Chapter 3

【Ding, reward is being distributed, Yuelan Flower Sea Spirit Spring baptism started!】

The moment the system sound rang in his mind, Ye Ming found that the scene in front of him had changed again.

In front of him was a blue Yuelan Flower Sea. In the center of this flower sea, a wide spirit spring river flowed slowly, dividing the entire Yuelan Flower Sea into two halves.

Yuelan Flower, the petals are like crescent moons, presenting a clear and elegant blue-pink color, and are the food for many Gu insects.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming felt a bit excited.

This spirit spring is the path to opening the aperture for a Gu Master! As long as you withstand the pressure of the spirit spring and walk ten steps, you can use the spirit spring and the Hope Gu hidden in the Yuelan Flower to open the aperture and step into the path of Gu Master cultivation! Rolling up his trouser legs, Ye Ming stepped into the river water. The river water was not deep, barely reaching his calf.

A wave of pressure rushed toward him, and he was almost forced out of the river water by this pressure.

"Hoo!"

Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his figure, he walked forward slowly.

The front was like a thick swamp, and every step took a huge amount of effort.

Just as he was struggling to move, some plain white light spots flew out from the Yuelan Flower Sea on both sides. These light spots flew up and directly merged into his body.

Ye Ming instantly felt the pressure greatly reduced, and he walked out two or three steps in one breath.

During this process, plain white light spots flew out from the Yuelan Flower Sea from time to time and merged into his body.

This is Hope Gu! When encountering a predicament, give your heart to hope.

Under the pressure of the spirit spring, these Hope Gu gathered in his abdomen, three inches below the navel, and coiled into a ball.

"Twenty-four, twenty-five... twenty-seven."

When he walked to the twenty-seventh step, Ye Ming had already reached his limit.

"Boom!"

He felt the light ball full of Hope Gu in his abdomen explode suddenly. Instantly, it was as if he had ascended to the peak of the clouds, and his whole body felt soft.

He focused his mind and looked inside, finding that an aperture had appeared out of thin air below his navel.

Aperture opening successful! "Tsk, same as the Venerable, Grade C aptitude."

Although it was only Grade C aptitude, Ye Ming did not have the slightest look of discouragement.

Feeling the true essence slowly produced in the aperture in his body, he found that his strength had also increased a lot! Most importantly, the moment the true essence was produced, the soul power in his body actually rioted, breaking through in one fell swoop and rising to the level of a level ten Soul Scholar.

This was truly an unexpected joy!

The aperture is extremely mysterious. Although it is placed in Ye Ming's body, it does not share the same space as the internal organs. It seems infinitely large, yet infinitely small.

In the Gu World, some call it the Purple Mansion, some call it the Flowery Pool, and more people call it the Primeval Sea Aperture.

The entire aperture is like a sphere, with white light flowing on the surface, which is a layer of light film. This layer of light film is the light condensed after the Hope Gu exploded earlier.

Inside the aperture is the Primeval Sea. The sea water is as smooth as a mirror, presenting a emerald green color, yet it is extremely thick, with a bronze luster.

This is the bronze true essence that only a First-Turn Gu Master has, also known as the Bronze Sea.

Every drop of sea water is true essence, representing the condensation of Ye Ming's essence, energy, and spirit.

The sea surface is less than half of the aperture, only 44% high, which is also the limitation of Grade C aptitude.

If there is no special opportunity, with Grade C aptitude, one can cultivate to at most Third-Turn in this life.

Ye Ming was noncommittal about this, as there are many Gu that can improve aptitude.

The most famous one is the Fourth-Turn Gu insect, Blood Skull Gu, once used by the Refining Path Venerable!

Use the blood of blood relatives to improve one's aptitude! At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Ye Ming's mind. His current identity is a servant disciple of the Clear Sky Sect, but it is also a branch of the Clear Sky Sect.

The Clear Sky Sect is a typical large sect that maintains sect operation through blood ties.

Speaking of which, the entire Clear Sky Sect is his blood relative.

If he used the Blood Skull Gu to absorb the entire sect, his aptitude would probably reach Grade A, wouldn't it be easy? "It's also a coincidence, that Tang San is still the cousin of this body of Tang Yeming!"

Ye Ming smiled slightly and whispered, "The road ahead will be very exciting."

