Lo Jik stares at one peculiar reward. He did impregnate Bai Lin. His thoughts are simple. Once he advances to Rank 4, his gains shall come from Rank 5 Gu Masters and above. But how hard is it for Rank 5 Gu Masters to appear?
Lo Jik only knows two well-known female Rank 5 Gu Masters—Su Shou and Wu Ji.
So, he needs a stable source of rewards. Bai Lin is a clan leader. He can still get a steady stream of Bronze Rewards from Bai Lin should he advance to Rank 4. After all, her status in the Bai Clan will still be higher. Although Lo Jik wants to enter the Central Continent, his plans don’t mean shit compared to the outcomes in life. He likes possessing backups. The Bai Clan will still be beneficial once he advances to Rank 5. After all, he will have a clan’s resources at his beck and call.
He could do more in Bai Clan at that stage than in the Shang Clan.
If having a baby is the price, then a baby it is.
‘I also know several Blood Path Gu that protect me from others using my blood to harm me. The chances of someone doing this are small. But it’s better to be prepared than get caught lacking. Impregnating Bai Lin also allowed me to get an additional Golden Reward. Each of these Golden rewards is outstanding! They represent a chance to attain Rank 5 Gu! If lucky, I may get more goodies from Imaginative Strength’s Inheritance.’
Lo Jik doesn’t linger on the thought since he acted already. Instead, he summons the Silver Reward.
The light glimmers and Lo Jik accepts the Silver Relic Gu.
Others might think Lo Jik is annoyed. But he accepted such a fate long ago and focused on the positive.
These Relic Gu are popular commodities in EVERY community. He can sell it for a satisfying price anywhere he likes.
Lo Jik summons the second reward after storing the Relic Gu.
‘Oh?’
Lo Jik blinks in surprise.
He opens the Determined Fist Gu. As the Determined Fist turns into ashes, a Gu rapidly expands before falling on his lap. This Gu is incredibly similar to the Little Giant Gu. Instead of black hair, dirty-blonde hair scatters around the shriveled head. However, its blue eyes stare at Lo Jik with unsaid determination.
Rank 3 Little Giantess Gu.
Like the Frost Demon is suitable for females, and Ice Crystal is tailored for men—Little Giantess suits women, and Little Giant is for men.
Men can use Little Giantess Gu. However, they will temporarily develop breasts and thicker hips. Balance is everything for a Strength Path martial artist, and they may need dedicated practice to overcome this issue.
There are also other issues. After several uses, Lo Jik realized how the Little Giant Gu affects one’s thoughts. It triggers the Giant’s innate fury once a Gu Master gets injured enough. Although extended use may not affect the body after enough Body Refinement, it can still affect the mentality of the Gu Master, making them more susceptible to emotions like anger.
Lo Jik believes similar issues lie with the Little Giantess Gu. A man using this Gu may receive even more backlash than a female Gu Master.
‘But I cannot sell it,’ Lo Jik sighs. ‘I won’t be able to explain it. It’s also useless to me, and I will need to spend a lot of resources nurturing and sustaining it.’
He COULD share it with Bai Lin. But it’s not convenient. She must have headed out. Even if he chases her down, how can he explain the Little Giantess’ shriveled state? Before that, how would they explain their relationship?
It’s too inconvenient. Lo Jik wouldn’t mind sharing it had it been more convenient.
He recollects his bearings and summons the first of Golden Rewards.
The light glows in the Blanket’s realm. Lo Jik stares at the first reward.
A Rank 1 Bookworm. However, Lo Jik doesn’t move to touch it. Instead, a formless fluctuation appears around the Rank 1 Bookworm before its aura transforms, revealing a hint of Rank 5! Lo Jik felt something amiss when he felt the connection. Only now does he accept the Gu.
Lo Jik contains the information in the Rank 5 Gu once it enters his head and focuses on its origin.
He quickly locates a few passages. As expected, it’s an inheritance. But the origins of this Inheritance make Lo Jik blink in surprise.
