5"Young lad, please have some tea. This is a high-grade cloud smoke tea, have a taste of it." Lang Ya land spirit sat at the edge of the bed as he brewed a cup of tea for Fang Yuan personally.
6
7Fang Yuan sat at the spot the land spirit was sitting at previously, looking at this 'peculiar' land spirit wordlessly.
8
9In the conversation earlier, Fang Yuan had talked to this land spirit, and understood — this land spirit liked collecting recipes, it will try its best to get its hands on any new recipes it discovers.
10
11If it were any other person, the land spirit would've extorted and threatened him already. But Fang Yuan was a Demon Venerable's inheritor, he did not dare to do so, thus he could only beg nicely.
12
13"Handsome young lad, is the tea not nice? Are you happy? For the sake of this tea, exchange that human skin recipe with me please." Lang Ya land spirit showed a smiling expression as he tried to please Fang Yuan.
14
15Fang Yuan drank his tea silently.
16
17The mysterious, strong, and sagely image of Lang Ya land spirit collapsed rapidly.
18
19"Young lad, do me a favor, pity this old man! I live alone here, I am so lonely, so bored, so thirsty. I can only look at these recipes daily to pass time. Are you so cruel, to reject the request of such a pitiful old man like me?" The land spirit had a grandpa appearance, having white beard, white hair, and white eyebrows, staring at Fang Yuan pitifully.
20
21"Hey, have some self awareness, you are a land spirit, not a human." Fang Yuan's eyes were twitching.
22
23"Young lad, whatever you say, as long as you will give the recipe to me, you can do anything to me!" The 'grandpa' winked at Fang Yuan.
24
25Fang Yuan controlled his urge to kick this creep, as he shouted: "No means no."
26
27"Lang Ya land spirit's body shuddered, as it started crying, rolling on the ground: "No, I want to exchange. I want the recipe, I want the recipe, young lad, you are too cruel, too ruthless, you lack compassion. Why are you not exchanging the recipe with me, will it kill you? Please just exchange it."
28
29"Seriously, rumors cannot compare to meeting in real life…" Fang Yuan's head was full of black lines as the image of Lang Ya land spirit that he had broke into pieces, and was stepped into tiny shards on the ground.
30
31However, this showed Lang Ya land spirit's innocence and sincerity.
32
33The land spirit grandpa rolled on the ground and cried for a long time, but Fang Yuan did not relent.
34
35He had no choice but to stand up, with tears all over his face, even his beard, hair, and eyebrows were wet.
36
37"Young lad, what's wrong with your conscience? You are simply too cruel, as expected of the inheritor of a Demon Venerable…" The grandpa complained as he looked at Fang Yuan, like a wife who had just been cheated on.
38
39Fang Yuan could not stand this gaze, he shuddered as he sighed: "Nevermind, nevermind, I can give you the human skin Gu's recipe. But you have to wait until the time is right."
40
41"Young lad, you are awesome, you are the kindest person ever. So when will the time be right?" Land spirit was extremely overjoyed.
42
43"Hehehe, five hundred years later."
44
45Land spirit grandpa frowned, and immediately slumped: "That's so long away…"
46
47"Hmph, this is the best I am willing to offer, why, you don't want to exchange anymore?"
48
49"Of course I want to exchange. It's just five hundred years, I can wait. Young lad, I will be waiting for you, this is our agreement for a lifetime." The old grandpa said affectionately.
50
51Fang Yuan held his face, sighing deeply: "I have a recipe here, I want to exchange it for connecting heaven Gu."
52
53Once he heard Fang Yuan's request, Lang Ya land spirit's expression changed, he stood up right and raised his head slightly, showing an arrogant expression: "Oh, you want to get connecting heaven Gu…"
54
55He spoke slowly and casually: "To tell you the truth young lad, I have an uncountable number of recipes here. If the recipe you produce is already owned by me, I will not take it."
56
57Fang Yuan laughed confidently: "Old man, your era is long over. Bring me a brush and paper, I will write a portion of it for you."
58
59Just after he wrote half of the content, Fang Yuan stopped.
60
61"Write, write it, what else is there?" Land spirit stood at the side, scratching his ears as his eyes shone. He had already confirmed that this was a new recipe, he had never seen it before.
62
63"This is a rank five recipe, where is your connecting heaven Gu?"
64
65"Here, here." Land spirit waved his hand and a connecting heaven Gu appeared on the table.
66
67Fang Yuan finished writing this recipe and refined the connecting heaven Gu, keeping it in his aperture.
68
69At the side, land spirit looked at this recipe gleefully.
70
71The Gu worm in the recipe was a new Gu discovered by Gu Masters five hundred years later. During the chaotic five region battle, it was an era of innovation, of all sorts of new Gu were developed and created.
72
73Every time such a chaotic era appeared, a rank nine Gu Immortal would be born.
74
75Fang Yuan had his previous life's memories, although he forgot a lot of things, he still had a great number of recipes inside his head.
76
77These recipes, to exaggerate, were ahead of the current times by an era! Of course the land spirit had never heard of them.
78
79"Do you have divine sense Gu?" Fang Yuan kept connecting heaven Gu and asked.
80
81"Yes."
82
83"Exchange?"
84
85"You still have recipes?" Land spirit grandpa was shocked and overjoyed.
86
87Fang Yuan smiled as he took the brush and paper, writing once again.
88
89But this time, halfway through, the land spirit laughed: "Young man, I have the recipe of this Gu worm already."
90
91"Oh?" Fang Yuan stopped writing, his expression was stunned.
92
93He did not think that the land spirit was lying. Land spirits were pure, yes means yes, and no means no.
94
95"If you don't believe me, you can look at this." Lang Ya land spirit grabbed the air, and a cowhide recipe appeared, landing on the table.
96
97Fang Yuan took a look, it was the real deal.
98
99"It seems that the Gu worms in my memories, although they only appeared five hundred years later, might not be new Gu after all."
100
101Thinking so, Fang Yuan laughed, saying to the land spirit: "No worries, if this is no use, I have another recipe."
102
103But this time, Fang Yuan only wrote a third of it before the land spirit clapped: "Although I do not have this recipe, I have something very similar, look at this."
104
105Saying so, he handed Fang Yuan a recipe, it was 90% similar to his.
106
107Fang Yuan immediately understood: "My recipe might have been improved on by a Gu Master using an ancient recipe."
108
109"Young lad, this recipe does not have much value, I will not exchange for it." Land spirit said.
110
111Fang Yuan revised his plans.
112
113When Long Hair Ancestor was alive, he loved to collect and research on recipes. He was known as the number one immortal of the refinement path of all times. He lived for a long period of time, and collected a vast number of recipes, he could be said to have been an extremely successful collector.
114
115As for Fang Yuan's generation of the new age, they had not reached the apex of the time period, at least Great Dream Immortal Venerable had not appeared yet. The Gu worm recipes in Fang Yuan's memories, compared to Lang Ya blessed land's accumulation from many eras, seemed to be extremely insignificant.
116
117"Look at these then." Fang Yuan started scribbling again.
118
119But for these recipes, either Lang Ya blessed land had it or it was a modified ancient recipe, the land spirit had no intentions to get them.
120
121Fang Yuan was helpless.
122
123In his memories, there were some Gu worms that were definitely new, but they had a great importance in the future, each represented a great benefit to him, and could easily change the situation of the regions. Once they get exposed by Lang Ya blessed land, his losses were small issues, but it might potentially alter history, the disadvantages were too great for Fang Yuan compared to the gains.
124
125"Land spirit, look at this recipe." Fang Yuan thought, and wrote the stargate Gu's recipe.
126
127Land spirit took a look and was interested. The more Fang Yuan wrote, the more its interest grew.
128
129"I've never seen these recipes before, they are rather peculiar, very peculiar." The old grandpa muttered as he rubbed his chin.
130
131This was a rank five Gu recipe, Fang Yuan successfully obtained the divine sense Gu from it.
132
133"Young lad, this stargate Gu is interesting, it has the effect to cross the five regions. The five regions have their respective barriers at the boundaries, but this can actually make use the power of black heaven. This type of Gu worm, usually only hole earth Gu and connecting heaven Gu are popular classics. But this stargate Gu can compete with the two of them, and is not inferior in any way! Did you create this Gu's recipe?" Land spirit asked.
134
135"Of course!" Fang Yuan admitted it without hesitation.
136
137He had zero guilt in impersonating and taking this glory for himself.
138
139Next, he started to brag shamelessly: "The few recipes earlier were also devised by me, although I also used some current recipes as the base for my research."
140
141This act undoubtedly deepened his relationship with Lang Ya land spirit.
142
143"Little friend, you have talent for refinement path, I am truly amazed!" Land spirit grandpa stopped calling Fang Yuan young lad, but started calling him little friend.
144
145"But this stargate Gu has its weaknesses. You need to gather starlight at night to activate it. Other than that, this Gu's refinement success rate is low, but if we add a few supplementary materials into it, we can raise the success rate by 30%."
146
147Next, the land spirit listed a few materials.
148
149Fang Yuan frowned as he listened, he had never heard of these materials.
150
151It seems that they were either materials from the immemorial era, or just simply too rare and unique, with little use normally.
152
153Land spirit continued: "It seems this stargate Gu is best paired with the starlight fireflies. WIth the starlight fireflies, you will have starlight, and the stargate Gu can be used regardless of time or location."
154
155"What?" Fang Yuan heard this and his heart pounded, asking quickly: "Starlight firelfies, what are starlight fireflies?"
156
157"You don't know about starlight fireflies? That's true, they were already extremely rare during the immemorial era, and were extinct during the olden era. When the immemorial nine heavens were still around, most of the starlight fireflies lived in orange heaven." Land spirit exposed another ancient secret.
158
159Fang Yuan was disappointed: "Since it is extinct, there's no need to mention it."
160
161"The so-called extinct is merely in the mortal realm, recently, I saw a swarm of starlight firelight when making a transaction in treasure yellow heaven, I think it belongs to Star Lord Wan Xiang." Land spirit recalled.
162
163"Really?" Fang Yuan's eyes were shining.
164
165The reason he exchanged for connecting heaven Gu and divine sense Gu were so that he could impersonate a Gu Immortal and make transactions in treasure yellow heaven, to obtain resources and stop his reliance on Immortal Crane Sect.
166
167Land spirit's words greatly increased his interest in the starlight fireflies.
168
169Fang Yuan's eyes rolled, laughing craftily: "Land spirit, I still have many recipes here, but I only want starlight fireflies!"
