Chapter 156

“LORDFang Yuan, this road leads to the secret room, please enter. “In the terrifying dark tunnel, a second rank old Master Gu walked in front, leading the way towards Fang Yuan.

The secret room that housed all of the Gu worm combination recipes from the clan, was not far ahead.

Fang Yuan rose to rank three, thus his status changed by 180 degrees. All the fusion recipes were stored in the – clan as long as it was not a rank four or five recipe, he had the authority to examine them.

If it was a Rank one or two Gu Master, to look through his recipe, they would have to pay for the ancient stone or exchange using merit points.

This secret room was in the basement of the village, in a very hidden location. Even if the village was destroyed, this secret room would still exist.

Back then, the creator of the Gu Yue clan, the leader of the first generation clan, discovered the source of the primordial essence within this underground cave, thus deciding to build his village here.

Through generations of development and growth by the clan leaders, the underground cavern of the Gu Yue clan had become the secret base of the Gu Yue clan.

Normally, ordinary Master Gu did not have the right to appear at this location. Only the clan elders, clan leaders, and Master Gu of the Dark Hall were in charge of protecting a place that possessed such authority.

Many Master Gu had only been there once in their lives.

It happened during the resurrection ceremony, where young children would come to the sea of ancient springs, hoping to awaken their fissures.

Moreover, unless there was a special reason, getting into this underground cave was forbidden for everyone. Even the Gu Master guarding the place was chosen after careful consideration.

After all, the primordial spring in this underground cave was the entire foundation of Gu Yue village. From the center of the spring, a large amount of ancient stones were produced, and it sustained the cultivation of Master Gu of the entire clan.

In the tunnel, two pairs of footsteps could be heard.

Away, the sound of flowing river water is heard – it is an underground river inside the cave.

A moment later, Master Gu who was leading the way brought Fang Yuan to the stone door.

He patted his stomach, and Gu worms flew out of his crevice. As the sparks flew, it knocked on the stone door.

The surface of the stone door rippled, like a stone thrown into the water. Immediately after, the stone wall flickered and slowly disappeared, revealing a secret space behind.

Secret room size is rather small, only 666 ⅔ m². Every few steps, there would be a stone table as tall as half a tall person. Dozens of stone tables had white jade plates on them, and on top of those plates was the Gu worm that was quietly resting.

These Gu worms had a wide variety of colors, the size of a fist; they had a very similar appearance, like silkworms. On his head were two compound eyes like a bee or a dragonfly, colorful and looking like shiny glass. However its surface was not soft, but it was covered in a layer of insect shells, and its shell even had a golden luster.

“LORDFang Yuan, this is your first time to the secret room, so let me explain. This was Rank two Digital Shade Gu, all of them had recipes recorded in them. In the green Digital Shade Gu worm, almost all of the rank one recipes can be found in it. As for the blackish-red Gu, there was a second rank recipe. White contains the recipe of Rank three, and orange has the recipe of Rank four. As for rank five, it was contained within the middle purple Digital Shade Gu worm. “

Beside him, old Master Gu introduced appropriately.

Digital Shade Gu is a type of Gu worm recording. Just a step further in progress, and it will be Gu Audio Photo Rank three.

Once Gu Audio-Photos are refined, it can not only save recordings, but can also record sound. In the secret cave of the rock cracks, the Flower Wine Monk used the Audio-Photo Gu to inform Fang Yuan of the details of the heritage.

But to record the recipe, sound was not required, so Digital Shade Gu was enough.

Fusion recipes, these are very valuable. Using ordinary bamboo paper to record them, if they were stolen, not only would they be able to repair the Gu worm special to the Gu Yue clan, it was also a huge leak of clan information.

Knowing the enemy will result in easier combat, and an experienced Master Gu can learn the strengths and weaknesses of the Gu worm from the refinement recipe.

Once leaked, the losses would be extremely severe for a clan. In the future when they fought, Master Gu of that clan might also be harmed in the Gu worm.

Thus, recipes are strictly controlled, and classified by rank, stored appropriately.

Digital Shade Gu is easier to refine and low-cost, therefore it is a common method to include recipes.

“LORDFang Yuan, this Digital Shade Gu all belonged to the elders of the Secret Hall clan. But that will not prevent you from using the primordial essence and exploring it. It's just that with your current identity, you can't browse through the Ranking Four and Five recipes. There are also two more things – secret room is the red zone of the clan, each of your actions here are observed completely in secret. Every day, you can only stay here for fifteen minutes. After the time is up, you should leave, “continue Gu Master.

“Mm, I understand.” Fang Yuan nodded.

“LORDFang Yuan, this subordinate has no authority to enter, so I will wait at the door. After the time is up, I will take you out, “the old man bowed.

Fang Yuan walked into the secret room. As soon as he entered, the stone door turned from virtual to solid, trapping him inside the room alone.

Walking in the secret room, it felt peaceful. Echoes of his steps could be heard bouncing off the wall as the surrounding wall had Water Light Gu inside.

Their bodies emitted light, vibrating like water, exchanging between light and shadow, with layer after layer shining indefinitely.

Fang Yuan took out the red-black Gu worm and injected his silver-white primordial essence into it. Immediately two beams of light shot out from the compound eyes of Digital Shade Gu.

