Chapter 250: One of the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu: The Repair Gu

"Do you think taking a detour is safe? You don't understand the laws of the Gu World's oceans at all. Big ships eat small ships; when a big ship sees a small one, it will often just swallow it whole."

"Because there is no order on the ocean, it is a place where rules cannot protect you. If you kill a group of people at sea and feed them to the fish, no one will ever find out. That is why pirates are rampant on the sea, and killing for treasure is the trend."

"Our ship is simply too small. Any ship that sees us will have the intention of killing us for our treasure."

"It was only because we were too close to the shore when we encountered that seven-story treasure ship. Otherwise, do you think the people on board would have let us go so easily?"

"A large group of Demonic Cultivators on that ship are not under the control of the Nine Prince. They are capable of doing anything."

"That is why I suggest going directly through the Death Sea Region. I have never feared danger. If I feared danger, I would never have gone to the Sky Island to court death, let alone set sail!" Xiong Dali said with disdain.

"That's right! It's not that I like courting death. If this ship's performance wasn't enough to traverse the Death Sea Region, I would definitely be against it."

"But didn't the First Mate say so? This ship's performance is excellent; it can complete voyages through various Forbidden Seas and can basically ignore the dangers of the Death Sea Region."

"I still trust the judgment of the Rose ship's captain, so I support going through the Death Sea Region!" Hunter Qiu Tiandao said at this moment, his eyes filled with excitement.

At this time, the rest of the crew also began to discuss whether to take a detour or go straight. Everyone engaged in a heated debate.

"Alright! I know nothing about matters at sea. Since everyone has their own reasons, let's vote! Whether to go through the Death Sea Region or not, the minority shall submit to the majority."

Long Xuan, the captain, suddenly spoke up, and the discussions on the ship finally ceased.

Long Xuan looked around and, seeing no objections, spoke again: "Now, listen to my command. Those in favor of going to the Death Sea Region, please raise your hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ninety people excitedly raised their hands. There were surprisingly few who did not.

Long Xuan felt his scalp tingle. He suddenly realized a problem: those who intended to go on an adventure to the Sky Island were all people with personalities that liked to court death.

People who sought stability in their actions would never set sail, nor would they choose to risk their lives to seek treasure on the Sky Island.

So, he had loaded a ship full of people who liked to court death. These people all possessed an adventurous gene and loved to explore interesting places.

He couldn't help but sigh that there really were many people in this world who didn't fear death.

However, at this moment, Long Xuan still hadn't realized that the real reason the crew liked going through the Death Sea Region wasn't because they had confidence in the Divine Dragon ship's performance.

It was entirely because "people die for wealth, and birds die for food." It was the Divine Dragon ship's performance that gave all the crew members the confidence, stirring up greed in their hearts.

How could a novice like Long Xuan know just how rich the resources of the Forbidden Seas were?

In any place where humans have not set foot, treasures are everywhere.

Not many people can set foot in the Death Sea Region, which means the resources of the Death Sea Region have not been exploited by humans.

Not to mention other resources, just look at the various water weeds under the water. Because no human has ever picked them, they are truly thousand-year spirit herbs everywhere!

Even the density of ten-thousand-year spirit herbs is very high.

This area of the Death Sea Region is more than just rich. Once one can retreat unscathed from the Death Sea Region, the net worth of these poor Gu Cultivators on the ship will surely increase a hundredfold.

Such temptation is enough to make the vast majority of people cast danger to the back of their minds.

At this time, Long Xuan still naively thought they had confidence in his Divine Dragon ship.

"Alright! Since the vast majority agree to go through the Death Sea Region, then we shall go through the Death Sea Region!"

"Now, the route remains unchanged. We will go straight through the Death Sea Region!"

As soon as Long Xuan finished speaking, a burst of cheers erupted on the ship.

Only Mo Zuo and Mo You had trembling legs and pale faces, sighing to themselves that they were finished.

