"Then how do we deal? What do you people need?" Fang Yuan asked with an amicable expression.
"Fang Yuan, we know you have a lot of immortal materials. The immortal materials picked up in Earth Trench have a problem, they are filled with heaven's will. We do not want these. But the huge amount of immortal materials from Falling Heavenly River can be traded. This is our list, take a look." Sixth Hair took out an information path mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan received it and inspected it before his consciousness entered the Gu, he nodded as he browsed.
A moment later, Fang Yuan said to Sixth Hair: "I have most of these immortal materials, but as a member of Lang Ya Sect, can't you get these from Lang Ya Sect's inventory?"
Sixth Hair smiled bitterly: "Times are different, the new Lang Ya land spirit is not the same as previously, in Lang Ya Sect, sect contribution points are everything. If I want to get items from the inventory, I will need to use my sect contribution points. But my sect contribution points have not reached the number that Lord Ying Wu Xie needs."
"You are right." Fang Yuan nodded before asking: "I can give you these immortal materials, but how will these immortal materials reach Ying Wu Xie? Treasure yellow heaven is currently closed."
Ying Wu Xie had been selling Immortal Gu, he made a huge commotion, Fang Yuan knew about it.
Sixth Hair continued speaking: "It is more troublesome without treasure yellow heaven, but there is a way to send these to Lord Ying Wu Xie. Zombie Alliance was a subsidiary of Shadow Sect, before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, because Old Ancestor Xue Hu had stolen immortal zombie bodies, Zombie Alliance had ordered the branches to create a super Gu formation to connect between the five regions. Even if someone attacks a branch, we can transport these immortal zombie bodies to other regions using the super Gu formation."
"I thought this was just an excuse to plot against the immortal zombies, to think it was real?" Fang Yuan was slightly surprised.
Sixth Hair smiled bitterly: "This is true. Sacrificing Zombie Alliance to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu was not part of Shadow Sect's original plan. During the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, we had no choice and did it. There were more benefits in keeping Zombie Alliance, if possible, we would not have sacrificed them."
Fang Yuan nodded.
He thought about the five hundred years of his previous life. During that time, Zombie Alliance was still around in the five regions, even until the five regions chaotic war, and just before Fang Yuan's rebirth, it still played a significant role in the affairs of the world.
But it was different now.
Zombie Alliance in all five regions was now an empty shell, most of the immortal zombies were used as immortal materials and were refined in the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation.
Up until this point, the five regions were still in a commotion because of it.
After all, when Zombie Alliance was around, it controlled many resources.
These resources were now ownerless, many Gu Immortal experts and super forces were fighting for them, there were bloody scenes.
"It seems that in the five hundred years of my previous life, Shadow Sect indeed succeeded. Zombie Alliance's continued existence proves this point. Heavenly Court attacked Lang Ya blessed land, resulting in Feng Jiu Ge's death inside Lang Ya blessed land, this event is very suspicious. Shadow Sect had spies inside Heavenly Court, maybe Spectral Soul had revived and controlled Heavenly Court, turning it into his own force."
Fang Yuan thought a little and felt that many things in his memories could have likely had a deeper story behind them.
"This world's secrets are too deep. Legendary people have appeared continuously. Countless experts contest and plot against each other, they are like the countless stars shining in the sky. Even though I was considered an expert, compared to these people, I am not outstanding. Hehe... precisely because of this, it is more interesting, isn't it? Hahaha."
Fang Yuan thought about this and felt increasingly joyful.
On the surface, his lips curled up as he smiled lightly.
Sixth Hair could not understand it, he thought: "Why is he smiling? And why do I have a bad feeling..."
Fang Yuan breathed in deeply, he looked at Sixth Hair with a shining gaze, his smile became more apparent: "Then, what can I get in exchange for my immortal materials?"
"Immortal Gu." Sixth Hair answered, having a calm expression.
"Interesting, very interesting." Fang Yuan clapped and smiled.
What Immortal Gu could Ying Wu Xie sell? It was obviously Fang Yuan's own Immortal Gu.
Selling Fang Yuan's Immortal Gu back to himself, Ying Wu Xie's plan was really amazing.
But even Fang Yuan himself felt that Ying Wu Xie's idea was quite good.
In this world, who would want these Immortal Gu more than Fang Yuan? Even if there were such people, they would be few in number.
And for other Gu Immortals, they were not used to these Immortal Gu, they needed to get familiar with them. But Fang Yuan was very familiar with them, he could use them well. These Immortal Gu had greater value to Fang Yuan than to others.
Furthermore, even if Immortal Gu were sold, they needed suitable Gu Immortals. For example, a strength path Immortal Gu would not be well utilized by Gu Immortals of other paths. Because of differences in paths, and conflict in dao marks, the effect would be reduced, it was not suitable for them. Unless they were using it as a supplementary Gu worm for an immortal killer move, but such situations were rare.
One could say, Fang Yuan was the best buyer. Not only did he have use for these Immortal Gu, most importantly — he could afford them!
As for how to send the Immortal Gu, Zombie Alliance's super Gu formation was likely to be used.
Fang Yuan smiled: "How many of my Immortal Gu are left? Not only do I want to buy them, I also want Hei Lou Lan's self strength Immortal Gu, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Man as Before and Landscape as Before. I will include these three Immortal Gu into my request."
Sixth Hair considered it for a while before nodding: "I can make the decision on this matter and agree to it."
Ying Wu Xie had control over Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Hei Lou Lan, he could make them hand over their Immortal Gu. And the most important thing now was to escape from danger and get away. Other matters could be put aside.
Fang Yuan said again: "We will trade at the same time, bring your Immortal Gu, I will pay the immortal materials."
At this time, Sixth Hair showed a difficult expression: "As a matter of fact, it will take some time for you to see the Immortal Gu. You are aware of the situation in the five regions. All the Zombie Alliance branches are being targeted, if Northern Plains' Dark Flow Giant City did not sink into Earth Trench, it would have been ransacked already. The super Gu formation is placed in Dark Flow Giant City, it will take some time for me to get the Immortal Gu. But before this, I hope that you can provide some immortal materials first. Because these immortal materials are going to be used for Gu refinement, the faster we refine, the better. Over on Lord Ying Wu Xie's end, we do not know how long they can last."
Fang Yuan heard this and sneered internally: "Sixth Hair is speaking both truth and lies at once, earlier, he said Ying Wu Xie is in grave danger, now he is indicating that Ying Wu Xie can last for some time."
On the surface, Fang Yuan's expression turned stiff, he rejected: "No, impossible. If I pay immortal materials and you do not hand me the Immortal Gu, wouldn't I be a fool?"
"Don't worry about this. I have prepared an information path immortal killer move to restrict both sides, none of us can break it." Sixth Hair had a sincere expression.
Fang Yuan laughed, he waved his hand: "Don't talk to me about information path methods, I don't believe it! Since you can subdue Hei Lou Lan, you must have removed her information path alliance agreement, right? I do not cultivate information path, would I be so foolish as to make an information path agreement with you?"
"This..." Sixth Hair hesitated.
He understood Fang Yuan's thoughts, if it were him, he would not set an agreement with Shadow Sect either.
"How about this?" Sixth Hair quickly thought of a new idea: "I can use information to exchange for a portion of the immortal materials first, how about that? This information and these secrets have immense value to you. Fang Yuan, don't you want to know what the limitations of heaven's will are? Don't you want our Shadow Sect's precious experience in dealing with heaven's will? And information about otherworldly demons, even information about Lang Ya blessed land, don't you want them?"
Fang Yuan was deeply enticed.
Heaven's will!
After understanding that heaven's will was plotting against him, how could Fang Yuan ignore it? In this world, who else other than Shadow Sect had greater experience in dealing with heaven's will?
If not for Shadow Sect taking the initiative to transact, Fang Yuan would still be left in the dark for a long period of time.
As for the matter of otherworldly demons, Fang Yuan was very curious. Why did he transmigrate here? Were other otherworldly demons were there? Did they come from the same place as him? Why could otherworldly demons change the past?
And information about Lang Ya blessed land.
Lang Ya blessed land had existed for three hundred thousand years, what secrets were hidden inside? This was extremely important for Fang Yuan, who was getting Lang Ya land spirit's help, and also his goal of obtaining Lang Ya blessed land.
Undeniably, all this information was extremely valuable, they were very helpful to Fang Yuan.
At this moment, the room was silent.
Neither side was talking.
Fang Yuan was deep in thought.
Sixth Hair waited for Fang Yuan to agree, he was very confident that Fang Yuan would definitely say yes. The allure of this information was too high, after all.
Of course, if not for this situation, Sixth Hair would not have wanted Fang Yuan to know these secrets.
Fang Yuan spoke, but instead asked a question: "I don't understand something. Since there is a super Gu formation, why aren't Ying Wu Xie and the rest using the super Gu formation to escape directly?"
Sixth Hair explained honestly: "The super Gu formation can only transport immortal materials. Immortal zombie bodies are considered immortal materials, but they cannot include the immortal aperture. It is too hard to transport Gu Immortals across regions. There are some methods, but they are very rare. For example, Fixed Immortal Travel, but Immortal Gu are one of a kind. Stargate Gu is an exception, but it is too limited. And not everyone can enter immortal apertures"
Shadow Sect knew about stargate Gu. Fang Yuan had used it many times and even gave the Gu recipe to Lang Ya land spirit. It was not strange that Shadow Sect knew about it.
