Chapter 22 Further Enhancement of Aptitude! Refining a Second-Tier Gu Insect
Haotian Sect, Council Hall.
Tang Xiao sat in the main seat, frowning as he looked at the elders below, and said:
"Our Haotian Sect suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although none of our inner disciples died, we also lost many outer disciples and menial disciples, and almost all of our affiliated sect disciples were wiped out."
"Although it didn't damage the foundation, it was a huge blow to the morale of the sect."
He was somewhat troubled, mainly because this incident was initiated by the surrounding spirit beasts.
Now that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Beast King has perished, it's impossible for him to lead a few Title Douluos to slaughter all the soul beasts in the Ancient Scar Hills and Fallen Feather Mountains.
Such a thankless task is not worthwhile for a sect.
Tang Xiao glanced at everyone, rubbing his temples. "Elders, do you have any plans?"
After obtaining the soul bone of the 70,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, he naturally wanted to refine it as soon as possible.
However, he has to handle both the morale issue and Tang San's return to the sect!
He simply didn't have time to refine the soul bone in the short term.
The crowd below frowned, unsure of what to say.
The Fifth Elder, with his volatile temper, stood up abruptly and said, "Damn it! I think I should lead the inner disciples into the Ancient Mark Hills, slaughter all the soul beasts inside, and vent their anger!"
Second Elder Tang Qingqing glared at Fifth Elder and sneered, "Are you stupid?"
"If we do something like this, won't the last vestiges of our Haotian Sect's reputation on the continent be completely ruined?"
"If spirit beasts launch a beast tide, we can retaliate appropriately. But if we commit such an act of slaughtering spirit beasts, we will definitely be opposed by spirit masters throughout the continent!"
"The entire continent is in turmoil right now. The Spirit Hall is like a raging tiger, ready to bite anyone it can get its hands on. What if we make a scene now and they take advantage of the situation?"
The Fifth Elder was speechless. He sat back down angrily and said shrug, "This won't work, that won't work, so what do you suggest we do?"
The Third Elder's eyes flickered, and he suggested:
"Sect Master, didn't we previously obtain a three-thousand-year-old external soul bone?"
"We can use this as a prize to establish a disciple competition."
"Let's take out a few more treasures from the treasury as prizes. First, it can divert the disciples' attention; second, treasures are tempting, and ranking them will further motivate them; third, it will also solve the sect leader's problem of distributing those external soul bones."
The Third Elder supports Tang Long as the sect's successor, and she already believes that Tang Long will definitely be the first place winner in this disciple competition!
Although Tang Hu is quite strong, he is still a bit inferior to Tang Long.
She thought to herself, "Fourthly, this can also enhance Tang Long's foundation!"
These words were well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and even the elders who supported Tang Hu could not find fault with them.
Seeing this, Tang Xiao had no choice but to nod in agreement.
However, he remained cautious and said vaguely, "In that case, all disciples with the surname Tang and disciples from affiliated sects can participate in this disciple assembly."
"In addition, this competition will be divided into three levels: servants, outer disciples, and inner disciples. I will take out the Millennium Holy Soul Liquid from the treasury as a reward for the top three in each level."
He looked down at the elders below and said, "I would appreciate your help with this matter."
……
Inside the cabin, Ye Ming summoned the Blood Skull Gu, which hovered above his head.
Having absorbed the blood of more than thirty of its brothers, the Blood Skull Gu now glows with a vibrant, glistening crimson.
It opened its mouth wide, and streams of fragrant blood poured over Ye Ming, instantly entering his acupoints.
After the blood spring entered the void, the original 55% of the Yuan Sea began to grow wildly!
The power brought by his more than thirty brothers instantly boosted his aptitude to 60%!
It's still rising!
64%, 66%...70%!
After his aptitude improved to 70%, the blood spring in his acupoint completely disappeared.
"Seventy percent! That's already at Grade B qualification!"
