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

Chapter 69 Black-armored turtle, the talent of turtle breathing!

Gu Yuan untied the sackcloth and released the old turtle.

The old turtle's limbs and head slowly emerged from the shell, and its pair of dark, bright eyes just glanced at him. There was no panic or fear at all, but rather calmness and indifference.

To Gu Yuan, he didn't feel like a turtle, but more like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and was indifferent and easy-going.

People become more clever as they grow older, ghosts become more spiritual as they grow older, and animals become more intelligent as they live longer.

Especially this old turtle, it is not an ordinary species and is obviously more spiritual.

In the past few days, Gu Yuan followed the information provided by Lin Zhou and wandered around the Qingshui River outside the city and the ancient well in the south of the city.

We did find some turtles.

Especially those in the ancient well in the south of the city, they are indeed quite old.

But perhaps it was because he had a spirit pet system and had more contact with the three little ones.

Gu Yuan also has some insights and experience in selecting spiritual pets.

Those old turtles were good, but Gu Yuan always felt that something was missing.

It was not until he saw the old turtle in front of him that his heart skipped a beat and he made the decision immediately.

Not only has this old turtle lived a long life, but its appearance is also mysterious and ancient, and it should have the blood of some kind of spiritual turtle.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you and I won't hurt you."

Gu Yuan didn't care whether the old turtle could understand or not, and said to it seriously: "I bought you because I like to raise spiritual pets. If you don't believe me, just take a look at them and you will know..."

Then, an idea came to his mind.

Squeak!
The iron-toothed rat Ah Huang jumped out from the corner and was planning to climb onto Gu Yuan's shoulders through his clothes, but he was suddenly frightened when he saw the old turtle. He instinctively jumped behind Gu Yuan and hid.

But it soon realized that the old turtle was harmless.

It approached curiously and gently scratched the turtle's shell with its claws. It didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but more like a friendly greeting.

The iron-backed centipede also crawled out from the corner of the wall. When it saw the old turtle, its two tentacles shook a few times, and then it regained its previous cold attitude and hid under a stone in the yard.

Seeing this, the old turtle's eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of surprise. Then he nodded slightly to Gu Yuan, as if he approved of him.

Wow, is he so smart... Gu Yuan was also a little amazed.

Immediately afterwards, a message appeared in front of Gu Yuan:
[You have captured the Black Claw (cyan), do you want to tame it?]

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that before he even did anything, the spirit pet system would prompt that the capture was successful.

Could it be that this old turtle has already recognized him?
And the old turtle's name is a bit strange, it's called Ao instead of Gui...

Ao is a giant turtle in mythology. It is extremely large and has an almost infinite lifespan. It can carry immortal mountains on its back and proudly swim in the ocean.

Gu Yuan had also read in books that there was a fairy island overseas that was carried on the back of a giant turtle.

There is another saying that the dragon has nine sons, and Ao is the eldest of the nine sons. He is a divine turtle with true dragon blood.

No matter which statement is true, it means that Ao is something very important!
The black-armored turtle in front of him was certainly not that kind of divine creature.

But there is an 80% chance that he has a trace of Ling Ao's blood.

Even so, it possesses spirituality and wisdom that ordinary old turtles do not have.

"Sure!"

Gu Yuan agreed immediately.

As soon as he finished speaking, his spiritual power was continuously drawn out, and soon it condensed into a mysterious talisman that was neither real nor imaginary, shining with a strange luster.

With a flash of light, the talisman fell on the head of the black-armored turtle and disappeared.

Gu Yuan immediately felt a connection with the black-armored turtle. He could even sense its calm and gentle emotions, as well as its agile wisdom.

[Taming successful, you have obtained the pet Black Armored Turtle! ]

At this time, the spirit pet system sent a prompt:

【Black Armored Turtle (Blue)】

Description: This spirit turtle, with a trace of divine turtle bloodline, possesses a long lifespan and strong vitality. Its carapace is as hard as black iron, offering exceptional defense. It is also incredibly intelligent and possesses a high level of intelligence. Evolving to a "Black-armored Spirit Turtle" requires maturing to a mature Black-armored Turtle, consuming 1200 Dao Yun Points!
Status: normal
Stage: Growth (91%)
[You have obtained the Black Armored Turtle's talent "Turtle Breath" blessing! ]

After being successfully tamed, the black-armored turtle did not show any special behavior.

But the look he gave Gu Yuan became more gentle and intimate.

This made Gu Yuan feel strange.

It was as if the person before him was not a turtle, but a kind and calm elder...

But to some extent, this is not wrong.

This old Ao is indeed very old and has a gentle temperament. He is an "elder".

"Turtle Breath?"

Immediately, Gu Yuan noticed these two words.

The first words that came to my mind were “a turtle lives a long life, a crane lives a long life” and “a turtle lives a thousand years, a tortoise lives ten thousand years”.

When people talk about turtles, the first thing that comes to mind is their long lifespan.

In Gu Yuan's previous life, there were some sayings that the longevity of turtles had a lot to do with their breathing.

Many people have imitated the turtle's breathing and created some health-preserving methods, such as the turtle breathing exercise, the turtle breathing health-preserving method, and the turtle breathing sleep method.

I just don't know if this turtle breathing talent is a magical way of breathing.

Gu Yuan soon realized that he had gained a new ability, or a new state.

As he consciously chose to enter this state, his heartbeat began to slow down.

Breathing also becomes slow and deep, promoting the flow of qi and blood throughout the body, nourishing the limbs, bones, muscles, skin and flesh in a harmonious and gentle manner.

Even his mental state became calm, indifferent, pure, relaxed, and free of worries. He felt comfortable every part of his body.

Gu Yuan's breath was weak, and his energy and blood were restrained, as if he had turned into a stone, an old turtle, allowing the wind, rain and time to wash away him, and he remained motionless.

It was a long time before Gu Yuan woke up from his previous hibernation state until the sun began to move westward.

In this state, he was barely aware of the passage of time.

At the same time, Gu Yuan also felt that he seemed no different from before, but when he looked closely, there were some differences.

Before, he was brave and diligent, refining his skin, tendons and bones, which made his whole body full of energy and blood, and his eyes were bright and sharp, showing his edge.

It is strong, but also somewhat unbalanced, and easily breaks.

But now, the whole person seems to have been polished, and both his energy and spirit have become much more harmonious.

It seems that the edge has been filed off, but in fact it has become more restrained and deeply hidden.

In addition to nourishing the bones, skin and flesh.

Gu Yuan even noticed that his internal organs and even his spirit had undergone some subtle changes, and had been nourished and strengthened to a certain extent.

Although this change was still very slight, it had already shocked him greatly.
