Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 337 - 336: Life Substitution Puppet

If the Power of Primordial Magnetism can be continually cultivated, it can eventually be refined into the Innate Primordial Magnetic Power, which can counteract the five elements and reverse the five elements, possessing immense power.

Gu Yuan wanted to find it, planning to learn from it and study it, drawing upon its essence, but unfortunately, he did not find it. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

It seems that this rat cultivator acquired it by chance as well.

Although Gu Yuan was a bit disappointed, he did not take it too much to heart. If he could obtain this cultivation technique of Primordial Magnetism, it would naturally be best, but not obtaining it wasn’t a great loss.

As for the other item, it was rather peculiar.

It was actually a wooden sculpture, to be precise, a wooden figure that greatly resembled the rat cultivator.

This rat cultivator’s wooden sculpture was about the size of a fist, likely carved from some mysterious spirit root, presenting a dark red color. It was carved with intricate detail, even the rat cultivator’s hair, and facial lines were clearly visible.

However, at this moment, the surface of this wooden sculpture was faintly covered with fine cracks, along with some charred marks. Especially at the chest area of the sculpture, there was a small hole, with the edges entirely charred.

Gu Yuan’s gaze shifted as he recalled when he had previously fought with the rat cultivator, his Thunder Spear had clearly struck the rat cultivator, yet the rat cultivator emerged unscathed, with no injuries or lightning strike marks.

"Could it be this wooden sculpture is a Life Substitution Treasure, saving the rat practitioner at that critical moment by transferring his injuries onto the sculpture?"

Gu Yuan conceived a hypothesis, and although it was a mere guess, he felt he might have uncovered the truth.

After examining it closely, Gu Yuan contemplated and simply infused his Divine Thought into it. However, when his Divine Thought touched the sculpture, it was like touching something hard and bounced back directly.

Gu Yuan’s gaze deepened, not in the least surprised.

Following that, he directly circulated his True Qi and infused it into the sculpture.

The next moment, Primordial True Qi permeated into it, slowly and arduously.

However, Gu Yuan noticed that under the refinement of his Primordial True Qi, a rat cultivator’s lingering aura, Essence Blood, and Divine Thought mark within the sculpture were being eliminated.

Once Gu Yuan’s True Qi had entirely refined it, the sculpture changed into a simple faceless human figure.

Even those charred marks on the sculpture’s surface, along with the small hole, disappeared.

"An interesting sculpture..."

Gu Yuan suddenly laughed and then used his fingernail to pierce his palm, allowing some blood to drip onto the sculpture.

In an instant, the blood was absorbed and swallowed by the sculpture as if a sponge soaking up water.

Gu Yuan then found that the sculpture’s appearance had changed, becoming about seventy to eighty percent similar to himself.

Moreover, he sensed a mystical connection between the sculpture and himself, as if it was another Gu Yuan.

"Could it be, other elements are needed?"

Gu Yuan pondered, then proceeded to infuse a Divine Thought Mark into the sculpture.

Thus, the sculpture continued to change and eventually turned into Gu Yuan’s current appearance, though smaller and voiceless, almost indistinguishable from Gu Yuan.

"Hmm? So this is called a Death Substitution Puppet? Just refine it with Essence Blood and Divine Thought, and it can ward off a mortal peril once!"

Simultaneously, Gu Yuan received information from within the sculpture regarding itself.

This wooden sculpture was called a Death Substitution Puppet, a unique exotic treasure refined by a powerful cultivator using rare materials like Ghost Soul Wood and Resentful God Sand.

Once refined, it can be integrated into one’s body and during critical moments, resist a mortal peril once.

However, it cannot be used infinitely, with a maximum of five uses.

Now, this Death Substitution Puppet had been used four times, after one more use, it would be rendered entirely useless.

Nevertheless, seeing this item reminded Gu Yuan of the battle with Lv Kun from the Gu God Sect on the Life and Death Platform, where Lv Kun used a Puppet Life Substitution Insect.

The function of that Puppet Life Substitution Insect was similar to the Life Substitution Puppet, providing protection during critical moments. However, compared to the Puppet Life Substitution Insect, this Death Substitution Puppet could withstand mortal peril five times.

Furthermore, it could transfer such fatal damage, unlike the Puppet Life Substitution Insect, which required time to slowly recover from wounds.

So comparatively, the Life Substitution Puppet was evidently much stronger than the Puppet Life Substitution Insect!

The only regret was that the Life Substitution Puppet could now only be used once.

However, Gu Yuan was in a good mood, acquiring such a Life Substitution Puppet was naturally a good thing as it could genuinely be a lifesaver at critical moments.

Since it was acquired without any cost, he certainly wouldn’t disdain it.

With a thought, the Life Substitution Puppet vanished instantly and unexpectedly appeared within his Dantian.

...

Before long, Gu Yuan arrived at the Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion and descended from the Escape Light, stepping into this Immortal City.

Compared to three months ago, this Immortal City seemed unchanged, with bustling streets full of people as usual.

After entering the city, Gu Yuan headed straight for Jade Cauldron Tower.

The reason for heading to Jade Cauldron Tower was, of course, to pay respects to his master, He Ling True Master.

He Ling True Master had been kind to Gu Yuan, so naturally, Gu Yuan had to fulfill his responsibilities as a disciple.

It didn’t take long before Gu Yuan arrived at Jade Cauldron Tower, and once he walked into the main hall, he instantly drew some people’s attention.

Seeing Gu Yuan, some showed surprise, and a few exclaimed, "It’s Gu Yuan... Senior Brother Gu!"

"He actually came?"

Some proactively stepped forward to greet Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan responded to each one without change in expression, remaining neither arrogant nor impatient.

Then he headed straight to the third floor.

Before long, a familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Yuan.

"Junior Brother Gu, long time no see, how have you been recently?"

Gu Yuan’s eyes focused as he looked at the stout, rugged young man ahead, suddenly smiling:

"So it’s Senior Brother Sha, thanks to you, I’ve been doing quite well lately."

The person was Sha Luosheng, Gu Yuan’s fellow disciple in the same sect branch and an Inner Sect Disciple.

Sha Luosheng’s gaze swept over Gu Yuan, suddenly concentrating and his face changed abruptly: "Wait... Junior Brother Gu, your cultivation..."

He was astonished to find that Gu Yuan’s cultivation had actually broken through to the Great Perfection Realm of the Celestial Human Realm!

This left Sha Luosheng rather amazed.

For as far as he knew, half a year ago, Gu Yuan’s cultivation was only at Small Success of the Celestial Human Realm.

Yet within just half a year, Gu Yuan had consecutively broken through two minor realms, now just a step away from the Golden Core, which left him quite shocked!
