Weeks passed, and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building began forming floors at an increasingly rapid speed. More than ten floors had already taken shape.
As more floors materialized within Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, it became increasingly difficult for Hei tribe and Hei Lou Lan to continue progressing.
"The strength path Immortal Gu still hasn't appeared… and my available time inside Eighty-Eight True Yang Building is shrinking more and more. At this slow pace, I won't be able to clear many floors relying on Hei tribe alone!"
Hei Lou Lan felt extremely conflicted about opening Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to outsiders.
From his perspective — and from Hei tribe's perspective as well — Eighty-Eight True Yang Building belonged to them. Every Gu worm and reward within it was their property. No outsider had the right to obtain rewards by clearing its rounds.
But after thinking for a while, Hei Lou Lan realized what truly mattered most.
He had to obtain a strength path Immortal Gu and advance to become a strength path Immortal Gu Master. Otherwise, if he failed to obtain a strength path Immortal Gu, he would die a miserable death after leaving Imperial Court Blessed Land.
Thus, even if he had to sacrifice part of Hei tribe's benefits in exchange for clearing the rounds faster, he was willing to do so.
Hei Lou Lan gathered the Hei tribe elders and, gritting his teeth, relinquished part of his personal benefits. However, in exchange, a proposal was presented that greatly eased his anger.
"Tribe leader, since we are already planning to open Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to outsiders, why not charge them entrance fees? After all, we decide who enters and who doesn't. We cannot sell Guest Tokens to Gu Masters of Huang Jin bloodline, so we should simply charge them fees instead… We can't just let them enter for free!"
"That's a good idea."
"Yes, there are many Huang Jin tribes such as Ye Lui tribe and Ma tribe… We'll definitely make enormous profits from this."
"Hei Bai, you truly are a genius!"
Hei Lou Lan thought about it for a while and suddenly felt that the idea was excellent. His earlier anger completely dissipated.
The Hei tribe elders might have been shameless and tried taking advantage of him when he showed weakness, but he could always extort them later to recover his losses.
"This kills two birds with one stone. By allowing other Gu Masters to clear the rounds, my Owner Token will continue evolving. At the same time, Hei tribe will earn massive profits. And by the time the strength path Immortal Gu appears, my own strength will have risen to another level!"
Furthermore, experts like Pan Ping, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Chang Shan Yin, and Hao Ji Liu would rapidly grow stronger and become grateful toward Hei tribe. Without question, they would not refuse when Hei Lou Lan requested their assistance later.
News of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building opening to outsiders quickly spread throughout Sacred Palace.
An uproar erupted instantly, and it became the hottest topic being discussed everywhere.
Experts immediately rushed to purchase Guest Tokens from Hei tribe, while those possessing Huang Jin bloodlines — such as Ye Lui Sang and the others — headed directly toward the entrance of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building.
Soon afterward, Gu Masters flooded into Eighty-Eight True Yang Building like a massive wave.
Fang Yuan observed all of this with interest while controlling the formation within the isolated true inheritance domain.
There were three supreme true inheritances inside the isolated inheritance space:
The true inheritance of Wisdom Gu.
The true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck.
And the true inheritance of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building itself.
Fang Yuan could not directly seize any of them the same way he had with ordinary true inheritances and peerless true inheritances.
Each supreme true inheritance contained a vast amount of Giant Sun's will. Furthermore, every inheritance also possessed its own inheritance trial.
"It is difficult to obtain the true inheritance of Wisdom Gu or the true inheritance of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building itself. But the true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck is easier."
Part of the true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck had been damaged by Mo Yao in the past. Thus, a flaw existed within the inheritance — one Fang Yuan could exploit.
"But fully obtaining the entire true inheritance may not actually be a good thing."
Fang Yuan felt somewhat concerned regarding the true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck.
In his previous life, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun had both been acknowledged by the true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck, each obtaining a portion of the inheritance.
And because of that exact reason, they managed to survive the Assimilation Wind Veil before eventually being captured by Qin Bai Sheng.
That event triggered a chain reaction throughout Northern Plains after Qin Bai Sheng obtained the luck path inheritance. Eventually, Northern Plains Auction was held, greatly increasing the overall strength of the region!
Fang Yuan himself had benefited immensely from that auction in his previous life, obtaining Immortal Gu such as Unravel Mystery, Pulling Mountain, Pulling Water, and many other advantages.
This was something Fang Yuan still wished to see happen in this life as well.
He did not want Northern Plains to lag too far behind Central Continent in terms of battle strength. Furthermore, the auction would divert attention away from him once Central Continent Immortal Gu Masters arrived to investigate.
"I can obtain the true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck… but I must leave a small portion behind for Qin Bai Sheng so Northern Plains Auction still occurs. In the end, Qin Bai Sheng is a member of Shadow Sect, and the Immortal Gu he obtains will eventually be destroyed anyway. At that point, I can simply refine them again myself."
Two or three luck path Immortal Gu did not mean much to Fang Yuan.
He already possessed Dog Shit Luck Immortal Gu, which had finally begun showing its effects. However, acquiring more luck path Immortal Gu would greatly assist him in constructing Luck Cooking Pot.
Fang Yuan pondered while controlling the formation and rapidly expending Immortal Essence.
The supreme true inheritance of All Living Beings Luck trembled under the formation's power, but that was all.
So far, Fang Yuan had only managed to extract some mortal Gu and had yet to obtain any Immortal Gu.
