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

Chapter 100: Enter the true Dao, be extremely careful!
After Gu Yuan finished eating the wolf leg, his stomach and intestines moved, crushing the food and beginning to digest its benefits.

The soul-devouring talent was also taking effect, continuously devouring the waves of heat.

A few hours later, when everything calmed down, the chopstick-thick true energy in Gu Yuan's body had increased more than ten times and was flowing endlessly in his meridians.

Even his physical strength has been enhanced to a certain extent!

Wow! Wow!
The jade-green true energy flowed and circulated in the meridians, brushing against Gu Yuan's flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and even slowly seeping into his bone marrow!
A feeling of numbness, itching and pain gradually emerged, as if many ants were drilling and gnawing in the bones.

However, Gu Yuan could feel that his bone marrow was being cleansed slowly and steadily!

Marrow cleansing is the second stage of becoming an innate martial artist.

It means that the martial arts are so profound that they begin to penetrate into the bone marrow, wash away old impurities, replace with new marrow, and transform you completely!

After mastering the skills of refining skin, tendons and bones in the previous martial artist stage, one is often reborn.

But that's not complete.

The bone marrow in the bones has the function of hematopoiesis and is one of the most core and important parts of a person's body.

People often say that a person has truly learned the knowledge and skills only when they have integrated them into his bones and penetrated into his marrow.

The same goes for spiritual practice.

The marrow cleansing stage is to infiltrate martial arts into the bones, so as to fundamentally change one's own bones and become extraordinary.

Others do marrow cleansing by circulating their true Qi day after day, stirring up their Qi and blood, and nurturing it bit by bit, doing it subtly.

Either search for spiritual medicine, kill spiritual birds and monsters, take their essence, blood and spiritual marrow, prepare marrow-cleansing medicine, and cleanse the bone marrow.

In any case, be quite cautious!

Because the process of marrow cleansing does not allow any omissions or carelessness, it is more dangerous than refining bones and organs!
Even the slightest mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.

But Gu Yuan is different!

He has the talents of Turtle Breathing and Soul Devouring, and these two talents are actually subtly cleansing and nourishing the bone marrow.

In other words, he had already started the marrow cleansing process.

However, in the past he had only obtained this benefit passively, but now Gu Yuan was actively cleansing his marrow.

However, the true qi cultivated by Gu Yuan is feminine and pure, and also contains a vigorous vitality.

It is just right for marrow washing!
Swish!
After a while, Gu Yuan opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.

The breath was more than six feet long, like a white sword, piercing the air and taking a long time to dissipate.

Marrow cleansing is a long and slow process.

Even he is no exception, he can only shorten the process.

According to Gu Yuan's own calculations, if he did not have sufficient resources such as elixirs and magic pills to assist in his practice, it would take at least one or two years to achieve perfection in marrow cleansing.

Of course, if there are enough spiritual medicines or monster flesh and blood, the entire marrow cleansing process can definitely be shortened several times, or even dozens of times!
Gu Yuan was not worried about the problem of elixir.

He still had several magical herbs that could solve his temporary needs. And with Ah Huang around, he could continue to find magical herbs for him in Yunmeng Mountain.

Looking at the four little ones again, they were now collapsed on the ground, barely able to walk.

Big Mouth is a Yuan-devouring Snake with the talent of devouring souls. Although he is small in size, he has the biggest appetite!
At this time, the body that was originally as slender as chopsticks, the thickest part had become as thick as the mouth of a bowl. It lay motionless on the ground, looking extremely weird and exaggerated.

If you don’t know, you might think it died of greed!

However, Gu Yuan knew that Big Mouth was quickly digesting the benefits.

Moreover, its growth period has increased from (1%) to (3%), and its size has become much longer.

After it digests all these benefits, it should grow even bigger.

As for Ah Huang and Ah Wu, these two guys are also quite useless. They eat too much and are so full that they can't even stand. Their growth period has also increased.

In comparison, Ao Da has changed the most!
At this time, Ao Da's carapace was dark and thick, covered with ancient and strange patterns, and had a faint metallic texture.

Its limbs, neck, head, and tail are covered with bony protrusions of various sizes, especially on the forehead, where a grayish-white protrusion that looks like a unicorn horn adds a touch of dominance.

The entire turtle is as big as a millstone, more than one size larger than when Gu Yuan first adopted it as his spirit pet.

【Black Armored Turtle (Blue)】

Description: This spirit turtle, with a trace of divine turtle bloodline, possesses a long lifespan and strong vitality. Its carapace is as hard as black iron, offering exceptional defense. It is also incredibly intelligent and possesses a high level of intelligence. Evolving to a "Black-armored Spirit Turtle" requires maturing to a mature Black-armored Turtle, consuming 1200 Dao Yun Points!
Status: normal
Stage: Growth (98%)

……

Aoda's growth period has reached 98%, and it is only two percentage points away from entering the mature stage.

At that time, Gu Yuan can consume Dao Yun points to make it evolve.

This time must not be far away.

Gu Yuan is also looking forward to what kind of talents will be born after Ao Da is upgraded.

In fact, even though Ao Da is not a monster yet, he can be quite scary once he gets angry, even though he looks docile and peaceful.

Not to mention anything else, just its hard carapace is so strong that even a congenital martial artist would not be able to take it down.

Once its bloodline transforms and it evolves into a black-armored spirit turtle, it will definitely become even more powerful! There was still a small portion of the wolf demon's corpse left after being eaten, but Gu Yuan didn't care.