Be it Fixed Immortal Travel or stargate Gu, they had requirements towards the Gu Immortal being transported.
The Gu Immortal must have few dao marks in their body for transportation. Especially stargate Gu, it was only a mortal Gu, even though it used the power of black heaven, only rank six bottom tier Gu Immortals or those who had only gone through a few calamities could use it.
Of course, the things inside the Gu Immortal's immortal aperture were in another world, they were not considered in this.
Thus, back then, Fang Yuan used his dead aperture to contain rank nine wisdom Gu, he could transport it using stargate Gu.
Using rank six bottom tier Gu Immortals or immortal zombies as the container to use Fixed Immortal Travel or stargate Gu for cross-regional transportation?
This was very possible.
But it could not be used widely.
There was only one Fixed Immortal Travel in the world, and stargate Gu was in the hands of few people. Furthermore, rank eight Gu Immortals and high rank immortal materials or Immortal Gu have too many dao marks, they are a huge burden to the immortal aperture. Living immortal apertures could burst, while dead immortal apertures would break apart even more quickly, they could not go through this many times.
Precisely because of this, Fang Yuan placed the high rank immortal materials into Hu Immortal blessed land or Star Form blessed land, these blessed lands that were placed in the outside world were very stable.
Rank eight Gu Immortals have their own unique methods to travel across regions.
It was through white heaven and black heaven. Earlier, Heaven Overseeing Tower Lord had brought a group of people to Southern Border and thwarted Shadow Sect's plan, they went there through white heaven.
-x-X-x-
There had never been good methods to transport Gu Immortals across regions.
Because Gu Immortals had little need for this!
When Gu Master undergo immortal ascension, they would become Gu Immortals of their respective regions due to the heaven and earth qi. For example, they would be a Northern Plains Gu Immortal, or a Central Continent Gu Immortal.
Gu Immortals had a territorial mentality, Gu Immortals from other regions were usually ostracized. At the end of the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were pursued by Southern Border Gu Immortals, this point was showed clearly. In this aspect, Eastern Sea was more open.
The territorial mentality was not the key, most importantly, once in a while, Gu Immortals had to place their immortal apertures in the outside world to draw in heaven and earth qi and stabilize it. At this time, the heaven and earth qi needed was very specific. If a Northern Plains Gu Immortal placed their immortal aperture in Central Continent and took in Central Continent's heaven and earth qi, there would be huge problems.
The third reason was calamities and tribulations. Gu Immortals faced calamities and tribulations continuously, who would have the time to run around? What was the point of going to other regions? Unless they had important reasons, like clues to a huge inheritance, or maybe for investigation missions like Feng Jiu Ge.
There was one thing to note.
There was little demand for Gu Immortals to travel across regions, but Immortal Gu and immortal materials were not the same!
They had huge demand for them.
And these demands were mostly settled through treasure yellow heaven.
Due to all sorts of reasons, few people researched in regional transportation of Gu Immortals. In history, there were barely any results. Zombie Alliance's super Gu formation was merely used to transport immortal materials.
Who would waste their time and effort to research on something useless?
Gu Immortals had huge pressure towards survival! Even though they were 'immortals', they could not live freely and peacefully. Managing their immortal apertures, raising Immortal Gu, and dealing with tribulations, these were enough for all Gu Immortals to slog their lives out.
Thus, since long ago, cross-regional transportation methods for Gu Immortals were very primitive, they were developed slowly. As a result, when the grand ten great ancient sects of Central Continent dispatched a team of Gu Immortals to go Northern Plains, they barged through two regional walls.
In four to five hundred years, there would no longer be a need to research on this. Because the five regional walls would start to disappear, the five regions will merge into one!
This was something for the future, forget about it for now.
In the hall, Fang Yuan let out a hearty laugh.
He had probed for so long, he finally had a clear understanding of this transaction.
"Fang Yuan, why are you laughing?" Sixth Hair's ominous feeling was growing.
"Because I am happy. Even though the super Gu formation can only transport immortal materials, that is enough! Forget about information and whatnot. My first condition is my original body. Hand it to me." Fang Yuan spoke quickly.
Sixth Hair's expression changed.
He knew about wisdom Gu.
If Fang Yuan obtained his body, together with his soul, he could use the light of wisdom, and borrow the might of wisdom Gu once again.
What did that imply?
He would be like a tiger with wings, he would soar to the sky!
In the past, Fang Yuan had a flaw, he did not have lifespan Gu to feed wisdom Gu. But now, Lang Ya land spirit had a good number of lifespan Gu to feed it.
Fang Yuan knew about heaven's will already, if he had wisdom Gu's help, how could he be stopped? He would be like an eagle in the sky, or a flood dragon roaming the seas. Together with the sovereign immortal aperture...
"My goodness!" Sixth Hair cried out in his thoughts, these few elements alone were shocking, they were unprecedented! If they were combined together, he would gain unimaginable strength!
How would anyone else ever compete with him again?!
"That will not work." Sixth Hair shook his head: "Without a body, how can Lord Ying Wu Xie escape from his predicament?"
"I have bodies." Fang Yuan laughed: "I have many strength path immortal zombie bodies! We can trade one for one. You will not suffer a loss for sure, these immortal zombie bodies have more dao marks than my original body, you are definitely going to profit."
"Profit my ass!" Sixth Hair scolded Fang Yuan's shamelessness internally, his expression became ugly, he snickered at Fang Yuan: "Let's not beat about the bush, why would I not know your intentions?"
"Oh... so you know about wisdom Gu." Fang Yuan rubbed his chin.
"Immortal Gu and information can be sold, but body... no way!" Sixth Hair rejected with a firm reply.
But Fang Yuan's mood changed even more quickly: "Then there's nothing to say! Goodbye, see you!"
Fang Yuan stood up and waved his hand, chasing Sixth Hair away.
"..." Sixth Hair was stunned!
He was dazed in place, unmoving.
Seeing him like this, Fang Yuan snickered internally, with a flourish of his sleeves, he took his leave.
Sixth Hair jolted to awareness, he said: "Fang Yuan, wait!"
"You agreed?" Fang Yuan did not turn around, he only turned his head.
"Body cannot be sold, the rest can be negotiated." Sixth Hair insisted.
Fang Yuan snorted, walking ahead and through the door, leaving Sixth Hair's vision.
Sixth Hair quickly chased him: "We have to be willing parties in a transaction! Fang Yuan, why must you make it difficult for us, if we encounter trouble, you will soon follow."
Fang Yuan stopped moving, but he did not turn around even now, he left the back of his head facing Sixth Hair, it was very rude.
Sixth Hair heard Fang Yuan's words: "You are right. But so what if I follow? At most, I will die."
Sixth Hair walked several steps and chased after Fang Yuan, urging: "Fang Yuan, why the need to say these things? Who would believe such lies? Will you be willing to die? With Shadow Sect around, how many enemies are we drawing away from you? Without us, how long can you last? You think you can deal with heaven's will? Even my main body failed after a hundred thousand years of planning! With a common enemy ahead of us, why are you like this?"
"Noisy!" A sword wave appeared around Fang Yuan.
Rank seven Immortal Gu Wave Sword!
Sixth Hair was forced to retreat, he quickly said: "Careful, be careful! Don't use Immortal Gu, it will ruin my arrangements. If Lang Ya land spirit finds out, we will both face the consequences."
Fang Yuan snickered, he walked ahead as he said: "The body is my first condition, if this cannot be fulfilled, forget the rest! You have three days, go and have a good discussion with your Lord Ying Wu Xie."
Sixth Hair stomped his feet: "Three days?! Fang Yuan, you know that Lord Ying Wu Xie is facing great danger, we have to fight for time."
Fang Yuan walked away as his voice drifted over: "It is great that you realize this. Quickly agree to it, after the deal, you can use the immortal materials to refine Gu, and last an even longer time, right?"
Sixth Hair had a ruthless expression, he gritted his teeth as he pointed at Fang Yuan, killing intent surged: "Fang Yuan, don't go overboard!"
"So what if I do? I will not be the first to die. I can live well inside Lang Ya blessed land for some time. But you guys? Without Ying Wu Xie, Spectral Soul's main body will remain trapped in the giant dream realm, hehe, the great Spectral Soul Demon Venerable, he is going to die before me. Hahaha!" Fang Yuan laughed, he walked through the door and vanished from Sixth Hair's vision completely.
Sixth Hair stared with bloodshot eyes.
Fang Yuan's shameless and thuggish attitude dealt a huge blow to him!
In less than half a day, Sixth Hair went to Fang Yuan again.
"Lord Ying Wu Xie agreed." Sixth Hair stared at Fang Yuan, he wanted nothing more than to tear him to shreds.
A sharp light flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes.
Sixth Hair agreed so quickly, on Ying Wu Xie's end, the situation must really be terrible!
This was both good and bad.
Fang Yuan wanted to gain the most benefits from this trade, but he also wanted Ying Wu Xie to draw away the enemies for him. It was most beneficial to Fang Yuan for Heavenly Court and Shadow Sect's remnant forces to fight.
"We will trade the immortal zombie bodies first, one for one, before we continue with the others." Fang Yuan said, adding: "If I find out that you tampered with the body, don't blame me for what I will do. You know I am a person who has been reborn, I can use some future methods..."
"Impossible! We will do the transactions all at once!" Sixth Hair was not easy to fool.
But Fang Yuan was a tougher nut to crack.
