\"ding-ling\" sound echoed from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the sound was somewhat sudden, it wasn’t abrupt, carrying a hint of a reminder and inquiry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was someone outside asking whether they could come in now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan naturally knew what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his fingers, and the door to the training room opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhi and Qiu Yue, two women came in one after another, carrying food boxes, wine, spirit fruits, and other items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Gu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women greeted, then placed the dishes from the food boxes one by one neatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four dishes of medicinal cuisine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consisting of assorted tricolor chicken, Jade Belt Pearl Soup, crispy rolls, and steamed red carp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dishes were steaming, full of color, aroma, and taste, making one’s appetite surge just by taking a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main ingredient of the assorted tricolor chicken was a type of special tricolor chicken from the snowy mountains of the northwest, feeding on grass seeds, Spirit Medicine, and Exotic Insects, capable of cleansing five insects and nourishing Primordial Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More marvelous was that the meat of this spirit bird tasted exceedingly delicious, making one unable to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the appropriate ingredients and Spirit Medicine prepared by the head chef, the original flavor of the ingredient was perfectly retained and even elevated further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jade Belt Pearl Soup was made from the seeds of a Pearl Fruit Spirit Medicine, cooked after processing, with a smooth texture, soft and glutinous, rich in Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crispy rolls were the simplest, made from Spirit Grain ground into flour, mixed into batter, pan-fried into pancakes, then rolled with Spirit Melon shreds and honey sauce, fried in black boar oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last dish, steamed red carp, was a type of exotic red carp born in the Spiritual Spring, having some effect of Purification, able to advance the marrow washing progress of an Innate Martial Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After simple and careful cooking, the taste was delicious, making one feel like biting their tongue off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spiritual cuisines, paired with a bowl of excellent Jade Essence Rice, each grain glossy as jade, emitting alluring rice fragrance, were incomparable to any banquet from Gu Yuan’s past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating a meal like this not only greatly benefits cultivation but also suffices for the daily needs of a Celestial Human Realm cultivator for three to five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just this single meal of spiritual cuisine required spending enough Spirit Stones to make an ordinary Loose Cultivator green with envy, impoverished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just a small feast Gu Yuan, as an Inner Sect Disciple, could enjoy once every half month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his daily meals, they were only slightly less exquisite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of enjoyment, along with two beautiful maids serving at the sides, was far better than being trapped in a secret chamber ingesting Jade Essence Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do so many Loose Cultivators in the Cultivation Realm yearn to join Major Cultivation Sects?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it not because joining Major Cultivation Sects allows one to obtain various conveniences and benefits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention True Daoist Techniques, not to mention sect protection, just the daily clothes, food, and use, their monthly allowances are enough to provide for a cultivator’s daily cultivation needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Loose Cultivators?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Spirit Stone, every Grain Avoidance Pill must be accumulated and earned with immense effort and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s resources are limited, cultivation is essentially about seizing destiny from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These cultivation resources are the keys for cultivators to progress towards immortality step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet most of the cultivated resources already collected in the world are controlled by Major Cultivation Sects and Cultivation Families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these cultivation resources and more benefits, joining Major Cultivation Sects is the best route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Gu Yuan could enjoy such meals and use because of his previous victory in a bet against Liu Xinjun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the fellow Inner Sect Disciples, Xia Xiuxue, and Niu Youde, were still eating Jade Essence Pills?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though all three had their names recorded, they had yet to enter Medicine King Mountain and pledge to the ancestral master; strictly speaking, they were not yet Inner Sect Disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Gu Yuan was different, he had already proven his status and identity with his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his cultivation divine techniques and displayed talent, who dared not acknowledge his identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medicine King Mountain would be foolish not to accept such a disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, with He Ling True Master vouching for him, what’s wrong with eating and drinking? Who would dare have a say?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan used chopsticks to tear open the tender outer skin of the assorted tricolor chicken, releasing a rich aroma that was just mouthwatering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan picked up a morsel of meat with his chopsticks, ready to eat, but paused suddenly in his motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qiu Zhi felt a bit curious: \"What’s wrong? Is it that the dish doesn’t taste good, Senior Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without tasting, how could I talk about whether it tastes good or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan smiled slightly: \"I’m just curious, Qiu Zhi, who is your real identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Qiu Zhi looked a bit confused, showing a trace of vigilance: \"What do you mean by that, Brother Gu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Qiu Yue’s expression changed slightly, instinctively sensing a dangerous aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively moved closer to her friend Qiu Zhi, but halted after taking a step because Gu Yuan’s words clearly suggested an issue with Qiu Zhi’s identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Demon Dao, a portion of demon cultivators excels at refining demon heads, such as the Seventy-Two Form Divine Demons, Thirty-Six Formless Divine Demons, or the Seven Emotions Six Desires Mortal Demons, Nine Son Mother Spirit Demons, White Bone Celestial Demons, etc.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan seemed oblivious to the two’s reaction, speaking eloquently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Demon Dao always mysterious and bizarre, there exists a type of demon head called the Formless Yin Demon, trained with various desires and thoughts, invisible, intangible, yet inexplicably unpredictable, capable of hiding within human bodies, difficult to detect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Necessarily, it would steal a person’s thoughts, memories, gradually replacing someone from the ground up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the Cultivation Realm, there are cases where cultivators emerge from seclusion with changed personalities, erratic behavior, or the suddenly resurrected dead, all due to Yin Demons possessing them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Gu Yuan looked at Qiu Zhi, graceful and beautiful as she was, with a hint of pity in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, you are you, but also not you anymore. Because a Formless Yin Demon has already hidden within your Divine Soul, stealing your thoughts and memories, now you are only a layer of skin for that Formless Yin Demon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Yuan’s words struck like thunder, startling Qiu Yue beside him, whose hand trembled, dropping the wine jug, smashing and splashing the wine everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Yue herself was terrified, retreating a few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Qiu Zhi, then at Gu Yuan, she was alternately scared, panic-stricken, not knowing what to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiu Zhi forced a smile, saying hesitantly, \"Brother... Brother Gu, don’t joke with me anymore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here on the Dragon Boat, there is the Ancestor of Withered Wood guarding it, how could any Yin Demons or Divine Demons sneak in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while saying this, Qiu Zhi didn’t notice that several lines of cracks appeared on her forehead, like wounds, or like closed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now several eyes were moving slightly under the skin, as if eyeballs were rolling under the eyelids, yet Qiu Zhi herself was unaware of any clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Qiu Yue was speechless with fright, her face as pale as paper, instinctively taking two steps towards Gu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She now started believing Gu Yuan’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>",1287,"2026-05-30T08:25:05.604Z","2026-06-01T04:30:45.896Z",1,"novelbin.me","348c7e0311291bca1649361298bc7e9c41f99d7dd45439b94774cf8e58ec54b5","beast-taming-sharing-pets-abilities-chapter-178","beast-taming-sharing-pets-abilities-chapter-176",606,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbeast-taming-sharing-pets-abilities-cover.jpg"]
