Dragon Gu Nine Cycles Witness the Years

"It really is a dragon!"

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and let out a trembling sound.

Although this "dragon" looks rather strange, with its body smooth and scaleless, and its head without eyes, ears, nose, or mouth, only some tentacles hanging down, it still has the shape of a dragon.

"It's a poison!"

Tang San focused intently on the "dragon" flying around the secret room and explained to Zhou Qing, "Among the memories passed down to me by the Holy Soul Village's Soul Saint, there are records about Gu. It is about thousands of poisonous insects gathering in a jar, killing each other, and the final winner is Gu!"

"Gu comes in various forms and has different abilities, but there are two most famous types."

"One type is called Dragon Gu, which resembles a dragon and is mostly evolved from a relatively long centipede or other poisonous insects; the other type is called Qilin Gu, which resembles a gourd and is mostly evolved from Toad, geckos, etc."

"This must be the Dragon Gu!"

Upon hearing Tang San mention Gu, Zhou Qing suddenly realized that the fighting between so many bluish-gray worms earlier was just like the process of raising Gu.

only--

If Hu Fangyuan doesn't die, could he really have the fate of the Great Love Immortal Venerable and be able to ascend to the rank of Venerable through the Nine Revolutions?

"Then what is the use of this Gu?" Xiao Wu had never seen a Gu before, or even if she had, she didn't know it was a Gu. Now she only knew that the Spirit Devouring Worm had turned into this so-called "Dragon Gu"... but she was more concerned about the Gu's function.

"I don't know, and Gu is a double-edged sword. If it's not nurtured properly, it will turn against its master." Tang San recalled his past life—

The outer elder of the Tang Sect had also mentioned Gu. It is said that there were many people in the Bashu Region who were skilled in Gu manipulation. However, the Tang Sect was an outsider and focused on Hidden Weapon and poisons, not Gu. Therefore, he only knew that to refine Gu, one needed to drip a drop of heart's blood to feed it and make it recognize its master. To feed the Gu worms, one needed to place them in the heart and constantly flush them with blood, and then feed them with Internal Energy.

Upon hearing about the method of raising Gu, Zhou Qing looked at the Dragon Gu flying in mid-air without attacking them and asked, "Is it only necessary to use Soul Power, without the need to continuously feed it blood or anything like that?"

"... That's what the Soul Saint's memories say." Tang San himself wasn't quite sure, after all, the Tang Sect didn't have the secret technique of raising Gu.

When asked again, the answer was always the same three words: "I don't know."

However, Zhou Qing believed that if a Gu worm only needed to be fed with Soul Power, apart from the drop of heart's blood required to recognize its master, then the so-called Gu worm was definitely not just a worm with flesh and blood; at least its body had already shown a tendency to become energy.

No wonder the Gu worms that were refined could be placed inside the heart!

If the Gu worm is made of flesh and blood, how can it be placed inside the heart?

Should we dig it open?

Zhou Qing didn't really believe that anyone in Tang San's previous life would dare to actually conduct a heart-cutting experiment.

Of course, you can also cut your wrist to let the Gu worm enter your heart through your blood vessels, but then you would have to cut your blood vessels again to remove the Gu worm.

This is too much trouble.

Therefore, only when the refined Gu worms can be transformed into a form similar to energy, and can cooperate and operate with Soul Power, can they be controlled freely.

This Dragon Gu was created by chance, based on Hu Fangyuan's Martial Soul, the Spirit Devouring Worm, and thus inherently possesses the properties of Martial Soul.

Or rather, although it is a Gu poison, it is also Martial Soul.

According to Tang San, the Gu needs to be nurtured in the heart. This Dragon Gu has the properties of Martial Soul, and my Martial Soul happens to be the Blood Circulation System. If I want to refine it, I need to place it in my own heart, or I can store it in my Martial Soul...

Despite having these thoughts in mind, Zhou Qing did not take any action. He simply kept an eye on the Dragon Gu, wary of any possible moves it might make.

How can one allow a Gu worm to enter their Martial Soul?

He absolutely refuses!

Not to mention, this Gu was evolved from the Number One Spirit Devouring Worm that devoured the Number Two and Number Three.

Zhou Qing had witnessed the battle between the three Spirit Devouring Worm, and to describe it in four words: "All's fair in war!"

This Dragon Gu creature must possess extremely high intelligence!

If it were Intelligent Soul Ring like the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm that could communicate with people, Zhou Qing wouldn't mind. But even if this thing's appearance was much more graceful than the Spirit Devouring Worm, it wouldn't change its dangerous nature.

However!

The Dragon Gu hovered in mid-air for a while before transforming into a streak of gray-purple light that instantly entered Zhou Qing's chest.

"Not good!"

The Dragon Gu was so fast that even Tang San's Purple Demon Eye couldn't detect it before it burrowed into Dragon Gu Zhou Qing's chest and entered his heart.

Zhou Qing's expression changed, and he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, activating the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, his consciousness sinking into his Martial Soul—

Within the Blood Circulation System Martial Soul, the gray-purple energy transformed from the Dragon Gu lingered at the heart, attempting to penetrate it. However, the beating of the heart, the contraction and relaxation of the blood vessels, and the flow of blood emitted waves of invisible heat, repelling it and preventing it from getting close.

As Zhou Qing's Soul Power circulated within his body, the illusory scene of the three-dimensional Innate Internal Scripture Chart was also constructed around his Martial Soul soul.

The sea surges below, and the cauldron burns in its belly.

Five vital energies converge in the chest, and the great sun shines above the head.

The grayish-purple aura seemed to be frightened by this scene, and transformed back into Dragon Gu, trying to escape. However, it seemed to have hit an invisible membrane, which rippled slightly and shattered it, then bounced back into the blazing cauldron at the bottom.

The raging flames caused the Dragon Gu to thrash about, but no matter how hard it struggled, it could not break free, and streams of gray and purple energy emerged from it.

"No!"

In a daze, Zhou Qing seemed to hear the Dragon Gu let out a miserable the Scream. Then, a humanoid phantom emerged from the Dragon Gu, as if it were its soul. In the end, it was burned into Void by the raging fire in the cauldron, and its soul was scattered.

Zhou Qing felt a wave of fear wash over him. "There must be a part of Hu Fangyuan's consciousness or a fragment of his soul in that Dragon Gu. If it really Parasitism my Martial Soul, my thinking might be affected by it, and I might even become the vessel for his rebirth!"

Fortunately, the Innate Internal Scripture Chart is infinitely mysterious, and heretical forces and evil spirits have no way to invade it!

At this moment, the gray and purple hues on the Dragon Gu faded away. Although it could still move, it was dazed and confused, seemingly without intelligence. However, the raging fire no longer burned it.

Driven by the Innate Internal Scripture Chart, this Dragon Gu transformed into a beam of white light, passing through his Three Passes and Nine Apertures before finally settling on the heart of his Blood Circulation System Martial Soul.

At this moment, his own Martial Soul accepted the Dragon Gu, and took the initiative to separate a drop of his heart's blood, which entered the Dragon Gu's head and instantly dyed it red.

After the Dragon Gu's entire body turned crimson, it transformed into a streak of red light and entered the heart. It then traveled back and forth between the left ventricle, right atrium, and right ventricle and left atrium along the two major circulatory pathways of the Blood Circulation System: systemic circulation and pulmonary circulation.

In that instant, Zhou Qing felt as if his Martial Soul and Blood Circulation System had come alive, possessing extremely strong spirituality and becoming more closely integrated with himself.

The crimson Dragon Gu was driving the growth and evolution of his blood circulation, and simultaneously, a message was being transmitted to his mind—
