Chapter 1032

Lang Ya land spirit offers Fang Yuan one of more than ten methods against Spring Autumn Cicada, payable with sect contribution points. Ying Wu Xie forces Hei Lou Lan to submit in Central Continent, unknown to Fang Yuan. Fang Yuan learns he holds three hundred points, credited when he lent Dang Hun Mountain, Luo Po valley and wisdom Gu to the sect at a hundred each. Land spirit explains the sect still bears the cost of feeding and housing those assets, so lending scores less than contributing them outright. Contributing them outright could make Fang Yuan the sect’s first supreme elder, but only after he gives up his human body for a true hairy man’s. He refuses: variant humans stay ostracized even as immortals and never reach rank nine. Fang Yuan judges his three hundred points very precious and keeps them unspent rather than buy a counter to Spring Autumn Cicada. ^{ch. 1032}

Land spirit adds that sect missions would raise the total further: gathering Gu refinement materials, or sparring with hairy man Gu Immortals to build their battle strength. An earlier attack by Qin Bai Sheng and others turned land spirit from a human shaped white haired one into a black haired hairy man. His management of Lang Ya blessed land changes, and he wants hairy men to rule over humans and every other race. Before this only knowing how to refine Gu, his hairy man Gu Immortals never trained combat, and their battle strength counts for nothing. Fang Yuan has no time to hunt materials or drill the hairy men, and instead asks land spirit to buy and vet Southern Border Gu worms through treasure yellow heaven. Land spirit complies, sending batches through connecting heaven Gu into his sovereign immortal aperture. ^{ch. 1032}

The first batch is food path mortal Gu: now alive again, Fang Yuan must eat, and even Gu Immortals die without food path dao marks. It also brings clothing Gu, and Fang Yuan drops fire cape Gu and flying smoke Gu as too eye catching and unnecessary. He changes at once. Housing Gu arrives too, including three star cave, which turns into a tree house with space inside its trunk. ^{ch. 1032}

The second batch is moving perspective cup Gu and stargate Gu, already refined mortal Gu since land spirit held both recipes from Fang Yuan earlier. Extraordinarily bright for mortal Gu, their treasure light draws Gu Immortals who come asking, and land spirit turns them all away. Moving perspective cup Gu uses the Space Door to move objects and bypass the five regions’ regional walls, a superb mortal Gu. The third batch, mortal Gu from the sect’s storage, tests his sovereign immortal aperture. The fourth batch is the true objective: sword path Immortal Gu that Fang Yuan stole from immortal zombie Bo Qing. Before Yi Tian Mountain he had refined only change soul Immortal Gu, which he used there to turn the battle around. The remaining sword Gu, wisdom sword Gu at rank eight, sword escape Gu and sword eyebrows Gu at rank seven, and flying sword Gu also at rank seven, stayed unrefined in Hu Immortal blessed land rather than travel to Yi Tian Mountain with him. ^{ch. 1032}

Leaving them behind proves lucky. Carried to Yi Tian Mountain, they would have become Ying Wu Xie’s property instead. Land spirit sends only sword escape Immortal Gu and flying sword Gu, and Fang Yuan buys both instantly with a rock. The transaction’s treasure light runs hundreds of meters tall, and Gu Immortals across treasure yellow heaven notice at once. Word spreads that two rank seven Immortal Gu changed hands for a rock, and the market erupts in disbelief. Some conclude it is not a normal sale but a transfer of Gu worms, rare even in that market, where the fee follows the treasure light’s height. The whole of treasure yellow heaven falls into chaos. ^{ch. 1032}
