After urging the three poisonous insects on his body, Huang Ting became more and more familiar with their effects. He only sighed, "What a pity, there are no attacking poisonous insects."
At this moment, he heard the mortals behind him say respectfully, "Hello, Deputy Chief."
He turned around and saw a tall, muscular and fierce middle-aged man approaching. He was startled and remembered that the other party was the deputy leader of this caravan, a third-level peak Gu Master, and also the uncle of his original body, Huang Shayuan.
A rank three Gu Master is no longer weak in the Gu world. He can be regarded as the elite among Gu Masters and the backbone. In the family, he is the elder. The minimum standard for wandering alone in the wilderness is to have a rank three cultivation level.
As for the fourth and fifth ranks, they are the patriarchs of the major families. The Gu Immortals and Godly Dragons above them are elusive and almost never appear to intervene in the struggles in the Gu world.
Huang Ting opened his mouth to ask for more, but still called out, "Uncle."
The wilderness is dangerous. Once you become a Gu Master, you are just cannon fodder and die in the blink of an eye. You really think that the original owner is stubborn, but in fact he has a background.
Huang Shayuan looked at his nephew with love. His brother-in-law and sister died in the mouth of the sand wolf while on a mission, leaving him as the only child. In addition, he had no son, so he basically regarded him as his heir.
He asked, "How is it? Are you used to life in the caravan?"
Huang Ting felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his uncle's concern, so he carefully replied according to the original owner's personality: "It's quite comfortable."
This is the truth. There are all kinds of poisonous insects with different functions, and the living conditions are not worse than in the previous life.
"Haha, that's because you haven't encountered any danger. Then you'll realize how cruel the wild world can be." Huang Shayuan laughed, "But this trade route was discovered by our Huang family after years of exploration. It's basically safe."
He then took out a black and red beetle-shaped Gu worm with a red line on its back and handed it to Huang Ting, praising him: "I've seen you work hard for the caravan during this period. This is your reward."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ting took the insect and took a look at it. His heart was pounding and he exclaimed in amazement: "Is this a level 1 [Fireline Gu]?!"
"That's right!" Huang Shayuan said proudly, "Our Huang family is a large force. Our ancestors have all achieved the fifth level of cultivation through the ages. We possess the fifth level of cultivation in both earth and fire. Among them, the Fire Line Gu is the core of our family's fire cultivation. It is extremely powerful, has a wide range of applications, and can be continuously refined."
"You haven't chosen your own destiny Gu yet, so use it to refine it into your own destiny Gu."
There are nine levels for Gu Masters, and there are also nine levels for Gu worms, which correspond to each other. The art of Gu involves refining, nurturing, and using the worms. Refining means refining the Gu worms according to different secret recipes. The process is extremely dangerous and the worms can be easily damaged.
The function of the natal Gu is to be able to participate in Gu refining without being damaged. Each Gu master can only have one natal Gu. Once it is determined, the future path will be determined, and the cost of changing it is quite high.
"The Flame Path? I'm going to follow the Flame Path from now on?"
Huang Ting thought deeply and still decided to refine it into his own natal Gu. First of all, he was not a person who was too ambitious. There was no room for pickyness now. He would use whatever he had. Most Gu masters could hardly get a Gu, let alone consider the subsequent upgrading of the Gu worm.
The second Flame Path is indeed suitable for the Western Desert. The Flame Path, Wind Path, and Earth Path are prevalent here. The Five Elements School of Gu worms has always been the mainstream in the current Gu world. It will be much easier and cheaper to collect similar Gu worms in the future.
He was already luckier than most people. He was able to open his mind and practice, and his qualifications exceeded 99% of the Gu Masters. He had a family to support him, an orderly inheritance, and he even had a biological uncle.
At least his background is much better than Fang Yuan, the protagonist of the original novel of the same period. The Gu Yue family is only a medium-sized family, and the strongest person is only at the fourth level. The inherited poisonous insect is the unpopular and promising Yue Dao.
Huang Ting could guess that this was obtained by his uncle using his own Yuanshi in exchange, and he said with emotion: "Thank you, uncle."
To be honest, it was not his intention to travel through time, and how the original owner died was also a confusing matter, but from now on he was willing to treat Huangshayuan as his family.
"It's okay, we're family." Huang Shayuan waved his hand and said proudly, "I'll be happy if you can go back and compete for the top ten in the family competition."
