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

Chapter 468 Changes After Core Formation!

This initially made Fairy Qingmu somewhat incredulous, but she quickly came to believe Gu Yuan's words.

Because Gu Yuan had no reason to deceive himself, nor could he deceive her.

Moreover, if one did not possess an unprecedented foundation of strength, one would probably not have been able to attract that kind of lightning tribulation.

Fairy Qingmu was no fool; she had actually noticed some clues during the lightning tribulation.

The appearance of this tribulation was clearly because Gu Yuan was too abnormal and too special, so he was "unacceptable to the world" and thus incurred the wrath of the heavens, which led to the tribulation.

This made a special thought pop into Fairy Qingmu's mind—just what grade was the golden core that Gu Yuan had forged!
"Forget about compensation, but I wonder if you'd like to become my disciple?"

Fairy Qingmu's gaze swept over Gu Yuan for a moment, then she suddenly spoke up, "Your talent and opportunities are unprecedented, at least I've never seen anything like them before. So, if you're willing, I can take you as my last disciple. From now on, you will be the future master of Jade Magpie Island. What do you say?"

"Take me as your disciple?"

A strange look appeared on Gu Yuan's face.

How come these people want to take him as their apprentice as soon as they find out some of his background? He's really popular.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. It's almost predictable that he has a bright future and unlimited potential. Once you take him as your disciple, you might be able to gain a true immortal in the future, and he might even be able to help his master in return.

However, Gu Yuan refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, senior. My master is still alive and has been very kind to me. I have no intention of changing my allegiance."

Hearing this, Fairy Qingmu was not disappointed, as if she had expected Gu Yuan's answer. Her expression remained calm as she said, "Since you are unwilling, then forget it. Alright, you can leave now."

After saying that, Fairy Qingmu waved her hand, letting Gu Yuan leave on his own.

This decisive and efficient manner surprised Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't leave just like that. After a moment's thought, he smiled and said, "This junior borrowed your dojo to forge my golden core, so I owe you a favor. If you need any help, please feel free to ask. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely do it without hesitation."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Fairy Qingmu was clearly surprised. A half-smile appeared on her beautiful face as she said, "Oh, a favor? You little fellow are quite interesting... Alright, I'll remember your words. You can go back now. Also, regarding the tribulation just now, no one knows it was because of you."

Without waiting for Gu Yuan's reply, he waved his hand, and Gu Yuan vanished from the spot.

……

Gu Yuan felt a blur before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he was already near Yu Qiubai's cave.

Even some onlookers nearby, seeing that the lightning tribulation had disappeared, have come to check the situation.

Gu Yuan's appearance was somewhat abrupt, but the people around him did not find anything unusual about it.

At most, they were just curious about Gu Yuan's unfamiliar face, so they took a few more glances.

However, there are many cultivators on Jade Magpie Island, and although many of them are disciples of Jade Magpie Island, they may not know each other.

Moreover, since their ancestor, Fairy Qingmu, was stationed on the island, no one found anything unusual.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, are you alright?" Yu Qiubai was also there. Upon seeing Gu Yuan, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then felt surprised.

The lightning tribulation he just experienced was too fierce; he still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it.

If he had been still in the cave, he might not even have a complete corpse left.

Judging from the timing, Gu Yuan escaped a bit late, and it's unknown whether he was affected by the lightning tribulation.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Yu."

Gu Yuan smiled, also quite fond of Yu Qiubai in front of him.

Such honest and kind-hearted people are extremely rare in the cultivation world.

But didn't Yu Qiubai suspect him? Could it be that Fairy Qingmu did something just now? Or perhaps Fairy Qingmu covered for him?
Yu Qiubai nodded, then deliberately lowered his voice and said, "That's good. I don't know what happened just now, but a tribulation of lightning descended. My senior uncles and brothers said that someone had cultivated some extraordinary supernatural power or refined some treasure, which is why the tribulation of lightning was attracted just now."

"Yes, that's possible."

A strange glint flashed in Gu Yuan's eyes, but he nodded in agreement and said, "The cultivation world of the East Sea is blessed with outstanding people and resources. Perhaps a cultivator has refined some kind of treasure, which is why it attracted the lightning tribulation."

"It's a pity about your cave dwelling, Fellow Daoist Yu. It's been severely damaged in this battle. How about this, I'll use your cave dwelling for my seclusion. I can't help you with anything else, but I can still lend a hand."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan took out a storage bag containing some spirit stones and some spirit herbs, which were quite valuable, and then handed it to Yu Qiubai.

"No, Fellow Daoist Gu, you are my savior. It is only right that I invite you to be my guest. How can I accept your things?"

Although Yu Qiubai was honest and simple, he was also quite stubborn. No matter what Gu Yuan said, he refused to accept the contents of the storage bag.

Helpless, Gu Yuan had no choice but to put it away, cursing the fool under his breath.

Originally, some people were thinking of searching around to find the culprit that had attracted the lightning tribulation, but not long after, Fairy Qingmu spoke up, telling people not to pursue the matter, which surprised some people, but they did not investigate further.

Yu Qiubai's and the others' cave dwellings and their protective barriers were all damaged to some extent, so they moved to another place and set up a simple temporary cave dwelling as their temporary residence.

After Gu Yuan and Yu Qiubai changed places, Gu Yuan entered a training room, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to examine certain changes in his physical cultivation.

Compared to before he formed his core, what now flows through Gu Yuan's body is no longer Taiyuan True Qi, but Taiyuan Magic Power.

Well, saying it's Taiyuan magic power isn't actually accurate.

Because Gu Yuan's magical power has exceeded the scope of the "Taiyuan True Water Scripture", it is a product of the Golden Elixir formed by the fusion of essence, spirit, various divine powers and soul on the basis of his original true qi.

Compared to the original Taiyuan True Qi, its quality and essence have clearly risen by more than one level. Not only is its power greater, but the various spells and supernatural abilities it can activate are also much more wondrous!
Furthermore, the life spring foundation within the dantian has now disappeared, replaced by a round, golden, and peculiar golden pill that emits a faint purple-gold radiance.

Wisps of magical power, like smoke, permeated his dantian.
