Chapter 69: Conceiving the Third Top-Grade Gu Formula

~23 min read 4,568 words

However, Long Xuan's overly cautious character felt that one hundred years of lifespan was not very certain. Logically speaking, the power was already enough.

But what if Feng Wu dodged the attack and it exploded off-target? What if Feng Wu happened to have some defensive treasure?

Theoretically, there were too many uncertain factors. What if these situations really happened? What if it was just a sliver of blood short and didn't explode to death?

Long Xuan's suspicion was heavy. He would rather waste another hundred years of lifespan than eliminate that sliver of uncertain factors.

Anyway, he already had seven hundred more years of lifespan than his peers, and it would continue to increase in the future, so there was no need to save it.

So he gritted his teeth and added another hundred years of lifespan to the Yuan Qi Bomb. With the injection of another hundred years of lifespan, the Yuan Qi Bomb became larger and brighter, releasing brilliant light and power that made people palpitate.

"Go to hell!"

When the Yuan Qi Bomb was unstable to the extreme, Long Xuan quickly smashed the Yuan Qi Bomb toward the furious Feng Wu, and then turned around and ran.

He had already anticipated that the Yuan Qi Bomb with two hundred years of lifespan would produce a terrifying explosion. The destructive power generated by the explosion was enough to affect him. At this time, if he didn't run, when would he?

"Hmph! Small trick!"

A pair of black phoenix wings grew on Feng Wu's back, firmly blocking his front.

He had already seen the extraordinary nature of this move, but so what? Even if the Ten Extremes Body was awesome, it was impossible to fight across three levels, so he didn't put this flying light group in his eyes.

However, he was destined to pay a heavy price for his contempt.

"Boom!!!"

The Yuan Qi Bomb heavily bombarded his phoenix wings, releasing brilliant strong light, and then instantly exploded, producing a deafening roar.

His pair of black wings were like paper, directly evaporated by the strong light. Without the cover of the wings, the destructive power wantonly washed over Feng Wu's body, making him let out a painful scream. In just an instant, his whole person was crushed into pieces by the destructive power, and the scream stopped abruptly.

However, this was not over yet. The power of the Yuan Qi Bomb was not poured out at all, and the range of the explosion continued to expand, continuing to impact in all directions.

At this moment, the earth was trembling crazily, and the ground was lifted in patches, smashing toward all directions under the wrapping of the air wave.

"Puff!"

Even though Long Xuan had already run quite far, he still couldn't escape the ravages of the Vitality Bomb. He suddenly felt a searing, fiery pain in his back, and then his whole body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the distance, landing in a pathetic heap.

Then he knelt on the ground and sprayed blood.

He, who had already run very far, was still like this, let alone the others on the battlefield.

At this time, the crowd who were fighting were fighting happily, but suddenly they were stunned by the sudden explosion. Everyone was included, baptized and ravaged by the explosion wantonly.

Thus, Long Xuan's teammates were once again caught in the crossfire, sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion, blown away to who knows where, and landing on the ground while spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Feng Clan Gu cultivators who were fighting with them couldn't be spared either, directly affected by the explosion. Those who should fly flew, and those who were close were directly torn into pieces by the violent power, blown to the point of not even having bones left.

At the same time, Long Qilin, Feng San, and Feng Si, who were fighting, also sprayed a mouthful of blood together. The three flew horizontally directly, heavily hitting a giant stone under the wrapping of the shock wave.

Instantly, they hit the giant stone to pieces and rolled out very far, and finally climbed up with both hands on the ground, sprayed a mouthful of blood, and were all seriously injured.

As for that Decay Gu, although it was a top-grade Gu worm, its defense was unexpectedly brittle, actually being instantly exploded into pieces, not even having time to make a sound before evaporating.

The sudden explosion completely stunned the three. Their brains were buzzing, and each one was confused, revealing a look of disbelief.

The explosion happened too suddenly. Caught off guard, all three were seriously injured.

Long Qilin's body refining was strong, so he was better, but Feng San and Feng Si's injuries were much heavier than his.

The three Gu cultivators at the early stage of Essence Refining were still like this, let alone the other Gu cultivators at the Spirit Gathering stage.

Except for Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy who had Cockroach Gu, they were luckily blown into a half-dead state, but at least they still had a breath left.

