Chapter 479: Writing Novels

An hour later, Long Xuan looked at Qin Mingyue sitting opposite him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes. He sighed in his heart: fortunately, he didn't let this young lady. This young lady was playing the pig to eat the tiger. She kept saying that she was good at the zither path and not at the chess path, but her attainments in the chess path were terrifyingly high. Just now, even if he had been slightly careless, he would have lost this game of chess.

Long Xuan had lingering fears. This game of chess just now was extremely difficult, but in the end, he relied on his richer experience to take this woman down. If he had given this woman a few more years of chess experience, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he could steadily win against her.

"I concede! I concede! Winning this game of chess against you was truly not easy. Didn't you say you were good at the zither and not at chess? Is this what you call not good at chess?" Long Xuan raised his eyebrows and questioned.

He was also fortunate that he was used to being cautious. Even if he had a great advantage, he never underestimated the enemy. Otherwise, he would have really been played by this young lady this time. Sure enough, the more beautiful a woman was, the less trustworthy her words were.

"What I meant was that compared to the zither, I am better at the zither. I am proficient in all four arts of zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting at the Saint Gu Academy. Chess is just the weakest among what I have learned."

"However, among my peers, you are the first person who can win against me in chess. I will come to find you again. The person who loses next time will definitely be you!"

Qin Mingyue stood up, held the ancient zither, and walked toward the door. When she reached the threshold, she suddenly stopped her steps again, turned around, and reminded:

"The Book Worm I gave you likes to read novels, and it's also called the Novel Worm. It can become a Gu worm just by reading books. But don't look at the refining process of the Book Gu as simple, with no great cost and no failure rate."

"But Heaven is fair. How could a Gu worm that is so easy to refine have no drawbacks? As a balance, this kind of Gu worm is extremely weak. Even a top-grade Book Gu is pitifully weak, and its strength is far inferior to other Gu species."

"So, in this world, only poor people refine Book Gu. Among geniuses with family backgrounds, not many people will refine Book Gu."

"The reason you should have guessed is that most people in this world only use their time for cultivation. How could they waste time reading novels? The group that likes to read novels is simply too small, making it impossible for Book Gu to be very strong in this world."

"If you can't guarantee that your books can be read by people all over the world, I advise you not to waste time refining Book Gu. I have said all I have to say."

After the words fell, Qin Mingyue finally didn't say anything more, stepped over the threshold, and walked out.

Along the way, her graceful figure attracted the gazes of a group of male animals, but their gazes revealed trepidation, and no one dared to approach.

Looking at her departing back, Long Xuan sighed. This young lady had a strong desire to win, actually wanting to win back next time.

However, he didn't have a tendency to be abused. He wouldn't play chess with her next time. Let her be anxious. Long Xuan's mouth curled up, and he picked up a white chess piece from the chess jar opposite.

He saw that this chess piece emitted a brilliant white light, dazzlingly bright.

This was the chess piece that established a fate connection with Qin Mingyue. From now on, he would share a small part of Qin Mingyue's luck, fate pattern... The higher Qin Mingyue's achievements in the future, the stronger this sub-Chess Gu would be.

From now on, the fate of this sub-Chess Gu would be one of glory and one of loss with Qin Mingyue.

Long Xuan stroked this chess piece lovingly. This was the first chess piece to establish a relationship with a genius. At this moment, he had an impulse to light up all 361 chess pieces on the chessboard. At this moment, he had developed a collecting habit.

However, Long Xuan soon furrowed his brows again. He was not satisfied with this glowing sub-Chess Gu. This chess piece could perhaps be brighter. Although Qin Mingyue's talent was not bad, she was definitely not the strongest genius in this world.

How far a person could go in the future was not fixed; it could be interfered with by the outside world. Qi Luo You interfered with the future of a large batch of geniuses in the capacity of a mentor, not only promoting the growth of this batch of geniuses but also cultivating this batch of geniuses into personalities that were extremely difficult to die young.

At this moment, he was considering whether to cultivate Qin Mingyue. In his previous life, there were too many classic zither scores. These zither scores were of great help to geniuses in this world who cultivated the path of the zither, and they could even use the music of his previous life to create stronger Zither Gu.

He believed that under his training, Qin Mingyue would have a more magnificent future.

However, he didn't understand her character for the time being, so let's wait for a period of time. He didn't want to cultivate a rebellious disciple in the end.

Long Xuan's eyes turned, and he finally took out the insect jar he got from Qin Mingyue, pouring the Book Worm inside into his palm.

Before long, a strange spirit insect with a big eye appeared in his line of sight.

