Chapter 99: Man, not God

Bumped…

Huge waves fell on the ancient sea, up and down.

The sea is bright red. This was not the green copper sea of rank one, but the red steel sea.

The aperture was covered with layers of light layers; this was the appearance of an early stage Rank two.

The entire sea of primordial essence red steel occupied 44% of the aperture. Above the sea, the Autumn Spring Crickets appeared.

After going through a year of healing, it had already somewhat recovered.

Before, there was no gleam from his body, looking rough and dim like withered wood. Now, it has some gloss to it.

Both of its wings were like yellowing and withered autumn leaves and the tips had been broken. Now, there was a hint of green in there and there was a black leaf line at the tip, making a complete arch without any previous blemishes.

“Cricket Autumn Spring, spring and autumn season. I understand now, it needs to experience the changes of spring and autumn to recover. Since rebirth, one year has passed, which means the turn of spring and autumn, and therefore has recovered.”

Fang Yuan looked at the Spring Autumn Cricket and this thought appeared within him, increasing his understanding of the Spring Autumn Cricket at another stage.

A Master Gu needs to repair, maintain, and use Gu. Among them 'usage' is further classified and contains a great many variations. Fang Yuan had been in contact with the Spring Autumn Cricket the entire time; his understanding of the Spring Autumn Cricket was slowly accumulating and deepening.

“But the Autumn Spring Cricket is still weak, it only moves a few steps from near death. I can only use his aura to suppress the Gu worm and increase the efficiency of a single purification. As for the fuse, it won't help anything. ”

There was a mystical Gu worm that increased the success rate of fusion. All of them had their own specialties; the Autumn Spring Crickets had the ability of rebirth.

In addition to the Spring Autumn Crickets, there are plump Liquor worms curled up in a round ball, floating and playing around in the sea.

Gu White Boar was like a small beetle and Gu Jade Skin that had a green jade color was revolving around each other.

Fang Yuan opened his eyes and slowly opened his right palm. Inside were traces of a crescent moon and two five-sided stars.

They were precisely the residence of Moonlight Gu and the two Little Light Gu.

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his line of sight falling on the bedsheet.

There are three pockets of money in the bed sheet; two stand out and one mostly thin. In addition, there is also ivory as white as snow from the king of the boar. It looked like an elephant ivory, lying near Fang Yuan's feet on the bed sheet.

The group of sick snakes had used all their strength to kill the king of the boars, but they were met with a lightning wolf pack attack and most of the hides and flesh of the king of the boars had been eaten by the lightning wolf. Thus, two snow-white tusks were the most precious spoils of war.

According to clan rules and regulations, Fang Yuan – became one of the members in killing the boar king – received one of the boar king's tusks.

Fang Yuan looked at these items, his expression heavy. “I don't have many ancient stones left and that's just enough for one fusion. After this merger, no matter how successful or failed, my financial condition will go down. But if I don't combine them now, my ancient stones will only last for twelve days or so and I will even miss the chance to fuse.

Fang Yuan raised seven of Gu's worms so he had a huge financial burden. And because of his C grade talent, he had to repeatedly use the Liquor worm to increase his cultivation quickly. Thus, his consumption of ancient stones was more than that of an ordinary Master Gu.

Recently, he no longer used the ancient stone to recover the primordial essence in his hole. The sea of red steel on his body was now all recovered with a natural rate of self-recovery.

Fang Yuan had already started cutting off the consumption of the ancient stone; he could not abuse it after calculating its expenditure.

The current situation was like he was about to fall off a cliff. He could only hold on to the wild grass on the side of the cliff to stabilize his body without falling over.

But as time passes, this lifeline will continue to run out. If he didn't take the risk, it wouldn't take long for him to fall off the cliff.

What he had to do now was to use this lifeline and climb the cliff with all his strength.

If he succeeded, he could take the opportunity to obtain the family legacy and rise to another level and it would be a completely new sight in front of him.

If he were to lose, he would fall and try to rise to this stage again, he would need to spend a lot of time and energy.

