"With my middle-grade aptitude, my primordial aperture can only store 45% of my primordial sea at most. The speed at which the Gu worms expel primeval essence is much faster than the speed at which I recover my primeval essence. If I want to refine Gu worms, I need to use external forces, which means I need to use primeval stones.”
"The weaker the will of the Gu worm, the less resistance it has, and the easier it is for me to refine it. However, all living beings had the will to live. To refine the Green Light Gu, I need at least five primeval stones and at most eight.”Relying on the rich cultivation experience in his mind, Meng Fanchen estimated the total amount of primeval stones he would need to consume.
"Right now, to refine the Liquor worm, I need at least eleven pieces, at most sixteen pieces.”Although the Liquor worm was the same as the Green Light Gu, both were Rank one Gu worms, it was undoubtedly more precious, and the difficulty of refining it was also higher. In other words, even though Meng Fanchen had seventeen primeval stones now, after refining the Liquor worm, he would only have six at most, or at least one left.
In the night sky, the bright green crescent moon emitted bright moonlight. The moonlight was like a hand, gently caressing the sect. The wooden buildings along the way were like jade tablets. The night wind blew gently. Meng Fanchen returned to the inn under the moonlight. The door of the inn was already closed. Meng Fanchen knocked on the door. "I heard it! I heard it! " Who is it, knocking on the door so late at night…" The inn's waiter opened the door while muttering, his eyes sleepy. However, when he saw Meng Fanchen at the door, his slightly dissatisfied and lazy expression changed. He bent down and smiled obsequiously."It's Young Master. This lowly one is truly fortunate to be able to open the door for Young Master.”
Meng Fanchen nodded. With a cold expression, he walked into the inn. This expression made the shop assistant smile even more humbly. He took the initiative to ask,"Young Master, are you hungry? Do you want me to inform the kitchen to make you a few dishes for supper?”
"No need." Meng Fanchen shook his head and instructed," Prepare some hot water for me. I want to wash up."”
"Yes, sir!" The waiter quickly nodded." Young Master, go back to your room first. I guarantee that the hot water will be delivered soon."”Meng Fanchen grunted in agreement and walked up the stairs to the second floor.
The shop assistant looked at Meng Fanchen's back, his eyes shining in the light, revealing an obvious look of envy.
"This is a Gu master, if I also have the talent to cultivate, how good would that be!”He clenched his fists and sighed deeply. When Meng Fanchen heard this, he could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart. Gu Masters could have strength that surpassed mortals and become people above mortals, but the price they had to pay was also high.
The first problem was financial resources. Gu Masters needed primeval stones for cultivation, battle, Gu refinement, and transactions. Without primeval stones, how could one cultivate? As a mortal, the inn's waiter was only a bystander, so he couldn't understand this kind of embarrassment. Just like this evening, when the young Gu Master Huang He smashed the wine jar, he vented his anger on the hunters: " He couldn't even bear to spend primeval stones to drink this Green City wine, yet you bunch of hunters, mere mortals, had this much spare money!
Looking at the leopard in a narrow tube, just this sentence alone could explain the cultivation situation of Gu Masters. Gu Masters had strong abilities, they earned more than mortals, but their expenditure was also high. Many times, every primeval stone had to be used carefully. Especially for low level Gu Masters.
Some Gu Masters might look glamorous on the surface, but they were actually living very frugally in the mainland.
"Moreover, as the Gu Master's realm increases, their need for resources will also increase. Without a backer, Gu Masters 'cultivation was difficult.”Meng Fanchen thought about his previous self and had a deep understanding of this.
He returned to the guest room and had just lit the lamp when the inn's waiter brought a basin of hot water. Of course, there were also towels and other toiletries. Meng Fanchen asked the waiter to leave and closed the door. After he had washed up, he went to bed. Although he was a little tired, he still felt excited."I finally got the Liquor worm. The Liquor worm was even more precious than the Green Light Gu. In a sense, it was a Gu that could increase a Gu Master's aptitude!”
Meng Fanchen sat on the bed and took out the Liquor worm. The Liquor worm was still sleeping soundly. It was slightly bigger than the Green Light Gu, white and fat, like a silkworm baby. Under the illumination of the light, its body was enveloped in a faint layer of light, like a pearl. His two eyes were like two black sesame seeds embedded in his white and fat head, making him look charmingly naive. It wasn't heavy in his hand, about the weight of an egg. Sniffing carefully, there was still a wisp of wine fragrance floating on its body. This wine fragrance was not the fragrance of the Green City Wine, but the smell emitted by the Liquor worm itself. The fragrance was faint and ethereal. Meng Fanchen's nose twitched as he inhaled the fragrance of the wine into his body. The fragrance of the wine flowed down and actually entered the Primal Aperture, entering the bronze Primal Sea.
Yuan Haibo moved a little and quickly absorbed the alcohol aura. A trace of extremely pure true essence was produced. The rest of the primeval essence was emerald green and flickered with a metallic luster. However, this strand of True Essence was pale green and more condensed than the original True Essence. This was primeval essence that only Rank one middle stage Gu Masters possessed.