As for the others, they were all blown to death, and the Feng Clan Gu cultivators were completely wiped out, with not a single one alive.

All survivors revealed looks of horror, not knowing what happened.

Long Xuan's big move to wash the ground was truly too ruthless, hurting the enemy first and then hurting teammates.

Even the Feng Clan Gu cultivators were blown to death, how could Ma Lao and others be spared?

However, even without Long Xuan, they were destined to be killed by the Feng Clan Gu cultivators today, and even before being washed by the Yuan Qi Bomb, they were already almost killed by the Feng Clan Gu cultivators. The result was the same.

At least under this move, Li Laodao and Little Medicine Boy could get rid of the pursuit of the Feng Clan Gu cultivators, which was equivalent to saving two more people. It was a tie, and Long Xuan could only comfort himself like this in his heart, then got up, turned around, and ran.

Long Qilin was still dizzy until now, completely stunned by the explosion, looking at Long Xuan's fleeing back, his expression dull.

This is the power of the Ten Extremes Body? This is a bit too exaggerated!

He felt that the historical records were wrong. The description of the Ten Extremes Body in the historical records was too conservative, and it was written too lightly.

When Long Xuan ran far away, he finally reacted, quickly got up and shook his head, and then turned around and ran.

If not now, when?

"Don't run!"

Feng San followed and got up, suppressed the injuries on his body, endured the pain, and chased after him.

"Brother!!!"

Feng Si finally discovered that his own biological brother Feng Wu had been blown to the point of not even having bones left. He roared like crazy, and then regardless of everything, he chased toward Long Xuan.

How fast was the speed of a Gu cultivator at the Essence Refining stage? Feng San and Feng Si ran south and north, and before long, the distance had been pulled very far.

Feng San soon reacted that Feng Si hadn't followed. When he looked back, a piece of tall trees in the back blocked, and where was Feng Si's figure?

"Damn! What on earth is he doing!"

Feng Si cursed, and suddenly his face changed.

"Bad! Where is my Decay Gu!"

He secretly said it was not good, and then was shocked.

Without the restriction of the Decay Gu, Long Qilin is now at the mid-stage of Essence Refining with the blessing of the Ascending Dragon Gu, and he is only at the early stage of Essence Refining, and he is alone, and even injured heavier than Long Qilin.

He realized that the situation was wrong, immediately stopped his footsteps, and gave up the pursuit.

However, Long Qilin clearly discovered this situation at this time, found that he had returned to the mid-stage of Essence Refining, and behind him was just a small early-stage Essence Refining who dared to chase him.

He couldn't help but grin. A god-given opportunity, such a good opportunity, how could he not grasp it? So he immediately stopped his footsteps, waved his fists, turned around, and smashed toward Feng San, suddenly killing a return shot...

Speaking of Long Xuan at this time, when he used the Heavenly Mechanism Eye to see a Gu cultivator at the Essence Refining stage with a hideous face hanging behind him, he was shocked and turned around to run toward the complex terrain.

At this time, he once again realized the importance of speed. His short legs couldn't run past the Gu cultivator at the Essence Refining stage, so he could only use the complex terrain to shake him off.

The matter of creating his own movement technique must be put on the agenda, and he must do it when he goes back, but let's talk about it after escaping this disaster.

The mountain road was rugged, with many pits, and fallen branches and leaves covered them, making it hard for people to notice.

Long Xuan specifically ran to places with many pits, but his Heavenly Mechanism Eye had a slight perspective ability, which could perfectly avoid the pits under the branches and leaves.

And Feng Si behind him was miserable, feeling the softness under his feet from time to time, sinking deep, making him almost fall. Before running for a long distance, he didn't know how many times he had fallen.

Even though he was one major realm higher than Long Xuan, he was unable to catch up with him.

But it was obviously impossible to shake him off just by relying on the depressions on the road.

Feng Si had already lost his reason in anger. In his eyes, there was only Long Xuan's back, endless and dying.

Until he pulled a huge black beetle from the Gu-raising bag and rode on its back. Although the speed was not as fast as before, the big beetle was like walking on flat ground here, ignoring the pits on the ground, and actually gradually began to catch up with Long Xuan.

Long Xuan was shocked. The characteristic of insects was small. If they weren't small, were they still called insects?

It was his first time seeing such a big Gu worm, actually capable of being ridden by people. This already had the potential of a mount.

