Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 360 - 359: Nourishing the Body
"What are you saying? Your father knows what you’ve been up to. It’s more important than your matters. Now that you can come back and visit, that’s enough."
Hearing Gu Yuan’s words, his father replied and ushered him into the house.
Once inside, his parents held Gu Yuan’s hands and asked question after question, inquiring about how he’s been and how long he plans to stay this time.
His mother kept holding onto Gu Yuan’s hand, saying he looked thinner, surely because he hadn’t been eating well, which made Gu Yuan amused and exasperated.
At his current realm, although not yet at the stage of sustaining life by absorbing qi, he could certainly survive on just absorbing qi without needing to eat to maintain daily activities.
Even without eating for a decade, he could still be lively just by absorbing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.
So his mother’s comment about eating too little, making him look thinner, was entirely her misconception.
But parents being parents, Gu Yuan didn’t mind.
The three of them sat together and talked for a long time. Gu Yuan took the opportunity to suggest bringing his parents to Medicine King Mountain, so he could better care for them.
His parents exchanged a glance, thought for a while, and eventually nodded in agreement.
Seeing his parents agree, Gu Yuan nodded. This trip home had nearly fulfilled its purpose. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
The environment of Medicine King Mountain is excellent, with a massive Spirit Vein at its base, along with countless large, medium, and small Spirit Veins, making it a rare Blessed Land in the world!
The place is not only rich in Spiritual Qi but also beautiful, with mystical flowers and herbs everywhere, making Beiliang County seem like a backwater in comparison, almost like the Immortal Realm.
As for ordinary mortals like his parents, entering the gates of Medicine King Mountain for a long time, while it won’t make them youthful again, at the very least, they won’t fall ill, they’ll strengthen their physique, and extend their lifespan.
Actually, forget about his parents, even legitimate Celestial Human Realm Cultivators would greatly benefit from a place like Medicine King Mountain.
They would even gain more than ordinary mortals.
Because ordinary mortals can only passively be influenced by the Spiritual Qi and environment, the benefits they obtain are not too substantial.
Cultivators, however, can make full use of such a treasure land to boost their cultivation and break through bottlenecks.
The Spiritual Qi within the gates of Medicine King Mountain is more than ten times denser than outside.
As for some special Spiritual Qi focal points, there’s no need to mention them. Even Golden Core Great Cultivators, Yin Spirit Giants, and Yang Spirit Great Beings would gain substantial benefits!
Moreover, as Gu Yuan knows, in Medicine King Mountain, there are a few special places that allow cultivators to gain insights into the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth more easily, which have always been occupied by the Ancestors within the gates.
The preciousness of such places would even make Yin Spirit Giants and Yang Spirit Great Beings tempted.
For ordinary cultivators, the benefits are naturally even greater!
Furthermore, Gu Yuan also knows.
At Medicine King Mountain, of course, it’s not just cultivators, but more are ordinary people, or Martial Masters, Innate Martial Masters, and the like.
Most of these are family members and descendants of disciples of Medicine King Mountain throughout the ages.
Over time, they have become families of various sizes.
Cultivation is difficult, and not everyone has the chance, the aptitude, or the enlightenment to become a Celestial Human Realm Cultivator.
The vast majority of ordinary people, even if they come into contact with the path of cultivation, will still stop before the Celestial Realm. Entering the Celestial Realm to transcend the ordinary is not easy.
Unless one possesses some rare aptitude or exceptional enlightenment to receive good training and gain the attention and resources of Medicine King Mountain.
Gu Yuan plans to take his parents to Medicine King Mountain because there are many ordinary people there, and not only does he bring ordinary people, but other disciples do the same.
This way, it won’t draw attention, and it’ll be easier to take care of his parents in the future.
...
In the following days, Gu Yuan stayed home and studied the "Essentials of the Golden Core" taught by Situ Yan.
While comprehending it, Gu Yuan used some ordinary Spirit Medicine to concoct a few bottles of Spiritual Liquid and Spirit Pills for his parents to consume.
The reason he didn’t use any precious Spirit Medicine is that they can’t handle it.
For ordinary people like his elderly parents, even ginseng can cause nosebleeds when taken hastily, let alone those upper grade and top grade Spirit Medicine?
Supplementation requires strategy.
Gu Yuan used some mild and common Spirit Medicine to concoct medicinal liquid and Spirit Pills that are extremely gentle, not harming the body, but subtly strengthening the physique, nourishing muscles and bones, enhancing the five viscera and six bowels.
In just three days, the white hair on his parents’ heads started turning black, and their rough, wrinkled skin began to tighten, smoothen, and become elastic.
At a glance, they looked twenty years younger.
And they purged many impurities, and all their minor ailments vanished.
Now, the two elders were sprightly and energetic, an impressive transformation from before.
All this, in just three days.
Of course, if Gu Yuan had more time, he was confident he could further improve his parents’ physical status, but that would take more time.
Gu Yuan’s time was limited, so there was no need for that.
On the fourth day of returning to Beiliang County, Gu Yuan decided to go out and, riding the Escape Light, arrived at Beiliang City.
He walked around several streets, reminiscing about the events of the past year, and found himself at the Jade Cauldron Tower.
Compared to the Jade Cauldron Tower in the Jade Bright Immortal Pavilion, the one here in Beiliang County appeared quite simple. Gu Yuan glanced around and did not deliberately conceal himself.
"May I ask who you are, visiting our Jade Cauldron Tower..."
An old man emerged from the Jade Cauldron Tower, his hair and beard entirely white, his face ruddy, and a faint medicinal aroma emitting from him. His spotless white robe gave him an air of being slightly otherworldly.
However, when the old man saw Gu Yuan’s face, he couldn’t finish his sentence, his face showing surprise as he exclaimed, "Is that you, Gu Yuan?!"
Gu Yuan turned his head, smiling slightly: "So it’s you, Old Mo, it’s been a while... How have you been lately?"
This old man was Xia Mingyang’s friend, Old Mo.
He was also an acquaintance of Gu Yuan from the past.
As for Xia Mingyang, he was not at the Jade Cauldron Tower now, nor in Beiliang County, obviously having returned to Medicine King Mountain.
"Your cultivation now..."
Old Mo was initially surprised, but he soon noticed Gu Yuan’s cultivation, as he couldn’t discern it at all.
In his perception, Gu Yuan felt empty, ethereal, without any presence, as if there were no person, yet Gu Yuan was clearly right there. This realization made his hair stand on end, utterly shocked.
He knew very well what this situation implied.
Clearly, Gu Yuan’s cultivation had already far surpassed his own!