Two beams of light struck the white jade plate, and after some fluctuations, words began to appear.

This is a recipe on how to perfect Moonscar Gu.

First, it listed Moonscar Gu's strength, which was an increase in attack distance, twice that of Moonlight Gu. The downside is substandard attacks.

Next is the – Moonscar Gu refinement recipe processed from the merger of Moonlight Gu and Scar Rock Gu.

Next is the important point to perfect this Gu, the point is – if during purification, some jade is added, or done at night when there is abundant moonlight and exposed to it, the, there will be a higher chance of success.

Lastly, this was the experience of Master Gu who had tried to fuse this Gu. It has the largest content, almost up to ten thousand words.

Fang Yuan looked and memorized a few things into his heart.

It was after all the trials and trials of countless people, and experienced ones were gathered from various efforts. Some information, even Fang Yuan did not know.

After all, Moonlight Gu was a unique Gu to the Gu Yue clan. In his previous life, he had never been a clan elder or had come here to look through the recipes.

Time was limited, so Fang Yuan quickly looked over and placed Digital Shade Gu back into place, then took the white-colored Gu to observe.

In Digital Shade Gu, there was a rank three fusion recipe.

Most of the recipes did not match Fang Yuan, as they required Gu worms like Moonwhirl or Moonscar Gu as the base.

Fang Yuan did not take a close look; to save time, he skimmed.

He first used Moonlight Gu to merge with Little Light Gu to form Moonglow Gu. On that basis, there are only three processed recipes worth using.

First was a Golden Moon rank three, with ten steps of the same firing range, but the attack power increased once again. After being shot out, the golden-colored crescent moon was almost as tall as half a human, and had a powerful and imposing aura.

The second was Frost Moon Gu. The moonblade became eerie white and ice, having an ice element in it. Anyone who is hurt will be invaded by the cold, moving slowly.

The third was Illusionary Moon Gu. This more unique Gu – is not used for attacking, but once activated, Gu Master can create shadow clones to attract attacks and confuse enemies.

Especially when this Illusionary Moon Gu, after being purified, could be used as the basis for Rank four Moonshadow Gu.

“Moonshadow Gu can be implanted into the hole of Gu Master and suppress them from the use of ancient essence.” In the information about the Illusionary Moon Gu, there was only some vaguely described information about Moonshadow Gu, as a reference.

“Moonshadow Gu .. wasn't that the Gu worm used by the fourth generation clan leader to sneak attack the Flower Wine Monk?” Fang Yuan saw this, frowning deeply.

In this world, there were countless Gu worms, and even with five hundred years of experience, he only knew less than 0.001% of all Gu worms in this world.

He originally had a rough idea of Moonshadow Gu, but now that he knew the effect of the Gu worm, suspicion arose in his heart.

Moonshadow Gu has unique uses. It was able to suppress 30% of the primordial essence within the openings of Rank four Gu Master, 15% of Rank five, and 60% of Rank three Gu Master. That meant, with a C-class talent like Fang Yuan, having only 40 ~ 50%, if they were exposed to this Moonshadow Gu, they would not be able to exert an ounce of primordial essence, either, losing all their battle power and being as good as a cripple.

Of course, if it was Fang Yuan, if Moonshadow Gu was used on him, it would mean ‘throwing the meatballs towards hound’ – what was lost would never be able to return.

It was because once Moonshadow Gu entered his aperture, the Spring Autumn Cicada would show its dominance, and under its aura, Moonshadow Gu would be instantly refined by it, and become his.

What puzzled Fang Yuan, was not the Moonshadow Gu effect, but the Flower Wine Monk.

“I remember on the shadow wall, the Flower Wine Monk bathed in blood, full of wounds. First, his battle with the fourth generation clan leader and elder only gave him a light wound. I thought the severe injuries were caused by Moonshadow's Gu, but to think that this Moonshadow Gu was only used to suppress the primitive essence, crippling Master Gu. Then where did the Flower Wine Monk get his severe injuries from? “

Fang Yuan's mind was meticulous, so it became even more suspicious. Back then, when the Flower Wine Monk lost to the clan elder and fled, what exactly happened?

Moonshadow Gu was not the cause of his death. So, what's that?

Instantly, the originally clear legacy of the Flower Wine Monk, became a mystery to Fang Yuan again.

“LORDFang Yuan, it has been fifteen minutes, I'm sure you have gained some advantages. Whatever happens, please come back tomorrow. “At this point, the door turned into an astral state again, as old Master Gu stood outside and said respectfully.

“Oke.” Fang Yuan's gaze shone as he put down Digital Shadow Gu, leaving the secret room.

Regardless of whether it was the Golden Moon, Ice Moon, or Illusory Moon, this refinement recipe was not what he wanted. That was because they all consumed large quantities of moon orchid flower petals.

Moon orchid flower petals are difficult to store, only able to live a few days. In Fang Yuan's plan, he wanted to leave the Gu Yue clan and explore the world. If he were to purify this Gu, without food they would die within half a year. He might not fix it either.

However, there was still a rank three recipe that he did not manage to see.

“I'll come again tomorrow, I guess.” Such thoughts flashed through his mind.
