"A skull sculpture shaped like a lion and tiger, isn't this the rumored mechanism that requires two people to work together?" A thought immediately flashed through Fang Yuan's mind.
"There are even words carved on the sculpture's fangs." Bai Ning Bing made a new discovery. She read the words in a low voice, "Gemini with one heart, three spirits unite. Fated or not, don't force it … what does this mean? "
"This is the password to activate the mechanism here. Gemini means that two people must work together to activate the mechanism. Three spirits respectively refer to a person's heart, palm, and eyes. "Fang Yuan recalled.
The most dexterous of the four limbs was the palm, the most agile of the five senses were the eyes, and a person's thoughts were as fast as lightning. They were the most agile.
Therefore, they were collectively known as the three spirits.
"Come, place your palm on the sculpture's pupil."
In the eye sockets of the skull sculpture, there was a pair of sparkling and translucent rubies. The rubies were as big as bowls, reflecting Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's figures.
But when Fang and Bai placed their palms on the ruby pupil, they didn't move for a long time.
"Hehe, what you said makes sense, but it turns out to be wrong." Bai Ning Bing didn't let go of any chance to mock Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's expression darkened. In his memories from his past life, Bai Hua had emphasized on describing this mechanism. Logically speaking, this should be the way to go. But why didn't they move?
"Gemini with one heart, three spirits unite …" Fang Yuan murmured, "He did the three spirits unite, but one heart, one heart …"
As he pondered, a glimmer of light slowly appeared in his eyes.
Could it be that the two people who wanted to activate this mechanism had to be of one heart and one mind?
If that was the case, although he and Bai Ning Bing were working together, they were forced by the situation. In reality, they appeared to be united but were actually divided, each with their own plans. How could they be "of one heart"!
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at Bai Sheng and Bai Hua again.
Thus, this pair of siblings was kicked awake by Fang Yuan again.
"Evil thief, what do you want?!" After Bai Sheng woke up, he let out an angry roar.
Bai Hua, on the other hand, stopped crying. Her large eyes stared at Fang and Bai, revealing a deep hatred.
This time, Fang Yuan did not have the patience to explain. He grabbed both of their palms and placed them on the pair of ruby eyes.
As expected of the destined heirs, the moment their hands touched it, the ruby suddenly lit up.
Kacha kacha.
The skull slowly opened its mouth, revealing a large pile of coal and firewood.
In the center of the black coal was a simple and unadorned pottery urn. A scroll rested on top of the urn.
"What's the meaning of this?" Fang Yuan threw the two of them to the ground and picked up the scroll. Only then did he understand.
It turned out that the owner of this legacy, the Gray Bone Scholar, did not have a high aptitude and had been troubled by this his entire life of cultivation.
Throughout his life, he had been researching and refining a Gu that could help Gu Masters cultivate quickly.
He already had many Gu worms that could assist him in cultivation. The most typical example was the Liquor worm. But these Gu worms were extremely rare and hard to promote.
The Gray Bone Scholar had great ambitions and wanted to research and refine a Gu worm that could be used widely.
But even until the end of his lifespan, he had failed countless times without succeeding.
At the final juncture of his life, maybe it was heaven's pity, but when he was setting up Bai Gu Mountain's inheritance, he suddenly had an extremely ingenious inspiration.
Without the help of Gu worms, what was the most important method for a Gu Master to raise their cultivation?
That was to borrow the strength of their elders to carry out impartation.
Back then on Qing Mao mountain, Guyue Cheng had been receiving the impartation of his grandfather Guyue's primeval essence.
But this had a huge disadvantage.
That was, primeval essence was different. Relying on the superior primeval essence of the elders to cleanse the aperture walls would leave behind a different aura that would greatly restrict the Gu Master's future development.
Unless the Cleansing Water Gu was used to wash away the different aura.
However, the Cleansing Water Gu was also a rare Gu and was difficult for ordinary Gu Masters to obtain. Even clan elders had to rely on luck and pay a huge price.
Thus, the impartation method was not widely used.
Thus, this Gray Bone Scholar had a wondrous idea.
If there was a Gu that could convert other people's primeval essence into its own, then after the impartation, wouldn't there be no side effect of the different aura?
After a series of attempts, he eliminated many possibilities and finally left behind a plan with the highest chance of success.
The name of this plan was — "Bone Flesh Unity Gu."
The scroll said: To refine this Gu, two Gu Masters must work at the same time. And these two Gu Masters must be related by blood. Parents and children, or twins. Relying on the connection of the same bloodline, the primeval essence can be converted.
Of course, the Gray Bone Scholar did not have the time to put this idea into practice. After making most of his preparations, he helplessly stopped at the most crucial point.
Although he had two titles, he was alone. He lacked two Gu Masters who fulfilled the requirements.
