Long Xuan's Wild Idea

Long Ruoxue explained with a smile, "The Silvermoon Mantis is a very special species of insect; its quality varies depending on its comprehension."

"The difference in intelligence between people can be as vast as heaven and earth, and insects are no exception."

Long Ruoxue suddenly looked at Long Biao, her gaze full of meaning, as if she were speaking to him directly.

"Among the Silvermoon Mantis, there are varying levels of aptitude. The Silvermoon Mantis with higher aptitude will naturally grasp stronger sword techniques, and their learning speed will be much faster than those with lower aptitude."

"As time goes on, the gap between them will widen, gradually forming a difference as vast as heaven and earth, making them seem like two completely different species."

"Since the difference is so great, then it's natural to need to classify them by quality?"

"The Silvermoon Mantis with the worst comprehension is of low quality, while the Silvermoon Mantis with the best comprehension is of top quality."

"Don't be fooled by the large number of Silvermoon Mantis here. Low-grade Silvermoon Mantis make up more than 90%, while Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis account for far less than 10%, probably only about ten here."

"As for how to judge the aptitude of each Silvermoon Mantis, the only way is to teach them swordsmanship and see how quickly they learn."

"Therefore, every Silvermoon Mantis here studies very hard, sparring with its own kind day and night, practicing its swordsmanship with all its might, for fear of being classified as a low-grade creature."

"In that case, their future masters will only be poor and mediocre Gu cultivators, their future will be completely ruined, and they will have no chance to become powerful."

"They are all highly intelligent creatures, very aware of what they are about to face, and they all know what they should do to achieve a better life. Therefore, every Silvermoon Mantis strives to climb higher, training diligently day and night. The competition is fierce, and the entire colony is incredibly competitive."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan became even more interested in these adorable creatures. They were a group of insects with dreams and ideals. Every Silvermoon Mantis was ambitious, eager to become stronger, and trained very hard, showing great self-discipline.

Where can you find such a determined insect? He likes insects that can cultivate themselves on their own; they're so easy to manage.

"The Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis is on the second floor; there's no need to look at the ones on the first floor."

As she spoke, Long Ruoxue walked upstairs, followed by several people.

Just then, Long Ruoxue finally received a reply. She pulled a piece of paper from her Insect-Rearing Pouch, looked at the handwriting, and turned to Long Ziyan with a smile, "The Lineage has agreed, allowing you to choose a Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis, but only one."

"Please don't think it's too little. The process of refining the Blade Gu is very special. The Gu Recipe for the Blade Gu is blank. You write down what materials are needed in the Gu Recipe yourself."

"However, only one of each type of Spirit Insect is allowed, except for Supreme-grade Spirit Insect; otherwise, the Gu Recipe- refining process will fail due to the presence of multiple main ingredients."

"The strength of the final Blade Gu will vary depending on the number of materials you write down; in other words, the more materials you use, the stronger the Blade Gu will be."

"However, the more materials you have, the higher the failure rate of refining Gu will become. The number of materials Gu Recipe of the Blade Gu is directly proportional to the failure rate."

"It all depends on how the person choosing to refine the Blade Gu decides. If they prefer stability, they should submit fewer materials. If they enjoy adventure and want to refine a stronger Blade Gu, they should submit more materials. However, failure will ruin a Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis and result in the loss of a massive amount of materials. Be prepared for a huge amount of resources to go down the drain."

"Legend has it that our ancestors once successfully forged Blade Gu using ten million different materials. This level of Blade Gu possessed Armor-Piercing abilities that could affect all living beings in this world."

"However, the success rate of the Blade Gu, which requires tens of millions of materials, is simply too low. The success rate is almost zero, and it would require an ocean of materials to have any chance of success."

"Although this level of Blade Gu is very powerful, the resources it consumes are simply outrageous, making its cost-effectiveness extremely low. It's simply not worth the effort to refine this level of Blade Gu."

"As for the Blade Gu, which requires hundreds of millions of materials, no one in the entire history of our clan has ever successfully refined it, and there may not even be anyone who has attempted to refine it."

"No one knows how powerful that level of Blade Gu would be, nor does anyone know what terrifying changes would occur to its Armor-Piercing ability."

"I certainly don't have the audacity to forge millions of level-ten-million Blade Gu like my ancestors."

"The materials Gu Recipe my Blade Gu were only at level 5,000. I had to make a huge decision to use so many materials to refine the Blade Gu. Fortunately, Lady Luck was on my side, and I succeeded in the end."

"The fewer materials used in the Blade Gu, the lower the failure rate. Through generations of research in our Lineage, we have found that Blade Gu made with 500 materials can be successfully refined with a 100% success rate."

"So even if you only have one Silvermoon Mantis, as long as you're not greedy, you can still refine Blade Gu with a 100% success rate."