170
171Land spirit shook its head: "I can't exchange that."
172
173"Why?"
174
175"I do not have starlight firefly Gu." Land spirit said as a matter of fact.
176
177Fang Yuan said snappily: "If you do not have starlight firefly Gu, can't you use connecting heaven Gu to buy it in treasure yellow heaven?"
178
179The land spirit looked at Fang Yuan with a weird expression: "Why do I have to buy starlight firefly Gu?"
180
181"If you do not buy starlight firefly Gu, how are you going to exchange for my recipe?"
182
183Land spirit shook its head, adamantly saying: "Your recipe can only exchange for Gu worms I currently have in the blessed land."
184
185Fang Yuan was speechless, the land spirit was rigid, it could not make such compromises, after all, it was not human, as a land spirit, it could not make flexible decisions.
186
187In the end, after Fang Yuan talked until his lips were about to tear, no progress was made.
188
189The land spirit only followed the rules.
190
191Fang Yuan could only stop his attempt, but suddenly he had a thought: "Wait, you said you will only exchange for Gu that are currently in your blessed land?"
192
193"Yes."
194
195Fang Yuan licked his dry lips: "Then I'll use my Immortal Gu recipe to exchange for your Heavenly Primeval Treasure Imperial Lotus, is that okay?"###Chapter 463: Fang Yuan’s awkwardness
196**Translator:** ChibiGeneral  **Editor:** ChibiGeneral
197
198Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was a a rank six Immortal Gu, but it was not a natural Gu, instead was invented by Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable.
199
200Rank three Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, rank four Heavenly Essence Treasure Monarch Lotus and rank five Heavenly Essence Treasure King Lotus could produce primeval essence, giving an enormous help in a Gu Master's primeval essence recovery.
201
202Rank six and above Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, however, produced immortal essence and had extremely huge use.
203
204Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable relied on this Gu to become the person with the most abundant immortal essence among rank nine Gu Immortals in all history.
205
206After Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable died, his Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was protected with layers of layers of security, becoming a famous treasure in the world. However, after dozen of years, an extremely daring rank seven Gu Immortal stole it.
207
208This rank seven Gu Immortal was the venerable after Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, the one who became the heavenly thief, Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable.
209
210After Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable died, this Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus was also destroyed.
211
212Long Hair Ancestor had many interactions with Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable and after the Demon Venerable went missing for hundreds of years, Long Hair Ancestor tried to refine the Gu. Finally, he succeeded in refining a rank six Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus.
213
214Later, he developed a preference for it and advanced it to rank eight stage.
215
216Immortal Gu were one of a kind and their names also remained the same. After they advance to stages beyond rank six , their names would not change.
217
218For example — Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus and Spring Autumn Cicada; when they advanced from rank six to rank seven, they would still be called Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus and Spring Autumn Cicada.
219
220After Long Hair Ancestor died, his obsession merged with the heavenly power to form a land spirit. This rank eight Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus also remained in Lang Ya blessed land.
221
222"Lang Ya blessed land would later be accidentally discovered by a soul path Gu Immortal called Gui Wang, leading the first wave of attacks. The result was that they were captured by the land spirit. However, the news regarding Lang Ya blessed land was leaked by Gui Wang and attracted more Gu Immortals. Later, a second wave of attacks came, and later, the third wave and so on. During the seventh wave, the heavenly court dispatched several rank seven Gu Immortals who brought Immortal Gu to the mortal realm."
223
224"After a tragic battle, Lang Ya blessed land finally collapsed while the Gu Immortals also suffered disastrous losses. Feng Jiu Ge died in this battle. However, Lang Ya blessed land's great number of recipes were taken by the heavenly court. Central continent's strength thus rose sharply and with just their strength, they attacked the four great regions."
225
226With his previous life's memories, Fang Yuan was clear of the future development.
227
228At this moment, when Fang Yuan suddenly mentioned the use of Immortal Gu recipe to exchange for Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, the land spirit refused without hesitation: "This is not possible! Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus can produce immortal essence, it is the reason why I can defend against the calamities and tribulations. At the same time, I need to use these immortal essence to refine Gu. Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus is non-exchangeable."
229
230"Is that so." Fang Yuan nodded with some disappointment since he had some expectations.
231
232However, the land spirit's next sentence ignited his hope again.
233
234"However, I have other Immortal Gu here. What recipe do you have? Rank seven recipe can only be exchanged for rank six Immortal Gu. Rank eight recipe can be exchanged for rank seven or rank six Immortal Gu."
235
236Fang Yuan's eyes let out a bright light.
237
238He knew Lang Ya blessed land had a rank seven beast enslavement Gu.
239
240This Immortal Gu could subdue any wild beast in the world; including mutated beasts, myriad beast emperor, even desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts!
241
242Long Hair Ancestor used this Gu to subdue many desolate beasts, including several ancient desolate beasts whom he buried under the twelve cloud buildings.
243
244With these desolate beasts' protection, the whole Lang Ya blessed land became a fortified castle and was able to resist till the sixth wave of Gu Immortals' crazed attack, and finally fell at the seventh wave.
245
246"This beast enslavement Gu is extremely important to the blessed land, the land spirit definitely won't exchange it. But Long Hair Ancestor has refined many Immortal Gu, he definitely had more than just beast enslavement Gu and Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus."
247
248Fang Yuan felt a rush and after thinking for a moment, he began to write a recipe.
249
250The old land spirit looked from the side with his hands behind his back. After observing for a while, he started laughing: "This is the second aperture Gu's recipe, right?"
251
252"Eh? You have this recipe too?" Fang Yuan stopped writing.
253
254"Of course, I have countless recipes here, including thousands of Immortal Gu recipes." The land spirit said proudly.
255
256'Such wealth, I see why even the heavenly court decided to attack.' Fang Yuan's eyes flashed as he sighed inwardly.
257
258"In that case…" He contemplated and started writing on another paper.
259
260He was writing the recipe for the rank six Blood Deity.
261
262The land spirit's eyes immediately let out a bright light when he saw the start of the recipe. But the light gradually dimmed.
263
264When Fang Yuan had written the third line, the land spirit said: "Although your blood path recipe might be amazing, it is only a remnant recipe. Even though some parts were patched up, there are many conflicts in the steps; there is a very small chance of successfully refining it. You cannot exchange this recipe for an Immortal Gu."
265
266Fang Yuan let out a sigh.
267
268Back then, this Blood Deity recipe that he obtained was a remnant piece. After his painstaking research and request for other Gu Immortals to repair it, this current recipe was formed.
269
270He knew, however, this recipe was not accurate. The reason why he did not choose to refine Blood Deity in his previous life was also mainly because of this.
271
272Later, through a coincidental opportunity, he obtained the accurate recipe for Spring Autumn Cicada. Thereupon, he abandoned the Blood Deity to refine Spring Autumn Cicada.
273
274However, Spring Autumn Cicada involved his greatest secret of rebirth, even if Lang Ya blessed land did not have this recipe, Fang Yuan would not take it out to exchange.
275
276He had taken the initiative to expose it in three kings blessed land because he was in dire straits and wanted to gamble for an overwhelming benefit.
277
278However, right now, he was not in a tight spot and thus did not need to take the risk.
279
280Since it was like this, Fang Yuan did not continue writing the recipe for the Blood Deity.
281
282The Immortal Gu recipes he knew was only about a dozen. But most of them was remnant recipes. Blood Deity's recipe was already the best of these remnant recipes.
283
284He only had two intact and correct Immortal Gu recipes; second aperture Gu and Spring Autumn Cicada. However, Lang Ya blessed land already had the recipe of the former while Fang Yuan did not dare to expose the latter.
285
286Fang Yuan fell into silence and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Land spirit, can I use rank five recipe to exchanged for a stargate Gu?"
287
288The land spirit shook his head: "No. You can only exchange for the Gu worms that I currently have."
289
290Fang Yuan was unresigned and asked: "Land spirit, could it be that you don't want to refine stargate Gu? This is a completely new Gu we are talking about here."
291
292"Of course I want to. Although it is not suitable for me to use, I can put it in treasure yellow heaven to sell. Hmm… but I can refine it whenever I want to, and I am not certain when I will do it." The land spirit suddenly reacted.
293
294He showed his intelligence at this time.
295
296"Little friend, you are Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor. You have three opportunities to ask me to refine Gu. But if you want to refine Immortal Gu, whether it succeeds or fails, it will be counted as one chance. If you want to refine mortal Gu, I will definitely make you the Gu. If you want the stargate Gu, I can refine it successfully for you." The land spirit proposed.
297
298Fang Yuan suddenly realized that there were these small details.
299
300No wonder Ma Hong Yun choose to refine three rank five Gu; at that time, when he fell into this place, he was only a mortal and might not know the value of a Immortal Gu. Moreover, a mortal body cannot use Immortal Gu. Thus, he refined three rank five Gu that could immediately increase his battle strength. After returning to the outside world, he turned the tide around, gathering his troops again and turned defeat into victory.
301
302When Ma Hong Yun later became a Gu Immortal, he realized how precious the opportunity in Lang Ya blessed land was. Unfortunately, he could only regret at that time.
303
304Ma Hong Yun's awkwardness became Fang Yuan's awkwardness too.
305
306Fang Yuan was only a mortal now, even if he got an Immortal Gu, he could not use it. Little Hu land spirit could use Immortal Gu, but whether it was hole earth Gu, connecting heaven Gu or stargate Gu, they could not support an Immortal Gu.
307
308That is to say, even if Fang Yuan possessed an Immortal Gu, he could not send it to Hu Immortal blessed land.
309
310Moreover, these three opportunities to refine Immortal Gu also had a precondition, that is Fang Yuan had to provide the recipes for them.
311
312If there was an error in the recipe, the refinement would fail. Immortal Gu were the only one of its kind, if someone else already possessed that Immortal Gu, the refinement would fail then as well.
313
314According to the land spirit's words, if the Immortal Gu refinement fails, one opportunity would be lost.
315
316Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable could refine six Immortal Gu at that time; one reason was because Long Hair Ancestor was arrogant and refused to fail intentionally, and another reason was Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable was brimming with talent with formidable ability and had made sufficient preparation and made use of every opportunity, causing Long Hair Ancestor to lose great amounts of precious and rare Gu refinement materials six times.
317
318Now, Long Hair Ancestor was dead and had turned into a land spirit, although he would not play tricks when refining Immortal Gu for Fang Yuan, he was after all a land spirit and not Long Hair Ancestor himself, thus his ability in Gu refinement was greatly reduced.
