The storage bag was filled with an abundance of treasures, diverse in variety.
Without detailing every valuable item, Long Xuan’s focus imdiately shifted to the treasures most useful to him.
Inside were dozens of massive burlap sacks, each marked with the words "Silver Soil".
Upon seeing the words "Silver Soil," his spirits lifted, and his eyes lit up with excitent.
Silver Soil was a rare, peak-grade spiritual soil in this world, sothing he had only heard of before.
Due to the scarcity of regional materials and his limited perspective, he had previously managed to create only 'high-grade spiritual soil', nad Pure Land, which had left him sowhat regretful.
Now, with the famous Silver Soil in his possession, he could easily decipher its recipe using his Eye of Heavenly Secret. This breakthrough might even inspire him to create an even more powerful peak-grade spiritual soil.
Peak-grade spiritual soil could accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs by four tis or even more.
Beyond the benefit of enhanced herb growth, feeding this peak-grade soil to his Earth Master Gu would allow it to undergo a direct Evolution.
Although the Earth Master Gu was rely a low-grade Gu insect, it was highly practical. It excelled at digging caves, and Long Xuan had plans to nurture it through successive evolutions.
Over the past year, he had successfully evolved several Gu insects.
For example, thanks to frequent trading, his Integrity Gu had absorbed a vast amount of integrity energy and completed its evolution.
However, the evolution of the Integrity Gu didn’t yield significant new benefits. This Gu disliked dishonest people and would devour anyone who lied in its presence in a fit of rage.
After its evolution, the Integrity Gu could consu even stronger beings, further enhancing its binding effect on its host.
Despite these characteristics, the Integrity Gu’s combat strength was tied directly to the amount of integrity energy it consud—more energy ant greater power.
rchants of the Qian Clan, who traded frequently, often possessed terrifyingly powerful Integrity Gus.
However, in comparison to the arsenal of fearso peak-grade Gu insects in Long Xuan’s possession, the Integrity Gu’s combat capabilities appeared underwhelming.
Thus, even after its transformation, it was of limited use to him.
Another Gu insect, the Image Recording Gu, had absorbed an Image Stone obtained through trade and completed its evolution.
As for BingBing and Chicken Bro, they had both advanced to the next level without requiring Long Xuan’s intervention.
anwhile, the Tears of the Moon, which he had been working on for the past year, was successfully formulated. However, the evolution of the Eye of Heavenly Secret would still take so more ti.
One of the year’s greatest accomplishnts was the successful developnt of the Ten Thousand Flower Pill. With the support of the Insect Armor Shop, he swiftly gathered the necessary materials and successfully refined the pill.
Thanks to the Ten Thousand Flower Pill, his cultivation speed over the past year had been astonishing, allowing him to stabilize his previously unstable realm completely.
The research and creation of the Ten Thousand Flower Pill did not take him the entire year. Familiarity with pharmacology and crafting his own pill recipe had significantly shortened the ti required. Most of the year had been dedicated to grinding through the last three techniques of the Five Elental Palms.
Currently, Long Xuan was operating under a concealed identity, having entirely abandoned the persona of Long Xuan. Naturally, his old signature skills were no longer usable.
This forced him to urgently create new spiritual techniques.
Eventually, he recalled the long-forgotten last three techniques of the Five Elental Palms.
The long-neglected Five Elental Palms were finally being continued.
The final three techniques were Raging Wave Palm, Vajra Palm, and Tathagata Palm.
Long Xuan’s five elental variant spiritual powers were characterized as Fire—Burning, Wood—Growth, Water—Density, tal—Durability, and Earth—Weight.
Considering that the characteristic of his mutated water attribute was density, he was inspired by the concept of water jet cutting from his previous life.
Never underestimate the power of water. In his previous world, water under extre compression and high-speed ejection could effortlessly slice through tal.
Thus, the concept behind his Raging Wave Palm was to unleash a highly compressed water blade capable of slicing his enemies in two.
Moreover, his mutated water spiritual power had already advanced to the level of Spirit Energy, making the Raging Wave Palm, when infused with Spirit Energy, unimaginably destructive.
