Strength of Ten Jun Gu

In a Northern Plains market, Fang Yuan orders rank four Strength of Ten Jun Gu after hearing the shop price of thirty-six thousand primeval stones each. He then buys five of them. ^{ch. 442 ch. 443}

Appearance

It looks like a common iron weight and is heavy to carry. ^{ch. 443 ch. 454}

Form and rank

It is rank four. ^{ch. 442}

Effect

It is an expendable Gu. After primeval essence is poured in, it floats above the user’s head, sheds light over the body, and engraves strength path Dao marks; when spent, it breaks into pieces. ^{ch. 454 ch. 500} Each copy raises strength by ten jun. One jun is thirty jin, so ten jun is three hundred jin. ^{ch. 442 ch. 443 ch. 500}

The rank four Gu is weaker than rank four beast strength Gu, but the strength can be stacked until the body reaches its limit. Beast strength Gu of the same kind does not stack that way without other tools. ^{ch. 443}

Early use

While using his third copy, Fang Yuan’s body strength sits at twenty jun, six hundred jin. ^{ch. 443} After that third use he hits a bottleneck at his body’s limit; he must strengthen skeleton, skin, and tendons before he can hold more. ^{ch. 454} Of the five he bought, three are used and two remain; those three uses raised his strength by thirty jun and reached his body’s limit. ^{ch. 459}

Sixty jun strength
