Chapter 462: Exchanging Gu


    Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral


    “Youngd, please have some tea. This is a high-grade cloud smoke tea, have a taste of it.” Lang Ya


    land spirit sat at the edge of the bed as he brewed a cup of tea for Fang Yuan personally.


    Fang Yuan sat at the spot thend spirit was sitting at previously, looking at this ‘peculiar’nd spirit


    wordlessly.


    In the conversation earlier, Fang Yuan had talked to thisnd spirit, and understood — thisnd spirit


    liked collecting recipes, it will try its best to get its hands on any new recipes it discovers.


    If it were any other person, thend spirit would’ve extorted and threatened him already. But Fang Yuan


    was a Demon Venerable’s inheritor, he did not dare to do so, thus he could only beg nicely.


    “Handsome youngd, is the tea not nice? Are you happy? For the sake of this tea, exchange that


    human skin recipe with me please.” Lang Yand spirit showed a smiling expression as he tried to


    please Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan drank his tea silently.


    The mysterious, strong, and sagely image of Lang Yand spirit copsed rapidly.


    “Youngd, do me a favor, pity this old man! I live alone here, I am so lonely, so bored, so thirsty. I can


    only look at these recipes daily to pass time. Are you so cruel, to reject the request of such a pitiful old


    man like me?” Thend spirit had a grandpa appearance, having white beard, white hair, and white


    eyebrows, staring at Fang Yuan pitifully.


    “Hey, have some self awareness, you are and spirit, not a human.” Fang Yuan’s eyes were twitching.


    “Youngd, whatever you say, as long as you will give the recipe to me, you can do anything to me!”


    The ‘grandpa’ winked at Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan controlled his urge to kick this creep, as he shouted: “No means no.”


    “Lang Yand spirit’s body shuddered, as it started crying, rolling on the ground: “No, I want to


    exchange. I want the recipe, I want the recipe, youngd, you are too cruel, too ruthless, youck


    compassion. Why are you not exchanging the recipe with me, will it kill you? Please just exchange it.”


    “Seriously, rumors cannotpare to meeting in real life…” Fang Yuan’s head was full of ck lines as


    the image of Lang Yand spirit that he had broke into pieces, and was stepped into tiny shards on the


    ground.


    However, this showed Lang Yand spirit’s innocence and sincerity.


    Thend spirit grandpa rolled on the ground and cried for a long time, but Fang Yuan did not relent.


    He had no choice but to stand up, with tears all over his face, even his beard, hair, and eyebrows were


    wet.


    “Youngd, what’s wrong with your conscience? You are simply too cruel, as expected of the inheritor


    of a Demon Venerable…” The grandpained as he looked at Fang Yuan, like a wife who had just


    been cheated on.


    Fang Yuan could not stand this gaze, he shuddered as he sighed: “Nevermind, nevermind, I can give


    you the human skin Gu’s recipe. But you have to wait until the time is right.”


    “Youngd, you are awesome, you are the kindest person ever. So when will the time be right?” Land


    spirit was extremely overjoyed.


    “Hehehe, five hundred yearster.”


    Land spirit grandpa frowned, and immediately slumped: “That’s so long away…”


    “Hmph, this is the best I am willing to offer, why, you don’t want to exchange anymore?”


    “Of course I want to exchange. It’s just five hundred years, I can wait. Youngd, I will be waiting for


    you, this is our agreement for a lifetime.” The old grandpa said affectionately.


    Fang Yuan held his face, sighing deeply: “I have a recipe here, I want to exchange it for connecting


    heaven Gu.”


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Once he heard Fang Yuan’s request, Lang Yand spirit’s expression changed, he stood up right and


    raised his head slightly, showing an arrogant expression: “Oh, you want to get connecting heaven


    Gu…”


    He spoke slowly and casually: “To tell you the truth youngd, I have an uncountable number of recipes


    here. If the recipe you produce is already owned by me, I will not take it.”


    Fang Yuanughed confidently: “Old man, your era is long over. Bring me a brush and paper, I will


    write a portion of it for you.”