A little later, Sixth Hair lost, he raised three fingers, gritting his teeth: "Fine, we will first trade the immortal zombie bodies. But there are only two deals after that. We will conclude this trade in three sessions!"
Three days later in Lang Ya blessed land, the two made their transaction.
"Okay, next will be Immortal Gu. I want all of my Immortal Gu, along with Self Strength, Man as Before, and Landscape as Before." Fang Yuan said.
Sixth Hair had a curious expression: "So many Immortal Gu, do you have enough immortal materials?"
Fang Yuan laughed: "Of course."
A few minutes later.
"This is what you mean by 'of course'? You casually changed the quantity to be traded by yourself?! These immortal materials are not enough to buy even thirty percent of the Immortal Gu!!" Sixth Hair screamed furiously.
"We can continue to negotiate the deal. What do you mean by changing it myself? I did not casually do it, I am very sincere!" Fang Yuan smiled lightly.
"Your mother is sincere!" Sixth Hair cursed.
Fang Yuan's expression stiffened: "This means you do not want to deal?" Saying this, his sleeves billowed as he turned around.
Sixth Hair was beyond furious: "Threatening to leave? The same trick again?!"
"I don't care, I am not the first to die anyway." Fang Yuan shrugged, latching on Sixth Hair's weakness.
Sixth Hair's expression froze, he felt like he had fallen into an icy river.
He felt really foolish, why did he expose his own weakness?
But, with Fang Yuan's shrewdness, even if he said nothing, he would sense it.
The second transaction was a long tug-of-war.
Fang Yuan's price was way too low, Shadow Sect was not going to take it.
In a few days, they went through dozens of difficult negotiations, until both sides came to an agreement.
Fang Yuan relented a bit, but he still earned the most from this.
Sixth Hair had a downcast expression, his straight back had hunched already.
"Thankfully, there is only one last deal left..."
The third transaction.
"What?! We agreed on three transactions, why do you want to extend it to ten?!"
"Fang Yuan, you shameless bastard, you fiend with no bottom line!"
"Can't you see the big picture at all? Die, let's just all die together."
Sixth Hair screamed, his throat went sore, blood was flowing out of his nose due to anger.
But Fang Yuan only said one thing, reflecting all of these statements: "I am not the first to die anyway. Once Ying Wu Xie dies, Spectral Soul's main body is going to follow. After all, the dream realm is huge, the consumption of the soul is extremely rapid as well..."
"Extremely rapid as well..."
"Extremely rapid..."
"Extremely..."
Fang Yuan's voice was floating around in Sixth Hair's head.
Next, he fainted on the spot.
-x-X-x-
A dark and deep pool of soul water undulated with countless ripples.
Ying Wu Xie opened his eyes wide, the ghost fire in his eyes burning bright as he observed the surface of the soul water.
He was viewing a scene that outsiders would not be able to observe.
Sixth Hair's figure appeared in the soul water, he was half-kneeling on the ground and had an expression of remorse and guilt: "Lord, I made a huge mistake! When Fang Yuan was facing the tribulation, if I had not used..."
"I have already said that this matter is not your fault. Speaking of which, it is also because I used my trump card to increase my luck, which allowed Fang Yuan to take advantage of it." Ying Wu Xie's voice directly transmitted to Gu Immortal Sixth Hair's mind.
This was the method of communication between Sixth Hair and Ying Wu Xie, it was a soul path method but with the effect of information path, and was extremely powerful.
Both sides were in Central Continent and Northern Plains, separated by two regional walls, moreover there was Lang Ya blessed land as well. Not only were they able to communicate in real time, they were also able to evade Lang Ya land spirit's senses.
Right now, Ying Wu Xie no longer had Fang Yuan's appearance.
He had already changed to another strength path immortal zombie's body.
But this vessel, because it was too old, its immortal aperture had already broken apart and what Ying Wu Xie obtained was only the physical body. Unlike Fang Yuan's zombie body, which had a mortal aperture as well as an immortal aperture.
As such, it was very inconvenient for Ying Wu Xie to use Gu worms. Whether it be Immortal Gu or mortal Gu, they could only live in parts of his body like on his skin, hair, blood, bones, and so on, not only would this leak their aura and make it easier for enemies to inspect, it was also not safe. When the physical body gets struck by an attack, the Gu worms could also very well meet with a terrible fate.
Gu worms were very fragile.
Ying Wu Xie could be said to have suffered a huge loss from this transaction with Fang Yuan, but his expression was tranquil.
He instead encouraged Sixth Hair: "You did this task very well. You constantly expressed weakness to Fang Yuan during the whole transaction process, good job. Especially the fainting at the end... without your efforts, I wouldn't have obtained the immortal materials I needed."
Sixth Hair sighed: "I intentionally fainted to probe Fang Yuan, but unfortunately he did not do anything to me."
"Since he knows our background, he is naturally extremely cautious. Moreover, we have already done transactions multiple times now, both sides have gotten a handle on the other, he has to be wary against us reporting about him to Lang Ya land spirit." Ying Wu Xie replied.
He had been in an absolute plight just now, and had thought about every possible way, before finding there was no way left other than Fang Yuan.
Before transacting with Fang Yuan, he had already made sufficient mental preparations.
The immortal material list he gave to Fang Yuan had exaggerated contents with huge numbers, hiding the immortal materials he truly wanted within them.
In short, he had achieved his goal.
He was able to fight for a ray of hope in this desperate situation.
As long as he passed this hurdle, his future prospects would be extremely promising!
"Not mentioning the other Immortal Gu, but the main thing is that Fang Yuan not only obtained his physical body, he now has Spring Autumn Cicada as well! His current foundation is extremely huge!" Sixth Hair was still worried.
Ying Wu Xie snorted: "Even if Fang Yuan gets back his physical body, does he dare to use it? Spring Autumn Cicada is not a problem, it was already sealed and is going to starve to death soon. Even if Fang Yuan can resolve this problem, Spring Autumn Cicada itself has a failure rate when activating, it still has heaven's will hiding inside it, it will be a long time before he will be able to use it. Moreover, the attention of Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals will also be attracted to him."
Sixth Hair's expression shook, the visible worry lessening by a lot.
He repeatedly nodded his head: "Lord, you are correct."
Ying Wu Xie heaved a long sigh: "You will still have to continue to watch Fang Yuan. You are already exposed, but Fang Yuan won't make a move against you. It is okay if we are not able to suppress him. He has obtained so many Immortal Gu just now, they will certainly be a large burden to him. Moreover, the calamities and tribulations will divert even more of his energy. Let him develop, wait until I gather strength and save our main body, then we shall settle the score with him!"
One could learn from experience, after having experienced so much, Ying Wu Xie was rapidly maturing.
He understood what he could give up, and more importantly, learned to patiently endure.
He was, after all, one of the split souls of Spectral Soul, and had the natural skill to become a powerful expert.
Suffering and setbacks were of value in life, and he was rapidly growing up because of them.
Northern Plains, Lang Ya blessed land.
Some time had already passed since the transactions with Ying Wu Xie.
Fang Yuan gazed at the immortal zombie body in front of him, and sighed.
"I don't dare to use it..." Fang Yuan rubbed his chin, feeling troubled.
After he had regained his immortal zombie body, although he had used almost all the means available to him at present to conduct many careful inspections, he did not find any issues.
But what origin did Ying Wu Xie have? What origin did Shadow Sect have?
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable!
He was the progenitor of soul path, a Gu Venerable, a person who had once ruled over the world and all living beings!
Would his split soul, Ying Wu Xie, have some kind of soul path method to create a sinister trap within this body?
It was very possible!
Fang Yuan's transaction with Ying Wu Xie had not been under any information path restriction from the beginning to the end.
Because neither side trusted the other.
Moreover, Fang Yuan's information path methods were definitely inferior to Ying Wu Xie's. If he used an information path method to restrict himself, it was very possible the other party would secretly break it, and this would make it even more unfavorable to Fang Yuan!
Thus, he was completely unable to guarantee the safety of this body.
Fang Yuan wanted this immortal zombie body back mainly to obtain the acknowledgement of wisdom Gu and use the light of wisdom. So he needed to put his soul into this immortal zombie vessel.
This was very dangerous.
Shadow Sect was most proficient in matters regarding the soul.
Fang Yuan did not discover any issues, perhaps Ying Wu Xie had not tampered with it, but the more likely possibility was that there was a huge issue with this immortal zombie body, only that Fang Yuan did not have the ability to discover it.
Spectral Soul Demon Venerable was the founder of soul path, Fang Yuan trying to decipher soul path methods was like an amateur performing in front of an expert.
"Looks like I still need to inspect this body for a while. I can't be careless, any slight carelessness and I might fall into a scheme of Shadow Sect." Fang Yuan warned himself.
Only when he was a hundred percent sure of safety would Fang Yuan use this body.
Or perhaps when there were no other options, he might choose to take the risk.
"Although I can't use wisdom Gu, regaining my body and Spring Autumn Cicada is already a great success."
Spring Autumn Cicada had all along been Fang Yuan's greatest trump card.
Now that Fang Yuan had gotten his body back, Spring Autumn Cicada, which remained in the first aperture as the vital Gu, was naturally also back.
In the previous negotiations, when Fang Yuan mentioned for Spring Autumn Cicada to be returned, he was met with strong denial from Sixth Hair.
He refused to admit Ying Wu Xie had Spring Autumn Cicada.