Sensing the greenish green True Essence, Meng Fanchen revealed a satisfied smile.""My current cultivation level is only rank one initial stage. But with the Liquor worm's condensation, after the primeval essence was purified, one could have rank one middle stage primeval essence. The beauty of this was something that could not be explained in one or two sentences.”But soon, he stopped smiling."But I haven't truly mastered the Liquor worm yet, only by completely refining it and turning it into my vital Gu can I freely control it and use it to refine my primeval essence with the greatest efficiency.”Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and transferred out a stream of green copper primeval essence from his Primeval Sea. The primeval essence wrapped around the Liquor worm tightly, floating it in front of Meng Fanchen and starting to invade its body.
The Liquor worm sensed the danger of survival and immediately woke up. It began to struggle violently, mobilizing its own strength to drive away Meng Fanchen's Quintessential Essence.
" This Liquor worm has such strong resistance." Meng Fanchen's expression turned solemn. He could feel that the rate at which his primeval essence was being consumed was more than twice as fast as the Green Light Gu. "No matter what, I will refine the Liquor worm.”His eyes flashed with determination as he continued to transfer his primeval essence towards the Liquor worm.
In the room of the inn, the candlelight on the table was burning quietly, illuminating the center of the room. As for the corners of the room in the distance, it was dark. The candlelight shone on Meng Fanchen's face. He had already closed his eyes and focused on dealing with the Liquor worm. A continuous stream of bronze-colored Quintessential Essence was emitted from Meng Fanchen's body like a mist. Then, it gathered together and tightly wrapped around the Liquor worm.
The Liquor worm floated in the air, less than a foot away from Meng Fanchen's face. It struggled with all its might within the encirclement of the green copper primeval essence. Time passed quietly. The candle burned lower and lower, and the candle became dimmer and dimmer. The crescent moon outside the window had slowly descended, and a new day had arrived. The morning sun shone through the gaps in the window and into the room. It was as if a light had been added to the window.
Meng Fanchen opened his eyes and looked at the Liquor worm. The Liquor worm's white body already had a tinge of green. This was the result of Meng Fanchen's hard work for half a night. But it was obvious that this green mass was not even one percent of the Liquor worm's body.
Meng Fanchen's expression was solemn, this Liquor worm's will was too strong, its resistance was extremely strong, it had surpassed the limits of a Rank one Gu worm. "This Gu worm must be the Life's Origin Gu of the Wine and Women Walker. The Wine Walker was a rank five expert, and this Liquor worm was also a rank five expert, but it had not had enough food these years, it had been hungry and full, its grade had dropped. Right now, he was only at Rank one, but his willpower was as strong as a rock!”Meng Fanchen guessed the truth.
This Liquor worm was the Wine and Pervert's Life Gu. Its original natural will had been completely refined by the Wine and Pervert. It had accompanied the Wine and Pervert all the way to the north and south, roaming the Jianghu.
After the death of the Wine and Woman Walker, his strong will remained in the Liquor worm. If Meng Fanchen wanted to refine the Liquor worm now, it would be equivalent to competing with the Wine and Pervert's willpower.
This was much harder than refining natural Gu worms. A person's will was usually higher than a natural Gu worm. At the moment of life and death, a person could erupt with power that even they could not imagine. The Wine and Woman Walker was also a strong practitioner of the Devil Dao. He was a loner and roamed the Jianghu. His will was even stronger than that of a strong practitioner of the same level in the Righteous Dao.
"It is impossible to refine this Liquor worm within a month. Unless an expert used the aura of a Rank two or three Gu to suppress this Liquor worm, suppressing its will to the minimum. With such help, I can achieve twice the result with half the effort.”Thinking of this, Meng Fanchen could not help but sigh.
He and his brother were unrelated, and his uncle's family was plotting against him. He himself had no backer, so where could he find external help? It would be fine if he had top-grade aptitude, but now that his aptitude was only middle-grade, none of the disciples were optimistic about him. Who would be willing to spend such a great effort to help him? More importantly, the Liquor worm's existence could not be exposed.
The sect did not have Gu like the Liquor worm, Meng Fanchen could not explain the origins of this Liquor worm.
If they were exposed, it was very likely that the higher-ups would notice and form a connection with the Wine and Women Walker. It was too easy to link the two together.
"According to this calculation, 17 primeval stones isn't enough, we need at least 30 primeval stones! How troublesome, but no matter how difficult it is, I still want to refine this Liquor worm.”Meng Fanchen's will was as strong as steel, he had already made up his mind to refine the Liquor worm.
Vital Gu had a huge impact on the Gu Master's future cultivation direction. Although the Liquor worm was not the most ideal choice for the Vital Gu in this world, it was much better than the Green Light Gu. It was also the best level that Meng Fanchen could reach in his current situation.
Coo, coo…At this moment, Meng Fanchen's stomach growled in protest. Meng Fanchen had not slept for the entire night and had been refining the Liquor worm with all his might. Naturally, he was hungry.
"I should eat my fill first and think about how to accumulate primeval stones.”Meng Fanchen rubbed his belly and went downstairs. When they reached the dining hall on the first floor, they chose a corner seat and sat down, ordering a few breakfast dishes. Just as she started eating, her brother's dream of success appeared.
"Brother, why are you staying at the inn? Why don't you go back to sleep at night?”He was very impolite, and his tone carried a questioning tone.