—Fateful Inheritor, you already know my title, The Heart Refining Fiend. However, I’m born of the Clan Bai. My late father named me Kin. My Younger Brother exiled me from the Bai Clan due to my lack of talent. He desired the Clan Leader’s position. Sigh. He died many moons ago. His descendants rule the Clan. I had no intention of returning there and roamed the Southern Border after advancing to Rank 6.—
—I inherited a Gu Immortal’s Inheritance. The Blessed Land I resided in was destroyed during my ascension. I lost another home. It belonged to a strange Immortal. The Land Spirit of that Blessed Land said the Immortal wasn’t of this World. How curious. Did he come from the two Heaven?—
—I didn’t know I was targeted the second I accepted this Inheritance. Hehe. It’s the mighty Wu Clan! I should have known better. The Gu Immortal I inherited my refinement path Gu Set and Blessed Land from had a Divine Fortuitous encounter! He got the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable’s Inheritance.—
—I tried asking the Land Spirit about it. However, the Gu Immortal used a method to cut that part of his life and memories away. But I know the clues are in the inheritance. The Wu Clan desires that shocking Inheritance!—
—I can’t find it no matter what. I tried several methods. Sigh. I’m about to die under Wu Clan’s attacks. I shall leave an inheritance. I’m sure the Wu Clan will either mark it or leave it for another Fateful individual who could solve this mystery. In this Bookworm, I offer the unadulterated contents I took from the mysterious Gu Immortal.—
—Run and hide if it’s the former. The Wu Clan Gu Immortals must have marked the entrance of my Blessed Land. I don’t know what the conditions of accepting my Blessed Land were, but take what you can and RUN!—
Lo Jik opens his eyes and purses his lips.
‘This should be Bai Lin’s ancestor. The Bai surname is ordinary. But it’s too much of a coincidence!’
‘Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable?’ Lo Jik’s thoughts move. Only ten Gu Masters have the title ‘Venerable’ since the beginning of time! All these men and women were peerless experts, untouched by their kind. They established the foundations of several paths and led their era to new heights!
Among them was the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, who could steal anything under the vast Heaven! If given a chance, he could steal Heaven!
Lo Jik’s breathing turns ragged as he skims through the Bookworm.
What could it be?
What?!
What is this True Inheritance?
Lo Jik stops after four hours. There wasn’t anything aside from several Refinement Path recipes. There wasn’t even any Immortal Recipe. However, it’s a Golden Reward and a Rank 5 Bookworm.
‘Sigh. I got too impatient. How can I find the answers when a Gu Immortal couldn’t? I will ponder on it later.’
Lo Jik moves on and summons another Golden Reward.
The light fluctuates and reveals a determined fist Gu. Lo Jik’s gaze brightens. He likes this more than cryptic hints.
The Determined Fist turns into ashes, revealing another Rank 5 Gu!
‘This is—’
Shock appears on Lo Jik’s face as he picks the sky-blue sphere. This sphere has white clouds inside it. The surface of the sphere is currently unclear. The clouds inside are small and wispy, appearing weak and barren.
‘Sky Strength Gu!’
Lo Jik laughs as he stores the Gu.
‘Great! I thought of using the Lightning, Fire, Earth, and Water set. These four are the most common, while the Sky Strength Gu is already extinct. It’s also inefficient to refine since the Shang Clan lacks one of its crucial materials.
Gleeful, Lo Jik summons the third Golden Reward.
It’s another Determined Fist Gu!
Lo Jik opens it, finding a Rank 5 Strength Gu inside. This Strength Gu is a brown spider.
‘Rank 5 Desolate Howling Wolf Strength Gu. Too bad I don’t have more space. Possessing ten Strength Path Phantoms is already my limit. Hmm. I can think about its use later!’
Lo Jik smirks and summons the fourth reward.
He blinks as he unexpectedly notices a familiar silhouette within the light.