Because neither side was restricted by information path methods, Fang Yuan would not be able to tell apart truth or lies. There were no consequences for lying.
However, Fang Yuan was even more unreasonable, directly saying: "That is impossible! If you truly did not have, then you people would have refined it. In any case, I don't care about others, but you must return my Spring Autumn Cicada!"
Fang Yuan had no bottom line and his stance was extremely resolute.
Even though Sixth Hair said that he would swear on his life, shouting loudly as he vowed, Fang Yuan's attitude was unchanged.
After wasting a good amount of time, Fang Yuan regained his body and Spring Autumn Cicada.
However, Spring Autumn Cicada had an issue.
It was sealed by Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals using some strange methods, it was already cut off from the River of Time and was currently in a starving state.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also knew Spring Autumn Cicada had heaven's will in it, this was his biggest threat!
The immortal zombie body and Spring Autumn Cicada, both had dangers lurking within them and could not be used.
But even so, Fang Yuan was happy.
Even if I can't use them, as long as they are in my possession, it is a huge victory!
Especially when Spring Autumn Cicada was a huge trump card!
After regaining Spring Autumn Cicada and the immortal zombie body, Fang Yuan demanded Fixed Immortal Travel in the second transaction.
But where would Sixth Hair get it from?
No matter how forceful Fang Yuan was, it was no use. Moreover, he could also guess Fixed Immortal Travel might truly have been destroyed. If they had Fixed Immortal Travel, they would have already used Fixed Immortal Travel to make an escape, why would they come to be extorted by him?
A more crucial matter was that Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair had already completed a transaction.
With the transaction, it meant betraying Lang Ya Sect.
Sixth Hair had a hold over Fang Yuan, land spirits were single-minded and obstinate, if he discovered this, no matter how Fang Yuan tried to explain, it would probably be of no use.
So Fang Yuan finally gave up on Fixed Immortal Travel.
Although he could not obtain Fixed Immortal Travel, Fang Yuan obtained a large number of Immortal Gu in this transaction.
A large number!
Among them were Hei Lou Lan's strength qi Immortal Gu, self strength Immortal Gu and flying bear strength Immortal Gu, as well as Tai Bai Yun Sheng's Landscape as Before and Man as Before. Among Fang Yuan's own, there was pulling mountain Immortal Gu, pulling water Immortal Gu, star eyes Immortal Gu, and calamity beckoning Immortal Gu.
Iron crown eagle strength Immortal Gu and connect luck Immortal Gu had already been placed in treasure yellow heaven by Ying Wu Xie, and since treasure yellow heaven was closed, these two Immortal Gu were also trapped within it.
Eat Strength, Cleanse Soul, Fixed Immortal Travel, Star Shoot, Star Mark and Starlight had all self-detonated under Fang Yuan's special will, and Ying Wu Xie had not been able to save them.
Naturally, this information could be false as well.
Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair were not bound by information path methods. The bottom lines of both sides had to be probed out by themselves. Maybe Ying Wu Xie had secretly withheld some Immortal Gu, but Fang Yuan had already done everything he could and had no way to make Ying Wu Xie spit them out.
After all, every time Fang Yuan transacted, he would be betraying Lang Ya Sect once more, and his tough stance would weaken by some degree. While Shadow Sect had obtained a portion of the immortal materials and their weak stance gradually strengthened by some degree.
Of course, Fang Yuan had the firm upper hand from start to finish. After all, Ying Wu Xie was the one in a bad situation.
But Fang Yuan also did not want Ying Wu Xie to die so quickly.
If he died, as long as he left behind some clues to Heavenly Court's Gu Immortals, Fang Yuan would soon be met with disaster.
It was a much better situation with Ying Wu Xie attracting the enemies ahead of him. Heavenly Court and Shadow Sect could mutually weaken each other, while Fang Yuan observed from the sidelines.
Fang Yuan was aware that since he had stolen sovereign immortal fetus Gu, Shadow Sect would absolutely try to kill him. But this was also a reason for Shadow Sect to secretly protect him.
Ma Hong Yun's example was right in front of him. Fang Yuan knew he was Ma Hong Yun from Shadow Sect's point of view, Shadow Sect definitely wanted to re-refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu. It was just that the situation currently did not permit them to do this.
Since Ying Wu Xie had looked for Fang Yuan to do transactions, it meant he was truly at a dead end. Fang Yuan had to leave him some hope.
If Fang Yuan truly forced him until he gave up and went to drag both of them down, Fang Yuan would also be implicated and might even die.
In fact, what Sixth Hair said at the beginning had been effective.
-x-X-x-
Several days later, Lang Ya blessed land.
Two figures were cutting through the air, before they suddenly stopped.
"This land is a desolate area, it is suitable for our spar." The figure ahead observed the surroundings, and spoke leisurely.
"Brother Fang is right." The figure behind was a hairy man Gu Immortal named Twelfth Hair, he spoke brightly and with a grin on his face.
Compared to the other hairy man Gu Immortals in Lang Ya Sect, Twelfth Hair was somewhat special.
Because he not only cultivated refinement path, but also cultivated enslavement path. He was a dual cultivator of refinement and enslavement path.
It was not an easy thing for Gu Immortals to cultivate two paths, because almost all Gu Immortals only had one immortal aperture. When they underwent immortal ascension, the Gu worm they used for breaking open their aperture into an immortal aperture would be what decided their main cultivation path. The dao marks added on from passing tribulations would mostly be of their main path as well.
However, in this world, there were many Gu Immortals that cultivated two paths as well, they were mostly rank six and rank seven. Cultivating one path primarily, while cultivating another path as a secondary path.
Such Gu Immortals often had fortuitous encounters, obtaining Immortal Gu that were suitable for cultivating two paths. For instance, Fang Yuan's eat strength Immortal Gu could increase his strength path dao marks. If Gu Immortals of other paths obtained it, they could also dual cultivate strength path.
Twelfth Hair was not an exception.
In his early years, because of an unexpected surprise when refining Gu, he obtained a completely new Gu embryo from the failed refinement. After his immortal ascension, he raised this Gu to rank six and named it Immortal Slave. This Gu could add enslavement path dao marks to his body.
This made him rather special among all the hairy man Gu Immortals.
The previous Lang Ya land spirit had taken great care of him. Although enslavement path did not have much of a relation to refinement path, Lang Ya land spirit encouraged Twelfth Hair to continue cultivating both paths, because the enslavement path dao marks in Twelfth Hair could provide huge help when refining enslavement path Immortal Gu.
The current Lang Ya land spirit regarded Twelfth Hair with even more respect. But what he prioritized was the aspect of battle strength. Twelfth Hair cultivated enslavement path, this was an excellent foundation. Lang Ya land spirit even gave beast enslavement Immortal Gu to him, intending to nurture him as their enslavement path battle strength!
Every emperor had his own favorites, but Twelfth Hair was even more well-liked and was the favorite of the current Lang Ya land spirit.
Fang Yuan had not been very sure on the details about these hairy men. But in the secret transactions with Ying Wu Xie, he obtained much intel about Lang Ya blessed land.
The intel could not be said to be very precious, but they were of extremely huge help to Fang Yuan, letting him have a comprehensive understanding of Lang Ya Sect.
Fang Yuan and Twelfth Hair both descended to the ground.
Cloud Cover Continent's ground was made from cloud soil, it was white and slightly soft. It was very different from the sensation of an ordinary muddy surface.
"Twelfth brother, please." Fang Yuan gestured with his hand.
"Haha, Brother Fang, I won't stand on ceremony then! Chestnut yak, come out!" Twelfth Hair laughed loudly, he somersaulted and while landing on the ground, he hit the ground with his palms.
He looked like he was horsing around, before suddenly performed a kneeling ceremony towards Fang Yuan.
Gu Immortals paid attention to their bearing, this kind of humiliating action was absolutely avoided by human Gu Immortals. But these hairy man Gu Immortals were different, they had gone through the previous Lang Ya land spirit's nurturing, each of them were very straightforward with very shallow battle strength!
Over these last days, Fang Yuan was already used to the unusual.
Twelfth Hair knelt towards Fang Yuan, his excited expression suddenly stiffened.
"Ah." He raised his head, looking at Fang Yuan, "How embarrassing, I failed."
"No problem." Fang Yuan warmly smiled: "It is an immortal killer move, failure in activation is an unavoidable matter, try again."
"Yes, yes!" Twelfth Hair repeatedly nodded his head, somersaulting once again towards the back and with a slam, his knees and hands touched the ground simultaneously.
...
Silence.
After being at a standstill for several breaths of time, Twelfth Hair stuck his tongue out, licking his lips: "Damn, I failed again. Let me try again!"
Swoosh!
A somersault.
Slam.
Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.
...
Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.
"Let me try again! I don't believe it." Twelfth Hair shouted in determination.
Swoosh!
A somersault.
Slam.
Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.
...
Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, wait a while." Twelfth Hair said to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan warmly smiled: "It is understandable, understandable."
Twelfth Hair gratefully nodded his head as he made an attempt again.
Swoosh!
A somersault.
Slam.
Kneeling towards Fang Yuan.
...
Another few seconds of standstill, but there was still silence.
This continued for a dozen or so times without any success. Fang Yuan had not even made any move, but Twelfth Hair had already spurted out several mouthfuls of blood, moreover blood was seeping out of his ears as well, his face getting paler and paler.
Failure in activating an immortal killer move would cause backlash to the Gu Immortal.