This spirit insect was chubby, snow-white all over, and looked very strange. The most peculiar thing was its eye. It actually only had one eye, and this eye was very large, occupying at least one-third of its volume. At this moment, this Book Worm was staring at him with that huge eye.

Making eye contact with this big eye, Long Xuan felt very surprised in his heart. Was this the Book Worm that could comprehend abilities from books? Could it restore the abilities fictionalized in books in this world?

Truly, the world is big, and there are all kinds of wonders. How many strange and peculiar insects could be bred.

"According to Qin Mingyue, this is a Book Worm that likes to read novels! I don't know what kind of novel to give it to read. It's truly a difficult choice."

Long Xuan sighed lightly and began to ponder what kind of novel from his previous life to move to this world for it to read.

There were simply too many novels to choose from in his previous life, making him dazzled. For a time, he had a choice-making struggle. After thinking for a long time, he gritted his teeth and finally decided to write out "Journey to the West" from his previous life.

He hadn't read the novels of this world and didn't know what level "Journey to the West" belonged to in this world, but he guessed that "Journey to the West" was one of the four great masterpieces of his previous life. No matter how bad it was in this world, it couldn't be that bad.

He decided to give the Book Worm "Journey to the West" to read.

There were simply too many powerful abilities that appeared in "Journey to the West," such as the Somersault Cloud that could flip a somersault for 108,000 li, such as the Buddha's Tathagata's Divine Palm, such as the Yellow Wind Monster's Yellow Wind Storm.

No matter what kind of ability the Book Worm comprehended, he would have made a big profit.

Thinking of these abilities, Long Xuan's breathing became rapid. He couldn't wait any longer and immediately took out paper and pen, preparing to complete this world masterpiece at the fastest speed.

However, there was one very important thing to solve before this. He hadn't forgotten that novels belonged to a desert in this world, and few people would waste time reading novels. Saint Gu City could be considered the only exception.

Saint Gu City had a profound book path inheritance, and the whole city was deeply influenced, so the people of Saint Gu City basically liked to read novels.

However, it was easy for "Journey to the West" to spread in Saint Gu City, but difficult to spread to the entire Gu World.

Not many people read novels in this world. He had already taken Qin Mingyue's reminder to heart. If he couldn't make the novels he wrote spread throughout the world, then refining Book Gu would have no meaning at all.

This problem really stumped him. This meant that no matter how wonderful the novel he wrote was, it would be useless. For a person who never read novels, even if you wrote the novel to be earth-shattering and ghost-weeping, this person wouldn't take a look.

Long Xuan felt a headache. How to make novels break out of the circle absolutely belonged to a world-class problem. All those who refined Book Gu were racking their brains to make novels break out of the circle. However, from ancient times to the present, no one had ever done it. How could it be something Long Xuan could easily handle? However, what Long Xuan was best at was breaking what predecessors couldn't. Things that all ancients couldn't do might not necessarily be able to stump him.

Before long, he suddenly slammed the table heavily and cursed: "Damn it, don't you all not like reading novels?"

"Then I will create the cultivation method taught by Bodhi Patriarch to the monkey, and then write it in the novel."

"In the original work, this cultivation method combined the three thoughts of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, boundless and at ease, supreme and infinite."

"If you want to comprehend these three thoughts, you must read the full text for me. Don't even think about successfully cultivating the cultivation method without reading the novel!" "I don't believe I can't cure you!"

Long Xuan revealed an evil smile.

Picking up the pen, he wrote the five words "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Technique" on the paper.

The "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Technique" was precisely the cultivation method taught by Bodhi Patriarch to the monkey. This cultivation method was an extraordinary path, seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth, invading the mysteries of the sun and moon. After the pill was formed, ghosts and gods couldn't tolerate it, because every five hundred years, one would cross a disaster, totaling three disasters of thunder, fire, and wind.

The biggest feature was speaking the root cause, the heart being blessed, and when one aperture was opened, a hundred apertures were opened. To put it simply, those who learned this cultivation method, no matter what they learned, would know it after hearing it once, and would be able to do it after practicing it once.

There was also the same longevity as Heaven, no illness, jumping out of reincarnation, ten thousand calamities without aging...

But the ability of immortality could be forgotten; it was definitely not something he could create now.

With such a powerful cultivation method, he really didn't believe that anyone could resist the temptation.

With a method to make the novel spread throughout the world in his heart, Long Xuan didn't hesitate anymore and immediately walked into the Soul Study.

He decided to liver out the "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Technique" first, and then write out "Journey to the West."