At this moment, he gave birth to an impulse to refine a large Gu worm. How could he not have a car when he was out?

However, now was not the time to think about these things. If he continued to think wildly, he would be caught up by that big beetle.

Without taking much time, Long Xuan thought of a way to break the situation. He had Gu worms, didn't he have Gu worms?

So Long Xuan finally took out Little White, who was still sleeping, from the Gu-raising bag. Little White drank too much distilled wine and had been sleeping soundly in the Gu-raising bag. At this time, it was sleeping sweetly.

Drinking wine misleads things. It didn't help at all in the battle just now, but it was very big-hearted.

But now it was a matter of life and death, so he couldn't let it sleep anymore. Was this the reincarnation of the God of Sleep?

Long Xuan shook it awake with force.

"Stop sleeping, open your eyes and look at me!"

Little White opened its eyes in a daze, looked at him with sleepy eyes, looked at his back again, released its slow domain, and continued to sleep soundly.

At this time, Long Xuan was pulling its tail, and it was head down, hanging like a rope, swaying with the wind.

It could even sleep in this posture. Long Xuan was completely convinced. What kind of ancestor did he raise?

As soon as the slow domain opened, the speed of the person and Gu behind him dropped instantly.

Feng Si only felt that there was an endless resistance preventing any of his actions, making every step he took abnormally strenuous.

Not only did the speed drop significantly, but the physical consumption also increased exponentially. He used all the strength of eating milk, but he couldn't get any closer, but was thrown further and further away.

He was completely dumbfounded. What kind of ability was this? This kind of ability was also something he had never seen in this region, and he didn't know how to crack it at all.

"It's a top-grade Gu worm!"

Feng Si's pupils shrank, revealing a look of shock.

Top-grade Gu worms were the highest quality of Gu worms and the most rare existence. Even if he was from a great clan, he hadn't seen many.

He really didn't expect that a small loose cultivator would also have a top-grade Gu worm, and the ability was so strange.

In most cases, the ability of Gu worms had very little effect on those one realm higher, or even completely ineffective, such as the Decay Gu.

But this little white snake obviously didn't belong to this list. Its ability could actually ignore the realm gap, which made him feel surprised and also felt tricky.

Action slowed down, meaning that no matter what, he couldn't catch up with Long Xuan anymore. Continuing to chase was meaningless.

Feng Si checked Long Xuan's spiritual power situation again, and he suddenly had an impulse to vomit blood.

Full! Actually full!

He had been fighting for a long time just now and released a big move that blew everyone to death. Until now, his spiritual power was actually full!

He couldn't understand at all, where did this monster come from? He was messy.

At this time, he had regained his reason. The opponent was clearly very persistent. Under this damn resistance, he had to consume exponentially. If he didn't do well, he really couldn't outlast this kid.

"Damn! Where did this freak come from!"

Feng Si gritted his teeth and hated, finally stopped his footsteps. At this time, he finally thought that Long Qilin hadn't been solved, and Feng San hadn't followed.

Business is important. Since it was impossible to catch up in a short time, he decisively gave up the pursuit and turned around to run back.

Seeing Feng Si finally riding the big beetle and turning around to leave, Long Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted his frightened little heart, and felt lingering fears.

This trip was really dangerous, and he was also lucky that his trump cards were endless; otherwise, no matter which link was missing, he would have been unable to escape today.

He couldn't help but sigh whether this Li Laodao was poisonous. How could he always encounter various back-pointing things? If he hadn't saved him this time, even if he had Cockroach Gu, he would have died...

After Feng Si rode the big beetle back to the scene, it had been a long time. At this time, where was Long Qilin's figure?

Looking at the huge deep pit on the ground and the fragments on the edge of the deep pit, his heart sank, and he quickly looked for Feng San's figure.

Finally, at a distance from the big pit, he finally found a headless corpse.

And the area around the headless corpse was devastated. Clearly, a very tragic battle had just taken place here.

And the clothes worn on this headless corpse, wasn't it Feng San?

"Brother!!!"

He was about to split his eyes again, rushed over like crazy, hugged the headless corpse, and roared crazily. At this moment, he lost his reason again.

"Long Qilin! And that Ten Extremes Body kid! I won't be human if I don't kill you..."

The hoarse echo turned around in the mountain, spreading very far.