Even Fang Yuan also could not bear to see this continue, and could not resist reminding: "From my observation, twelfth brother, your somersaulting has almost no use towards the immortal killer move, might as well try discarding it."
"Somersaulting?" Twelfth Hair scratched his head and said, innocently, "This is my meticulously designed movement. Don't you feel somersaulting will make me look imposing and cool?"
Fang Yuan's face almost was distorted to the point of lines appearing, as he thought: "Your movement of kneeling towards your enemy is indeed 'imposing'."
But Twelfth Hair was also an obedient person who knew to correct his mistake: "Since Brother Fang thinks it is inappropriate, then I will change it."
After that, Twelfth Hair no longer somersaulted.
Instead, slam, he directly knelt towards Fang Yuan.
It was a standstill, several breaths later, he stood up, puffing out a mouthful of blood, refusing to give in, he said: "Let me try again."
Several tries later, an azure blue radiance suddenly blossomed from Twelfth Hair's hands.
The radiance quickly enlarged, and actually formed a blue lake on the ground.
The lake water surged and a cattle shaped desolate beast rode the giant wave, charging towards Fang Yuan.
Rumble!
The blue lake water washed to the shore, the giant yak stepped on the ground and grunted towards the sky.
Whoosh—!
A formless sound wave squeezed out the air and actually stirred up a vortex.
This giant yak was bluish black with a large head and thick lips. A pair of bull horns spaced quite far apart pierced towards the sky.
It had a wide chest and a large stomach, but it gradually became slim towards the rear. The whole body looked huge at the front and small at the back.
The lower side of its body and its four legs were covered with thick hair that were drooping down to the ground. Its tail was thick and large like a brown broom.
There was no doubt of the might of this giant yak, and it also had a superb debut, brimming with a tyrannical aura, forming a completely stark comparison with Twelfth Hair's performance.
However....
Fang Yuan did not care.
Chestnut yak... this giant yak might be a desolate beast, but it was well-known for its low battle strength. The impressions of many Gu Immortals towards it were of the unique flavor of its meat, it could be eaten raw and tasted like chestnuts. This was the reason for its name.
But the chestnut yak's battle strength was naturally not the weakest among desolate beasts.
The publicly recognized weakest desolate beast were desolate beast dragonfish, which Fang Yuan was breeding.
"It finally activated." Twelfth Hair was jubilant, and shouted as he pointed at Fang Yuan, "Chestnut yak, charge!"
Snort!
The chestnut yak grunted towards the sky once again, but did not move.
Twelfth Hair's face flushed with embarrassment, and seeming holding back his anger, he commanded again: "Charge, charge, charge, you foolish yak!"
The chestnut yak only then started to rush forward.
It was already at a very short distance away from Fang Yuan, and reached Fang Yuan within a few steps.
Strong winds surged forward.
The chestnut yak was enormous, and as it rushed, it was like four carriages stacked together, it had quite an imposing aura.
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Inside his immortal aperture, change form Immortal Gu flew up.
Following it, all kinds of supplementary mortal Gu flew up and revolved around change form Immortal Gu.
Transformation path immortal killer move — Flying Bear Transformation!
Bright radiance suddenly erupted.
An intense light forced Twelfth Hair to close his eyes.
Twelfth Hair quickly activated his investigative Gu, a layer of transparent crystal covered his eyes and he was able to open his eyes again.
The light had yet to dissipate, but Twelfth Hair was able to see the scene clearly.
Bam.
The chestnut yak seemed to have collided into a giant beast.
This giant beast was even larger than it.
The chestnut yak's collision showed no results.
At this time, the light dissipated, and revealed the true appearance of the giant beast.
This was a giant white bear, its physique was burly and bulky, and its body was covered in short and densely packed white fur. It had sharp claws, and its short tail was curled up like a white pompom, appearing somewhat cute.
This was a transformation of Fang Yuan, into a desolate beast flying bear.
When the chestnut yak saw this flying bear, its eyes immediately popped open as its imposing aura vanished like a flickering candle, it gave a miserable cry before actually turning around and running away.
Twelfth Hair yelled furiously at this: "You cowardly yak, you are also a desolate beast, damn it, go back."
He activated his enslavement path method and was only able to regain his control over the chestnut yak after it had ran a large distance. The yak once again charged towards the flying bear.
The chestnut yak was herbivorous and had a docile nature. This chestnut yak had been raised by the previous Lang Ya land spirit in order to use its meat as Gu refinement immortal material.
Because of Shadow Sect's sudden attack, Lang Ya blessed land's other desolate beasts all died. So Twelfth Hair could only use this chestnut yak to practice his skills.
Fang Yuan quietly stood on the spot and only when the yak had reached in front of him, did he exert strength in his limbs and erupt.
Whoosh!
The flying bear's enormous physique did not implicate its speed in the least, as it easily dodged to the side.
The chestnut yak brushed past the flying bear.
The flying bear roared and suddenly turned around, leaping towards the sky.
As it descended, the flying bear stretched out its right paw and slammed at the back of the chestnut yak.
Bam.
There was a strong collision, white cloud soil flew all around.
The chestnut yak was heavily injured and was actually slammed to the ground by one smack from the flying bear.
A huge crater formed on the level ground.
The chestnut yak was defeated in the blink of an eye, lying on the crater without moving, its eyes revealed its terror and its whole body was trembling.
-x-X-x-
The chestnut yak was slammed down by Fang Yuan's own paw, and did not dare to climb back up again.
No matter what methods Twelfth Hair used, he was unable to make this chestnut yak climb back up and fight again.
"The desolate beast is weak, the Gu Immortal is also useless." Fang Yuan shook his head internally, and dispelled his immortal killer move.
In moments, the giant flying bear turned into a ball of light.
From within the ball, Fang Yuan's figure slowly walked out and descended to the ground.
"I lost once again. Brother Fang is truly amazing!" Twelfth Hair tried for a long time but seeing no success, he could only cup his fists towards Fang Yuan, admitting defeat.
He and Fang Yuan had sparred several times already.
At first, after he lost, he did not admit defeat and remained obstinate. But after several times, he was already less affected, loss became normal and victory instead was the anomaly.
"Twelfth brother, you should practice your immortal killer move more frequently. And this chestnut yak is weak and timid, it is better if you change to another desolate beast as soon as possible." Fang Yuan advised.
Twelfth Hair repeatedly nodded his head and sighed: "This is all because treasure yellow heaven is closed! When it opens, I will immediately buy a desolate beast for combat. This yak already has none of its wild nature left, I already thought of throwing it away. But I need to bear the cost of buying a desolate beast myself, this is the rule created after the sect was established. Sigh, my beast enslavement Immortal Gu is also not mine, I still need to pay to use it. Enough talking, I need to hurry back to refine Gu and sell them to earn immortal essence stones."
"See you." Fang Yuan nodded.
Twelfth Hair took back the chestnut yak and hurriedly left.
"Good, I have obtained twenty sect contribution points again." Fang Yuan gazed at the receding figure of Twelfth Hair, his mind rippling with some joy.
Over these last few days, he had not only been sparring with Twelfth Hair, he also had similar contact with other hairy man Gu Immortals.
Although the secret transactions between Fang Yuan and Sixth Hair had already finished, Sixth Hair repeatedly visiting Fang Yuan's cloud city during the process was a small flaw.
Although Fang Yuan had joined Lang Ya Sect and become an external supreme elder, there had always been a barrier between him and the hairy man Gu Immortals.
After all, the human race was powerful currently while hairy men were a type of variant human which suffered persecution from humans.
Fang Yuan might be on their side, but the hairy man Gu Immortals kept away from him. Why would Sixth Hair suddenly pay visits to Fang Yuan on his own initiative? This would certainly incite doubts.
To fix this flaw, after the transaction, Sixth Hair subtly revealed to the other hairy man Gu Immortals that he looked for Fang Yuan in order to raise his battle strength. Because the previous sudden invasion by Shadow Sect, along with the tribulations just now, had made him feel his battle strength was truly lacking, so he looked for the human Gu Immortal, Fang Yuan, to ask for advice.
To increase the trustworthiness of his words, Sixth Hair sparred with the other hairy man Gu Immortals and defeated them.
Sixth Hair was a spy, one of the split souls of Spectral Soul. He had deep combat proficiency and just using a little bit of it was enough for him to easily defeat them all.
This event caused a commotion in the small circle of hairy man Gu Immortals, even Lang Ya land spirit heard about it and affirmed Sixth Hair's actions in front of everyone. He even encouraged other hairy man Gu Immortals to ask for guidance from Fang Yuan. After all, the extremely low battle strength of the hairy man Gu Immortals had all along been a worry for Lang Ya land spirit.
After Sixth Hair, other hairy man Gu Immortals went to Fang Yuan for guidance. With just a little thinking, Fang Yuan realized Sixth Hair's intention and enthusiastically welcomed the other hairy man Gu Immortals.
Because this was a profitable thing with no harm to Fang Yuan.
First of all, he would be relying on Lang Ya Sect for a long period of time to cultivate more conveniently and be safer when undergoing tribulations. So having a good relationship with these hairy man Gu Immortals was a must.
Second, like Sixth Hair's considerations, Fang Yuan had to cooperate as well to make up for the flaw created because of the transactions.
Lastly, Fang Yuan needed sect contribution points.
From now on, if he wanted Lang Ya land spirit's help to borrow the strength of Lang Ya Sect, he could not always negotiate deals with Lang Ya land spirit.
