You only realize how little you know when you need it, and you only realize how difficult it is to practice Gu. Dao Chengyi once again regretted his previous life of just loafing around and waiting to die. At least it would have been better to learn more about biology.
After three days of cautious development, I threw all sorts of insects, herbs, and trees, whether I recognized them or not, into the insect dish. In the end, after eliminating the useless ones, I could only use nine.
The most rewarding item was the Five Poison Gu, which was made from five common poisons. To Dao Chengyi's surprise, this Gu could increase its toxicity by consuming other poisons, and it could also be continuously refined in the Insect Vessel.
I don't know if it was because the snake I caught was relatively large, but what came out in the end was a slender, black, scaled creature similar to a cobra, except that it had many small venomous barbs on its body and could also spit out tough venomous threads.
The second is the Crisis Gu, which uses three kinds of insects and animals that react fastest to danger. It is made into a Gu that can react quickly to danger. Although this reaction is not so autonomous, it is very reassuring.
The third gain is the Sound-Listening Gu, a special porous stone with sound-absorbing properties. When paired with several insects with strong hearing, such as mantises and moths, and placed in the ear, it can significantly increase hearing.
The fourth is the Grass Sword Gu, which is made from common small, sharp-toothed grass, mineral-containing stones, mantises, bees, beetles, and plants that can absorb minerals. It is a weapon that can be kept in an insect dish and taken out at any time.
As for other Gu such as Disguise Gu, Voice-changing Gu, Fluorescent Gu, Tracking Gu, and Bee-controlling Gu, they are useful as their names suggest. The only regret is that defensive Gu are difficult to cultivate, either because their coverage area is small or they have a great impact on the body, requiring more accumulation.
After Dao Cheng finished taking stock of the existing Gu worms, he began to think about how to advance them. For the Five Poison Gu, he planned to find some rare and highly poisonous creatures to feed it, which might encourage it to evolve more powerful toxicity and abilities. For example, the legendary Seven-Colored Poison Spider; if he could capture it and let the Five Poison Gu devour it, it might cause the Five Poison Gu to undergo a new mutation.
The Crisis Gu needs to be re-refined by finding a creature with a more acute sense of danger. He had heard of a kind of Spiritual Rat that has an extraordinary intuition for danger. If it were added to the species, it might make the Crisis Gu more intelligent and autonomous.
When Dao Cheng thought of the Sound-Listening Gu, he thought of the Sound-Absorbing Shell in the deep sea. If he could obtain this object and fuse it with the Sound-Listening Gu, it would greatly enhance the hearing effect.
As for the Grass Sword Gu, he decided to go to a place rich in minerals to find minerals containing mysterious power, and then combine them with some ferocious insects and beasts to reforge it, hoping to create a sharper and more deadly Grass Sword Gu.
As for those defensive Gu worms with defects, Dao Chengyi plans to travel to various places to collect unique defensive materials, try to break through the existing bottlenecks, and improve the effectiveness of the defensive Gu worms.
The above is a summary of the past three days and the subsequent developments. These are essential needs, especially the Bloodline Gu, which can accelerate the body's recovery. Dao Chengyi needs to further refine it.
Speaking of strengthening the refining process, Dao Chengyi also faces an urgent problem: the Nine Revolutions system is currently stuck at the first revolution and cannot move forward, and the accumulation will not increase as the materials are digested.
Dao Chengyi was also limited to practicing Gu techniques twenty times a day. He was naturally not satisfied with this result. His first thought was to improve his strength, and then he wondered if he needed some rare and precious materials.
Thus, martial arts, which was originally just a pending matter, appeared before us first. Martial arts does not necessarily require flesh implantation to cultivate. The need for physical fitness has always been common among the public. If you have money, you can enter a martial arts school to learn and even have flesh implantation done there.
Not being very bright, Dao Cheng wrote all of the above thoughts in simplified Chinese characters on a bamboo board. The writing was done by a black, caterpillar-like insect, whose tail oozed a dark liquid that formed characters on the bamboo board.
This was also a waste Gu used to refine the Tracking Gu, or rather, a low-grade Gu. Dao Chengyi placed it along with the bamboo board into the opening in the cellar wall.
After tidying up, he took the twenty pairs of straw sandals he had woven and went out to sell them. Today was market day in the village, and villages from all over Sanniu Township would come to Sanniu Town to buy and sell their goods.
Dao Chengyi, who had been poor for many days, was also preparing to make a small fortune at this market. Now, he could be said to have changed dramatically.
No wonder the demonic path of Gu cultivation is so convenient in novels. Dao Chengyi wouldn't be afraid even if he faced ten Zhao Ers now, as he could secretly poison them to death with poisonous Gu.
Praise be to the insect vessel! Who says this cheat ability isn't strong? It's truly too strong!
When Dao Chengyi went out, he was noticeably less gloomy and timid than before, and became much more confident, showing a better complexion when facing some people.
This change has become a topic of conversation among the villagers, who are now more willing to talk to the boy whose accent has become stronger.
"Chengyi, are you going to the market today? Do you need me to take you?"
"These straw sandals are beautifully woven! Those who are educated learn so quickly! Can you sell me a pair now?"
"Brother Yi, Brother Yi, when are you going to tell stories again? We want to hear the story of the Monkey King!"
Because of the market day, the people of Woniu Village gathered at the village entrance. It was common to see groups organized by village. Every household took advantage of the oxcarts and horse-drawn carts, which were originally used by hunting teams to sell furs and meat. However, it didn't matter much for a village.
With a skilled hunter and martial artist as bodyguards, the villagers were overjoyed and, at the same time, quite careless, chatting in small groups with their children and bundles.
The children who had successfully conceived were finally able to get up after lying down for about four days. They were in good spirits, but they were a bit restless and almost got into fights several times before being caught by the hunters.
They were supposed to go to the countryside to join martial arts schools. If they had some money, they could go directly to the city, but Dao Chengyi estimated that they didn't have the means, and these kids didn't seem to have the aptitude.
"Everyone's here!"
The village's big hunter was called Niu Shou. His father was a top hunter, and by his generation, he had become a landlord, with multiple wives and tenants.
However, he is still young and ambitious, and understands the specifics of flesh implantation. Dao Chengyi has reason to suspect that he is preparing to create a flesh demon himself.
He shut down the sound-hearing Gu in his ear because the sound was quite loud, and if it were amplified any further, Dao Chengyi was afraid his ears would explode. At the same time, it also posed a challenge to this martial artist, the great hunter.
Of course, Niu Shou, who was holding down the village intelligence organization auntie, had no idea that the cowardly guy who had been bullied in the crowd was now thinking about killing him; otherwise, he might have shot an arrow at him.
But he didn't know that after seeing no one answer, he waited a while and started to set off. However, during the process of turning around, a bee smaller than a fly flapped its wings and flew into the gap of his clothes.
Dao Chengyi sniffed, then opened his mouth, revealing a snake-like tongue that flicked gently in an unnoticed corner.
The convoy moved slowly along the road, which had been compacted for countless years and become as hard as stone. This marked the beginning of Dao Chengyi's journey from the village to a wider world.
He was very much looking forward to it, especially looking forward to it.
