You Chan was a water path Gu Immortal to begin with, she used the undercurrent to travel, it was faster than normal Gu Immortals flying.
She went through many undercurrents, after so days, You Chan arrived in Nan Gong clan's sea territory.
Nan Gong clan was a righteous path super force of Eastern Sea, after You Chan ca to their territorial border, she stopped and landed on a naless island.
She was here in Nan Gong clan to seek help, she had already used information path thods to inform him before coming.
As expected, You Chan did not wait long, a Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal was waiting for her.
"Fairy You Chan, Master Hua sent here to welco you, he is already waiting at Hua Qiao Pavilion." The Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal was very respectful, he did not display the prideful nature of a super force mber.
On one hand, he only had rank six cultivation level, while You Chan was rank seven. On another hand, You Chan was a lone cultivator but had many connections, she was also one of the six publicly recognized great fairies in Eastern Sea, her reputation was well known, the Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal had to give her ample respect.
"Thank you." You Chan smiled lightly, she instantly made the Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal's heart beat faster.
"Fairy, follow ." The Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal regained his cool and led the way.
You Chan entered the sea along with him into the undercurrent, after several transitions, You Chan saw an Immortal Gu House in the sea.
This Immortal Gu House was specially constructed, there was a pavilion in the center, there were stone tables and chairs in it, a Gu Immortal was brewing tea.
You Chan followed the Nan Gong clan Gu Immortal to enter the pavilion.
The man inside smiled as he said: "Fairy You Chan, you ca from afar, sorry that I could not welco you."
You Chan smiled: "Hua An, you are one of the three wisdom path experts in Eastern Sea, what can I do if you act so arrogantly?"
You Chan and Hua An were very good friends, they were just playing with each other.
The truth was, Hua An was originally a Hua clan Gu Immortal, but due to certain reasons, he left Hua clan. Hua clan was a righteous path super force, while escaping, Hua An obtained You Chan's help, the two beca good friends.
After that, Nan Gong clan took in Hua An and he cultivated until he beca reputed in Eastern Sea for wisdom path.
There was a poem about it: Jia Dan sits in twin polar, Hua An hides in Nan Gong, there is also Dragon Head Tortoise, living inside adversity sea.
The second verse was talking about him, Hua An.
Even though Hua An was in Nan Gong clan, he was threatened by Hua clan all along, he had faced their assassination attempts multiple tis. Thus, he usually stayed inside Nan Gong clan's headquarters and rarely went out. Now that he took the risk to et You Chan, it displayed his sincerity.
You Chan knew about Hua An's predicants, she was satisfied that he t with her, she even felt a little joyful.
Hua An laughed before pointing: "Fairy, take a seat."
You Chan did not stand on ceremony, she sat down and drank tea, before sighing: "The tea is good, but my heart is full of worries, I cannot appreciate it fully."
Hua An nodded: "Tell in detail, fairy, I will do my best to plan for you and resolve your worries!"
You Chan was drinking tea, while Fang Yuan drank wine.
He was not drinking ordinary wine, this was engagent wine.
And this engagent wine was not anyone else's but his own!
"Congratulations Lord Fang Yuan and Fairy Xue Er, it is truly wonderful that both of you lovers could get together. Hahaha!" Bing Zhuo laughed loudly as he spoke and toasted.
Fang Yuan smiled and raised his cup in response, he looked around the place.
This hall had two or three banquet tables, they were all filled with Gu Immortals.
Most of them were variant human Gu Immortals, there were snown, hairy n, inkn, and rockn. Other than that, there was the Shadow Sect mbers led by Fang Yuan. Bai Ning Bing was not among them.
Fang Yuan had rank eight battle strength, this was his engagent ceremony, he had an important status in the Northern Plains variant human alliance, almost all their Gu Immortals joined in.
The snowman Gu Immortals cheered, while the rockman Gu Immortals had stiff expressions.
This engagent ceremony was a good thing for the snowman tribe, but for the rockn, seeing their neighbor that had been suppressed gaining a rank eight battle strength was simply a huge nightmare!
"Elder Bing Yuan, you really did sothing amazing. I am truly impressed, I am very, very impressed." At the banquet, the rockman first supre elder Shi Zong said in a grim tone towards Bing Yuan.
Bing Yuan was the grandmother of Xue Er, she was the one who initiated and planned the marriage with Fang Yuan, they had finally seen so results now.
"This is the blessing of my granddaughter, sigh, to speak the truth, our tribe is the unworthy party." Bing Yuan pretended not to notice Shi Zong's mocking tone and responded while looking at the main table.
Over there, Fang Yuan was sitting at the main seat, Xue Er was close beside him, having an uneasy expression.
Bing Yuan sighed, she seed to be having a glamorous ti, but she was internally worried.
This was not the wedding that she wanted, it was rely an engagent ceremony. Bing Yuan could fully feel Fang Yuan's shrewdness, just this engagent ceremony alone made the snown pay a hefty price.
This was her negotiation with Fang Yuan, after many difficult negotiations, they finally obtained this result.
Both sides gave in a little, Fang Yuan obtained a new batch of resources, the snown could finally make use of Fang Yuan's authority.
"But to get this Fang Yuan to beco one of us, such a person... did I do the right thing?" Bing Yuan thought about her discussion with Fang Yuan as she started doubting this entire thing.
But on the surface, Bing Yuan did not show any emotions, she smiled and interacted in the banquet, it was a great atmosphere.
Eastern Sea.
Hua An had a look of sha as he said to You Chan: "Fairy, I have disappointed you, I could not deduce this person's background."
"Even you, Master Hua, could not?" You Chan felt very surprised.
Hua An had a solemn expression: "Firstly, just simply having the dragonfish clues make it hard to deduce. Secondly, this person has a killer move to conceal themselves that resists wisdom path deductions."
You Chan heard this and felt even more alerted. The other party had wisdom path thods to defend against deductions, but she did not.
The enemy had it but she did not, they either ca prepared or had a force behind them. No matter which one, it showed that the enemy was very powerful.
"Don't tell the other party's wisdom path attainnt is even greater than yours? You are one of the three greatest wisdom path experts in Eastern Sea, you could not deduce it?" You Chan was unresigned.
"Fairy, you are mistaken, wisdom path is different from water path. In this scene, it is like a river, the enemy has set up a dam at the narrowest part. No matter how wide the river is, after this dam, the water would beco shallow and slow. We wisdom path Gu Immortals can create huge waves in deep rivers but after this crucial dam, we cannot use any of our abilities, the effort is not worth the results." Hua An explained patiently, thinking that You Chan was a water path cultivator, he used water as an analogy.
"Not just , any other wisdom path Gu Immortal will not succeed in the deduction unless they break this layer of defense. Even though this defense is only at rank six level."
You Chan was distressed. She did not know much about wisdom path, in fact, most Gu Immortals did not know about wisdom path details.
On one hand, wisdom path Gu Immortals had always been rare, on the other hand, wisdom path Gu Immortals who knew about wisdom path profundities would not want to tell the world about their specific details and inheritances.
You Chan originally thought that with Hua An's help, she would be able to find Fang Yuan's information, but to think that she failed here.
But the more this was the case, the more You Chan did not want to give up.
Hua An understood her personality.
You Chan was not only beautiful, she also had the tenacity of water, she could reach her status and gain such accomplishnts due to her hard work.
Thus, Hua An suggested: "We can probe even further, as long as we have more information and clues, I will have a greater chance of getting past his defenses. Even if one clue is minor, if we have a lot of them, we will eventually find our way to success."
You Chan nodded: "Wait a mont."
She imdiately sent her consciousness into treasure yellow heaven as she looked for Fang Yuan's will.
Her earlier probes did not succeed, but now she still wanted to try.
"You Chan, stop trying to test . I am interested in the dragonfish business, or rather, I definitely want to be involved in this business." Fang Yuan's will told You Chan imdiately.
You Chan was shocked!
Her expression changed, her consciousness returned to her body and she inford Hua An.
Hua An's expression changed too: "This... I'm afraid he has a huge background!"
"I am the number one person in the dragonfish business, how can soone competing with have no background?" You Chan rolled her eyes at Hua An.
