Ba Shiba carefully held a Rank 1 mortal Gu, his eyes unblinking and his expression intensely focused. "This is the Second Aperture Gu?"
He examined it closely. The Gu resembled a beetle, pointed at both ends and plump in the middle, as though carved from green jade, no bigger than a finger. It felt warm, smooth, and cool in his hand.
