Chapter 3

Long Xuan slowly put down the "Longevity Sutra," his expression a bit trance-like; isn't the purpose of cultivation for longevity? If the "Longevity Sutra" can really give him a lifespan of tens of millions of years, then he is equivalent to longevity, having already completed the ultimate goal of cultivation and can lie flat.

Of course, this is just him thinking casually; an ordinary person without military force probably won't live long even if he can live forever.

This is, after all, a world where military force is respected; the top priority should be to refine the first Gu.

As an entomologist in his previous life, he has a keen sense of smell for the fusion of Gu worms.

In his view, the fusion of genes is not necessarily the best combination of the strong; for example, the liger born from the combination of the strongest tigers and lions on the surface has very poor comprehensive ability and low immunity, making it extremely difficult to survive.

And although ants are weak, if they fuse with the genes of certain creatures, they will produce terrifying miraculous effects.

It is precisely because of his professional alignment and the fact that conducting various taboo experiments has no cost, creating his own Gu formulas is really not a difficult thing for him.

But considering the shortage of funds in the early stage of a novice, refining a heaven-defying Gu worm at the beginning is absolutely an extravagant hope.

So the first Gu formula he created had extremely low cost, but don't look at the low cost; Gu worms refined from cheap materials may not be weak.

His philosophy is that the combination of the strong may not necessarily become stronger; using the genes of some weak insects might produce very terrifying effects.

In his previous life, although centipedes, poisonous snakes, scorpions, spiders, and toads did not belong to insects, Miao border Gu masters classified these five types of creatures as insects and used them for Gu refining.

It is the same in this world; these five types of creatures are not only classified as insects in this world, but also the strongest five insect species, crowned with the name of "Five Poisons" by people in this world.

The Five Poisons are the strongest among insects, so the vast majority of Gu cultivators use the Five Poisons for Gu refining.

Long Xuan had never heard of using flies or caterpillars for Gu refining.

It is not because flies and caterpillars are not insects, but entirely because these two types of insects are really too weak.

And the reason why Long Xuan's Gu formula is cheap is entirely because it uses those very unpopular insect types.

For example, cockroaches; the combat power of cockroaches is weak, but people in this world probably don't know that cockroaches are "little strong" that can't be killed.

Little Strong can withstand a hundred times its own pressure without being injured, can survive for months without eating or drinking, will not die if its internal organs are destroyed, and can regenerate broken limbs; even if its head is cut off, it can hold on for nine days.

In a place where people lived well in his previous life, an atomic bomb explosion occurred; all creatures died, but only Little Strong survived, which is simply outrageous.

Little Strong's combat power is not strong, but this world has the setting of Internal Gu; by parasitizing Gu worms in the body and feeding them with Qi, blood, and spiritual power, the Gu worms feed back magical power to the host, forming a symbiotic relationship, mutually beneficial and complementary.

Then can humans obtain Little Strong's immortal power through this method?

You must know that this world is a world with spiritual power; all spirit insects possess spiritual power; the cockroach spirit insects in this world are far more terrifying than the cockroaches in his previous life, and all data will be raised; once refined into Gu, the data will be further raised.

Immortality might not be a fantasy in this magical world.

So the first topic for Long Xuan to come to this world is to research how to make humans possess an immortal body.

Considering that the abilities born from the mutual devouring of various spirit insects are uncontrollable and unpredictable.

So Long Xuan specifically wrote only various types of cockroaches on it when creating his own Gu formula, so that the immortal genes of various types could be perfectly fused.

He didn't think there was any possibility that such a Gu formula would give birth to other abilities.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing; after a year of accumulation, he has accumulated a lot of spirit medicines; as long as he sells them, he can gather the funds to refine the first Gu.

Long Xuan stood up excitedly, first walked into the medicine garden to pull out all the spirit medicines with 100% numbers and put them into the storage bag, and replanted the seeds, then rushed out.

He prepared to take the spirit medicines to the nearby Far West Market to sell them, and try to refine Gu today; he couldn't wait.

It is worth mentioning that killing people and seizing treasures is prohibited in and around the Far West Market; this is a regulation that a prosperous market must have, otherwise no one would dare to show treasures in the market.

So as long as the traded materials are not too astonishing, Long Xuan basically doesn't need to worry about the problem of killing people and seizing treasures; this novice protection village is enough for him to develop steadily for a period of time.

Big Stone Village is very close to the market, and Long Xuan walked for half an hour and arrived.

Although the market is very close to the village, this was his first time coming to this place; as soon as he entered here, he was immediately surprised by the lively scene here.

