Thinking of this, Fang Yuan could not help but look forward to it.
The increase in strength was secondary. It was mainly because after the Gu worm stepped into rank three, the progress was very slow.
It had been a long time since he saw the progress bar increase visibly.
This was only rank three.
If they reached rank seven or eight…
They might not be able to break through even after decades of bitter cultivation.
This did not include the fact that they would require many unique heavenly materials and earthly treasures to break through later, just like the five flavored wine needed for the Drunken Gu.
It would take years for him to search for those, unless he was extremely lucky.
However, what he needed to do now was to figure out where he was.
Walking out of the room, Fang Yuan found himself in the courtyard where his master lived.
Gu Zhenren was not around. After asking the disciples guarding the door, he found out that he had gone to the earth vein with the few elders.
He did not know what Gu Zhenren was going to do there.
Fang Yuan thought for a while and prepared to visit Li Tongzhou.
‘With such an accident during the assessment, the matter of entering the investigation hall was probably delayed.
‘As Li Tongzhou’s examiner, he naturally had to be more attentive.
At the same time, he could also make a trip to the scripture depository to check the information related to refining Vital Gu.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the guard disciple hurriedly said, “Junior Fang, the sect master asked you not to leave in a hurry after you wake up, and to wait for him to return.”
“Did Master say when he would return?”
“The sect master seemed to be dealing with a big matter, he did not mention it.”
“alright.”
Fang Yuan understood. “I understand, thank you Senior.”
That disciple smiled. “No need to be polite, if you are bored, you can walk around the mountain.”
“alright.”
He had to listen to his master’s words.
If that was the case, then he would think about the Vital Gu matter first.
However, he had not seen the relevant information before, and now he could not go to the scripture depository, so he might as well ask his seniors to see how they did it.
Before going to the seniors’ residence, Fang Yuan first connected the consciousness of Hunter Swallowtail Butterfly Gu in his sea of consciousness.
Hmm…
‘There was a good news, and a bad news.
The good news was that it was still in the outer sect’s forbidden ground, Luo Mu Mountain.
It did not die in the hands of a demon beast.
It was also not captured and refined again.
In fact, once a Gu worm had cultivated to a certain level, it could be released and move freely within the range of mind communication.
If one was lucky, they might even bring back one or two heavenly materials and earthly treasures when they woke up.
On the other hand, they might not be able to return for the rest of their lives…
Fang Yuan was like most Gu masters. He was very conservative in this aspect. He was used to keeping Gu worms in his acupoints like little pigs in the pen.
In the long run, even though they were less ferocious, they were much safer.
As for the bad news… It wasn’t exactly very bad, but it had chased the demon beast too deep into its territory, and would not return for a while.
Fang Yuan could not help but hold his forehead.
The Hunter Swallowtail Butterfly Gu did not have a sense of existence for so long, so he thought it would be well-behaved, but he did not expect it to cause such a huge mess.
‘That was Luo Mu Mountain.
‘When he was still bitterly cultivating in the outer sect for ten years, he had already heard of the reputation of this forbidden ground.
Among the three forbidden grounds, it was ranked first!
In the deepest parts, there were even demon beasts that could be compared to a Nascent Soul Realm Gu master!