Hua An shook his head, he had a solemn expression: "I am talking about his wisdom path attainnt. My earlier deduction was noticed by him and he did a reverse deduction on us, that's how he found out your identity. I was already very careful, but he could actually deduce your identity with such limited information, his wisdom path attainnt is definitely not lower than mine. In fact... it could be higher!"
"Is that so?!" You Chan was shocked yet again.
She did not expect that after finding Hua An for help, not only did he fail to find out their background, she even got exposed in advance!
-x-X-x-
The banquet was extrely lively, this engagent ceremony had an extrely heavy political impact.
Not only for the variant human alliance, but also for Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan did not reject any of the toasts from the variant human Gu Immortals, with his interpersonal skills, he greatly improved his relationship with all the variant human Gu Immortals.
Fang Yuan's original status was quite awkward.
He was a pure bred human, inside the variant human alliance, he was a loner by nature. The variant humans were suspicious towards Fang Yuan from the start.
But this ti, Fang Yuan had an engagent with Xue Er, the feeling was different now. He had squeezed his way into the variant human Gu Immortal circle. Before this, he was only part of Lang Ya Sect.
"Of course, the true reason is because I have rank eight battle strength." Fang Yuan was crystal clear about this.
In the Gu Master world, an entity could rule above the group. As long as one had high cultivation level and battle strength, they would be unstoppable.
"If she knew I had rank eight battle strength, would You Chan have backed off?" Fang Yuan suddenly had a thought in his mind.
The dragonfish business was Fang Yuan's next focus in his immortal aperture developnt.
If You Chan backed off now, it would be perfect for Fang Yuan. But unfortunately, You Chan would not do that.
Fang Yuan shook his head secretly.
You Chan was currently one of the beneficiaries, it was too difficult to get her to give up her share of the cake. In treasure yellow heaven, even rank six Gu Immortals dared to contest rank eight Gu Immortals openly in business, or even provoke them.
Treasure yellow heaven was a place not even Heavenly Court could take over!
"You Chan... Eastern Sea's six beauties... Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence Physique..." Fang Yuan entertained the guests as he thought in his mind.
Others did not know You Chan's secret, but after gaining Shadow Sect's inheritance, Fang Yuan learned about many crucial details. One of them stated that You Chan had one of the ten extre physiques, the Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence Physique!
This was You Chan's greatest secret, she had hidden it well, but Shadow Sect had a specialized thod to search for the ten extre physiques.
In order to refine sovereign immortal fetus Gu, Shadow Sect needed to gather all ten extre physiques, during this process, they found out about You Chan's secret.
But back then, Shadow Sect already had the Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence Physique, so they did not target You Chan.
As for why You Chan had the Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence Physique but cultivated water path, that was the difficulty faced by lone cultivators. You Chan obtained a water path inheritance in the past, without other options, she had to cultivate it solely.
And later, it was too hard to change paths due to the risks involved, You Chan thus went on with it until now.
Fang Yuan could deduce that You Chan was deducing him because he had a lot of information about her, he knew that she was his biggest competition in the dragonfish business. On the other hand, Fang Yuan had ghost official garnt and many of Purple Mountain True Monarch's killer moves, he even had the thods from Shadow Sect and Lang Ya Sect.
As for the Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence Physique, it was written in , chapter four, section twenty-seven —
Legend says that the miniman surpassed Boundless Forest Samsara and persevered to build the ladder and made his way out of Ordinary Abyss.
When the miniman saw Ren Zu, Ren Zu sighed, if he had perseverance Gu back then, he would have conquered Reverse Flow River and would not have created such a ss.
Ren Zu wanted to save his children, but until now, he had not achieved anything.
Ren Zu saw that the miniman had perseverance Gu and gained new hope, he said to the miniman: "Miniman, oh miniman, I need your help."
The miniman asked: "Oh Ren Zu, how do you want to help you?"
Ren Zu told the miniman that he wanted to borrow and use perseverance Gu.
The miniman said: "Oh Ren Zu, the reason why I could leave Ordinary Abyss was because I used the trees that you planted. I chopped down those trees and built my ladder, thus, I owe you a favor."
The miniman agreed to lend perseverance Gu to Ren Zu.
But after Ren Zu gained perseverance Gu, he realized he could not use it.
"This is the perseverance of the miniman, not yours, Ren Zu." Cognition Gu appeared at this ti and told Ren Zu this fact.
Ren Zu was anguished, he sighed deeply.
He asked cognition Gu: "Then what should I do? I know that perseverance Gu can help but I cannot use it. I know the feathern can help but love cannot control them."
Cognition Gu told Ren Zu: "Nobody can force anyone to love them, but you can create a Gu to lure the feathern into helping you do things. Think about it, how did the miniman gain perseverance Gu?"
Cognition Gu's words were a huge inspiration to Ren Zu.
Ren Zu was overjoyed: "Oh cognition Gu, thank you for the great idea. I know what to do now, I want to create my own Gu."
Cognition Gu was curious: "What Gu is that?"
Ren Zu shook his head: "I am not sure, but I have an idea. I want this Gu to be sothing everyone in the world wants."
Thus, Ren Zu left Ordinary Abyss and went to the blue sea.
This was the blue sea that ford life Gu, it was the source of all life in the world.
Ren Zu had walked ashore from the blue sea, he was back here again.
Ren Zu was thirsty, he scooped up the blue sea water and drank a few mouthfuls, he got more thirsty as he drank it, but Ren Zu was satisfied: "I want to use the blue sea water to refine Gu. After I succeed, no matter who obtains it, they will never be satisfied, they will want more."
Thus, Ren Zu took away a lot of blue sea water.
After the sea level reduced, the beach was exposed. Ren Zu found that there were many sea urchin-like Gu on the beach.
This was not life Gu, it was difficulty Gu.
Any life would face difficulties.
Ren Zu's eyes shone, he said: "I want to refine Gu that everyone needs, but to obtain it, there will be difficulties."
Thus, he took many difficulty Gu.
After doing all these, Ren Zu left the blue sea and headed to the door of life and death.
After entering it, Ren Zu did not go deeply into the door of life and death, but only walked one round around the road of life.
He gathered a lot of worry Gu as he said: "I want to refine Gu that after getting it, people will not abandon easily, they will be worried that it will go missing."
After leaving the door of life and death, along the way, Ren Zu t with sadness Gu.
Ren Zu laughed happily: "Excellent, I want to refine Gu in which once people lose it, they will be very sad. This way, people will not abandon it easily."
Thus, he collected the sadness Gu.
Ren Zu had gathered everything, he started to refine Gu.
The flas of the Gu refinent raged on, a lot of black smoke was produced, attracting many Gu and lifeforms to co and watch.
"Oh Ren Zu, what Gu are you trying to refine?" Stupidity Gu was lured here as it asked curiously.
Ren Zu smiled: "Oh stupidity Gu, if you want to know, go into the fire and see for yourself."
Stupidity Gu went inside and never ca out again.
Not long after, wisdom Gu ca here as well, it asked: "Oh Ren Zu, what are you trying to refine?"
Ren Zu laughed: "Oh wisdom Gu, if you want to know, go into the fire and see for yourself."
Wisdom Gu flew in too.
But it only flew into the black smoke, once its vision was obscured, it flew around randomly and flew out again.
"Ren Zu, oh Ren Zu, I was almost deceived by you. I already know what you are refining, I am leaving." Saying this, wisdom Gu flew away.
Ren Zu felt that it was a pity, he sighed: "This way, after my Gu is refined, it can enslave stupid people, and blind wise people for so ti."
Days passed one by one.
The Gu refinent fla continued to burn, but he did not succeed.
The black smoke did not fade away, it gathered in the sky and created huge black clouds.
"Oh Ren Zu, you must have felt it, we are just one step away. This final step is the most crucial one." Cognition Gu said.
Ren Zu nodded, he stood up with determination and walked towards the fire: "It seems that this Gu needs to be created with human hands."
Saying so, Ren Zu chopped off both hands and threw them into the fire.
Boom!
The fla exploded as the endless dark clouds in the sky faded, under the golden sunlight that shone down, a little girl appeared before Ren Zu.
"Oh father, thank you for giving life to , I am Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence." The girl was radiating an aura of prosperity, she smiled towards Ren Zu.
Ren Zu looked at her and laughed: "Hahaha, I have another daughter now. But wait, did my Gu refinent succeed?"