Previously, he could make deals with Lang Ya land spirit because the land spirit had taken a fancy upon his Luo Po Valley, Dang Hun Mountain and wisdom Gu.
But from now on, to make Lang Ya Sect help him, the main thing would be to use sect contribution points.
This was Lang Ya Sect's rule. Even Lang Ya land spirit took the initiative to comply to it.
Lang Ya land spirit had already issued sect missions, the types of missions were mainly about guiding hairy man Gu Immortals to raise their battle strength.
Lang Ya land spirit himself was not suitable for these missions, and Fang Yuan was the only suitable candidate.
In these last few days, Fang Yuan guided many hairy man Gu Immortals and the response was extremely enthusiastic.
Even when the hairy man Gu Immortals who came later did not receive good training, they did not blame Fang Yuan and instead found reasons caused by themselves.
On one hand, Sixth Hair set an example, on the other, Fang Yuan knew about the information of these hairy men, and used his exquisite communicative skills to enthusiastically get along with them, making these hairy man Gu Immortals have a huge change in their impression of Fang Yuan.
As for why Fang Yuan knew about the information of these hairy man Gu Immortals, that was because he had obtained a lot of intel about Lang Ya blessed land from his transactions with Shadow Sect.
Fang Yuan calculated: "With this, my sect contribution points amount to over one hundred and forty. This is quite lucrative."
Every time he gave guidance would provide Fang Yuan twenty sect contribution points.
Previously, when Fang Yuan had lent Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po Valley and other resources, he had only earned about three hundred contribution points.
"These one hundred and forty sect contribution points are enough to exchange for some flowing light fruits." With such thoughts, Fang Yuan moved towards the first cloud city.
In first cloud city, he saw Lang Ya land spirit.
Lang Ya land spirit sized up Fang Yuan and praised: "As worthy of change form Immortal Gu! This hairy man Gu Immortal you have transformed into has almost no flaws, unless I use investigative Immortal Gu."
When Fang Yuan was arriving, he suddenly had a brilliant idea, and used change form Immortal Gu to transform into a hairy man Gu Immortal.
His aim was clear, it was to get into to Lang Ya land spirit's good books.
Lang Ya land spirit held the ideology of hairy men rulership, and when he saw this appearance of Fang Yuan, he smiled happily and started praising change form Immortal Gu. In fact, he found his opinion of Fang Yuan rising.
Fang Yuan, however, sighed and spoke with a bitter tone: "This transformation is still not complete, although I have change form Immortal Gu, I lack everlasting Immortal Gu. If I had everlasting Immortal Gu, I could completely transform into a hairy man and truly become a member of Lang Ya Sect! Lord first supreme elder, you might not know, but after these days of being in contact with other hairy man Gu Immortals, I am deeply moved. Human Gu Immortals are crafty and on guard against each other. But hairy men are forthright and sincere, united, warm and cordial, this is a true home. I already can't bear to part with this place."
Lang Ya land spirit laughed heartily and repeatedly patted Fang Yuan's shoulder: "Fang Yuan, having such an awareness is good, very good!"
If he knew Fang Yuan had transacted with Shadow Sect just some days ago and did not report the spy, he would flay Fang Yuan, this insidious fellow, alive!
But what a pity, Lang Ya land spirit did not know any of it.
"I have seen your actions over these last days. You have guided these children and raised their battle strength by a lot, especially Sixth Hair's! Good, good. These last days, I have heard a lot of good things about you from other hairy man Gu Immortals. Ah, what matter did you come for this time?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
"I wanted to use some sect contribution points to exchange for some flowing light fruits." Fang Yuan replied.
"That's a small matter! As long as your contributions are enough, exchanging for flowing light fruits is no problem." Lang Ya land spirit waved his hand and said frankly.
Fang Yuan pretended to hesitate: "I have a very slight opinion regarding Lang Ya Sect's development. I don't know if I should say it or not?"
"Tell me about it, I'm listening." Lang Ya land spirit squinted his eyes and smiled.
Fang Yuan spoke: "Over these last days of sparring with many hairy man Gu Immortals, I made some findings. Their battle strength needs to be raised urgently, but how to raise them is the problem. Because all of them primarily cultivate refinement path, and although refinement path also has offensive methods, it is inferior to the offensive prowess of other paths."
Lang Ya land spirit nodded, Fang Yuan's words hit his core problems, he could not help but sigh: "This is precisely what I am worried about."
Fang Yuan continued: "Actually, there is a good way to increase battle strength, that is transformation path."
"Transformation path?"
"Right." Fang Yuan slowed down, before continuing: "Among all the Gu cultivation paths, to speak of the one that can increase battle strength the fastest, that would be blood path. But blood path is extremely dangerous and is too threatening to others! Its reputation is vile and it is hated by everyone. Moreover, if one's blood path cultivation is even slightly high, their name will be added to Heavenly Court's Demon Judgment Board, and that would expose us. So, blood path won't do."
"You are right!" Lang Ya land spirit approved.
Actually, he was also apprehensive towards blood path. If hairy man Gu Immortals cultivated blood path, he was worried if it would lead to internal strife and conflicts in Lang Ya Sect.
Fang Yuan spoke with assurance: "Besides blood path, the path that can increase battle strength the fastest is transformation path. The threshold for transformation path is very low, its immortal killer moves also don't require any planning, any kind of transformation is an immortal killer move. Normal immortal killer moves require at least a few years of trial and error, right?"
"And in Lang Ya Sect, there are large numbers of Immortal Gu recipes which includes many transformation path Immortal Gu recipes. We have many Immortal Gu recipes but few immortal killer moves. If hairy man Gu Immortals cultivate refinement path primarily and transformation path as the secondary path, they can take advantage of the strengths and avoid the weaknesses."
"The hairy man Gu Immortals are not hardened, to raise their battle strength would not be a day's work. If they transformed into desolate beasts, their bodies would become tougher, even if they make some mistakes in battles, it won't be much of a problem, they can fight back. It won't be like other paths such as fire path and water path, the body is extremely weak and without defensive methods, they would be in extreme danger in the battlefield."
"Transformation path Immortal Gu recipes are easy to deduce and their immortal materials are easy to obtain, thus the Immortal Gu are easy to refine as well."
"Hairy man Gu Immortals can transform into desolate beasts to fight, and it can also be a way to disguise their hairy man identities. Although Lang Ya Sect has deep foundations, the five regions are still ruled by humans. As long as we can do so, we should give as little chance to expose ourselves as possible."
-x-X-x-
Lang Ya land spirit could only keep on nodding at Fang Yuan's well-founded words.
"Reasonable, reasonable!" He praised.
"I am flattered. This is only my shallow opinion." Fang Yuan spoke modestly.
Land spirits were straightforward, Lang Ya land spirit did not understand Fang Yuan's modesty, retorting with a shake of his head: "No, this is not just a shallow opinion, it is a true insight. Your words have inspired me greatly, they are a huge contribution towards Lang Ya Sect."
"According to Lang Ya Sect's rules, just this contribution could have raised your status by one level. For instance, Sixth Hair could promote to Fifth Hair. But you are not a true hairy man Gu Immortal right now, so you can only receive two hundred sect contribution points."
At the end, Lang Ya land spirit looked at Fang Yuan and sighed in regret.
Fang Yuan also showed an extremely regrettable expression on his face.
He was only an external elder at present and did not need to complete any missions, and every month, he would get ten sect contribution points. However, other hairy man Gu Immortals were genuine members, and their monthly earnings were much higher. Moreover, the higher the hairy man Gu Immortal's ranking, the more sect contribution points they would receive each month.
"How I wish to become a true hairy man!" Fang Yuan lamented, showing a genuine and sincere expression on his face, as if he truly wanted that.
Lang Ya land spirit spoke: "It is a pity that treasure yellow heaven is closed at the moment, once it opens, I will start a large scale purchase of the desolate beasts."
"I have a slight opinion about this." Fang Yuan quickly spoke, "There are many hairy man Gu Immortals, and to nurture them, no matter how great our sect's assets are, we won't be able to bear such expenses. Moreover, this is not the way to run a business. I suggest we develop our own resources."
"Oh? How do you propose we do that?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
Fang Yuan replied: "Simple, like other super forces, we occupy the resources in the five regions."
Lang Ya land spirit showed a reluctant expression.
He had already thought of this before and also carefully pondered its advantages and disadvantages, before considering it an undesirable choice.
The reason was evident, hairy men were variant humans, and could not be out in the open in the current age.
Although there were variant human forces in Northern Plains, one clear example being Inkman City, this Inkman City only had one inkman Gu Immortal publicly. And in history, Inkman City's founder, Immortal Yi Yan, had paid a heavy price to reach an agreement with Giant Sun Immortal Venerable. These two factors allowed Inkman City to barely be able to survive amidst the countless powerful human forces.
If Lang Ya Sect's force appeared in the open, with so many hairy man Gu Immortals, it would definitely provoke human Gu Immortals, encroaching upon their bottom line.
Whether it be righteous path, demonic path or lone immortal forces, they would not easily allow the existence of such a powerful outside force.
Lang Ya land spirit might be straightforward, but he was not foolish. He wholeheartedly wanted to make hairy men rule the world, but he was still very aware of the current situation.
However, Fang Yuan had already expected this reaction from Lang Ya land spirit, as he continued: "First supreme elder, I am not suggesting for Lang Ya Sect to openly fight with human forces for the outside world's resources. We will instead focus on occupying the resources they have not occupied, and secretly develop."
