Feng Jun and the other two came to a small grove. Gong Yannan took out a transparent box containing a ten-centimeter-long insect resembling a praying mantis—it even had wings.
Feng Jun took out his phone and swiped through it a few times before looking up at the other man. "Confirmed, it's an Azure Silk Spirit-Grass Gu. Can I put it into a Spirit Beast Bag?"
"Use my Spirit Beast Talisman." Gong Yannan handed over another Spirit Beast Talisman. "That way, I can sense its location."
Feng Jun traded him two thousand Spirit Stones and used the Spirit Beast Talisman to store the gu insect. Then he casually added, "If you feel your Birth Gu has weakened, that means it's about to evolve."
"Huh?" Gong Yannan shot Feng Jun a surprised, somewhat hostile look. He spoke darkly, "Of course I know it's about to evolve. But Fellow Cultivator Feng... how did you sense that?"
Though Gu Cultivators were forbidden from harming others, competition among them was exceptionally brutal. His Birth Gu was about to evolve, and he absolutely could not casually tell others. Otherwise, during the evolution process, both he and his Birth Gu might become nourishment for another Gu Cultivator.
"I divined it," Feng Jun answered lightly. "Don't worry, I generally don't divine things at random. I just hope you can help me find those gu insects quickly... I have no interest in the Azure Silk Spirit-Grass Gu at all."
His meaning was clear: I've accepted your collateral. If you try anything funny, I have other ways of dealing with you.
Gong Yannan looked at him deeply. "Can you tell me where I can find you?"
Feng Jun had already turned to leave. "Liba Beach, Lantern Town, Mingsha Market—the owner of Liba Beach. I'll wait for you for one month."
