Chapter 189: The Excited Long Clan High-Level Officials
As soon as this statement was made, not surprisingly, all the clan elders breathed rapidly, showing greedy gazes.
One had to know that although Gu worms could be passed down from generation to generation, the first person to blood-contract them always had the highest tacit understanding, and the loyalty was also the highest, without any risk of backlash.
Given this characteristic, whoever came to test the ability of the dragon blood battle Gu would basically own this top-grade Gu worm with ten thousand materials. Who could not be excited? The temptation was simply too great.
All the clan elders were out of composure, their expressions crazy, and they no longer had the prestige of the past.
"This is not very good, right? This is the Gu worm of the Western Lands Long Clan. We just detained it like this?"
The fourth elder Long Lin, who was copying the Gu formula, raised her head at this time, her face strange.
"What's not good about it?" The Great Elder immediately looked at her and shouted loudly: "Just say it was lost by accident."
"That's right, just say it was lost." The remaining clan elders also responded one after another. Their opinions were surprisingly consistent, determined to blacken this top-grade dragon blood battle Gu.
The corners of Long Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Lost? They could think of it, they were even too lazy to think of a clumsy excuse?
Just a few steps away, and it was lost by accident? Fooling ghosts? I fear even a fool wouldn't believe it, right?
"It's no problem for us to blacken this Gu worm, but what I'm curious about is why Long Xuan didn't blood-contract this Gu worm?"
"This is a heaven-defying Gu species with ten thousand materials. Is he not tempted at all?" Long Lin asked curiously again.
"This... I don't know either. Maybe he refined two dragon blood battle Gu, and being greedy for one more is not in line with the rules." Long Wanli said uncertainly.
Long Xuan walked too fast, so he didn't know why Long Xuan didn't blood-contract this dragon blood battle Gu at all.
According to the unwritten rules in the past, the finished products handed over by the creator of the Gu formula belonged to the person himself if they were blood-contracted, and belonged to the family if they were not blood-contracted, and the family gave contribution rewards.
It had always been like this in the past. The earth-mover Gu and straw Gu handed over by Long Xuan were all blood-contracted before being handed over, and were returned to him after testing the strength. I didn't expect that he didn't blood-contract this dragon blood battle Gu this time, which was indeed a bit puzzling.
In fact, Long Xuan had also thought about this problem for a long time. The dragon blood battle Gu was powerful without a doubt, but the pity was that the dragon blood battle Gu and his own Gu worms had conflicts, and they were very serious conflicts.
After using the transformation ability of the dragon blood battle Gu, the volume of the Gu cultivator's body would become larger, and the body would also be covered with bone spurs, grow a dragon tail, and grow sharp claws.
But he happened to wear a layer of unbreakable soul armor, and the growing claws and bone spurs were either suffocated inside and couldn't come out, or forcibly broke the soul armor.
The dragon blood battle Gu and the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm's abilities had a great conflict and couldn't be combined at all.
He could only choose one between the two and couldn't have both.
Through long-term comparison, Long Xuan finally chose the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.
Although the dragon blood battle Gu was a Gu formula with ten thousand materials, it was strong to an outrageous degree.
But it was not that a Gu formula with more materials was necessarily stronger than a Gu formula with fewer materials. This was by no means an absolute thing.
Through repeated comparisons, Long Xuan discovered that although the material quantity of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm was far less than that of the dragon blood battle Gu, its upper limit was far higher than that of the dragon blood battle Gu.
The dragon blood battle Gu was strong in physical defense, and other special attacks could not be defended.
And the soul armor created by the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm could defend against soul attacks, spiritual attacks, sonic attacks, illusion attacks, fire attacks, cold attacks, curse attacks... everything could be defended.
The defense of the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor was all-around, and it could defend against all attacks in this world.
As for whether the defensive power of the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor was higher or the defensive power of the dragon blood battle Gu was higher, the defensive power of the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor was still a bit stronger.
Because the upper limit of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm was related to the spirit tree leaves it swallowed. The higher the grade of the spirit tree, the stronger the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.
If he found a pile of heaven-grade spirit trees for it to swallow, the silk it spat out would definitely be stronger than the defensive power of the dragon blood battle Gu.
And this kind of defensive power had no upper limit, and would infinitely superimpose strength with the increase of high-grade spirit trees. This characteristic was enough to make the upper limit of the Heavenly Dream Soul Armor's defensive power throw the dragon blood battle Gu several streets away.
Although the dragon blood battle Gu had many powerful attack abilities compared to the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm, it could not be adjusted in Long Xuan's eyes.
In Long Xuan's eyes, defensive power was always the priority because he was afraid of death, and he was not short of attack ability.
The most important point was that after using the dragon blood battle Gu to transform into a half-dragon, the body became a circle larger, and the growing bone spurs and tail would definitely break the clothes. At that time, wouldn't he be naked? Running naked everywhere? Long Xuan thought with a clear circuit in his brain.
So no matter how he compared, Long Xuan had no reason to abandon the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.
Then this dragon blood battle Gu could only be eliminated and was excluded from his blood-contract list.
Next, not surprisingly, a sound of arguing rang out in the conference room because of the ownership of this dragon blood battle Gu. Facing the top-grade Gu worm with ten thousand materials, they didn't want to give up, and all wanted to get the ownership of the dragon blood battle Gu, arguing until the roof was about to be lifted.
