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

Chapter 332 Feeding with Essence Blood!

Gu Yuan looked at Long Qu and pondered for a moment before saying:
“You are a dragon loach, but you are not a dragon after all. You are a spirit loach. In that case, I will call you Little Loach from now on.”

Little Ao, also known as Long Ao, who had just received its name, chirped upon hearing this, then flew to Gu Yuan and lay down on the ground, motionless.

She just stared at Gu Yuan with her small eyes, looking obedient, timid, and fearful.

It was completely different from its previous companion, another fierce and stubborn dragon loach.

However, it was precisely because of this that the dragon loach survived, and Gu Yuan was able to obtain its talent.

"Although you have lived for thousands of years and are not far from becoming a mature dragon, it will still take a considerable amount of time before you can truly become a mature dragon."

Gu Yuan said to Xiao Qiu in a deep voice.

Since the dragon loach is a gold-grade spirit beast, its growth rate is obviously not very fast.

The dragon loach before us has lived for thousands of years, yet it is still in its growth stage—this is clear evidence.

If no one intervenes in this process, it is estimated that it will take another one or two thousand years for this dragon loach to become mature.

However, to be fair, this dragon loach is the closest to maturity among his five gold-tier spirit pets.

The other four spirit pets, whether it's the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly, the Silver-backed Centipede, the Devouring Demon Python, or the Purple Heaven Thunder Spider, are all quite far from reaching maturity.

The latter two, in particular, have growth rates of less than 10%.

However, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly and the Silver-backed Centipede grew relatively faster, perhaps because they were frequently out on missions and Gu Yuan often fed them many rare and precious medicinal herbs.

The Silverback Centipede has reached 32%, while the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly has reached 42% of its growth stage.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan simply took out two jade bottles, both made of some kind of spiritual jade, which were slightly transparent.

One of the jade bottles contained a stream of golden-red blood, which emitted a strange aura, similar to that of the spirit pet, Little Loach.
They are clearly 70-80% similar.

The blood in this bottle is naturally the essence blood of the dragon loach that Gu Yuan obtained after killing another dragon loach and refining its corpse with the Nine Dragon Furnace.

At this moment, the little loach would occasionally glance at the jade bottle, a wisp of what appeared to be crystal clear blood flowing from the corner of its mouth, as if this mass of essence blood held an indescribable allure for it.

It couldn't resist the urge to pounce and swallow it whole.

The reason it didn't take action was because Gu Yuan was there, which made it afraid to act rashly.

Gu Yuan ignored it and, with a thought, summoned the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly from his spirit beast pouch.

After being summoned, Xiaoqing fluttered its wings and flew to Gu Yuan's shoulder. It glanced at the little loach with its compound eyes and then ignored it.

Long Qu glanced at Xiao Qing warily and quietly took a step back.

It sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the small blue butterfly, as if the butterfly possessed the power to threaten it.

This clearly made it somewhat apprehensive.

It knew its own strength perfectly well. It might not be able to defeat its opponent, but if it really wanted to escape, it would be difficult for anyone to harm it. However, the blue butterfly in front of it could do just that.

However, judging from its appearance, this blue butterfly is clearly another spirit pet of its master, Gu Yuan, which makes it think more highly of its master.

Clearly, its owner is unfathomable and very well hidden.

As for the contents of the other jade bottle, it was also a mass of blood, a mass of essence blood, bright red and translucent, faintly glowing with a dark golden light.

This mass of essence blood was what Gu Yuan obtained after refining the Golden Monkey Jin Yuanfei. Without hesitation, Gu Yuan pointed his finger, and the stopper of the jade bottle was opened. Then he drew out the essence blood of the Golden Monkey demon and brought it to the front of the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly.

"Eat these things!"

Gu Yuan gave the order to the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly.

The Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly did not refuse; instead, it fluttered its wings excitedly a few times, then stretched out its mouthparts and probed into the essence blood, absorbing and devouring it in streams.

Despite its small size, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly has large wings, but its abdomen is smaller than a section of a little finger.

On the contrary, this mass of blood essence, as big as a head, was filled with rich and pure spiritual energy.

Even a Golden Core cultivator would struggle to digest and refine this mass of essence blood.

However, what happened next was truly miraculous.

As the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly continued to absorb the essence, the mass of blood essence visibly began to shrink, quickly becoming much smaller.

In contrast, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly's belly swelled up, but it was still only the size of a little fingertip.

The mass of essence blood continued to shrink, quickly becoming the size of a fist, while the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly's belly only swelled a little more, which looked quite astonishing.

Before long, its essence and blood were completely drained, and the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly only grew a little larger. Its body emitted wisps of bloody light, and it flew up unsteadily, giving off a drunken feeling.

"Good, digest it well."

Gu Yuan smiled slightly, knowing that the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly was full from eating too much. He waved his hand and put the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly into his spirit beast bag.

This mass of essence blood contains the full essence of a Golden Core demon. Once it is completely refined and absorbed, it should be able to help the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly grow into its mature form.

Even if it can't, it won't be far off.

Next, Gu Yuan opened another jade bottle and used his true energy to pour the dragon loach essence blood inside into the mouth of the little dragon loach.

Actually, there was no need for Gu Yuan to force-feed it. As soon as he drew out the golden-red essence blood, the little loach couldn't wait to gulp it down.

It seemed that this mass of essence held a unique allure for it.

The little loach swallowed the ball of essence blood, its belly swelled up, and then Gu Yuan casually stuffed it into the spirit beast pouch.

Gu Yuan did this for a very simple reason.

He planned to help the little loach and the little green fish reach maturity as soon as possible, and then let them continue to sublimate, or rather, evolve.

In this way, after the former dragon-like creature evolves, it will become a dark gold-level spirit pet. In this way, Gu Yuan will gain another more profound talent and divine ability.

Whether this innate supernatural ability is related to the Boundless Spirit Escape or not, it will definitely make Gu Yuan's foundation more solid and his foundation more profound.

After all, while this dragon blood essence would be useful to Gu Yuan, obtaining a profound innate divine ability would be more suitable.

One can improve one's cultivation level, while the other can strengthen one's foundation. Even a fool would know which to choose.

As for the latter, the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly.

It will evolve into the legendary ancient insect, the Jade Sword Butterfly!

Compared to the Dragon Loach and its evolution target, the Blood-Patterned Dragon Loach King, Gu Yuan had higher expectations for the Azure Shadow Sword Butterfly.
