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

Chapter 538 Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl!

Lu Xue remained silent for a moment, then nodded. In front of Gu Yuan, she took out an iron basin, followed the previous steps, and then performed a few hand seals.

Soon, a white light appeared on the surface of the water in the iron basin.

The white light rippled and began to spread in concentric circles, revealing a distorted and blurry black shadow.

As the ripples on the water swayed, the dark shadow began to become clearer, revealing a human figure.

The figure seemed shrouded in a dark mist, appearing and disappearing indistinctly. Although it was merely a phantom, it exuded an eerie, cold, and mysterious aura that inspired fear in those who beheld it.

This person was none other than the Blood Crying True Man of the Six Desires Demon Sect.

Just as Blood Cry Master was about to say something, his gaze fell on Gu Yuan, and he snorted coldly: "Lu Xue, what's going on here?"

Lu Xue's expression changed slightly, and she was about to explain when Gu Yuan smiled and said:

"Blood Cry Master, please don't misunderstand. It was I who asked Xue'er to do this."

"Oh?"

Blood Cry Master was taken aback, then looked at Lu Xue and said, "Is that so?"

"That's it."

Lu Xue nodded in agreement, and then added, "Elder, this senior is not actually Xiu Yanqing, but rather Senior Wang Chan, who at least appeared on Luofu Immortal Island."

"Huh? Wang Chan?!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Cry Master was clearly surprised. He naturally knew the name Wang Chan, but Blood Cry Master was, after all, a rare Yin God expert. He quickly realized another problem, looked at Gu Yuan, and said, "So it's young friend Wang. May I ask what brings you here?"

He immediately understood that Gu Yuan clearly knew something, but for some reason, he did not kill Lu Xue, obviously not intending to turn against him.

Therefore, Gu Yuan must have some ulterior motive.

"The Master went to great lengths, probably for that thing that seems to be on Xiu Daozhen's body, right?"

Gu Yuan said it casually.

At this moment, the figure of Blood Crying Immortal began to sway, and then wisps of black smoke rose from the water's surface, gathering together to form the figure of Blood Crying Immortal.

At this moment, it was clear that Blood Cry Master had sent an avatar.

"So you know about that thing too, young friend."

Blood Cry Master spoke calmly, his eyes, hidden beneath the black hood, silently scrutinizing Gu Yuan.

"Rest assured, Master, I have no interest in this item. I'm just curious, Master, are you sure that thing is in Xiu Daozhen's hands?"

Gu Yuan asked curiously.

He didn't actually know what that thing was, but he was genuinely curious about it. And if Blood Cry Master and Lu Xue suddenly decided to make a move, or revealed some flaws, it could easily ruin his plan.

Therefore, this is why Gu Yuan took the initiative to reveal his identity (alias) and chat with Xueqi Zhenren.

Although Wang Chan is only a Golden Core cultivator, he is not an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. Even someone like the Bitter Spring Hermit was killed by his two supernatural abilities. If True Immortal Blood Cry wasn't stupid, he wouldn't regard him as a Golden Core cultivator.

Using the pseudonym Wang Chan to gather information from Blood Cry Master served two purposes: first, to find out exactly what that thing was, and second, to explain things clearly to avoid the other party intentionally or unintentionally ruining his plans.

Faced with Gu Yuan's question, Master Xueqi remained silent for a moment, but did not hide anything, and said:

“That’s right. I’m 80% sure that the Thousand-Eyed Pearl is in Xiu Daozhen’s hands, because someone witnessed it with their own eyes back then.”

Thousand-Eyed Pearl? Upon hearing these words, Gu Yuan remained outwardly calm, but his heart stirred.

The Thousand-Eyed Pearl is a peculiar spiritual pearl; to be precise, it is actually the eye of a creature called the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale.

The Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale is a peculiar and rare mythical beast, or rather, an ancient exotic species.

This exotic species is on par with the true dragon. Legend has it that it possesses immense and boundless power, capable of overturning rivers and seas, and is born with the great supernatural ability to control water vapor.

However, thousand-eyed dragon whales are extremely rare. Nowadays, most dragon whales in the East China Sea are hundred-eyed dragon whales. Only a very small number of hundred-eyed dragon whales have a chance to continuously transform their bloodline and become thousand-eyed dragon whales!

An adult Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale is at the level of a True Immortal of the Primordial Spirit.

It's worth mentioning that the "thousand eyes" of the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale doesn't necessarily mean a thousand eyes; it could be a thousand and one, two thousand three hundred, five thousand, or nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine.

The more eyes one has, the more profound one's spiritual cultivation becomes.

The eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale possess extraordinary abilities, including the power to immobilize and petrify. Even a True Immortal with a primordial spirit would find it quite troublesome if struck by them.

Once the eyes of the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale fall off, they will automatically condense into solid spirit beads, which are excellent materials for refining magical artifacts.

but……

Gu Yuan acknowledged that the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale's Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl was a good thing, but at best, it could only be used to refine one magic weapon, so its value wasn't really that great.

Even the Pure Yang Iron and the fragment of the Spirit Treasure Taiyi Golden Bell that Gu Yuan had previously possessed were far more valuable than the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl.

Therefore, it is clear that the reason why the Blood-Weeping Immortal coveted this item was not solely for the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl itself, but for something else entirely.

Gu Yuan's mind raced as he recalled various pieces of information about the cultivation world in the East Sea, sifting through them to find any clues related to the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearl.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart, and Gu Yuan immediately thought of something.

As for the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale, it is extremely rare in the cultivation world of the East Sea nowadays; no one has seen it for at least several thousand years.

However, when it comes to major events related to the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale, there are only a few.

One of them was...

In the cultivation world of the East Sea, during the Middle Ages, a peerless genius was born!
This person's name is unknown; all that is known is that he is called the Whale Rider of the East Sea.

He was a rogue cultivator who, despite having no power or influence, rose through the ranks of cultivation in the East Sea, eventually surpassing many geniuses and prodigies of his generation, and ultimately reaching the realm of a Primordial Spirit True Immortal. He was a prominent figure at the time!

This powerful figure is most famous for fighting five opponents single-handedly, defeating five Nascent Soul True Immortals.

After that, this big shot ascended directly to the Immortal Realm.

As a result, the whale rider of the East China Sea became famous and his name spread throughout the world.

There are rumors that this person unexpectedly obtained the inheritance opportunity of a banished immortal from the celestial realm, which is why he has achieved such success. Others say that this person is a genius who comprehends the Dao of heaven and earth and has grown step by step to where he is today.

However, after the whale rider in the East China Sea ascended to heaven, another rumor quickly spread.

When the whale rider of the East Sea ascended to heaven, his mount, the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale, also ascended to heaven.

However, the Thousand-Eyed Dragon Whale left behind forty-nine Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearls.

Once all forty-nine Thousand-Eyed Spirit Pearls are collected, the cave of the whale rider of the East Sea can be opened, and his inherited treasures can be obtained.