They silently glanced at the young Master Mo, who was already excited to the point of madness, and couldn't help but feel extremely regretful for following him onto the ship.

Nie Qingcheng left with a look of joy, returning the Endless Jade in her hand to Long Xuan. Di Xin took the position she had been standing in, looked at the Endless Jade in Long Xuan's hand, and smiled:

"So this thing is called Endless Jade. I happen to have an identical piece of jade in my hand. If it weren't for this voyage, how would we inlanders know the function of this thing?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan was startled. He didn't expect Di Xin to also have a piece of Endless Jade. Did she also happen to pick it up by chance like him?

But thinking about it, it was normal. She was a Daughter of Fortune of the mortal path; wouldn't it be normal for her to pick up a piece of Endless Jade?

What's more, he had raided the treasure vaults of so many factions; the probability of her happening to pick up a piece of Endless Jade was actually quite high.

"That's a pity! One piece of Endless Jade is enough for one ship. The piece of Endless Jade in your hand is useless," Long Xuan laughed.

"Is that so?" Di Xin chuckled and added, "The piece of Endless Jade I have is useless, but when I obtained this piece of Endless Jade, there was a letter next to it."

"This letter recorded a lot of intelligence about the Sky Island ruins. This intelligence is still very useful."

"I think you will be very interested in some of the contents of the letter."

Hearing this, Long Xuan was startled again and couldn't help but find it strange. Why did this scene feel so familiar?

He had obtained a piece of jade and a letter, and she had actually also obtained a piece of jade and a letter. The two of them were truly fated.

Di Xin looked at the distant seascape and added, "There is one piece of intelligence in this letter that you will definitely be very interested in."

"At a certain location in the Sky Island ruins, there is a spirit insect called the Repair Gu. You will definitely be very interested in this kind of insect."

Di Xin curled the corners of her mouth into a mysterious smile.

Hearing this, Long Xuan's pupils shrank. He hurriedly looked at Di Xin's profile and asked urgently, "It's the Repair Gu? Are you sure?"

Upon hearing this name, Long Xuan was completely unable to remain calm.

The Repair Gu was one of the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu; it was an existence as famous as the Medicine Gu.

Its ranking was even higher than the Medicine Gu; the Repair Gu ranked fifth among the Ten Great Heaven-Defying Spirit Gu.

As the name suggests, this thing can repair all things.

For example, if you smash a high-grade spirit stone into fragments, the Repair Gu can repair all the fragments back into high-grade spirit stones. This is equivalent to the Repair Gu being able to conjure multiple high-grade spirit stones out of thin air.

This ability is too heaven-defying; it is simply inconceivable and absolutely at the rule level.

The reason he used high-grade spirit stones as an example instead of top-grade spirit stones is that the Repair Gu is a spirit insect, not a Gu insect, so its ability strength is limited. It can only repair things that are not of a very high grade; it cannot repair things that are too heaven-defying.

Furthermore, every time the Repair Gu repairs something, there is an extremely long cooldown period.

However, what if he created a Gu formula with the Repair Gu as the main insect?

Once the Repair Gu becomes a Gu insect, would its ability become stronger? Would it be able to take effect on heaven-defying objects?

Thinking of this, Long Xuan could no longer sit still, his heart pounding wildly.

The Repair Gu's ability is absolutely bug-level in this world. It is truly worth researching into a Gu insect. He had to get his hands on this Repair Gu no matter what.

Di Xin curled her lips and smiled: "Of course it's true. The Sky Island ruins have been entered countless times. Why haven't the various mechanisms inside been destroyed yet? Isn't it all because of this little thing repairing them?"

"The letter says that it is precisely because of this Repair Gu in the Sky Island ruins that the puppets inside are simply endless."

"After countless tens of thousands of years, the puppets inside have instead become more numerous the more they are killed, causing the difficulty to increase every time the Sky Island ruins open, and the number of deaths has also been increasing."

