Chapter 22: Aptitude Improved Again! Refining Second-Turn Gu Insects

Clear Sky Sect, Council Hall.

Tang Xiao sat in the main seat, frowning at the Elders below, and said:

"My Clear Sky Sect suffered this battle, although no Inner Sect disciples died, many Outer Sect and Miscellaneous disciples were injured, and the affiliated sect disciples were almost wiped out."

"Although it didn't hurt the foundation, the blow to the sect's morale was too great."

He was a bit distressed, mainly because this matter was still launched by the surrounding soul beasts.

Now that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Beast Emperor had fallen, he couldn't take several Titled Douluo to slaughter all the soul beasts in the Ancient Trace Hills and Luoyu Mountain Range.

Such thankless things were too unworthy for a sect.

Tang Xiao scanned the crowd and rubbed his temples, "Elders, do you have any strategies?"

After he obtained the seventy-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul bone, he naturally wanted to refine it as soon as possible.

However, he had to deal with the morale and Tang San's return to the sect! For a while, he had no time to refine the soul bone.

The crowd below frowned, not knowing where to start.

The Fifth Elder had a violent temper and stood up directly: "Damn it, I think it's better for me to lead the Inner Sect disciples, kill into the Ancient Trace Hills, slaughter all the soul beasts inside, and vent their anger!"

The Second Elder Tang Qingqing glared at the Fifth Elder and snorted coldly: "Are you stupid?"

"Once this kind of thing is done, won't the only reputation of our Clear Sky Sect on the continent be destroyed?"

"Soul beasts launch beast tides, we can fight back appropriately. But if we do this kind of slaughtering soul beasts, we will definitely be boycotted by soul masters across the continent!"

"Now the situation on the entire continent is turbulent, and the Spirit Hall is like a mad tiger, biting whoever it catches. What should we do if we make a move now and they take advantage of it?"

The Fifth Elder was speechless, he sat back angrily and said boldly: "This won't work, that won't work, then you say what to do."

The Third Elder's eyes flashed, and she suggested: "Sect Master, didn't we obtain a three-thousand-year-level external soul bone before?"

"We can use this as a prize and set up a disciple competition."

"We can take a few more treasures from the treasury as prizes; firstly, we can use this to divert the attention of the sect disciples; secondly, treasures move people's hearts, and distinguishing between high and low can stimulate their motivation; thirdly, it just happens to solve the Sect Master's distress of distributing that external soul bone."

The Third Elder supported Tang Long as the sect successor; she already felt that Tang Long would definitely be the first place in this disciple competition! Although Tang Hu's strength was good, compared to Tang Long, he was still a bit worse.

She thought to herself, "The fourth point is that this can also increase Tang Long's foundation!"

This statement was reasonable and well-founded, and even the Elders who supported Tang Hu couldn't pick out any thorns.

Tang Xiao saw this and had to nod in agreement.

However, he kept an eye on it and said vaguely: "Since this is the case, all disciples surnamed Tang and affiliated sect disciples can participate in this disciple conference."

"In addition, this conference will be divided into three levels of competition: Miscellaneous, Outer Sect, and Inner Sect. I will take out thousand-year Sacred Soul Liquid from the treasury as a reward for the top three in each category."

He looked at the Elders below and said: "Please, Elders, take care of this matter."

In the small wooden house, Ye Ming summoned the Blood Skull Gu, which hovered above his head.

Having absorbed the blood of more than thirty brothers, the Blood Skull Gu was now blooming with blood color, dripping with freshness.

It opened its big mouth, and streams of blood spring with fragrance poured onto Ye Ming, instantly drilling into his aperture.

After the blood spring entered the aperture, the original 55% primeval sea began to grow wildly! The power brought by more than thirty brothers directly pushed his aptitude to 60%!

It was still rising! 64%, 66%... 70%! After the aptitude was raised to 70%, the blood spring in the aperture disappeared completely.

"Actually reached 70%! This is already Grade B aptitude!" Ye Ming was happy in his heart, Grade B aptitude already had the foundation to step into the 4th Turn, and peeking into the 5th Turn was also very likely!

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It still has to be the Blood Skull Gu! It still has to be the power given by the brothers!"

The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus in his body turned slightly, and the true essence sea was filled to a 70% state.

This time, his aptitude was improved, but his soul power level did not improve, but when he absorbed the three-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring before, it fed back a lot of soul power, directly breaking his soul power level to level 27!

It must be said that the harvest from absorbing soul rings across years was undoubtedly huge.

That was Ye Ming's body having gone through several tempering, plus the Gu insects improving his strength, that he had this physique.

If it were other soul masters, if they absorbed the three-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring at the second ring, except for some cheaters, the only result would be being blown up.

Spitting out a breath of turbid air, Ye Ming put away the Blood Skull Gu hanging above his head.

In the aperture, a pile of Gu insects played in it, among which the spherical Red Iron Relic Gu attracted Ye Ming's attention.

He looked at the Red Iron Relic Gu, thinking about whether to use it directly to improve his cultivation.

After thinking about it, he canceled this plan.

Now he had reached the 2nd Turn Initial Stage and could refine 2nd Turn Gu insects. With two Wine Gu, he could just use them to refine the 2nd Turn Four-Flavor Wine Gu.

The Four-Flavor Wine Gu could temper true essence and quickly improve small realms. So using this Red Iron Relic Gu at the 2nd Turn High Stage to improve to the 2nd Turn Peak Stage would be the most efficient.

However, Ye Ming did not directly refine the Wine Gu, but chose to refine other Gu insects first.

Refining Gu insects had risks; once it failed, the Gu insects had a certain probability of being injured or even dying.

Wine Gu were very rare among 1st Turn Gu insects, and the cost of failure was too great.

Although he had the knowledge of "Complete Collection of 1-5 Turn Gu Master Applications" in his mind, he still had to hone his practical operations.

Ye Ming checked the 1st Turn Gu insects he possessed: two Moonlight Gu, two Little Light Gu, two Wine Gu, two Jade Skin Gu, one White Boar Gu, and one Black Boar Gu, totaling ten Gu insects.

After thinking about it in his mind, he quickly simulated the Gu insect refining route most suitable for him right now.

Moonlight Gu + Jade Skin Gu, could refine the 2nd Turn defensive Gu insect, Yue Nishang.

This was also the promotion route of the 5th Turn Precious Moon Light King Gu, so Ye Ming was prepared to use his first life-bound Gu, the Moonlight Gu, to refine it.

Moonlight Gu + two Little Light Gu, could refine the 2nd Turn attack Gu insect, Yumang Gu! Wine Gu + Wine Gu + sour, sweet, bitter, spicy four-flavor fine wine, could refine the 2nd Turn auxiliary Gu insect, Four-Flavor Wine Gu.

Jade Skin Gu + White Boar Gu, could refine the 2nd Turn defensive Gu insect, White Jade Gu! In this way, he would only have one Black Boar Gu left, which was the most reasonable refining route at the moment!

"Hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ming summoned the Moonlight Gu and Jade Skin Gu, and took out 1,000 primeval stones from the system storage space.

He mobilized the light red true essence in his body, integrated it into the two Gu insects, and then gently collided the two Gu insects together.

Instantly, a milky white light group appeared before his eyes. Without hesitation, Ye Ming waved his hand and threw the primeval stones into it one by one.

With the investment of primeval stones, the milky white light group's halo became more and more shining.

Ye Ming was nervous in his heart, staring tightly at the light group, not even daring to breathe, for fear of affecting the refining of the two Gu insects.

"Hum!!"

Just then, the milky white light group came with buzzing sounds, and then began to tremble! (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 23 =====
