After Liu Chen wandered around the caravan for a while, he purchased some more gu materials. These gu materials were all carefully selected by him, as he intended to use them to refine Gu worms.
Liu Chen actually didn't care whether to buy some Gu worms to strengthen his combat power, especially since he now had the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider protecting him, so there was even less need to consider it.
After all, he was still cultivating in the School and temporarily didn't need to enhance his fighting strength. Moreover, although the caravan had a wide variety of Gu worms, none of them were what he truly needed.
Liu Chen currently possessed a Five-Rank Gu worm, which was already powerful enough. Coupled with his mastery of the Flower Wine True Inheritance and Nameless True Inheritance, he had full confidence in refining First Rank and Second Rank Gu worms.
Therefore, he would buy various gu materials in the caravan instead of directly purchasing ready-made Gu worms.
Considering the amount of primeval stones he had accumulated, it was more appropriate to save them for his own cultivation. Buying Gu worms not only cost a lot but also wasn't his most urgent need.
Liu Chen circled the caravan but still couldn't find the gambling den. Naturally, he also didn't see Jia Jinsheng. He thought that this character from the story would definitely bring him a treasure chest.
After all, according to the plot's development, Jia Jinsheng should be a key figure.
Perhaps the Jia Family Mountain Village hadn't sent Jia Jinsheng out for trade yet due to the family division, Liu Chen secretly speculated.
Liu Chen wandered back and forth through the caravan several times, his eyes wide like copper bells, not missing any corner, but in the end, he still didn't find any other treasure chests. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed; he had originally expected more surprises.
However, Liu Chen didn't get discouraged. He decided to return to his dormitory first, take a good bath, and change into clean clothes. Perhaps this could improve his luck.
After showering, Liu Chen felt much refreshed. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his new appearance, and his mood improved slightly. Then, his gaze naturally fell on the golden treasure chest.
This golden treasure chest was the only treasure he found in the caravan. Although he didn't know what was inside, Liu Chen was still full of anticipation for it. After a moment of hesitation, Liu Chen finally decided to open this golden treasure chest to see what secrets it held.
When he gently lifted the lid of the treasure chest, a dazzling light instantly shot out. After the light slightly dimmed,
The System's prompt suddenly sounded in his mind: "Reward obtained: (Treasure Light Gu) Four-Turn light Dao Gu worm, capable of emitting treasure light that can identify all things in the world. The more precious the treasure, the brighter the treasure light it emits, and it can also automatically search for precious treasures."
This Gu worm looked very much like a golden firefly, emitting a faint golden light all over its body, very beautiful.
Upon hearing this news, Liu Chen was overjoyed. He didn't expect such a precious treasure to be hidden in this golden treasure chest, and it was even a Four-Turn Treasure Light Gu!
The ability of the Treasure Light Gu made Liu Chen very excited. With it, finding treasures in the future would become much easier. However, Liu Chen also realized that although the System's rewards were abundant, these rewards didn't seem to form a complete School of thought, feeling somewhat piecemeal.
Liu Chen's understanding of the Treasure Light Gu mostly came from Treasure Light Heaven. Treasure Light Heaven was a Gu Immortal trading platform formed by an Eight-Turn Treasure Light Gu, where various treasures and Gu worms converged. And this Four-Turn Treasure Light Gu, although not as powerful as the Eight-Turn one, was definitely a rare treasure.
During these three days the caravan stayed in the Mountain Village, Liu Chen's life was very leisurely. Besides his daily cultivation, he had plenty of time to wander around the caravan. Unlike Gu Yue Bo, as the clan leader, ordinary clansmen rarely had the opportunity to interact with him. However, Jia Fu, who was also a Rank Four Gu Master, frequently appeared in the caravan.
It was in this inadvertent moment that Liu Chen unexpectedly obtained the golden treasure chest from Jia Fu! This unexpected gain made him extremely excited, and he returned to his dormitory satisfied with the treasure chest.
As soon as he returned to his dormitory, Liu Chen eagerly opened the golden treasure chest again. As the lid of the treasure chest slowly opened, a dazzling golden light instantly gushed out, illuminating the entire room.
"Reward obtained: (Golden Snake Gu) Four-Turn metal Dao mount Gu, capable of manifesting a giant golden python," the System's prompt sounded in Liu Chen's ear.
Looking at the golden snake-like Gu worm in his hand, Liu Chen couldn't help but sigh. Although this Golden Snake Gu was very precious, it was not of much use to him, and the Golden Snake Gu's food was heavy gold. Gold in the Gu World could only be used as gu materials or Gu worm rations, so it was very cheap. However, the Four-Turn Golden Snake Gu needed to eat too much gold; a hundred catties of gold could only sustain it for one month.
In desperation, he had no choice but to put this Golden Snake Gu into the System backpack, temporarily setting it aside.
Three days later, the caravan, as usual, packed its bags and prepared to leave. Liu Chen remained quietly in his dormitory, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, fully concentrating on mobilizing the pale green true essence in his Aperture.
As the true essence flowed, the sea of true essence began to fluctuate, as if stirred by an invisible force. The outer light membrane forming the Aperture gradually changed under the nourishment of the true essence. The original light membrane became thinner and thinner, and finally, at a certain moment, the last bit of light membrane became as transparent as a cicada's wing, transforming into a shimmering water membrane.
At that instant, Liu Chen felt a powerful force surge through his heart. His cultivation had finally broken through to First Rank middle stage! His original bronze true essence also became deeper, like a deep pool, containing endless energy.
And that Wine Gu still diligently absorbed the true essence, seemingly unaware of this change. As time passed, the middle-stage pale green true essence, under the action of the Wine Gu, was purified into high-stage dark green true essence, its color becoming even richer.
"Is this what it feels like to break through cultivation? It's so exhilarating!" Liu Chen secretly sighed in his heart. He clearly felt the improvement in his cultivation; that feeling of overflowing power made him extremely excited.
However, even though he had surpassed all the students who were with him during the same period, his usual performance remained unchanged. He still maintained a low profile as usual, not attracting attention, maintaining his persona as an inconspicuous figure.
