The Huang family caravan slowly drove into the Red Willow Oasis. There was a medium-sized family called the Liu family here. The patriarch had reached the fourth level of cultivation. Their power was roughly the same as that of the Guyue family, from which the protagonist Fang Lao Mo of the original novel came, but was far inferior to that of the Huang family.
Huang Ting looked at the pleasing green farmlands in the oasis and the happy people. A gentle breeze blew, and his body and mind seemed to be baptized, washing away the dust and fatigue of the desert.
Not long after, the Liu family, the owner of this place, sent a third-level elder to negotiate business and determine the location for the caravan to be stationed.
Soon, the Huang family caravan set up shops one after another, forming a commercial street, displaying a wide variety of resources and goods for people to buy and sell.
The Huang family's Gu Masters are not allowed to disband and are required to guard the store to prevent anyone from stealing or disrupting transactions.
Logistics Gu Masters like Huang Ting have it much easier and can roam around freely.
"The Gu Realm is vast, with any region equivalent to the area of seven or eight blue planets. However, its productivity is underdeveloped, wild beasts are numerous, and transportation is congested, which has led to the formation of a strong caravan culture."
Huang Ting walked through the streets and alleys, broadening his horizons. This was not only the case in the Western Desert, but also in the other three regions except Central Continent. For example, at the starting point of the original story, Qingmao Mountain in the Southern Region, there were also caravans passing by.
The protagonist Fang Yuandu made huge profits from the caravan transactions twice every two years, achieving a leap in cultivation and combat power. Of course, this also brought him a lot of trouble and he was targeted by the leader of the Jia family caravan.
"I don't know, where is my chance?"
Huang Ting pondered, if he decided to practice the way of fire, he already had the attack-assisting poisonous insects, so the only four things left were movement, defense, reconnaissance, and healing.
Normally, only the third-level Gu Masters are so particular about this, building a complete combat system with all six aspects complete, and mastering the killing moves. The first and second-level Gu Masters can use whatever they have.
But he was far-sighted and prepared for the future in advance.
"It doesn't have to be too comprehensive. After all, if I advance to the second level, I'll need to refine all the Gu worms on me, which is too expensive. I'll just choose one Gu worm for mobility or defense to ensure safety."
Huang Ting is a man of foresight. He has the caravan's wine bug in his hands, and it will be a high-level one in no time. It won't take long to fully equip it at a high price, and feeding it is also a hassle.
He came to the central earthen brick Gu house, which specialized in selling Gu, ranging from one to three turns, including wolf power Gu, white dolphin Gu, jade skin Gu, earth thorn Gu, ground wave Gu, three o'clock Gu, etc.
Even the Liuhuo Gu that he traded to the caravan was there. It was indeed a caravan from a large force, with a rich variety of species, many precious Gu insects, and strong strength.
After a while, Huang Ting found the target and transformed it into [Fire Clothes Gu], one of the family's inherited Gu worms of the Flame Dao, which had subsequent upgrades.
The Dao of Flame excels at attacking, and is among the best among many schools. It is not weaker than the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Sword, but its disadvantage is its weak defense. The Dao of Fire Clothes is also considered excellent among all schools.
The food for feeding is also easy to collect. It is the rhizome of Yanze grass with the most fiber. Does it look familiar?
That's right! The Fire Line Gu feeds on the leaves of the Yanze Grass. They feed on different parts of the same species. This is the true power of the Huang family, combining most of the Gu insect food in one.
This not only greatly reduces the burden of feeding, but also makes it difficult to be targeted. Fire Grass is easy to grow and is everywhere, making it impossible to attack the Huang family's Gu Masters at the root.
So Huang Ting spent two hundred Yuanshi to buy the [Fire Clothes Gu], and he still had two thousand five hundred Yuanshi left. It must be said that the Flame Dao Gu was cheap.
He remembered that in the original novel, Fang Yuan specialized in the long-lost strength skill. One level of strength Gu cost six or seven hundred, which was twice the price. Not only did he not have the subsequent secret recipe for upgrading, but he had to use all his brains to plot for each strength Gu worm, so the cost-effectiveness was too low.
