From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Chapter 171 The Way of the Gu Master

"Originally, we should have taken action after confirming your identity as a cultivator. However, you are the benefactor of Qingshi Village after all, and we cannot repay kindness with hatred. Therefore, we will not take action, but we will still choose to report to the Qingmiao tribe. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Although Fang Xiao still had many questions that he had not found answers to, seeing that the two men were determined, he was unwilling to say anything more to him, so he stood up and bowed.

"Since both of you have already ordered me to leave, I will not stay any longer. I hope to see you again in the future, and I will not stand in a hostile position. Goodbye."

He had no intention of staying at all. He turned around and walked straight out of the inner room. Then he turned into a beam of light and rushed straight into the sky, disappearing in the area where Qingshi Village was located.

Sang Wu and Sang Mo also watched Fang Xiao leave completely.

"Brother, why don't you let me do it? No matter if they are dead or alive, it will be a great achievement if I report it to the Qingmiao tribe."

"Are you out of your mind? Just the speed at which he left just now is far beyond the reach of the two of us. It seems that what Sang Ma and the others said is not exaggerated at all. Our strength is not at the same level as his. If we anger him and cause our death, Qingshi Village, which has lost its third-level Gu Master, will probably be destroyed soon."

Speaking of this, Sang Wu couldn't help but shudder.

"Should we report this to the Qingmiao Department?"

"Report it? Why not? We have already made it clear to him. It is actually a good thing for him. Even if we don't report it, it will be discovered by others sooner or later. If they investigate it later, they may charge us with the crime of not reporting it."

"Big brother is really thoughtful."

Sang Mo then suddenly realized.

Sang Wu sighed, "I originally planned to use Sang Ma to win him over, or even keep him in Qingshi Village. It's a pity that I didn't expect that he was actually a cultivator."

……

As for Fang Xiao, after leaving Qingshi Village, he continued flying for a while, then found a cave and stopped temporarily.

He needs to think about the current problem again.

At first, he thought this was the Southern Wilderness, but when he heard that there were eight major tribes, countless branches, and the Way of Gu Masters, he immediately realized that this was not the Southern Wilderness.

Although the Southern Wilderness is home to the demon clan, it is also possible that there are some humans hiding there. With such a huge force, even if the demon clan ignores it, there will be news about it in the five regions and four seas.

This also made him feel that things were even more weird.

Now that the teleportation array has been destroyed, there is no hope of repairing it.

If Fang Xiao wants to return to the world of immortal cultivation that he is familiar with, he must start from this realm where there are many Gu Masters.

In order to understand the situation in the Gu Master world, it is naturally inevitable to come into contact with Gu Masters. This is also the reason why he had searched for human traces everywhere and went to Qingshi Village.

From the current perspective, this realm is divided into two major camps, the demon clan and the poison masters.

It is naturally impossible to communicate with the demon clan, and the Gu Masters actually have deep conflicts with the cultivators, let alone take the initiative to contact and communicate and obtain intelligence.

If Sang Wu had already reported this to the Qingmiao tribe, a Gu Master would probably have already started searching for him by now.

"It's not impossible to search the soul to check for information, but doing so might attract a fourth-level or even fifth-level Gu Master to take action."

He was frightened by the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators, and now he didn't have many tricks up his sleeve, so it was better for him to keep a low profile.

Unable to think of a solution for a moment, he took out a few scrolls from his storage bracelet, which were the ones he got from the first ruins.

"Let's first take a look at what is recorded in these scrolls. If they can be hidden in the secret compartment, they must be very important. Maybe there is a way to break the impasse."

Fang Xiao unfolded them one by one and began to read them carefully, word by word.

Although he had completely mastered every character in the Gu text, it still took him some time to figure out the length of the text as a whole.

Just like that, in this remote cave, he sometimes frowned, as if he could not understand the meaning, and sometimes his face was filled with joy, as if he had discovered something important.

After eight full days, Fang Xiao slowly closed the last scroll.

“I never thought that such an unremarkable ruin would yield such an unexpected reward.”

It turned out that the scrolls Fang Xiao obtained were actually the basic inheritance of the Gu Master.

Although it was only a basic inheritance, it also allowed him to better understand how this cultivation system started.

Among these basic inheritances, except for one that tells how to cope with poisonous insects with a mortal body and become a poison master, the rest record methods of cultivating various types of poisonous insects, and one even has subsequent advanced methods.

The specific division is that before becoming a Gu Master of the first stage, the Gu worm is still in the larval stage.

When one becomes a first-level Gu Master, the Gu worm will enter the growth stage.

After the growth stage, it is the maturity stage, which is also the sign of entering the second-level Gu Master.

As for how to become a third-level Gu Master, the mature Gu worms must take one step further and enter the evolutionary stage.

The scroll that Fang Xiao obtained, which recorded the method of evolution, was exactly a third-level Gu Master inheritance.

However, there is no information about the fourth-level Gu Master in these inheritances.

"It's really a new way. As expected, if you develop any of the 100 arts of cultivation, you can become independent. Maybe I can also refine a Gu worm and become a Gu Master to conceal my identity."

After Fang Xiao's careful research, he finally understood how they allowed mortals without spiritual roots to be compatible with poisonous insects, refine spiritual energy, and enter the realm of first-level poison masters.

All that is required is to plant a larval-stage poisonous insect bred using a special method into their bodies when they are still children.

As the child grows, it continues to provide nutrients to the baby, and the two also begin to become blood-related.

When the larvae enter the growth stage, they will be moved to the Dantian using secret methods, and will begin to absorb spiritual energy on their own.

Those who do not have spiritual roots can regard it as a substitute for spiritual roots, and the two can share the absorbed spiritual energy equally.

Because the existence of the poisonous insect is extremely special, when it enters the Dantian, it is equivalent to them having the foundation of the Great Dao in advance. Although they can practice Qi normally, they can no longer take the path of building the foundation, let alone the path of forming the Dan and Nascent Soul in the future.

Although the Gu worm needs to be cultivated from childhood, it also conflicts with Qi training.

But with his knowledge and experience at the Jindan stage, as well as the experience of taming insects from the Beast Taming Sect, combined with the method of becoming a Gu Master, it was not difficult for him to find a solution.

Even if it cannot last forever, it can still meet his current needs.

"However, the cultivation cycle of this Gu worm is a bit too long. If I cultivate it myself, it is really time-consuming and laborious. No wonder Sang Wu is unwilling to give me one. I am afraid that any one of them is considered a treasure. I have to find a way to get a batch from somewhere. Even if they have no potential, at least I can use them for some experiments."

Unconsciously, Fang Xiao turned his attention to Qingshi Village again.