"Whatever happens, let's start." Fang Yuan took a deep breath and focused his gaze.

Gu White Pig, Gu Jade Skin!

The two Gu worms followed his will, drilling out of his hole and hovering in front of Fang Yuan.

"Fuse!" Fang Yuan shouted inwardly. White Boar Gu and Jade Skin Gu suddenly emitted a dazzling light and directly collided.

It's a silent lump, but it creates a ball of light.

The white light was more dazzling than before.

Fang Yuan used his consciousness to defend the white ball of white light to take out an ancient stone from the bag and throw it into the ball of light.

The ancient stones were swallowed up by the ball of light and only the stone powder remained, strewn across the bed. Every time the ball of light swallowed the ancient stone, the edges would widen slightly.

The ball of light absorbed the natural primordial essence and became bigger and bigger.

Gradually, it changed from the size of the sink to the size of a grindstone.

"Almost there." Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes; he firmly threw the snow-white ivory of the boar king into the ball of light.

If anyone witnessed this scene, they would be dumbfounded. The secret recipe combining the White Pig Gu and Jade Skin Gu to form the White Jade Gu has been known and circulated for over a thousand years, and, but no one had ever heard of adding snowy tusks to the king of boars.

However, not being used in the past does not mean it will not be used in the future.

One hundred and fifty years from now, a Master Gu would improvise this recipe; he discovered that adding boar tusks would greatly increase the success rate of fusion.

Fang Yuan had five hundred years of experience, he naturally knew this trick.

Snowy tusks were thrown into a ball of light and a fantastic transformation occurred immediately.

The previously dazzling light turned softer. The light that was blindly darting everywhere now had a pattern of movement, naturally changing between light and dark.

Under Fang Yuan's gaze, the ball of light slowly shrank and finally disappeared into the air.

Instead of Gu Jade Skin and Gu White Pig, there was now an entirely new Gu worm calmly floating in front of Fang Yuan.

It was like an oval pebble, its entire body was completely white; this white was not as pale as Xuan paper and was not milky white as milk, but a sort of damp white like a jade luster.

This is — Rank two Gu White Jade!

Only now did Fang Yuan let out a mouthful of turbid air, his heart relieved.

You may think that this process looks simple. That's not.

First, the unification of consciousness requires multitasking.

Drawing a circle with one hand and a square with the other hand is called double duty. Many people cannot even do this, let alone multi-tasking which is very difficult.

One could only achieve multi-tasks after many years of cultivating hard, suffering through countless defeats and setbacks, and even then one still needed some talent.

Fang Yuan was able to do this very proficiently due to his profound experience of five hundred years; not the slightest bit of his experience was fake or fake.

Second, is the understanding and knowledge of the Gu worm.

The deeper Master Gu's understanding of the Gu worm, the higher the smelting success rate.

This point, in about three hundred years from now, will become widely recognized knowledge.

So, the longer you use the Gu worm, the more likely it is to succeed in Gu fusion.

Third, is the true and original recipe.

For example, this time, adding snowy tusks like finishing touches, increased the success rate by 20%. Its efficiency is incredible.

Some recipes are widespread in this world, but there are many recipes that people collect and do not circulate.

As in Gu Yue village, Moonlight Gu's refining recipe was held by a small number of elders and successive generations of clan leaders.

Especially recipes that rank five and above. They will be hidden and valued like their lives. Many Master Gu would not spread this recipe to death.

But even with these three points, there is no absolute guarantee of success. Even a person like Fang Yuan who had five hundred years of memory, many experiences, a deep understanding of the Gu worm, could perform many tasks and knew many recipes, had the possibility of failing while combining the Gu worm.

One can only say that the failure rate is lower.

Incorporating the Gu worm is the evolution of life, a kind of creation. It compresses time to extremes, making the long evolutionary process bear fruit in an instant.

On earth, only gods can do this.

This is undoubtedly a miracle of life. Master Gu made a divine intervention with the mortal body, how could it succeed at any moment?

If it succeeds every time, it is not a human, but a god.
