Gu Completed

Long Xuan ignored Long Lie and returned to the mountaintop. He sat in a newly built pavilion, skillfully took out paper and pen, and began working on the Liver Gu Formula again.

What he needed to study now was naturally the silkworm gu he had already planned to develop. If the silkworm silk produced by this gu was in the form of energy, it could be made into Soul Armor, capable of defending against physical attacks, soul attacks, mental attacks, and sonic attacks...

In short, it can protect against everything, and it integrates into the body surface for comprehensive protection.

The Soul Armor he conceived was so outrageously exaggerated, it was like a wild fantasy, something that could only be realized in a dream. It was as if he could write whatever he wanted with just a pen.

But anything is possible. How can you know that such a Soul Armor doesn't exist in this world if you don't try it yourself?

Long Xuan created his own topic, first writing his description of the Soul Armor on the Gu Recipe, fixing the Gu Insect's abilities, and then writing down the first material of the Gu Recipe — the Myriad-Year Ice Silkworm.

As he saw the progress appear on the Gu Recipe, his smile grew wider and wider. Sure enough, any ability can exist in this world. There's nothing that doesn't exist in this world, only things you can't imagine. It all depends on how big your imagination is.

This was the first Gu Insect he refined after advancing to the Marrow Cleansing Stage, and he was very enthusiastic and full of energy.

He wanted to create the Soul Armor he had imagined as quickly as possible. With the Water Bear Gu and the Soul Armor providing double defense, he would truly be invincible.

A year has passed in the blink of an eye. At this point, Gu Recipe's progress has been pushed to 50%, completing half of the project. This is how time-consuming it is to create a project on a given topic; it requires a lot of time to exhaustively explore all possibilities.

Even though he now possesses a wealth of knowledge about Gu magic and is no longer the Little White he was when he first transmigrated, he still cannot shorten the time by much.

He couldn't help but stand up and stretch his aching muscles, preparing to rest for a bit before continuing his work.

Suddenly realizing that Long Lie was still in the outer area, he paused for a moment, then immediately headed in that direction.

"Why haven't you left yet? Planning to spend the New Year with me?"

Upon seeing Long Lie, Long Xuan immediately asked.

Long Lie turned to look at him, then turned his gaze back to the wine vat.

"How would I know when it will come out? What if it transforms into a Gu and escapes while I'm not around? I have to stay and watch over it. Everyone who refines Gu has to stay and watch over it. Aren't you one of them?"

Long Lie turned to look at him again and asked in surprise.

"How could that be? I have to stay by your side the whole time; I wouldn't dare run around."

Long Xuan naturally denied it outright and quickly shook his head.

His eyes could see the progress and accurately calculate the day the Gu would be completed, so there was really no need for him to waste time guarding the area, and he dared not go anywhere.

"What I mean is, why don't you take the vat home and guard it? I don't provide food here," Long Xuan asked.

Long Lie shook his head and said, "There's no need. What if I don't have enough wine when I get back? I'll have to go through all that trouble again, and then I'll accidentally fall into one of your evil formations."

"It's better to stay here. If we run out of alcohol, we can just ask you for some, saving us the trouble of running back and forth."

"My decision was right. I really didn't have enough wine. I only have one last bottle left, and I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan's lips twitched involuntarily. He was about to run out of wine again. Just how dark was his face?

I gave him twenty sets of materials at once, a full twenty chances to refine the Gu, yet he failed every time. His tried-and-true Friend-Sacrificing Method doesn't seem to work anymore.

Seeing that Long Lie had poured the last portion of Spirit Wine into the wine vat, Long Xuan couldn't help but say, "Your 'Friend-Sacrificing Method isn't working either. Does it stop working if you sacrifice too many friends? Why don't you sacrifice one to yourself and see?"

"I used up all my good luck last time I won seven High-Grade Unusual Gu Insect, so now it's no use sacrificing anyone."

Long Lie slowly closed the lid of the jar, took a few steps back, and casually said, "God help me, Long Lie, I'm willing to trade my lifelong celibacy for a chance to become a Gu."

"So ruthless?" Long Xuan was startled by his wish and subconsciously used his cheat ability to look into the jar. After seeing that progress had been made in the jar, the corner of his mouth twitched twice.

Could it be such a coincidence? Could fate really have traded his lifetime of celibacy for a chance to become a Gu (a type of poison/evil spirit)? Did his wish come true?

Long Xuan glanced at him with pity, shook his head helplessly, and finally left. Perhaps Long Lie should just pray for his own good fortune?

After relaxing for a moment, he returned to the pavilion and continued working on the Gu Recipe.

There were no secrets in the outer area, and he wasn't worried about Long Lie wandering around. He just refused to leave, so let him go.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and the number displayed on the Gu Recipe was now 70%, meaning the completion of the Gu Recipe was within reach.

Long Xuan nodded in satisfaction, put down his pen, and then, as if he had thought of something, suddenly ran towards where Long Lie was.

He could see the progress of the Gu refining process. Long Lie didn't know when the Gu would be formed, but he knew that, according to his calculations, the Wine Gu would be formed today.

