Chapter 5

The Gu refining steps are very simple; just gather all the spirit insects needed on the Gu formula, then put them into the Gu vessel and starve them for a period of time, forcing them to devour each other, and given time, they can become Gu.

If it is some insect species that do not like to fight, other means are needed to stimulate the ferocity in their bodies, but these means are temporarily not what he can understand.

Spirit insects devouring each other needs digestion time; some need to wait for forty-nine days, some need to wait for eighty-one days, and some powerful Gu species even need to wait for three years, with no fixed number.

Gu refining takes a long time, which is nothing; the difficulty is that Gu refining has a failure rate; some Gu formulas have a success rate of one-tenth, and some Gu formulas have a success rate of one-thousandth; those with black faces may not be able to refine Gu even if they refine it ten thousand times.

Once Gu refining fails, all materials will be lost, and the invested resources will all be thrown into the water.

Long Xuan didn't know what the success rate of this Gu formula was at all, he just prepared ten portions of materials and bought ten Gu vessels for Gu refining, intending to refine Gu at the same time.

Many Gu cultivators refine Gu like this, casting a wide net to catch big fish, and it saves time.

Even if it is refined repeatedly, it doesn't matter; you can take out the excess Gu worms and sell them, which will not only not lose money but will also earn a sum.

It is worth mentioning that Gu worms eat their own kind, so every Gu cultivator can only raise one of the same kind of Gu worm; if you refine too many, you can only trade them out as soon as possible.

However, soon Long Xuan found that his preparation seemed redundant, and he discovered another function of the golden finger.

When refining Gu, you can also see the progress on the Gu vessel. Once the progress reaches 100%, it is the day the Gu is formed.

Then the question is, if the spirit insects in a Gu vessel are destined not to form Gu, will progress still be displayed?

Is it true that a Gu vessel that can display progress will definitely form Gu, and a Gu vessel that does not display progress is destined to fail in Gu refining?

Then can he immediately open the Gu vessel that did not appear progress, and then find a time and place to refine Gu again, until the Gu vessel can see progress?

Long Xuan's scalp was about to explode.

That is to say, his success rate of Gu refining might be 100%, completely without having to gamble on that damn success rate like other Gu cultivators, and without worrying about wasting materials.

He felt that he could challenge the heaven-defying Gu formula with a success rate of one-ten-thousandth.

Long Xuan's breathing became rapid; the function of this golden finger is a bit heaven-defying.

Time passed in a flash for forty-nine days, and Long Xuan's ten Gu vessels finally had movement.

And just as he expected, once numbers appeared on the Gu vessel, the success rate was bound to be 100%, and the moment the numbers became 100% was the day the Gu was formed.

It was precisely because of the number reminder that Long Xuan waited early today and witnessed the scene of the Gu worm breaking out of the vessel with his own eyes.

Long Xuan opened his eyes wide, and his excited mood could not be suppressed.

The ten Gu vessels changed almost at the same time, and ten red Little Strongs crawled out of the Gu vessels one after another.

Sure enough, all ten Gu vessels formed Gu, without wasting any materials, and the Gu formation rate was 100%.

This is completely unimaginable in the eyes of others.

Long Xuan ran over excitedly, took out Gu jars and buckled them on their bodies, and divided them into ten to pack them up.

He didn't forget the taboo of Gu worms, eating their own kind.

To avoid them devouring each other, they must be separated as soon as possible.

After doing all this, Long Xuan had time to study them carefully.

He had long named this new Gu species that appeared for the first time in this world "Little Strong Gu."

Long Xuan pricked his finger with a needle and dripped a drop of blood on the head of the Little Strong Gu, simply completing the blood contract ritual.

The moment he established a soul connection with it, although Long Xuan could not communicate with it through language, he soon knew its ability through the power of the soul.

Things were indeed as he expected; the Gu worm refined from a hundred cockroaches possessed the ability of Little Strong's immortality.

Of course, it is not absolute immortality; because the R&D funds were too small and all the most ordinary materials were used, there are still too many forces that can kill Little Strong, but it can be summarized as immortality against conventional strike capabilities of the same rank.

Truly achieving an immortal body might only be possible if you use top-grade spirit insect cockroaches to refine Gu.

The Little Strong Gu refined from low-grade cockroaches has too many means to be killed, far from being any immortal body; it is more vivid to say it is more resistant to beating.

The ability to resist beating may not count for anything in the eyes of large clans, but in the world of scattered cultivators, this definitely counts as a quite good ability.

Long Xuan was already very satisfied; he never thought about creating a true immortal body with a pile of the cheapest materials; that was absolutely an impossible thing.

He placed the Little Strong Gu in the center of his palm with satisfaction, liking this debut work very much.

According to the division of Gu worm quality in this world, his Little Strong Gu should belong to low-grade Gu worms.

