Thoughts of Trading Gu
Reverse Flow River drains heaven and earth qi fast inside Fang Yuan’s aperture, so he keeps grounding it to replenish qi before closing the entrance again. He tests his immortal zombie body against the current with Perseverance Immortal Gu. He hopes to break the soul path trap sealed inside it. ch. 1293
The river cannot touch soul path dao marks, since they are not Immortal Gu. Immortal Gu of the first eight ranks all fail inside the river while dao marks keep working, which is why rank eight Gu Immortals were strongest there. He had expected the failure. He reseals the body inside Heaven Sealing Mountain’s formation. ch. 1293
He cuts a leg from a dead nightmare demonic colt and melts it into liquid over three days. The remaining steps take only fifteen minutes and yield a hundred dream path mortal Gu. The efficiency is very high, unlike the dream realm’s costly methods. His cutting method still wastes some dao marks, he thinks. ch. 1293
Sixth Hair relays Purple Mountain True Monarch’s answer. Fang Yuan must cooperate before Attitude Gu changes hands. Shadow Sect now mentions an unnamed drawback tied to the sovereign immortal aperture. He decides he can only work the problem himself. He replies to keep negotiating, already expecting no Gu before he cooperates. ch. 1293
He starts designing a killer move to refine Attitude Gu himself. Reverse Flow Protection Seal had Pulling Water and Perseverance Immortal Gu as its two cores. Most of his other Immortal Gu do not suit this purpose. The thought of trading Gu takes root deeply in his mind. ch. 1293
He keeps Wisdom Sword and Years Flow Like Water for their rank, and Sword Eyebrows, Wave Sword and Sword Escape for their battle strength. But Woman’s Heart, Flying Bear Strength and Bone Spike are worth trading away. Woman’s Heart is poison path with little use, Flying Bear Strength is redundant beside ancient sword dragon transformation, and Bone Spike is completely irrelevant to his circumstances. Perceivable Dao can inspect dao marks, a mystical use though not a very useful one for him, and he leaves its value to be weighed later. Looking over what he holds, he judges Change Soul Immortal Gu tradeable as well. ch. 1293
High end trading sessions, very common during the five regions chaotic war, are rare today. He travels and stops in this pattern, refining dream path mortal Gu and deducing immortal killer moves to make Attitude Gu his own. He prepares to set off again. He notices signs of Gu Immortals fighting nearby. ch. 1293