319
320'In that case, do I waste one precious opportunity to refine a stargate Gu?'
321
322Fang Yuan fell into deep contemplation.
323
324According to common sense, these three opportunities should be sufficiently exploited to refine three Immortal Gu like Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable did back in the day.
325
326However, Fang Yuan had huge problems in doing so.
327
328Firstly, he did not have Immortal Gu recipes. Secondly, he did not have the ability of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, and could not guarantee the success of Immortal Gu's refinement. If the refinement failed, it would mean one chance wasted. It was worse than refining a rank five Gu. The final crucial point was that he was only a mortal and could not use Immortal Gu. Although Immortal Gu had a very high value, it was of no help to him and would instead attract disaster, it would be worse than a rank five Gu.
329
330Even rank five Gu was not suitable for Fang Yuan; with Fang Yuan's current situation in northern plains, using rank four was the best.
331
332"Of course, I can leave these three opportunities for now. Anyway, I have already obtained the opportunities, even if Ma Hong Yun came personally or that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor appears, there would be no effect. However, I truly need stargate Gu at present!"
333
334Fang Yuan was hesitating and felt that he was in an awkward position.
335
336His current strength path cultivation only had thirty jun of strength, he urgently needed Gu worms to reform his skin and flesh. In terms of enslavement path cultivation, there was a great burden in feeding the wolf group and without a tribe to support them, he could only maintain around thirty thousand wolves by himself.
337
338In terms of soul, the wolfman soul was already formed, he could go to Dang Hun mountain and use guts Gu to strengthen it. In terms of cultivation, he fulfilled the conditions to breakthrough, but because of the region's suppression, he could not breakthrough to rank five right now.
339
340His current situation was like a chess player with all the chess pieces in places where they could not be moved. He was stuck in a deadlock, facing a huge bottleneck.
341

345What would uther do... One more chapter later.### Chapter 464: Either Eternal Life or Shit
346
347**Translator:** ChibiGeneral **Editor:** ChibiGeneral
348
349If there were no external influences and Fang Yuan could just rely on his own strength, he would be able to accumulate strength and breakthrough when the opportunity comes.
350
351However, because of Spring Autumn Cicada, what he lacked was time. Not only that, if he wasted time and could not make it to some opportunities, the advantage of his rebirth would also be gone.
352
353"These three chances are indeed very precious. Although blindly saving these chances for the future may give the impression that I will be able to make full use of these opportunities, it will in fact delay my growth. Specific situations need specific analysis; I cannot blindly follow Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's example, but Ma Hong Yun's choices also wasted these three chances."
354
355After deep and careful contemplation, Fang Yuan made his decision.
356
357"Land spirit, I have thought it through." Fang Yuan spoke slowly, "This time, my request is for you to refine stargate Gu. As for the remaining two chances, I will leave it for later."
358
359"You really want me to refine stargate Gu? You need to know you are giving up a precious chance to refine Immortal Gu. Maybe, you can take a gamble and use that recipe for Blood Deity." land spirit instead tried to persuade Fang Yuan.
360
361He liked recipes to an extreme degree, Blood Deity's recipe might be damaged but he still wanted to collect it.
362
363Fang Yuan shook his head, when he decided on something, he would not hesitate: "No, refine stargate Gu."
364
365"Alright. There is no strongest Gu worm in this world, only a Gu worm that is most suitable for oneself. You can't use Immortal Gu, but looks like this stargate Gu is extremely useful to you. I will refine this Gu for you."
366
367The land spirit grandpa then willed as he teleported five Gu Immortals over.
368
369Among these five Gu Immortals; one was very ugly, one had a ruddy face, one wore blue clothes, one wore yellow garments and one wore pink skirt. They were Gui Wang's group.
370
371They attacked Lang Ya blessed land, throwing in their green grape immortal essence to expend Lang Ya blessed land's white litchi immortal essence.
372
373However, the result was that the land spirit had intentionally shown weakness in order to capture all of them.
374
375Lang Ya blessed land had rank eight Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus and would never lack white litchi immortal essence. Gui Wang and the group did not have an Immortal Gu, thus the land spirit enticed them into the blessed land.
376
377It waited till these five rushed into the cloud buildings before confining their rank five Gu.
378
379Gui Wang and the rest realized the situation was bad, promptly using all their immortal essence but they could not compare to the Lang Ya land spirit.
380
381The land spirit did not use even a single desolate beast to capture these five immortals.
382
383Having cultivated to this stage, the five immortals knew to adapt to the circumstances and immediately chose to save their lives by submitting to the land spirit.
384
385After finding themselves teleported over, they soon reacted and bowed to the land spirit, greeting together: "Subordinates greet Lord Lang Ya land spirit!"
386
387"Hm…" The land spirit stroked his snow white beard, recovering his sagely demeanor just like when Fang Yua first saw him.
388
389"This is Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor Chang Shan Yin, greet him." land spirit introduced Fang Yuan.
390
391"Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor?!" The five immortals looked at each other, clearly seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
392
393Their contempt towards Fang Yuan because of his mortal identity immediately disappeared. Who was Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable? He was a rank nine Gu Immortal!
394
395Since Immemorial Era to Remote Antiquity Era, Olden Antiquity Era, Medieval Antiquity Era, Early Antiquity Era to present age, only around ten venerable level Gu Immortals had appeared in human history.
396
397An inheritor of a rank nine Gu Immortal…
398
399This identity shocked the five immortals before this shock turned into envy and jealousy.
400
401"Why don't I have such luck to become an inheritor?"
402
403"This kid's luck is too good, simply too heaven defying. He actually became Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritor!"
404
405"Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had set up many inheritances, it is rumored that his greatest inheritance is in space cave. I wonder how many inheritances did he get?"
406
407The five immortals' thoughts surged rapidly while they greeted Fang Yuan.
408
409The act of Gu Immortals greeting mortals was like an elephant kowtowing to an ant. But the five immortals did not feel any humiliation.
410
411Meanwhile, Fang Yuan was extremely indifferent, even if a rank nine Gu Immortal kowtowed to him, he would not feel any honor. If the roles were reversed, even if he had to beg and kneel to a mortal, he would not feel any humiliation.
412
413In his eyes, all that would eventually die were equal.The only difference was whether they died early or late.
414
415Be it those with status and social class, whether they were nobles or peasants, they were nothing more than a group of fools waiting to die. All of them live in a fake world with self-imposed rules, by comparing the lives of each other, a portion of these fools would feel that they were living a great life.
416
417In truth, those fools who think of themselves as nobles or aristocrats were only deceiving themselves. And those fools who think of themselves as lowly are even more pitiful. Are kings given their high status upon birth? All living beings are born equal, why should one bow to others?
418
419"There is only immortality, only eternal life should be the goal one should pursue! If one cannot live forever, is there any difference between a rank nine Gu Immortal and a pile of shit in the gutter?! I am a huge fool, but I do not wish to be a fool that is made of shit…"
420
421There was no way to express such mental behavior and aspirations to others, and even more importantly Fang Yuan did not want to express them.
422
423Fang Yuan indifferently accepted the greetings of the five immortals then looked at Lang Ya land spirit: "Land spirit, are you not going to personally refine the Gu?"
424
425"Of course I will personally refine it, but having these five as support can be considered making use of trash." Land spirit snickered.
426
427Being called trash and also being disregarded by Fang Yuan caused these five immortals' expressions to turn unsightly.
428
429Rage was burning in them, but they were captives right now and they could not flare out. They could only helplessly hold in this anger and listen to the land spirit's commands.
430
431However, the first try at Gu refinement by former Long Hair Ancestor who turned into a land spirit, along with the help of five immortals, ended up in failure.
432
433"Hmph, this stargate Gu is rather difficult. There was no mistakes from me, but rather the refinement itself has only a fixed success rate." The land spirit explained and said to Fang Yuan, "Don't worry, stargate Gu is only rank five, I will definitely complete the refinement for you."
434
435"Hehe, I will be waiting." Fang Yuan lied down on the cloud bed with no hurry.
436
437The time flow in Lang Ya blessed land was thirty-six times faster than the outside world. Over a month here would only be a day in outside world.
438
439The land spirit had inherited Long Hair Ancestor's arrogance and his temperament became bad when he failed.
440
441He glanced at Fang Yuan and saw that he had already finished drinking the cloud mist tea, he casually pointed to an immortal: "You! Clumsy and having breasts for brains, I don't need you to refine the Gu, go make tea for my little friend!"
442
443The female immortal who was scolded and ordered was Fairy Huang Sha.
444
445She was furious, but did not dare to flare up as her life was in Lang Ya land spirit's hands. She could only bite her lips and forcibly restrain her anger to steep tea for Fang Yuan.
446
447Fang Yuan, however, said: "I don't like to drink tea, do you have wine here? I only like drinking top quality wine, there should be some in your grand Lang Ya blessed land, right?"
448
449"Hmph! Why would there not be? Celestial horse wine and destitute wine, both are top quality wine, which one do you want to drink?"
450
451"Bring out both of them for me to taste." Fang Yuan said without batting an eyelid.
452
453Thereupon, Fairy Huang Sha became Fang Yuan's serving maid.
454
455The celestial horse wine was milky white and gave off a thick fragrance of milk; it tasted silky, mellow and soft. Destitute wine did not have any special color, looking like clear soup, and did not have even a bit of wine fragrance; it also tasted flavorless. However, the after-effect was extremely strong, usually only one mouthful would be enough to make one completely drunk for seven-eight days.
456
457Taking advantage of the land spirit refining Gu, Fang Yuan just took a light sip before openly storing these two vats of wine in wolf swallow Gu.
458
459The second Gu refinement attempt also failed.
460
461The land spirit's expression became even more unsightly as he howled: "Hmph, I don't believe it, I will continue!"
462
463The land spirit naturally sensed Fang Yuan storing the wine, but right now because of his self-respect, he chose to ignore it.
464
465"Young master, please be merciful and save this servant." Looking at the land spirit and the rest going for third attempt at Gu refinement, Fairy Huang Sha implored to Fang Yuan with a soft and weeping voice.
466
467Her skin was white and tender, like a litchi whose skin had just been removed. Her eyebrows were bluish-black, her eyes were like a lake hiding an amorous gaze. Her breasts were very big and her waist was thin, her figure was endlessly seductive and one could even say it could shock heart and soul.
468
469Right now, as she talked with eyes that had tears in them, let alone men, even women would be moved.
470
471"If you can save this servant, I am willing to serve you for my whole life and follow your orders." Fairy Huang Sha implored again with soft voice.
