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

Chapter 573 Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill!
After all, Gu Yuan's current spiritual cultivation, after several upgrades and transformations, is no less than that of ordinary Yin God giants.

The Crimson Orchid had negligible effect on him. Even if he swallowed it and refined it directly, it would be of little use to him; it could only be used to exchange for other cultivation resources.

To be honest, Gu Yuan wasn't really tempted. Of course, the fact that the other party was willing to offer something like this showed that they were quite sincere.

Upon seeing Gu Yuan's indifferent demeanor, Wu Tan was initially bewildered, but then quickly realized what was happening.

The person before them was no ordinary cultivator, but a monstrous genius rarely seen even once in thousands of years.

There are even rumors that this person is not some genius or prodigy among the younger generation, but the reincarnation of a powerful Yang God, or even a primordial spirit immortal!

It's not surprising that someone like him wouldn't be interested in this Crimson Orchid.

"What kind of elixir is this?"

Gu Yuan then turned his gaze to the dark golden elixir and asked a question.

That's right, this dark gold pill, about the size of a chicken egg, resembling a metal-cast elixir, is indeed a pill.

However, this pill is not for ingestion, but rather a spiritual elixir for tempering the body, and it is for external use only.

Don't forget, Gu Yuan himself is now a master of alchemy, and his alchemy skills have reached the level of a master alchemist, which is quite profound.

Therefore, although this pill was somewhat strange and rare, it still couldn't escape Gu Yuan's notice, and Gu Yuan easily saw through some of its secrets.

However, the reason why Gu Yuan valued this pill was that after he smelled the medicinal fragrance of this elixir, his body cultivation, which had been somewhat stagnant, actually underwent some rare changes!
This is undoubtedly quite important.

You must understand that once a person's physical cultivation reaches a level like Gu Yuan's, the only way to continue improving is to hone their physique step by step, day after day, year after year.

While it's relatively safe and stable, the rate of improvement is slower.

Perhaps, it would take several hundred years for his physical cultivation to improve significantly. However, such a pace would be unbearable for Gu Yuan, and therefore not advisable.

As for other methods, there are others, such as consuming some rare spiritual herbs and pills, which can also temper the body and improve cultivation.

Then they would travel to those perilous places filled with malevolent energy, using that powerful energy to temper their bodies.

This method can also improve physical strength.

The first method, which Gu Yuan consistently implemented, showed no noticeable effect in the short term.

As for the second method, to be honest, Gu Yuan also knew of some miraculous elixirs that would greatly help body cultivation.

However, these elixirs are not easy to make. Just collecting the materials is a major challenge, requiring a great deal of time and effort.

Gu Yuan doesn't have the time for that.

As for buying it with spirit stones... that's even more impossible.

These kinds of elixirs are rarely made by alchemists. Even if they did appear on the market, they would be quickly snapped up. It would be impossible for Gu Yuan to buy them on his own.

Even if he managed to buy it, ordinary body-tempering pills probably wouldn't have much effect on Gu Yuan.

There's no other reason than that Gu Yuan's physique has already reached a certain level, and unless it's some top-grade body-tempering elixirs, they won't have much effect.

As for using the Qi of Fiends to temper his body, Gu Yuan had indeed considered this idea before. However, since arriving in the cultivation world of the East Sea, he has rarely had any free time.

Every day, he's either busy in seclusion cultivating, fighting with others, auctioning off, taking revenge, or comprehending swordsmanship and the Five Elements Formation. He has no time to temper his physique.

Moreover, this physical tempering also requires a lot of time to see initial results.

On the contrary, this elixir in front of him was unusually effective for Gu Yuan. Moreover, the Dragon Clan was known for its abundant resources and countless treasures, so they probably lacked some magical elixirs for body tempering.

If we could make a deal with them to obtain these kinds of elixirs, it would be a good option.

That's right, the black altar in front of us comes from the Dragon Palace, and its true form is a tortoise!
To be precise, it's a turtle demon, and it has already taken human form—a standard feature of the Dragon Palace.

Gu Yuan had already noticed something about the old tortoise the moment he saw it.

As for the sixth prince mentioned by the other party, it is obvious that he should be one of the sons of the Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and also a descendant of a true dragon.

As for the Dragon King of the East Sea Dragon Palace, he was a true immortal of the primordial spirit, and a peerless figure who was famous throughout the world in ancient times.

Upon hearing Gu Yuan's question, Wu Tan immediately perked up and explained, "Young Master Chu, this pill is called the Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill. It is made primarily of the dragon bone grass, unique to the dragon race, and supplemented with one hundred and eight kinds of top-grade spiritual herbs. It takes forty-nine months of simmering to finally take shape. It has the effect of tempering the body, but it is not for ingestion. It is for external use. It needs to be soaked in water, and then the body is immersed in the water for a medicinal bath to nourish the body."

"The Dragon Bone Grass can only be found in the Dragon Palace. It is based on Snake Bone Grass, and is constantly irrigated with spiritual spring water mixed with dragon blood and nourished with the energy of a true dragon in order to transform into Dragon Bone Grass. It takes thousands of years to fully mature."

"No wonder...no wonder..."

Gu Yuan nodded in understanding. Dragons are divine creatures born of nature. The fact that this item is irrigated with spiritual spring water mixed with dragon blood indicates that it must contain some of the effects of dragon blood. It is only natural that it can be used to temper the body.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and, with a flick of his wrist, stored both items in his storage bag, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
"Indeed, Sixth Prince is truly admirable for his generosity. I will accept the gifts."

"By the way, I'm very interested in this Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill and plan to buy more. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Wu has any way to help me? I can buy it with spirit stones or exchange it for some spirit herbs and spirit iron."

"what?"

Wu Tan was stunned. He had come to invite Gu Yuan, but he hadn't expected Gu Yuan to be so interested in the Black Gold Dragon Bone Pill.

But this is good too. Since there are desires and needs, things will be much easier to handle.

Wu Tan didn't hide anything and said directly, "To be honest, Young Master Chu, this kind of elixir is not easy to refine. It is usually only available to His Majesty, the princes, and the crown princes. If you want it, why don't you come with me to see the Sixth Crown Prince later, and then you can ask him in person. Perhaps the Crown Prince can give you a satisfactory answer."

"Well, that's fine too."

Gu Yuan nodded.

The other party wasn't just there to deliver a gift; they were also there to invite him, something Gu Yuan was well aware of.

"Then I'll trouble Fellow Daoist Wu to lead the way."

"Young Master Chu, you're too kind. Please go ahead."

"please!"