The quality of Gu worms in this world is divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.

Top-grade Gu worms are the kings of Gu, and they are the things all Gu cultivators desire most to obtain.

The dream of all Gu cultivators is to refine a top-grade Gu worm in their lifetime; every top-grade Gu worm has a fatal attraction to Gu cultivators.

But the difficulty of refining top-grade Gu worms is extremely great, and there are very few possessors.

Long Xuan is determined to create a top-grade Gu formula, and refining top-grade Gu worms is also his dream.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to refine a top-grade Gu worm the first time he refines Gu; the quality of Gu worms is determined by the main materials in the Gu formula.

The so-called main material is the spirit insect that can definitely laugh to the end after all the spirit insects in the Gu formula kill each other.

The main material must be the spirit insect with the highest combat power among all materials in the Gu formula, and it must be able to stay to the end, otherwise if the main material dies, it means Gu refining fails.

If the main material is a top-grade spirit insect, then the refined Gu worm is a top-grade Gu worm.

By the same token, the main material of the Little Strong Gu uses low-grade materials, so no matter how strange the ability is, it must be classified into low-grade Gu worms.

But in Long Xuan's view, although the Little Strong Gu belongs to the weakest low-grade Gu worm, its ability to resist beating might be more practical than medium-grade Gu worms.

But the same kind of Gu worm can only use one; this Gu refining had a small accident, resulting in nine extra Little Strong Gu.

How to deal with the remaining nine Little Strong Gu became a problem; you can't waste things by feeding them to Brother Chicken.

After thinking about it, Long Xuan decided to sell the extra Gu worms like other scattered cultivators.

There are quite a few scattered cultivators who sell unique Gu worms in the market; in this world, creating your own Gu formula is not a strange thing.

Because the materials for low-grade Gu formulas can be single digits, or even just two materials. It is possible to guess a Gu formula by using the "Random Method."

Many scattered cultivators without inheritance are Gu worms guessed by the "Random Method," so unique Gu formulas are everywhere in this world, and everyone has the ability to create their own Gu formulas.

It's just that the unique Gu formulas of scattered cultivators are often repeated and generally extremely weak because of the few materials.

However, top-grade Gu formulas are definitely not something a normal person can create; Long Xuan can expose the ability to create his own Gu formulas, but he must never expose the ability to create his own top-grade Gu formulas.

So it is not an eye-catching thing for him to go to the market to sell unique Gu worms, and he can do it boldly.

He is too poor now and urgently needs a huge amount of funds to buy that piece of black iron and that piece of high-grade spirit stone.

He can even set up a stall to sell his unique Gu worms for a long time like other scattered cultivators.

The cost of Little Strong Gu is very cheap, but the selling price can be very high, and what is even more excessive is that there is no failure rate, which is completely a huge profit.

As for being bought by others and used to deal with himself, he doesn't care at all; after all, it is a low-grade Gu worm; he actually has better choices; the Little Strong Gu is just a transition for him and will soon be eliminated, so let others use it however they want.

It's just that he can't find the materials at all now, so he can only temporarily use the Little Strong Gu as a substitute.

The better choice in his mouth is actually the famous water bear insect from his previous life.

When it comes to immortality, cockroaches are completely younger brothers in front of water bear insects.

Water bear insects can withstand 151°C ultra-high temperature and minus 272°C ultra-low temperature.

Being placed in the deepest Mariana Trench cannot kill it, atomic bomb radiation cannot kill it, and scientists sent it into space and didn't kill it; even without food and water, it can hold on for thirty years.

Water bear insects are resistant to hypoxia and vacuum, resistant to high pressure and low pressure, can regenerate broken limbs, and can even repair DNA damage.

The vitality of water bear insects can be called a miracle of the world; the earth has experienced five biological mass extinction events, which wiped out the vast majority of creatures, but only it was not wiped out.

However, the volume of water bear insects is really too small; the vast majority of water bear insects are only 3 to 5 microns, which is too small to be observed with the naked eye, and can only be clearly seen with the help of a microscope.

So to refine Water Bear Gu, you must first refine Microscope Gu.

This also requires him to create his own Gu formula; Water Bear Gu cannot be completed in a short time.

When the Microscope Gu comes out, he will see more micro-insect types.

You must know that micro-insect types are Gu worms that have not yet been discovered by Gu cultivators in this world; they are huge in variety, but have not been named and have never been captured by anyone; this is what a huge resource treasure house.

All the micro-spirit insects in the world will belong to him alone.

Gu worms in this world, in addition to being divided into two major categories: Internal Gu and External Gu, can also be further subdivided below: Natural System, Enhancement System, Animal System, Plant System, Pupil System, Dark System, Demon System, Special System, Production System...

He may create a new school—Micro-life System; he will become the founding ancestor of this school.

Long Xuan is full of ambition for the future.