Everywhere here are scattered cultivators sitting on the ground setting up stalls; spirit pills, spirit insects, spirit medicines, techniques, spirit tools, ore materials, beast materials, all kinds of treasures are dazzling.

The stall owners argued with people until their faces were red and their necks were thick, and the noise of bargaining was everywhere, and the voices were boiling.

In a region full of Gu cultivators, the most traded thing is naturally always Gu worms; after Long Xuan entered here, he saw all kinds of Gu worms, which was an eye-opener.

There are quite a few scattered cultivators who possess Gu formulas, but they never sell Gu formulas, only refining Gu worms and putting them on the stalls to flow slowly.

It is not only because all Gu cultivators have the concept of cherishing their own things; once a Gu formula is spread, it will not only be researched by others for ways to restrain it, but if many people refine it, it will also form competitiveness.

With Long Xuan's current family wealth, buying an ordinary Gu worm is no problem, but after thinking for a while, he quickly gave up such an idea.

It is best not to buy second-hand Gu worms; it is easy for people to play tricks on them, and the Gu worms refined by oneself are the most tacit and have the highest loyalty.

The more masters a Gu worm has passed through, the more complex its thoughts are, and it is easy to have the situation of backlashing the master.

So for the sake of his own life, it is better to create his own Gu formula and refine Gu himself.

Long Xuan first found a merchant association and sold all the spirit medicines, earning a total of three hundred and seven low-grade spirit stones, but he spent seven or eight out of ten buying the materials on the Gu formula he created and ten Gu vessels for Gu refining here.

Long Xuan didn't expect that the selling price of grade one spirit medicines would be so low; a full storage bag of spirit medicines only sold for three hundred and seven low-grade spirit stones.

After asking, he found out that low-grade spirit medicines have no environmental restrictions and can be planted on a large scale; hiring a group of mortals basically means planting as much as you want.

So grade one spirit medicines have long been rotten on the street and are not worth money at all.

Perhaps if he secretly pulled out all the spirit medicines in the medicine garden and ran away, Long Lao probably wouldn't feel distressed.

After recognizing this reality, Long Xuan could only carry the remaining ten spirit stones to stroll around this lively market. I don't know what ten spirit stones can buy.

Scattered cultivators are poor, and there are basically no particularly valuable things on the stalls, but scattered cultivators like to adventure deep into the mountains and forests, and the things they pick up are also varied, with everything; if you say there are absolutely no good things, that is absolutely impossible.

Scattered cultivators also have a biggest characteristic, that is, they read few books and have short knowledge; there are too many treasures they don't recognize, and often scattered cultivators make mistakes and take out precious treasures to sell at low prices, which gives others the opportunity to pick up leaks.

This also makes Gu cultivators from large clans who like to pick up leaks flock here, coming here every day to try their luck, making this a paradise for treasure hunting; some people get rich here, and some people are cheated here and lose everything.

At this time, Long Xuan discovered another function of the golden finger.

He can see the progress of all treasures on the stalls.

Don't underestimate this ability; it can judge many things.

For example, some things that don't show progress are mostly fake goods, such as nonsensical techniques, and various fragmentary formulas waiting for people to pick up leaks.

There is also black iron whose progress is infinitely close to 100%; Long Xuan seriously suspects that once the progress of black iron reaches 100%, it will become black iron essence, and at that time the value will increase by more than a hundred times.

Unfortunately, even if it is ordinary black iron, he cannot afford it now, so he can only give up helplessly.

By the same token, spirit stones are also like this; once the progress of high-grade spirit stones approaches 100%, it is very likely that a transformation from high-grade spirit stones to top-grade spirit stones is about to occur.

Top-grade spirit stones are priceless treasures that are rarely seen in a hundred years, and their value is immeasurable.

As for those living things, it goes without saying; for example, the progress of some spirit insects is 15.0%, while the progress of some spirit insects is 25.6800%, with a string of numbers after the decimal point.

This is easy to understand; the longer the maturity period of the spirit insect, the more decimal points are needed to improve accuracy.

If you see a spirit insect with a very large number of decimal places, then you must pay attention.

The lifespan of this spirit insect must be very long, and the longer the lifespan of the spirit insect, the more extraordinary it is; it can be said that the lifespan and strength of spirit insects and Gu worms are completely positively correlated.

In this way, there are too many opportunities to pick up leaks; although Long Xuan is a novice and doesn't recognize any treasures, when it comes to the ability to pick up leaks, no one here can really compare to him.

Bees collect all nectar and pollen, but the yellow balls on their legs are pollen, Baidu said, don't advance the sprayers too much.
