Chapter Summaries

Fang Yuan used his knowledge of the Theory of Three Venerables and Ma Hongyun’s future to enter Lang Ya Blessed Land through a hidden passage. There, the land spirit recognized Fang Yuan’s disguise and demanded his Human Skin Gu recipe, while Fang Yuan insisted the land spirit honor the agreement to refine three Gu for the Demon Venerable’s inheritor.

• After threatening Fang Yuan failed, the land spirit dropped his anger and pleaded with him to exchange the recipe.

Fang Yuan traded recipes with Lang Ya Earth Spirit to obtain Sky Connecting Gu and Divine Sense Gu, while discovering that Star Gate Gu could be improved with rare Starlight Firefly Gu. He failed to persuade the earth spirit to acquire the firefly Gu from Yellow Treasure Heaven, but realized he might be able to use the earth spirit’s trading rule to his advantage.

• Lang Ya Earth Spirit said he had seen Starlight Firefly Gu in Yellow Treasure Heaven but refused to buy it, insisting that he traded only for Gu insects already in the blessed land.
• Fang Yuan considered the earth spirit’s restriction and suddenly thought of a way to exploit it.

Fang Yuan learned that Lang Ya Blessed Land would not trade away the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus and considered how to use his three Gu-refining opportunities. He left uncertain whether to spend one on Star Gate Gu, which he urgently needed, or save the opportunities for a better use.

• Fang Yuan asked to exchange an Immortal Gu Formula for the Heavenly Origin Treasure Emperor Lotus, but the land spirit refused and offered other Immortal Gu in exchange for suitable formulas.
• Fang Yuan considered Beast Taming Gu, then offered formulas for Second Aperture Gu and Blood God Child, but Lang Ya Blessed Land already had the first formula and the second was incomplete.
• The land spirit explained that Fang Yuan could use three opportunities to refine Gu and promised to refine Star Gate Gu if Fang Yuan chose it.
• Fang Yuan realized that refining Immortal Gu would require a formula, could waste an opportunity if it failed, and would not help him much while he remained a mortal.
• Fang Yuan weighed his need for Star Gate Gu against saving his opportunities, while recognizing that his cultivation and resources had reached a bottleneck.
