Pa, pa, pa…
Bean-sized raindrops fell densely. It hit the verdant wooden house and made a crisp sound.
In the pond behind the house, the surface of the water was hit by the raindrops. The fish swam happily in the water, and the water grass swayed on the surface of the water. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the entire field of vision was blocked by a thick curtain of rain.
In a dimly lit room, the window was open. Meng Fanchen watched the heavy rain quietly and sighed in his heart."It's been two days and three nights." On the night three days ago, he carried three jars of wine out of the mountain gate and continued to explore the surroundings.
However, it began to rain heavily late at night. Not to mention that he was drenched, the key was that under such circumstances, he could no longer explore around.
The rain could quickly wash away the smell of alcohol. At the same time, if he were to forcefully explore under the rain, he was afraid that it would arouse suspicion. Previously, he had pretended to be depressed and drunk to hide his true motive. But never underestimate the wisdom of others. Usually, only fools would think others were stupid. Therefore, Meng Fanchen had no choice but to stop his exploration. The rain had been falling since the beginning. It was heavy or light, sparse or dense, but it had never stopped.
"This way, we won't be able to find the Liquor worm in a short period of time. To be safe, he could only refine the Green Light Gu first. In this refining process, it would be best if he could find the Liquor worm, but if he couldn't, he could only make do with it. However, this matter was also very common. There were unexpected events in the sky. Who in this world could always do things smoothly and perfectly?”Meng Fanchen's state of mind was very stable. After so many years of experience, the impetuousness in his personality had long been washed away. He closed the window and door and sat down on the bed. He slowly closed his eyes and calmed his breathing. Then, his mind sank.
In the next moment, the scene of his primordial aperture appeared in his mind. Although the primordial aperture was placed in the body, it was extremely mysterious. It was infinitely large and infinitely small.
Outside the Yuan Aperture was a layer of light membrane. The white light membrane gave off a very thin feeling, but it was actually supporting the primordial aperture.
Inside the Yuan Aperture was a sea of primeval essence.
The seawater was bronze in color, the surface of the sea was calm like a mirror, the water level was almost half the aperture's height. The entire Primeval Sea occupied 45% of the aperture. This was a Rank one Gu Master's Green Bronze Primeval Sea, every drop of seawater was primeval essence. It was Meng Fanchen's life force, the condensation of his essence, qi, and spirit.
Every drop of primeval essence was precious, because it was the foundation of a Gu Master, the source of strength. It was by relying on primeval essence that Gu Masters could refine and activate Gu worms.
Meng Fanchen's mind withdrew from the Primeval Sea. He opened his eyes and took out the Green Light Gu.
The Green Light Gu lay quietly in Meng Fanchen's palm, like a round green moon, small and exquisite, crystal clear.
With a thought, Meng Fanchen's Primal Sea in his Primal Aperture began to churn. A stream of primeval essence water broke through the surface of the sea and flowed out of his body, pouring into the Green Light Gu.
The Green Light Gu suddenly emitted a green light, trembling slightly in Meng Fanchen's palm, resisting the influx of Meng Fanchen's Quintessential Essence.
Gu were the essence of heaven and earth, the secret code of the Great Dao, and the carrier of laws. It was also a living being, born free and unrestrained, possessing its own will. Now that Meng Fanchen wanted to refine it, he wanted to erase its will. Sensing this danger, the Love Light Gu naturally resisted.
The refining process was extremely difficult.
The Green Light Gu was like a round gemstone. When the bronze primeval essence was injected into the gemstone, the edges of the gemstone were dyed green.
Then, the bronze green color began to spread to the middle of the gem. In less than three minutes, Meng Fanchen's face turned pale. A large amount of primeval essence continuously surged into the Green Light Gu, causing a feeling of weakness to continuously attack his heart.
One point, two points, three points…eight points, nine points, ten points. Ten minutes later, Meng Fanchen's Primordial Sea had consumed a whole 10% of his Primordial Qi. But on the surface of the green light Gu, the two green spots at the edge only expanded a little towards the middle.
The emotion light Gu's resistance was very tenacious. Fortunately, Meng Fanchen had expected this and was not surprised. He continued to inject primeval essence into the Green Light Gu.
Ten percent, twenty percent, thirty percent.
After another thirty minutes, Meng Fanchen's Primeval Sea was only left with fifteen percent. The green light on the Green Light Gu had expanded a little. If the entire green light was added up, it was about one-eleventh of the surface of the Green Light Gu. As for the rest, it was still the green light Gu's original light green color.
