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

Chapter 444: Quite a harvest!

In this world, hundreds of millions of beings embark on the path of cultivation, pursuing the path to immortality. Among them are many with exceptional talent and extraordinary abilities.

Some cultivate themselves rapidly and make great progress, while others are down-to-earth and take one step at a time.

Some have amazing comprehension; they can learn ordinary magic and supernatural powers in no time and master them quickly. They can understand Taoist classics that many people cannot understand in their entire lives with a single enlightenment.

Even so, how many people ultimately achieve their wish and attain immortality?

"Old Demon Youhai has only succeeded halfway. His soul is still alive and has already given birth to a wisp of innate life force. However, his body has already transformed into an evil corpse. The remaining step is for his soul to transform and merge with his body. In this way, he can become an alternative immortal corpse demon."

Zhong Tian said softly, "However, this step is extremely difficult. The body of the Old Demon of the Netherworld is full of corpse energy and death energy, while the soul is the purest. Once it is tainted by corpse energy and death energy, it will be polluted, and the consciousness will also be affected. Taking this step is no easier than breaking through to the Yang God realm."

"That's true..."

Gu Yuan nodded as well.

As you can see, the two powerful Yang Gods, Ancestor Danxia and Divine Lord Zhuque, as well as the Gu God Sect, the Star River Sword Sect, and even the Abbot of Taixu Temple, are all exceptionally talented individuals.
Each of them could be a living legend, yet which of them could be certain that they could achieve immortality?!

Even unconventional methods of achieving immortality are by no means easy.

If even these powerful Yang Gods are like this, what about the mere Old Ancestor Youhai?

After all, when the Old Ancestor Youhai from three thousand years ago reached the end of his lifespan, he was merely a Yin God giant.

To attempt to achieve an alternative form of immortality with the body of a Yin spirit is clearly no easy feat.

At this moment, Zhong Tian handed the dark golden corpse pill to Gu Yuan:
"This item is formed from the essence of the old demon Youhai's life's cultivation. Fellow Daoist, you can keep it. It can be used to refine magic weapons or to make spiritual pills."

Gu Yuan caught it in his hand, stroking the smooth, heavy, hard yet cold-textured corpse pill, like metal, and tossed it up and down:
"Corpse Pill..."

Gu Yuan was naturally familiar with corpse pills. Whether it was the corpse pill of the corpse demon or the white bone relic of the bone fang, they were essentially the same thing as the corpse pill in his hand.

The difference is that the Corpse Pill in Gu Yuan's hand is formed from the essence of a Yin God giant's lifelong cultivation, making it a rare treasure!
If Gu Yuan were to refine it, he could even use it as a vessel to become a spiritual pearl that carries his divided spirit.

It can also be refined into a magic weapon, and there might be a chance to refine it into a top-tier magic weapon in the future.

Gu Yuan shook his head and tossed the Corpse Pill to Zhong Tian: "This is indeed a good thing for me, but it will be more useful to you. You should keep it, Fellow Daoist Zhong."

Gu Yuan wasn't ungrateful or overly stingy.

Although Zhong Tian had said from the beginning that he was only asking Gu Yuan for help, and all other gains would belong to Gu Yuan.

And that's exactly what Zhong Tian did. The corpse pill condensed by the Old Demon of the Netherworld was nothing more than a spirit pearl to Gu Yuan, which could be used to refine magic weapons or for other purposes, nothing more.

But for Zhong Tian, ​​it was even more important.

Because Zhong Tian is now also a demonic corpse, or a corpse cultivator, as long as he refines this corpse pill, not only will his cultivation level increase dramatically, but the wisp of innate vitality contained within the corpse pill will also allow Zhong Tian to undergo a complete transformation, making great strides on the path of the Yellow Springs demonic corpse and saving him thousands of years of effort.

Even so, Zhong Tian was not tempted at all and handed the item to Gu Yuan without hesitation.

Gu Yuan was quite impressed by this temperament alone, as well as his ability to keep his word and remain unmoved by valuable treasures.

If he were in his shoes, he might not have been able to do that either.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, such a person's future achievements are bound to be limitless. After all, Zhong Tian was a rare Golden Core cultivator who had achieved the first rank of Dan in his lifetime.

Even though he is dead, he has transformed into a rare Yellow Springs Demon Corpse.

If you just follow the steps, you will eventually become a Corpse Immortal at the level of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal.

Gu Yuan also had the idea of ​​befriending such a person.

It's just a mere corpse pill. One more wouldn't be of much use to Gu Yuan, and one less wouldn't matter either. On the contrary, a fellow Daoist with boundless potential and the prospect of immortality could be of great help at a crucial moment.

Especially someone like Zhong Tian, ​​who is a man of his word and keeps his promises, is someone you should befriend.

What? You're saying Zhongtian isn't human, but a Yellow Springs Demon Corpse, a demon?
These days, some people are even more filthy than ghosts and evil spirits.

In comparison, Zhong Tian is far superior to many living people.

Zhong Tian took the Corpse Pill in his hand, stared at Gu Yuan for a moment, understood Gu Yuan's meaning, and then put the Corpse Pill away. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask."

“Fellow Daoist Zhong is right. We are destined to meet. From now on, we should help each other.”

Gu Yuanyi made a pointed remark.

Zhong Tian nodded and said nothing more.

Now that the Old Demon of the Netherworld was dead, the two of them went straight into the Old Demon of the Netherworld's tomb and naturally began to loot it.

As for Old Hu and his two companions, they wisely stayed away and watched from a distance.

Not long after, Gu Yuan and Zhong Tian searched around and obtained some good things.

Other things were fine, though they were quite valuable, but the wealthy Gu Yuan didn't care about them.

However, two of the treasures caught Gu Yuan's eye a few more times.

One of the items was a small, iron-gray cauldron, about the size of a human head, its surface covered with mysterious patterns, exuding a bleak, gloomy, deathly, and ominous aura.

Furthermore, its grade is quite high; it is actually a superior-grade magic weapon!
To be precise, it is a magical artifact, an item used exclusively by demonic cultivators.

If a proper cultivator of the immortal path comes into contact with this substance too much, it may pollute their physical body and cultivation, affecting their foundation.

It can be said that this is a rather sinister magical artifact.

This could not be hidden from Gu Yuan and Zhong Tian. They could both see that this iron cauldron was none other than the natal demonic treasure of the Old Demon Youhai!
As for the other item, it was a book with the three large characters "Corpse Nerve" written in true demonic script on the cover, which was eerie and deeply demonic.

Even the material of the book is quite smooth, with a faint yellow sheen, clearly some kind of leather.

The only pity is that the last few pages of this demonic scripture were torn out, leaving only the upper, middle and lower sections, and the most essential section on the primordial spirit is still missing.

Even so, this book is a rare, top-tier Heaven-rank quality, and it holds extraordinary significance for Zhong Tian.