Realization dawned upon Lang Ya land spirit: "You are referring to those dangerous forbidden areas?"
Northern Plains was vast and broad, but the large and super forces had already split the cultivation resources found within it. What remained mainly were the ten great fierce areas.
"First supreme elder is wise!" Fang Yuan immediately gave a thumbs up in admiring fashion: "The ten great fierce areas are dangerous, but at the same time, they contain plentiful opportunities. In my opinion, Earth Trench is a good place. We can set up a teleportation Gu formation, letting the hairy man Gu Immortals freely go back and forth the blessed land and Earth Trench. There are countless desolate beasts and ancient desolate beasts in Earth Trench, they are perfect for the hairy man Gu Immortals to train their combat abilities. Moreover, by killing these desolate beasts, we can use their body parts to refine transformation path Immortal Gu. If we capture these desolate beasts, we can also use beast enslavement Immortal Gu to enslave them and make them aid us, increasing the defense of the blessed land."
One of the crucial components for this was a teleportation Gu formation.
Accurately speaking, a Gu formation that could transport Gu Immortals.
Lang Ya Sect undoubtedly possessed such a method.
Because when Fang Yuan was previously hurrying back from Southern Border, he used the teleportation Gu formation at Feng Bo Cliff to get rid of those troublesome cloud beasts and return to Lang Ya blessed land.
That teleportation Gu formation had left a deep impression on Fang Yuan.
Lang Ya land spirit sank into contemplation: "This matter is too significant, I need to consider it properly."
"I am only suggesting, the significant matters in the sect still need to be decided by you, first supreme elder. If my suggestion is flawed, I hope you can be lenient."
Fang Yuan was deeply aware that pushing too much could be detrimental, he changed the topic to the flowing light fruits he wanted to obtain.
After a while, he left with a large number of flowing light fruits.
Parting with the land spirit, he returned to his own cloud city and immediately started arranging these flowing light fruits.
Flowing light fruits were not ordinary fruits.
They were formed from pure bundles of light, if ordinary people were to try to touch them, they would just pass through their hands. Special methods were needed to collect these fruits.
These fruits did not grow on plants or trees like ordinary fruits either, instead they were a pure materialization of dense aurora lights.
Aurora lights were of many colors, so the same went for flowing light fruits, having all kinds of color like red, brown, yellow, green, black, blue, purple, etc.
Flowing light fruits were the food of attitude Gu.
The reason Fang Yuan exchanged for flowing light fruits was because of this.
Ever since the transactions, the Immortal Gu Fang Yuan possessed had suddenly increased to a terrifying number.
Counting his current collection.
Rank nine Immortal Gu: wisdom Gu.
Rank eight Immortal Gu: attitude Gu, wisdom sword Gu.
Rank seven Immortal Gu: Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Sword Escape, Calamity Beckoning.
Rank six Immortal Gu: Unravel Mystery, Woman's Heart, Blood Asset, Dark Limit, Dog Shit Luck, Change Form, Strength Qi, Self Strength, Flying Bear Strength, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, Landscape as Before, Man as Before, Star Eyes.
Among them, to refine Bo Qing's sword path Gu worms, Fang Yuan had left Woman's Heart in Hu Immortal blessed land before the battle of Yi Tian Mountain. He had used the light of wisdom to construct a Gu formation, in which Unravel Mystery and Woman's Heart were two components. But Unravel Mystery was brought away by Fang Yuan after it had been activated at the start. Woman's Heart, however, needed to remain in the Gu formation, until Bo Qing's sword path Immortal Gu were successfully refined, before it could be taken out.
Because of this, after the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when Fang Yuan used Lang Ya Sect to completely move away the resources in the two blessed lands, Woman's Heart was also taken by Lang Ya blessed land before finally returning to Fang Yuan's hands.
Connect luck Gu and iron crown eagle strength Gu, which originally belonged to Fang Yuan, were placed in treasure yellow heaven by Ying Wu Xie, so Fang Yuan was not able to obtain them during the transactions. After finishing the transactions, it was even more impossible for him to get them back.
Among the star path Gu worms, only star eyes Immortal Gu returned to Fang Yuan's possession, while it was a mystery whether the other Immortal Gu like Star Shoot, Star Mark, Starlight and Star Thought were in Ying Wu Xie's hands, he did not know if they still existed or not.
In the battle of Yi Tian Mountain, when Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage broke down, many of its Gu worms were destroyed, but there were still some Gu worms remaining which had been left behind in the immortal zombie body's immortal aperture. Fang Yuan was not too familiar with those Gu worms and he did not even remember their appearances (the loss of memories), and also did know how many of them were withheld by Ying Wu Xie.
It was not that Fang Yuan did not want to take these Gu worms back, but before he could even talk about it, Ying Wu Xie had already concluded the transaction.
Normally speaking, there was a rule for Immortal Gu, quality over quantity.
Forget about mortal Gu, even for a large number of mortal Gu, Gu Immortals could raise them.
Immortal Gu were the key factor in measuring a Gu Immortal's strength.
Very few Gu Immortals raised as many Immortal Gu as Fang Yuan currently possessed.
Even many rank eight Gu Immortals did not have as many as Fang Yuan.
This was not in the least bit exaggerated.
It was enough for most Gu Immortals to have two or three Immortal Gu. Naturally, these Immortal Gu were suited for their ranks.
One Immortal Gu, when matched with large numbers of different combinations of mortal Gu, could result in different immortal killer moves and produce different effects which covered offense, defense, movement, healing and other aspects.
But just one Immortal Gu was not enough.
Because with just one Immortal Gu, the Gu Immortal could only activate one immortal killer move at one time. If they used a defensive killer move, they would not have offensive methods, or they would lose their movement advantage, and could only be in a passive situation. If they used offense, then they would not have defensive method, which could cause the Gu Immortal's situation to be very dangerous.
But with two Immortal Gu, both could be simultaneously used to cover all aspects.
Having more than three Immortal Gu would become a burden, generally, they could not be nurtured properly and used.
After all, activating Immortal Gu required immortal essence.
There were few examples where someone used higher rank Immortal Gu like Fang Yuan using rank seven Immortal Gu. It was because he was a special case and his experiences were different from the vast majority of Gu Immortals.
Gu Immortals were very selective in choosing Immortal Gu.
They were selective not in terms of quantity, but they focused on and limited the range of types of Immortal Gu.
A fire path Gu Immortal would perform best with fire path Immortal Gu, using water path or ice path would simply be looking for trouble. Even if they had Immortal Gu of other paths, they could at most be used as supplementary Gu worms for immortal killer moves.
The quality of Immortal Gu was valued, not their number, this was common sense in the cultivation world, almost all Gu Immortals knew of it.
To Fang Yuan, however, this was not applicable.
Because he had the nine-five sovereign immortal aperture.
He had no worries about not having enough space in his immortal aperture. The rate of time was also fast, allowing the resources inside to grow extremely quickly.
These were all part of his potential.
Fang Yuan was already aware he had the potential to bear the burden of supporting large numbers of Immortal Gu!
Since he had this potential, he naturally would excavate as much of it as possible.
The second reason was that Fang Yuan was earning a lot daily, his current financial condition was extremely good.
His sovereign immortal aperture produced ninety-six beads of immortal essence every year. This one year was in relation to the time in the immortal aperture. In terms of the time in the outside world, his aperture would produce sixteen beads of immortal essence every day.
This number was already a lot, even those of the ten extreme physiques could not compare to it. When factoring in Fang Yuan's monthly income, this number was simply a drop in the bucket.
This meant Fang Yuan had the capital to provide for these Immortal Gu.
There was also Lang Ya Sect, which could be relied upon to a certain degree.
These three reasons added up to make Fang Yuan determined in raising large numbers of Immortal Gu to raise his battle strength.
There was no other way, whether it was facing heaven's will or the calamities and tribulations, Fang Yuan needed to ensure his strength was high.
A Gu Immortal's battle strength mostly came from their Immortal Gu and immortal killer moves.
Currently, Fang Yuan had few immortal killer moves, and he could not use wisdom Gu either, deducing more would require too much time, so he could only place his efforts in the aspect of Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan was naturally aware of Ying Wu Xie's scheme, it was to increase Fang Yuan's burden by giving him these Immortal Gu, and letting him have no time and energy to influence Shadow Sect's movements.
However, Fang Yuan needed large numbers of Immortal Gu to keep up his battle strength.
He also had the potential and the capital to raise these Immortal Gu.
This was completely different from when he was an immortal zombie.
The nine-five sovereign immortal aperture was the most crucial reason!
-x-X-x-
Most of Fang Yuan's attention was on his immortal aperture.
Large numbers of light path mortal Gu flew around before carrying flowing light fruits towards the sky.
Piercing through layers and layers of 'heavens', after a long period of flying, these flowing light fruits finally reached the highest layer.
Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal aperture was divided into five regions and nine heavens.
After considering it, Fang Yuan stored all the flowing light fruits in the highest layer.
"Although there are quite a few space path dao marks, I cannot imitate land spirits and directly use space path dao marks to teleport. After all, there is a huge difference between a Gu Immortal and land spirit. Land spirits are special existences formed from heavenly power merged with the Gu Immortal's obsession."
"The sovereign immortal aperture is extremely vast, it seems I will have to arrange a transportation Gu formation inside to facilitate the ease of transferring resources, and to adjust the structure and the layout of the various resources."
Fang Yuan's thought process was quite scattered.