The last contents of the scroll revealed the endless regret of the Gray Bone Scholar.
He did not have time to make further preparations and could only leave this high platform behind. But if someone was fated to come here and could open this mechanism and see this scroll, it would mean that a Gu Master who fulfilled the requirements had appeared!
"There is no harm in trying to refine it. Regardless of the result, please tell me about it in front of my grave." The words in the scroll contained the obsession of the Gray Bone Scholar.
It turned out that this high platform tower under Fang Yuan's feet was the Gray Bone Scholar's grave.
Without even trying, Fang Yuan already knew that the idea of the bone flesh unity Gu was a success. Because in his previous life, Bai Sheng and Bai Hua relied on this to dual cultivate and became the righteous path's twin stars, pushing Bai clan's power to its peak with Rank five cultivation.
But to Fang Yuan, it was somewhat troublesome now.
He had thought that the bone flesh unity Gu was already a finished product, but the truth was that it had not been refined and could not even be considered a half-finished product.
To refine the bone flesh unity Gu, he and Bai Ning Bing did not fulfill the requirements.
Unless Guyue Fangzheng was present.
But even so, the refined bone flesh unity Gu would not be very good.
According to the scroll, bone flesh unity Gu was a general name for a series of Gu and not a specific type of Gu. The closer the relationship between the two Gu Masters refining the Gu, the better the quality of the refined bone flesh unity Gu.
According to Fang Yuan and Fangzheng's relationship, the refined bone flesh unity Gu would not be ideal.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, this bone flesh unity Gu was definitely refined by Bai Sheng and Bai Hua. But now, it was brought forward by so many years, although they were in harmony, they had not become Gu Masters and could not fulfill this requirement.
The bone flesh unity Gu was Fang Yuan's most important goal. Right now, the materials and furnace had already been prepared by the Gray Bone Scholar, only the final step was needed to refine it.
Fang Yuan was naturally unwilling to give up.
But to refine it, not only could he not fulfill the refinement requirements, there was also a group of strong enemies chasing after him.
Time was pressing, Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk.
He and Bai Ning Bing only took up half of the quota, but the siblings Bai Sheng and Bai Hua took up the other half. If the four of them worked together, there might be hope of success.
"Come and lend me a hand." Fang Yuan started to light the dry firewood in the skull sculpture.
The flame immediately rose and burned fiercely.
"You plan to forcefully refine it?" Bai Ning Bing was shocked, "This is not a wise choice."
Although she said so, she still made her move, placing her palm on the ruby pupil and pouring her primeval essence inside.
The flame suddenly changed color, from orange to eerie blue.
The clay urn was being roasted in the flame, and the sleeping Gu worms inside were awakened and started to struggle crazily. The clay urn shook continuously, but did not break.
The refinement process was not complicated, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing took turns pouring their primeval essence.
Soon, they reached the most crucial step.
This step required the fresh flesh of two Gu Masters to be thrown into the fire to be roasted. The scroll stated clearly that the more flesh there was, the better the effect.
"I just happen to have flesh-bone with me, there is no harm in cutting off a few pieces of flesh." Bai Ning Bing was about to make a move, but was stopped by Fang Yuan.
"Wait, I have a better idea."
Bai Ning Bing followed Fang Yuan's gaze and looked at the twin siblings Bai Sheng and Bai Hua.
"You actually want to change the recipe at the last minute?" Bai Ning Bing immediately understood Fang Yuan's intention, a trace of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.
"You, what are you trying to do?!" Bai Sheng protected his sister behind him. For a moment, he felt the impending disaster, the anxiety and panic of the end of the world.
They were meat on the chopping block, when Fang and Bai were refining the Gu, they knew they could not escape, thus they obediently stayed at the side, waiting for their clansmen to rescue them.
But now, Bai Sheng was extremely regretful!
"Feel honored, your sacrifice will witness the birth of a brand new Gu worm. Thinking about it, Senior Grey Bones will be very happy in the afterlife, right? "Fang Yuan laughed malevolently, pressing towards the siblings.
"Sister, run!" Bai Sheng shouted, not retreating but advancing instead, rushing towards Fang Yuan and hugging onto Fang Yuan's leg.
"Brother!" Bai Hua's tears flowed out. Just as she was hesitating, Fang Yuan had already knocked Bai Sheng unconscious.
Seeing Fang Yuan approaching her, a huge panic spread in the little girl's heart.
She turned around and ran, but how could she match Fang Yuan's pace?
She was quickly caught by Fang Yuan, her heart sinking to the bottom, struggling in vain as she cried: "Mother, where are you?"
Fang Yuan's expression was extremely cold as he knocked her unconscious again.
In no time, he stripped off the clothes of the brother and sister. Then, he picked them up with each hand and threw them into the fire.
