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

Chapter 399 Sensing the Demon's Trail!

"Many miners and even cultivators in this mine have actually been targeted by a demonic cultivator. Some of them have been marked by this demon in their bodies. If left unchecked, they will be killed sooner or later."

Cang Yunfei and the others' expressions changed drastically. Although the ore produced by this mine was relatively common, it was of considerable quantity and had always been highly valued by the Cang family's higher-ups.

Especially after what happened before, a lot of people have been sent to guard this place, including many cultivators at the Celestial Realm.

If the entire army is wiped out, or even suffers heavy losses, this will definitely not be good news for the Cang family.

Cangyun City was the first to realize the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gu, how do we find these marked people?"

The mastermind behind this must be caught or killed, but before that, the Cang family's losses must be mitigated.

If the losses are severe, even he will be implicated and suffer the consequences!
Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I don't actually have much information. I only know that the mastermind behind the scenes uses a strange demonic power that can kill people in their dreams. It should be closely related to divine soul-type divine powers."

"If you want to find these people, you'd better find a magic weapon with pure Yang attributes, or find a cultivator who is proficient in pure Yang Daoist techniques."

Gu Yuan offered his suggestions.

"That……"

Cangyun Cheng hesitated for a moment, then clasped his hands in a pleading manner, saying, "Time is of the essence now, and it will be difficult to find either magical artifacts or people proficient in Pure Yang Daoist techniques. Could you please help me, Brother Gu..."

"No."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Gu Yuan shook his head and refused: "I have more important things to do."

Cang Yunfei asked in confusion, "Brother Gu, do you perhaps want to find the culprit?"

"good."

Gu Yuan nodded and thought about it. After all, this was also his mission. If the Cang family suffered too much loss, it would inevitably affect the outcome of his mission and thus affect his promotion to a true disciple.

Therefore, I should put in more effort.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuan looked around and then flicked his finger, sending a gust of wind shooting against the wall not far away.

Boom! ! !
After a loud bang, the stone wall exploded, and then several pieces of gray-black and gray-white ore with specks of silver light crashed to the ground.

This scene made the group's faces twitch; they were puzzled and somewhat surprised.

The stone walls inside these mines, having been tempered by spiritual energy and the energy of metal, are often as hard as refined iron and steel. However, judging from Gu Yuan's actions just now, it was clearly just something he did casually.

If they were in Gu Yuan's shoes, they would probably have to put in a lot of effort to achieve what they were doing. They realized the gap between themselves and Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan simply reached out and hooked the several pieces of gray-black and gray-white ore with specks of silver light, and they flew to his front.

Cang Yunfei, Cang Yuncheng, and the other two had no idea what Gu Yuan was up to, so they patiently watched what was about to happen.

They recognized the ores in front of Gu Yuan as black iron ore and silver ore. The former was more common, while the latter was more valuable.

Gu Yuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of dark red true fire flew out and landed on the pieces of ore.

Then, the dark red true fire rapidly expanded, transforming into a ball of true fire that enveloped the ores. Sizzling sound...

Visibly, the minerals began to melt rapidly, radiating intense heat that distorted the surrounding air.

Soon, the ores melted into pools of molten metal. Under the tempering of the true fire controlled by Gu Yuan, the molten metal quickly fused together, and the impurities were removed by the true fire, leaving only the metallic essence, which fused into a mass of silvery-white molten metal.

Under Gu Yuan's control, the molten metal quickly transformed into the shape of a flying sword. Then, the power of the dark red true fire subsided, and the flying sword rapidly solidified.

Then, Gu Yuan put away the dark red true fire and released a blackish-purple chaotic divine lightning. Under the refinement of the lightning, the sharpness of the flying sword was fully revealed, exuding a sharp and imposing aura.

When the lightning disappeared, only a flying sword, as bright as autumn water, remained on the spot. Upon closer inspection, countless dense, dark purple lines could be faintly seen on its surface.

Clang!
Gu Yuan pointed, and the flying sword landed right in front of Cangyun City, hovering motionless.
“Brother Yuncheng, if you don’t mind, you can use this flying sword to find those who have been marked.”

"I have refined this flying sword with divine lightning. It is absolutely no less powerful than a pure yang magic weapon. As long as someone is marked, this flying sword can sense it."

Gu Yuan's words were not at all false; in fact, they were somewhat modest.

The flying sword itself was nothing special; the material was average and not particularly good. The key point was that Gu Yuan had also refined it with Chaos Divine Lightning.

Although the Chaos Divine Lightning is not a pure Yang Dao technique, its power and its ability to restrain the demonic path are absolutely no less than those of pure Yang Dao techniques, and may even be stronger.

After all, this is the prototype of a legendary supernatural power!
After being refined by the Chaos Divine Lightning, this flying sword, though of low grade, is quite powerful. It is very effective against demonic supernatural powers and extremely sensitive to demonic energy, enabling Cangyun City to quickly find those marked by demonic cultivators.

"This……"

Cangyun City was somewhat incredulous, but when he took the flying sword in his hand to examine it, he discovered that the sword's grade had reached thirty-two restrictions, making it a veritable mid-grade magic weapon.

The faint, terrifying aura emanating from it actually instilled in him a sense of fear and panic.

He found it quite absurd.

It should be noted that from the moment Gu Yuan began to refine the flying sword until he finished, it only took the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

In such a short time, and with materials that weren't particularly good, he actually managed to forge such a powerful magical artifact. Judging from Gu Yuan's performance, this was just something he did casually.

If there were enough good spiritual materials, and with careful refining, wouldn't it be possible to refine even top-tier magical artifacts?
Ordinary magical artifacts can be refined as many as desired.

Are the differences between people really that great, since they are all human beings and cultivators at the Celestial Realm?
Not only is his cultivation level incredibly high, but he's also quite proficient in alchemy and weapon crafting. He's practically an all-rounder! How are ordinary cultivators like us supposed to survive?!

Thinking this to himself, Cangyun City outwardly remained quite polite and cautious, saying, "Alright, thank you, Brother Gu. Leave this matter to me."

With that, he took his flying sword and hurriedly left the mine.

As for what Gu Yuan was going to do next, he didn't care, because Gu Yuan clearly intended to handle the matter himself.

Since that's the case, Cangyun City might as well not get involved in the other party's affairs any further.

After Cangyun City left, Gu Yuan also stepped forward and walked towards the outside of the cave.
