As the blood beads wriggled.
Several more Gu insects appeared before Fang Shu. These Gu insects were clearly different from those the blood beads had transformed into just now—they were from the formula he had only recently mastered.
Seeing this, Fang Shu's heart eased slightly. He thought to himself:
Sure enough, the Gu insects my flesh and blood can transform into are related to the Gu formulas I have mastered. Any Gu insect I have mastered can be directly refined and sacrificed from flesh and blood.
But when he glanced at the several blood beads before him that had failed to transform, he realized that the success rate of refining Gu insects from flesh and blood was tied to his proficiency.
This was only the simplest Essence-Refining Gu Formula. If he switched to a new Foundation Establishment Gu formula, the chances of successful transformation would be even lower.
Still, Fang Shu did not care too much about the issue. So long as he could transform them, that was enough. At worst, he could try a few more times. It was far more convenient than painstakingly refining Gu himself.
After all, Gu insects generally had to be refined in advance before they could be used. They were not like spells, methods one could cast at a pinch.
With a whoosh, Fang Shu flicked his finger, and those blood beads that had failed in refinement flew back onto his body, slowly seeping into him.
Fang Shu's physique was now extraordinary, combining much of the marvels of the Blood Mother Scripture and the Dragon-Whale Body-Nurturing Method. The flesh and blood he expelled could return to his body, bringing back a certain degree of replenishment to his vital blood.
According to the Blood Mother Scripture, he could also make use of this trait to
