Chapter 8: Claiming a Series of System Rewards!

In this one day of time, his role-playing percentage as the Refining Path Venerable surged directly from ten percent to twenty-five percent!

Ye Ming opened the system and carefully examined the rewards.

【Role-playing percentage reached ten percent, rewarding one First Turn Wine Gu, one First Turn White Boar Gu, one First Turn Little Light Gu, and one Spirit Spring Baptism! Role-playing percentage reached fifteen percent, rewarding one thousand Primeval Stones and one Second Rank Water Shield Gu! Role-playing percentage reached twenty percent, rewarding one Rank Four Blood Skull Gu! Role-playing percentage reached twenty-five percent, rewarding one Second Rank Shadow Follower Gu, two thousand Primeval Stones, and the "Complete Collection of Body Combat Techniques"!】

Among these, he had already refined the Blood Skull Gu rewarded at twenty percent, so three rewards remained!

Looking at these rewards, Ye Ming could no longer hold back and clicked to claim them directly.

【Ding, the ten percent Refining Path Venerable role-playing reward has been issued!】

Ye Ming reached out his hand, and three Gu insects of different shapes instantly landed on his palm.

The First Turn Wine Gu was shaped like a silkworm baby, its whole body emitting a pearl-like white light; it was a bit chubby and very cute.

This Wine Gu could refine the True Essence within the body and was a rare treasure among First Turn Gu insects!

The most important thing was that the Wine Gu only needed to be fed wine, making it extremely easy to raise.

The White Boar Gu looked like a ladybug, milky white all over, with a small head, a fat belly, and a shiny shell.

Its function was to transform the Gu Master's body, fundamentally increasing the Gu Master's strength; this strength would not disappear even if the Gu insect died.

Finally, the Little Light Gu, which looked like a five-pointed star and was the size of a fingernail, was an auxiliary Gu insect; when used in conjunction with the Moonlight Gu, it could increase its power by one fold! The Gu insects rewarded by the system did not have autonomous consciousness, and the moment Ye Ming made contact, the True Essence in his body directly refined them.

The Wine Gu and White Boar Gu burrowed into his aperture, playing in the Bronze Sea, while the Little Light Gu landed on his right palm, transforming into a small five-pointed star mark.

Before Ye Ming could carefully experience the wonders of the three Gu insects, the space before him suddenly changed.

However, having the experience of the previous Yuelan Flower Sea Spirit Spring cleansing, he was not too surprised.

When he opened his eyes again, he found a tall waterfall before him, with Spirit Spring flowing within the waterfall, filled with primeval power! Below this waterfall, there was a huge bluestone platform! His figure instantly appeared on the bluestone platform, and the Spirit Spring rushed toward him like sharp blades.

"Hiss!"

Ye Ming gasped in pain, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone platform, struggling to maintain his posture.

He discovered that as this Spirit Spring landed on his body, waves also rose in the True Essence Sea within him, beginning to wash against that layer of water film.

At the same time, some impurities in his body were slowly expelled along with the Spirit Spring's washing, and his physical fitness was also slowly increasing! The increase in strength filled Ye Ming with great joy; ignoring the pain, he frantically resisted the falling Spirit Spring.

Such an opportunity was rare; the longer he resisted, the greater his harvest would be!

The True Essence Sea in his aperture surged with waves, causing the Wine Gu and White Boar Gu to "whoosh" and dive into the bottom of the sea.

Under the washing of the Spirit Spring, Ye Ming's original pale green True Essence began to turn into a deep green! There was no passage of time in this space; he only felt that a long time had passed, and all the True Essence in the True Essence Sea had transformed into deep green!

A faint crisp sound came from within his body, and his cultivation directly stepped into the First Turn High-tier! At this moment, the Spirit Spring above his head gradually stopped.

The space shifted, and when Ye Ming opened his eyes, he had returned to his small wooden house.