Huang Ting thought to himself: "This is the general trend, the mainstream of the Flame Dao. It is unwise to go against it."
Of course, Fang Yuan took the powerful approach in order to plan for the inheritance of the Three Kings of Southern Xinjiang, and in the end he obtained two sixth-level immortal Gu. If he knew about the relevant Gu Immortal inheritance, he would have followed even the most unpopular school.
There is a world of difference between a Gu Immortal being called an Immortal and a fifth-level Gu Immortal. Anyone who fails to become a Gu Immortal is just an ant.
"The fall of Qingmao Mountain in southern Xinjiang, the battle for Shangjia City, the inheritance of the Three Kings, the blessed land of fox immortals in Zhongzhou, the blessed land of Langya in the northern plains, the struggle for the royal court..."
Huang Ting recalled several of the most important opportunities and plots in Fangyuan's early period, and a sense of urgency rose in his heart. Before and after the advent of the great era, there was turmoil, and the Gu Immortal was the ticket to entry, barely protecting himself.
He must improve his cultivation as quickly as possible and understand the situation in the five domains.
Afterwards, Huang Ting wandered around the Chamber of Commerce and saw the Liu family's Gu Masters selling Gu worms one after another. Some of them were so precious and powerful that he was tempted and wanted to buy them immediately.
Unfortunately, he is not Fang Yuan, the old demon, who is experienced and can make full use of resources. The wisest choice is to save resources and take action after understanding the direction.
Just like playing games, various game props are left unused without knowing their purpose.
At this time, many Gu Masters gathered in the distance, discussing the matter. Someone shouted, "I have a [Bronze Relic Gu], and it's up for auction. The highest bidder wins."
Huang Ting was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly pushed through the crowd to squeeze in.
The relic Gu is very effective and can elevate the Gu Master to a higher level without any side effects. For example, it can advance from the initial level to the intermediate level, saving countless hard work and keeping the foundation as strong and solid.
Among them, the bronze relic Gu is suitable for the first level, while the red iron relic Gu is required for the second level.
Therefore, even if it is a first-level Gu worm, its value is extremely high, comparable to a second-level Gu worm, attracting countless people to fight for it.
Huang Ting realized that the opportunity to take action had come. It would not be a loss to buy the relic Gu. It was one of the best utilization plans.
He saw a middle-aged Gu Master in the middle of the crowd holding up a bronze-colored round Gu worm. The Gu Masters around him looked at him eagerly and started bidding.
"Five hundred yuan stones..."
"Bah, who are you looking down on...Six hundred!"
In just a few minutes, people started bidding, raising the price to nine hundred Yuanshi, and then the bidding slowed down. No matter how powerful the bronze relic Gu was, it was only a first-level Gu worm after all. Which first-level Gu Master was so wealthy?
Huang Ting waited and watched for a while before deciding to make the final decision. Right now, it was just an ordinary Gu Master bidding. Once the Huang and Liu families came over, the price would be different.
The relic insect is definitely one of the strategic reserve insects of each major family.
"One thousand and five!"
As soon as Huang Ting shouted, the crowd instantly quieted down. The Gu Masters present looked embarrassed, as they had already purchased two second-level Gu worms at this price.
The seller was overjoyed. Fifteen hundred yuan was already far beyond his expectations, so he couldn't wait to agree.
After a while, Huang Ting obtained the bronze relic Gu, took it back into the empty cavity, and turned to leave.
Uncle Huang Shayuan had already received the news and rushed over. Seeing this from afar, he smiled and said, "This kid."
Huang Ting only had a thousand Yuanshi left, so he resolutely returned to the tent to practice hard and no longer paid attention to the Chamber of Commerce. This kind of self-sacrifice was something that ordinary people could not do, but he had a goal in his heart, and the world of flowers and flowers could not confuse him.
He did not plan to use the bronze relic Gu immediately. The high-level barrier had been worn down to the point of crumbling with the help of the wine worm, and it would be too extravagant to use the relic Gu again.
Soon after, he was promoted to a high level, and then took the relic Gu to break through the peak, crossing two levels in a row, saving countless hard work. After all, the training of a Gu Master becomes more and more difficult as time goes by.