472
473This was a pleading from a female Gu Immortal!
474
475If it were any other mortal men, they would already be extremely moved and their little brother would furiously rise up. Men all had a desire to conquer, especially if it was conquering a noble woman.
476
477But Fang Yuan did not even glance at her. These five immortals were all cannon fodder in his past life, they all died in Lang Ya blessed land. They paid a proper price for their greed and impulse.
478
479Although Fairy Huang Sha was beautiful, she was no different from a pile of dung in the gutter in Fang Yuan's mind.
480
481"But if I cannot obtain immortality, I am also a pile of shit in the gutter… hehehe." Fang Yuan sneered in his mind.
482
483Fairy Huang Sha was about to plead again. She had complete confidence in her beauty, and right now she had a feeling that this person might be her only chance to escape with her life.
484
485However how could she know Fang Yuan was even more abnormal than Lang Ya land spirit.
486
487"You are too noisy, get lost." Fang Yuan directly kicked the half leaning delicate body of Fairy Huang Sha.
488
489Fairy Huang Sha fell down on the floor, she was baffled and could not react for a long while.
490
491*She was actually rejected? Is he not a man?!*
492
493A strong sense of humiliation struck her proud heart, causing her face to become twisted and her gaze towards Fang Yuan filled with extreme resentment.
494
495"Hehe." Fang Yuan scoffed, got off the cloud bed and walked towards Fairy Huang Sha, then he lifted his foot in front of her face.
496
497A dull sound was heard, Fairy Huang Sha was kicked over and her head struck the floor, producing another heavy dull sound.
498
499Her rank five Gu worms were all taken away. Under the situation where her immortal essence was used up and was under Lang Ya blessed land's suppression as well, how could she be Fang Yuan's match?
500
501"You!"
502
503Fairy Huang Sha's lungs were about to burst with anger, her incisor tooth had broken from the kck, causing her mouth to fill with blood. She let out a deep growl and her expression turned malevolent; compared to her weeping and pitiful look just before, they looked like two completely different person.
504
505"Hmph, how can mere beauty entice me? If you look at me one more time, do you believe I will not smash all your teeth?" Fang Yuan's dark and deep pupils shone with cruelty.
506
507Fairy Huang Sha's delicate body shuddered, she tightly clenched her fists and seemed to exhaust all her strength to stand up.
508
509But she lowered her head in the end and did not look at Fang Yuan again.
510
511At the other side, stargate Gu's refinement failed again.
512
513The land spirit stomped his foot in anger, his expression turning even worse. He was aware of the situation with Fairy Huang Sha.
514
515He approached Fang Yuan and smiled: "Little friend, please don't get angry. I just captured this little thing, so haven't had the time to teach them properly. You can play with her if you want, make her dance or strip her clothes or do anything you want. Hehehe, materials have been used up, I will go buy them."
516
517Hearing these words, Fairy Huang Sha seemed to have fallen into an ice hole. An intense feeling of humiliation surged in her heart like a tide.
518
519"Make me strip my clothes and dance?!"
520
521This proposal made her feel incomparably cold and afraid. Since young till now, she had never received such treatment. A grand Gu Immortal being played with, Fairy Huang Sha felt it would be better to die instead!
522
523Gui Wang and Loner Hong Yu at the side seemed to have been stimulated as they licked their dry lips and looked at Fairy Huang Sha with burning gaze.
524
525The two who were normally close to Fairy Huang Sha like sisters, Fairy Fen Meng and Fairy Qing Suo, remained silent as if they had not heard anything.
526
527As the tragedy was about to unfold, Fang Yuan sneered: "Strip her clothes, make her dance? No need, what meaning is there in that? Lust? Desire to conquer? Hmph, nothing but pointless urges. What I am interested in now is only stargate Gu."

536
537Gui Wang and Loner Hong Yu were very disappointed.
538
539Fairy Qing Suo and Fairy Fen Meng let out a breath of turbid air, their expressions were complex.
540
541The heavy stone in Fairy Huang Sha's heart fell and her body completely relaxed, almost falling down to the ground. The hatred in her heart towards Fang Yuan and the land spirit deepened by several times.
542
543"As long as I can escape, as long as I can make a comeback, I will cut your bodies into a thousand pieces to relieve this hatred in my heart!"
544
545"Hehe… little friend is indeed worthy of being a Demon Venerable's inheritor." The land spirit let out a forced laughter and took out connecting heaven Gu.
546
547This connecting heaven Gu turned into a round mirror when it was activated and flew to the top of the land spirit and stayed there.
548
549The scene of pitch darkness in the mirror suddenly changed, letting out a bright yellow light.
550
551The land spirit activated divine sense Gu, divine sense was transmitted into the mirror in waves after waves, and exchanged with other waves of divine sense.
552
553At the same time, the surface of the mirror continuously changed and showed pictures of all kinds of materials.
554
555The land spirit seemed to have already made an agreement; he took out two immortal essence stones out of nowhere and threw into the connecting heaven Gu.
556
557The surface of the mirror seemed to ripple; the immortal essence stones went into the mirror and materials were spurted out by the mirror one after another.
558
559"This time, I have bought twenty sets of materials, I don't believe the refinement won't succeed!" The land spirit said fiercely.
560
561The Gu refinement began again and at the final stage, bright starlight converged to become a pair of oval stones.
562
563"Success!" The land spirit laughed heartily and handed these two oval blue gemstone like Gu worms to Fang Yuan, "This is stargate Gu, I have finished the agreement."
564
565"How do I know if it works or not?" Fang Yuan held this pair of stargate Gu and asked.
566
567The land spirit fumed in anger as if it had received a great insult: "Are you doubting my Gu refinement ability? You can exchange it if it won't do!"
568
569"Alright, I shall take my leave then." Fang Yuan was extremely straightforward and expressed his intent to leave.
570
571The land spirit fiercely stared at his eyes: "Leaving just like that? Then the remaining two chances, you won't use them now?"
572
573"I am saving them for now. Where is the exit?"
574
575The land spirit waved his hand, teleporting the five immortals away. His expression then greatly eased: "What recipes do you have now? Write them all out and let me look."
576
577"None left. If I had any, I would have exchanged them with you." Fang Yuan shirked.
578
579"I have a feeling little friend, you have something good still left!" The land spirit looked at Fang Yuan doubtfully and mumbled, "Alright then, I shall wait for your return."
580
581The land spirit then waved his sleeve.
582
583Fang Yuan's vision blurred and when it cleared, he saw he was back at the stone forest. Beside him was the stone stool he sat at before and behind was that purple stone pillar.
584
585The stars shone brightly at the sky, the temperature was low and one could see their breath coming out.
586
587Everything before seemed like a dream, causing Fang Yuan to feel like it was all a life-like illusion.
588
589He looked at the sky, he had spent quite some time in Lang Ya blessed land, but only 1/36 of that time had passed in the outside world.
590
591Stargate Gu, divine sense Gu, connecting heaven Gu and the two small vat of top quality wine in wolf swallow Gu were clear evidences that allowed Fang Yuan to recall this fortuitous encounter.
592
593"I had intended to use all the three chances, but who knew I could use recipes to exchange for Gu, thus I still have two chances left. If this stargate Gu can be used, it would make spending a Gu refinement chance worth it!"
594
595Fang Yuan thought of this as he left the place and returned to the wolf group.
596
597This was a time where he had to make use of every second to prevent causing any complications. Fang Yuan sat cross-legged at the grassy land under the protection of the wolf kings and began writing a letter.
598
599The letter was soon finished, he then activated moving perspective cup Gu. After a moment, the moving perspective cup exchanged with the other one through the space cave; and Fang Yuan took out a rank four Gu and a letter from it.
600
601This Gu was like a dried fish, named dried pond Gu and was a water path Gu worm with a special effect. It is used to boost the effects of other Gu worms.
602
603Once this Gu arrived in northern plains, it was immediately suppressed to rank three.
604
605Fang Yuan browsed through the letter and nodded in satisfaction: "During these days when I was not at the blessed land, it seems little Hu Immortal had been extremely diligent and did not forget the task I gave before I left, refining twenty dried pond Gu. Great!"
606
607Fang Yuan then sent another letter including several praises towards little Hu Immortal.
608
609"Master praised me, I am so happy." Little Hu Immortal's face flushed with happiness after she read the letter.
610
611"Master, I miss you…" Little Hu Immortal lied down on the table and started writing, "When master is not here, I feel anxious. Master, are you okay? I am sending another dried pond Gu there."
612
613Little Hu Immortal used her delicate small hand to fold the letter properly before putting it into moving perspective cup Gu.
614
615At the same time, she also added a dried pond Gu.
616
617After a good while, moving perspective cup Gu leisurely flew up and entered space cave, exchanging with the other moving perspective cup and appearing before Fang Yuan.
618
619Fang Yuan immediately took out the dried pond Gu and glanced at the letter. Then he absorbed primeval stones to recover his primeval essence before activating moving perspective cup Gu again.
620
621After repeating this over and over, he received a total of eight dried pond Gu.
622
623"If I use the eight dried pond Gu together, their effects should stack up and match a rank four level."
624
625Fang Yuan crushed these dried pond Gu on the spot; the dried pond Gu turned into eight halos which twisted around moving perspective cup Gu. At the same time, on Hu Immortal blessed land, Little Hu Immortal also crushed eight dried pond Gu and overlaid them on moving perspective cup Gu.
626
627Moving perspective cup Gu was a rank five Gu, but in northern plains, it was suppressed to rank four. Thus, it could only transport rank four Gu worms.
628
629Now, after using eight dried pond Gu, moving perspective cup Gu's ability advanced to rank five and could transport rank five Gu.
630
631Fang Yuan waited for a while before taking out connecting heaven Gu and gravely put it in moving perspective cup Gu, then transferred his primeval essence.
632
633After successful activation, the two moving perspective cup completed their exchange in space cave and the cup with connecting heaven Gu appeared in Hu Immortal blessed land.
634
635Little Hu Immortal cheered and took out the connecting heaven Gu.
636
637Tiny cracks appeared on moving perspective cup Gu.
638
639Although dried pond Gu could amplify a Gu worm's ability, it was like draining the pond to get the fish or burning the forest to hunt. Although it greatly raised the power, the Gu worm would perish because of the excessively forced power-up.
640
641Next, Fang Yuan sent divine sense Gu to Hu Immortal blessed land, and the cracks on moving perspective cup Gu intensified.
642
643Fang Yuan silently took out primeval stones and quickly replenished his primeval essence.