This jumpy scene made him feel a bit unreal. However, feeling his increased strength and the deep green True Essence in his body, a smile appeared on his face again.

"With this Spirit Spring Baptism, my cultivation has broken through again, and my soul power level must have also increased quite a bit," Ye Ming thought, rubbing his chin. "But I will only know that after obtaining my first soul ring."

"System, claim the fifteen percent role-playing reward!!"

【Ding, reward issued, one thousand Primeval Stones have been automatically deposited into the Storage Space.】

Ye Ming nodded secretly; this saved him trouble. He stretched out his palm, and a small ladybug that was transparent overall, like a water droplet, slowly landed in his palm.

This Water Shield Gu was a defensive Gu insect; among Second Rank Gu insects, its defensive power was excellent, even better than the Second Rank White Jade Gu formed by the combined refinement of the White Boar Gu and Jade Skin Gu.

"Now that I am at First Turn High-tier, although it is a bit strenuous to activate the Water Shield Gu, at critical moments, it can definitely save my life!"

Ye Ming was overjoyed and, activating his True Essence, directly refined this Water Shield Gu.

With the final twenty-five percent reward remaining, he claimed it all at once.

【Ding, reward issued, two thousand Primeval Stones have been deposited into the System Space.】

The Second Rank Shadow Follower Gu was a black Gu insect that looked like a cricket, capable of turning the body into a mass of thick darkness, allowing one to enter the darkness for a short time.

This Gu insect raised Ye Ming's life-saving ability by another notch! With a thought, he refined the Shadow Follower Gu and threw it into his aperture.

After doing all this, a piece of information instantly appeared in his mind, directly making him dizzy and his vision blurred.

"Ugh!"

After a long while, Ye Ming finally received the information in his mind and recovered.

The "Complete Collection of Body Combat Techniques," containing various top-tier combat techniques, had now been directly poured into his mind like force-feeding.

Fists, palms, elbows, legs... every part was a sharp weapon! If body combat techniques were used well, they would definitely be a top-tier skill! "However, these are theoretical knowledge after all; I still need to thoroughly master these techniques in battle."

Ye Ming pondered secretly. Tang Long was about to summon the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect to enter the mountains to hunt Soul Beasts, and he had to take this opportunity to hone himself and thoroughly master these body combat techniques! Thus, all system rewards were claimed, but there was one thing he hadn't done yet.

He took a green jade stone from his bosom, looking at the Jade Skin Gu wrapped inside, feeling extremely excited.

The Jade Skin Gu was a First Turn defensive Gu insect that could instantly turn the body into jade skin, with considerable defensive power.

It was also the material for the combined refinement of the Second Rank White Jade Gu!

What excited Ye Ming was that this Gu insect was one that had appeared on the Douluo Continent! This meant that there might be other magical Gu insects on the Douluo Continent! In the future, he could not only hunt Soul Beasts to obtain skills but also capture Gu insects to perfect himself! A faint blue light glowed on his right hand, and Ye Ming carefully used the Moonlight Gu to shave away the green jade stone.

Layer after layer of stone powder fell off, and the Jade Skin Gu became clearer and clearer.

After a moment, the Jade Skin Gu appeared completely in his hand!

Ye Ming mobilized a bit of True Essence and invaded its body; a faint trace of consciousness was resisting him.

This made him overjoyed; this Jade Skin Gu was still alive!

However, long-term self-sealing had reduced the Jade Skin Gu's resistance to the lowest point.

Immediately, True Essence surged in frantically, directly crushing this weak consciousness and successfully refining the Jade Skin Gu!

"Phew~ succeeded!"

Sending the Jade Skin Gu into the True Essence Sea to be nurtured, Ye Ming let out a long breath.

With his Gu insects increasing, he finally had some strength.

Looking at the few Gu insects playing in the True Essence Sea, a strange look appeared in Ye Ming's eyes.

"In five years, this Mythical Talent, I might not be unable to obtain it!"