With the appetite of the four little ones, the remaining wolf meat will probably be eaten up cleanly tomorrow, and there will not be any waste at all.

Gu Yuan took out two more things from his arms.

A black leather book that looks antique and must be quite old.

The other item was a jade slip.

These two things were exactly the "Raksha Sutra" and half of the "Black Turtle Hidden Armor Skill" given to him by Old Man Chen.

Gu Yuan immersed his mind in the jade slip, and after confirming that the records in it were correct, he opened the "Raksha Sutra" again.

As a mid-grade earth-level Taoist book, the value of this "Raksha Sutra" is much higher than "Xuangui Cangjia Gong"!
After all, "Xuangui Cangjia Gong" is just a superior martial art, and it can only be practiced to the peak of the innate martial artist.

But the "Raksha Sutra" is different.

Gu Yuan flipped through it carefully and found that this Taoist book was quite detailed from basic to advanced levels.

From the Xuanyin grappling technique used by martial artists to refine the skin, tendons, and bones, to the Luosha visualization diagram used by innate martial artists to refine the internal organs, cleanse the marrow, and change the blood, whether it is internal cultivation or external training, or martial arts for killing enemies and protecting oneself, it has everything.

After reaching the peak of the innate martial artist, there are also methods for building the foundation of Taoism, recording the tricks of collecting various evil spirits, using natural treasures to cultivate the Yin Feng body-protecting Qi, the small soul-searching hand, the ghost-killing curse, the Xuan Yin demon-slaying sword and other magical powers.

With this book, one can achieve the state of heaven and man.

In addition, it even contains methods on how to condense the golden elixir and enter the holy realm after achieving great supernatural powers.

However, this record is incomplete and obviously incomplete.

In other words, this is a Taoist book that directly points to the peak of the realm of heaven and man.

"It turns out that when entering the Heavenly Man Realm, the foundation is the most important! It's like building a house and laying the foundation. Whether you are a martial artist or an innate martial artist, you are all in the process of laying the foundation."

"Only when the body is polished to be pure and strong can it bear the foundation of the Tao and have the basis for cultivating supernatural powers! Otherwise, ordinary people will be directly crushed if they start to cultivate supernatural powers directly."

Gu Yuan studied it carefully and figured out some things.

"Also, the true method of entering the Dao seems to require a certain attribute compatibility. This 'Raksha Sutra' is clearly a method of the demonic Dao, and its nature tends to be cold and strange. It's somewhat incompatible with my current physique and the martial arts I'm practicing..."

Gu Yuan fell silent.

Seriously speaking, the "Raksha Sutra" is indeed a precious book on spiritual practice.

But Old Man Chen had also told him this before.

It’s okay for martial artists and innate martial artists, but once it comes to the true method of entering the realm of heaven and man, they must be extremely cautious.

Because once you practice the true Dharma of Taoism incorrectly, or if it is not in line with your own constitution, attributes and will, it will be too late to regret.

It is impossible to switch to practicing other methods.

Because once the foundation is established, the path is basically determined, which is equivalent to the foundation being laid. If you want to change it, you have to wash away the foundation and start over again!
This is of course impossible!

Not to mention that all the time and effort spent before wasted, just the fact that the foundation of Taoism was washed away was a process of damaging one's own origin.

If you want to start over again, whether you can still build a foundation for the Tao is still unclear.

Moreover, the level of the true Dharma in entering the Dao is also very important.

The higher the grade of the Taoist book, the more profound and stable the Taoist foundation it builds will naturally be, the greater its potential will be, and the more magical powers it can carry.

From this perspective, disciples of major sects obviously do not need to worry about these issues.

Because the major sects of immortality often have systematic and comprehensive methods of cultivation, which have formed their own system.

Just like the "Xuangui Cangjia Gong" practiced by Gu Yuan, it is one of the most famous foundational martial arts in Yaowang Mountain.

After the disciples of Yaowang Mountain have cultivated it to perfection, they can obtain the subsequent true methods of entering the Tao, such as "Guishui Xuanyin Method", "Soft Water True Secret", "Youyue Visualization Picture", etc.

Each of these skills can perfectly carry on the "Black Turtle Hidden Armor Skill", and has the potential to cultivate into a top-grade Taoist foundation, so there is no need to worry about physical fitness or attributes not matching.

Even if there are accidents, you can still choose other ways to enter the Tao.

Anyway, there are thousands of methods in the library, so there is always one that suits you.

But if it were an ordinary martial artist, how could he have the qualifications to be picky?

It's already a great fortune to be able to obtain a true method of entering the Tao and advance to the realm of heaven and man. Do you still want to be picky?
Dream on!
"It seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, I still have to find a way to join Yaowang Mountain. Only then can I obtain the true method of entering the Tao that is more suitable for my cultivation..."

Gu Yuan gently closed the black leather book:

"It's just that now is not the time for Yaowang Mountain to recruit disciples, and my age is not suitable. It will be difficult for me to join Yaowang Mountain."

"Fortunately, I have just started my marrow cleansing, and I am still some distance away from the Heavenly Man Realm. I can still slowly plan something."

For Gu Yuan, Yaowang Mountain is a channel to obtain the true method of entering the Tao.

Fairy Qin, whom I met a few days ago, is actually one of them.

　Thanks to the kind reminders of several readers, I've noticed a discrepancy in the plot of Chapter 95, so I've made a revision. It now states that Gu Yuan agrees to help a woman named Qin hatch a Green Shadow Sword Butterfly egg. Upon success, the reward will be a Green Shadow Sword Butterfly egg. Please be advised.
