"Lord Fang Yuan, this is the secret room, please enter." In the dark underground tunnel, a Rank two Gu Master old man was walking in front, leading the way for Fang Yuan.
The secret room that stored the clan's Gu worm fusion recipes was not far ahead.
After Fang Yuan advanced to clan elder, his status changed drastically. The clan's collection of fusion recipes, as long as they were not Rank four or five, he had the authority to look through them.
If it was an ordinary Rank one or Rank two Gu Master, they would have to use Yuan stones or battle merits to exchange for the recipes.
This secret room was located underground in the village, and was extremely secretive. Even if the village was razed to the ground, this secret room would still exist.
Back then, the founder of the Guyue village, the first generation clan leader, found a spirit spring in this underground cave, and made the decision to establish the village here.
After generations of clan leaders' management and development, the underground cave of the Guyue village had become the Guyue clan's secret base.
Normally, ordinary Gu Masters did not have the authority to enter this place. Only clan elders and clan leaders, as well as the Dark Hall Gu Masters in charge of guarding this place, had this authority.
Many Gu Masters only came here once in their lives.
That was the aptitude ceremony, the youngsters would come to the spirit spring flower sea and use the Hope Gu to open their aperture.
Other than that, unless there was a special reason, the underground cave was absolutely forbidden for unauthorized people to enter. Even the Gu Masters guarding this place had gone through strict selection.
After all, the spirit spring in the underground cave was the foundation of the entire Guyue village. The large amounts of Yuan stones that condensed from the spring eye supported the cultivation of all the Gu Masters in the Guyue clan.
As they walked along the tunnel, the sound of their footsteps reverberated unceasingly.
The murmur of a flowing river could be vaguely heard — that was the underground river in the cave.
After a while, the Gu Master led Fang Yuan to a stone door.
He patted his stomach, and a Gu flew out of his aperture, and in a flash, it hit the stone door.
The stone door's surface rippled, like a stone thrown into the water. Next, the light on the stone door's surface changed, and gradually disappeared, revealing the secret room inside.
The secret chamber was not small. It was about an acre in size. Every few steps, there would be a stone table half the height of a person. Dozens of stone tables had white jade plates on them, and there was a Gu worm resting quietly on the plates.
These Gu worms came in all kinds of colors and were about the size of a fist. They looked very similar, like silkworms. On its head were two compound eyes similar to those of a bee or a dragonfly. His compound eyes were brightly colored, like enamel glass. However, its surface was not soft. It was covered with a layer of glossy carapace, and the carapace even had a metallic luster.
"Lord Fang Yuan, this is your first time in this secret chamber. Let me introduce them to you. These rank two Digital Shadow Gu all had a recipe recorded in them. The green Digital Shadow Gu contained almost all the Rank one recipes in the clan. The red and black Digital Shadow Gu contained a Rank two recipe. The white Gu contained a rank three recipe. The orange Digital Shadow Gu contained the rank four recipe. As for the Rank five recipe, it is naturally in the purple Digital Shadow Gu at the center of the stone platform. "
At the side, the elderly Gu Master introduced.
The Digital Shadow Gu was a type of Gu worm that could record images. One step further would be the rank three Photo-audio Gu.
After fusing it into a Photo-audio Gu, not only could it record images, it could also hear sounds. In the rock crack secret cave, the Flower Wine Monk used a Photo-audio Gu to leave Fang Yuan his last words regarding the inheritance.
But recording the recipe did not require sound, thus the Digital Shadow Gu was enough.
The fusion recipe was extremely precious. If it was recorded on ordinary bamboo paper, if it was stolen, not only could it be used to fuse the Guyue clan's unique Gu worm, it would also be a serious leak of the clan's information.
Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated. An experienced Gu Master could tell the strengths and weaknesses of the fused Gu worm from a recipe.
If the recipe was leaked, to a clan, it would be a huge loss. In future battles between Gu Masters, the clan's Gu Masters could be countered by the enemy.
Thus, recipes were strictly controlled, graded, and specially preserved.
The Digital Shadow Gu was easy to refine, and the cost was not high. It was the most common method of preserving recipes.
"Lord Fang Yuan, these Digital Shadow Gu belong to the Secret Hall clan elder, but it does not hinder you from activating your primeval essence and reading it. It is just that with your current status, you are still unable to read Rank Four and Rank Five recipes. There are two more points: The secret room is the clan's important place, your every move here will be monitored in secret. Every day, you can only stay in this secret room for fifteen minutes at a time. After the time is up, you will have to come out. "The elderly Gu Master said again.
"Hmm, I understand." Fang Yuan nodded.
"Lord Fang Yuan, I do not have the authority to enter, I will stand at the door. Once the time is up, I will call you out. "The elderly bowed.
Fang Yuan stepped into the secret room. Just as he entered, the stone door behind him turned from virtual to real, locking him in the secret room alone.
Walking in the secret room, it was quiet. Footsteps echoed in his ears, and on the surrounding walls, there were a few Water Light Gu.
The light emitted from their bodies rippled like water, and as the light and shadow changed, there were layers of ripples, bright and dim.
Fang Yuan took out a red and black Gu worm, and injected his white silver primeval essence into it. Immediately, the Digital Shadow Gu's compound eyes shone with two pillars of rainbow light.
He slightly raised the Digital Shadow Gu, and aimed the compound eyes at the white jade plate on the stone platform.