Ye Ming was overjoyed. With a second-grade aptitude, he already had the foundation to step into the fourth stage, and it was very likely that he could even glimpse the fifth stage!
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It still has to be the Blood Skull Gu! It still has to be the power from my brothers!"
With a slight rotation of the Heavenly Lotus within his body, his True Essence Sea was filled to seventy percent capacity.
This time, his soul power level did not increase despite the improvement in his aptitude. However, when he absorbed the three-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring, it gave him a large amount of soul power, which directly allowed his soul power level to break through to level twenty-seven!
It must be said that the gains from absorbing a spirit ring across time limits are undoubtedly enormous.
In other words, Ye Ming's body underwent several temperings, and with the Gu worms enhancing his power, he acquired this physique.
If any other Soul Master were to absorb the Soul Ring of a 3,000-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear at the second ring level, aside from a few overpowered individuals, they would only end up bursting from the strain.
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Ye Ming put away the Blood Skull Gu that was hanging above his head.
Inside the hollow cavity, a bunch of Gu worms frolicked, among which the spherical red iron relic Gu caught Ye Ming's attention.
He looked at the Crimson Iron Relic Gu, wondering whether he should use it directly to further enhance his cultivation.
After thinking about it, he decided to cancel the plan.
He has now advanced to the initial stage of the second rank, and can now combine second-rank Gu worms. With two wine worms, he can use them to combine and create a second-rank four-flavor wine worm.
The Four Flavors Wine Worm can temper true essence and rapidly advance one's minor cultivation level. Therefore, the Crimson Iron Relic Gu is most effective when used at the high-level of the second stage, reaching the peak of the second stage.
However, Ye Ming did not immediately begin training with the wine worm, but instead chose to train with other Gu worms first.
Training Gu worms together carries risks; if it fails, there is a certain probability that the Gu worms will be injured or even die.
Wine worms are extremely rare among first-stage Gu worms, and the cost of failure is too high.
Although he had the knowledge of "Complete Guide to Gu Master Applications from Level 1 to 5" in his mind, he still needed to practice more in actual operation.
Ye Ming checked his collection of first-tier Gu worms: two Moonlight Gu, two Small Light Gu, two Wine Gu, two Jade Skin Gu, one White Pig Gu, and one Black Pig Gu, for a total of ten Gu worms.
After thinking for a moment, he quickly simulated the most suitable training route for the Gu worms for his current situation.
Moonlight Gu and Jade Skin Gu can be combined to create a second-tier defensive Gu worm, Moon Rainbow Robe.
This is also the advancement path of the Five-Turn Treasure Moonlight King Gu, so Ye Ming prepared to use his first natal Gu, the Moonlight Gu, to train together.
Moonlight Gu plus two Small Light Gu can be combined to create a second-tier offensive Gu worm, Moonbeam Gu!
Wine Worm + Wine Worm + Four Flavors of Wine (Sweet, Sour, Bitter, and Spicy) can be combined to create a second-tier auxiliary Gu worm, the Four Flavors Wine Worm.
Jade Skin Gu and White Pig Gu can be combined to create a second-tier defensive Gu worm, White Jade Gu!
In this way, he only needs to train one Black Boar Gu, which is the most reasonable training route at present!
"Phew~"
Taking a deep breath, Ye Ming summoned the Moonlight Gu and the Jade Skin Gu, and then took out a thousand Yuan Stones from the system's storage space.
He mobilized his light red true essence and merged it into the two Gu worms, then gently brought the two Gu worms together.
Instantly, a milky-white ball of light appeared before him. Without hesitation, Ye Ming waved his hand and tossed in the spirit stones one by one.
As more Yuan Stones were added, the milky-white light cluster shone even brighter.
Ye Ming was nervous, staring intently at the ball of light, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of affecting the combined training of the two Gu worms.
"Buzz!!"
Just then, a series of buzzing sounds came from the milky white light, and then it began to tremble!
