The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus was an invention of Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable. It was a portable prival spring, and once placed within one's aperture, it would generate prival stones which could either be sold or used by the Gu Master in question for either combat or cultivation.
Its value could not be understated to either a mortal or immortal Gu Master. To a mortal, it would allow them to essentially never run out of prival essence during combat and also to generate prival stones which could be exchanged as a dium of currency. To a demonic cultivator it had all kinds of benefits.
If advanced to an Immortal Gu, it would beco even more valuable as it would produce not prival stones, but Immortal Essence instead! Immortal Essence Stones were far more valuable than prival stones - not even a million prival stones could compare to a single Immortal Essence Stone. There was a reason that it was also considered one of the Top Ten Immortal Gu, alongside the Spring Autumn Cicada.
The downside to refining it, of course, was that one needed a spirit spring in order to do so.
The Flower Wine Monk had managed to find the recipe for the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. However, in order to refine it, he needed a prival spring. Being a demonic Gu Master, one who wandered the world on his loneso and lacked resources, he did not have the access needed to refine this gu.
Co to think of it, even if he had been a righteous path Gu Master, there was no way that he could be allowed to use a clan's own prival spring in order to refine a gu worm for himself like this. To a clan, a prival spring was far more valuable than a single Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.
The Flower Wine Monk had evidently chosen Gu Yue Village as a target for this. He had been betrayed by the fourth generation clan head, but had managed to escape and then slowly made his way to this location to try and refine it.
However, while going towards the spirit spring, he had likely run into first gen Gu Yue. After running into first gen Gu Yue, he had been killed in that encounter, not from the encounter with the fourth generation clan head, as everyone had assud.
He had then left his inheritance here to see if anyone could get revenge for him on his behalf.
After all, if soone refined the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, it would an the consumption of the clan's prival spring, and the destruction of the clan.
Fang Yuan extended his hand towards the crystal wall, finding that he could move through it as if it were made of air. The crystal wall existed as a ans to visualize the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, as it was said to be epheral and oscillated between the astral and physical worlds until refined. It was only through this crystal wall that one could see it.
Fang Yuan did not touch the water itself - he could not pollute his own clan's prival spring, after all. He instead tossed a prival stone through the barrier, with the gu worm greedily taking it in.
Fang Yuan did not know the recipe for this gu worm, but he had heard rumors on how it could be refined.
It was said that it needed to be kept in a fresh prival spring for nine days and nine nights, and when it blood with nine leaves, only then it could be moved else all of one's efforts were for naught.
Fang Yuan saw that it had eight and a quarter leaves on it - it had been sitting here for centuries, and had blood fully so ti ago. However, the prival spring slowly lost its vitality over ti, and the lotus began nurturing the spring instead.
If anything things must've gotten worse recently after Bai Ning Bing's detonation had damaged the prival spring, aning that this process of reverse nourishnt was accelerated.
Fang Yuan looked at the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus for so ti, weighing his options.
If it had been him from before, he would have undoubtedly wanted to refine this gu.
However, it was only Rank 3 currently, so it offered limited help to him right now. Now that he was at Rank 4 Peak Stage, its prival essence regenerating ability was but a drop in a massive lake.
Disregarding that, the main problem was that he needed a prival spring in order to refine it.
The prival spring in question had to be a healthy and fresh one, not one which was dying or had been damaged. Bai Ning Bing's detonation had caused damage to all three prival springs on Qing Mao mountain, used by each of the three clans. This had beco evident over ti as the harvest of prival stones had decreased sowhat.
The clansn naturally hoped that the prival springs would recover with ti, and as far as Fang Yuan knew, the possibility of this was quite high. However, that ant that they were not the ideal candidates to be used for refining this gu.
Fang Yuan knew several locations of prival springs which would be discovered in the future, one of them being rather close by, near an inheritance he also intended to collect.
However, he could not just leave the clan like this.
There was also the matter of attempting to advance it any further. You needed multiple spirit springs to do so. To get it to Rank 4 where it would be useful to him, he would need seven prival springs. To get it to Rank 5, a realm where he was at the cusp of, he would need eleven.
'I can't refine this right now,' Fang Yuan concluded.
However, when he announced the location of this place to the village, he would need to first think of a way to hide this place from the rest of the village. Either that or translocate this gu worm without damaging it.
Such was not impossible, but he had not brought the required gu worms needed for that kind of endeavor.
He got on the Hundred Li Earthwolf Spider and burrowed further.
Much as he had expected, the tunnel rged into a location that was near the clan's underground cavern before ultimately opening up in the sa area where he had found the Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider.
This opened up into the Blood River Graveyard eventually.
The mystery had been solved, and all of Fang Yuan's questions had been answered.
He had made significant gains, it could be said, though there had been nothing which would improve his own strength by a large asure.
Despite being a Rank 5 inheritance, most of the Flower Wine Monk's Rank 5 gu worms had been killed or died out after so long. As such, to the current Gu Yue Fang Yuan, there was little of value that he could use for himself.
He spent so ti investigating the Blood River Graveyard further, wondering if there were any clues that would now show up that he had uncovered the full extent of the Flower Wine Monk's true inheritance. If he could uncover the secret behind the Ancient Moon Desolate Yin Physique, it would make all his gains from earlier seen inconsequential. The entire trip might've actually been worth it to him in that case.
Nothing else seed to have changed, however, and he could only make his way back to the underground cavern, whereupon he placed several of the gu worms that he had found in the clan's storage before returning those he had borrowed.
He estimated that he would need about sixty thousand prival stones in order to nurture the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus completely. In lean tis like this, even soone like Fang Yuan would have difficulty ponying up that kind of amount. Before that, he needed to find a suitable prival spring to use in order to refine it.
Once he successfully moved it, though, he would be able to announce his discovery to the rest of he clan.