What really wasted time was the "Great Product Heavenly Immortal Technique." "Journey to the West" only needed to be written out, not using his brain, and it wouldn't take much time at all.

Livering a heaven-defying cultivation method was very time-consuming. Long Xuan could only choose to enter the Soul Study to go into seclusion. As for the matters in the Coffee Gu specialty shop, he could only leave them all to his clones to be responsible for.

Once any genius who met the requirements came to play chess, it could only be played by his clones.

Long Xuan didn't know at this time what kind of disturbance the cultivation method he had created unintentionally would bring to this world.

The things he invented would once again cause a major earthquake in this world.

Time passed bit by bit. Unknowingly, half a year had passed quietly.

In the Soul Study, the time consumed was far more than half a year. It was visible that the cultivation method researched after wasting so much time would definitely not be simple.

On this day, Long Xuan finally stretched his waist greatly, a look of comfort appearing on his face. Looking at the three big characters "Journey to the West," he shamelessly wrote below it—Long Xuan Zhe.

Thinking about it, he changed his real name to the pen name Xuan Long. This world masterpiece was finally completed by him.

Looking at this world-class masterpiece, he was full of a sense of accomplishment.

From now on, the more people who read "Journey to the West," the stronger his Book Gu would be. In the future, how many people in the world would like to read his "Journey to the West," he was very looking forward to it in his heart.

"Read it for me! Read it fiercely!"

Long Xuan suddenly threw this novel in front of the Book Worm. The Book Worm's eyes lit up, and it immediately crawled over excitedly, opened the book cover, and studied it with great interest.

In the opening of the book, it told the story of a monkey. The Book Worm couldn't help but be stunned. Other novels all took humans as the protagonist, but this novel broke the convention, taking a demon beast as the protagonist. It felt fresh and was looking forward to the development of the story behind more and more.

The content in the book was very wonderful. It hadn't read a few pages before it immediately became addicted, eyes getting brighter the more it read, and its entire mind was attracted by this novel.

Seeing the Book Worm's expression getting more and more excited, completely in the appearance of being addicted, Long Xuan finally felt relieved in his heart.

The tastes of Book Worms were very picky, and their requirements for novels were much higher than those of humans.

Since it liked reading "Journey to the West" so much, then he guessed that other humans would definitely like reading it too.

The aesthetics of Book Worms represented the mainstream aesthetics in this world.

Long Xuan's confidence was set. He didn't pay attention to this Book Worm that was already addicted anymore and prepared to use printing technology to print "Journey to the West" in large quantities, printing as many as possible, the more the better.

Time passed quickly for another half year.

At this time, in the Coffee Gu specialty shop, Long Xuan furrowed his brows deeply. He didn't expect that after the Book Worm finished reading "Journey to the West," it would actually need to sleep for so long.

"Journey to the West" was undoubtedly very wonderful. After the Book Worm finished reading this novel to the finale, it was still unsatisfied, and before long, it fell into a state of sleep. It had just woken up today. When it woke up again, it had already transformed into a Gu worm and successfully comprehended one of the abilities in the novel.

However, the ability this Book Worm comprehended made him very disappointed. It was not the Tathagata's Divine Palm that made his heart move, nor was it the Somersault Cloud that he couldn't forget.

This useless Book Worm actually only comprehended one move: the Earth Shrinking Method.

The Earth Shrinking Method was a powerful ability that Sun Wukong had used, which could shuttle under the soil. Although it was not bad, it was far below his expectations.

Sure enough, it was very difficult for Book Worms to comprehend abilities that were too heaven-defying in books. He really shouldn't have held too high expectations. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Then, just when he was disappointed in his heart, through the blood contract relationship, a piece of information suddenly surged into his mind, making him stunned immediately.

It turned out that his Book Gu could not only comprehend one ability, but with subsequent growth, the Book Gu would also comprehend a second ability, a third ability...

No matter how heaven-defying the abilities that appeared in the book were, as long as the Book Gu grew up, there would be a chance to comprehend them.

But the prerequisite was that there must be enough people reading "Journey to the West." Only when the number of people reading the book reached a certain level, and the Book Gu possessed enough mental food, would it obtain the opportunity to comprehend the second ability.

After understanding this information, Long Xuan clenched his fists excitedly, full of energy, preparing to distribute the books in the city today.

In this month, he had already printed countless copies of "Journey to the West," but the Book Worm was sleeping. Before the Book Worm completely transformed into a Gu worm, he naturally didn't dare to distribute "Journey to the West" easily.

Each original novel only corresponded to one Gu. If someone used his "Journey to the West" to refine the Book Gu in advance, he would be able to cry to death. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 480 =====
