I seek immortality by chance

Chapter 575: Eating Meat to Refine Treasures and Devouring Spiritual Veins

"Crack!"

As the jade dragon soul dissipated, the sound of ice breaking was heard in the void, and then the entire space exploded, and a cloud of frost emerged.

Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly became clear, and the "barrier" in front of Taiyi Lei Gourd slowly disappeared. He was back on the top of the mountain again.

In the air, a jade-colored scale let out a wail and fell to the ground.

This "jade scale" is the culprit that formed this "frost realm".

Judging from its appearance, it is not a disposable treasure, but a special mysterious weapon that can be reused.

Gu Yuan stretched out his hand and took the jade-colored scales, suppressing it with his magic power, preparing to perform a ritual to refine it later.

Then he looked at the motionless jade dragon corpse on the top of the mountain, and then at the golden talisman in his palm whose spiritual light had dimmed a little, and sighed slightly.

Star Yuan Corpse Controlling Talisman.

This is a rare treasure bestowed upon him by the Supreme Lord of Golden Light, Tolo Yuanshan. It is made from the powdered remains of a seventh-rank corpse king. It can draw on the power of the animating stars to revive the "corpse", granting it extremely powerful powers for a short period of time.

This talisman can only be used three times, and he has always treated it as a trump card and never used it easily.

But just at the last moment, the "Jade Scale Small Sword" summoned by the Jade True Dragon was so fierce that it could cut through anything. It was no longer the strength of the middle sixth stage.

This is a spiritual sword made from the scales of a seventh-level true dragon that can kill with one strike. It is extremely powerful.

Even Gu Yuan's innate physical body did not dare to touch its edge.

Although the Three Lives Seal can transform the physical body into vital energy and ignore all kinds of blood and flesh damage, the head can only "fall to the ground three times" in a day. If it falls to the ground all three times, the body will be dead in an instant and it will be beyond salvation. All methods of reincarnation and life-saving techniques will be useless.

In order to kill Yulong, Gu Yuan risked his life and his head had been "chopped off twice". This was the last time and he must not let it fall again.

Therefore, Gu Yuan could only use the Star Yuan Corpse Control Talisman to control the corpse of the Kun beast. In an instant, infinite "water control power" burst out and set up a weak water sky curtain to block the attack.

Although he had the last laugh, the price he paid was not small.

Star Yuan Corpse Controlling Talisman, there are only two chances left.

Apart from the Xingyuan Corpse Controlling Talisman, he also had the vine silk bestowed by the Goddess Xuanji, and the Xuanyang Demon Transformation Seal. He actually had quite a few trump cards.

But what Gu Yuan was worried about was... this was just a descendant of a true dragon without the surname "Ao", but he had already forced out one of his most powerful tricks. What should he do if he met a real dragon son or grandson in the future?

But the matter only flashed through his mind briefly before he suppressed it.

The Yulong clan is the best among the eight prefectures of the Dragon Court. It is not surprising that the dragon genius in the clan has such a trump card.

I just need to become stronger.

"boom!"

As soon as he thought of this, golden flames overflowed from his eyes. He tried his best to activate his Dharma Eyes to look towards the world in all directions. His divine sense also rolled endlessly, exploring all directions.

After making sure that there was no one else spying, he withdrew his gaze and mind.

The Xuanfeng Realm is vast and unparalleled. Even if many cultivators and dragon sons fall into this realm, they are just like a drop of water falling into the sea. It must be a coincidence that this jade-colored real dragon met him. He should not encounter other dragons for a while.

After confirming it was safe, Gu Yuan no longer hesitated. He stretched out his hand and directly put the Taiyi Thunder Gourd into his bag. The corpse of the jade dragon under his feet was also collected by him with the Three Demons Refining God Banner.

The ten "gem beads" that had lost their owners and were trapped in the sword balls were also forcibly taken by Gu Yuan and put into his sleeves.

After doing all this, he turned into a ray of light and suddenly left this place. He opened up a simple cave in a secluded sacred peak thousands of miles away, then set up restrictions, sat cross-legged, and began to recover his magic power.