He was also curious about what abilities Wine Gu made from a single type of spicy wine would unlock, so he decided to go and see for himself immediately.

As soon as he arrived, he heard Long Lie's maniacal laughter. It seemed that he was a step too late after all; the Wine Gu had already been made before he arrived.

However, it wasn't too late. Long Lie's loud laughter suggested that he had only recently become a Gu.

"Finally become a Gu? I told you so, didn't I? Sacrificing friends is useless; you have to sacrifice yourself. See, after listening to my advice, you immediately became a Gu, didn't you?"

Long Xuan walked to his side and said jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Long Lie's smile froze on his face. He finally realized that he had previously vowed to remain single for life in exchange for becoming a Gu.

He just said it casually, but unexpectedly, everything that had failed before suddenly succeeded the moment he said it. Isn't this just messing with him?

He looked fearfully towards the sky, wondering if it really had come true. He was just joking.

Long Xuan patted his shoulder sympathetically and laughed, "Alright! Let's take a look at the Gu Insect's abilities first?"

"You said before that you used Supreme-grade Wine Worm to refine the Gu, so the resulting supreme-grade Gu worm supreme-grade Gu worm worm. I wonder how heaven-defying its abilities will be."

Long Xuan looked at the little red snake coiled on his arm, a look of anticipation on his face.

This snake was red, entirely red, and had a fierce and menacing appearance. You could tell at a glance that it had a very bad temper and would ignite at the slightest provocation. It wasn't cute at all, and it was far inferior to his Little White.

Speaking of the abilities of this supreme-grade Gu worm, Long Lie smiled again, no longer dwelling on what had just happened. He quickly ran away, found an open space, and began to experiment with the abilities of the Supreme-Grade Wine Gu.

Long Xuan watched with great interest and followed.

Soon, under Long Lie's control, a sea of fire spewed out from the small snake's mouth.

This was no ordinary sea of fire; Long Xuan discovered that this little red snake could breathe fire and wine at the same time.

It is known that fire ignites when it meets alcohol and will burn for a long time; fire becomes more powerful when it meets alcohol. The combination of fire and alcohol can indeed cause considerable damage.

The combination of fire and alcohol created an attack with a wide range, and soon the entire open space was engulfed in flames. The intense heat scorched the two of them, and the raging fire burned fiercely in front of them for a long time.

At this moment, Long Lie was completely ecstatic, laughing wildly and dancing excitedly in front of the sea of fire, as if he had taken the wrong medicine.

Only Long Xuan frowned slightly, revealing a look of disappointment.

Is this all the power a supreme-grade Gu worm can have?

Isn't this just his Blazing Flame Palm? It's just been mixed with a little alcohol.

Such an ability is quite ordinary, far inferior to Little White's abilities, and they don't even seem to be of the same level as the Gu Insect.

"Hey! What's with that look? Do you really think fire-breathing ability is weak?"

"You're so ignorant! This isn't some common fireball spell; it's a forbidden technique!"

"You didn't even look at how wide its attack range was just now; that's an extremely rare area-of-effect clearing move."

"If I had this ability during the Beast Tide back then, I could have wiped out entire hordes of Beast Tide. What would I be afraid of then?"

"Even if a horde of several thousand beasts came, I could wipe them all out in one move. That's an incredibly terrifying ability. Yet you look down on it."

"You know, most people don't have any special moves. With this one, I'll never have to fear any overwhelming numbers again. I'm extremely satisfied with this ability!"

"This Gu Insect can definitely become my main force. It's the strongest Gu Insect in terms of combat power among all my Gu Insect. With this Gu Insect, my combat power will increase several times over, enough to make me roam freely in the Long Family."

"From now on, I'm someone who possesses supreme-grade Gu worm, hahaha..."

Long Lie couldn't help but kiss the Wine Gu twice, his eyes brimming with excitement, clearly very satisfied with this ability.

Seeing his excited expression, Long Xuan felt somewhat helpless.

Well, to each their own. What seems like a weak ability to oneself might be seen as a divine skill by others.

Is it a matter of perspective, or is it that his Gu Insect are simply too powerful to be judged by ordinary standards?

There might be a world of difference between even the best supreme-grade Gu worm supreme-grade Gu worm; their combat power is completely different from supreme-grade Gu worm another.

"This wine is my own creation; it has never appeared in this world before. The Gu (poisonous insects) made from this wine must also be a new variety, appearing for the first time in this world."

"Since it's a new Gu species, it naturally needs a name. Should you name it, or should I?" Long Xuan asked again.

Long Lie glanced at him and said, "Of course I'll name the Gu Insect I refine. How could I let you get away with it for nothing?"

"My name is Long Lie, so let's call him Blaze Gu."

"In this way, once this Blaze Gu has established a terrifying reputation in the Gu World, when someone mentions the name of the Blaze Gu, they will think of me, Long Lie. I will then be remembered in history, hahaha..."

Long Lie burst into another fit of maniacal laughter.

Long Xuan looked at the Blaze Gu again. The Blaze Gu was made from the strongest liquor in the world, and it had a very fierce temper. It could even breathe fire.

Long Lie named it Blaze Gu after himself, a name that was surprisingly vivid and quite a coincidence.