The two pillars of rainbow light converged on the white jade plate, and after a series of changes, words appeared.
This was a recipe on how to refine the Moonscar Gu.
First, it listed the pros and cons of the Moonscar Gu. The advantage of the Moonscar Gu was its attack range, which was twice that of the Moonlight Gu. Its weakness was that its attack power was not outstanding.
Next was the refinement recipe — the Moonscar Gu was refined from the combination of the Moonlight Gu and the Scar Stone Gu.
Next was the matters to take note of during the refinement, and the trick during the refinement — if you add some jade stones in the middle of the refinement. Or at night when there was plenty of moonlight, refining outdoors would have a higher chance of success.
Finally was the experiences of the refiners of the past. This part had the most content, with a voluminous amount of over ten thousand words.
Fang Yuan looked at it, and memorized some things in his heart.
After all, it was the crystallization of countless people's experiences and experiences. Some of the content, even Fang Yuan did not know.
After all, the Moonlight Gu was a Gu unique to the Guyue clan. In his previous life, he had never obtained the position of clan elder, and came here to read.
Time was limited, so Fang Yuan hurriedly glanced at it, and put the Digital Shadow Gu back to its original position, and then specifically looked at the white Digital Shadow Gu.
In the white Digital Shadow Gu, it recorded the refinement recipes of Rank three Gu worms.
Most of them were not suitable for Fang Yuan, and the Gu worms needed were all based on the Moonwhirl Gu, Moonscar Gu and so on.
Fang Yuan did not look at it in detail, and to save time, he only glanced at it hurriedly.
He had previously combined the Moonlight Gu with the Little Light Gu to refine the Moonglow Gu. On the basis of the Moonglow Gu, there were only three refinement recipes that caught Fang Yuan's eye.
The first was the Rank three Golden Moon Gu, the range was still the same as ten steps, but the attack power was increased. Once it was shot out, the golden crescent was half a person's height, and emitted a trace of domineering might.
The second was the Frost Moon Gu, the moonblade was eerie white and cold, emitting a frosty aura. The victim would feel the cold enter their body, and their movement would be slow.
The third was the Phantom Moon Gu. This Gu was special, it was not used to attack, but once activated, it would allow the Gu Master to create a phantom, diverting firepower and confusing the enemy.
Especially this Phantom Moon Gu, if it was refined, it could be used as a base to advance, and above that would be the Rank four Moonshadow Gu.
"Moonshadow Gu, can be planted into a Gu Master's aperture, and suppress the Gu Master's primeval essence." In the records regarding the Phantom Moon Gu, there was also some information about the Moonshadow Gu, providing a reference.
"Moonshadow Gu … isn't it the Gu that the Rank four clan leader used to plot against the Flower Wine Monk?" Fang Yuan saw this, and his heart moved, his brows furrowing.
There were many Gu worms in this world, and even with his five hundred years of experience, he only knew one out of ten thousand Gu worms.
He originally did not know much about the Moonshadow Gu, but now that he knew its use, his heart was filled with doubts.
The Moonshadow Gu had a special effect, suppressing a Rank four Gu Master's primeval essence by thirty percent, a Rank five Gu Master by fifteen percent, and a Rank three Gu Master by sixty percent. In other words, a C grade talent like Fang Yuan, with only forty to fifty percent primeval essence, if hit by the Moonshadow Gu, would not be able to use any primeval essence, and their battle strength would plummet, as if they were crippled.
Of course, if it was Fang Yuan himself, using the Moonshadow Gu against him would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog, with no return.
This was because once the Moonshadow Gu entered his aperture, the Spring Autumn Cicada would show its might, and under its pressure, the Moonshadow Gu would be instantly refined by Fang Yuan, becoming his possession.
What made Fang Yuan suspicious was that it was not the Moonshadow Gu, but the Flower Wine Monk.
"I remember on the image wall, the Flower Wine Monk's image was covered in blood and wounds. Earlier when he fought with the fourth generation and the clan elder, he only suffered light injuries. I thought those injuries were caused by the Moonshadow Gu, but I never thought that the Moonshadow Gu's effect was only to suppress primeval essence, preventing the Gu Master from using it. Then how did the Flower Wine Monk's injuries come about? "
Fang Yuan was a cautious person, and the more he thought, the more puzzled he became. After the Flower Wine Monk lost to the clan elder, and temporarily retreated, what happened?
If the Moonshadow Gu was not the main cause of his death, then what was the reason?
In an instant, the originally clear Flower Wine Monk's inheritance became confusing in Fang Yuan's eyes.
"Lord Fang Yuan, it has already been fifteen minutes, I believe you must have gained something. No matter what, please come back tomorrow. "At this moment, the stone door turned into nothingness again, and the old Gu Master stood at the door and said respectfully.
"Alright." Fang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he put down the Photographic Shadow Gu in his hand, and left the secret room.
Whether it was the Golden Moon, Frost Moon, or Mirage Moon, these fusion recipes were not what he wanted. That was because these Gu worms ate large amounts of moon orchid petals.
Moon orchid petals were hard to store, and could only be stored for a few days. In Fang Yuan's plan, he wanted to leave the Guyue village, and roam the world. If he refined these Gu worms, without food to feed them, they would die in half a year. He might as well not refine them.
However, there were still some Rank three recipes that he did not see.
"I'll come back tomorrow." Such a thought flashed through his mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