Myriad Gold Wondrous Essence opened her right palm as she held the Gu towards Ren Zu: "Look father, this is the Gu that you refined, it is called — Wealth."

Western Desert.
This was a desert, the terrain was flat and endless towards the horizon.
There was a cracked rocky terrain with no vegetation growing.
But deep underground, it was another world. There was a huge mine built in an area full of natural ore.
A hundred thousand rockn were living here as miners, excavating all sorts of materials for Gu Immortals.
This was the famous myriad ore desert in Western Desert, it was in the control of the super force Shi clan.
The ore here were of various types and had huge quantity.
Other than the mortal resources excavated by the rockn, a lot of the immortal ore needed Gu Immortals to excavate themselves.
Like the subterranean adamantite, it was the hardest rank six immortal material. Or the dark inkstone, even the ancient sword dragon's claws could not leave a mark on it.
And deep below this myriad ore desert, there was a huge gold fragnt river current.
The gold fragnt current was a tallic river in immorial yellow heaven, a fragnt of the immorial yellow heaven had fallen into the myriad ore desert back then.
The immorial yellow heaven fragnt was once a land of treasures explored by Gu Immortals and Gu Masters. But as ti passed and eras changed, the fragnt got smaller and smaller before dissipating.
In the process of dissipating, the dao marks that left it turned the surrounding desert into the myriad ore desert. And this gold fragnt current was part of that fragnt in the past, it had not dried up even until today.
Fang Yuan's Mini Yellow Heaven also had a gold fragnt current, but it was very small, it was like an ant compared to the myriad ore desert's gold fragnt current.
And in this huge gold fragnt current, there was an immortal Gu formation.
The Gu formation had been active all the ti, monitoring the myriad ore desert and controlling the countless rockn miners.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a huge explosion as a blinding light erged from the immortal formation, a crack was created in it as a door opened.
Thick smoke ca out from within the door.
"Cough, cough." From the colorful smoke, a rockman Gu Immortal walked out.
But as he walked out, the rock skin on him fell off as his true identity was revealed.
He was a pure bred human Gu Immortal.
He was middle aged and had a mature gaze, his appearance was ordinary, he seed like an easy going person.
Right now, he was covered in soot as he coughed.
"The eighty-ninth Gu refinent failed as well!" The middle aged Gu Immortal sighed as he coughed out blood.
The blood clumps he coughed out were very special, after landing on the ground, they turned into all sorts of jewels, there were pearls, agate, jade, gold, silver, bronze, and more.
If Fang Yuan was here, he would be shocked if he saw this, even with his knowledge.
What was the reason this middle aged Gu Immortal suffered such a weird injury?
The middle aged Gu Immortal looked at the jewels around him as he had a peaceful appearance, not feeling surprised.
Because he knew what he was doing, he was refining wealth Gu!
Wealth Gu, it was a legendary Gu written in .
According to Ren Zu's biography, it was made from blue sea water, Ren Zu's hands, worry Gu, difficulty Gu, sadness Gu, wisdom Gu, and stupidity Gu.
However, it was basically impossible for the Gu Immortal to refine this Gu according to that recipe now.
This was not just because it was a story, but because a lot of details were subtle and not literal. And these materials were already extinct in the current world.
Fang Yuan had rank nine wisdom Gu even though it was not refined by him yet.
But the blue sea was already missing, how could anyone find blue sea water?
Even if they had it, what about Ren Zu's hands?
Then why was this middle aged Gu Immortal trying to refine wealth Gu?
It was the usual saying, man is the spirit of all living beings, Gu is the essence of heaven and earth, humans could create countless recipes to refine an Immortal Gu.
The thod in could not be used, but the Gu Immortal could modify the recipe themselves!
This middle aged Gu Immortal cultivated earth path, but he had a fortuitous encounter in his early days, he obtained an incomplete Immortal Gu recipe.
It was unknown who was that person who left this incomplete recipe of wealth Gu in his research to refine it.
The middle aged Gu Immortal obtained it and treated it as his treasure, because he knew that it was a precious Gu recipe and the predecessor's contribution was huge, if he worked on this recipe, he could likely refine wealth Gu.
From this wealth Gu recipe, the predecessor managed to deduce the effect of wealth Gu.
If he could refine wealth Gu, he would be able to turn it into anything in this world. That thing could be gold, silver, or bronze, it could be rank six immortal material or even rank nine immortal material.
But wealth Gu could not turn into any living being, including animals, plants, humans, variant humans, and Gu.
"If I refine wealth Gu, I will be able to turn it into any immortal material in the world, it is a hugely profitable business. I only need to convert it into an extinct Gu material to gain imnse wealth, I can even increase my cultivation foundation and surpass the entire Shi clan!" The middle aged Gu Immortal was extrely moved, he wanted to refine wealth Gu desperately.
He did not tell anyone about this, he was afraid of people's greed.
This middle aged Gu Immortal was Shi Zhong.
Shi clan was a righteous path super force in Western Desert.
Shi Zhong had an awkward position in Shi clan. Even though he had rank seven cultivation level, he was ostracized by Shi clan's Gu Immortals.
There was a historical reason for this, Shi Zhong's father betrayed the clan and caused huge losses to them, not just in resources but also Gu Immortals' lives.
Thus, since a young age, Shi Zhong had not been well treated by the Shi clan Gu Immortals.
In order to gain trust, Shi Zhong changed his na to Shi Zhong 1 to express his loyalty to the clan. But that did not change anything.
He was sent away by Shi clan's first supre elder to defend this myriad ore desert.
This place had abundant resources, but it bordered other super forces that were enemies of Shi clan, Shi Zhong was in great danger here. And there was little profits to be gained because this immortal formation was monitored the entire ti, it was so strict Shi Zhong had no chance to do anything.
The truth was, even if it was not strict, Shi Zhong would not try anything. If he was found out, his circumstances would be much worse.
Precisely so, Shi Zhong held great anticipation towards wealth Gu.
"The basis of Gu Immortal cultivation is the managent of one's immortal aperture. Without deep assets and foundation, no matter how much your battle strength is, that is only temporary, it is like building a skyscraper on a ground of sand." Shi Zhong had this realization, he had been working hard, even though the process was tough, he had never given up.
Thinking about his Gu Immortal cultivation journey, other than preparing for the necessary tribulations, he had invested all of his resources into the project of refining wealth Gu.
"Eighty-nine failures, I do not have enough humans now." Shi Zhong healed his injuries and checked his inventory, he realized that his human Gu material was insufficient, he had to collect more.
Shi Zhong was a righteous path Gu Immortal, but he actually used humans as Gu material, that was a demonic act.
But as long as he kept it a secret, nobody would know, Shi Zhong did not leave any evidence behind, nobody could target him.
Shi Zhong was very cautious in this, he would not let anyone find any clues to his actions. The human slaves that he bought were all from treasure yellow heaven, they were very safe purchases.
"I am using humans in place of the blue sea water in wealth Gu's recipe as well as Ren Zu's hands. This is not wrong. But was it not enough, do I need to add in lifespan Gu as well?"
Shi Zhong considered.
He had lifespan Gu, but he did not dare to waste them.
" wrote that even though wisdom Gu was not sacrificed like stupidity Gu, it was part of the refinent process, I do not have wisdom Gu, I used other wisdom path Gu worms in place of it, I can improve upon this aspect."
Worry Gu, difficulty Gu, sadness Gu, Shi Zhong had all of these mortal Gu, they were not hard to get.
He could even refine stupidity Gu himself.
"The Gu recipe is getting more and more complete." Shi Zhong healed his injuries and inspected the blood he spat on the ground.
His blood had turned into jewels and ore.
-x-X-x-
Shi Zhong had been imrsed in this for a long ti, he could tell that he had improved by observing his blood clumps.
"Even though I improved this ti, I am still far from success, there are a few missing steps. I need to work harder!" Shi Zhong was very experienced in this, he had a strong instinct developing.
He calculated and it was ti to feed his Immortal Gu again.
Shi Zhong inherited his family's inheritance, he had multiple Immortal Gu, that made the other Shi clan Gu Immortals very envious. It was a pity that taking over the inheritance had rules and could not be broken.
Shi Zhong owning these Immortal Gu was also a reason why he was targeted and ostracized by other Shi clan Gu Immortals.
He inspected his inventory and felt a huge headache.