If the Three Demons' Divine Banner wants to devour the spiritual veins, it will cause a huge noise and require vast magical power to support it.

Although not many magic seals were used in the fight just now, just using all his strength to activate the sword formation had already caused the loss of most of the magic power in his body.

The ability of the Sansheng Yuanming Seal to "avoid disasters three times" was also consumed twice.

Now is a relatively weak period.

There is no rush to devour the spiritual veins, just recuperate first.

……

……

Seven days passed in a flash.

The fragrant smell of meat wafted from the simple cave guarded by the Thunder Waterfall.

Ten balls of golden spiritual fire were suspended in the air, emitting scorching heat. On top of them were ten pieces of crystal clear dragon meat being licked by the spiritual fire, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The dragon meat turns over automatically without wind, every moment, making itself golden, sizzling with oil and full of fragrance.

Gu Yuan was standing cross-legged in the cave, with a ball of golden spiritual fire floating in his palm, which was constantly consuming a crystal clear gem.

On the orb, the jade-colored dragon patterns slowly dissipated, and were replaced by wisps of thunder patterns.

On the side of this gem, there are nine identical gems, but there are flashing lightning patterns on them, obviously they have been completely refined.

"boom!"

After about ten breaths, lightning began to appear on the orb, and the last trace of dragon pattern completely dissipated. The orb completely became Gu Yuan's.

"It's done!"

Gu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

Cold Soul Pearl!
This is the essence of cold air born in the Ten Thousand Years of Ice Abyss in the East China Sea. It is rare in the Middle Earth, and each one is of mid-sixth-order quality. One can freeze thousands of miles of sea and freeze everything.

If ten of them are used together, they can set up the Ten Cold Sky Prison Formation, freezing all treasures and magic, looking eerie and domineering.

Yu Hanshan had previously fought against cultivators from the Hunyuan Dao School, and he was always successful relying solely on this formation.

But now that I have met Gu Yuan, I can only use this method together with the Nine Heavens Thunder and Fire Sword Formation.

On the left and right of the Hanpo Pearl, there are four palm-sized ice crystal scales and a "small jade scale".

These items have been re-refined by Gu Yuan and have become his magic weapons.

Although he had refined the four ice crystal scales, it was difficult for him to use the same "Four Scale Method" as Yu Hanshan to freeze the spiritual energy around him.

This scale is the companion scale of Yu Hanshan, and it can only be activated by his icy dragon energy. In Gu Yuan's hands, it is just four "defective products" that can slightly freeze some spiritual energy.

Fortunately, the dragon's belly of Yuhan Mountain contains a space of heaven and earth, and the secret of the "Ten Cold Sky Prison Formation" is hidden. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the Hanpo Pearl would be greatly reduced.

But what Gu Yuan valued most was the "small jade-colored scales".

This scale is called the Ice Soul Prison Order, and it is a rare treasure passed down by the Jade Dragon clan.

This scale forms its own space that can isolate heaven and earth and put enemy cultivators into the "Ice Soul Prison".

The prison is filled with icy energy. Except for those with a strong innate body like Gu Yuan, any living being that falls inside will have their magic power frozen, their blood and energy coagulated, and their strength will be compromised.

But the most crucial thing is that this prison has the power of "Ice Soul". As long as one is trapped in this prison for half a day, his consciousness will fall into "sleep", just like a "living dead" frozen in ice, and it will be difficult to wake up again.

Yu Hanshan once used this method to entangle a powerful enemy, and finally froze him in one fell swoop, successfully killing him.

Although Gu Yuan has the Six Souls Seal, which allows him to avoid disasters six times, this freezing of the ghost does not mean "killing the soul" but freezing the consciousness. The soul is not dead, so it is difficult to avoid disasters.

But fortunately, his innate body is extremely sensitive to danger, and it would be extremely difficult to trap him for half a day.

"This Jade Dragon is quite wealthy, but it's a pity that the 'Jade Scale Sword' was lost. Otherwise, this would be a good harvest..."

Gu Yuan put away these treasures, and then remembered the scale sword that Yu Hanshan had last given him.

