Black Armor Gu Advances
Next up is Lei Tianyu's storage ring.
He also had a considerable amount of Spirit Stone in his storage ring, a full 38,000, which made Song Wen sigh. As expected of the eldest son of a great Lineage, his wealth was indeed substantial.
In Lei Tianyu's storage ring, Song Wen found a short spear, two feet long, a low-grade Spirit Artifact, which was just right for Song Wen's use.
He swung the short spear a few times, finding it quite handy, but it belonged to Lei Tianyu, and the Lei Clan was searching everywhere for him, the murderer. It was best not to show it to anyone easily.
Next up is Gan Yue's storage ring. Gan Yue's storage ring contains only a little over three thousand Spirit Stone, but it does contain a Foundation Establishment.
Song Wen found a Jade Slip titled "Spirit Beast Compendium" in his storage ring.
The book "Spirit Beast Compendium" records the methods for taming hundreds of first- and second-tier spirit beasts and insects, and also records dozens of spirit herbs and pills used to cultivate spirit beasts.
According to the "Spirit Beast Compendium", there is a spirit medicine called Silverhorn Grass that can help a first-order spirit beast break through to the second order. It is somewhat similar to the Foundation Establishment taken by cultivators. However, at least ten Silverhorn Grass are needed to make a first-order perfect spirit beast break through.
Upon seeing the description of Silverhorn Grass, Song Wen rummaged through his storage ring for a while before finally finding six plants of Silverhorn Grass in a blue wooden box.
Among the pills in the storage ring, there is a bottle of pills called 'Beast Brocade Pill', containing twelve pills in total. These pills are for second-tier spirit beasts and help to enhance their bloodline and cultivation.
After putting down Gan Yue's storage ring, Song Wen took out Kou Chang's Storage Bag.
A moment later, Song Wen's face lit up with joy.
He found two blue wooden boxes in his Storage Bag, and upon opening them, he found a total of ten Silverhorn Grass.
Including the previous six, Song Wen obtained a total of sixteen Silverhorn Grass, which he could try to cultivate into a Black Armor Gu to see if he could evolve it into Sacred Beetle Gu.
After putting away the Silverhorn Grass, Song Wen continued to check the Storage Bag.
Kou Chang's Storage Bag contained far more Spirit Stone stones and treasures than Gan Yue's storage ring.
Ten thousand Spirit Stones, four bottles of Beast Brocade Pill, for a total of forty-eight pills.
There were countless other miscellaneous spiritual herbs and pills, which Song Wen estimated to be worth at least 50,000 Spirit Stone.
Song Wen put all the Spirit Stone into a special storage ring for storing Spirit Stone.
When he left the Corpse Demon Sect, he had nearly 150,000 Spirit Stone. He obtained a large number of Spirit Stone from Wu Ren, Li Chenggu, Lei Hong and others, and now he has nearly 400,000 Spirit Stone in his possession.
These Spirit Stone may sound like a lot, but to Golden Core cultivator, they are worth nothing more than a Law Treasure.
Song Wen didn't plan to touch the other belongings of the four for the time being, so he stored them away in a storage ring.
The Lei Clan and the Beast Taming Sect will definitely investigate the cause of the four people's deaths, so we can't take action on these matters for the time being.
Song Wen summoned his most powerful Black Armor Gu and fed it a Silverhorn Grass.
He then summoned another Qi Refining Ninth Layer Black Armor Gu and fed it a Beast Brocade Pill.
He stood to the side, observing the two Black Armor Gu feeding.
The Black Armor Gu was eating the Silverhorn Grass kept gnawing at it, and the leaves of the Silverhorn Grass were visibly decreasing.
The Black Armor Gu was consuming the pill stopped eating after taking in a quarter of it, as if it couldn't withstand the medicinal effects of the entire pill.
The remaining half of the Beast Brocade Pill was rapidly dissipating its spiritual power. Left with no other choice, Song Wen had to summon all the other Black Armor Gu to devour the remaining pills.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.