    Just after he wrote half of the content, Fang Yuan stopped.


    “Write, write it, what else is there?” Land spirit stood at the side, scratching his ears as his eyes shone.


    He had already confirmed that this was a new recipe, he had never seen it before.


    “This is a rank five recipe, where is your connecting heaven Gu?”


    “Here, here.” Land spirit waved his hand and a connecting heaven Gu appeared on the table.


    Fang Yuan finished writing this recipe and refined the connecting heaven Gu, keeping it in his aperture.


    At the side,nd spirit looked at this recipe gleefully.


    The Gu worm in the recipe was a new Gu discovered by Gu Masters five hundred yearster. During


    the chaotic five region battle, it was an era of innovation, of all sorts of new Gu were developed and


    created.


    Every time such a chaotic era appeared, a rank nine Gu Immortal would be born.


    Fang Yuan had his previous life’s memories, although he forgot a lot of things, he still had a great


    number of recipes inside his head.


    These recipes, to exaggerate, were ahead of the current times by an era! Of course thend spirit had


    never heard of them.


    “Do you have divine sense Gu?” Fang Yuan kept connecting heaven Gu and asked.


    “Yes.”


    “Exchange?”


    “You still have recipes?” Land spirit grandpa was shocked and overjoyed.


    Fang Yuan smiled as he took the brush and paper, writing once again.


    But this time, halfway through, thend spiritughed: “Young man, I have the recipe of this Gu worm


    already.”


    “Oh?” Fang Yuan stopped writing, his expression was stunned.


    He did not think that thend spirit was lying. Land spirits were pure, yes means yes, and no means no.


    “If you don’t believe me, you can look at this.” Lang Yand spirit grabbed the air, and a cowhide recipe


    appeared,nding on the table.


    Fang Yuan took a look, it was the real deal.


    “It seems that the Gu worms in my memories, although they only appeared five hundred yearster,


    might not be new Gu after all.”


    Thinking so, Fang Yuanughed, saying to thend spirit: “No worries, if this is no use, I have another


    recipe.”


    But this time, Fang Yuan only wrote a third of it before thend spirit pped: “Although I do not have


    this recipe, I have something very simr, look at this.”


    Saying so, he handed Fang Yuan a recipe, it was 90% simr to his.


    Fang Yuan immediately understood: “My recipe might have been improved on by a Gu Master using an


    ancient recipe.”


    “Youngd, this recipe does not have much value, I will not exchange for it.” Land spirit said.


    Fang Yuan revised his ns.


    When Long Hair Ancestor was alive, he loved to collect and research on recipes. He was known as the


    number one immortal of the refinement path of all times. He lived for a long period of time, and


    collected a vast number of recipes, he could be said to have been an extremely sessful collector.


    As for Fang Yuan’s generation of the new age, they had not reached the apex of the time period, at


    least Great Dream Immortal Venerable had not appeared yet. The Gu worm recipes in Fang Yuan’s


    memories,pared to Lang Ya blessednd’s umtion from many eras, seemed to be extremely


    insignificant.


    “Look at these then.” Fang Yuan started scribbling again.


    But for these recipes, either Lang Ya blessednd had it or it was a modified ancient recipe, thend


    spirit had no intentions to get them.


    Fang Yuan was helpless.


    In his memories, there were some Gu worms that were definitely new, but they had a great importance


    in the future, each represented a great benefit to him, and could easily change the situation of the


    regions. Once they get exposed by Lang Ya blessednd, his losses were small issues, but it might


    potentially alter history, the disadvantages were too great for Fang Yuanpared to the gains.


    “Land spirit, look at this recipe.” Fang Yuan thought, and wrote the stargate Gu’s recipe.


    Land spirit took a look and was interested. The more Fang Yuan wrote, the more its interest grew.


    “I’ve never seen these recipes before, they are rather peculiar, very peculiar.” The old grandpa


    muttered as he rubbed his chin.


    This was a rank five Gu recipe, Fang Yuan sessfully obtained the divine sense Gu from it.