644
645He then sent one blue gemstone of the stargate Gu to Hu Immortal blessed land.
646
647Fortunately, stargate Gu was not an Immortal Gu, but a rank five Gu, allowing Fang Yuan to be barely able to use moving perspective cup Gu to send it to Hu Immortal blessed land.
648
649After the stargate Gu was sent to the blessed land, moving perspective cup Gu had already become deformed with cracks all over it and was on the verge of collapse.
650
651At this point, it could still be used for one last time.
652
653Fang Yuan stored the moving perspective cup Gu in his aperture and did not use it again.
654
655He was waiting now.
656
657Moving perspective cup Gu had been refined by him and possessed his will. But he had already lent it to little Hu Immortal, thus she could also use it.
658
659The several times before were all him using moving perspective cup Gu.
660
661It was because Hu Immortal blessed land's timeflow was several times faster than at northern plains. If little Hu Immortal recklessly activated it from the blessed land, it was very possible Fang Yuan would not have been prepared.
662
663" *Puff* … it is up to little Hu Immortal now. If she fails, she will have to send another moving perspective cup Gu for the final use. Hopefully, she can succeed."
664
665Before Fang Yuan left, he had refined only one set of moving perspective cup Gu. But he had reminded Little Hu Immortal. For a period of time, Little Hu Immortal and Immortal Crane Sect had made several transactions and exchanged many Gu refinement materials, and had already refined the second set of moving perspective cup Gu.
666
667Time was becoming somewhat difficult to endure.
668
669Whether it was connecting heaven Gu or divine sense Gu, they were both rank five Gu and had an extremely huge demand for primeval essence. Even a rank five peak stage Gu Master might only be able to last for several breaths. Thus, usually only Gu Immortals or land spirits would consume immortals essence to use them.
670
671As for why Fang Yuan did not activate moving perspective cup Gu at Lang Ya blessed land, it was because he did not want to expose them. If it was exposed, the Lang Ya land spirit would definitely demand for its recipe.
672
673Minutes ticked by, and with several times the speed at Hu Immortal blessed land.
674
675The chilly night wind made Fang Yuan slightly restless. He stood up and began to pace around.
676
677The sky was filled with many stars, providing sufficient starlight. The stargate Gu in Fang Yuan's hand, however, had no movement.
678
679"Did it fail? Was that group of starlight firefly Gu at treasure yellow heaven bought by someone else?" As time passed by, Fang Yuan's heart continued to sink.
680
681He stopped pacing about and stood on the spot for a long while with his hands behind his back.
682
683He gazed afar, crescent lake sparkled with light in tranquilness. The wolf group beside him; some were standing and some were lying down, all with different postures.
684
685He could not help thinking back to that scene when he went to capture the liquor worm at Qing Mao mountain.
686
687He broke out in laughter, his worries gone and his gaze once more became unclouded.
688
689All the worries, all the pressure, all the impatience since the start till now dispersed with the wind.
690
691He gazed at the night sky and breathed out all the turbid air in him, and suddenly felt that his current life was so beautiful; giving everything to pursue the greatest goal, having no regrets.
692
693He came to an understanding, his heart was clear like a mirror that could not be stained by dust, tranquil like this crescent lake.
694
695Since his rebirth at Qing Mao mountain, he had always been exhausting his mind, and now he suddenly understood something.
696
697This comprehension was unclear as it lingered around his heart before finally turning into a sentence, he mumbled: "The night sky is really beautiful."
698
699This was his heartfelt emotion.
700
701The moment he said these words, Fang Yuan's body lightened and felt he had unloaded a thousand jin of weight, as if he was about to fly.
702
703His entire disposition also seemed to have changed. The cold aura disappeared without a trace, turning into a clear and carefree aura. The dark pupils with abysmal depths let out a clear light now, just like a newborn baby or like a star.
704
705The stargate Gu in his hand slightly shook at this moment and the shaking intensified.
706
707Fang Yuan opened his hand.
708
709The blue gemstone-like stargate Gu leisurely flew in the air, large amounts of starlight gathered and condensed towards it. The scene was beautiful and dreamy.
710
711In an instant, the starlight formed into an enormous oval door.
712
713Stargate Gu had succeeded!
714
715Fang Yuan calmly watched it; the corner of his lips slightly curled up into a smile, but his eyes were still calm as water.
716
717He unhurriedly stepped into the stargate, the starlight in front of him turned into a whirlpool and flew away with his body.
718
719After a dozen or so breaths of time, he walked out of the stargate and appeared in Hu Immortal blessed land.
720
721"Master, you are back!" Little Hu Immortal was extremely happy as she leapt into Fang Yuan's chest.
722
723Fang Yuan chuckled and rubbed the land spirit's tiny head.
724
725"Yes, I am back." He gently said.

731Translator: ChibiGeneral  Editor: ChibiGeneral
732
733After several months, Fang Yuan finally returned to Hu Immortal blessed land.
734
735The little Hu Immortal land spirit became very excited upon his return; the flow of time inside of the immortal land was five times faster compared to the outside world. While Fang Yuan had only spent a few months in northern plains, to her, it had already been a year.
736
737Fang Yuan looked at the stargate behind him.
738
739This stargate, compared to the one in northern plains, was much smaller. It was about the height of a person, and barely allowed Fang Yuan to fit through. 
740
741The one at the crescent lake in northern plains was much taller, and was many times wider.
742
743"Stargate Gu isn't isn't split into main and sub Gu, it consumes too much primeval essence, even a rank five peak stage Gu Master cannot sustain it for three breaths' time, only immortal essence could allow it to be used continuously. If little Hu Immortal land spirit activates it first, while i hold the other half in my hands and activate it along with her, I will not have to consume primeval essence."
744
745"However, the stargate Gu's activation not only requires large amount of primeval essence, it also needs a large amount of starlight, in order to form the gate. Northern plains is one of the five regions, stars fill the sky and starlight is abundant. But here in the Hu Immortal blessed land, the starlight is vastly inferior, as the only source comes from the starlight firefly Gu."
746
747As Fang Yuan was inwardly thought to himself, his gaze rested upon the small swarm of starlight firefly Gu that fluttered about in the air.
748
749The starlight firefly Gu was a rank three Gu, small in size, almost like a normal firefly, but when they were activated, they emitted genuine azure starlight.
750
751This swarm of fireflies, originally consisted of more than five hundred, but because of the activations of the stargate Gu, thirty-two of them already died. In order to maintain the activated stargate Gu, one firefly dies in every three breath's time.
752
753Five hundred starlight firefly Gu, while it may seem like a large amount, it could not maintain the gate for a long period of time. 
754
755Because of this, Fang Yuan commanded little Hu Immortal to deactivate the stargate Gu.
756
757The stargate dissipated, and reverted back into a oval sapphire. Little Hu Immortal stretched out her pale and delicate hands, and commanded the precious stargate Gu to return to her.
758
759"Master, here you go!" Little Hu Immortal cupped the stargate Gu with both of her hands, and looked up with her big watery eyes, offering the stargate Gu to Fang Yuan. 
760
761Fang Yuan gently rubbed her little fox ears, and gave her a soft smile: "I'm leaving it with you, so take good care of it. If I need to use it in the future, I will contact you using the moving perspective cup Gu."
762
763"Yes, Master! I'll definitely take good care of it!" Little Hu Immortal solemnly put the stargate Gu within the small pocket of her dress, and patted it with her tiny hand.
764
765As for the stargate Gu in northern plains, it rested on the grassland, closely guarded by the myriad wolf pack.
766
767"Master, there are two pieces of immortal essence stones left. I listened to your instructions, using the Immortal Gu recipe to trade for the starlight firefly Gu, this is the excess." Little Hu immortal presented them to him.
768
769Normal primeval stones, were the size of duck eggs, and were grey in color. Immortal essence stones were also the size of duck eggs, but were not oval in shape, rather, they were round like pearls, and the entire body was glossy, having a translucent and sparkly appearance. They resembled crystals, but had the lustre of jade.
770
771If normal primeval stones were equated to mortals, then the immortal essence stones could be equated to immortals.
772
773Immortal essence stones were extremely precious, as it can be used to replenish immortal essence. In addition, it was also used in transactions between immortals, adopted as a precious currency. In the vast Gu world, only the heavenly court could produce immortal essence stones. 
774
775"I see immortal essence stones once again." Fang Yuan smiled with a sigh.
776
777These two immortal essence stones were incredibly valuable, more valuable than two hundred million primeval essence stones.
778
779In his previous five hundred years, the most number of immortal essence stones Fang Yuan had held at one point in time was merely over sixty pieces. 
780
781Fang Yuan put away the immortal essence stones, "Good, let's return to Dang Hun mountain".
782
783Little Hu Immortal grew delighted upon hearing this, and quickly held Fang Yuan's hand, and in the next moment they teleported inside Dang Hun palace.
784
785"Quickly activate the connecting heaven Gu." Fang Yuan commanded.
786
787There was another stargate Gu was in northern plains, he could not relax.
788
789Trouble brews as time passes, Fang Yuan should act quickly and efficiently settle the matters of Hu Immortal blessed land.
790
791Little Hu immortal promptly activated the connecting heaven Gu.
792
793Hole earth Gu, once planted in the blessed land, could no longer be changed. It was the same for connecting heaven Gu.
794
795Fang Yuan's connecting heaven Gu, since it was linked to treasure yellow heaven, it could no longer be altered.
796
797Little Hu Immortal consumed a slight amount of immortal essence, and the entire body of the Gu worm grew into a round mirror, and floated in the air.
798
799Reflected in the mirror was a scene of treasure yellow heaven.
800
801The grotto-heaven was deserted and absolutely empty, with a lemon-like yellow color dying the air slightly. The grotto-heaven was devoid of any mountains, vegetation, and animals which were usually found in ordinary grotto-heavens.
802
803Above blessed lands were grotto-heavens.
804
805The most famous grotto-heaven was recorded within <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, it was the famous immemorial nine heavens.
806
807Verdant Great Sun refined the fixed immortal travel Gu, and flew up to the nine heavens. In azure heaven, he obtained a segment of the jade-green jade bamboo. In blue heaven, he collected the eight-sided diamonds inside the star fragments.
808
809The immemorial nine heavens consisted of; white heaven, red heaven, orange heaven, yellow heaven, green heaven, azure heaven, blue heaven, purple heaven, and black heaven. 
810
811But later, when Ren Zu's son caused havoc in heaven and earth, red, orange, yellow, green, azure, blue, and purple, the seven heavens were destroyed consecutively, and all that remained were white and black heavens, with the two alternating between day and night. 
