Fuck…
More than ten Gu worms were fused together.
Such a situation was unheard of even for a Gu master like Fang Yuan who had read ten years worth of scriptures.
But this was something that could not be helped.
The Bloodthirsty Gu swallowed the self-destructing Zhang Wenbin.
After the explosion, it naturally mixed with the Gu worms in Zhang Wenbin’s acupoints.
In such a large jar of flesh and blood, it was not realistic to split the portion that belonged to the Bloodthirsty Gu.
But the most direct result of fusing more than ten Gu worms together was that a huge amount of spirit essence was consumed!
Especially when these Gu worms’ original ranks were not low and their quality was not bad.
The amount of spirit essence consumed was astronomical!
What was worse was that after these few days of seclusion, Fang Yuan still had not recovered to his peak level.
‘The remaining spirit essence in his acupoints was not even 1% of what it was before!
It was impossible to supply so many Gu worms above rank three for the fusion!
In just an instant, the spirit essence that had just been recovered after consuming two medicinal pills was instantly drained.
The liquid spirit essence in his acupoints that was almost gone in the first place quickly evaporated at a terrifying speed.
“This is bad…”
Fang Yuan knew something was wrong.
If the Gu worm couldn’t absorb enough spirit essence, then all of his previous efforts would be wasted!
It might even suck him dry, causing unimaginable consequences.
Unless, there was a powerful person by his side, using spirit essence infusion to supply him with enough spirit essence until the fusion ended.
Li Tongzhou could not help, since he was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and that bit of spirit essence was like a drop in the bucket.
The examiner did meet the requirements, but the Gu refinement techniques of the Gu Demon Sect could not be shown in front of him, otherwise, it would be even more troublesome.
Thinking about it, it seemed that only Bai Yao could help.
But…
With her identity, if the examiner saw her, they would definitely fight.
For the sake of Bai Yao’s safety, he ultimately did not open his mouth to send a voice transmission.
Fang Yuan struggled to hold on and control the process with his mind. He took out the primeval stones from his storage space and placed them beside him, trying to increase the concentration of spirit essence in the room as much as possible.
After that, he swallowed a few high-level pills.
This time, he took the essence recovery pills that Su Can gave him. They melted in his mouth and had a very good effect.
Once he ate them, the feeling of being emptied was noticeably alleviated.
Fang Yuan looked inside the pill bottle.
There were still five pills left.
It could provide him with more than a minute of spirit essence at the rate he was using it.
In this short amount of time, he could not even create a Gu worm’s limb.
Suddenly, a soft shout sounded from outside the house.
“Junior Fang, Are you there?”
Fang Yuan’s heart shook. Wasn’t this Wan Qian’s voice?
“Senior Wan?”
“It’s me, Can I come in?”
“Yes… quickly come in…”
‘Wan Qian seemed to have sensed something was wrong with Fang Yuan’s tone, and she quickly pushed the door open and entered.
With just a glance, she could see Fang Yuan’s predicament.
‘Without saying anything, she directly placed her palms against his back and transferred her spirit essence into Fang Yuan’s body.
“Thank you, Senior…”
Fang Yuan thanked her and started to concentrate on refining the Gu worm.
‘Wan Qian seemed to have broken through after this period of seclusion. She had also entered the Enlightenment Realm, and her spirit essence was extremely abundant.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and the Bloodthirsty Gu that Fang Yuan was refining had already recovered its body. All that was left was to fuse and refine all its energy.
The Bloodthirsty Gu was quite capable, so he did not need to worry when he started to deal with this last step.
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
The blood refinement for the Bloodthirsty Gu was more than half completed.
He did not know what rank it would evolve to after fusing with more than ten Gu worms.
He could not help but look forward to it.
Would it become his second Gold quality Gu worm?
He waited for a while more.
The glow on the Bloodthirsty Gu’s body was completely retracted, finally turning into a thick layer of purplish-black aura, covering its skin.
It looked like something that should not be provoked!
[Ding, your Bloodthirsty Gu has been successfully refined into a Soul Devouring Gu (Gold quality)!]
[Soul Devouring Gu]
Level: Tier 4
‘Type: Comprehensive
Quality: Gold
Skills: [Soul Devouring], [Metamorphosis], [Divine Essence Condensation], [Worm Group Derivation]
[Soul Devouring]: There are no creatures in the world that cannot be devoured. Those who are trapped by the Soul Devouring Gu will lose their vitality!
[Metamorphosis]: The Soul Devouring Gu can change its form according to its master’s wishes. Its attack can split stones and break metals, and its defense is as solid as a rock.
(Divine Essence Condensation]: The Soul Devouring Gu can refine and condense the external energy it devours and feed it back to its master.
[Worm Group Derivation]: The Soul Devouring Gu can break up into larvae and form a worm group.
As expected, it did not disappoint him.
After fusing so many Gu worms’ powers, the Bloodthirsty Gu had really broken through from black iron to gold-quality in one fell swoop.
Not only that, it had also become Fang Yuan’s first rank four Gu worm, allowing it to transform bigger and take on a mobile battle form.
Although he did not successfully fuse all the other Gu worms’ powers, the current few were already very powerful, and Fang Yuan was already very satisfied.
Behind him, Wan Qian slowly retracted her hand and stood up tiredly, but her body staggered and almost fell down. Luckily, Fang Yuan managed to catch her in time.
“Senior, thank you for your hard work.”
Fang Yuan said apologetically. “I caused you to lose so much spirit essence this time, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to recover in a short period of time…”
“No worries, after using up all my spirit essence, I feel that my meridians have expanded quite a bit. After cultivating, I should be able to absorb spirit essence faster than before, so this can be considered a blessing in disguise.”
Wan Qian lightly shook her head, curiously looking at the Gu worm Fang Yuan refined. “This Gu refinement technique of yours is very strange, it doesn’t seem to be the sect’s method.”
As expected, she was able to see through it.
But compared to the examiner, Wan Qian’s doubts did not cause Fang Yuan any pressure.
“This method is something I obtained by chance, and I combined with the sect’s method.”
He looked at Wan Qian seriously and said, “Senior, can you promise me not to tell anyone?”
Wan Qian glared at him. “I’m such a talkative person.”
Fang Yuan scratched his head and smiled. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Oh right, Senior, why are you here? Did Master assign me a mission?”
“This time, I came down the mountain because my clan requested me to go back. I heard that you were in Fanshu City, so I decided to visit you before I left.”
“You are going back to your clan? Senior, are you going to the capital?”
“Yes,
Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, “The journey to the capital is a long one. I don’t know how long it will be before I see you again. That cold poison of yours
Wan Qian’s beautiful face blushed, adding a bit of gentleness to it.
She said a little awkwardly. “My strength has increased a lot after my breakthrough. The cold poison shouldn’t relapse in the near future.”
“That’s good.”
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and still drew a stream of Yang spirit essence into her body. He smiled and said, “This way, there will be no accidents.”
Wan Qian smiled sweetly. “There’s a Martial Uncle looking for you at the inn. Do you want to go there together?”
“Let’s go!”
