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

Chapter 316 Scheming for the Purple and Green Twin Lotus!
Instead of acting rashly, Gu Yuan and his two companions found a relatively secluded place nearby and settled down temporarily.

Then he explained the situation to the two women.

"So, Brother Gu, you came here for these purple and blue twin lotus flowers..."

Yan Xiaoling's bright eyes darted around Gu Yuan a few times, seemingly surprised and curious.

Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling had naturally heard of the Purple and Green Twin Lotus.

However, although the purple and green twin lotus could improve cultivation and had no side effects, the two of them were not very interested in it.

It's not that they look down on this kind of thing, but the two women are very clear that if they were to rely on the two of them alone, the chances of obtaining it would be virtually zero.

The situation was quite obvious: with these stone crocodiles guarding the area, even a few Golden Core cultivators would have a hard time getting their hands on them.

After all, anyone could see that these purple and blue twin lotus flowers were closely related to this group of stone monster crocodiles, and they had a symbiotic relationship that complemented each other.

If these purple and blue twin lotus flowers are rare and precious treasures, then this group of stone crocodiles are guardian spirit beasts!

Of course, the two women weren't very interested for more than just that. The main reason was that both of them had already reached the Great Perfection of the Celestial Realm.

This realm is only a hair's breadth away from the Golden Core realm.

The next step is to refine one's essence, energy, and spirit, in preparation for forging the golden elixir.

For the two women, having reached this level, improving their cultivation level is no longer the primary goal. The primary goal should be to figure out how to form their core.

Forging a Golden Core is no small matter; on the contrary, it is a major event, the most important event for a cultivator, one that can determine their entire life!
What is the Golden Core? The Golden Core is a Dao Seed formed by the fusion of a cultivator's essence, energy, spirit, and even their own supernatural powers.

It embodies the cultivator's Dao and Dharma, and is also the foundation for the cultivator's future advancement to the Great Dao of Immortality!
There are nine grades of Golden Elixir. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to achieve, but the greater the future achievements will be.

Neither of the two women were ordinary cultivators; both had great ambitions and possessed quite profound cultivation foundations. What they cared about was not cultivation level, but rather the Golden Core rank.

If they only focus on improving their cultivation, it will not only be a bad thing for the two of them, but it may even be a bad thing.

Because hastily increasing their cultivation level could potentially affect their subsequent Core Formation process, thereby impacting their rank.

Once the Golden Core grade is determined, there's basically no way to change it.

The saying "no regrets once the elixir is complete" perfectly illustrates this point.

Once the Golden Core is formed, a cultivator's future is basically determined.

Those who achieve the lower three grades of Dan not only possess ordinary supernatural abilities, but also have relatively shorter lifespans and are ineligible for the Yin Spirit realm.

Those who achieve the third rank of the Dan (a type of elixir) possess powerful supernatural abilities and have the potential to break through to the Yin God realm.

Once the elixir is completed to the third grade, there is a chance to achieve the Yin God or even the Yang God realm. Of course, the Yang God realm is still somewhat distant.

Once the elixir is completed to the second grade, there is even a slight chance of attaining the Dao of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal, and the foundation will be even more solid.

As for the first-grade Golden Core, there's no need to elaborate. It only increases the chances of attaining the Dao of the Primordial Spirit True Immortal, and its cultivation, supernatural powers, and strength are incomparable to other grades of Golden Core.

It has enormous potential, and there is a high probability that it will elevate its supernatural foundation and achieve the prototype of a great supernatural power when it reaches the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, it is more important to improve one's cultivation level... or to lay a solid and profound foundation and strive to forge a higher-grade Golden Core. This point is self-evident.

In fact, Gu Yuan's purpose was the same.

However, his cultivation level was slightly inferior to that of the two women. Therefore, he planned to improve his cultivation level first, and then refine his swordsmanship and even other supernatural abilities.

With his current cultivation level, he doesn't have many concerns. In fact, if possible, Gu Yuan plans to continue consuming the Purple-Green Twin Lotus to further enhance his cultivation after he has formed his Golden Core.

Of course, the prerequisite for doing all this is to first find a way to obtain enough purple and blue twin lotus flowers.

After thinking it over, Gu Yuan decided to use the same method he had used recently.

However... there's one problem he needs to solve first.

Thinking it over, Gu Yuan looked up at Ji Yuefei and Yan Xiaoling and said very seriously, "I'm about to make my move. Just in case, you two junior sisters should leave here first to avoid being affected."

The two women exchanged a glance, did not refuse, and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The two of them understood that Gu Yuan would definitely try to obtain these purple and green twin lotus flowers.

One reason was the fear of them being affected, since this group of stone crocodiles was very powerful, with sixteen of them being at the Golden Core level, and the leading stone dragon crocodile being practically comparable to a Yin God Demon King.

If these stone crocodiles were truly provoked, even Gu Yuan couldn't guarantee his own safety, let alone the two of them.
So you have to hide, and you have to hide as far away as possible!

On the other hand, they also knew that Gu Yuan definitely wanted to use some kind of secret or underhanded method, but it was not appropriate for the two of them to know about it.

Therefore, it is inappropriate for the two of them to stay here in any way.

After the two women left, Gu Yuan squinted at the thriving cluster of purple and blue twin lotus flowers. Then his gaze shifted and landed on the stone dragon crocodile, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

A short while later, he turned and left.

Once they reached a distance, Gu Yuan decisively separated a Mirror Flower Water Moon clone.

Now that things have come to this, Gu Yuan has basically mastered the Mirror Flower Water Moon Divine Power to a minor level, and can sustain it for a longer period of time. At least two or three days is not a problem.

Then, Gu Yuan controlled the fake body to approach.

As for his true identity, he simply hid it to avoid causing trouble and getting burned.

……

Shallow water area.

As time went by, the sun set and the sunlight gradually turned orange.

The stone crocodiles floating on the water began to lazily swim in other directions, intending to forage, hunt, and fill their bellies.

However, a few of the stone monster crocodiles did not make any move.

Including that Stone Dragon Crocodile!

As time passed and night fell, most of the stone demon crocodiles dispersed, leaving only the leading stone demon dragon crocodile, five or six golden core level demon crocodiles, and some ordinary stone demon crocodiles.

Wow! Wow!
Before long, a stone crocodile slowly swam over.

This stone crocodile is over thirty meters long, or more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), and its scales are thick and sturdy, with moss growing in many places.

This is a demonic crocodile at the Golden Core level.

At this moment, it was still holding a dead demon bull in its mouth. The demon bull was huge, and although it had been killed, it still exuded wisps of blackish-gray demonic energy.

Wherever the crocodile passed, the water turned pale red.
