Chapter 33 - Outer Sect Competition (2/2)
[Acid Ant Gu]
Level: Tier 1
Type: Attack
Quality: White Stone
Skill: [Corrosive Acid]
…
This round of trial was divided into two parts. One was to subdue the Gu worm, and the other was to cultivate the Gu worm.
Although it was only a stage one Gu worm in the larva stage, and it was only at the White Stone stage, there were still difficulties.
The time limit could filter out a large number of body refining stage disciples.
And the subsequent nurturing stage would test the disciples’ talent.
Those with high talent naturally absorbed spirit essence faster than others, unless one had a deep foundation, and could continuously inject spirit essence into the Acid Ant Gu for a day and a night.
This was unrealistic, and even a fourth or fifth layer Foundation Establishment disciple couldn’t do this.
This was a competition of endurance.
Whoever absorbed spirit essence faster had an advantage.
But this wasn’t a challenge for Fang Yuan at all.
He didn’t even need to use his strength to prove it.
He casually fed it a drop of liquid spirit essence, and the Acid Ant Gu obediently listened, allowing Fang Yuan to absorb it.
Sometimes, the power of money was more useful than a brute force.
After throwing it into his acupoints, the medicinal power that had not been completely absorbed and the blood lotus essence mixed together, swarming into the Acid Ant Gu’s body.
In just fifteen minutes, a bell rang in Fang Yuan’s mind.
[Ding, your Acid Ant Gu’s level has increased. You have received the enhancement of the skill Acid!]
It had leveled up just like that?
Fang Yuan was a little surprised, but it did not matter if he thought about it carefully.
The quality of the Acid Ant Gu was low to begin with, and its level was only rank one, so the resources needed to level it up were very little.
Since he had already completed his goal, Fang Yuan raised his hand to signal for the examiner to come and examine it.
Soon, the examiner came to a conclusion.
“Disciple number 15437, Fang Yuan, has successfully tamed his Acid Ant Gu… rank two?”
The examiner’s eyes showed a hint of shock, “This is impossible, could it be that I saw wrongly?”
Then, he did not believe it and checked again.
He still got the same result.
A few disciples who had just made their move and were still studying how to tame it looked at him in surprise.
We haven’t even started, and you are already done?
The examiner was also in disbelief. He could not hold it in for a moment and said, “How about this, you give me the Gu worm, I will bring it to the elder to take a look, and I will give you the conclusion later?”
“Thank you.” Fang Yuan handed the Acid Ant Gu to him in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
The examiner left in a hurry and ran to the main hall of the sect building in front of the square.
He went upstairs and presented this Gu worm.
“Elders, a disciple only spent fifteen minutes to raise the Acid Ant Gu to rank two. I don’t know if he fed it with a forbidden drug, but I can’t make up my mind. Please take a look at it, elders and Sect Master.”
“Oh?”
An old man with red hair and beard asked in suspicion. He took the Acid Ant Gu and sniffed it, “The smell of the medicine is very strong. It’s the Scarlet Yang pill and wild essence pill produced in our sect. It should be the result of the medicine sinking into the acupoints after taking the pill and not dispersing.”
“Could it be the result of using an evil cultivation technique to nourish it with blood Qi?”
Someone raised a question, then looked at the red-haired old man’s expression and explained, “It’s not that I don’t trust Fourth Elder’s judgment, it’s just that 15 minutes is too fast.”
Another elder looked at him and retracted his gaze, “There’s no problem.”
That person nodded slowly. “Since First Elder has said so, let’s arrange the rankings according to the rules.”
“Yes.”
The examiner took back the Gu worm from the fourth elder and hurried downstairs.
At this time, the middle-aged man sitting in the main seat suddenly laughed lightly.
“This assessment is getting interesting..”
