Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet

Morning.

Gu Yuan arrived at Jade Cauldron Tower, entered the hall, and went straight to the warehouse on the second floor.

At the entrance of the warehouse, Old Chen was still the same, sickly and weakly leaning on the chair.

Seeing Gu Yuan, Old Chen was not surprised. He glanced at him and simply said:

"Boy, why are you here? Could it be... Hmm? Wait a minute!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up, his old, dim eyes staring intently at Gu Yuan, as if he had noticed something.

The chair under his buttocks shattered with a "crash" sound, pulverized by a wisp of true energy unintentionally stirred up by him, scattering all over the ground.

However, Old Chen didn't even glance at it.

With a shift of his body, he appeared in front of Gu Yuan in a flash.

He reached out and grabbed towards Gu Yuan.

"Damn, is this old geezer crazy?! Why is he attacking me..."

Gu Yuan was vigilant and quickly retreated.

But even if he was fast, how could he be faster than a Celestial?

Although Old Chen's foundation was damaged, he seemed to have retained some of his cultivation.

No matter how Gu Yuan dodged, he followed closely like a shadow.

His palm gently pressed on Gu Yuan's shoulder, and Gu Yuan froze in place, unable to move at all.

Old Chen's palm was shriveled and ugly like a chicken claw, but when it pinched him, Gu Yuan's bones ached faintly.

"Smooth skin, strong bones, deeply hidden Qi and blood, spirit as one..."

Old Chen only pinched Gu Yuan's shoulder and seemed to understand his physical condition, saying with a face full of disbelief:

"Boy... You've actually mastered the 《Black Tortoise Armor》?!!"

As he said this, Old Chen's lips trembled, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Heaven have mercy, he had only passed this martial art to Gu Yuan for five days.

In his opinion, it would be good enough if this kid could figure out the cultivation sequence and steps of the 《Black Tortoise Armor》 in just five days.

As for mastering it, even he himself had spent more than two months under the guidance of his teacher to achieve it.

In the eyes of the Elder who taught the art in the sect, this was already considered outstanding.

Then what was it to Gu Yuan to master it in five days?

A peerless genius?

A monster?!

Of course, he didn't know that Gu Yuan hadn't actually spent five days, but had only cultivated for half a day to officially master it, otherwise he would have been even more shocked.

Although most of this was due to the Black Armored Turtle's hibernation talent.

But strictly speaking, Gu Yuan now also had the hibernation talent, so it was not an exaggeration to say that Gu Yuan was a peerless genius.

Of course, this was only limited to cultivating this 《Black Tortoise Armor》.

If he cultivated other martial arts, he might reveal his true form.

"What's wrong with mastering it? Is it that strange?"

Gu Yuan pretended to be puzzled.

"What do you mean, what's wrong?"

Old Chen glared and puffed out his beard, wanting to explain, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say. After a moment, he said:

"《Black Tortoise Armor》 is one of the many foundation-building martial arts of my Medicine King Mountain. Although there are a few supreme martial arts that are more profound than it, this horizontal training has one advantage: after it is completed, it has a greater advantage and benefit for cultivating water-attributed divine powers and spells after building the Dao Foundation."

"Only because the cultivation difficulty is high and it takes too long, this martial art is not taken by many disciples."

"You only spent five days to master it. At least I have never seen anyone cultivate so fast... Even those true disciples and Dao seeds in the sect have never had this kind of speed..."

Seeing the old man's loss of composure, Gu Yuan realized that his progress seemed to be very extraordinary.

However, when he heard Old Chen's knowledge about the Celestial Realm cultivation, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Old Chen, according to you, can one only cultivate divine powers and spells after building the Dao Foundation?"

"But I remember that Wei Chuan and Old Mo were both Innate Martial Masters and had used spells before, right?"

Who was Old Chen? Naturally, he saw through Gu Yuan's little thoughts, but he didn't care and said coldly:

"Hmph, what do you know? Let me ask you, what are spells? What are divine powers? What is the difference between spells and divine powers?"

Gu Yuan blinked and couldn't say anything.

He didn't really know these questions. He had only seen them in books. Divine powers seemed to be more profound than spells.

Seeing Gu Yuan's reaction, Old Chen snorted heavily again and said:

"Spells are methods of using one's own true energy as a foundation to attract the heaven and earth's vitality. Due to different systems, attributes, and functions, the external manifestations are also different, but they are nothing more than used for attack, defense, and assistance."

"As long as you know the secrets, ordinary Innate Martial Masters can use ordinary spells. Even some shallow small spells can be used by ordinary people at the cost of essence blood vitality."

"But divine powers are different. Divine powers are things that can only be cultivated after building the Dao Foundation. They are also part of the Dao Foundation of us cultivators. They have all kinds of incredible, rule-breaking abilities. They will also improve with the improvement of our cultivators' cultivation."

"Overall, spells are more common, while divine powers are only qualified to be cultivated by cultivators above the Celestial Realm."

Seeing Gu Yuan listening attentively and absorbedly, Old Chen rarely became interested in being a teacher and couldn't help but say a few more words:

"Divine powers also have ranks, including lower, middle, upper, and supreme ranks."

"It is said that above divine powers, there are also great divine powers. Some amazingly talented peerless geniuses, born Dao seeds, once cultivate a great divine power in the Celestial Realm or the Saint Realm, they will have a chance to refine the Yin God, cross the Dragon Gate, and achieve the Yuan God True Immortal Dao Fruit, thus achieving immortality and great freedom! Great freedom!"

As he said this, a few traces of loss and envy appeared on his face. He changed his tone and said:

"Of course, such people are rare after all. And there are no absolutes in the world. There are also some spells that are so miraculous that they are not inferior to divine powers."

"As for the 《Black Tortoise Armor》, once it is completed, it can inherit many Dao entry true methods, especially water-attributed true methods. This technique has certain benefits for condensing water-attributed divine powers. Even if it is not much, it is the biggest advantage of this technique, enough to make many people flock to it."

At this time, Old Chen looked at Gu Yuan and said with certainty:

"I took a look and found that your bones are nothing special. But since you can master it so quickly, it shows that you may really have some special potential. In the future, if you get the corresponding Dao entry true method, you will also have a chance to be promoted to Celestial."

"Xia Mingyang and the others probably misunderstood you. What is iron bones and soft tendons? It's just that your physique has some innate talent. Compared with your potential, it's far worse!"

"If I were younger, I might really take you as a disciple. And with your aptitude, it would be more than enough to join my Medicine King Mountain as an inner disciple. It's a pity..."

Speaking of this, Old Chen shook his head slightly, seeming a little regretful.

If he had encountered this kind of Dao cultivation seed ten years earlier, he would not have let it go.

But he was already old and his foundation was damaged. Revenge had become his biggest obsession. He had no energy or time to train disciples.