Long Xuan didn't know that Long Qilin had already slaughtered Feng San. Speaking of which, he was full of wisdom, predicted the enemy generously, and backhands came one after another.

Logically speaking, any backhand he arranged could win steadily, but after such sufficient preparation, he finally died. His death was really a bit unjust.

It was also Feng Si's fault for being easily blinded by anger, easily losing his reason, not distinguishing which head was light and which was heavy, and having no overall view at all.

If he hadn't lost his mind to chase Long Xuan, his brother would never have died.

After Long Xuan luckily escaped a disaster, he didn't dare to wander around anymore. Now the teammates were dead or fled, and no one led him. He didn't know anything about everything here, so how could he dare to wander around?

Originally, he wanted to use the Heavenly Mechanism Eye to find a cave, but he suddenly thought that there were many spirit beasts here, and spirit beasts also liked to drill into caves and treat caves as their homes.

What if he entered a cave with an owner and was blocked inside by the spirit beast returning home? Wouldn't he become a turtle in a jar?

So he decisively gave up this idea, found a giant tree, and climbed up, preparing to hide in the tree for a period of time, and then consider going back after his injuries were healed.

Although he was also seriously injured by that explosion just now, he was much lighter than the others.

Cockroach Gu not only had strong defensive ability but also strong self-healing ability. Long Xuan didn't need to heal for long before he could recover.

Climbing to the tree and having nothing to do, sitting dry was also boring, so Long Xuan took out paper and pen and began to think about creating the third Gu formula, and let the clones stand guard on other trees.

This time he accidentally picked up a top-grade spirit insect, and the main material for a top-grade Gu formula was already there. He already had the conditions to create a top-grade Gu formula, so Long Xuan began to move again, his expression full of excitement...

In fact, he had already done a lot of homework before coming. The spirit insects born from spirit beasts were often used to refine animal Gu.

Animal Gu was one of the common Gu species, and he had seen it with his own eyes on Long Lie.

Animal Gu would reveal some characteristics of spirit beasts, including similarity in form and similarity in ability.

For example, Long Lie's Dog Gu perfectly inherited the dog's sense of smell, and even exceeded it, so that he could easily smell the wine gas on Long Xuan.

The animal's body was far too magical compared to humans. There were all kinds of strange abilities, and the Gu worms inheriting these characteristics were often more troublesome than the other.

Animal Gu not only included outer Gu with formidable physical bodies but also inner Gu. The inner Gu in animal Gu could make Gu cultivators semi-beastified, equivalent to Gu cultivators possessing a transformation ability. Once transformed, combat power would soar.

The ability of animal Gu was very complex, and the upper limit was also very high, so Long Xuan was very interested in animal Gu.

Since most of the spirit insects born from spirit beasts were used to refine animal Gu, he decided that the third top-grade Gu worm would be animal Gu.

He used his deep and bottomless wild imagination again, his brain running at high speed, and all kinds of magical ideas appeared in his mind, and were filtered out by him one by one.

He wanted to refine animal Gu, and he also wanted to refine it differently, to be different from others, to be unconventional, and even to create a system, to become a school, and to be rebellious.

Otherwise, he might as well use the Gu formula of this world directly. Spending so much time creating a Gu formula but having no advantage, then why did he create it?

Creating a Gu formula requires a massive amount of time. He must be worthy of such a long cost and harvest in proportion to the time used; otherwise, it is better not to create it.

It was precisely under such psychology that his requirements were too high. Looking at his amazing wild imagination, it was not something that could be thought of in a short time.

Soon he frowned. He had many ideas, but now there was a very fatal problem in front of him.

Animal Gu was not only similar to spirit beasts in ability but also similar in form.

For example, Long Lie's Dog Gu was a miniature version of a small dog. People who didn't know the industry couldn't see that it belonged to insects at all.

Then the problem came. His top-grade Gu worm was dug out from the rabbit's body. If he followed this rule, wouldn't it mean that the Gu worm he refined would look like a rabbit?

How could this be? Rabbits were truly too weak in this world and couldn't be taken out at all.

What could the rabbit's form do? Could it hurt people by selling cuteness?

Long Xuan hurriedly shook his head and was very dissatisfied with this. His animal Gu must absolutely not look like a rabbit. Form was truly too important for a species.

Some forms were suitable for fighting, and some forms were not suitable for fighting; otherwise, why would the insects in this world be divided into five poisons, and why would they be divided into high and low innately?

