Chapter 14: Opening the Gu Insect Gift Package! The Lively True Essence Sea

In the village, inside a small wooden hut.

After Ye Ming returned, he first spent ten Primeval Stones to restore his True Essence Sea to its Peak state.

After two instances of aptitude enhancement, the surface of the sea within his Primeval Sea had already risen to a height of fifty-five percent.

Fifty-five percent True Essence allowed his True Essence recovery ability and cultivation speed to both increase significantly.

"Bringing Tang Yu back this time is, firstly, to point the way for the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. Secondly, the Clear Sky Sect will inevitably have rewards, which will give me more opportunities!"

Ye Ming stroked his chin, pondering the benefits he could obtain within the Clear Sky Sect.

To him now, the greatest opportunity within the Clear Sky Sect was those beloved friends and brothers, which could be used to improve his aptitude! If he could raise his Gu Master cultivation aptitude to Grade A, his cultivation speed would surely skyrocket.

In this world of the Douluo Continent, once his Gu Master cultivation broke through, it could drive the improvement of the martial soul power within his body.

This opportunity must be firmly grasped!

However, the tasks of the Reincarnation Secret Realm cannot be abandoned either; at least get a guaranteed reward first! The strangeness of the Extraordinary Talent is no weaker than Gu Master and martial soul power!

After clearing up the thoughts in his mind, Ye Ming stood up, stretched out his right hand, and summoned his martial soul.

The originally short Forging Hammer had now turned into an imposing hammer half a person's height! On this hammer, dark golden stripes flowed, looking just like the skin color of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, appearing incredibly strange.

The energy contained within the thousand-year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was unimaginably vast; it not only raised his martial soul power level but also stimulated his martial soul to undergo a positive change.

At the same time, the first soul skill obtained was a thousand-year soul skill, and its power was equally astonishing! With a wave of his hand, the Dark Gold Haotian Hammer martial soul dissipated.

Ye Ming pondered to himself; an ordinary Soul Master's first Soul Ring could absorb a soul beast of at most around four hundred years. This time, he had thoroughly entered the sight of the Clear Sky Sect's upper echelons.

"It can be considered as having both pros and cons!"

"But as long as I am strong enough, I won't have to worry or be afraid anymore!"

Sitting cross-legged on the bed again, Ye Ming prepared to claim the system rewards.

"A 1st-3rd Turn Gu Master gift package, a full ten Gu insects!"

"Give me some Gu insects that increase cultivation!"

He rubbed his hands with excitement and then directly claimed the reward.

【Ding, five thousand Primeval Stones have been distributed to the System Space.】

Ye Ming sensed it; there were already eight thousand Primeval Stones in his System Space.

However, he didn't think it was too many.

Primeval Stones contain pure origin power; in his world, Primeval Stones are the main currency! Like the gold standard, it is unshakable.

Gu Masters below the 5th Turn cannot communicate with Heaven and Earth Origin Power to restore their True Essence Sea. Without special Gu insects, once the True Essence in their body is exhausted, besides the True Essence Sea recovering on its own, they can only rely on Primeval Stones to recover.

Moreover, the raising, using, and refining of Gu insects all require a large amount of Primeval Stones.

Just taking the refining of the 1st Turn Jade Skin Gu and White Boar Gu into the 2nd Turn White Jade Gu as an example, without considering failure, it requires at least five hundred Primeval Stones!

For him, the more Primeval Stones, the better.

After glancing at the Primeval Stones, Ye Ming turned his gaze back to the system.

The Gu insect reward was the main event!

A series of messages scrolled across the screen instantly.

【Obtained one 1st Turn Wine Gu!】

【Obtained one 1st Turn Bronze Relic Gu!】

【Obtained one 1st Turn Moonlight Gu!】

【Obtained one 1st Turn Little Light Gu!】

【Obtained one 1st Turn Jade Skin Gu!】

【Obtained one 1st Turn Black Boar Gu!】

"You've got to be kidding! Is my luck this bad?"

Looking at the information for the six 1st Turn Gu insects displayed on the system panel, Ye Ming's face turned dark.

This was a 1st-3rd Turn Gu gift package!

How could it just give six 1st Turn Gu insects! Continuing to look down, Ye Ming's mood finally improved.

