Chapter 55: Cockroach-Style Gu Refining Method

After looting the entire cave abode, Long Xuan walked out of the cave abode with excitement, and by the way, dug out all the materials for setting up the cave-protecting array and packed them away, walking toward home with a full body of storage bags.

After returning home and putting away the spoils, Long Xuan immediately prepared cotton clothes, cotton pants, and a large amount of food. He left the Lin avatar at home to look after the medicine garden and took the rest of the avatars to the Great Snow Mountain mentioned in the communication talisman.

However, the communication talisman area was simply too small, and the information that could be left was limited. He only knew that the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow was dug by Master Jin in the Great Snow Mountain, and only a general idea was mentioned about where it was dug.

Long Xuan's purpose for going to the Great Snow Mountain this time was three-fold. The first was naturally to upgrade the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow. Just this one reason alone made it a must-go.

For the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow to complete the transformation into Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, time alone is definitely not enough; a certain environment is also needed.

Otherwise, wouldn't everyone just dig out the Century Ice Marrow and keep it at home waiting for appreciation? This piece of Thousand-Year Ice Marrow had also advanced early in Master Jin's storage bag.

So if he wants the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow to continue to grow, Long Xuan must go to its birthplace personally and place it in a place suitable for its continued growth and wait patiently.

The second is to refine the Ice God Flame. The Ice God Flame is special; it is a cold flame, and refining it in a cold place will have better results.

So even without the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, it is a must-go to the Great Snow Mountain.

The third is to look for Water Bear Gu by the way. He gets excited just thinking about this matter.

Water Bear Gu lives in various harsh environments, and it is possible to find this thing in any place unsuitable for human survival.

In fact, over these years, he has let major avatars run around, and has already collected quite a few Water Bear Gu.

Water Bear Gu is really not hard to find. Because no one can see Water Bear Gu, Water Bear Gu has never been captured by humans on a large scale, so the quantity will naturally be very large.

Not to mention the large quantity of lower-grade Water Bear Gu, he even often encounters top-grade Water Bear Gu.

Because this is a world that humans have not set foot in, top-grade spirit insects that are rare in the outside world are everywhere in the microscopic world, but only Long Xuan can set foot in this world. He is equivalent to mastering the vast wealth of a world.

This couldn't help but spark an idea in Long Xuan: since he is so wealthy, he is prepared to use the cockroach-style Gu refining method to refine Water Bear Gu.

The Cockroach-Style Gu Refining Method was his own creation, and it was also the name he gave to the Gu refining method himself.

The traditional Gu refining method in this world requires a strongest main insect, and this main insect completes the swallowing of other spirit insects. His Eye of Heavenly Mechanism was also refined using the traditional Gu refining method.

And his Cockroach-Style Gu Refining Method is completely different from the traditional Gu refining method, deviating from the path.

His Cockroach-Style Gu Refining Method, strictly speaking, has no main insect. All spirit insects are treated equally, and they must be of the same species and the same quality.

If they are of different species and different qualities, a strongest main insect will definitely appear.

This also makes this Gu refining method have a huge drawback: either all materials are lower-grade, or all materials are middle-grade, or all materials are superior-grade, and they must be of the same species.

Breaking this rule will inevitably lead to a main insect.

And top-grade spirit insects are pitifully few. Refining Gu with all top-grade spirit insects is simply an impossible thing.

This also leads to the fact that this Gu refining method cannot refine top-grade Gu worms and can only mix in low-end games, simply unable to get on the stage.

It was just that when Long Xuan first traveled through, he didn't know anything and blindly fumbled to research a Cockroach Gu formula without a main insect. Otherwise, if he knew a little common sense, he would never have refined Gu like this. Unexpectedly, he stumbled and actually succeeded.

Originally, with the limitations of this Gu refining method, it was impossible to refine powerful Gu species, but it would be different if it were in the microscopic world where top-grade spirit insects are everywhere.

The Cockroach-Style Gu Refining Method is not only not weak in this field, but also outrageously strong.

Think about it, same species and same quality. If Long Xuan only uses Water Bear Gu to refine Gu, and only uses top-grade Water Bear Gu, and as many as thousands, what kind of terrifying thing will be refined?

Thinking that the materials used in this Gu formula are all top-grade spirit insects, and as many as thousands of top-grade spirit insects, Long Xuan felt horrified all over. It was simply too terrifying.

Is it really good to research such a scary Gu formula?

It is precisely because this Gu formula requires too many top-grade spirit insects that Long Xuan has not yet refined the Water Bear Gu.

Top-grade spirit insects everywhere in the microscopic world is just an exaggeration. Top-grade spirit insects are top-grade spirit insects after all. He still needs to spend a lot of time to collect them. It is impossible to collect them all easily in the market range.

Over these years, he has sent avatars to look for top-grade Water Bear Gu everywhere, but currently, he has only found about six hundred, with a wide variety of species. There are species good at resisting pressure, species good at regeneration, species good at resisting poison, and species good at resisting hunger...

He hasn't collected species good at resisting cold and heat yet, because the extreme heat and extreme cold environments are too far away, not places he can go casually.

However, although the Great Snow Mountain in the extreme cold environment is a bit far, it is not too far, otherwise Master Jin wouldn't have run to such a far place.

Now, just taking advantage of the opportunity to upgrade the Thousand-Year Ice Marrow, he will collect the Water Bear Gu species good at resisting cold by the way.

When the time comes, he will concentrate all the outstanding ones good at various fields together, and they will learn from each other's strengths to offset their weaknesses. I don't know what kind of monster will be born. Long Xuan gets excited just thinking about it.

After packing up his things at the fastest speed, he set off for his destination.

The Great Snow Mountain is really not far. The reason why it is cold is half because the mountain is high. In the past life, the higher the altitude, the colder it was, and it is even more so in this world full of spiritual power.

Long Xuan walked here in half a month, but it took another half a month to climb to the place covered in ice and snow.

As soon as he reached the mountainside, the weather suddenly changed. The air was bone-chilling, heavy snow was flying, and hurricanes were raging. The whistling sound of the cold wind came from his ears, making Long Xuan feel like it was the end of the world. He was clearly wearing several layers of cotton clothes and cotton pants, but now it felt like he was wearing a layer of paper, which didn't work at all. He wished he could go back now.

But thinking of the super Gu worm refined from thousands of top-grade spirit insects, the greed in his heart made him unable to help but persist.

Just the mountainside made his face change. How cruel would the environment at the top of the mountain be? He didn't dare to imagine it.

But he had no intention of going to the top of the mountain at all. The Great Snow Mountain was simply too high, piercing the clouds, and the terrain was steep. Even if he climbed for another month, he might not reach the top.

What's more, just the cold air on the mountainside was already difficult for him to bear. How cold would the top of the mountain be? Even if he could climb up, he would definitely freeze to death.

So Long Xuan planned to walk around the gentle slope on the mountainside, and once all the tasks were completed, he would return immediately.

How on earth did the Water Bear Gu that doesn't wear clothes live in such a ghostly place? Long Xuan really found it hard to imagine.
