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

Chapter 311 Heavenly Silver Sand!

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't look down on ordinary iron ore unless it was in a certain quantity.

This piece of iron ore is inlaid with bright silver, grape-sized, shiny metal spheres.

These silver metal spheres were round and bright, seemingly without any impurities. Each one was the size of a pigeon egg, perfectly round, yet shimmering with a silvery light. Gu Yuan only had to glance at them before he felt a slight stinging sensation in his eyes.

It felt as if I had been pricked by a thousand tiny needles, as if these silver metal spheres contained some kind of terrifying sharpness.

"It's actually Heavenly Silver Sand!"

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, clearly surprised and delighted.

"It seems this underground vein really does contain some good stuff!"

Gu Yuan clicked his tongue in amazement, then took the piece of ore from the silver-backed centipede's mouth. He felt a sudden heaviness in his hand; the ore weighed several thousand kilograms.

Like the Gengjin essence he had previously obtained, Tiangang Silver Sand is also one of the nine divine metals.

The essence of Geng metal is sharpness, making it suitable for refining sharp magical artifacts such as flying swords and knives.

If an ordinary flying sword can be mixed with even a tiny bit of something, its power will increase significantly, and it will also become much sharper.

As for this Heavenly Silver Sand, its characteristic is that it is hard, extremely hard.

Although it is difficult to melt, once it is refined into shape, it will basically not be damaged. It is said that some magical treasures and spiritual treasures contain this Heavenly Silver Sand.

The reason it's called Tiangang Silver Sand is because this divine metal is a by-product ore. Only a very few large veins will produce one or two such pieces. Moreover, its shape is like a pearl, about the size of a grape or a pigeon egg, and it is extremely hard, hence the name "Tiangang Silver Sand".

Gu Yuan glanced at the piece in his hand and found that there were more than twenty of them.

Its value is so great that it is almost immeasurable.

If taken to the outside world, two or three of them could be exchanged for a magical artifact.

This divine metal is used to refine spiritual treasures! Ordinary spiritual materials, even if continuously refined towards the goal of creating spiritual treasures, have a certain upper limit.

In addition, the Gengjin essence obtained from Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling is more than enough to reforge the Silver Dragon Sword!

"Well done, here's something nice for you."

Gu Yuan put it away with satisfaction, then took out a few Spirit Feeding Pills and fed them to A Wu.

These Spirit-Feeding Pills were made by him using rare spiritual herbs, along with the flesh and blood of demonic beasts and ferocious creatures.

It's not too difficult to refine, but because it uses rare materials, it's very beneficial for spirit pets, promoting their growth.

The centipede devoured the Spirit Feeding Pill in a few bites, as if it were candy, clearly quite excited, its two antennae swaying.

Then, Ah Wu plunged his head back into the ground.

"Huh? What's going on? Could there be some associated mineral vein?"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan was taken aback, surprised and somewhat puzzled.

"What?! There's another strange ore?!"

However, not long after, a thought struck him, and he suddenly stood up, seemingly stunned.

At this moment, the silver-backed centipede underground transmitted some vague information, which made Gu Yuan suspicious and uncertain.

He seemed to realize something, and he flew up, standing high in the air looking down at the canyon below, feeling that the canyon was more like a deep pit.

"Could it be..."

A guess suddenly arose in Gu Yuan's mind. He then stopped his escape light and simply waited where he was.

This place is rather unusual, and since he's not proficient in the art of metal-based escape techniques, he can't possibly dive underground. Therefore, he can only rely on the Silverback Centipede.

Click, click, click!

Not long after, the ground in front of Gu Yuan suddenly moved, then bulged up, forming a raised bump, and some cracks began to spread in all directions.

It looks like something is about to pop out from below.

Soon, the silverback centipede emerged from the bulge and pushed aside some pebbles.

Beneath the rubble was a deep pit, about the size of a washbasin.

The centipede raised its upper body, its two antennae twitching a few times. Gu Yuan understood its meaning and exclaimed in realization:
"Hmm? You mean that thing down there is heavy? Hmm, that's easy... Let me handle it."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan had an idea. He pointed his finger, and a thin, hair-like silver thread flew out and then followed the deep pit downwards.

This silver thread was the sword thread transformed from Gu Yuan's Silver Dragon Sword, and it was extremely sharp. However, at this moment, Gu Yuan was using it as a fishing line.

Before long, Gu Yuan raised his hand and hooked the sword thread upwards.

Before long, a dark blue, oval-shaped stone, about the size of a washbasin, was "fished" up by the sword thread.

This stone is rather strange; it's more like a meteorite than a stone.

Meteorite is actually formed from fragments of stars falling from outer space. After being violently rubbed and burned in the atmosphere, the metal and iron substances within them coalesce.

Generally speaking, there are also quite a few good things.

Moreover, meteorite iron does not refer to a single type of spiritual material, but rather to a variety of other types.

Gu Yuan had never heard of this meteorite before, at least not the one he was looking at.

That's rather strange.

Gu Yuan was knowledgeable about most of the spiritual materials in the world, but he had never seen or even heard of this piece of meteorite iron before.

This meteorite was quite large and incredibly heavy. When Gu Yuan placed it on the ground, the solid ground seemed unable to bear its weight and dented slightly.

Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of sword thread flew out, landing on the meteorite iron, but it only left a faint, almost imperceptible mark.

This is enough to show how hard this special meteorite iron is; it is definitely no weaker than the Nine Great Divine Metals!
"what?"

However, Gu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, sensing something was amiss.

He flicked his finger, and a wisp of wind flew out, landing on the meteorite again, followed by a crisp "clang".

The sound was melodious and crisp, yet it had a lingering echo. To Gu Yuan, it sounded as if he could hear the gurgling of flowing water, and he felt a wave of weakness and soreness throughout his body.

"what's the situation?"

Gu Yuan immediately noticed the abnormality. He discovered that this meteorite iron was indeed quite special. Not only was the material hard and tough, but it also seemed to be exceptionally "crisp" and had strong conductivity. It was the perfect material for refining magical treasures and spiritual artifacts such as bells and chimes!
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan simply raised his hand and probed, and a surge of Taiyuan True Qi flowed out, landing on the nameless meteorite in front of him, and he began to carefully sense it.

However, Gu Yuan's expression quickly changed and began to look strange.

In his perception, he clearly sensed that this piece of meteorite iron had an aura that was out of place in this small world.

Although this aura was extremely faint, it was incredibly clear to Gu Yuan.

"Could it be... that this meteorite is truly from beyond the heavens, no, from another world?"

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a guess forming in his mind.