"It seems you are very interested in this Repair Gu. Are you thinking of researching a Gu formula related to the Repair Gu?"

Di Xin looked into Long Xuan's eyes and smiled: "How about we make a deal? I will tell you the hidden location of the Repair Gu in the ruins and help you catch it."

"But in exchange, you must also do your best to help me take an item and join forces with me to kill someone."

"This person is the number one genius of the Gu Spirit Sect. He will definitely appear in the Sky Island ruins."

"This person has committed all kinds of evil and has done I don't know how many unconscionable things. Killing him can be considered a meritorious deed."

Long Xuan nodded and immediately said readily: "Good! I love to uphold justice and act on behalf of Heaven. We have a deal!"

Long Xuan paused and added: "Nie Qingcheng said that the ruins are full of Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators, and it is impossible for Gu Cultivators above the Spirit Sea stage to appear. The two of us, joining forces, are enough to sweep through. Who could be the opponent of our pair of male and female demons?"

Long Xuan looked extremely confident.

Di Xin rolled her eyes at him and frowned slightly. Why did she always feel that the term "joining forces" sounded a bit off? Unfortunately, she had no evidence.

While everyone on the ship was chatting on the deck, it unknowingly turned dark. The crew members left a few people to watch the ship and walked into the cabins one after another to prepare for sleep.

Watching the ship naturally wouldn't fall to him, the captain, in any case. He finally walked into his own bedroom on the third floor, preparing for sleep.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a burst of women's laughter coming from the corridor, with Ye Qingluan's voice being the loudest. He suddenly felt like he had walked into a female dormitory, which made him feel a bit unnatural.

He could only suppress the agitation in his heart, walk into his bedroom, take a shower in the bathroom, and lie on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

He began to miss Long Ziyan at this time. He didn't know how long this ship would need to sail to get rid of the influence of the Realm Bead, allowing the two to meet as soon as possible. He also didn't know if she had been anxious during the time he had disappeared...

After a beauty entered his heart, he finally entered dreamland with a smile.

For the next few months, Long Xuan handed over all matters on the ship to the First Mate and took no responsibility at all.

Every day, he locked himself in his bedroom and went into seclusion to research Mass Alchemy. Only when eating in the cafeteria would he rarely come out to taste the delicious food made by the chef on the first floor.

Apart from that, he did absolutely no work on the ship, acting even more like a master than a master.

The reason he was so engrossed in researching Mass Alchemy was that he had a new and novel idea at this time.

The barrier of the Sky Island ruins prevented Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivators from entering, but Yang Zhan had dropped in cultivation at this time, and he didn't know if the barrier would restrict him.

At this time, Long Xuan had a devious idea. Could he let Yang Zhan mix into the ruins with the cultivation of a Spirit Refining stage Gu Cultivator, and then use the Ice-Fire Polar Pill to restore his cultivation, becoming a Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivator?

Long Xuan thought deviously.

By then, Yang Zhan would be the only Spirit Sea stage Gu Cultivator in the ruins. He would break the balance in the ruins, kill whoever he wanted, and basically be able to walk sideways in the ruins. No faction would be able to compete with their fleet.

This was equivalent to a wolf mixing into a flock of sheep; he would be invincible.

However, this matter was ultimately not something that could see the light of day, and he didn't know if the explanation of a breakthrough on the spot would count as a violation. So, he decided to use this move as a trump card and would never give the Ice-Fire Polar Pill to Yang Zhan in the ruins unless it was a last resort.

In case of encountering a life-and-death situation, he would hold an Ice-Fire Polar Pill in his hand, and Yang Zhan could completely become his trump card for a comeback.

This situation would definitely be when he was about to die, and he wouldn't care about whether it was a violation or not.

So, Long Xuan prepared to research Mass Alchemy before arriving at the Sky Island and successfully refine the Ice-Fire Polar Pill, adding another layer of insurance for his trip to the Sky Island in advance.