It was a sword made of seventh-level jade dragon scales. It was fierce and ferocious, but it only had one chance. Once it was intercepted, it would dissipate like powder. Otherwise, it could be used as a trump card to make up for the loss of the Star Yuan Corpse Control Talisman. "Eat meat, eat meat. To be honest, this dragon meat is the biggest gain..."

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Gu Yuan's mind moved, and the fragrant golden dragon meat was hanging in front of him. He opened his mouth and took a light bite. Suddenly, an extremely delicious taste exploded in his mouth, melting in his mouth, warm with a hint of coolness, a combination of ice and fire, making him salivate.

“Good meat!”

Gu Yuan couldn't help but admire.

The meat of the Jade Dragon is pure and flawless, hot yet icy cool, truly the most delicious delicacy in the world.

"boom!!"

As pieces of dragon meat entered his stomach, the blood and energy in Gu Yuan's body suddenly became agitated. A warm current flowed into his limbs, making his muscles and bones strong and his strength greatly increased.

During the past seven days, Gu Yuan had been multitasking. Not only had he used Pure Yang Thunder Fire to continuously wear away the dragon patterns on several treasures, he had also been cooking non-stop, roasting and swallowing pieces of jade dragon meat.

“Comfortable!!”

After eating a thousand kilograms of dragon meat, Gu Yuan felt as if his whole body was soaked in a hot spring. Every limb was warm, and his mind became light and aloof, as if he was floating in the air.

"Unfortunately, although this Jade Dragon Flesh is strong, it still has a long way to go before it can break through to the late sixth stage..."

While he was eating, Gu Yuan was also thinking in his mind.

After swallowing the jade dragon, he naturally possessed the power of two dragons. If he fought with Yu Hanshan again, he would be able to force out the opponent's trump card within ten breaths without using the Three Lives Yuan Ming Seal.

But there is still a long way to go before reaching the late sixth stage.

There is a huge gap between the three realms of the Heavenly Spirit, and the same is true for the sixth level of the physical body.

Gu Yuan estimated that in order to reach the late sixth level, he would need the power of four dragons.

"Since Yuhan Mountain can enter the Xuanfeng Realm, it means that the dragon clan has broken through the blockade of the Supreme Lord and entered this realm to seize the Dragon Slaying Platform."

"So, the opportunity here is not only the various natural treasures, but also the dragon race?"

The more Gu Yuan thought, the brighter his eyes became.

If he didn't have the peculiar fate of being a "dragon-eating body", every dragon would be a formidable enemy to him, and every fight would be like licking blood on the tip of a knife and consuming his trump cards.

But after having the "dragon-eating body", he can fight to support himself. As long as he can continue to devour dragon flesh, his physical body may be improved to an incredible level, far beyond the realm of magic power.

As long as you can kill the dragon!
"Thinking about it this way, this place is a blessed place?"

Gu Yuan stood up, looked at the vast mountains in the distance, and muttered to himself.

While the eight sects in the outside world were fighting, he belonged to the Linchuan Dao Sect. The probability of him encountering the dragon clan was not high. Even if he did, with his strength, he might not be able to kill the "little dragon" under the care of many old dragons.

However, this Xuanfeng Realm would inevitably attract the dragon clan to enter, and the entry condition of "under a thousand years old, under the great accomplishment" had automatically blocked those old dragons. If one thought about it carefully, this realm seemed to be tailor-made for him.

As long as you can seize the opportunity, you can soar to the sky!
"call!"

"Don't be careless. There should be true dragon descendants in this world. I'm afraid they won't be easy to deal with. Under a thousand years old, there may be true dragons in the late sixth stage..."

Gu Yuan let out a breath and suppressed the thoughts in his mind.

Yu Hanshan alone forced him to use the Xing Yuan Corpse Control Talisman.

There are still many difficulties in swallowing a dragon to improve the physical body.

"It's a pity that the dragon-slaying weapon that Lady Xuanji mentioned that day is inside the vine silk. Why haven't I seen it yet?"

Thinking of the dragon-slaying incident, Gu Yuan recalled Empress Xuanji's dragon-slaying weapon.

