Chapter 517 Devouring Innate Spiritual Roots!

Since Gu Yuan came directly to the Bitter Spring Hermit's Life and Death Arena after the auction, he must have his own matters to attend to, so he didn't intend to disturb Gu Yuan too much.

As for the other cultivators, some wanted to get to know Gu Yuan and greet him, while others wanted to get close to him, flatter him, and try to find out about his background.

However, Gu Yuan ignored all of these people, only nodding slightly to Yan Chunyang outside the crowd before leaving.

Gu Yuan could feel that at this moment, there were suddenly many more eyes staring at him.

But he didn't care. He took a step and suddenly disappeared from the spot. Even the cultivators who were watching Gu Yuan couldn't find out how Gu Yuan disappeared.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuan had already transformed into Chu He's original appearance and returned to his residence.

After entering the courtyard, he casually waved his hand, activating all the restrictions within the temporary cave dwelling.

Then, Gu Yuan took a step and entered the training room.

Speaking of this trip...

Fighting and killing the hermit of the Bitter Spring on the Life and Death Platform was ultimately a minor matter. What he needed to focus on was acquiring several items at the auction house.

Gu Yuan immediately took out the Seven Treasures Purification Bamboo. Then, a dark purple light appeared on the surface of Gu Yuan's palm, and the Seven Treasures Purification Bamboo was placed in the palm.

To be precise, this dark purple light was a bolt of lightning, filled with countless fine lightning bolts.

However, these chaotic lightning bolts, though domineering and full of destructive aura, were all gathered together at this moment. They did not emit any power, but rather their power was contained, and they began to dissolve the black and gray turbid demonic energy on them.

Thunder magic is inherently quite effective at suppressing evil and malevolent forces.

As for the Chaos Divine Thunder, it is a great divine power of thunder magic, and is extremely effective against it.

The filthy demonic energy on the Seven-Skill Purification Bamboo is of extremely high quality, probably left behind by a powerful Yang God.

Although few in number, they are quite stubborn in nature.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan's Chaotic Divine Lightning was also of extremely high quality, containing a trace of the power of the Thunder Law, which was quite effective in restraining it.

Therefore, Gu Yuan began to wear it down little by little.

Gu Yuan was very patient, and because he had forged the Golden Core, the power and control over these great supernatural abilities had made great progress.

Therefore, it only took five days to completely eliminate the filthy demonic energy in one of the areas.

It took more than half a month to finally cleanse all the filth and demonic energy from this innate spiritual root.

Even so, after being polluted by these filthy demonic energies for so long, this innate spiritual root has suffered a great loss of vitality, and the life force within it has also become weak.

It would be very difficult to plant it and make it survive.

Unless one refines some rare spiritual herbs, infuses them with their medicinal properties, and then irrigates them with spiritual spring water, perhaps it can enhance its life force and allow it to survive.

However, this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there is no guarantee of success.

Moreover, Gu Yuan had never intended to plant it after acquiring it at auction, so he didn't care at all.

Next, Gu Yuan had a sudden thought and released the restraints on the tender sprout of the Creation Lotus within his body.

In an instant, the tender sprout inside Gu Yuan's body, with its tiny, hair-like green roots, seemed to possess a spirit and rapidly grew stronger, spreading along Gu Yuan's meridians and flesh to his palm.

Then, from the skin and flesh of Gu Yuan's palm, those green roots sprouted. These roots were targeting the Seven-Skill Purity Bamboo in Gu Yuan's hand.

Many tiny roots directly entwine the Seven Treasures Pure Bamboo.

The Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo is an innate spiritual root, and its hardness is naturally extremely strong. Although its hardness is not as strong as the Nine Great Divine Metals, it is by no means much weaker.

It is so tough that even attacks from ordinary Golden Core cultivators would have difficulty destroying it; it is much harder than refined gold and iron.

However, beneath these green roots, it was not much different from tofu, and was quickly penetrated.

The wisps of vital essence began to be absorbed and devoured by these green roots.

The Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo is an innate spiritual root. Although it has not developed intelligence, it has some instincts.

At this moment, the spiritual root was attacked by the Creation Lotus and immediately burst out with a bluish-green radiance.

These rays of light wanted to shatter and expel all the blue roots.

However, the roots of the Creation Lotus were unexpectedly resilient.

Beneath this turquoise glow, it showed no signs of retreating or breaking, and continued to extract its essence and vitality.

And so, the Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo began to weaken at an imperceptible speed, and the spiritual light on its surface dimmed.

About ten days later, the Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo in Gu Yuan's hand turned dry and yellow. Even the emerald green bamboo leaves on it had long since dried up and fallen off.

Click!Click!
Suddenly, the withered innate spiritual root made a cracking sound, then shattered and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of wood chips.

The tender sprout of the Creation Lotus within Gu Yuan's body had changed beyond recognition and transformed into a green lotus.

However, this blue lotus was only a little over a foot tall. The lotus was delicate and weak, and its roots and stems were all green, as green as jade, crystal clear and full of spirituality, as if it were carved from jade from the heavens, full of vitality.

but……

The lotus flower is currently just a bud, its petals tightly bound together, and has not yet blossomed into a green lotus.

Even so, Gu Yuan could still sense the vibrant life force contained within this Creation Lotus.

It appeared to be just a single flower bud, but in Gu Yuan's perception, even a vast sea of ​​lotuses stretching for thousands of miles, where all the lotuses' vitality was gathered together, could not compare to the vitality contained within this single blue lotus.

Because this is a primordial spiritual root, the vitality and primordial energy within it are all of the primordial nature!

Under normal circumstances, this kind of innate spiritual root grows very slowly and requires harsh growth conditions.

Fortunately, the environment within Gu Yuan's dantian was also quite good, comparable to the spiritual springs within a blessed land.

So, what was originally a lotus seed has now taken root and sprouted.

Even so, it would take thousands or tens of thousands of years for them to grow and thrive.

However, Gu Yuan obtained the Seven-Skill Pure Bamboo, an innate spiritual root, from the auction. This spiritual root is a mature innate spiritual root. Although it is inferior to its mother plant, the Profound Pure Ancestral Bamboo, it has accumulated a great deal of power.

The Creation Lotus used it as nourishment, completely absorbing its essence, and thus naturally grew stronger.

Although it has not yet truly matured, it is certainly not far from maturity.