812
813The treasure yellow heaven, was closely related to the yellow heaven of the immemorial nine heavens.
814
815In the Medieval Antiquity Era, a rank eight Gu Immortal, known as Daoist Countless Treasures, acquired a fragment of yellow heaven by chance. He fused the fragment into his grotto-heaven, and formed treasure yellow heaven.
816
817Treasure yellow heaven was a very unique grotto-heaven, it was empty without any mountains, trees, or rivers, and there were also no birds, beasts, worms, or fish, there were only precious treasure within.
818
819There was a rank eight immortal Gu in treasure yellow heaven — treasure light Gu.
820
821Rank one to rank three treasure light Gu were everywhere, rank four to rank five treasure light Gu were often held in the hands of large forces. Above rank five, the treasure light Immortal Gu, of course, there was only one which was inside treasure yellow heaven.
822
823Treasure light Gu specialized in assessing the value of an item. The greater the value of the item, the brighter the light of the treasure light Gu.
824
825In Shang clan city, the battle stage would use the treasure light Gu to evaluate the value of their various Gu worms, and thus assess the strength of the Gu master.
826
827The main application of treasure light Gu was not merely appraisal, but it could also be used to search for treasure.
828
829The range of the treasure light Gu was small, and often had to be used in tandem with other Gu worms to boost its detection range.
830
831In the past, Daoist Countless Treasures used the Immortal Gu treasure light to find countless number of treasures. As time passed, he gained his reputation and title of "Countless Treasures".
832
833Little Hu Immortal continuously activated the connecting heaven Gu, the image in the mirror changed constantly, as pictures of various objects appeared.
834
835Gu worms, beast groups, variant humans, vegetation, ore veins, soil, water, quality wine, and other various supplies, all that could be bought was sold.
836
837Suddenly, the screen displayed a swarm of starlight firefly Gu.
838
839"Master, this is sold by Starlord Wan Xiang." Little Hu Immortal land spirit used the divine sense Gu to communicate with the merchant.
840
841"Starlight firefly Gu cannot reproduce, I need a large amount of ordinary starlight fireflies." Fang Yuan nodded as he said. 
842
843Little Hu Immortal communicated for a while, then turned to Fang Yuan: "Master, Starlord Wan Xiang said he's not selling."
844
845Fang Yuan was not upset, but instead chuckled: "Hehe, there is nothing that cannot be sold in this world. Not selling merely means the price isn't high enough, the benefits are not enough to entice them."
846
847As he spoke, he recalled the remnant recipes of a few Immortal Gu, he wrote them down on a piece of cowhide, and threw it into the connecting heaven Gu. 
848
849The cowhide was completely ordinary, but because it recorded the remnant recipes of Immortal Gu, it was invaluable.
850
851Once it passed through the connecting heaven Gu and arrived at treasure yellow heaven, all of the cowhide pieces showed three to nine meters of treasure light. This treasure light was rainbow-colored, a beautiful mix of purple and red, it was exceptionally beautiful.
852
853"Inform him that the price is negotiable." Fang Yuan gave a bright smile, and informed little Hu Immortal.
854
855He wasn't afraid of Starlord Wan Xiang's refusal.
856
857Immortal Gu were incomparably enticing to Gu Immortals. Although they were just remnant recipes, they were still often in high demand without ample supply.
858
859Looking at those Gu Immortals who had lived for a long time and had great foundations, which one of them did not have tens of Immortal Gu remnant recipes in their hands?
860
861But these remnant recipes were rarely sold.
862
863Similar or closely related Immortal Gu remnant recipes, when combined with each other, would often allow the actual recipe to be discovered. After the Immortal Gu were refined using the recipe, no one else would be able to create them.
864
865Because of this, the Immortal Gu remnant recipes were rarely traded. Even if they were sold, it would be to exchange remnant recipes for remnant recipes.
866
867Earlier, Fang Yuan had only given the most lacking recipe that he could remember, the treasure light only glowed for one meter, and Starlord Wan Xiang gave him a swarm of starlight fireflies, and two immortal essence stones in exchange.
868
869Now, with so many secret recipes, the treasure light was at least three meters, Starlord Wan Xiang had to be moved.
870
871These remnant recipes, once sent in, attracted countless gazes within treasure yellow heaven.
872
873A large number of divine senses were immediately sent over, little Hu Immortal had to use the divine sense Gu until her little cheeks turned pale.
874
875"Master, so many Gu Immortals have sent their divine senses over, asking for the price for these remnant recipes!"
876
877Fang Yuan gave a laugh, "Send a message over, tell them: Each of these recipes can be sold, but they have to queue up one by one. Tell them about the starlight firefly, demand at least a hundred thousand."
878
879Little Hu Immortal sent her divine sense over, and immediately, someone called 'Fairy Yao Guang', a female Gu Immortal said that she nurtured a large number of starlight fireflies in her blessed land, and wished to exchange.
880
881Fang Yuan smiled.
882
883As expected, Starlord Wan Xiang also changed his attitude, repeatedly approaching him with offers.
884
885A third Gu immortal, calling himself 'Di Yuan' , said he possessed a large number of starlight fireflies.
886
887Fang Yuan paused for a short while, and when he did not see another Gu Immortal making an offer, he could help but let out a sigh of sorrow: these starlight fireflies were immemorial creatures, by the present age, only a small amount were still around.
888
889With competitors, everything became easier.
890
891Fang Yuan stayed silent, and let the three Immortals bid against each other. This was an undisguised scheme, but how could there be any morons who cultivated to the level of Gu Immortal? The three immortals did not bid against each other aggressively, instead they negotiated properly, each offering thirty-three thousand starlight fireflies. 
892
893The three groups of starlight fireflies, entered the connecting heaven Gu respectively, each emitting a treasure light.
894
895Among them, Fairy Yao Guang's group of fireflies emitted the most feeble light, only three meters in length, Di Yuan's fireflies emitted a treasure light of five and a half meters, while Starlord Wan Xiang's fireflies emitted the most powerful light, seven meters in length. This was because there were many starlight firefly Gu mixed in with his group of fireflies.
896
897"It seem this Starlord Wan Xiang nurtured a lot of starlight fireflies. I remember now, originally after the stargate Gu appeared, Starlord Wan Xiang acted quickly and relied on selling starlight fireflies Gu to earn a large amount of immortal essence stones." 
898
899Fang Yuan suddenly recalled this bit of information.
900
901Five hundred years of memories contained too much information, many details were not clear, but upon seeing this, his originally obscure memory became clearer.
902
903After the appearance of the stargate Gu, the price of starlight firefly Gu also rose like a boat riding the tide. In the future, the treasure yellow heaven would not even sell starlight firefly swarms anymore, but only sold starlight firefly Gu.
904
905Gu worms cannot reproduce, but only ordinary insects had that capability.
906
907Immediately, Fang Yuan traded three recipes, and obtained over a hundred thousand starlight fireflies. As long as he bred them carefully afterwards, Fang Yuan would be able to produce his own starlight firefly Gu and not need to pay an exorbitant price to purchase them in the future.
908

910
911Translator: ChibiGeneral  Editor: ChibiGeneral
912
913Despite having purchased over a hundred thousand starlight fireflies, the trade was far from over.
914
915Fang Yuan also needed to take care of the issue of feeding these insects.
916
917"Starlight fireflies consume star fragment grass, I happen to have a large amount of star fragment grass on me, I can sell them to you." Starlord Wan Xiang conveyed his thoughts using divine sense.
918
919"I need the seeds as well as your farming knowledge. Let's look at the treasure light intensity first." Fang Yuan spoke through little Hu Immortal, who relayed the information to Starlord Wan Xiang, Fairy Yao Guang, and Di Yuan using divine sense.
920
921Soon, three documents entered into treasure yellow heaven, each giving off a strong treasure light.
922
923This time, instead of Starlord Wan Xiang, it was Fairy Yao Guang's document which had the greatest treasure light, at nearly two meters tall.
924
925"I am most fond of growing grass, I deliberately migrated a small swarm of starlight fireflies for the production of star fragment grass. If you follow my instructions, you will definitely not suffer losses." Fairy Yao Guang conveyed with her divine sense.
926
927Fang Yuan contemplated.
928
929Originally he had already forgotten about it, after all in his previous life, he had had no use for and had never use the stargate Gu.
930
931Now, through the successive reminders from Lang Ya land spirit, connecting heaven Gu, and Starlord Wan Xiang, his brain gradually began to recall more distinct memories.
932
933In his memories,once stargate Gu came into the limelight, everything related to starlight firefly Gu became secret, not a single person wanted to sell information.
934
935"Now that Lang Ya land spirit had obtained stargate Gu's recipe, perhaps it might refine the stargate Gu, then put it in treasure yellow heaven for sale. Once the stargate Gu is put up for sale in treasure yellow heaven, getting more of such secret information will not be easy."
936
937Thinking of that, Fang Yuan made his decision, he let little Hu Immortal transmit his thoughts: "I will buy from all three of you, we'll deal using immortal essence stones."
938
939The purchasing power of immortal essence stones was very high.
940
941One piece of immortal essence stone, could purchase all three documents, with a quarter remaining.
942
943Fang Yuan opened the three documents, and saw many things written on them—
944
945"Star fragment grass can only be planted in the sky, it grows on clouds. Therefore, it is a good idea to use high quality cloud soil…"
946
947"Star fragment grass is fond of yin energy, but loathes yang energy, therefore excessive sunlight can kill the star fragment grass. However, it cannot be completely derived of light, the amount it requires is about…"
948
949"If starlight fireflies live in the star fragment grass, it will aid in spreading the seeds, and possibly increase the area that the grass can grow in as well as its quality…"
950
951Among the three documents: Di Yuan was simple and brief, Starlord Wan Xiang had innovative ideas, and Fairy Yao Guang was verbose and detailed. Fang Yuan used their knowledge to make up for his shortcomings, and quickly memorized everything. In an instant, he became an expert in cultivating star fragment grass.
952
953He laughed internally: "With this, I will become the largest seller of starlight fireflies in the future. When the stargate Gu is becomes popular, I will make a fortune!"
954
955"It's time to buy liquor." Fang Yuan did not forget the need to purchase top quality wine.
956
957He had already collected three kinds of top quality wines, this was the last one left.
958
959Within treasure yellow heaven, naturally, top quality wine was sold. It was primarily used to refine Gu by Gu Immortals, but it was also an excellent beverage for enjoying life.