Huang Ting's face turned red when he heard this. Just like many old-fashioned novels, the training of new members by the Gu world families was also similar, but it was necessary. The protagonist Fang Yuan of the original novel had also experienced it.
The Huang family is slightly different in that after the age of fifteen, they will give new members two choices. One is to directly choose the natal Gu from the family Gu room and stay in the family territory to study. The second is to join the caravan and work. They will be directly given three Gu worms and a generous reward.
The latter can use capital to purchase the desired poisonous insects and speed up cultivation. The more poisonous insects they have, the more dangerous it is.
Huang Ting chose the latter, and now with the support of his uncle, his future is promising.
Then he said goodbye to his uncle and couldn't wait to return to his tent to refine the poisonous insect.
Huang Shayuan looked at his nephew's hurried back and laughed, "This kid."
In the tent, Huang Ting sat cross-legged with a few crystal-clear, round, goose-egg-sized milky white stones at his side. These were Yuanshi, the hard currency in the Gu world, similar to Lingshi. Often, one Yuanshi could restore most of a Gu Master's true essence and could also assist in cultivation, making it extremely valuable.
One insect is enough for a mortal family of three to live for a month, and the price of a first-level insect is generally around two or three hundred. This shows the love and care of my uncle Huang Shayuan.
At this moment, Huang Ting looked into the empty space inside his body and saw the Fire Line Gu swimming in a dark green ocean. It was hit by layers of waves and its entire body began to be stained with a touch of dark green, but it was extremely tenacious and kept resisting.
Refining the poisonous insect is not easy. It is necessary to remove the wild will contained in it and replace it with one's own will. The process requires constant flushing with true energy.
It takes more than ten days to refine a first-level poisonous insect at the initial stage of cultivation, and it consumes seven or eight Yuan stones during this period.
Fortunately, Huang Ting has reached the intermediate level of cultivation, which can speed up the process a lot, and three days is enough.
A few days passed in a flash, and the caravan set off again. Huang Ting did odd jobs while refining the Fire Line Gu, and finally subdued it completely.
Huang Ting sat on the camel, closed his eyes and focused on the four Gu worms in the empty holes in his body, thinking to himself: "The next step is to transform it into my own Gu."
Unexpectedly, when he was using the secret method to transform the Fire Line Gu, an accident occurred and he failed!
The next moment, an invisible poisonous insect appeared above the green Yuanhai Sea. It looked like a mirage, the size of a thumb, beautiful and crystal clear all over, with colorful light flowing around it. Wisps of smoke rose around it, outlining various mountain and water shapes.
"What kind of insect is this? I already have my own natal insect? What's going on?!"
Huang Ting was shocked. The original owner had no memory of it, so he didn't recognize this insect at all.
Huang Ting immediately frowned, attempting to identify it based on the original knowledge, and soon came up with a possibility: "Could this be the legendary Dream Path Gu worm?!"
The use of Gu worms is refined and cultivated, and the "use" is divided into many schools according to the characteristics of the Gu worms, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, as well as rare schools such as Qi, force, soul, and slave.
Huang Ting has four poisonous insects, the Cool Wind Gu belongs to the Wind Path, the Clear Water Gu belongs to the Water Path, the Sand Pit Gu belongs to the Earth Path, and the Fire Line Gu belongs to the Fire Path.
The Dream Path is extremely rare and has not yet been created. There is no trace of the related poisonous insects. According to the original book, it will only appear after the arrival of the great era in the future.
The original novel's Fate Gu revealed that the future eleventh Nine-Transformation Venerable would be the Great Dream Immortal Venerable, specializing in the Way of Dreams! Legend has it that she will surpass the previous ten Venerables to become the most powerful Immortal Venerable.
To some extent, it can be considered [version t0] and [the strongest equipment].
The characteristic of the dream-path insect is that it focuses on illusion. The insect looks extremely beautiful, like a dream.
This insect just happens to fit the relevant characteristics. If Huang Ting hadn't tried to identify his natal insect, he wouldn't have discovered it.
Huang Ting was puzzled as to how the Dream Dao Gu worm appeared on his body. Even the protagonist Fang Yuan's biggest advantage was his understanding of the Dream Dao. Even the other party only obtained the Dream Dao Gu worm after becoming a Gu Immortal.
"Wait, could it be..."
Huang Ting's eyes lit up slightly.
