Chapter 316

Cultivation has no years; unknowingly, Long Xuan had already been in seclusion on this small island for half a year.

During these six months, he had been hiding in the cave livering the Gu formula, never leaving the cave for even half a step.

He handed all matters to the clones, but every clone carried a wisp of his split soul, so no matter what the clones did, he felt the same.

With a second perspective, Long Xuan was equivalent to going out to relax, so he wasn't bored huddled in the cave.

Currently, the progress of his Calamity Gu formula had reached 60%; the progress could be considered more than halfway through.

He already had 600,000 materials on the Gu formula; of course, this 600,000 didn't refer to 600,000 types of materials.

A large amount of materials were stacked together; for a certain material, he might need one thousand, or even ten thousand copies.

The nouns really written on the Gu formula were not as many as imagined.

It is worth mentioning that these 600,000 materials had all been collected by the clones for him.

Through the clone's perspective, he naturally knew how the clones collected the materials.

That group of Yun Clan Gu cultivators simply wanted to enshrine him; whatever he wanted, they would give it to him; no matter how outrageous the things he wanted, they would actually agree.

Many of the materials required for the Calamity Gu were quite rare, and it was impossible to collect them in the entire Black Sand Archipelago.

That group of Yun Clan Gu cultivators actually went to Central Earth to collect materials for him through the teleportation array of the large island, not fearing the long distance.

He had underestimated the strength of this family; he didn't expect that they could really collect half of the materials for the Calamity Gu formula for him with the strength of one clan, which made Long Xuan a little surprised.

Of course, it was impossible for them to work for nothing; what they got was also not little.

So far, more than ten of them had broken through to Gu King; this was all his credit.

Long Xuan finally discovered at this time that collecting resources by refining Realm-Breaking Pills was simply profiteering.

Others refining Realm-Breaking Pills might waste dozens of times the materials for one pill, so the profit margin was not as large as imagined.

And he was different; refining one furnace produces one furnace, and the profit margin was dozens of times that of a normal third-grade alchemist.

Refining third-grade Realm-Breaking Pills in this way was naturally profiteering for him, so it was really not surprising to collect 600,000 materials in half a year.

On this day, the sky was windy and rainy, with thunder and lightning.

During this period, it belonged to the rainy season in this part of the Black Sand Archipelago, and the frequency of rain was very high.

He also often heard deafening thunder, which interrupted his train of thought.

Long Xuan saw from afar a teenager climbing onto a high tree; this tree had traces of being struck by lightning, and the whole body was scorched black.

At this time, the lightning in the sky was like silver snakes dancing wildly, releasing dazzling strong light and deafening thunder.

And this group of dancing silver snakes, whether intentional or unintentional, all rushed toward the teenager on the treetop.

One lightning bolt after another struck the teenager mercilessly.

The teenager looked at the sky with an indifferent gaze, letting the continuous lightning strike his body, but he was unscathed.

Long Xuan finally changed his face; such a high frequency of lightning strikes, even he couldn't withstand it, and this teenager was clearly a mortal.

At this time, he finally understood why the thunder in his ears was so frequent recently.

This was not a natural phenomenon at all; it was that this teenager had a lightning-attracting constitution, and he would be struck by lightning whenever it rained.

It just so happened that he didn't go anywhere when it rained, but only stayed near his cave abode, so could the thunder in his ears not be frequent?

All the trees on this island were green, and only that one tree was black, so it was not difficult to judge that he would climb onto this tree fixedly every time it rained and thundered.

This tree was struck black by lightning.

It was also his bad luck; when choosing the cave abode, he happened to choose to open the cave abode not far from this tree.

It would still be a long time before the rainy season ended; if the thunder in his ears was endless, then where would he have the train of thought to research the Gu formula, and he probably wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.

Long Xuan couldn't sit still anymore.

Until the rain ended and the thunder stopped, Long Xuan finally moved his butt that hadn't moved for a long time, walked out of the cave abode, and prepared to see what was going on with this teenager.

"Kid, there are so many trees you don't choose, why do you only recognize this one tree? Is this fair to it? Could it be that this tree has a grudge against you?"

At this time, this teenager who was struck by lightning had already climbed down from the tree, and Long Xuan walked over and asked.

At this time, Long Xuan looked at him with burning eyes, as if he had seen some kind of treasure.

He originally thought that this child had some kind of lightning-attracting constitution, or had done something that angered heaven and man to attract heaven's anger, but after observing at close range, he had a guess in his heart that made his heartbeat stop.

The progress of seven decimal places was displayed on this child's forehead; could it be that a mysterious Spirit Gu with a lifespan of a million years was parasitic on his forehead?

And there were not many Spirit Gu that could attract lightning; Long Xuan had a guess in his heart at this time that made him ecstatic, and that was that the mysterious Spirit Gu parasitic on this child's forehead was exactly the Calamity Worm he had been searching for.

Legend has it that the Calamity Worm floats in the air, lives on lightning, and sometimes parasitizes in the bodies of passing humans.