Rank 4 Yellow Gold Relic Gu.
‘This for a Golden Reward?’ Lo Jik frowns. He expected better rewards since Golden Rewards requires stricter conditions.
‘What?’ His heart quakes. Something strange happens. The light appears again, dropping a Rank 4 Yellow Gold Relic Gu!
Unexpectedly, the Rewards are TWO Yellow Gold Relic Gu!
This is the first time Lo Jik’s trait issued two rewards. He recovers from his shock and collects the Relic Gu. Shang Clan doesn’t sell these Yellow Relic Gu and controls them to control the experts under their employ. A Rank 4 Gu Master can create a Clan. How can Shang Yan Fei let such a treasure fall into other’s ambitious hands?
Lo Jik exhales. The last Golden Reward from Bai Lin. Even if he marries her, he would only get a Silver Reward since Lo Jik intends to advance into Rank 4 today!
There is no other reason to wait. Lo Jik will also feel more comfortable around Su Shou once he can escape from a Rank 5 Gu Master’s fury. They haven’t interacted in these three months. It’s primarily because Lo Jik refuses to leave the secret room nowadays. However, he already has the Sky Strength Gu. He only needs the Self—
It’s not a determined fist by a healthy Gu Worm in the shape of a palm-sized golden mirror.
Rank 4 Self-Strength Gu.
‘Well damn,’ Lo Jik cusses. ‘Why did I waste so much money to collect materials and whatnot?!’
He looked forward to refining the Self-Strength Gu, wondering how the experience would help him grow as a Gu Master!
<<<>>>
A B-grade Gu Master needs days to advance to Rank 4. The crystal wall of Rank 3 is incredibly resilient. It swiftly heals the scars and leaves little time for the Gu Masters to recover their essence.
An A-grade Gu Master has it slightly better. Dozens of days, if not weeks, can be condensed into a short week of cultivation after enough preparations. This is what Lo Jik’s condition should have been. However, add the Half Effort Gu to the mix.
Now, the Aperture Wall accepts twice the Essence! It sharply reduces the necessary time by half! Lo Jik only needs 3-4 Days!
But add the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus in the mix. This Rank 3 Grass Gu can release 30% of Peak Stage essence thrice daily! It shortens the time further.
However, a Gu Master uses, nurtures, and refines the Gu. Lo Jik discovered the use of Lotus Gu, which allows it to swiftly refine the essence of Primeval Stones and release it into the Aperture. It simply cuts the hours needed to recover Primeval Essence into minutes.
So?
Is it a wonder Lo Jik took 5 hours to advance to Rank 4 after all these benefits?
No.
Is it still shocking?
Yes. This news will probably move Shang Yan Fei enough to personally lead an investigation against Lo Jik!
Does Lo Jik’s cultivation end here?
No.
He uses the Yellow Gold Relics!
<<<>>>
Lo Jik earned several things, compelling him to extend the closed-door cultivation by another month. He couldn’t sell the materials despite gaining the crucial Gu. It would create suspicion since he will eventually display different Gu. How could he have gotten all these Gu without refining them? He can reveal he has these recipes from a Strength Path inheritance. It would also explain the Little Giant Gu. Lo Jik also left several hints about this to Wei Yang.
But having all these Gu with no hints will be problematic, so he accepts his losses.
His first task was to use his Upper-Stage Rank 4 Essence to recover the Dreamer Gu Worm’s Primeval Essence and let it dream about fighting through the use of recovered Rank 5 Desolate Howl Wolf Strength Gu. Lo Jik intends to do the same for Explosive Strength Gu, Little Giantess Gu, and the Refinement Flame Heart Gu.
With this task accomplished, Lo Jik refined the Elite Muscles Gu. He already used the Thicker Skin Gu for a month, waiting to reach Rank 4 to refine Elite Muscles and use it due to the Primeval Essence consumption.
