water elemental power, as well as a rich earth elemental power.

Furthermore, the spiritual pressure emanating from this round shield was also faintly present on Gu Yuan's Silver Dragon Sword and even the Armor Wood Spirit Shield.

Gu Yuan glanced at it a few times, and a look of realization gradually appeared on his face.

"I see……"

Yan Xiaoling, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "What? Did Senior Brother Gu discover something?"

"nothing."

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "I only figured out the origin of this shield; it should have been forged from the shell of a Xuan Turtle."

What Gu Yuan didn't say was that the aura emanating from this shield felt somewhat familiar to him, clearly related to his pet spirit, Ao Da.

Or rather, they are somewhat similar.

This indicates that the original owner of the shield, the Xuan Turtle, had a bloodline that was related to the Ao Da raised by Gu Yuan.