Right now, all the flowing light fruits had entered the highest layer of the aperture.
The Gu worms Fang Yuan had mobilized brought the flowing light fruits to a specific location.
Poof poof poof...
In the next moment, soft explosions went off endlessly.
The flowing light fruits self-detonated one after the other.
Each flowing light fruit was not big, but after self-detonation, they rapidly formed into aurora lights that filled the sky, shining with all kinds of colors, forming a beautiful sight.
The essence of these flowing light fruits was condensed aurora light.
The reason Fang Yuan gathered these flowing light fruits was to feed attitude Gu, but why was he detonating these flowing light fruits?
It was because although the quantity of these flowing light fruits was not small, it was far from enough to fill attitude Gu.
Attitude Gu was a rank eight Immortal Gu, although its duration between feeding times was extremely long, every feeding session required an enormous amount of flowing light fruits.
This was normal when feeding Gu worms.
Normally, the higher the rank of the Gu worms, the more food they required, but the interval between each feeding session would increase greatly as well.
Gu worms altogether had nine ranks, rank eight was only below rank nine, the amount of food attitude Gu required was naturally an enormous number.
So Fang Yuan obtained these flowing light fruits in order to produce more fruits from them.
He detonated eighty percent of these fruits. He let the remaining twenty percent of the fruits float to the sky, nourishing them in the vast aurora lights.
As for the light path mortal Gu which carried the fruits, Fang Yuan retrieved and stored them.
"My sect contribution points were originally not many, but who could have thought that after giving a suggestion, Lang Ya land spirit himself increased my sect contribution points. And I was able to exchange for a satisfying number of these flowing light fruits."
"Next, I need to bring in large numbers of a mortal Gu, dazzling light Gu, to let these aurora lights grow."
Dazzling light Gu could erupt with red aurora lights, to maintain their survival, Fang Yuan would need to add in their food here, which was scorching swan stones.
However, neither of these were available in Lang Ya Sect's treasury, Fang Yuan needed to wait until treasure yellow heaven reopened to put this plan into action.
"Moreover, dazzling light Gu is only the simplest method to produce aurora lights, it is not very effective."
"There are Gu Immortals in treasure yellow heaven who sells flowing light fruits. I remember that among them are Visitor Can Xia, Qing Hui Zi and Fairy Cai Xia. Maybe I can ask for guidance from them, paying an amount to purchase their insights. But whether this succeeds or not, it will depend on their decision."
There was still quite a long time before attitude Gu starved.
Fang Yuan was planning for the future by doing this.
After all, attitude Gu's appetite was too huge, making prior preparations wouldn't be the least harmful.
Right now, Fang Yuan's situation was still rather leisurely.
Although he had gained a lot of Immortal Gu, it was not the time to feed most of them.
And the first earthly calamity had been passed not long ago, there was still ample time before the second calamity.
Fang Yuan now intended to focus on managing his immortal aperture as his main priority.
"I have already prepared for attitude Gu's feeding. But attitude Gu is not mine, there is Hei Lou Lan's will inside it. Right now, I know that Hei Lou Lan has betrayed the agreement and sided with Ying Wu Xie; so some of the information path restrictions on me should have been broken as well."
"That means I can now refine this attitude Gu to make it my own!"
Attitude Gu was the greatest harvest Fang Yuan made recently.
Even Fang Yuan, when he borrowed Gu from Hei Lou Lan back then, had not thought there would be a day attitude Gu would fall into his hands.
But refining attitude Gu was not a simple matter.
Because attitude Gu was not a wild Immortal Gu, moreover it was rank eight while Fang Yuan was merely a rank six Gu Immortal.
For him to forcibly refine a rank eight Immortal Gu of another person was not only incomparably difficult, it could also destroy attitude Gu if he did not handle it properly.
"But I have a method which can help me refine Immortal Gu of others. That Gu formation which I thought of before, I will just name it wisdom refinement formation for now."
Fang Yuan casually chose a name.
He was not concerned about these minor details, which was why he only named the Gu formation now.
Previously, he had robbed many sword path Immortal Gu from immortal zombie Bo Qing, and to refine them, he used the light of wisdom and star thoughts to deduce the wisdom refinement formation.
The wisdom refinement formation was constructed by using the light of wisdom, with Woman's Heart and Unravel Mystery as the cores and large numbers of supplementary mortal Gu.
Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Flying Sword, Sword Escape, Wave Sword and rank eight Wisdom Sword were all refined by Fang Yuan with the help of the wisdom refinement formation.
But the issue right now was that wisdom Gu did not acknowledge Fang Yuan, which meant he could not use light of wisdom, so how would he arrange the wisdom refinement formation?
To bring about the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan's soul had to be in his original body, only then could he obtain wisdom Gu's acknowledgement.
So this issue came down to the previous point, that was Fang Yuan's immortal zombie body.
The plan of refining attitude Gu and making it completely his was set aside for the moment.
Fang Yuan's next plan was to feed wisdom sword Immortal Gu.
This Immortal Gu was like attitude Gu, it was similarly a rank eight Immortal Gu. It was classified under sword path and also under wisdom path.
Wisdom sword cuts the threads of love!
In the past, Sword Immortal Bo Qing used this Immortal Gu to cut the wisdom path dao marks left by love Gu on his body, getting rid of the restrictions and regaining his freedom. He even used this to incite Spirit Affinity House's Fairy Mo Yao to rebel, using her for his own purposes.
This wisdom sword Immortal Gu could be said to be an amazing method which helped Bo Qing to turn the tides of his situation!
Right now, wisdom sword Immortal Gu was already refined by Fang Yuan.
But it was rather difficult for Fang Yuan to use it currently.
It was already very hard for Fang Yuan to use rank seven Immortal Gu. Using green grape immortal essence to activate wisdom sword Immortal Gu, if compared to a situation on Earth, might be like trying to run an aircraft carrier with two double A batteries.
Wisdom sword Immortal Gu was a genuine rank eight Immortal Gu, and needed rank eight immortal essence to activate.
One could see how outstanding attitude Gu was from this point.
Although it was also a rank eight Immortal Gu, attitude Gu could be activated using mental energy and be freely used by even rank six Gu Immortals. It was worthy of being a legendary Immortal Gu recorded in <
"Wisdom sword Immortal Gu feeds on multicolored overlord flowers."
"This flower is extremely huge, each mature multicolored overlord flower can cover an enormous surrounding range. For the flower to mature, it requires large amounts of illumination, intense sweet scents as well as pearl soil."
This difficulty was very high, many times higher than flowing light fruits.
Flowing light fruits were only a rank six immortal material, while multicolored overlord flowers were rank seven.
If Fang Yuan wanted to plant multicolored overlord flowers on a large scale, he needed to fulfill three conditions. Illumination, sweet scents and pearl soil.
First, illumination was quite difficult.
Fang Yuan's immortal aperture had about a hundred or so light path dao marks, so it was filled with some light and was not dim like his immortal zombie body's dead aperture.
But this light was certainly not enough to fulfill the demands of multicolored overlord flowers.
Unless he used the aurora lights of flowing light fruits.
But if he did that, his plans for flowing light fruits would be completely ruined. Light would be used up, it was consumable, especially since those aurora lights did not have any source right now.
The most basic solution was to increase the number of light path dao marks in the immortal aperture.
Light path Gu Immortals with deep foundation and accumulation often had limitless illumination in their immortal aperture.
But for Fang Yuan to achieve this in a short period, apart from having the earthly calamity be a light path calamity, he would have to kill light path Gu Immortal and absorb their dao marks.
The former was up to heaven's will, it could not be relied upon, while the latter was dangerous and also not reliable. Battles were hazardous and terrifying. Back then, Fang Yuan was able to kill Qi Zai because the latter had underestimated him, chasing him all the way, Fang Yuan had also used the special terrain of the Five Regional Mountain Range and used familiar face before he killed Qi Zai, obtaining the corpse and the soul.
The first condition, illumination, was the most difficult to resolve. There were many ways to obtain the other two, sweet scents and pearl soil. Pearl soil, especially, was sold on a large scale in treasure yellow heaven and was also not expensive.
Of course, Lang Ya blessed land did not have them.
The aforementioned plans were only those for feeding attitude Gu and wisdom sword Gu, and they already took up much of Fang Yuan's time and energy.
Fortunately, rank nine wisdom Gu's feeding was already taken care of by Lang Ya land spirit.
Wisdom Gu's food was lifespan Gu.
Fang Yuan did not even dare to think about it.
Even he would want to take its food.
"The feeding plans for attitude Gu and wisdom sword Gu have already been arranged. Next would be the rank sevens, Change Soul, Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword, Sword Escape and Calamity Beckoning."
Fang Yuan had already fed calamity beckoning Gu with the black blood of the six headed snake.
The six headed snake was a desolate beast with six heads. Fang Yuan had once bought the snake's corpse in treasure yellow heaven, but now for his long term plan, he intended to move over several six headed snakes into his immortal aperture to breed them.
As for the other rank seven Immortal Gu, their feeding plans required Fang Yuan to carefully arrange them.
Naturally, Fang Yuan did not forget Chu Du still had his rank seven flying sword Immortal Gu.
Its feeding issue was handed over to Chu Du.
In any case, Chu Du coveted Fang Yuan's tribulation technique, how could he let flying sword Immortal Gu starve?
In this aspect, Chu Du could be considered to be helping out Fang Yuan and decreasing his burden.
