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

Chapter 530 Fiend Beasts and Fiend Crystals!
Gu Yuan had none of these worries. He was physically strong and was not afraid of the erosion of Yin Sha Qi. He could also easily refine Thunder Pearls.

“These thunder beads were refined by me using Xuanming True Qi and my own Chaos Lightning. Xuanming True Qi is no less powerful than Chaos Lightning in essence, and even dominates the thunder beads. It is extremely powerful because it relies on the power of the True Qi. In that case, let’s just call these thunder beads Xuanming True Qi Thunder Beads.”

Gu Yuan secretly gave these thunder beads a name.

However, now that Gu Yuan has refined a sufficient number of Xuanming Sha Lei Pearls, it's time for him to go back.

Gu Yuan turned around, intending to return the way he came.

However, before returning, they heard several shrill screams.

"Ok?"

Gu Yuan's heart stirred, and he turned his head to look. He then noticed that in the distance, the Yin energy condensed into a cloud-like mist, making this underground world appear shadowy and dimly lit, very mysterious.

However, from his right rear direction, faint screams could be heard.

Moreover, these screams came one after another, indicating that many cultivators were in trouble at the same time.

Gu Yuan originally planned to turn around and leave, not wanting to take any risks. But then someone shouted, "A demonic beast! There's a demonic beast!!!"

Then his eyes lit up, and he saw that most of the people around him who wanted to run away actually turned around without hesitation and ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

"A demonic beast? What is that?"

Gu Yuan was a little confused, but seeing the reactions of the people around him, he understood that the evil beast was clearly a good thing.

Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed a passerby: "Fellow Daoist, may I ask why you people became so agitated after hearing about the Fiend Beast?"

The person Gu Yuan grabbed was a middle-aged Golden Core cultivator.

He was thin, with a calm and serious expression. When Gu Yuan stopped him, his face tightened, and he wanted to get angry and say something.

But when he felt the immense force in Gu Yuan's hand, making his bones crack, his expression immediately softened, and he chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but this fiendish beast is a special creature in this Yin Sha Cave. This fiendish beast is formed from fiendish energy and possesses some degree of immortality, making it very difficult to kill."

"Even if it is killed, as long as its core evil crystal is still there, it can absorb evil energy and recover quickly."

"This kind of ferocious beast has a powerful physique. Its scales, fur, bones, claws, and teeth are all rare and excellent materials for refining magical artifacts and treasures. Most importantly, the ferocious crystal is a top-grade spiritual object that can strengthen the soul, making it extremely rare and precious!"

"A demonic crystal? It can strengthen the soul?"

Gu Yuan was stunned upon hearing this.

Among the many miraculous elixirs in the world, some can enhance physical strength, some can improve cultivation, and others can replenish true qi and magical power.

In short, there are many varieties.

However, elixirs and miraculous medicines concerning the soul are extremely rare and precious.

Whenever such a product appears on the market, it is often quickly snapped up, making it extremely sought after.

For example, Gu Yuan's Heavenly King Nourishing Spirit Pill was so valuable that even if someone offered him a magic weapon, he would never trade it for it.

Because the spirit and soul are related to a cultivator's cultivation at the Yin Spirit, Yang Spirit, and even the Primordial Spirit True Immortal realm.

The stronger one's spiritual power, the more advantageous one will be in these realms, and the more benefits one will receive.

The best example is Gu Yuan himself.

After consuming the Heavenly King Nourishing Spirit Pill, he nurtured his divine soul to an extremely powerful level, possessing a trace of Yin God essence even at the Celestial Realm. Now, his divine soul is comparable to half a Yin God giant, giving him a significant advantage in combat and cultivation.

Furthermore, the stronger and more profound one's spiritual power, the greater the chance of advancing to the Yin or Yang spirit.

Therefore, Gu Yuan was also tempted.

After all, if one could take this opportunity to strengthen one's soul, it would be a rare chance. Not only would it enhance one's foundation, but it would also prevent any bottlenecks when Gu Yuan breaks through to the Yin God Realm.

"Do you know how to use this evil crystal? Should it be swallowed and refined directly, or should it be refined into a pill?"

Gu Yuan asked again.

Swallow it directly... This man almost broke out in a cold sweat. Swallowing that kind of evil energy would be like swallowing poison.
He quickly shook his head with a smile:

"It doesn't need to be refined into a pill, nor does it need to be swallowed directly. You can simply refine it with your magic power."

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Yuan released him and thanked him.

After the other party hurriedly left, Gu Yuan thought for a moment, then also harnessed his escape light and headed forward.

In this underground world, although the light is dim and even cultivators and Golden Core cultivators are affected, those who can come here are no ordinary people, and they all come here with a purpose.

Therefore, Gu Yuan saw that many cultivators hurried away, and in the process, they only intentionally or unintentionally avoided some thick clouds of evil energy and the condensed evil energy on the ground.

As a result, the speed will inevitably slow down.

As for Gu Yuan, he had no such concerns at all, and went straight ahead, crushing any clouds of malevolent energy he encountered.

After a short while, Gu Yuan stopped and looked at a corpse on the ground.

The corpse was mangled beyond recognition, covered in numerous wounds as if it had been torn apart by some kind of sharp claws, yet still retaining wisps of magical power that were emanating from it.

Furthermore, a large hole was ripped out of his abdomen.

However, the corpse had been frozen by the cold, malevolent energy, turning into a hard yet fragile block of ice.

Clearly, this corpse was a Golden Core cultivator in life, who was killed by that ferocious beast.

Based on the traces left by the beast on the ground and on the corpse, Gu Yuan was able to roughly estimate the size of the beast.

Continuing to walk in, before long, a series of shouts and cries came from ahead, as if some cultivators had encountered a ferocious beast and were now engaged in a fierce battle.

Gu Yuan approached and glanced around. He saw several cultivators surrounding a demonic hand.

This ferocious beast resembles a combination of a mandrill and a tiger or leopard. It has a slender body, but its skin is hairless and covered with bluish-gray scales that shimmer with a faint, eerie light. Its claws on its limbs are like sharp scythes, and its eyes emit a bloodthirsty, cold light.

The beast was tall and strong, with bulging muscles, and moved incredibly fast, weaving through the crowd as if it were teleporting.

Often, in the blink of an eye, it would move from left to right, and with a swipe of its claws, it would easily tear apart a cultivator's protective magic artifacts and supernatural powers. Then, with another grab, it would rip the cultivator's body to shreds.

Those Golden Core cultivators were in a better position; their spells and supernatural powers were more powerful, and their defenses were also quite strong. In a short period of time, this ferocious beast simply could not break through their magical artifacts, treasures, and supernatural powers.
