Meanwhile, the Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor had fallen into constant turmoil over the past few days. The deaths of Refinement Path experts had finally been discovered, along with the fall of so many Rank 4 and Rank 5 experts from the Western Desert, causing a huge uproar throughout the region.
Members of the Xiao Family began investigating everywhere.
However, Lin Yan understood very clearly that the Gu Immortals behind the scenes did not care too much about this matter. Most of those who died were loose cultivators and Demonic Path Gu Masters. To the true higher-ups, such losses were not enough to affect the overall situation.
Because of this, Lin Yan deliberately kept a low profile for an entire month while quietly refining the Increasingly Fierce Gu and Fire Thought Gu he had obtained earlier.
Increasingly Fierce Gu was an exceptionally powerful Flame Path Gu. The longer a battle dragged on, the hotter and more violent its flames became, somewhat similar to Sun Cu's Accumulating Earth into a Mountain.
As for Fire Thought Gu, it was a rare Wisdom Path Gu worm that specialized in attacking thoughts. Its usefulness and value far surpassed Soul Travel Gu and Clear Mind Gu.
Those two Gu worms had already begun falling behind Lin Yan's current level, so he simply sold them and recovered tens of thousands of primeval stones.
In the end, Lin Yan perfectly integrated Increasingly Fierce Gu into both the Six-Armed Divine Fire Yama and Blazing Sun killer moves. It was an extremely versatile Gu worm that could fit into almost any Flame Path battle style.
At the same time, he also planned to develop a Wisdom Path killer move centered around Fire Thought Gu.
He still clearly remembered being hunted down by Zhang Bai in the past and suspected that Wisdom Path methods had been involved. Moreover, Wisdom Path itself was extremely useful when deducing killer moves.
After the turmoil outside gradually subsided, Lin Yan quietly set out once more. Guided by the black-clothed Sun Yue, he arrived at the agreed location.
The two sides discussed the details of the alliance, carefully defining their obligations and responsibilities before jointly activating the Metal Oath Gu to seal the agreement.
Afterward, Sun Cu casually tossed a mortal Gu worm toward Lin Yan. Inside it was an enormous amount of information. It was none other than the Immortal Gu recipe for Transformation Stone.
Lin Yan's eyes immediately brightened. One of the main reasons he chose to ally with Sun Cu was precisely to gain access to Immortal Gu recipes.Through the process of refining Immortal Gu, he could continuously accumulate experience and deepen his foundation, steadily improving his Refinement Path attainment and reputation while laying the groundwork to create his own Immortal Gu in the future.
Sun Cu said calmly, "I encountered many opportunities throughout my life, but the greatest one was obtaining the inheritance of a fallen Rank 6 Gu Immortal. It just so happened that the senior also cultivated the Earth Path."
"After achieving Immortal Ascension, that senior suffered greatly from lacking Immortal Gu and remained at the bottom among Gu Immortals. Because of this, he spent his entire life trying to develop an entirely new Earth Path Immortal Gu. Transformation Stone was the result of his efforts."
"Unfortunately, even until his death, he still failed to gather enough materials to refine it."
"So that's how it was…"
Lin Yan immediately understood. No wonder Sun Cu, despite only being a Rank 5 Gu Master, possessed such astonishing wealth. He had truly obtained the inheritance left behind by a Gu Immortal.
And Gu were the essence of Heaven and Earth, while humans were the spirit of all living beings. The novel had repeatedly mentioned that Immortal Gu possessed uniqueness by nature.
Like mortal Gu, Immortal Gu also contained Dao Marks. However, once a Gu worm reached the Immortal level, it would undergo a qualitative change, becoming part of the Great Dao itself.
Because of this, every Immortal Gu was unique, and their numbers were extremely limited. If someone already possessed a certain Immortal Gu, then no one else could refine the same one.
The only remaining options were either to develop an entirely new Immortal Gu recipe, or determine whether that Immortal Gu had already been destroyed before attempting to refine it again through its existing recipe.
Then Sun Cu took out several storage Gu worms and said, "These contain part of the materials, roughly one-tenth of the total. I hope you can process them into a semi-finished Immortal Gu as soon as possible. I plan to undergo Immortal Ascension next year."
Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned slightly. Next year? That left him with barely a year to prepare. A single year was nowhere near enough.
His thoughts entered the storage Gu to inspect the resources inside, and even he could not help but draw in a sharp breath.
The value of these materials could no longer be measured with primeval stones alone. Hundreds of millions? Perhaps even more. There were also rare Gu Worm such as Purple Crystal Relic Gu, Lifespan Gu, and other resources whose value already surpassed mortal-level materials.
Even Lin Yan, who possessed knowledge of several Immortal Gu refinement processes from the original novel, felt shocked after seeing this.
The recipe involved countless strange materials, bizarre processing methods, and unbelievably complicated refinement steps. The refinement steps alone required more than three thousand auxiliary Gu worms ranging from Rank 1 to Rank 5, including nearly a hundred Rank 5 Gu worms.
The difficulty was simply terrifying.
Fortunately, the Gu Immortal who left behind the inheritance, along with Sun Cu himself, nearly two-thirds of the entire refinement process had already been completed.
