Chapter 98: Difficulty perfecting Gu

"What's? That child, he is a second rank Master Gu now, and even applied for the mission of separating assets from the internal affairs hall! ” The angry and surprised voice of Uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu resounded throughout the main hall.

“Inchant so. Although I received your ancient stone, I couldn't do much to stop it, I only managed to tell him to gather the mission in three days. I can only buy time as long as it's for you, that's my limit. ” Middle-aged Master Gu beside him said.

Gu Yue Dong Tu snorted in his heart, he could feel the hidden meaning of Gu Master's words in the internal affairs hall.

'Stopping for three days, that is the limit', such words are just an excuse to squeeze more money.

“But, the main priority now is to keep doing all I can to maintain the assets. This bastard is really too annoying!” Gu Yue Dong Tu's sweat poured out from his forehead as Fang Yuan's growth was so fast that it made him feel like a heart attack.

"I came here mainly to tell you this, so I'm leaving now." The middle-aged man stood up to leave.

“Don't be in a hurry, brother. There are a few things I still need for you to help me a little. ” Gu Yue Dong Tu hurriedly stood up, took the money pouch and put it into the hands of middle-aged Master Gu.

The male Master Gu took the entire ancient stone pouch and put it into his chest pocket, his tone quickly changing, laughing out loud. “Sister Dong Tu, you're too polite. We have a great relationship, we've known each other for over ten years. Don't worry, I will prepare for the toughest mission for Fang Yuan, but he might hire another Master Gu to help him. You should be aware of this.”

“Hehehe, you can rest assured. Even though I have retired, I still have my relationship, I have sent people to observe it. If that kid hires an outsider, it's against the rules of the clan, and I'm still waiting to find out his weakness. Hehe…"

"Then I feel comfortable, goodbye."

"Let me send you out."

"It's okay, please stay."

Gu Yue Dong Tu looked at the departing Gu Master, his smile slowly fading away.

“Fang Yuan this, he is only C class, how could he rise to rank two so quickly?! Damn, what did Jiao San and the others do! Can't even keep from a beginner.”

“Huh, now Jiao San and team are all killed by hordes of beasts, what an incompetent fool. Fang Yuan also rose to rank two, this way he could definitely accept the mission of the family asset. My previous method of blocking it would no longer work. But he is now working alone, and aiming to complete the asset inheritance mission alone is very difficult.”

"No! The luck of this child is absurd, first I get Jiao San and the others to suppress it, and soon the horde of beasts comes. If he relied on this luck again and completed the mission, then what? I have to prepare for the worst!”

A cunning old fox, Gu Yue Dong Tu who could enter and leave the battle life peacefully and live until now, it already represented success.

Compared to the newly independent Fang Yuan, his interpersonal relationships were much stronger.

“Gathering honey wine?” When Fang Yuan received the asset mission, his eyes shone with a cold glimmer.

The mission was to collect five Liang (1) honey bees. The golden bees were all fist-sized with golden and black stripes, and they had sharp stings packed with powerful attacks.

That's not all. Among the normal small hives, there is only honey. Only large or medium-sized hives have precious honey grapes made from a large accumulation of honey.

“This mission, even for a group of five people, is very difficult. Since the number of people no longer mattered, Master Gu who collected honey wine had to have a defensive-type Gu to withstand its sting. It seems that uncle's relationship has attacked and bullied my lack of defensive Gu worms. Shit for him ... "Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart.

At this point, it showed the inherent benefits of the Monk's legacy of Wine Flowers.

It is easy to do things clandestinely, difficult to do things openly.

The more that work openly, the more their trump cards are revealed, and they become easier to trap. Instead, working discreetly helps to hide the trump card and leaves others unable to assess your situation, so it cannot resolve the problem in the first place.

“But, if I want to collect honey wine, Gu Jade Skin is not enough. Jade Skin Gu is only Gu Rank one, but if it can rise to rank two Gu White Jade, I will be able to do it easily.”

Without the need to try to take risks, her rich life experience allowed her to take less useful steps.

Speaking of which, Fang Yuan was already an early stage Master Gu of Rank two, but the Gu worm to him, other than the Autumn Spring Cricket, were all rank one Gu worms.

This situation was like an adult man capable of using a spear holding only a small dagger. The dagger was unable to fully display the man's strength, and only with the most suitable spear.

Fang Yuan had seven Gu worms in his possession.

Gu the vital Spring Autumn Cicada, Moonlight Gu, Liquor worm, White Boar Gu, Jade Skin Gu and the two Little Light Gu.

In this mix, Moonlight Gu could merge with the two Little Light Gu to form Moonglow Gu. Gu White Boar and Gu Jade Skin can fuse into a White Jade Gu.

Moonglow Gu represented a surge in attack power, while White Jade Gu was an increase in defense.

If Fang Yuan had enough primordial stones, he would choose to refine the two. But not too long ago, in order to push his cultivation to rank two, he spent most of his ancient stones. Now, with the ancient stone in hand, it was just enough for one-time use.