"It is a little troubleso, I lack so food. I forgot that when refining wealth Gu, because I was missing so materials, I sold so of the food for my Immortal Gu that I had prepared earlier."
"At this ti... it is too difficult to gather more food. I should buy so dragonfish in place of the food, and feed my Immortal Gu first."
Thinking of this, Shi Zhong did not hesitate, his consciousness went into treasure yellow heaven.
"Dragonfish..." He had a clear objective, he found that many Gu Immortals were selling dragonfish.
As a buyer, he had to compare the goods of multiple sellers.
The dragonfish business was not like year Gu, it was sold all year round. Because dragonfish bred in all seasons, its market was lively at all tis.
Shi Zhong first went to You Chan's stall.
As everyone knew, You Chan was the number one dragonfish seller in treasure yellow heaven.
But she did not sell only dragonfish, she also sold other products, though primarily fish species.
In the past, when Shi Zhong wanted to buy dragonfish, he would get them from You Chan because her reputation made her very trustworthy.
If things went as expected, he would buy dragonfish from her this ti as well.
After seeing You Chan's goods, Shi Zhong did not buy them yet, he went to look around.
He soon found Fang Yuan's stall.
"Hmm? Soone is selling dragonfish here too? There is a quite a high quantity." Shi Zhong looked around and felt quite surprised.
He inspected and found that the dragonfish sold here were high in quantity and quality, they were on par with You Chan's dragonfish.
"And this stall seems more popular too." Shi Zhong looked around, there were several Gu Immortal wills here, as well as so divine senses communicating here.
"To think that after being in secluded cultivation for so long, the dragonfish business in treasure yellow heaven has a new strong contender." Shi Zhong was thinking when a Gu Immortal will went to him and spoke.
"Friend, you are here to buy dragonfish too? Why don't we buy it together, it will be cheaper." This divine sense said.
"Oh? What is going on?" Shi Zhong asked.
That divine sense explained: "You do not know? The dragonfish seller here has different rules. As long as you purchase beyond a certain quantity, the price will be lower. There are several classifications, but the point is that the more you buy, the cheaper it is."
Shi Zhong heard this and praised in his mind: "This thod is great."
Next, he thought of himself: "Maybe I can use this thod when I sell things in the future."
Shi Zhong considered it and felt the brilliance of this thod.
Even though it was essentially a drop in prices, with a higher quantity sold, the overall profits would still increase. Compared to the year Gu price war earlier, this thod was much more subtle and profound.
"Using this thod not only makes the sales of the dragonfish higher, it can raise their reputation. If soone really wants to buy dragonfish, to make it cheaper, they will invite their friends or even strangers to buy it together, it is a form of publicity for the seller."
Shi Zhong kept thinking about it, he felt that the dragonfish seller truly had amazing ideas.
"No wonder the Gu Immortal stall here has more people compared to that number one seller."
"Hehe, there might be proxies here set by the seller, not here to buy dragonfish but only existing to create a crowd."
Shi Zhong instantly felt interest about this seller.
"Forget it, I will buy it from here. The price is cheaper after all!" Thinking about this, Shi Zhong communicated with the unknown immortal and worked together.
Both sides were very happy, after both sides negotiated, they purchased a hundred thousand dragonfish together.
After the purchase, they split the goods in treasure yellow heaven and returned satisfied.
Setting aside how Shi Zhong is going to feed his Immortal Gu, the Gu Immortal who cooperated with Shi Zhong imdiately left treasure yellow heaven after getting the goods and returned to the sovereign immortal aperture.
Shi Zhong guessed right, the person who bought it with him was a proxy, they were not Fang Yuan but one of the other Gu Immortals from Shadow Sect.
Even if people could guess this, how could they prove it in treasure yellow heaven?
There was no way.
Actually, this was not a thod invented by Fang Yuan.
Shi Zhong had been focused on Gu refinent and did not pay much attention to treasure yellow heaven, this thod had been used by people long ago.
The novelty of the idea was not important, only the effect mattered.
Ignoring anything else, Fang Yuan was very successful at doing this.
These last days, as he increased the quantity of his goods in treasure yellow heaven, he had gotten much more attention.
A huge quantity represented his capabilities. Buyers were naturally more willing to buy from a more reliable seller.
On the other hand, Fang Yuan used the appropriate thod to sell them, his reputation was slowly climbing.
Fang Yuan's dragonfish were of high quality, with the food path immortal formation, their quality would only continue to increase.
Initially, there were few Gu Immortals who bought from him and they only bought a few each ti. But gradually, more and more Gu Immortals bought dragonfish from him, the quantity sold was rapidly increasing as well, in fact, he was getting recurring custors.
As Fang Yuan's greatest dragonfish business competitor, Eastern Sea's You Chan was still selling her dragonfish calmly without any commotion.
"You Chan's inaction is correct, because in the short term, my thod cannot threaten her. In fact, if she tries to use a similar tactic, it would greatly erode her earnings. After all, she is selling much more dragonfish than ." Fang Yuan thought to himself.
You Chan was acting very calmly in this situation, she had a great disposition.
"But after a while, she will start getting worried. Hehe." Fang Yuan was very confident.
The food path immortal formation he created only used a few Immortal Gu and so immortal essence to use, it was extraordinary.
But this thod needed at least several or even a dozen generations of dragonfish breeding to see effect.
You Chan was not anxious, neither was Fang Yuan, the longer this dragged on, the greater his advantage in the dragonfish business.
After retrieving his divine sense from treasure yellow heaven, Fang Yuan ca to the Gu refinent hall and saw Sixth Hair.
Sixth Hair was thin and haggard, in order to refine Gu for Fang Yuan, he had gone all out, he was exhausted both ntally and physically.
Now, he was at the final step of heavenly secret Gu's refinent.
It was ti for Fang Yuan to act.
White light filled the Gu refinent hall, nobody could open their eyes in such intense light.
Fang Yuan shut his eyes and entered the white light, he stopped when he got to the center.
An intense aura assaulted him, it was neither mortal nor immortal, it was in-between, at the final step before a qualitative change.
"We can start now." Fang Yuan cleared his mind as he transmitted to Sixth Hair.
After counting down, Sixth Hair deactivated the refinent path immortal formation in the hall.
Fang Yuan imdiately took over!
Countless thoughts erged from his mind, he used wisdom path thods concurrently, he took over the immortal formation successfully, under his hard work, the surrounding white light condensed and ford into a huge ring.
The ring was parallel to the ground, it surrounded Fang Yuan with him in the center.
Refinent path killer move — Heavenly Light Ring!
The first rotation.
Fang Yuan willed as the ring started to rotate slowly.
The first rotation succeeded, at the second rotation.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes and used his gaze to move the ring, it started to rotate even faster.
After several minutes, the second rotation succeeded, and at the third rotation.
Fang Yuan used his breath to move the ring, after a mont, he succeeded.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth rotations also succeeded as ti passed, Fang Yuan was at the final seventh rotation.
"It seems that sect leader put in a lot of effort after that failure." Sixth Hair watched from the side with anxiety, he sighed.
Seventh rotation.
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and did his best to rotate the ring.
Right now, the ring had already shrunk to basin-size, it floated above his head.
Boom!
With a soft sound, the ring shrunk into a tiny speck.
This was a Gu.
Rank seven heavenly secret Gu landed on Fang Yuan's head.
"I actually succeeded." Even the person himself, Fang Yuan, was surprised.
He failed the first refinent, but actually succeeded on the second try.
After his surprise, Fang Yuan felt intense joy.
"Maybe it was because I used luck path thods and had really good luck."
Fang Yuan took heavenly secret Gu down from his head and looked at it.
This Immortal Gu resembled a dragonfly, but upon closer inspection, it looked more like a twig.
The entire heavenly secret Immortal Gu was very long, it was half the length of an adult arm.
Its body was thin and long like a twig, it was very soft. There were seven feathered wings on each of its two sides, they were thin and green, resembling leaves.
It was flying casually in the air, or rather, it was so slow it looked like it was floating.
Fang Yuan observed it for a while before letting out a breath of air, sighing: "I finally refined heavenly secret Immortal Gu!"
-x-X-x-
Deep under Eastern Sea.
"I am ashad, you ca all this way but I could not help you." Hua An smiled bitterly as he said to You Chan.
