Chapter 763

Fang Yuan mutters the name, unravel mystery Immortal Gu, as the bidding for the Red Fiend Divine Boat recipe climbs. It reaches auction level speed. Qin Bai Sheng, unwilling to offend the shouting powerhouses, only watches. Zombie Alliance’s leaders, Yin Liu Gong and Dragon Commander Ye Cha, are outbid and taunted by the seller. Yin Liu Gong accepts that the recipe is lost to them. He dreads how their leader will judge him when she returns. ^{ch. 763}

Fang Yuan takes stock of what he still holds: four Gu Immortal captives. They are Wu Hao, called Rushing Thunder Hand, his only rank seven, and three wood path Hua Hai immortals. He judges these poor trade bait for Bai Zu’s Unravel Mystery, since Bai Zu is an enslavement path Gu Immortal and captives outside his path hold little appeal to him. A direct trade will not work either: his strength path Immortal Gu holds no use for Bai Zu, and Fixed Immortal Travel and Connect Luck remain indispensable to him. Still he will not give up on Unravel Mystery, since a chance would be hard to recreate later. ^{ch. 763}

He recalls, from his previous life, a way to use Unravel Mystery as the core of a dream path immortal killer move. Fang Yuan knows of two dream path Immortal Gu in this life. One belongs to Feng Jin Huang, still a mortal girl, and the other to Lady Poison Scorpion, exploring a dream realm from within her blessed land. Both belong to women, as do the dream path Immortal Gu his memories place in the future, and since the prophecy of the three venerables names two male venerables and one female, Fang Yuan reasons the prophesied Great Dream Immortal Venerable may be that female. ^{ch. 763}

Fang Yuan cannot obtain an actual dream path Immortal Gu soon. He judges a killer move could substitute, as he once built myriad self from cleanse soul Immortal Gu and other mortal Gu. Obtaining Unravel Mystery would let him make up for a regret from his previous life, gather dream realm materials, refine mortal Gu recipes he already knows, and become a pioneer of dream exploration. He values the killer move at wisdom Gu’s level, above all-out effort Gu and below only Spring Autumn Cicada and Hu Immortal blessed land. An opportunity’s worth depends on timing, and this move’s value would collapse once dream path turns mainstream. ^{ch. 763}

Turning back to the auction, Fang Yuan finds Feng Jiu Ge, Old Ancestor Xue Hu, Yao Huang and Five Elements Grandmaster all dropped out. Feng Jiu Ge and Old Ancestor Xue Hu shook their foundations buying Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun, refinement path’s costs forced Yao Huang out, and Five Elements Grandmaster had stopped long before. The last bidders are Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, the Eastern Sea Gu Immortal, and three super forces: Yuan tribe, Murong tribe and Chanyu tribe. Chanyu tribe drops out soon after. Yuan tribe’s Yuan Rang Zun shouts that he would sell all his true martial carps but cannot make up his mind, since Yuan tribe already owns an Immortal Gu House. The Eastern Sea Gu Immortal urges Murong Jin Xiao to yield, promising compensation, since his own force lacks an Immortal Gu House. Murong Jin Xiao refuses, since Murong tribe’s Immortal Gu House itself lacks a core Immortal Gu, and he means to fight for it. ^{ch. 763}

The price reaches two Immortal Gu, far beyond the value of Fang Yuan’s four remaining captives. He notices that of the six Immortal Gu, only Murong tribe’s is wood path, an investigative Immortal Gu. The seller wants wood path resources. Fang Yuan’s own three wood path Hua Hai immortals could break the stalemate in his favor. He moves quickly, informing Qin Bai Sheng and Heavenly Lord Bai Zu that he holds no wood path Immortal Gu and might be able to break the three way deadlock. Bai Zu, moved, withdraws Unravel Mystery from his bid and offers the three Hua Hai immortals instead. The seller, after a moment’s hesitation, chooses his offer over the other two, which each add an Immortal Gu but only one of wood path. ^{ch. 763}

Bai Zu’s revised bid becomes a movement Immortal Gu plus three wood path immortal apertures the seller can swallow for a huge cultivation boost. Having already angered Zombie Alliance, the seller now prioritizes protecting himself. Bai Zu has no use for the three Hua Hai immortals, but the seller needs them badly. Resolved to part with Unravel Mystery, Bai Zu pays two Immortal Gu, sells to Fang Yuan, breaks the stalemate, and secures the Red Fiend Divine Boat recipe. Fang Yuan obtains Unravel Mystery Immortal Gu. He laughs heartily, calling it a mutual win for all three parties. ^{ch. 763}