"Moreover, as long as the main ingredient is Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis, even with only five hundred materials, it will still be a supreme-grade Gu worm with terrifying combat power. There's absolutely no need to take the risk."

"Don't ever follow my example. Always prioritize stability. Isn't it better to have a guaranteed supreme-grade Gu worm? There's no need to gamble. Otherwise, if you lose, you'll have nowhere to turn to cry."

Upon hearing this, Long Ziyan remained unmoved, but Long Xuan's eyes shone brightly, his heart pounding with excitement.

The Blade Gu is actually a Gu Insect without Gu Recipe. The amount of materials can be written infinitely, and the strength is infinitely high. What an ingenious Gu Recipe!

This Gu Recipe is so interesting, and it suits him perfectly. This Gu Recipe is practically tailor-made for him.

"Just to ask, how many kinds of Spirit Insect are there in this world?"

Long Xuan's sudden, unprovoked question startled everyone present, causing them to turn around and look at him with strange expressions.

"What do you mean by that question? Don't tell me you're going to use every kind of Spirit Insect in the world to refine Gu! What on earth made you so crazy to do something like this? Is the world too big for you? How dare you be so arrogant!"

Long Ruoxue stared at him with wide eyes, completely startled by his words.

The learned Long Ziyan looked at him and said, "You can't possibly succeed. Different regions have their own unique insect species, and you don't have the time to travel to all of them."

"Moreover, the Earth Spiritual Power is scarce, and more than 90% of Spirit Insect have already become extinct in the long river of history."

"You can only see more kinds of insects if you go to the Spirit World or the Divine Realm."

"Even so, the number of insect species in this world is still astronomical. But you must understand that not every insect species qualifies to be called Spirit Insect. Insects from the mortal world are completely unsuitable for refining Gu. There are hundreds of millions of insect species in the Gu World, but only a few million can probably be called Spirit Insect."

"However, if you don't travel to different regions, in the Western Land, you can only refine one Blade Gu worth a few hundred thousand. The conditions don't allow you to do such crazy things."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan was somewhat disappointed. Indeed, the spiritual energy in this world was too thin, causing the extinction of countless Spirit Insect species. To realize this dream, he had no other way but to search for the legendary Spirit World.

Having reached the limit of hundreds of thousands of levels of Blade Gu, even the total value of hundreds of thousands of materials is still an astronomical figure.

Another bankrupt Gu Recipe. Long Xuan felt a headache coming on; wasn't this going to cost him his life? It seemed he would have to find a way to make a fortune again.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's choose our Silvermoon Mantis first. There are only a dozen or so top-quality Silvermoon Mantis, so there's not much room for selection. Who wants to choose first?" Long Ruoxue suddenly said.

By this time, the group had reached the depths of the second floor. Upon reaching the second floor, Long Xuan immediately noticed that there were far fewer Silvermoon Mantis here, but their quality was much higher than that on the first floor.

The second floor should house high-grade and Supreme-grade Silver Moon Mantis Silvermoon Mantis, with all the Silvermoon Mantis with the highest aptitude concentrated here.

These Silvermoon Mantis are also practicing their swordsmanship. Even though they have already reached the pinnacle of their abilities, they are not slowing down their pace of becoming stronger and are training exceptionally hard.

But one of the Silvermoon Mantis caught his attention. This Silvermoon Mantis seemed to be isolated by the group, standing there all alone. No one of its kind was willing to spar with it. It stood there looking very lonely and pitiful.

The reason Long Xuan noticed it at a glance was not because it was pitiful, but because it looked so bizarre. This Silvermoon Mantis was born with ten knives.

Good heavens, it was born with eight more swords than its kind. Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone ten. Which of its kind could possibly defeat it?

This Silvermoon Mantis is invincible.

Upon seeing this Silvermoon Mantis, Long Xuan immediately thought of the Ten-Blade Style from his previous life. This Silvermoon Mantis was perfect for developing the Ten-Blade Style.

Whether you're a one-sword style or a dual-sword style, can you possibly be more terrifying than Ten-Blade Style?

Long Xuan was a complete novice in the art of the sword. He naturally assumed that two fists could not defeat four hands, and that more hands could defeat fewer hands.

Therefore, his understanding is that a multi-sword style is stronger than a single-sword style, and the more swords one has, the stronger one is.

A normal person only has two hands, and at most can only use two swords, but his mantis sword is Ten-Blade Style. Wouldn't that make him invincible in the human world?

He immediately took a liking to the praying mantis and decided to choose it.

The concept of the Ten-Blade Style probably doesn't exist in this world, so naturally there's no Ten-Blade Style. No problem, since there's no Ten -Ten-Blade Style Ten-Blade Style, he can just create his own.

He had already figured out the outline in an instant.
