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

Chapter 536 Fiend Crystal? Soul Crystal!
"Forget it, whatever that thing is, it has nothing to do with me. It would be best if I had the chance to get it, but it doesn't matter if I don't."

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then, too lazy to think about it any further, decided to get down to business first.

His purpose in coming to Little Iron Cloud Island was actually to kill Xiu Daozhen to avenge himself and vent his anger.

However, judging from what Lu Xue and Blood Crying Immortal said, Zheng Xingkong is also a Yin God giant, and he has been refined into an avatar by Hun Tian Laoren. The master and disciple are both on the island. As such, he cannot act rashly.

At the very least, one should plan carefully before taking action.

Xiu Daozhen was one thing, but suddenly he was on the Dragon Ranking and belonged to someone who had cultivated great supernatural powers, but Gu Yuan still had a way to deal with him.

The old man Hun Tian was different. Although he was only a clone at the Yin God realm, Gu Yuan knew that this person was definitely much more difficult to deal with than Xiu Daozhen.

Therefore, we should look for opportunities first, and then decide how to proceed.

As for what he needs to do now, it is to refine the evil crystal he obtained from killing the evil beast in the Yin Sha Cave a few days ago.

With a thought, nine evil crystals appeared before Gu Yuan.

These evil crystals vary in size.

The smallest is only the size of a pigeon egg, gleaming with a bluish-gold light that is soft and not dazzling.

The largest one was the size of an egg, a golden crystal that looked like glass. It was warm to the touch, and a cool aura seeped out from it, flowing into Gu Yuan's body, invigorating his spirit and nourishing even his soul.

This evil crystal was naturally obtained by Gu Yuan from the evil beast king.

Gu Yuan raised his hand, and a surge of magical power swept out, enveloping all the evil crystals. Then, he used the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power to begin refining their essence.

Soon, these evil crystals began to be worn down little by little, and after collapsing, they turned into mist. Then, in an instant, Gu Yuan refined them into strange essence, which was absorbed and refined by the divine soul in his sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows.

These evil crystals are actually also called soul crystals.

The reason it is called this is because the various yin and evil energies in the Yin Sha Cave originate from the corpses of fallen cultivators, demons, and ferocious beasts from ancient battlefields.

Due to changes in the world and various other reasons, these corpses were gradually buried deep underground, and over time, they gradually transformed into various kinds of Yin and evil energy.

Within these Yin and Sha energies, there are also the souls of some demonic beasts, ferocious beasts, and cultivators. After being tempered by various Yin and Sha energies over time, these souls, combined with the Yin and Sha energies, have been transformed into evil beasts.

The evil crystal is the core essence of the evil beast.

In other words, these evil crystals are actually solid spiritual objects formed from the essence of the soul. After being refined by the power of heaven and earth and transformed by evil beasts, they have become treasures that cultivators can refine.

This substance is extremely hard and stubborn.

If it were anyone else, it might take three days to refine even the smallest piece. But Gu Yuan is different. After all, he has high magical power and has also cultivated the Devouring Heaven and Earth Divine Power, making it much easier for him to refine than for other cultivators.

Several hours later, the nine evil crystals shattered one after another, turning into dust and scattering on the ground. The essence within them was completely digested by Gu Yuan.

At this moment, within Gu Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, his soul had clearly undergone another transformation.

The divine soul, which was originally more than three inches tall, has now grown to five inches. Not only has it become larger, but it is also much more solid than before.

If his original level of spiritual cultivation was around 40-50% of that of a Yin God giant, it has now reached 60-70%, showing no signs of weakness whatsoever. Currently, while Gu Yuan's cultivation level is considerably lower than that of a Yin God giant, his spiritual cultivation is clearly quite close to the Yin God realm.

It is conceivable that once he cultivates to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm, he will not encounter any bottlenecks or obstacles when breaking through to the Yin Spirit realm.

The key to breaking the elixir and concentrating the spirit lies not in breaking the elixir, but in concentrating the spirit, which is to say, condensing the Yin spirit!
Because breaking the elixir is not difficult; the difficulty lies in how to condense the Yin spirit.

To put it simply, condensing the Yin spirit involves taking one's own soul into the Golden Core after it has matured, actively breaking the Golden Core, and then using the soul to devour the various supernatural powers nurtured within it, thus creating the Yin spirit!

However, Gu Yuan's Yin Spirit had almost solidified into a tangible form without even needing to shatter his core, which saved him far too much time and energy.

Furthermore, once he truly shatters his core and condenses his Yin spirit, his foundation will be far stronger than that of other cultivators of the same level!

In any case, Gu Yuan was in a good mood.

……

Several days later.

Gu Yuan savored some spiritual delicacies and wines on the table in front of him. After he had eaten and drunk his fill, a maid served him spiritual tea.

After rinsing his mouth, Gu Yuan waved for him to leave.

Soon, only Gu Yuan and Lu Xue remained in the room. At this moment, Gu Yuan turned his gaze to Lu Xue and asked, "Tell me about the thing I asked you to keep an eye on. What has happened on the island recently?"

"Yes, Third Young Master."

Lu Xue's face was calm and dignified, with a glint in her eyes. She then began to recount the various events, both big and small, that she had learned about on the island during this period.

Gu Yuan listened carefully, nodding occasionally in agreement. After Lu Xue finished explaining the situation, Gu Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Keep an eye out for similar things in the future."

Lu Xue's eyes flashed, and she said, "Third Young Master, the Eldest Young Master did send someone over a few days ago, saying that you should go and see him after you come out of seclusion."

"Young Master?"

Gu Yuan smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

Xiu Daozhen had hundreds of descendants, but not all of them became successful. The vast majority of them either lacked talent in cultivation, had short lifespans, or died of old age.

Only those who advance to the Celestial Realm or Golden Core Realm can gain some status on this Little Iron Cloud Island.

As for the young master that Lu Xue mentioned, he was not actually Xiu Yanqing's older brother, but rather one of Xiu Daozhen's grandsons who shared only a few bloodlines with Xiu Yanqing.

With Xiu Daozhen's tacit approval, all of his descendants, including Xiu Yanqing, were actually engaged in open and covert struggles, competing with each other, and even killing one another!

Only those who survive and stand out can gain Xiu Daozhen's attention.

So, the reason why Xiu Yanqing's older brother sent someone to find Gu Yuan was probably because he didn't have anything good in mind!
If it were the original Xiu Yanqing, he might have been somewhat wary, but as for Gu Yuan... he didn't care at all, and even thought about whether he should take the opportunity to eliminate all of Xiu Daozhen's descendants when he finished his business and left.
