After dismissing Ma Yunlai, Dao Chengyi eagerly absorbed the tortoise shell into the Gu Cauldron, successfully extracting a certain temporal power from it that resonated with Shi Chan. At the same time, he also refined the tortoise shell, the Crisis Gu, and the Spiritual Rat together.
Good Fortune and Misfortune Avoidance Gu (Second Transformation): First Transformation Crisis Gu + Spiritual Sense Rat + Fortune and Misfortune Tortoise Shell
Effects: Detects danger, predicts fortune and misfortune, with a small probability of indicating where good fortune lies and the source of danger, and a high probability of warning of impending danger.
The energy consumption is 1,000, which is the maximum for the second stage. Based on the calculation that one small green sprout costs 10 energy, it would require 100 small green sprouts. It's only because the group of people under my command have been killing like crazy these past few days that I might not have been able to refine it.
The progress bar on Shi Chan's side also started to move. Although it was still comparable to Baidu Cloud, at least there was some hope.
The gains didn't stop there. With the complete annihilation of Niugang Village, some words on the Gu Cauldron were also lit up: Wisdom, Soul, Bone, Strength, and Humanity were all fully lit.
In other words, even the trivialities of human skin have been incorporated into the changes. There are some kinds of food, but there aren't enough people yet, but it's only a matter of time.
Wisdom Path: Wisdom Gu: It can be used to extract and refine the wisdom of intelligent beings, differentiate into offspring Gu to provide Wisdom Path Gu worms for refining, and at the same time, it can store the wisdom and spiritual light absorbed by Gu Path refiners.
Soul Path: Soul Gu: It can materialize the soul, refine the concept of the soul of things, differentiate into sub-Gu to provide Soul Path Gu worms for refining, and at the same time affect the soul of Gu Path cultivators.
Bone Path: Living Bone Gu: Refining can activate bones, allowing them to become Gu materials that can connect with other concepts. It can also activate and control the bones of Gu practitioners.
Power: Power Gu: This Gu can strip away other attributes and permanently bestow the power of a specific species upon it. It can also be used to influence and manipulate objects that possess the concept of power. It can differentiate into sub-Gu to provide Power Gu worms for refining, and can also extract the [power] of Gu practitioners.
Humanistic Gu: Humanistic Gu: Can be refined into tangible, man-made concepts as Gu materials or Gu, or can be man-made to represent a certain thing or concept. Can differentiate into offspring Gu to participate in any Gu worm refining. At the same time, as the Gu Dao practitioners spread, it can be sublimated into Humanistic World Gu.
He stared blankly at the Gu worms. The first few were within his expectations, after all, he was afraid of death and being betrayed, but the last one was a human Gu worm.
To be honest, Dao Chengyi really wanted to get rid of this Gu, because he was afraid that after he opened up the concept of humanity, his disciples and grand-disciples would refine some heaven-defying Gu to bring him down from his pedestal.
How could this damned Gu cauldron open such an abstract path of humanity? Is it possible that after choosing the path of humanity, it could take the fantasy route of becoming an immortal or an ancestor?
"Well, it's already happened. Let's just consider it as a hope for the younger generation. One should be magnanimous."
The Wisdom Gu looks like a wordless book but is actually a broad-winged butterfly. The Soul Gu is a beetle with a six-layered black disc structure. The Living Bone Gu is a white insect with two protruding limbs at the back, a flat mouth, and three flat legs below.
The Force Gu is more abstract; it's a worm that looks like a constantly rotating hollow gear, probably because I have a deep impression of gears from high school.
The Human Gu is as abstract as its description, resembling a small person. However, upon closer inspection, it contains everything except its large body. When you blink and look again, the scene changes completely. The small person also varies in size and shape, sometimes large and sometimes small, sometimes round and sometimes flat.
Just one word! Abstract!
Dao Cheng pondered for a while, looked at the Gu Cauldron's energy which was almost depleted, and then grabbed the Soul Gu in his hand, making it spit out its first offspring Gu. The Gu that had just emerged and given birth to its offspring immediately became weak and listless.
Dao Chengyi threw it onto the fish in the water, letting it go find food. In an instant, the once lively and active fish rolled its eyes and lay down.
It's not necessarily good, but it can still fly. In the future, feeding it might not even be enough for one person per meal. Having more Gu worms is good, but unfortunately, apart from the Gu Cauldron being a universal food source, the other Gu worms are picky eaters.
But these problems will eventually be solved. Dao Chengyi entered his secluded chamber, a huge stone chamber located beneath his study.
He took out his own flesh and blood refined into two types of Gu: the second-stage He Transformation Gu, the second-stage Pharmacist Gu, the first-stage Soul Gu, the second-stage Parasitic Gu, the first-stage Spore Gu, and the second-stage Blood Path Gu.
The last one advanced through the blessing of the pharmacist and the selfless dedication of one hundred people, and is considered the most effective Gu worm at this stage.
"Although the Bloodline Gu is still lacking in bloodline, I can prepare to refine the Clone Gu or Reincarnation Gu in advance, so that I won't have to worry about being killed."
This wasn't the first time Dao Chengyi had refined Gu without a Gu Cauldron, since Gu recipes for others didn't require one. However, this was the first time he had ever skipped a stage to refine a Gu of a higher level.
But everyone has a first time...
Alright, let's begin!
The black and white Gu worms emerged from the dantian, transforming into a Yin-Yang cauldron that swallowed all the Gu worms that appeared before it!
Refine!