Long Wanli covered his ears and watched with a smile, without any intention of joining the fight.
Looking
Looking at his expression, it was as if... he were watching a clown!
Just as everyone was arguing heatedly and on the verge of coming to blows, a majestic voice rang out from the sky: "Stop arguing, all of you. I want this Dragon Blood Battle Gu."
The voice carried an undisguised excitement, and then it vanished.
The room fell silent instantly. Everyone stopped arguing, their expressions frozen. The room, which had been deafening just a moment ago, now became deathly quiet; it was so still that one could hear a pin drop.
Well, that's that; no one needs to argue anymore, as the Ancestor has claimed it.
Only then did they realize that a top-grade Gu worm of this level was not something they could covet; it was bound to belong to the strongest Gu King Ancestor in the clan.
The most powerful top-grade Gu worms would always maximize their value in the hands of the clan's Gu King; it was a waste of time for them to be arguing so foolishly.
It was also because they had been blinded by greed and had lost their usual composure, failing to think of this. Now, thinking back on how they had just been arguing, they looked like clowns—it was incredibly embarrassing.
Seeing Long Wanli looking at their group with a smile, his eyes filled with mockery, everyone became enraged.
It was intentional; he must have done it on purpose. He knew this Gu worm would definitely belong to the Ancestor, yet he used words to tempt them, making them lose face and argue with each other, while he hid on the side, smiling and watching the show. It was simply too much.
No wonder he hadn't competed for the Dragon Blood Battle Gu just now, acting as if he had no interest at all. They had all been played by this dog of a man!
Some time later, Western Lands, Black Stone City, Long Clan Residence.
A large group of Gu cultivators with red eyes gathered together, their fingers trembling as they flipped through the long Gu formula in their hands. Their eyes were excited to the extreme, and the sound of rapid breathing filled the entire room.
"Success, success, it really is a success! Hahaha..."
"This kid Long Xuan truly didn't disappoint me. He actually researched it, and it only took him less than two years. It is truly the fortune of our clan, the fortune of our clan!"
Long Yuanshan laughed wildly with excitement, his laughter deafening, and tears were about to stream down his face.
"Dragon Blood Battle Gu! The Dragon Blood Battle Gu is one of the eight strongest exclusive Gu formulas of our clan. Now that the Dragon Blood Battle Gu formula has finally been successfully restored, the great name of the Dragon Blood Battle Gu will once again resound throughout the world, making everyone tremble with fear."
Among the crowd, an old man had tears of excitement in his eyes and shouted fanatically.
"Hahaha... Is there finally a chance to refine such a heaven-defying top-grade Gu worm? I can't wait. I want to see who can be my opponent once I refine the Dragon Blood Battle Gu."
"A timely rain indeed! The Dragon Blood Battle Gu has come at just the right time. With the Dragon Blood Battle Gu in hand, we don't need to fear the attacks of the Plague Demon Gu at all."
"Hahaha... We have now swindled countless resources from various clans, enough to refine many Dragon Blood Battle Gu. It won't be a problem for each of us to have one, right? Hahaha..."
"No problem! No problem! Not a single problem! I suggest we start refining Gu immediately. With the strength of the Dragon Blood Battle Gu, once they appear on a large scale, our clan will be enough to become the number one strongest clan in the Western Lands. I want to see which clan dares to fight with our Long Clan!"
A group of high-level Western Lands Long Clan members clenched their fists, their faces flushed with excitement, and they argued loudly. The council hall was as chaotic as it could be; everyone was red-faced and shouting, just like a vegetable market.
"Wait, something's wrong? The Gu formula mentioned at the end that the finished product didn't have a blood contract and told us to handle it ourselves, but why haven't I found that finished product?"
An old man reached his hand into an insect-breeding bag, anxiously feeling around. His words caused the entire room to fall silent instantly; everyone stopped talking and froze together.
That's right, submitting a Gu formula must include a finished product. If there is no finished product, who knows if the Gu formula is real or fake? Without a finished product, how can one judge the strength of the Gu formula?
Only by successfully refining a Gu can one confirm that the Gu formula is correct. Therefore, there must be a finished Dragon Blood Battle Gu. It is impossible for Long Xuan to have sent the Gu formula based purely on imagination without having done any experiments.
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Long Yuanshan's expression suddenly changed, and he finally thought of something. He shouted angrily, "Oh no! That finished product must have been intercepted by those people from the Extreme West Long Clan."
"Not only was the finished product swiped, but the handwriting on this Gu formula is also a bit off. It's written quite sloppily, and all the characters are connected, like a doodle made in a rush."
"They probably made a copy of the Dragon Blood Battle Gu formula, and what's worse is that they kept the original manuscript and sent us the pirated copy instead."
"They have no shame! They truly have no shame!"
Long Yuanshan was so angry that he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood, and his nose was even twisted in rage.
At this moment, the room instantly descended into chaos. Everyone was driven mad with anger, and they were all cursing loudly.
"Too bullying! How dare they!"
"How shameless! They actually dared to take advantage of the situation!"
"They have no conscience! This bunch of dogs has no conscience!"