The two were parting now.
You Chan ca to find Hua An for help, but because of Fang Yuan's superior wisdom path defense thod, not only did Hua An fail to find out anything, You Chan even got exposed in the process.
After hearing Hua An's words, You Chan shook her head, she looked at Hua An's strands of white hair as she said sincerely: "Hua An, don't say that. You expended your own lifespan for my matter when doing the deduction, I will engrave this in my mind. The reason we did not succeed was because the other party was too strong."
Hua An nodded: "Your opponent this ti is not simple. But no matter what, I failed to help you this ti, if you need any help in the future, co and find , as long as you do not mind my low attainnt in wisdom path."
"Hehehe, oh you." You Chan smiled, Hua An's words made her eyes shine, the gloominess in her heart dissipated.
The two bid farewell.
You Chan flew in the sky.
The wind brushed against her face and clothes.
While feeling this cold wind, she was calm as ice.
"Even though the opponent is very strong, I will not give up!"
"Even though Hua An failed to deduce anything, that does not an I do not have strength. It is ti to counterattack in my own way."
You Chan made up her mind, looking at the sky and sea, her face was filled with determination.
Fang Yuan soon caught wind of You Chan's new actions.
He had been paying attention to her.
You Chan added a new rule when selling the dragonfish. As long as returning custors bought from her, they would get a discount. For a period of ten years, as long as they bought dragonfish from her across consecutive years, they would get higher discounts.
Once she did that, she stabilized the situation. Many of the buyers who were lured to Fang Yuan earlier returned to her quickly.
You Chan's thod made full use of her advantage, she was bullying Fang Yuan for being a complete newcor in this business!
Fang Yuan could not employ this sa thod with the sa effectiveness as her.
Not only did You Chan do this, she also increased her stock of dragonfish in treasure yellow heaven, they piled up into a mountain, her desolate beast dragonfish could form into an army.
She was blatantly displaying her huge wealth and foundation.
With this, she obtained great results.
Treasure yellow heaven's discussions were all regarding You Chan.
"You Chan is the number one seller after all, to think that she had so much dragonfish for sale."
"That challenger must be stunned now, no matter who he is, there is a difference between him and You Chan."
"You Chan has been in this business for so long, her number one throne is not so easy to take down."
"Let's wait a while, I feel like the mysterious challenger is not so simple."
A small group of Gu Immortals were awaiting Fang Yuan's response.
But for the following period of ti, Fang Yuan did not do anything, it was as if he did not hear about You Chan's actions.
Fang Yuan still sold his dragonfish like before, even though his business was just starting to take off, he had suffered a huge blow.
"You Chan's current strength far surpasses . My current strength is too low, if we compete, it will not be wise." Even Fang Yuan himself had to admit that after seeing You Chan's assets, his foundation in the dragonfish business was much lower than You Chan.
Fang Yuan had only raised his dragonfish for so long, You Chan had been in this for a longer period. This was Fang Yuan's weakness in accumulation, he could not catch up to her in the anti.
Fang Yuan endured You Chan's counterattack and provocation.
Those Gu Immortals who were watching the show gave up on their expectations towards Fang Yuan.
Only You Chan did not put down her wariness.
Fang Yuan's inaction was a surprise to her, she felt a little worried.
A sheathed sword was the scariest, if Fang Yuan had reacted to her actions, You Chan would be able to counterattack based on his actions. But Fang Yuan refused to do anything, You Chan did not know what to do now, she was naturally feeling vexed and worried.
"Should I go on the offensive? Should I force him to react?" You Chan thought about it, she decided to use the most stable thod.
"Forget it, this situation is greatly advantageous to , at this rate, in a few months, this mysterious opponent's business will completely collapse, he will lose all of his custors."
"In this situation, why should I be worried? He should be the anxious one."
You Chan cultivated water path, she knew the saying 'water benefits all things but does not contend with them', there was no need to act excessively 1 .
Fang Yuan observed her for a few days, he soon found that You Chan started to stay passive now.
He praised her in his mind, he realized: he had t with a troubleso opponent this ti in the dragonfish business.
But Fang Yuan felt no anxiety.
He had a revised plan for this dragonfish business.
"The longer we drag on, the greater my advantage, I should wait for now."
His immortal aperture developnt was stuck at the dragonfish business, but that did not stop him from cultivating other aspects.
His soul foundation had already accumulated to eighty million man soul, he should have gone to hundred million man soul, but during this period, Fang Yuan practiced immortal killer move split soul, his soul was often injured and his foundation was lowered.
But this way, Fang Yuan's gain was that split soul beca more and more complete. He even used the light of wisdom during this period to modify the steps of activating split soul.
Other than split soul, Fang Yuan also practiced other soul path killer moves.
But these killer moves had weaker strength than the original version because he lacked Immortal Gu.
Fang Yuan's current focus was on heavenly secret Immortal Gu.
Different from most Gu Immortals, whenever Fang Yuan obtains a new Immortal Gu, his strength would rise sharply. This was because he had a vast number of inheritances, including the usage of many Immortal Gu.
Heavenly secret Immortal Gu was created by Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, it was later refined by Spectral Soul Demon Venerable's split soul Old Man Yan Shi, and was destroyed in the battle of Yi Tian Mountain.
Right now, Fang Yuan had refined it again.
Fang Yuan took out heavenly secret Immortal Gu.
Heavenly Secret had seven pairs of feather wings, it was floating before Fang Yuan.
Even until now, when Fang Yuan saw this Immortal Gu, he would sigh at his own good luck.
He did not expect that he had only tried to refine this Gu twice and succeeded on the second try!
This was a rank seven Immortal Gu!
His success was very lucky, it felt like a dream to Fang Yuan. If he had to try again, he had no confidence at all, he could not replicate this success.
Refining Immortal Gu was like this, it could make a Gu Immortal feel a roller coaster of emotions.
Sotis, one could fail a hundred tis without success. But sotis, they could succeed after one or two tries!
Fang Yuan had refined Gu countless tis, he had chains of failures, and also a lucky success like heavenly secret Immortal Gu, refining Gu was really an uncertainty.
It was truly a gamble!
Different from other Immortal Gu, there were only a few immortal killer moves involving heavenly secret Immortal Gu.
This was because Old Man Yan Shi had not created heavenly secret Immortal Gu for a long ti, and due to Shadow Sect's plans, Old Man Yan Shi needed to spend a lot of ti on the overall plans, and only created a few killer moves for it.
And most importantly, the most valuable move was exposing heavenly secret.
This killer move could predict the contents of heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, the usefulness of it was imnse!
As long as the prediction succeeds, one could put up defensive asures against it, the success rate of the tribulation would rise greatly, this was an Immortal Gu that would greatly shook the Gu Immortal world.
"Or maybe, I can start a business on this?" Fang Yuan had a thought.
Once this business gets on track and becos reputed, it might not have a stream of profits all year round, but each ti he had a deal, the profits would be imnse!
There was definitely a market for it.
However, in his current situation, Fang Yuan thought about it and gave up.
Because he did not want to expose the Immortal Gu.
His greatest enemy was Heavenly Court.
He had ten years to stop Heavenly Court from repairing fate Gu completely.
Right now, even though he developed rapidly, he was still endlessly far away from this goal, there was no hope of success.
In this situation, Fang Yuan needed to keep heavenly secret Immortal Gu as his trump card, if he did business with it, Heavenly Court's wisdom path Gu Immortals were not fools, they would learn about this.
Thus, Fang Yuan intended to conceal heavenly secret Immortal Gu and not expose news of it.
Wasting no ti, Fang Yuan started to practise his killer moves.
This killer move used heavenly secret Immortal Gu as the core, it was not exposing heavenly secret, but was called heaven's will dissipation.
For the short period of ti, Fang Yuan did not need to urgently practise exposing heavenly secret.
Because earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations were no longer problems for him, he could easily pass them.
At rank seven, the only risky one was grand tribulations.
But he was far away from a grand tribulation.
Heaven's will dissipation was a wisdom path killer move, it used heavenly secret Immortal Gu as the core, it targeted heaven's will and could get rid of heaven's will completely.
This move was created by Old Man Yan Shi, but he did not succeed, heaven's will dissipation was only an incomplete move when Fang Yuan obtained it.