960
961But when Fang Yuan wanted to purchase his wine, the whole of treasure yellow heaven erupted, as countless divine senses were stirred up. 
962
963"Immortal Gu, someone is selling Immortal Gu!" Little Hu Immortal land spirit cried out.
964
965The mirror flashed, and the image of an Immortal Gu appeared.
966
967"Divine travel Gu!" Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk.
968
969The immortal Gu that was being sold was exactly the one he needed, divine travel Gu. Someone was one step ahead of him and had already grabbed possession of the divine travel Gu.
970
971"Sigh, after all is said and done, I was late by one step." Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
972
973He wanted to refine second aperture Gu, thus he needed divine travel Gu. But in three kings blessed land, due to the circumstances, he refined divine travel Gu into fixed immortal travel Gu.
974
975According to the records in <<The Legends of Ren Zu>>, consuming four top quality wines was the criteria to obtain divine travel Gu. Fang Yuan had been collecting wine for this purpose, but now, someone was a step ahead of him.
976
977"Without divine travel Gu, the second aperture Gu would be stuck at the last step, I won't be able to complete it. Thankfully, there is still a few decades of its lifespan."
978
979"All in all, it was because I was too high profile on San Cha mountain when I refined the Gu, causing everyone to know about it. It is not strange that someone snatched it from me."
980
981Fang Yuan shrugged, he had predicted this long ago.
982
983When he used divine travel Gu to refine fixed immortal travel Gu, it was seen by a lot of Gu Masters. This definitely caused a great commotion, the Gu Immortals in southern border were not idiots, how could they not act?
984
985But earlier, Fang Yuan was banking on the competition between Gu Immortals, that they would restrict each other and delay their progress, thus he was working hard to collect the wines.
986
987In life, there were always a few things that one had to work hard for despite a low chance of success so that they would not have regrets. If they did not even work for it, then it would be absolutely hopeless.
988
989"Regarding matters in this world, most do not go according to one's wishes, I am used to that. But since this divine travel Gu was put up for transaction here, I have to take a look, there might still be a chance."
990
991Fang Yuan took it in his stride, he did not worry about losses or boast over gains, his mind was always peaceful and calm.
992
993Since treasure yellow heaven was the greatest transaction market among Gu Immortals, there were very rare instances where Immortal Gu were sold.
994
995These transactions were mostly using Immortal Gu to trade for Immortal Gu. But the Gu Immortal who sold the divine travel Gu, Old Man Yan Shi, had a rather peculiar transaction request.
996
997"I want to use this divine travel Gu to exchange for the second aperture Gu's recipe."
998
999The information in this request was too stunning, it created a lot of commotion. In treasure yellow heaven, the divine senses of all sorts of Gu Immortals were interacting with each other, turning the scene into chaos.
1000
1001"Divine travel Gu! To think that we will get to see this legendary Gu worm today."
1002
1003"Although it is an Immortal Gu, the divine travel Gu's ability is way too random. Back then, even Ren Zu's son got into trouble using it, it will be even more dangerous for us tiny Gu Immortals."
1004
1005"But divine travel Gu is still an Immortal Gu, keeping it with you, when you are forced into a dead end, you can use it to gamble at the moment of despair."
1006
1007"Compared to the divine travel Gu, I am more interested in the second aperture Gu's recipe!"
1008
1009"That's right, I've heard of the second aperture Gu long ago, but to think the recipe really exists?"
1010
1011"A second aperture! Hehe, mortals might not understand the full value of this, but to us Gu Immortals, who would not be moved?"
1012
1013　　...
1014
1015Fang Yuan had already stood up, gazing at the connecting heaven Gu in mid air.
1016
1017He had the second aperture Gu's recipe, he just needed a thought to exchange for this Gu.
1018
1019But!
1020
1021"This Old Man Yan Shi who is selling the divine travel Gu is coming for me. He requested for the second aperture Gu's recipe… and his timing in selling this Gu was neither early nor late, he picked the exact moment when I was browsing through… impressive! This Gu Immortal is mostly likely on the immemorial wisdom path, he is adept at predictions and deductions. The fact that I had used connecting heaven Gu and was trading in treasure yellow heaven was already foreseen by him!"
1022
1023Wisdom path was a very mysterious path among Gu Masters. It had been passed down since the immemorial era, but the numbers were always very small.
1024
1025The creator of the wisdom path was Star Constellation Immortal Venerable, the lord of the second generation heavenly court. She lived for nineteen thousand years, and had the second longest lifespan among the rank nine Gu Immortals.
1026
1027Before she died, she deduced from the heavenly secret, and obtained the information of all that happened three million years after her death. She found out that after her death, the heavenly court would be without a lord for a long time, causing a long period of turmoil as three Demon Venerables appear.
1028
1029She made three arrangements that dealt with each of the three Demon Venerables respectively. Next, she instructed her descendants to follow what she said to ensure that the heavenly court was peaceful for three hundred years.
1030
1031After she died, there was a huge turmoil indeed as the era shifted, as during three great generations, three Demon Venerables appeared one after another.
1032
1033The three Demon Venerables were invincible during their times, attacking the heavenly court but were obstructed by Star Constellation Immortal Venerable's plans, failing and causing the heavenly court to stay intact.
1034
1035"Wisdom path Gu Immortal… Old Man Yan Shi…" Fang Yuan squinted his eyes, muttering. It was not a good thing to be targeted by a wisdom path Gu immortal.
1036
1037Wisdom path Gu Immortals knew about the heavenly secret and were most skilled at making arrangements ahead of time and making predictions about the future. Often, they could scheme against people without them knowing, causing others to fall into traps unknowingly.
1038
1039"I gathered too much attention in southern border, and ended up attracting a wisdom path Gu Immortal. Hehehe, in this life I was courageous and made great progress, charging through a dangerous cliff, I went too fast and with just my mortal body, I gained the attention of a Gu Immortal!"
1040
1041Such a scenario was like an ant attracting the attention of an elephant.
1042
1043At once, Fang Yuan could almost see a pair of wise and scheming eyes piercing through the connecting heaven Gu to observe himself.
1044
1045The air was filled with formless pressure.
1046
1047But Fang Yuan's state of mind was no longer like before, he laughed with his head up high, dispelling the pressure in his heart.
1048
1049"Good, the schemes of a wisdom path Gu Immortal makes this much more interesting. Hmph, just a mere divine travel Gu, just a mere second aperture Gu, how can that entice me?"
1050
1051His five hundred years of experience nurtured a keen instinct that was sensitive to danger.
1052
1053Fang Yuan had a vague feeling, this divine travel Gu was likely bait that Old Man Yan Shi was using to attract him.
1054
1055"Although an Immortal Gu is good, my goal is eternal life, this so-called Immortal Gu is merely a tool in my cultivation journey."
1056
1057　　...
1058
1059At the same time, in southern border, Sheng Si blessed land.
1060
1061An old man, wearing a black robe, gave off the eerie aura of a rank seven Gu Immortal as he sat on the cushion silently.
1062
1063His face was wrinkled, his eyes were dark without any white parts in them.
1064
1065He stared at the connecting heaven Gu in the sky, feeling the divine senses moving about inside treasure yellow heaven. He was expressionless and motionless.
1066
1067It was Old Man Yan Shi!
1068
1069Before the old man was the kneeling killer ghost doctor Chou Jiu.
1070
1071He looked at connecting heaven Gu for a long time, before showing disappointment: "Supreme Master, it seems that Fang Yuan did not take the bait."
1072
1073Old Man Yan Shi smiled, not showing any annoyance: "This tiny fish is interesting, he is able to let go so easily, as a mere mortal, his disposition surpasses a large number of Gu Immortals. But he was too daring, he turned you into his slave and messed with us Shadow Sect. He is simply courting death."
1074
1075Chou Jiu quickly bowed: "All thanks to Supreme Master's return, otherwise, I would've suffered the fate of being a slave for life!"
1076
1077"Mm…" Old Man Yan Shi raised his head: "Little disciple, I have already altered the slavery Gu on you. I calculated that Fang Yuan would join the righteous demonic battle of Yi Tian mountain, at that time you can be a spy by his side, and wait for a chance to strike."
1078
1079"Yes, Supreme Master!"
1080
1081"Mm, go down and call your junior sister Bai Ning Bing."
1082
1083"Yes, this disciple takes his leave."

1090
1091An Immortal Gu was hovering in the air, emitting quiet and exquisite light.
1092
1093A lemon colored halo completely covered Bai Ning Bing's body and sank into her aperture.
1094
1095Yellow-green light colored vines had already creeped around her aperture walls, densely attached to the walls.
1096
1097After a moment, Old Man Yan Shi took a deep breath and recalled the Immortal Gu back to his aperture: "Alright, I have used everlasting Gu's ability on your aperture; you will be fine for the next three months. According to your cultivation speed, you must come here after three months to reinforce your aperture again."
1098
1099It has already been a long time since the San Cha mountain battle. Bai Ning Bing's aptitude had already recovered to a hundred percent, restoring one of the ten extreme aptitudes - Northern Dark Ice Soul physique.
1100
1101A hundred percent primeval essence emitted an extremely great pressure on her aperture. If not for Old Man Yan Shi using everlasting Gu to reinforce her aperture, Bai Ning Bing would not have survived till now.
1102
1103Although Old Man Yan Shi was her life saving benefactor, Bai Ning Bing did not feel any gratitude, instead she stood upright with an ice cold demeanour.
1104
1105After Old Man Yan Shi took away the Immortal Gu, she opened her blue eyes, her gaze cold and her expression indifferent.
1106
1107She was no more the novice, greenhorn kid from back then.
1108
1109By travelling alongside Fang Yuan, she had learned many things.
1110
1111Old Man Yan Shi had taken the initiative to look for her after knowing about her through Chou Jiu, clearly to make use of her. Her joining Shadow Sect was also no more than a transaction.
1112
1113Old Man Yan Shi smiled warmly: "Bai Ning Bing, as long as you sincerely pledge allegiance to Shadow Sect, and make a new sea oath, I will turn you back to a male."
1114
1115"Hmph, no need. You are helping me to suppress my aperture, so I am joining Shadow Sect temporarily to help you deal with Fang Yuan and obtain fixed immortal travel Gu from him; this is nothing more than a fair transaction. As for my male body, I will personally retrieve it, only then can it be spectacular. How could I, Bai Ning Bing, do something like relying on others?"
1116
1117Bai Ning Bing then turned around and left.
1118
1119Only when she exited the secret room, did Bai Ning Bing's ice cold expression loosen up, her brows furrowed and her gaze turned cold.