The four Black Armor Gu had consumed the elixir burrowed into Song Wen's body to digest its medicinal properties.
The Black Armor Gu ate the Silverhorn Grass had finished eating all the foot-tall spiritual grass and looked completely stuffed, lying motionless in the Gu Cauldron.
Ignoring the five Gu Worm, Song Wen began cultivating Thunder Method.
He made a Method Formula seal with his Palm Thunder, and in a moment, Lightning Sphere the size of a human head appeared in Song Wen's hand.
Sensing the domineering and violent energy within the Lightning Sphere, Song Wen's face lit up with joy. This was the true power that lightning should possess, many times stronger than the chopstick-sized lightning bolt he had seen before.
This single Palm Thunder is enough to severely injure a ghost in the Late Qi Refinement.
Song Wen took out the Thunder Scripture of the Jade Slip, which contained only two secret techniques of heavenly thunder. After examining it carefully, Song Wen discovered that neither of the two heavenly thunder techniques could be cultivated.
Cultivating the North Pole Divine Thunder requires the Late Qi Refinement Refining, while the Great Cavern Divine Thunder requires the Foundation Establishment Realm stage. However, his <Longevity Art> is only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and he cannot activate thunder Cultivation Method using Thunder Method.
Song Wen then examined the other Thunder Method in the Thunder Scripture and found that only one Thunder Shield Technique, was available for cultivation.
The Thunder Shield Technique can conjure a shield made of lightning for defense.
In just half a day, Song Wen successfully mastered the Thunder Shield Technique.
By this time, it was already broad daylight outside. Song Wen walked out of the secret room and headed towards the market.
After purchasing some spirit medicine for refining Blood Qi Pill, and with his face restored to Zhang Cheng's appearance, Song Wen returned to his own Small Courtyard.
As he pushed open the courtyard gate, he realized that Ji Ruxue had returned sometime earlier and was in the opposite courtyard, tirelessly wielding her long sword again and again.
No one knows where she went that night.
Back in his room, Song Wen began refining Blood Qi Pill.
Time flies by in the peaceful practice; half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past two weeks, Song Wen has been feeding the Black Armor Gu with Silverhorn Grass and Beast Brocade Pill.
The Black Armor Gu that ate the Silverhorn Grass had already consumed a full twelve stalks of Silverhorn Grass.
Today, after consuming the thirteenth Silverhorn Grass, the Black Armor Gu suddenly slowed down, and its spiritual energy surged rapidly.
Song Wen's eyes lit up; finally, there was a change.
He just didn't know if it would advance directly to the second-tier Gu Worm 'Sacred Beetle Gu' as he hoped!
A moment later, the changes in the Black Armor Gu provided Song Wen with the answer.
Suddenly, the Black Armor Gu began to absorb the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. In an instant, the Spiritual Qi in the small, secret room was completely devoured by the Black Armor Gu.
Several Spirit Stone immediately appeared in Song Wen's hand. With a forceful squeeze, the Spirit Stone cracked open, and pure Spiritual Qi instantly permeated the secret chamber.
However, a few Spirit Stone are far from enough for the Black Armor Gu to absorb.
In order not to affect the advancement of the Black Armor Gu, Song Wen had no choice but to keep crushing Spirit Stone.
Fifty!
One hundred!
Two hundred!
After consuming two thousand Spirit Stone, the Black Armor Gu finally stopped absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
The tail of the Black Armor Gu began to spit out silk threads, which slowly wrapped around it, forming a small cocoon.
As for the other four Black Armor Gu, their strength also increased rapidly after consuming ten 'Beast Brocade Pill'.
Originally, there were three Black Armor Gu at the eighth level of Qi Refinement, but they have now advanced to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer. Another Black Armor Gu that was originally at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer has reached the peak of the Qi Refining Stage.
Song Wen retrieved the cocooned Black Armor Gu, along with the other four Black Armor Gu, into his body, then left the secret room and returned to his own courtyard under the cover of night.