【Obtained one 2nd Turn Hidden Scale Gu!】

【Obtained one 2nd Turn Red Iron Relic Gu!】

【Obtained one 3rd Turn Thunder Wing Gu!】

【Obtained one 3rd Turn Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus!】

After the ten messages finished scrolling, Ye Ming let out a long breath.

"Both 2nd Turn and 3rd Turn Gu insects are here, this is acceptable!"

【Ding, rewards distributed.】

The next moment, ten Gu insects of various shapes suddenly appeared, making the small wooden hut lively.

Among the 1st Turn Gu insects, he already had the Little Light Gu, Moonlight Gu, Wine Gu, and Jade Skin Gu.

However, these extra 1st Turn Gu insects could just be used as refining materials for Gu insects after the 2nd Turn.

As for the Black Boar Gu, its function was the same as the White Boar Gu, also slowly increasing the Gu Master's own strength.

Every period of time, it needed to be fed pork; it was considered a very easy Gu insect to raise.

Among the 1st Turn Gu insects, the one that satisfied Ye Ming the most was the Bronze Relic Gu!

The Bronze Relic Gu, spherical and thumb-sized, was a consumable Gu insect that could directly raise a 1st Turn Gu Master by one small realm!

The most important thing was that this Gu insect had no side effects! Now Ye Ming's cultivation was at the 1st Turn High-tier; if he used this Bronze Relic Gu, his cultivation could instantly reach the 1st Turn Peak! If he wanted to break through to the 2nd Turn, using this Bronze Relic Gu would be useless. This Gu insect was a booster for cultivation and could not achieve the effect of breaking through a realm.

Even so, Ye Ming was still incredibly happy.

Among the two 2nd Turn Gu insects, the Red Iron Relic Gu was the same as the Bronze Relic Gu, but it required the Gu Master to reach 2nd Turn cultivation to use it.

As for the Hidden Scale Gu, it was definitely a Gu insect that some people dreamed of!

The greatest function of this Gu is that it can turn one invisible! It even turns the clothes and such on one's body invisible along with them.

However, the Hidden Scale Gu is only Second Rank and cannot hide one's scent, so there is still a possibility of being discovered.

But for Ye Ming, it is still an excellent Gu!

"With this Hidden Scale Gu, I will be able to fish for more benefits within the Clear Sky Sect!"

Ye Ming felt joyful in his heart; although he is currently only First Turn and his True Essence cannot support the consumption of a Second Rank Gu for too long, this problem will be solved very soon!

The last two 3rd Turn Gu, the Thunder Wing Gu and the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus, are what make him the most excited.

The Thunder Wing Gu is an auxiliary-type Gu that can condense a pair of lightning wings, allowing a Gu Master to possess the ability to fly for a short period of time!

Flight—a word that makes his heart beat fiercely!

In the Douluo Continent, apart from special flying-type martial souls and Soul Beasts, one must possess the strength of a Soul Douluo or even a Title Douluo to be able to fly!

Yet, after obtaining the Thunder Wing Gu, he will be able to achieve this.

Although his 55% First Turn High-tier True Essence will probably only allow him to fly for half a minute, that is still flying!

Suppressing the excitement in his heart to go and try it out, Ye Ming cast his gaze toward the last 3rd Turn Gu, which is also the most precious Gu in this Gu gift package.

The Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu, known as the mobile primeval spring!

After refining it, even during battle, the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu can generate True Essence in the aperture at any time to replenish the True Essence Sea!

Ye Ming is currently a First Turn High-tier Gu Master; consuming True Essence to use the Moonlight Gu, he can fire at most twenty or thirty Moon Blades. But with the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu, his recovery will definitely be overflowing, and it will be fine for him to use Moon Blades unscrupulously.

Even for a Second Rank Gu, if he is a bit frugal, he will have absolutely no need to worry about the problem of True Essence consumption.

This Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu can even produce Primeval Stones! This time, he has struck it rich again!

To prevent others from seeing, Ye Ming mobilized the True Essence in his body, instantly refined these Gu, and stuffed them into his True Essence Sea!

Now, within his True Essence Sea, the 4th Turn Blood Skull Gu floats on the surface, while the 3rd Turn Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus resides in the center of the sea, emitting dense True Essence and causing the other Gu to circle around it.

The Thunder Wing Gu emits lightning from its body, speeding across the surface of the sea; the Hidden Scale Gu, which resembles a fish fossil, floats leisurely on the seabed; the White Boar Gu and Black Boar Gu have their heads pressed against each other, beginning to wrestle... what a lively scene.