Golden Blood Gu is another reason Lo Jik prioritized the Elite Muscles Gu. He can use the Rank 4 Golden Blood Gu after completing Elite Muscles and Thicker Skin Gu. But Lo Jik doesn’t have a clue about the Mind-Body-Focused Connection Gu.
There is another reason for Lo Jik using the materials he already collected—Money.
Lo Jik has entered a phase of strength where 900k+ is too little for divine opportunities that occasionally appear in Shang Clan in the Super Auctions. He has to start saving now. Of course, he must spend resources for growth. But he cannot get lured by ordinary gains.
Lo Jik resolves to ask Wei Yang’s assistance for the Mind-Body-Focused Connection Gu.
But that is still later. Lo Jik must first use Thicker Skin, Elite Muscles, and Golden Blood Gu.
Lo Jik also spends the last week of the month refining the Rank 4 Strength Qi Gu. He almost failed at the task.
Almost.
It was a fruitful month.
‘Now, to test some things.’
Lo Jik’s gaze glimmers. He had to drag this until now due to Bai Lin’s arrival.
<<<>>>
“I don’t wish to discourage you, Brother Lo Jik. However, flying is not so easy. I know you possess the Feathered Boots Gu. But it is more like walking on air than flying,” Wei Yang smilingly comments as he and Lo Jik occupy one of the Battle Stages.
Wei Yang observes Lo Jik. The latter has been inside closed-door cultivation for four months and rarely appeared for matches. In comparison, Bai Ning Bing displayed fierce talent and rose to the Third Inner City’s Battle Stage.
Lo Jik didn’t interact with others in the last four months, politely refusing Wei Yang’s and Xin Ci’s invitations. So, Wei Yang is curious about Lo Jik’s growth. After all, the Rank 3 Peak Stage aura isn’t contained. Something must have changed, Wei Yang assumes.
“I know, Brother Wei,” Lo Jik laughs. “How can humans fly? They aren’t born with wings. So, the first Flying Gu Masters trained themselves by studying birds. It’s similar to my archery. I needed years to learn. Fortunately, I had the talent to master it. However, flying is one of the best movement-type methods available. I’ve hit a bottleneck in my Strength Path and require a few rare materials. So, I decided to spend my free time learning how to fly.”
While Wei Yang appreciates Lo Jik’s eagerness to consume his time productively, he cannot help but feel amused.
Instead of rejecting the stubborn youth, Wei Yang shrugs.
“I won’t be the one to stop Brother Lo Jik from learning. How can I help you?”
“I know Brother Wei is busy. I hope Brother Wei checks my form and gives me some tips. I will practice most of the time alone.”
“Of course!” Wei Yang nods.
A pair of eagle wings materializes behind Lo Jik’s back. These are the Golden Eagle Wings.
Lo Jik flaps his wings and takes to the sky. Wei Yang instantly notices a few mistakes and points them out.
Lo Jik lands and flaps his wings again.
Wei Yang blinks in surprise. The issues he pointed out were…
Gone?!
Lo Jik then flies around as Wei Yang points more things out. Those mistakes would vanish the very next instant!
‘This is…’ Wei Yang’s heart shudders. His expression turns solemn, and he starts advising tips he experienced in his years of dealing with Flying Gu Masters. Wei Yang might be a Flying Gu Master. His flight didn’t experience wings. But he encountered several Flying Gu Masters who used wings.
Lo Jik absorbed this knowledge like a sponge, soaking it all in and revealing better control of the wings by the moment!
‘He,’ Wei Yang gulps. His eyes reveal a bright light. ‘He isn’t a master! But he is so adept after a few tips? It’s like he’s used wings for years! But how can that be the truth? Lo Jik isn’t even 20 yet. He’s only had 4 years to cultivate. Using the Feathered Boots is also not the same as flying. Lo Jik has only started purchasing Flying Gu in bulk. Was he experimenting? Such talent!’