If the Gu worm he refined looked like a rabbit, then this Gu worm was basically scrapped. He absolutely couldn't let such a thing happen.

Long Xuan's brain ran at high speed again, I don't know how many brain cells were killed. Until the brain CPU was smoking, he finally had a flash of inspiration, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

He was a man who liked to be rebellious. Why follow the rules? Others refine what they look like, but he insisted on refining a four-unlike.

He insisted on kneading the characteristics of multiple animals together, creating a monster with multiple parts of spirit beasts, a monster that looked like nothing.

Once the brain thinking was opened, he soon had inspiration.

He soon thought of a four-unlike monster from his past life.

This monster had antlers like a deer, a head like a camel, eyes like a rabbit, a neck like a snake, a belly like a clam, scales like a fish, claws like an eagle, paws like a tiger, and ears like a cow.

This monster was precisely the famous Eastern Divine Dragon from his past life.

Since the Gu worm he refined with this top-grade spirit insect was destined to look like a rabbit, he would only let it look like a rabbit's eyes. In this way, it would match the eyes of the Eastern Divine Dragon.

When the time came, he would find the spirit insects of the other eight spirit beasts and piece them together, making them each look like a part, and piece all the parts together. Wouldn't it be a living Eastern Divine Dragon?

Long Xuan's eyes suddenly released a hot gaze, and his heartbeat accelerated.

To verify this idea, he hurriedly wrote the two words "Dragon Gu" on the paper, which was considered a proposition.

Then he quickly wrote down the nine spirit insects about the nine spirit beasts.

After writing in one breath, he hurriedly looked at the progress above the paper and instantly revealed a look of excitement.

There was actually progress. Since there was progress, it meant that his idea was completely feasible in theory. He could really create a Gu worm that looked very much like an Eastern Divine Dragon.

Regardless of whether the Gu worm he created was a dragon or not, as long as the form was the same, it was enough for him, enough for him to spare no effort to spend a lot of time to research it out.

Think about it, the mounts used by others were big beetles, and he was directly riding an Eastern Divine Dragon to roam in the sky. How cool was this?

He just had the idea of refining a mount when he was fleeing just now. Didn't he have it now?

Long Xuan's eyes lit up, and he slowly drew a smile.

However, he soon couldn't laugh, and his smiling face stiffened on his face.

He was too excited just now and didn't think so much. Now, after the fact, he finally discovered a very terrifying thing.

That was that completing this Gu formula definitely required the top-grade spirit insects of nine spirit beasts.

These were nine top-grade spirit insects. Where was he going to get them!

These were not the top-grade spirit insects of the microscopic world, which could be grabbed in handfuls. Top-grade spirit insects were truly too rare. Even if you had more spirit stones, you wouldn't know where to buy them.

As for replacing the other eight spirit insects with upper-grade spirit insects, Long Xuan didn't even need to think about it; it definitely wouldn't work.

If he did this, the rabbit insect would become the only main material, and the Gu refining process would all be based on it. When it became a Gu, it would be strange if it didn't look like a rabbit.

So the other eight spirit insects must be top-grade spirit insects, and they must be on an equal footing with the rabbit insect.

Only in this way would the power of the nine parties be balanced, and when it became a Gu, each would occupy a part, rather than being completely swallowed by the strongest party.

That is to say, no matter what, Long Xuan's Gu formula had to be based on nine top-grade spirit insects. As for the other materials, there was no need to mention them. Could the number of such terrifying Gu worm materials be small? If it could be small, it would be a strange thing.

Long Xuan had already anticipated that the cost of this Gu formula would be a sky-high price far exceeding the wine Gu Little White.

The premise was that he still had to be able to find the corresponding top-grade spirit insects. This required limiting the variety. Even if he had more ways, he might not be able to find them.

This really worried him. Who knew if the other eight top-grade spirit insects could be found, and how much time would it take to find so many top-grade spirit insects?

What if he spent a lot of time to create the Dragon Gu formula with great difficulty, but it took ten years to find materials, or even couldn't find them in a lifetime? That would really be a tragic thing.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and liver it! Who could refuse the temptation of a cool mount?

Furthermore, he was the protagonist. He didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to collect those materials with his protagonist halo.

He was like a gambler, completely regardless of the consequences, and began to liver the Gu formula on the tree.