Once they entered the fire, they were immediately woken up by the heat, the intense pain caused them to run away like crazy.
Two people on fire jumped out of the fire, their limbs waving wildly as they struggled.
Fang Yuan snorted coldly, kicking them one by one, sending them back into the fire.
The requirement in the scroll was fresh meat, but Fang Yuan did not want to kick them to death. Thus, after kicking them in, they ran out and were kicked back in again.
This happened again and again, until Bai Sheng and Bai Hua were finally burned to death in the fire.
Their bodies gradually melted like candles. The fire turned from eerie blue to bright red like blood.
However, it could not turn into bright red or purple for a long time.
According to the scroll, only when the fire's color changed to red or purple would this crucial step be considered a success.
"What to do?" Bai Ning Bing's brows furrowed tightly. Once the Gu fusion failed, the Gu Master would also suffer a backlash.
Thoughts churned intensely in Fang Yuan's mind: "Bai Sheng and Bai Hua are the destined inheritors, but they actually failed? It seems they are not Gu Masters yet, thus there is a difference. In that case, I can only try again! "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan hesitated no longer, activating the tusita flower and spitting out a sharp blade.
He straightened his forearm and cut with the sharp blade. Fresh blood flowed, and a piece of his own flesh was thrown into the fire that was taller than a person.
"You do it." After doing all this, he threw the sharp blade to Bai Ning Bing.
"Are you sure it will work?" Bai Ning Bing hesitated for a moment, and also used the sharp blade to cut her forearm. But because of the ice muscles, the sharp blade felt like it was cutting on solid ice.
Without a choice, Bai Ning Bing could only summon the Chainsaw Golden Centipede and cut off a piece of her flesh.
When her piece of flesh was thrown into the fire, the fire immediately turned purple red.
"Good, success or failure depends on this! Let's inject primeval essence together. "Fang Yuan was overjoyed.
The two poured primeval essence into the gem eyes of the skull at the same time, and the mechanism started to close. It was like a bone beast, opening its mouth and swallowing the raging fire.
Two rows of sharp teeth were tightly clenched together, and the fire burned within, burning the skull into a crimson red color.
With a bang, it seemed like the pottery jar had exploded.
The entire skull shook because of this.
Hearing this explosion, Fang and Bai let go of their hands.
Fang Yuan stared at the commotion while extending his hand towards Bai Ning Bing.
He did not speak, but Bai Ning Bing already knew what Fang Yuan wanted.
She snorted, and in consideration of the current situation, she could only hand flesh-bone to Fang Yuan.
She did not have the ability to instantly refine Gu worms, but Fang Yuan could.
Under the Spring Autumn Cicada's aura, flesh-bone had no resistance, and was instantly refined.
But although Fang Yuan refined it, due to his cultivation, he could not use flesh-bone. Thus, he handed it over to Bai Ning Bing.
Bai Ning Bing received it and immediately activated it. An orange-yellow light enveloped the wound on her forearm. Almost in the blink of an eye, the flesh grew back, and the wound was completely healed!
But Bai Ning Bing's peak Rank Three primeval essence was instantly consumed by 20%!
The disadvantage of flesh-bone was that it required a large amount of primeval essence. If it was Fang Yuan's green copper primeval essence, even if he used it until his primeval sea dried up, he would not be able to activate it.
Immediately after, Bai Ning Bing treated Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan's face was pale. In just a short moment, he did not have ice muscles to stop the bleeding, so he lost a lot of blood.
Although the wound on his forearm had healed, the pain was still intense, and his entire heart was trembling from the pain. He even felt dizzy and dizzy!
But both of them had iron wills. Even so, their expressions did not change, and they forcibly endured the intense pain.
After a while, the skull slowly opened, and the flame inside had already dissipated.
The pottery jar and Bai Sheng's and Bai Hua's corpses were all gone.
Two Gu worms appeared in Fang Yuan's vision.
One was green and the other red, and they were like two jade bracelets, intertwined. They floated in the air, quietly emitting a warm luster.
"This is bone flesh unity Gu?" Without time to inspect it, Fang Yuan grabbed it and instantly refined it, storing it in his aperture.
"Let's go!" He sprinted down the platform, and entered the new secret tunnel at the end of the hall.
In just a moment, Bai clan's Gu Masters arrived at this hall.
"Someone refined Gu here!" The remnant aura in the air caused many clan elders' expressions to change.
"Look, there are two young masters' clothes here." Soon, they found the children's clothing that was torn by Fang Yuan on the platform.
Seeing this, an extremely bad feeling struck Bai clan leader's heart, almost causing her vision to turn black.
She did not even dare to think about it.
"Chase! They're not far away. My child is definitely in their hands! "The Hundred Clans Master roared. Her eyes were bloodshot." You're right. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Yisou.