‘He can become Southern Border’s next Flying Master after Hong Fei Yu, Lan Mei He, and Fei You Wang! Too bright! This lad is a talent given flesh and blood! He already has a profound grasp on Strength Path. If he incorporates Flying movement—’
Wei Yang smiles bitterly.
‘I would be no match for him once Lo Jik has a firm grasp of flying, too. He merely lacks the experience.’
Meanwhile, Lo Jik is ecstatic!
‘It really was True Meaning! The essence of Dreamer Gu is to share True Meaning! Hahahahaha!’
Lo Jik’s figure cuts through the air as the wind whistles by his ears! He folds his wings and tries performing a trick. However, he fails to time the opening of his wings and crash lands instead.
“Hahaha!” Wei Yang laughs. “You were too eager, Brother Lo Jik.”
Lo Jik climbs out of the ground with a grin.
“You’re right. Hehe. I never knew flying could be so fun. It’s all thanks to your advice, Brother Wei.”
Lo Jik is speaking the truth.
After a couple of words, Lo Jik and Wei Yang part ways as Lo Jik falls into deep thought.
‘The three aspects of using, nurturing, and refining the Gu are connected. The connection is called—Attainment. The Great Dao is present everywhere. It’s in the air we breathe and the shit we expel. Everything is comprised of the Great Dao through Dao Marks. We study the fragments and shards of the Great Dao through using the Gu. The more we experience these fragments, the more we learn about the peculiar Dao. That is why Gu Masters are encouraged to pick a path and stick to it.’
‘We also learn about the Dao through nurturing the Gu. Why does the Gu need food? To replenish the source of shards and fragments it carries within. When feeding the Gu, a Gu Master studies the food of the Gu—eventually, the Dao Marks within. It allows a Gu Master to learn more!’
‘When we refine the Gu, we fuse the Dao Marks of the materials, forming something new. All of this turns into feedback of experience and knowledge. When we become an expert, we gain intuition. It’s the same in my previous world. Musicians have an intuition for the tune, artists have an intuition for colors, and comedians have an intuition for every existing offensive joke.’
‘How do other Gu Masters refine and modify recipes? It’s through this intuition.’
‘How do other Gu Masters innovate a new Gu? Intuition!’
‘How do other Gu Masters replace the needed food with something more optimized? Intuition!’
‘This intuition comes from a realm of expertise and experience—Attainment.’
‘The Great Dao is like a magnificent book of life and its wonders. Studying the Gu allows the Gu Master to look through the pages. It’s the same as the modern sciences of my previous world. Why could Imaginative Strength invent recipes like the Particle Viewing and the Fickle Heart Strength Gu? Why did he have the wild ambitions of the Equation Gu? Because he had a profound attainment of Strength and Refinement Path!’
‘The Dreamer Gu allowed me to possess an Ordinary Attainment of a Gu Master who practiced a path for a decade! But I need the experience to fill the gaps. Wei Yang’s tips boosted my progress a great deal. It’s like I’ve been using a Flying Gu for years! It took about 16 Rank 3 Flying Gu to achieve this effect. Rank 3 Gu allows around 5 Dream Cycles. I already gave the Rank 5 Strength Gu to the Dreamer Gu a month ago.’
‘I received the same inspiration about the Strength Path yesterday after the 82nd Dream Cycle. So, I can get Ordinary Attainment in 80-something Dream Cycles! Too amazing! The Dreamer Gu has yet to fully exhaust the Rank 5 Strength Gu. The effect of Rank 5 Strength Gu is several times better than Rank 3!’
‘Of course, this inspiration isn’t enough. I needed Wei Yang’s tips to move through pitfalls that would otherwise take me hours to understand and overcome. But it’s just hours!’
The Dreamer Gu unintentionally became Lo Jik’s most treasured Gu!
Lo Jik would willingly rock Bai Ning Bing’s world if he didn’t become a man.
‘It’s clear. I will feed the rest of the Strength Gu to Dreamer Gu. This peace in the Shang Clan may be the best moment to rack in the most benefits!’