During thunderstorms, the Calamity Worm will attract the lightning in the sky and swallow it into its body.

The reason why this teenager was struck by lightning but was unscathed was exactly because of this.

All the lightning had already been swallowed by the Calamity Worm, so naturally, it wouldn't hurt him anymore.

Long Xuan had to sigh; it was truly a case of "finding it without looking for it, it came easily."

He originally thought it would be very difficult to see a Calamity Worm in his lifetime, but he didn't expect to collect it in only half a year.

This luck was simply invincible; this was fate!

Facing Long Xuan's inquiry, the teenager glanced at him and answered indifferently: "Nothing, the reason I only choose this tree is just because I don't want to hurt more people by mistake."

Hearing this, Long Xuan became interested and asked with a smile: "You actually still care about the lives of the rest of the villagers?"

"Do you know that they all treat you as a monster, usually stay far away from you, and all the children of the same age in the village are excluding you and isolating you?"

"You have suffered all kinds of cold eyes and bullying in this village; do you still care about their lives?"

Although Long Xuan didn't see the scene of him being bullied by the villagers, he didn't think he had guessed wrong.

Human nature is the same everywhere.

When a teenager who is often struck by lightning appears in a village, he will definitely be treated as a monster by all the villagers; how could he be treated as a normal person?

It was already considered kind of them that this teenager hadn't been driven out or burned by the villagers.

It was rare that this teenager hadn't blackened until now.

"This is not their fault; anyone who appears by my side has the risk of being struck by lightning; my parents died like this; if I were them, I would also stay far away from this monster." The teenager said sadly.

Hearing this, Long Xuan nodded secretly; the nature of this child was rare.

"Truly a kind and simple teenager; seeing that you are kind, I will bestow a fortune upon you."

"Actually, you are not a monster; you just caught a strange disease called lightning-attraction disease."

"And I am a divine doctor, and I happen to know the method to cure this disease."

"Seeing that you are kind, I will treat you for free; follow me."

Long Xuan finished speaking, turned around, and walked toward the cave abode.

"What you said is true? Can you really cure my disease?"

The teenager's indifferent face rarely revealed a look of excitement, and he hurriedly followed.

Seeing that this teenager really followed, Long Xuan hooked the corner of his mouth and secretly said that this teenager was really easy to fool.

In the eyes of Gu cultivators, being parasitized by a powerful insect is not a misfortune at all, but a heaven-sent blessing.

All Gu cultivators wish they could be parasitized by a powerful Spirit Gu or Gu worm.

This teenager has such a great opportunity but doesn't know it; not to mention anything else, just by parasitizing such a Calamity Worm and controlling the natural power of thunder, he would be invincible just by cultivating a lightning-attribute technique.

However, this teenager's opportunity is already his now; opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.

Central Earth, Zhu Clan.

In the study of the Zhu Clan Family Head.

"Zhu Yue, you did well this time; originally the family was indecisive about which Gu formula with ten million materials to refine."

"But you brought back a set of Shadow Pupil materials, so the family doesn't need to worry anymore; there are not many Gu worms that can be stronger than the Shadow Pupil."

"As long as the Shadow Pupil comes out, it will be easy for my Zhu Clan to dominate Central Earth."

Zhu Clan Family Head Zhu Yuan looked at the Gu formula on the table, his gaze fiery, and said ambitiously.

Listening to his meaning, it was as if he could refine the Gu with 100% success even with only one set of materials.

Even if the God of Gamblers had full luck, he would be far from having this confidence.

"Uncle, can this method really refine a Gu formula with seventy million materials at once? Wouldn't it be... too cruel."

Zhu Yue frowned slightly, revealing a look of intolerance.

In the Zhu Clan, there was a heaven-defying genius who was rare in ten thousand years, but few people knew that she was born with a heaven-defying Gu worm named the Misfortune Gu parasitic in her body.

This Gu is exactly one of the top ten innate Spirit Gu, and its ability is to feed on the luck of people around it.

Gathering the luck of people around her into her own body, of course, the success rate of doing anything is one hundred percent.

Including refining a Gu formula with seventy million materials, the success rate is also one hundred percent.

A person with this ability can easily refine a pile of heaven-defying Gu worms with one million materials.

And the breakthrough has no bottlenecks; picking up money while walking, meeting opportunities when going out, and throwing a stone casually can hit an ancient tomb.

Any danger she encounters when walking into an ancient tomb can be easily resolved by luck.

Everyone who wants to kill her, even a Gu King, will die inexplicably.

A person with this kind of innate Spirit Gu is an immortal; no matter what, they can't die; she can go smoothly and cultivate to a realm sufficient for longevity.

Such exaggerated luck, even the God of Gamblers with full luck doesn't possess it.

Because his luck can be full, there is a certain limit, while the luck that the Misfortune Gu can absorb has no limit.

A fully grown Misfortune Gu can even feed on the luck of people in an entire region for its own use.

Compared to this level of luck, the luck of the God of Gamblers is simply not worth mentioning.