Fang Yuan practised it for a while, the incomplete move could not succeed in activation of course, but the process allowed Fang Yuan to learn about the profundity of heaven's will dissipation.
He praised Old Man Yan Shi's talent in his mind.
With heavenly secret Immortal Gu's help, heaven's will could be directly attacked by the Gu Immortal and eliminate it.
But there were many factors in this, he was still far from actually succeeding.
But that was not a problem for Fang Yuan.
He had lower wisdom path attainnt level than Old Man Yan Shi, but he had his own foundation, and he could use the greatest advantage he had, the light of wisdom!
Wisdom Gu showed the power and value of a rank nine Immortal Gu once again.
Several days later, Fang Yuan completed the incomplete heaven's will dissipation.
After getting this move, he started to use it on Spring Autumn Cicada!
-x-X-x-
This Immortal Gu looked like a cicada, its head and stomach were brown and yellow, there were tree bark rings on its surface. The wings on its back were huge, they were translucent and resembled two overlapping tree leaves.
It was emitting rank six Immortal Gu aura at all tis.
It was the rank six ti path Immortal Gu — Spring Autumn Cicada.
The current Spring Autumn Cicada was sealed by Fang Yuan within the immortal zombie body's aperture.
Its body was warm and shiny, its wings were green like fresh leaves, this showed that Spring Autumn Cicada had completely recovered, it could be used already.
If it was right after rebirth, Spring Autumn Cicada's body would have no shininess, it would be dark and withered like rotting wood. Its wings would be yellow like the wilting leaves of autumn. The tips of its wings would curl up and look like fallen leaves.
Spring Autumn Cicada had a huge background, it was the Immortal Gu created by one of the ten venerables in human history, Red Lotus Demon Venerable, personally. It was also his vital Gu, it had an important status.
Its effect was to let a Gu Immortal sacrifice everything they had as fuel to move in the River of Ti, carrying their will upstream towards the past.
Spring Autumn Cicada's ability was incredible, but it had a major flaw too.
The owner of Spring Autumn Cicada would have their luck weakened at all tis. Simply speaking, Spring Autumn Cicada attracted bad luck.
At this mont, Fang Yuan looked at Spring Autumn Cicada with complex emotions.
It had been with him since his previous life, without Spring Autumn Cicada, there would not be Fang Yuan.
There was a question, which Immortal Gu had the biggest significance to a Gu Immortal? This question's answer varied among people, every Gu Immortal had their own answer. But Fang Yuan only had one answer, it was Spring Autumn Cicada!
Forget about his past life, looking at his current life.
Qing Mao Mountain, Three Kings blessed land, Yi Tian mountain, Spring Autumn Cicada displayed its might each ti, it was Red Lotus Demon Venerable's vital Gu indeed, Fang Yuan managed to turn the situation around and escape from danger each ti.
But after the Battle of Yi Tian Mountain, he had lost Spring Autumn Cicada. Even though Fang Yuan regained Spring Autumn Cicada later, it was filled with heaven's will and he could not use it anymore.
Fang Yuan left the control of heaven's will and beca its enemy, the Spring Autumn Cicada filled with heaven's will was completely unusable to Fang Yuan.
To display Spring Autumn Cicada's ability again, Fang Yuan would need to get rid of the heaven's will within. If not, even if he tried to rebirth, heaven's will would directly kill him.
"Now let see how this move works." Fang Yuan muttered as bright light shone in his eyes.
Immortal killer move — Heaven's Will Dissipation!
After so preparation, Fang Yuan's body was covered in a grey-white light.
Next, he used his hand that was covered in the grey-white light to touch the immortal zombie body.
The grey-white light was like flowing water, it flowed down from his body and arm to cover the entire immortal zombie body.
The grey-white light lasted for a while before changing.
Eyes appeared in the grey-white light.
These eyes were multicolored, resembling a rainbow.
They first appeared around Fang Yuan's palm, before they increased in numbers and spread to the surroundings.
Soon, these multicolored eyeballs covered the immortal zombie body. They blinked as they changed colors with each blink.
Next, the multicolored eyeballs spread towards the aperture.
Eventually, Spring Autumn Cicada's surface was covered by a small layer of colored eyeballs.
The colored eyeballs blinked continuously, each ti they blinked, it was an attack against heaven's will.
Spring Autumn Cicada started to shake.
The multicolored eyeballs were created and destroyed continuously, Fang Yuan continued to expend his red date immortal essence to allow an unceasing stream of multicolored eyeballs to grow.
Spring Autumn Cicada started to shake intensely.
After a while of shaking, Fang Yuan saw that Spring Autumn Cicada's surface had a mild crack.
His heart sank as he quickly stopped the killer move.
Guh.
His body shook like he was zapped by lightning, he had stopped the move too quickly, Fang Yuan was injured from it.
But this mild injury could not compare to the safety of Spring Autumn Cicada.
Fang Yuan ignored his injuries, he quickly checked his Spring Autumn Cicada.
The crack on Spring Autumn Cicada was not evident, but Fang Yuan had a vigilant nature, the mont it appeared, he noticed it.
The crack ant that Spring Autumn Cicada was injured.
Almost all Gu worms were fragile, be they rank six, seven, or even nine. Even if Spring Autumn Cicada was Red Lotus Demon Venerable's vital Gu, it was no exception.
After inspecting it, Fang Yuan's expression was solemn.
"Heaven's will..." Fang Yuan gritted his teeth.
Spring Autumn Cicada's injury was not severe, because he had discovered it early, such a mild injury was easy to handle.
But he could not continue using heaven's will dissipation.
At this rate, cracks would enlarge and increase in numbers, Spring Autumn Cicada would be destroyed.
Heaven's will's influence on Spring Autumn Cicada was far deeper and more severe than Fang Yuan had expected.
Fang Yuan thought about it for a mont and found his solutions.
He had two ways now.
One was to continue modifying immortal killer move heaven's will dissipation until it could get rid of heaven's will without harming Spring Autumn Cicada.
The second was to use Shadow Sect's thod, using refinent path thods to refine Spring Autumn Cicada before reverse refining it. During this process, he would get rid of the heaven's will.
These two thods were flawed.
Modifying heaven's will dissipation was quite hard. The truth was, it was not easy for Fang Yuan to deduce heaven's will dissipation, it was near his limit. It was not impossible to continue progressing in this aspect, but he would need to spend a huge amount of ti, effort, and resources.
And Shadow Sect's Gu refinent thod was only a concept, it was hard to execute in real life.
Heaven's will had such a huge influence on Spring Autumn Cicada, along with the risk that ca with Gu refinent, as long as it wreaked havoc, accidents would occur during the refinent process.
"It seems that I need to combine both thods, that would be the safest thod." Fang Yuan thought about it, he decided to go ahead with both ways.
Fang Yuan moved quickly, coming to wisdom Gu.
"I'll rely on you."
Wisdom Gu flew around Fang Yuan before emitting the light of wisdom.
Bathing in the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan easily used many wisdom path thods. Thoughts moved in his mind like huge waves, countless thoughts were produced and destroyed, they collided and created major fireworks.
Red date immortal essence was expended rapidly, Fang Yuan's forehead was soon covered in sweat.
The difficulty of the deduction was huge, it was evident from Fang Yuan's tightly knitted brows.
Fifteen minutes, thirty minutes... after two hours, Fang Yuan stopped.
He let out a breath of air, his expression was pale.
He had given it his all in his deduction, his brain was hurting now, his soul had turned dim, his vision also turned dark.
After resting for so ti, Fang Yuan recovered and used the light of wisdom for deductions again.
The deduction was very difficult, his wisdom path grandmaster attainnt level was useless here, it was beyond his current capability.
Fang Yuan was forcefully using the light of wisdom to breakthrough.
But Fang Yuan had a determined personality, he refused to give up, he had no such thoughts of backing down.
He even placed his soul path cultivation and killer move practice aside, he placed all his ti and energy into the wisdom path deduction.
Even without any sleep or rest, working as hard as he could, progress was slow.
But Fang Yuan persevered.
"It is fine as long as there is progress, even if a day has little progress, what if I spend days, tens of days or even months on this?"
With such determination and perseverance, Fang Yuan went on to tackle this problem head on.
During this period, his dragonfish business was starting to find a breakthrough.