    “Youngd, this stargate Gu is interesting, it has the effect to cross the five regions. The five regions


    have their respective barriers at the boundaries, but this can actually make use the power of ck


    heaven. This type of Gu worm, usually only hole earth Gu and connecting heaven Gu are popr


    ssics. But this stargate Gu canpete with the two of them, and is not inferior in any way! Did you


    create this Gu’s recipe?” Land spirit asked.


    “Of course!” Fang Yuan admitted it without hesitation.


    He had zero guilt in impersonating and taking this glory for himself.


    Next, he started to brag shamelessly: “The few recipes earlier were also devised by me, although I also


    used some current recipes as the base for my research.”


    This act undoubtedly deepened his rtionship with Lang Yand spirit.


    “Little friend, you have talent for refinement path, I am truly amazed!” Land spirit grandpa stopped


    calling Fang Yuan youngd, but started calling him little friend.


    “But this stargate Gu has its weaknesses. You need to gather starlight at night to activate it. Other than


    that, this Gu’s refinement sess rate is low, but if we add a few supplementary materials into it, we


    can raise the sess rate by 30%.”


    Next, thend spirit listed a few materials.


    Fang Yuan frowned as he listened, he had never heard of these materials.


    It seems that they were either materials from the immemorial era, or just simply too rare and unique,


    with little use normally.


    Land spirit continued: “It seems this stargate Gu is best paired with the starlight fireflies. WIth the


    starlight fireflies, you will have starlight, and the stargate Gu can be used regardless of time or


    location.”


    “What?” Fang Yuan heard this and his heart pounded, asking quickly: “Starlight firelfies, what are


    starlight fireflies?”


    “You don’t know about starlight fireflies? That’s true, they were already extremely rare during the


    immemorial era, and were extinct during the olden era. When the immemorial nine heavens were still


    around, most of the starlight fireflies lived in orange heaven.” Land spirit exposed another ancient


    secret.


    Fang Yuan was disappointed: “Since it is extinct, there’s no need to mention it.”


    “The so-called extinct is merely in the mortal realm, recently, I saw a swarm of starlight firelight when


    making a transaction in treasure yellow heaven, I think it belongs to Star Lord Wan Xiang.” Land spirit


    recalled.


    “Really?” Fang Yuan’s eyes were shining.


    The reason he exchanged for connecting heaven Gu and divine sense Gu were so that he could


    impersonate a Gu Immortal and make transactions in treasure yellow heaven, to obtain resources and


    stop his reliance on Immortal Crane Sect.


    Land spirit’s words greatly increased his interest in the starlight fireflies.


    Fang Yuan’s eyes rolled,ughing craftily: “Land spirit, I still have many recipes here, but I only want


    starlight fireflies!”


    Land spirit shook its head: “I can’t exchange that.”


    “Why?”


    “I do not have starlight firefly Gu.” Land spirit said as a matter of fact.


    Fang Yuan said snappily: “If you do not have starlight firefly Gu, can’t you use connecting heaven Gu to


    buy it in treasure yellow heaven?”


    Thend spirit looked at Fang Yuan with a weird expression: “Why do I have to buy starlight firefly Gu?”


    “If you do not buy starlight firefly Gu, how are you going to exchange for my recipe?”


    Land spirit shook its head, adamantly saying: “Your recipe can only exchange for Gu worms I currently


    have in the blessednd.”


    Fang Yuan was speechless, thend spirit was rigid, it could not make suchpromises, after all, it


    was not human, as and spirit, it could not make flexible decisions.


    In the end, after Fang Yuan talked until his lips were about to tear, no progress was made.


    Thend spirit only followed the rules.


    Fang Yuan could only stop his attempt, but suddenly he had a thought: “Wait, you said you will only


    exchange for Gu that are currently in your blessednd?”


    “Yes.”


    Fang Yuan licked his dry lips: “Then I’ll use my Immortal Gu recipe to exchange for your Heavenly


    Primeval Treasure Imperial Lotus, is that okay?”