This was the promise made by Empress Xuanji that day, but when the rewards were given out that day, he did not see this mysterious weapon. It was not easy to question her in person, so he could only ask when Xuanshu Yuque was heading towards Xutian Formation.

What Empress Xuanji said that day was that the mysterious weapon was in the rattan silk, and then she refused to say more.

But Gu Yuan had never seen the appearance of this mysterious weapon in all these years.

"Could it be that I need to use the vine silk to see this mysterious weapon?"

Gu Yuan thought to himself.

But Tengsi only has one chance to reach the peak of Tianling. It is a powerful trump card. Naturally, he cannot use it now. He can only keep this matter in his heart.

"There is no point in thinking too much, let's just devour the spirit vein first!"

"Practicing hard is too slow, it is difficult to achieve immortality!"

Gu Yuan suppressed his doubts, waved his sleeves, and put away the thunder restriction in front of the cave. Then he turned into a ray of light and came to the spiritual peak where the Taiyi Thunder Gourd was located.

The sacred peak stood majestically motionless, and the vines on the top of the mountain swayed gently. It was unknown how many years it would take for a new Taiyi Lei Gourd to be born again, or perhaps it would never be born again.

Such natural treasures can only be created by chance, and most of the time a spiritual root can only produce one fruit.

The Taiyi Thunder Gourd is hidden in the Qiankun bag, and Gu Yuan has not yet refined it.

But he was born with a pure yang thunder body, and he could refine all kinds of thunder the fastest, so there was no need to rush.

It is better to devour the spiritual veins as soon as possible and enter the middle stage of the heavenly spirit.

The Star-Swallowing Toad's devouring ability is not omnipotent. After using it once, it needs to cool down for a long period of time, otherwise this toad would have been invincible long ago.

Moreover, the spirit in the Three Demons Refining God Banner was damaged, and its magical powers were greatly reduced, but Gu Yuan estimated that it should not be a problem to help him break through to the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit.

"rise!!"

Gu Yuan stood in the sky, shouted softly, and his magic power surged out, and he sacrificed the Three Demons Refining God Banner.

At first, this banner was only the size of a palm, with gray patterns and bloodstains on the handle, giving it a sense of desolation.

But with the influx of Gu Yuan's magic power, the flag swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it became a thousand feet high, standing between heaven and earth.

The banners fluttered like clouds covering the sky, and a huge shadow obscured the brightness of the sun. All the living beings in the sacred peak felt the sky suddenly darken, as if night had arrived in an instant.

The huge banner handle is so strong that it seems to pierce through the sky and the earth.

"Wow!"

Rays of dark green soul light floated, and the three-legged green toad as big as a mountain above the banner suddenly shone brightly. Its eyes suddenly opened, and it came alive from the banner, transforming into a ghost and hanging in the sky.

Gu Yuan's figure flashed and landed on top of the three-legged green toad.

Standing on the top of the toad, Gu Yuan felt his mind sinking, and in a trance, he and the toad merged into one, indistinguishable from each other.

"swallow!"

Gu Yuanfu suddenly opened his mouth towards the bottom, and the three-legged green toad also suddenly opened its bloody mouth, lowered its head, and swallowed the spiritual peak where the lightning was born in one gulp.

The three-legged green toad looked only a thousand feet in size, but when its mouth was opened, it was as big as the abyss of the sky and could swallow up the universe. It actually swallowed the entire sacred peak into its mouth in one gulp.

On top of the sacred peak, all the rocks and ancient trees were motionless, but deep in the earth, a ray of lightning like flowing clouds and mist was absorbed by a great force and turned into a rolling waterfall of thunder, which was sucked into the huge mouth of the sky.

"boom!!!"

The thunder roared and purple light filled the air. The spiritual energy of an entire spiritual vein was drained in an instant, turning into a ball of lightning that seemed to be real and was swallowed by the three-legged green toad.

Gu Yuan only felt a heaviness in his stomach, as if there was a mountain squatting there, pressing his body down and making it difficult for him to ride on the clouds.

"Wow!"

But his soul light flickered, and there seemed to be a vortex flowing in his abdomen. The mountain actually slowly disappeared and turned into endless magic power, surging in the heaven and earth within his dantian.