Sovereign immortal aperture, dragon scale sea area.
Countless dragonfish ford into groups as they swam in the sea.
Dragonfish looked like red carps, but much larger. Desolate beast dragonfish had even larger bodies, they were giants in the sea.
But the battle strength of the dragonfish was bottom tier, nothing of value.
After this period of breeding, a special type of dragonfish had appeared in Fang Yuan's dragon scale sea area.
This dragonfish was smaller than normal dragonfish, at the sa ti, the scales were a bit dimr, having a tallic luster to it, resembling red copper.
"The copper dragonfish has finally been bred." Fang Yuan inspected it and felt satisfied.
Dragonfish were not a natural life form, they were created by a food path Gu Immortal.
The person who created the dragonfish was none other than the beastman who created food path itself.
Fang Yuan obtained the inheritance of this beastman Gu Immortal from Shadow Sect, he had a deep understanding of dragonfish.
The dragonfish in the market might have food path dao marks, but they also had a mix of dao marks from countless other paths. But if he used the thod in the inheritance to breed them, after many generations, a higher quality breed of dragonfish would co about.
Like the copper dragonfish, it was a new species superior to normal dragonfish.
What created this situation was the food path immortal Gu formation that Fang Yuan had set up painstakingly!
Fang Yuan saw that there were a lot of copper dragonfish, he placed a portion of them into treasure yellow heaven.
"If I had just started the dragonfish business, this small quantity of copper dragonfish would not gain any attention."
"But earlier, I had already started selling dragonfish and even received You Chan's counterattack, the other Gu Immortals all know that I am in this business now."
"Hehe." Fang Yuan thought of this and laughed.
He did not need to guess to know that these copper dragonfish would create a huge commotion when they enter treasure yellow heaven.
"Oh You Chan, this is my true trump card, how will you deal with it?" Fang Yuan thought expectantly to himself.
-x-X-x-
Several days after the copper dragonfish was put up for sale.
Treasure yellow heaven went into a commotion.
"What dragonfish is this?"
"Copper dragonfish? A brand new species?"
"I heard the seller saying that the copper dragonfish has a better effect compared to normal dragonfish."
"Haha, this will be quite a show."
"Indeed, I thought that this seller was defeated by You Chan. But to think that he waited so long just for this powerful counterattack!"
"We are all going to benefit from the appearance of this new copper dragonfish species. I can deduce that this seller has a food path true inheritance." So Gu Immortals were jealous and envious, especially those experts.
The feeding of Immortal Gu was a problem that troubled not just Fang Yuan alone.
Food path true inheritances were sothing that most Gu Immortal experts wanted, they just did not have the fortuitous encounters.
However, treasure yellow heaven was a safe place that even Heavenly Court was without options against, these Gu Immortal experts went to approach Fang Yuan's will instead.
They directly talked about the food path true inheritance, they expressed their strong intentions to buy it.
But Fang Yuan ignored all of them.
He had so many inheritances in his hands, if he sold them, it would cause a huge commotion in the market, he would earn a ton of profits.
But that was fueling his enemies.
In the following great era, when the five regions chaotic war starts, anyone could beco Fang Yuan's enemy. In fact, Heavenly Court was already an irreconcilable enemy!
"Find him, find out the identity of this seller." After being rejected by Fang Yuan, so did not give up.
So rank eight Gu Immortals decided to collect Fang Yuan's intel and try to deduce themselves, or hire wisdom path Gu Immortals to help.
An innocent man attracts greed because of his wealth.
Those who were troubled by the feeding of Immortal Gu were usually the ones who had more Immortal Gu in their possession.
And these people who had lots of Immortal Gu were basically the stronger ones among their peers. Food path true inheritances were not just the solution to this problem.
There was also the dragonfish business!
With the appearance of the copper dragonfish, Gu Immortals saw how much potential this business had as a result of the food path true inheritance!
But they were bound to fail.
Fang Yuan's wisdom path defense thod made even one of the three wisdom path expert in Eastern Sea, Hua An, fail his deductions. Heavenly Court and heaven's will were also unable to deal with him.
In the past, Fang Yuan had gone into hiding because he needed to avoid deductions, but now, he no longer cared about this problem.
An ordinary copper dragonfish was held in You Chan's hands as it struggled from ti to ti.
You Chan's hands were trembling slightly, her expression was unsightly.
This tiny insignificant copper dragonfish was a huge threat in You Chan's eyes. This was far more terrifying and severe than Fang Yuan lowering his prices.
"To think that the enemy is able to retaliate like this. Impressive, truly impressive, my worry was completely correct."
After a long while, You Chan cald down and sighed repeatedly.
The appearance of the copper dragonfish was detrintal to her dragonfish business, it was a fundantal threat.
The severity was extrely high for You Chan, she was in great danger!
In fact, not just her dragonfish business, dragonfish businesses in the entire world was challenged by this copper dragonfish!
"I've already tested it several tis, the copper dragonfish is indeed better than ordinary dragonfish, the reason is that its body has a higher proportion of food path dao marks. What should I do?"
You Chan bit her lips, she had a solemn expression.
She had a tough personality, but after accepting the facts, she felt an intense indignant feeling in her heart.
"I cultivated so hard for countless years, how can I admit defeat so easily?"
"The dragonfish business is my main source of revenue, if it goes under, my cultivation will be in huge danger."
"I cannot lose like this!"
"Right, I, You Chan, am not a weak woman, how can I admit defeat so easily?"
"Copper dragonfish, since he can nurture it, why can't I?"
You Chan clenched her fists, bright light shone in her eyes as fighting spirit burst out of her.
She wanted to compete, she wanted to try and create her own copper dragonfish.
That was the only way she could contest this mysterious enemy, otherwise, ordinary dragonfish would not allow her to even be in the competition.
You Chan was not blindly confident, she had her own assurance in food path.
She had once obtained a food path inheritance, but it was not as authentic as Fang Yuan's.
Even though food path was barely circulated, it was not cultivated by only the creator himself.
Precisely because You Chan had the food path inheritance, she chose the dragonfish business as her main source of inco.
In fact, she had been trying to modify the dragonfish's quality too, but she had not succeeded yet.
"But now, the modified dragonfish is right in front of ."
"I had no progress earlier because my food path attainnt was too low. Now that I have this copper dragonfish as reference, I will be able to reverse deduce it, I will rather kill myself if I can't even do that."
"Hehe, you might not realize it, but your copper dragonfish will beco my fortuitous encounter instead!"
You Chan was full of vigor, she researched the copper dragonfish thoroughly, for the following period of ti, she was like a crazed researcher, she worked so hard she even forgot to eat her als.
On the other side, Fang Yuan was also working hard, he continued to deduce the solution to Spring Autumn Cicada's problem.
He moved forward with difficulty like a person who had just healed from illness trying to climb a steep mountain with his weak body.
It was filled with difficulty.
But no matter how difficult it was, Fang Yuan's ambitions could not be doused.
He progressed stably, even though each step was very difficult and yielded little result, he slowly accumulated his gains, they beca increasingly useful.
In this process, Fang Yuan gained a deeper understanding of how powerful the light of wisdom truly was.
The more he used it, the deeper his inspiration.
Bathing in the light of wisdom, Fang Yuan had unlimited inspiration, and these inspirations led him towards the proper answer.
Fang Yuan's wisdom path grandmaster attainnt level was also barely holding him together.
Ti passed quickly, half a month went by rapidly.
On this day, Fang Yuan stretched his arms as he yawned loudly.
Success!
He had finally succeeded in finding the solution to Spring Autumn Cicada's problem.
At almost the sa ti.
In Eastern Sea, the dragonfish sea area that had no wind suddenly had huge waves and ripples.
Under the deep sea, You Chan waved her arms around happily, she was extrely excited and joyful.
"I succeeded!"
"I finally recreated the brand new species of copper dragonfish."
"Even though I need to use his copper dragonfish as the breeding point, once I have several of these copper dragonfish, I will be able to breed even more of them."
"I will not lose this dragonfish battle!"
"What other moves do you have left, go ahead and use them all."
-x-X-x-
Sovereign immortal aperture, Mini Southern Border, Heaven Sealing Mountain.
This was a short and unassuming mountain. The core of the mountain was hollow, there was a Gu formation in it, used to seal the strength path immortal zombie body.