Considering the characteristic of the mutated earth attribute being heavy, he imdiately thought of continuously increasing the weight of his palm, delivering a move akin to Mount Tai Crushing the Summit.
This is a palm technique that descends from the sky, as if a five-fingered mountain were crashing down. The weight, like a mountain, could directly smash the opponent into pulp.
Thus, he nad this move the Tathagata Palm.
The Tathagata Palm is driven by spiritual energy, and its power should not be underestimated. A single strike from it is sothing no opponent of the sa rank could possibly withstand.
Similarly, for the Vajra Palm, he considered the mutated tal attribute's characteristic of hardness. This palm possesses a hardness superior to tal, allowing him to seize blades with bare hands or even twist an opponent's sword or knife into pieces with sheer force.
This palm might not be stronger than the first two, but it’s absolutely perfect for making an impression. When an opponent sees their weapon twisted apart bare-handed, they are bound to be dumbfounded on the spot.
After perfecting these three palms, Long Xuan felt invincible.
He didn’t know how to grade spiritual techniques, but he was confident that the power of these three techniques was enough to be classified as Heaven-rank, far beyond what ordinary Gu practitioners could contend with.
Suddenly sensing soone approaching, Long Xuan quickly put away his storage bag and waited quietly for his next business deal.
“Hehe! Master Song’s business is booming this year. I’m truly envious.”
Master Wei’s boisterous voice ca from outside as he stepped through the door.
Upon seeing the visitor—none other than the unscrupulous Master Wei—Long Xuan frowned secretly. This man was truly despicable, and he really didn’t want to have much to do with such a person.
But a guest is still a guest; he couldn’t just throw him out. So he responded perfunctorily, “Master Wei, what brings you here today? Are you here to look at insect armor?”
Hearing this, Master Wei shook his head and smiled, “I’m a fan of refining small-scale Gu species, so I have no interest in large Gu species. Your business is sothing I really can’t support.”
“This ti, I’ve co to discuss another matter.”
“I’m planning to gather a group of Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators to jointly hunt a Grade-4 Spirit Beast. That’s why I’m here to invite you to form a team. The reward will be a King Breaking Pill.”
Master Wei got straight to the point and explained his intentions.
However, Long Xuan sneered inwardly. Trying to tempt him with a King Breaking Pill? He had clearly co to the wrong person. Long Xuan already had so many King Breaking Pills that he could treat them like candy.
Moreover, he wouldn’t dare accept a pill from Master Wei. At such a high level, the pills he refined were likely laced with his little insects. Whoever consud them would only end up in trouble.
Without revealing his inner thoughts, Long Xuan feigned a worried expression and asked, “A Grade-4 Spirit Beast is equivalent to a Gu King in strength. With its tough hide and sturdy fra, it might even surpass a Gu King.”
“With just a group of Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivators, can you really handle it? Why not directly hire a Gu King?”
Master Wei showed a bitter smile and replied, “Do you think I don’t want to? Gu Kings are not the kind of experts soone like , a mid-Spiritual Sea Gu cultivator, can easily hire.”
“Even if I could hire one, the price would be astronomical. Plus, at least two Gu Kings would be needed to safely take down a Grade-4 Spirit Beast. The expenses would be so outrageous that even if we succeeded, I wouldn’t necessarily profit.”
“Besides, trading between low-ranked and high-ranked practitioners is taboo. There isn’t a single good person in Sin City. How can I trust the character of the Gu Kings here? I’d probably end up being killed by the very Gu Kings I hired, not the Spirit Beast.”
“Although gathering a large number of Spiritual Sea realm Gu cultivators to hunt a Grade-4 Spirit Beast carries imnse risks, I’ve paid a steep price to make it worthwhile.”
“With a King Breaking Pill for each participant, isn’t that enough to entice those Gu cultivators to take the risk?”
“Risk and reward go hand in hand. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to take a chance for the King Breaking Pill.”
Master Wei looked at Long Xuan confidently. He simply couldn’t believe that any Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivator could resist the temptation of a King Breaking Pill—unless they had no desire to break through to the Gu King stage.
