The two had not seen each other for many years, so there was naturally a lot of small talk.

Shi Hao had watched the Fang brothers grow up, so he was very fond of them.

After hearing that Fang Yuan was going to help him with the Song clan’s goods, he was relieved but also a little worried.

“Second Young Master, do you know how many dangerous places you will have to go through on the way to the capital? Have you really made up your mind?”

Hearing Shi Hao say this, Fang Yuan nodded firmly.

“Uncle, now that something has happened to the family, I have the responsibility as a member of the Fang clan to help overcome the difficulties.”

Hearing this, Shi Hao couldn’t help but fall silent. After a long time, he said, “Second Young Master, you have just entered the secular world. I originally didn’t want you to experience a bloodbath so early, but this old man’s body is severely injured. I really have the heart but not the strength.”

As he said this, he sighed, “Forget it. Since you have already made up his mind, I can’t stop you. Since you called me uncle, I’ll give this to you.”

Following that, Shi Hao took out a wooden box from his pocket and placed it in Fang Yuan’s palm.

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment and opened the box.

A small worm as black as ink appeared.

The system scan automatically activated.

[Soul Capture Gu]

Level: Tier 1

Type: Support

Grade: Bronze

Skill: [Soul Capturing]

…

It was actually a hatched larva?

And it was Bronze grade?

This was not cheap.

Fang Yuan carefully looked at the details of the skill, and it was even more powerful.

[Soul Capturing] : can reside in the nerve center of the opponent’s brain, can be used to control the mind and control the opponent like a puppet. (cannot control if the opponent’s spirit essence is higher than your own)

The amount of a Gu master’s spirit essence is usually calculated according to the Gu worms in the Gu master’s acupoints.

The more Gu worms, the higher the level, the higher the total spirit essence a Gu master has.

Fang Yuan’s acupoints has a liquid spirit essence lake, so it can be said that at this point, he can control most Gu masters at the third layer of Foundation Establishment or even some weaker fourth layer Gu masters!

If he used the Soul Capturing Gu for himself, Fang Yuan would be invincible in his realm. This was something that many so-called geniuses could not do.

However…

It was too valuable.

Such a Gu worm could not be appraised according to its grade.

With such a tyrannical skill, even a Silver rank Gu worm could not be exchanged for it.

Shi Hao saw the hesitation in Fang Yuan’s eyes, and he smiled. “Second Young Master, this is my intention as your uncle. The journey is dangerous, you must return alive.”

Fang Yuan was moved. “Then I will accept your request.”

Shi Hao laughed heartily, explaining to him the matters he had to pay attention to on the way to the capital.

Fang Yuan listened attentively, memorizing the important points.

In this world, the threshold to become a Gu master was not high. As long as one opened their acupoints, they could nurture Gu worms and start their cultivation journey.

Thus, this also resulted in an extreme lack of cultivation resources.

Most of the resources were concentrated in the hands of the large clans like the sects and the imperial family.

The rest of the lone cultivators could only explore the dangerous areas, risking their lives to find one or two low level Gu worms.

However, there were many powerful mutated beasts in the wild. If they encountered them, they would die.