" Refining Gu is difficult." Seeing this, Meng Fanchen sighed and cut off the supply of primeval essence, not continuing to refine the Green Light Gu.
At this moment, after refining Gu for half an hour, more than half of his primeval sea had been used up, only fifteen percent of his primeval essence remained. As for the Green Light Gu, he had only refined one-eleventh of it.
And what was hard to accept was that the Green Light Gu was still emitting a light green glow. Although Meng Fanchen had stopped refining, it did not stop resisting. It continued to expel Meng Fanchen's bronze Quintessential Essence.
Meng Fanchen could clearly feel that the primeval essence that had entered the Green Light Gu was being expelled bit by bit by the Green Light Gu, dissipating outside his body. On the surface of the Green Light Gu, the entire green bronze color was also slowly shrinking.
Based on this rate of reduction, in about six hours, the Green Light Gu would be able to expel all of Meng Fanchen's primeval essence. At that time, refining this Gu worm would be no different from refining it again.
"Every time I refine Gu, it is like two armies fighting, a battle of attrition. I've only refined one-eleventh of the Gu worm, but I've used up a full thirty percent of my primeval essence. When Gu Masters refine Gu worms, they had to replenish their Primeval Sea primeval essence while refining continuously to consolidate their victory. Refining Gu worms tested not only the technique of mobilizing primeval essence, but also the patience to fight a prolonged battle.”As Meng Fanchen pondered, he took out a primeval stone from his pouch.
Gu Masters usually had two methods to replenish their primeval essence. One was natural recovery. Every once in a while, the Primeval Sea would automatically replenish primeval essence. For someone with a middle-grade aptitude like Meng Fanchen, it would take him about an hour to replenish 40% of his primeval essence. In six hours, he could recover 24% of his primeval essence. The second method was to absorb the natural primeval essence in the primeval stones.
Primeval stones were treasures of nature, they contained natural primeval essence and could be absorbed by Gu Masters.
Meng Fanchen held the primeval stone in his hand and continuously absorbed the natural primeval essence from it into his primeval sea.
The delicate radiance on the surface of the Primordial Stone slowly dimmed. However, the water level of Meng Fanchen's Primordial Sea continued to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye.
About half an hour later, the Primeval Sea recovered to 45% of its original size. At this point, the rising sea level stopped abruptly. Although there was still space in his Yuan Aperture, Meng Fanchen could no longer store more Quintessential Essence. This was the upper limit of his middle-grade aptitude.
From this, the importance of cultivation aptitude could be reflected. The higher the aptitude, the more primeval essence stored in the primeval aperture, and the faster the recovery of primeval essence.
To Meng Fanchen, to refine Gu worms and consolidate his gains, he had to absorb primeval stones. This was because the speed at which his primeval essence recovered naturally could not compare to the speed at which the Green Light Gu expelled primeval essence.
However, for Meng Chenggong, who had top-grade aptitude, he could replenish 80% of his primeval essence every hour. In six hours, he could recover 48% of his primeval essence, while the Green Light Gu could only expel 30% of his primeval essence in the same six hours.
He did not even need external help like primeval stones. He just kept refining it like this, resting a few times during this period. After a few days, he would be able to successfully refine the Green Light Gu.
Therefore, Meng Fanchen knew from the start that he had no chance of getting first place in this refinement test. This had nothing to do with strength, but talent was the first factor. The second factor was primeval stones. If there were abundant primeval stones, a person with high-grade aptitude could surpass supreme-grade and obtain first place.
"I only have six primeval stones on hand, I can't compare to people like Mo Bei and Chi Cheng who have elders supporting them. My aptitude is only middle-grade, and I can't compare to Meng Chenggong, who has top-grade aptitude. There was no chance of winning this assessment, so he might as well split his energy and search for the Liquor worm. If he could refine the Liquor worm into a vital Gu, it would be much better than the Green Light Gu. Hmm? The sound of rain outside the window became softer, as if it was about to stop. The rain had been pouring for two days and three nights. It was time to stop.”Meng Fanchen kept the Green Light Gu and got off the bed. Just as he was about to open the window, there was a knock on the door.
Xiao Hong's voice came from outside the door.""Young Master Fanchen, it's me. It has been raining for the past two days. This servant has brought you some wine and food. Young Master, eat and drink some to relieve your boredom.”
