Otherwise, all previous efforts could very likely be in vain, and everything would be for naught.
Considering these factors, after careful deliberation, he decided to wait until tomorrow to refine the Wine Gu.
Because the School would choose the destiny Gu for all Gu Master apprentices tomorrow, everyone would be busy selecting their Gu worms, and their attention would naturally not be focused on him. This way, he could complete the refinement of the Wine Gu with Killer Move and Ghost Unaware (Killer Move).
"Flower Wine Ascetic, what kind of reward can you bring me? This is truly exciting!" Liu Chen sat on his bed in the dormitory room, his heart filled with excitement and curiosity.
He took a deep breath, then unhesitatingly chose to open one of the amethyst treasure box. As the lid of the treasure box slowly opened, a dazzling light instantly burst forth.
"Reward obtained: (Hua Jiu True Legacy) Flower Wine Ascetic's lifetime Legacy memories." The System's voice rang in Liu Chen's mind, clear and resonant.
Immediately after, a vast amount of knowledge surged into Liu Chen's mind like a tide. This knowledge was like an endless treasure trove, containing not only Flower Wine Ascetic's lifetime cultivation Legacy but also the countless precious Gu recipes and cultivation experiences he had accumulated.
The influx of this knowledge made Liu Chen feel a dizzy spell, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, striving to understand and absorb this valuable information. As time passed, he gradually discovered that the value of this knowledge far exceeded his imagination.
Flower Wine Ascetic, though named after 'flower wine,' was known as a notorious flower thief and a strong practitioner of the Earth Dao.
When Flower Wine Ascetic was young, he was just a Mortal. During a beast tide, he accidentally entered a Legacy, where he successfully opened his aperture and obtained a complete Earth Dao Legacy, which ultimately became the foundation for his dominance in Southern Border.
This knowledge was undoubtedly a huge fortune for Liu Chen. Not only could it enhance his strength, but it could also help him avoid many detours on his cultivation Dao. Moreover, compared to a Five-Rank Gu worm, the value of this knowledge was only higher, not lower.
The sect Flower Wine Ascetic cultivated was the most common Earth Dao sect in Southern Border, and his destiny Gu was that Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider.
This Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider was of extraordinary significance to him. It was what allowed him to dominate Southern Border; even though he was a notorious Demonic Path Gu Master, he could rely on this Gu worm to repeatedly escape encirclement by Righteous Path Fifth Rank Gu Master.
Among the many Gu recipes, only the Gu recipe for the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider was the most precious: First Rank Earth Spider Gu, Second Rank Wolf Spider Gu, Third Rank Earth Wolf Spider Gu, Four-Turn Hundred Li Earth Wolf Spider Gu, and Rank Five Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider Gu. Each refinement required specific conditions and Materials, and the difficulty gradually increased. However, Flower Wine Ascetic was able to successfully refine the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider to Rank Five, which undoubtedly proved his profound attainment in the Refinement Path.
It was precisely by relying on this point that he was able to refine such an extraordinary Gu as the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus. The Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus is an extremely precious Gu worm, exceedingly luxurious and valuable to a Gu Master.
In addition, Flower Wine Ascetic also controlled the First Rank to Third Rank Gu recipes for Wine Gu.
While Flower Wine Ascetic roamed Southern Border, there were also many legendary anecdotes. These memories further broadened Liu Chen's horizons, giving him a deeper understanding of this Gu World.
After obtaining this knowledge, Liu Chen suddenly realized how naive and childish his previous plan had been. He once thought that leaving the Mountain Village and becoming a lone Gu Master would lead to a smooth cultivation path, but now he understood that this path was full of endless hardships and difficulties.
The wilderness of Southern Border was far more terrifying than he had imagined. The scenes he had once envisioned in his mind now became real and dreadful. There were even some places where even a Fifth Rank Gu Master could very likely perish, unable to escape.
However, it was precisely because of Flower Wine Ascetic's true Legacy memories that Liu Chen was able to quickly recognize his mistakes and decisively change his original plan. He began to re-examine his cultivation Dao, thinking about how to cultivate better and how to utilize his own advantages to gain the greatest benefits.
After careful consideration, Liu Chen not only adjusted his plan but also further refined it. He incorporated his previous experiences and lessons into it, making this new plan more comprehensive and detailed. This new plan not only considered various possible situations during cultivation but also included new solutions for how to leave the Mountain Village.
After absorbing Flower Wine Ascetic's true Legacy memories, Liu Chen felt as if a brand new door to the Gu Master world had opened. He gained a deeper understanding of the raising, usage, and refinement of various Gu worms.
According to the classification standards of the Gu World, Liu Chen's current Realm had already reached the level of an Earth Dao Great Master. This meant that he had a considerable understanding and mastery of various Earth Dao Gu worms, and he could use them more skillfully.
Liu Chen's gaze fell on the last treasure box, and a hint of anticipation welled up in his heart: "What kind of reward will it be this time?" He unhesitatingly chose to open this treasure box, hoping to receive a pleasant surprise.
As the amethyst treasure box slowly opened, a purple light spilled out. Liu Chen's eyes widened, staring intently ahead. Suddenly, a giant Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider appeared in his dormitory. This wolf spider's body was as large as an ox, covered with a thick layer of black fur. Its entire body was pitch black, exuding a metallic luster, like steel.
Both its chest plate and back armor were rough, hard lines, displaying its domineering presence. It had three pairs of feelers, each feeler's tip spiraled, and the six feelers were sharp like steel drills, each capable of easily tearing through steel.
"Reward obtained: (Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider) Rank Five Earth Dao Gu worm, capable of burrowing and traveling a thousand li underground without leaving a trace."
Liu Chen was overjoyed in his heart. This was a Rank Five Earth Dao Gu worm! Although it looked terrifying, it was undoubtedly a very powerful treasure.
However, the joy did not last long, because this giant Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider occupied most of the room's space, making the already small dormitory even more crowded. Liu Chen could even feel the wolf spider's breathing and its fur rubbing against his skin.
Liu Chen didn't have time to think much. He quickly opened the System backpack and put the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider inside. With the disappearance of the wolf spider, the space in the room finally recovered a bit, but many items had been crushed and scattered on the floor.