【Ding, Refining Path Venerable roleplay degree reached 5%, reward: one copy of "1-5 Turn Gu Master Application Encyclopedia", system storage space opened.】

Hearing this sound, Ye Ming was happy.

Unexpectedly, just a sentence spoken with feeling, which happened to fit the Venerable's quotes, actually increased the roleplay degree. After thinking about it, he raised his head slightly and recited: "It's just a bit of wind and frost."

After waiting for a while, the system had no reaction at all.

Rubbing the tip of his nose, Ye Ming thought to himself, it seems that the way of deliberately reciting the Venerable's quotes to increase the roleplay degree doesn't work.

Then check the rewards!

He focused slightly and felt that a system storage space as large as a football field had been opened.

And at this time, a mysterious piece of information was directly injected into his mind, which was the "1-5 Turn Gu Master Application Encyclopedia"! This information was very huge, and before Ye Ming could savor it in detail, he had a premonition that he had completed the aperture opening and was about to leave this mysterious space! Looking at the Yuelan Flowers all over the ground, his figure moved, and he frantically pulled up these Yuelan Flowers and threw them into the system storage space.

Yuelan Flowers are the food that many Gu insects love!

You won't find this shop after passing this village! Instantly, a piece of plain white Hope Gu was startled.

The system storage space cannot store living things, so these Hope Gu could not be put in.

Because there was no container, after he collected the spirit spring under his feet into the system storage space, it directly merged into the ground.

Ye Ming simply plucked the Yuelan Flower Sea.

His hands were almost pulling out afterimages, and countless Yuelan Flowers were frantically collected by him into the system storage space.

"Hum!!"

Just as Ye Ming pulled up a handful of Yuelan Flowers by the roots, the scene in front of him changed instantly, and he returned to the wooden bed in the small hut.

Looking at the handful of Yuelan Flowers he was holding, a smile appeared on his face.

With these things, he didn't have to worry about the food for the Moonlight Gu rewarded by the system.

"System, claim the Moonlight Gu!"

【Ding! Reward distributed.】

A Moonlight Gu, crystal clear on the outside, curved like a moon, and like blue crystal, appeared in his hand.

Its weight is very light, comparable to the weight of a thin piece of paper, like the size of an ordinary jade pendant.

Ye Ming could even see the palm prints on his palm through the Moonlight Gu.

This is a First-Turn offensive Gu insect, Moonlight Gu! The Moonlight Gu rewarded by the system does not need to be tamed, and Ye Ming's refining was very simple. The bronze sea in the aperture shook, and he directly refined this Moonlight Gu.

The Moonlight Gu is not a natural Gu insect, but a Gu cultivated by the Guyue Clan using secret methods, and it is the iconic Gu insect of the Guyue Clan.

After refining, this Moonlight Gu "swished" and directly fell to the middle of Ye Ming's forehead, forming a light blue crescent mark.

In order to avoid being ostentatious, Ye Ming thought, and this crescent mark hid under the skin.

The Moonlight Gu needs to eat Yuelan petals, two meals a day, four petals in total.

Ye Ming looked at the Yuelan Flowers in the system space and was extremely satisfied.

"When I have time, I must organize those Yuelan Flowers with complete roots and see if they can be transplanted to the outside world."

Unfortunately, Yuelan Flowers can only maintain their original state in the system storage space and cannot continue to grow, otherwise he could use the system space as a cultivation base.

After obtaining the Moonlight Gu, Ye Ming was a bit itchy.

He looked at the wooden stool in the room, his intention moved the Moonlight Gu to his palm, and the true essence in the aperture instantly poured into the Moonlight Gu.

Ye Ming focused and waved his palm, a palm-sized dark blue moon blade flashed across the air, and silently, the wooden stool was directly split into two halves.

The break was as smooth as a mirror! The power was not small, but the 44% emerald green true essence in the bronze sea in his body was directly consumed by 10%.

With his current First-Turn Initial Stage Gu Master cultivation, four moon blades would be enough to squeeze him dry!

"The limitation of Grade C aptitude is still too big."

"However, killing a soul master without soul power protection is definitely no problem!"

Feeling the increased strength, he was more confident in his next plan!

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Ming began to receive the last reward, "1-5 Turn Gu Master Application Encyclopedia"! Man is the spirit of all things, and Gu is the essence of heaven and earth.

The path of Gu pays attention to "raising", "using", "refining"...
