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

Chapter 556 Five Elements Spiritual Materials!

"Yes, now we should find materials to refine the five Five Elements Flying Swords, but if we're going to refine them, we have to refine the best ones."

Gu Yuan pondered to himself, "This Five Elements Sword Dao Formation is clearly the foundation of my future primordial spirit, so it obviously cannot be used casually."

Gu Yuan has only initially grasped the Golden Core realm portion of this Five Elements Sword Dao Formation, and is still far from achieving true perfection. However, this doesn't bother Gu Yuan; he can continue to comprehend it when he advances to the Yin Spirit realm...

In addition, Gu Yuan had also considered the foundation of the formation, namely the five flying swords of the five elements.

He has two choices.

The first option is to search for materials of the five elements, such as divine metal, innate spiritual root, innate true water essence, fire spirit mother, nine heavens breathing soil, or earth mother stone, and refine each of these materials into a flying sword as the foundation of his five elements sword formation.

This option is good, but the downside is that the materials are hard to find.

Leaving aside the difficulty of finding the Nine Divine Golds, the other four materials are no less difficult to find than the Nine Divine Golds.

For example, the innate spiritual root, the spiritual bamboo that Gu Yuan obtained before, was actually one of them, but unfortunately it was later devoured by Gu Yuan's Creation Green Lotus and turned into ashes.

As for other innate spiritual roots... such things are usually right under the noses of the big shots in those immortal sects.

They are probably all seen as the lifeblood and the most precious treasure by those powerful Yang Gods and Primordial Immortals. If Gu Yuan were to make a move on them, it would be no less than pulling teeth from a dragon's mouth. He would probably be discovered immediately, and he would be the one who suffers the most.

Furthermore, regarding the essence of innate true water... the Xuanming True Water used by Gu Xuanqing earlier could be considered a kind, and the Taiyuan True Water that Gu Yuan condensed after reaching the Yin Spirit realm could also be considered a kind.

but……

Gu Yuan himself needs to reach the Yin God realm to condense the Taiyuan True Water. If he really waits, he probably doesn't know when he will be able to do it. By then, he will be hungry at night.

As for the Xuanming True Water that Gu Xuanqing condensed before, it was not pure and was not yet ready to be refined.

Even after refining, it is still just innate true water. As for the essence of innate true water, it is a more profound substance. It requires a powerful Yang God or even a Primordial Spirit Immortal to use magic power to melt the innate true water. The resulting essence of innate true water is of a grade no less than the nine great divine metals and is a good material for refining magic treasures and spiritual treasures!
Such treasures, even if they exist, are usually kept and used by cultivators themselves. Once they appear in the world, they are usually only used for transactions between cultivators, which is not what Gu Yuan envisioned.

Fire Spirit Mother is a substance formed from true fire.

For example, if a certain fire becomes too intense, over time it will often condense into some true fire essence.

Over time, these essences of true fire can easily develop spirituality, transforming into a kind of fire spirit, which can be considered an alternative form of life.

Once this fire spirit reaches a certain level of maturity, it will have the opportunity to develop a kind of essence core within its body. This essence core is actually a kind of refining material, and its attribute is fire, making it a top-grade item among fire materials.

However, such things are even rarer than the Nine Great Divine Metals, so Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't even dream about them.

Then there's the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, a legendary material that Gu Yuan had only ever seen in ancient texts, never in person.

Legend has it that this "Nine Heavens Breath Soil" possesses some kind of divinity, and that the ancient gods used this material when creating humankind. Of course, mythology is mythology, but at least one thing is certain.

This divine object has the effect of nourishing all things. Even if a withered spiritual root is planted on the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, it can sprout and regenerate after a period of time.

As for the Earth Mother Stone… this thing is no less remarkable. It is formed over millions of years from the deepest part of the earth, where the earth's energy is most concentrated. It is exceptionally heavy and hard, containing a majestic and profound spiritual essence, much like the earth itself. Similarly, this item is quite rare, a top-grade spiritual material for refining spiritual treasures!
These materials are excellent, but they are extremely difficult to find. Even top-tier powers like Jade Bridge Immortal Palace and Luofu Immortal Island would find it difficult to collect them all, let alone Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan didn't have the energy to search for these things.

As for settling for second best and choosing other spiritual materials that are slightly inferior, that's not impossible, but Gu Yuan is the type who would rather have nothing than something bad, so he naturally looks down on materials with lower potential.

Even if he were to actually refine it, it would most likely only reach the level of a spiritual treasure in the future, at which point it would be of little use to Gu Yuan.

Therefore, Gu Yuan abandoned this option immediately.

As for the second option...

Actually, the second option is quite simple: use materials that possess all five elements to refine the flying sword.

In the cultivation world, there are many spiritual materials with a single attribute, and some with two attributes, but spiritual materials with three or four attributes are extremely rare.

As for spiritual materials that possess all five elements... although they are rare, they do exist.

For example, the Five Spirit Tree, the Five Elements Immortal Iron, the Five-Colored Stone, the Five Spirit Pearls, etc...

There is only one Five Spirit Tree in the world, which grows inside the mountain gate of the Five Elements Immortal Palace in the Central Plains.

The Five Elements Immortal Palace is an ancient and powerful force, a true holy land for cultivation, ranking among the top three in the Central Plains. Not only does it possess spiritual treasures to suppress its fortune, but it also has primordial spirit immortals residing within.

Instead of trying to take advantage of this spiritual root, it would be more straightforward to just hang yourself somewhere.

The Five-Colored Stone shares the same name as the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and is a rare treasure of the same level, which needs no further explanation.

As for the five-colored pearl, it is a product nurtured by a type of five-colored divine clam found in the deepest part of the sea. However, adult five-colored divine clams are comparable to the thousand-eyed dragon whale, the true dragon, and the divine phoenix. Moreover, it is said that they became extinct as early as ancient times, and it is unknown whether they can still be found now.

The Five Elements Immortal Iron alone is one of the nine divine metals, of sufficient grade and possessing the attributes of the five elements, making it fully qualified to refine his five Five Elements Flying Swords!
However... to be honest, although this item exists in the world, it is one of the nine divine metals, and it is valuable and rare.

It will probably not be easy for Gu Yuan to find enough.

After thinking it over, Gu Yuan decided that he should ask Xu Haoran of Luofu Immortal Island and Yan Chunyang of the Rift Heaven Sword Sect to help him search for the missing person.

The forces behind these two are quite powerful, and they have many sources of information, so they should have some information... right?

Next, Gu Yuan simply moved to another place, opened up a new cave dwelling, and then sent an avatar to continue to Luofu Immortal Island.

The main body, however, hid away and continued its seclusion.