“No doubt, choosing to fix White Jade Gu is a better choice. With the White Jade Gu, I can take honey wine. And with White Jade Gu, I can advance even better in the legacy of the Flower Wine Monk. But if this fusion failed, the result would be terrifying. My finances were on the verge of collapse, so without White Jade Gu, I could not get my parents' assets. Stuck at this point, it would have greatly slowed my growth. ”

He knew that he was at a crossroads, and if this fusion worked out, the future was bright. If he failed, then he would fall into the abyss. To get back to his current point, he would need more effort in management and spend longer.

……

“Gu Masters used their ancient sea as a base, and the Gu worm as his method. Gu is the need of Master Gu, without Gu they are not Master Gu. In addition to their own cultivation, Master Gu also had to refine, maintain, and use Gu. ”

Inside the room, Gu clan leader Yue Bo meticulously explained to Fang Zheng.

“Perform, maintain, and use. These three aspects, any one of which is also a huge treasure trove of knowledge. Even if you spend your whole life, you can't fully complete it. On the refining aspect of Gu, you already know how to refine Gu and make it yours. But this is only a single refinement. There is also a more important aspect of fusion.

“Through fusion, you can combine several Gu worms into one with higher ratings. This is the evolution of life. Fang Zheng, you are already a rank two Master Gu, but your worm Gu is all rank one. It's time you fixed the rank two Gu worm. ”

Fang Zheng asked, "Clan leader, how do I do fusion?"

Gu Yue Bo said, “To melt, you must know the recipe. Some Gu worms cannot be combined together. Through many trials and errors, and endless failures, our ancestors have discovered several recipes. Our Gu Yue Clan has the most in-depth research with Moonlight Gu, and we now have two rank five recipes on hand. ”

"What is a fifth-grade recipe?"

“As per this recipe, through some fusion, one can finally refine up to the rank five worm Gu. Fang Zheng, you have one Jade Skin Gu and Moon Light Gu, it qualifies for one of the Rank five recipes. If you follow this recipe, you will finally get a rating of five Gu — Moonlight Treasure King Gu!”

"King of the Moonlight Treasure Gu?" Fang Zheng's face was filled with desire.

“Hehehe, telling you about Gu rank five is now too early. Come on, take out Jade Skin and Moonlight Gumu, I will teach you how to combine these two Gu's into Raiment Moon Rank two!”

Saying so, Gu Yue Bo's expression turned serious, “The most important thing about combining Gu is parallel thinking, combining your consciousness. The Moonlight Gu and Jade Skin Gu in your hands now have no wild consciousness anymore, overwritten by your own consciousness. What you have to do now is combine these two thoughts together.”

"Fuse together?" Fang Zheng blinked, puzzled.

Gu Yue Bo smiled, “Don't worry, practice more, you will be able to grasp this feeling. Let's start."

“Mm.” Fang Zheng nodded, and under Gu Yue Bo's guidance, his pink-colored red steel primeval essence rose like smoke, enveloping Gu Jade Skin and Gu Moonlight in the air.

Fang Zheng closed his eyes, sensing and manipulating the consciousness of the two Gu worms.

Gu Yue Bo was outside watching, and saw Gu Jade Skin and Gu Moon Light circling like two planets.

As consciousness fused, the distance between the two Gu worms shortened.

After three hours of continuous trying, their consciousness was finally controlled by Fang Zheng, and fused perfectly.

Instantly, Gu Jade Skin and Gu Moonlight both erupted in a bright white light.

The two lights were connected together, forming a lump the size of a face.

“Preserve this condition, and throw the ancient stone into the light.” Gu Yue Bo advised.

Fang Zheng took out an ancient stone and threw it into the light.

Surprisingly, after throwing the primordial stone, the stone turned into a wave of pure natural essence, completely fusing with the wisp of light. Only the stone powder was left, strewn across the bed.

"Keep throwing until Gu Rank two is done." Gu Yue Bo said.

Fang Zheng was about to throw the second piece, but at this point, the light disappeared, and the two Gus flew in two opposite directions as if they were being ruthlessly pushed against each other.

Fusion failed.

“Sial, I forgot to maintain the fusion of consciousness earlier.” Fang Zheng immediately realized his mistake.

“Do not worry, failing at the beginning is normal.” Gu Yue Bo comforted, but reminded, "But be careful, you must not fail too much, otherwise both Moonlight and Jade Skin Gu will perish."

Fang Zheng recalled Jade Skin Gu and Moonlight Gu, and found cracks on the surface of Moonlight Gu, while Jade Skin Gu looked weakened.

His heart sank, feeling the difficulty of repairing Gu.

(1) Liang – one Liang is 31.25 grams.

(2) So to clarify just in case: – puree Gu, – fusion/smelting Gu. Fusion is part of the Gu purification process.