1120
1121She did not like this rank seven wisdom path Gu Immortal Old Man Yan Shi; she always felt he had a hidden motive.
1122
1123Although the other was a Gu Immortal, Bai Ning Bing had never feared death. As a person who was not afraid of death, why would she be afraid of Gu Immortals?
1124
1125However, they had the same objective, both f them wanted to deal with Fang Yuan, so Bai Ning Bing agreed to this transaction and joined Shadow Sect temporarily.
1126
1127"Fang Yuan…"
1128
1129When she thought of him, Bai Ning Bing could not help thinking back to the scene at three kings blessed land.
1130
1131Under countless people's eyes, Fang Yuan flew towards heaven and with a mortal body, refined an Immortal Gu!
1132
1133Shortly after, three kings blessed land collapsed and everyone fell into chaos as they hurried to leave San Cha mountain. Winds of assimilation blew and wiped out the whole San Cha mountain until it was a barren land.
1134
1135Little beast king's name was talked by countless people and soon spread to the whole southern border crazily. Fang Yuan disappeared, and Gu Immortals gave orders to all their forces to look for him.
1136
1137Bai Ning Bing who had travelled together with him, naturally became a target all great forces chased after. Whether it was righteous path or demonic path, they all wanted to get her.
1138
1139If not for Wei Yang's sense of brotherhood and thus intentionally let go of Bai Ning Bing, as well as her meeting Chou Jiu while gravely injured, Bai Ning Bing would have been a captive somewhere already.
1140
1141After Chou Jiu healed her injuries, he made a proposal to her to join Shadow Sect and deal with Fang Yuan together.
1142
1143After Bai Ning Bing's scheme against Fang Yuan failed, she was even confident of her guess that Fang Yuan had a prediction Gu. And when she heard behind Chou Jiu was a similar predictive wisdom path Gu Immortal, she could not help but be moved.
1144
1145Although she did not fear death, she was truly not resigned to losing her life like that and letting Fang Yuan live; it would be her greatest defeat, and was too lackluster.
1146
1147Thus, she agreed to Chou Jiu's request and temporarily joined Shadow Sect, making an oath in front of the Immortal Gu, Sea Oath Gu, with Old Man Yan Shi and Chou Jiu: She was free to leave and regain her freedom once they killed Fang Yuan. At the same time, Shadow Sect cannot directly or indirectly make a move against her.
1148
1149When Bai Ning Bing's receding figure disappeared, Old Man Yan Shi's expression slowly turned dark.
1150
1151Bai Ning Bing had a demonic nature, causing even this wisdom path Gu Immortal Old Man Yan Shi to find it hard to control her.
1152
1153"This kid has no care for laws and morality, and is only joining hands with me because of the situation. She is absolutely not someone who will stay under others for long." Old Man Yan Shi's gaze was extremely profound.
1154
1155"But it is not important. I have planned for so many years in my quest for immortality, why would I be afraid of the tiny ripples that this little fish can create? Hmph!"
1156
1157Old Man Yan Shi coldly snorted and turned his gaze to connecting heaven Gu's screen.
1158
1159Right at this time, a divine sense was transmitted to him —"I have second aperture Gu's recipe here, I want to exchange with your divine travel Gu."
1160
1161The owner of the divine sense called himself Lang Ya old immortal.
1162
1163"Hehehehe…" Old Man Yan Shi laughed heartily.
1164
1165The fish has taken the bait!
1166
1167Who said this bait could only lure Fang Yuan? Fang Yuan was only a small fish, Lang Ya land spirit was the true big fish.
1168
1169"Lang Ya blessed land is rumored to have stored countless recipes. It has dropped from a grotto-heaven to a blessed land, and in the present age, it can be said to be the number one blessed land! Even more importantly, this blessed land has a lot of Immortal Gu as well. Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus is at the top, I must obtain it!"
1170
1171Old Man Yan Shi's eyes flickered with a burning light filled with avarice.
1172
1173He had been scheming since a long, long time ago.
1174
1175In actual fact, the second aperture Gu recipe that Lang Ya blessed land had was intentionally due to his planning.
1176
1177With Lang Ya land spirit's love for collecting recipes and refining Gu, he would definitely want to refine second aperture Gu!
1178
1179"Now I have to wait for a good opportunity!" Old Man Yan Shi sneered at the side while sending out his divine sense to accept Lang Ya land spirit's offer and began their transaction at Treasure Yellow Heaven.
1180
1181Divine travel Gu came out from the mirror, even if the connecting heaven Gu's ability had been amplified by many other Gu, it still caused the connecting heaven Gu to be filled with cracks, and after several breaths, completely collapsed.
1182
1183Lang Ya land spirit did not care about this connecting heaven Gu, there were still many connecting heaven Gu left in the blessed land.
1184
1185The land spirit looked at divine travel Gu with a burning gaze and laughed heartily: "I had already wanted to refine second aperture Gu, haha, this is really too good!"
1186
1187He took out another connecting heaven Gu on the spot and connected to treasure yellow heaven, looking for Gu refinement materials without restraint.
1188
1189"Hehehe, an easy pray!" Old Man Yan Shi laughed heartily as he looked at this scene through connecting heaven Gu.
1190
1191A heavyweight transaction relating to Immortal Gu naturally would be noticed by many Gu Immortals.
1192
1193Fang Yuan was also paying attention.
1194
1195"Who bought the divine travel Gu?" Fang Yuan's gaze flashed and immediately asked Little Hu Immortal.
1196
1197"It is Lang Ya old immortal." Little Hu Immortal replied with clear voice.
1198
1199"Lang Ya land spirit… Just like what I expected." Fang Yuan slightly narrowed his eyes before concentrating on connecting heaven Gu again.
1200
1201After a moment, he discovered Lang Ya land spirit wantonly buying Gu refinement materials; his eyes flashed with rays of cold light.
1202
1203"Hmph, so many Gu Immortals are dumping precious Gu refinement materials to Lang Ya land spirit. This is clearly a trap. The land spirits have wisdom, but their obsessions are much deeper and can be easily exploited by Gu Immortals. Wait a second…"
1204
1205Fang Yuan's thoughts suddenly shook.
1206
1207The immortals selling the Gu refinement materials were metal path Gu Immortal Tie Jia Zi, soul path Gu Immortal Wang Gan Yang, wood path Gu Immortal Fairy Tan Xiang, enslavement path Gu Immortal Great Immortal Xue Xiong… These names were familiar.
1208
1209*'Weren't they the Gu Immortals who participated in the second wave of attacks against Lang Ya blessed land?'*
1210
1211For a moment, Fang Yuan's eyes flickered with sharp light, he became aware of an enormous scheme that had not been recorded in the history.
1212
1213"So it was like this! In my past life, Lang Ya blessed land endured six waves of attack before finally collapsing in the seventh wave. So there were manipulators behind the scene, they were hatching a sinister plot."
1214
1215Before, Fang Yuan was only an audience, but now that he was involved, he discovered this truth.
1216
1217"This Old Man Yan Shi's purpose in selling divine travel Gu is not just to aim at me, his bigger target is Lang Ya blessed land. Out of the seven waves of attack, how many did he organize?"
1218
1219"If he is southern border's Gu Immortal, then why would these northern plains Gu Immortals listen to his arrangements? Is he indirectly making use of them or did he give them a direct order?"
1220
1221No doubt, the wisdom path Gu Immortal Old Man Yan Shi had organized a group of immortals; just this information created a formless pressure.
1222
1223Fang Yuan did not know right now that this organization was the Shadow Sect he had heard before!
1224
1225But this did not hinder him from guessing the strength and the mystery of this organization.
1226
1227An organization that spanned across southern border and northern plains, how big would it be? But Fang Yuan had never heard of such an organization, even in the five hundred years of his past life. How mysterious was this organization?
1228
1229"Of course, all these speculations are based on the foundation that Old Man Yan Shi is a Gu Immortal of Southern Border. Maybe it is all just a coincidence?"
1230
1231"Let me think again, did Old Man Yan Shi plan the first wave of attack? As for the next waves of attack, did he have a hand in them? As for the seventh wave, it was Heavenly Court's move, that was absolutely not something Old Man Yan Shi could control."
1232
1233Fang Yuan was certain of this.
1234
1235Heavenly Court was high above others, it originated from central continent and had a formidable background, it was not something an immortal of Southern Border could interfere in.
1236
1237Among the five great regions, since ancient times till now, the greatest Gu Immortal organization was only the Heavenly Court.
1238
1239Heavenly Court's might made people feel suffocation. Only rank eight and rank nine Gu Immortals could establish their presence there.
1240
1241This point could be judged from the conclusion.
1242
1243After the Heavenly Court made their move, they left after taking away all the recipes in Lang Ya blessed land.
1244
1245"Where was Old Man Yan Shi at that time in my previous life?"
1246
1247Old Man Yan Shi was a mysterious character who had hidden in the depths of the history! Behind him was a mysterious organization that had influence in both northern plains and southern border, two great regions.
1248
1249"Wisdom path Gu Immortal, a mysterious organization, Heavenly Court… The path to immortality is truly fraught with danger at every step. When I burst through these obstacles, how great would I feel?"
1250
1251The higher the difficulty and stronger the enemies, the more fighting spirit Fang Yuan would have.
1252
1253The path he was walking on was destined to be a lonely one from the start, destined to make an enemy of the world. Heavenly Court and the mysterious organization were like two giant beasts blocking this path. At the same time, this dark path was filled with thorns, traps and schemes.
1254
1255This was an incomparably difficult path.
1256
1257And no one had been able to reach the end since ancient times.
1258
1259Fang Yuan, however, was fighting by himself, marching by himself and waging war by himself.
1260
1261The source of all his motivation was the simplest, most insatiable, most sneered at and most incomprehensible…
1262
1263Dream.
1264
1265A seemingly unrealistic dream about eternal life.
1266
1267Whether he could succeed or not, Fang Yuan had never considered it.
1268
1269He only knew that even if he failed and died, he would have no regrets.
1270
1271Today, through a transaction, he discovered the whirlpool that had been hidden in the shadows. Then he looked at the prospects of his own path which was filled with incomparable darkness, incomparable danger and dead ends at almost every step.
1272
1273"Since there is no path to walk on, I shall carve out my own path."
1274
1275Fang Yuan smiled, his gaze containing a profound light and his disordered thoughts all tidied up as he once again concentrated on connecting heaven Gu.
1276
1277It was time to buy relic Gu.