Therefore, it was called Heaven Sealing Mountain, it was ant to seal heaven's will.
Right now, Fang Yuan's sovereign immortal body was floating in the air, he was looking down at Heaven Sealing Mountain. Beside him, there was a Gu Immortal, it was the variant human Gu Immortal Sixth Hair.
Letting Sixth Hair into his sovereign immortal aperture was sothing that Fang Yuan had thought about deeply.
Normally speaking, the immortal aperture was an important place that needed to be kept as a secret, it was the foundation of the Gu Immortal's cultivation, it would not be shown to others.
But Fang Yuan had already let the Shadow Sect Gu Immortals into his immortal aperture, Sixth Hair was a mber of Shadow Sect too, he was worth trusting.
During this period of ti, Sixth Hair had done all he could to refine the Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan saw this and rembered it deeply.
There was another point, Sixth Hair and Ying Wu Xie were in contact, they were both mbers of Shadow Sect, they knew about the sovereign immortal aperture in the first place, and since Ying Wu Xie had already gone inside, there was no need to hide it from Sixth Hair.
"I am going to start refining the Gu." Fang Yuan breathed in deeply and said.
Sixth Hair nodded: "Sect leader, go ahead, I will do my best to assist you!"
This Gu refinent involved Spring Autumn Cicada, it was extrely important. Fang Yuan needed the help of this refinent path Gu Immortal Sixth Hair.
In fact, Fang Yuan had borrowed a number of refinent path Immortal Gu and mortal Gu from Lang Ya Sect a few days ago.
He set up a refinent path Gu formation using all of these Gu worms.
This refinent path immortal formation had already been set, Fang Yuan only needed to activate it now.
Fang Yuan willed as red date immortal essence was expended continuously, the immortal Gu formation started to activate.
Waves of white light soaked Heaven Sealing Mountain like flowing water.
A mont later, Fang Yuan multi-tasked and used a refinent path killer move.
Boom!
With a loud sound, air was pushed out as a giant golden pillar of light shot down from the sky.
The golden light pillar had a grand aura, everywhere it went, the flowing water white light was repelled, it directly penetrated Heaven Sealing Mountain and stabbed deep into its core.
Fang Yuan's immortal zombie body was inside the mountain, the golden light pillar landed on the immortal zombie body and completely suppressed it.
The immortal zombie body was creaking, as ti passed, it was starting to break.
Fang Yuan used his ti well and stabilized the golden light pillar before taking out a living desolate beast.
Crack.
A sword light flew over and cut off the desolate beast's head, killing it on the spot.
Puff!
A large amount of blood spewed out of the desolate beast's neck, it was like a huge red fountain.
The sll of blood perated, but the golden light pillar emitted a strong attractive force due to Fang Yuan's manipulation.
The blood from the desolate beast was instantly drawn towards the golden light pillar by a formless force.
That desolate beast corpse soon beca dried up as its blood was completely sucked away.
The golden light pillar absorbed the blood and had a hint of red mixed into it.
This addition made the originally grand light pillar more sinister and bloody.
Kill, kill, kill!
Next, Fang Yuan killed seven desolate beasts with a tough expression, he was rciless.
The golden light pillar absorbed all of their blood and beca a completely red light pillar, it had completely changed.
Sixth Hair nodded as he watched.
He recognized that the thod Fang Yuan used was called the seven kill blood path Gu refinent thod. This thod ca from Lang Ya Sect, Sixth Hair had heard of its na but did not know the details. Fang Yuan used Shadow Sect's inheritances to exchange for Lang Ya Sect's inheritances, obtaining this Gu refinent thod.
He disassembled this thod and only took the essence of it, after modifying it, it beca very useful here.
Even Sixth Hair was nodding in approval when he saw it.
Fang Yuan focused on controlling the blood light pillar, while Sixth Hair also started acting.
This ti, Sixth Hair was assisting Fang Yuan in the Gu refinent, he had a huge task.
Both sides had communicated amply before this, Sixth Hair did not need Fang Yuan's reminder, he knew what to do.
He took out the appropriate Gu materials.
These Gu materials were all flowers, there were ghost face sunflowers, wire cotton, heavenly flowers, seven treasure flowers, milk tea flowers, iron shell flowers, boat flowers, blood poison kerria, multicolored overlord flowers, green beetle water lotuses, red axe flowers, slly fly flowers, and others.
These flowers were of a variety of species, they were either big or small, so were mortal Gu materials, while others were immortal materials.
Sixth Hair started to use refinent path thods to process these flowers.
The handling of Gu materials required a great wealth of knowledge.
Every flower had its own way of processing.
Thankfully, Sixth Hair was a refinent path cultivator, he had a lot of experience in refining Gu, as a split soul of Spectral Soul, he had deep foundations. It was very wise to get him to process these flowers.
Ti passed, after several minutes, Sixth Hair finished handling all of the flowers.
He handled them well, the flowers were specially chosen and were not wasted, their essence was extracted and fused into a hundred flowers concentrate.
At this mont, Fang Yuan condensed the blood light pillar as it shrunk from a giant to a tree trunk-like length and thickness.
"The liquid is here, catch." Sixth Hair pushed as the floating flower concentrate flew towards Fang Yuan like a translucent bubble.
Fang Yuan stretched his hand and easily grabbed this hundred flowers concentrate in his palm.
Next, he breathed in deeply and created a new change.
Winds blew as dark clouds appeared in the sky.
Fang Yuan cried out abruptly as he waved his hands, throwing all of the hundred flowers concentrate into the sky.
The hundred flowers concentrate entered the dark clouds as they imdiately turned pink.
Splash splash splash.
A huge rain started to drizzle down.
Fang Yuan had a solemn expression, his fingers moved rapidly, only the afterimages of his fingers could be seen waving around.
The pink flower rain was drawn by the formless force, a portion fused into the blood pillar, the other was fused with the immortal zombie body, absorbed by the refinent path immortal formation.
The air was filled with an intense sll of flowers.
The blood light pillar that was like a tree trunk beca smaller and smaller, it shrunk until it disappeared completely.
Fang Yuan willed as the refinent path immortal formation activated rapidly, it was no longer as slow as before.
When refining Immortal Gu, a refinent path immortal Gu formation was very convenient.
In the five hundred years of his previous life, Fang Yuan did not obtain one, but now he possessed the details of a great number of refinent path Gu formations, he could even use his formation path grandmaster attainnt level to modify them using the light of wisdom, he could make them the most suitable formations for the Gu that he wanted to refine.
The refinent path immortal formation continued to work, using the flower concentrate, there was a temporary connection among the immortal zombie body, Spring Autumn Cicada, ad as well as Gu materials.
Using this chance, Fang Yuan opened the door of the immortal formation.
From the door, a wooden log flew out.
This wooden log was like shining gold, but upon closer inspection, it was made of wood. There were dewdrops on the log, they looked like amber. Several delicate clouds were forming and getting destroyed on the surface of the log.
This was the immortal material, golden cloud divine wood.
Like the other Gu materials, it had been kept in the refinent path immortal formation by Fang Yuan and was nourished by the hundred flowers concentrate.
The refinent path immortal formation worked as the golden cloud divine wood quickly broke apart and disintegrated into nothingness.
At the sa ti, wooden markings appeared on the immortal zombie body, similar to the golden cloud divine wood, dewdrops were forming on it, resembling amber. The delicate clouds were forming on the immortal zombie body's forehead, as well as its stomach.
Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air, telling Sixth Hair: "Take my place."
After processing the hundred flowers concentrate, Sixth Hair had been resting, until he heard Fang Yuan's orders to take over the immortal Gu formation.
Fang Yuan was relieved as he quickly sat down to rest using every second of his ti.
Even though the refinent process seed very smooth, it was not, every step was like treading on thin ice. His immortal essence expenditure was huge, and his mind was under imnse pressure.
Even with Fang Yuan's abilities, at this stage, he could barely continue.
It was dangerous to continue in this state, thus, Fang Yuan chose to rest now and let Sixth Hair take his place in the Gu refinent.
Normally speaking, the Gu Immortal refining the Gu cannot be changed easily.
Because a different person would have different immortal essence and aura, there were many flaws in this when refining Gu.
But Fang Yuan had deduced this step amply, he specially designed it, there were no problems with it.
