Chapter 760

Fang Yuan and Feng Jiu Ge complete their transaction. Feng Jiu Ge judges the cost worth it, since his sect’s rewards should cover it. He consoles himself that vaguely familiar face’s core Immortal Gu remain in his own hands. Fang Yuan refines and stores eat strength Immortal Gu. Alongside it comes an incomplete wisdom path inheritance holding recipes for memory thought Gu and reminiscence Immortal Gu, along with several mortal killer moves. He judges memory thought Gu well suited to sharpening his recollection of his previous life. ^{ch. 760}

He will not refine any Immortal Gu for now, given the cost and risk. His most urgent task is shedding his immortal zombie body. Eat strength Immortal Gu only offsets his stalled cultivation slightly and cannot compare to passing a tribulation. Tribulation is dangerous, but the dao marks it yields are extremely high, which is why Hei Lou Lan risks her life to pass them. ^{ch. 760}

Fang Yuan inspects vaguely familiar face, estimating it only fifty percent complete. He is satisfied, since he expected the seller to withhold the finished move. What he received does not hide the crucial core Immortal Gu, though those Gu stay in Spirit Affinity House’s possession. Between his transformation path attainment, wisdom Gu’s help, and the complete mortal move unfamiliar face he already holds, he judges, since any famous method can be studied and adapted, that he can remodel the killer move anyway. ^{ch. 760}

Qin Bai Sheng auctions off the last few Immortal Gu. Anticipation builds toward the auction’s true highlight: the essence of the luck path true inheritance. ^{ch. 760}

Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng quietly switch secret rooms through Qin Bai Sheng. Many others do the same, to hide what they won. Room switching is a loophole in this hastily held auction. Qin Bai Sheng, aware of it, stays helpless; he holds the auction only to protect himself. ^{ch. 760}

Qin Bai Sheng announces the true inheritance’s first item, recipes for luck inspection Gu, the one thing that can detect formless luck and a main foundation of that inheritance. The set covers mortal recipes rank one to five plus a remnant recipe for a rank seven luck inspection Immortal Gu. Heavenly Lord Bai Zu asks whether a luck inspection Immortal Gu is on offer. Qin Bai Sheng confirms he holds a rank six but will not sell it, guaranteeing everything else tied to luck inspection is on the block. ^{ch. 760}

Guo Rong objects to the refusal. Qin Bai Sheng stares him down: Guo Rong is only rank six against his own rank seven, hardly able to guarantee such a Gu’s safety. Guo Rong falls silent, having hoped in vain to lean on the crowd. ^{ch. 760}

Since the item is not an Immortal Gu, Qin Bai Sheng accepts any resource: essence stones, or a materials list less demanding than Fang Yuan’s earlier one. Fang Yuan guesses the materials are food for Immortal Gu, since Qin Bai Sheng does not specialize in Gu refinement. He bids a few times before being outbid. Mortal Gu cannot help an immortal, he reasons, and since Qin Bai Sheng already holds the one luck inspection Immortal Gu, perfecting the remnant recipe could never produce another. ^{ch. 760}

The contest narrows to large forces: Yao Huang, the Eastern Sea rank eight Gu Immortal, Feng Jiu Ge, and Yuan Rang Zun. Mortal luck inspection Gu would let them judge talent in a new way, beyond aptitude and disposition. Fortuitous encounter is hardest of all to measure. The price climbs so high that leaders nearly resort to Immortal Gu. Yao Huang pledges on his name to resell the recipe later if he wins it first, and his word ends the contest at once. ^{ch. 760}

The second item, Reverse Misfortune, is a rank seven luck path Immortal Gu that turns bad luck to good. Its reception is worlds apart from the similarly ranked Calamity Beckoning Gu. Rank seven and rank eight experts bid at once, since it needs no luck inspection Gu to use. The price soars past the auction’s previous record, set by Worldly Wave Trace and Delight in Water and Mountain, to take first place. The starting bid requires a metal path rank seven Immortal Gu, and Fang Yuan can only watch. ^{ch. 760}
