Gu Zhenren did not give him anything else after that.
It seemed like he wanted to use the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm as an opportunity to polish himself.
Fang Yuan did not mind this.
If everything went smoothly, this growth would definitely die off at some point.
It was only a matter of time.
After leaving the side hall, Fang Yuan returned to his residence and started refining the Vegetation Three Stars Cave Gu that night.
This was not the first time he had subdued a Gu worm, so he was very familiar with the process.
Even though this was a pure Platinum grade Gu worm, in front of Fang Yuan’s seemingly endless spirit essence, it still resisted for several hours before giving up.
After all, it was only a support type Gu worm.
With this kind of house Gu that logistics Gu masters often used, as long as it was planted into the soil and watered with spirit essence, it could grow according to the Gu master’s wishes, turning into a tree house.
Three Stars Cave meant that it could be separated into three layers of space.
Next, it was time to choose the location.
Early in the morning, Fang Yuan began to move.
He opened up a hollow square-shaped cave in the mountain wall behind Wan Qian’s house.
Next, he buried the Vegetation Three Stars Cave Gu into the ground and drew out large amounts of liquid spirit essence from his acupoints, injecting it into the cave.
Boom!
Along with continuous sounds, the Gu worm took root and sprouted in the soil, growing rapidly.
The commotion disturbed many nearby disciples, causing them to come out to investigate.
“Who is this, making such a ruckus early in the morning?”
“Oh, daring to plant a house Gu behind Senior Wan’s courtyard, aren’t you afraid of getting beaten up?”
“That person looks familiar, it can’t be Fang Yuan, right?”
“It’s him, that’s fine, it’s normal for a couple to live together.”
The group of people looked at him for a while, before returning to their own courtyards.
The news of Wan Qian and Fang Yuan having a close relationship had spread all over the nearby mountains, so it was not uncommon knowledge.
Wan Qian herself did not come out. She was probably in closed door cultivation, so Fang Yuan did not disturb her.
The Vegetation Three Stars Cave Gu that was planted turned into a towering tree that was over ten meters tall in the blink of an eye.
Following Fang Yuan’s will, the thick tree trunk continued to extend and spiral, weaving into the shapes of stairs, balconies, fences and so on.
Not long after, a three story tree house with a small courtyard was formed.
The moment the cave was completely opened up, a dense Life Qi immediately spread out, stimulating the spirit essence in the small courtyard by several times.
[Ding, you are currently surrounded by dense spirit essence. All Gu worms’ cultivation efficiency has increased by 200%!]
“As expected of a gift from Master, it is indeed different from the others.”
Fang Yuan clicked his tongue in wonder. This efficiency increase was even higher than when he took medicinal pills after spending primeval stones. It was truly terrifying.
He estimated that after cultivating for a period of time, his few Gu worms that had not progressed for a long time would be able to break through.
Fang Yuan planned to head to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm after he leveled up, so he did not waste time and directly went in.
On the first day, the Moonlight Gu and the White Jade Gu which was the evolution of the Iron Skin Gu were on the verge of breaking through. Fang Yuan took the medicinal pills to help him, and successfully broke through, obtaining two forces to support him.
The Moonlight Gu’s charging ability had successfully evolved. The additional power of the cold moon had mutated into dark flame, which could burn the target’s spirit essence.
The White Jade Gu had obtained its third passive skill, [Stone Skin] , which could resist a certain degree of attack damage.
On the second day, the Bloodthirsty Gu had successfully advanced to tier three. Unfortunately, it did not obtain any skills, but its abilities had increased correspondingly.
On the third day, the Golden Silkworm Gu showed signs of breaking through, but it was still lacking something. Unfortunately, Fang Yuan did not have any poison, so he could not help it.
On the fourth day, the Sound Transmission Gu broke through consecutively to tier three, and its range of sound transmission increased several times. The Cloud Moon Gu absorbed a large amount of Cold Yin Qi, advancing by more than half.
On the fifth day, the True Sight Gu broke through to tier three, but did not obtain any skills. The Drunken Gu was close to breaking through and was about to reach tier four, but it was stuck at the last 0.1%.
Riding on the momentum from his five Gu worms that broke through, Fang Yuan successfully broke through to the second layer of the Enlightenment Realm.
After spending half a day to get used to the strength of his new layer, Fang Yuan let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
Right now, only the Hunter Swallowtail Butterfly Gu and Cloud Moon Gu were left in his acupoints. They had not reached rank three yet, but the rest were all very impressive, and could be considered worthy of his Enlightenment Realm cultivation.
Even though his strength had increased greatly, Fang Yuan was more concerned about the Drunken Gu, which could help him improve his physique all the time.
“Why can’t I cultivate it?”
Fang Yuan carefully checked the details on the interface, and found that it was not that the Drunken Gu was not cultivating, but that it had no effect.
Just like when he was at the peak of Foundation Establishment and about to break through to the Enlightenment Realm, it seemed to have encountered a bottleneck.
Unfortunately, the system did not give an explanation.
“Looks like I have to make another trip to the scripture depository.”
Just in time to return the books he borrowed earlier, Fang Yuan immediately packed his things and was on his way.
He arrived at his destination through the teleportation array.
After looking through, Fang Yuan suddenly understood.
“So I need to gather the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, intoxicating, five flavoured wine.”
He frowned slightly. The wine used to advance could be good or bad, as long as it met the conditions.
But the quality of the Gu wine produced by the advanced Drunken Gu would change.
Fang Yuan’s first goal was naturally to find good wine. Even the bare minimum must be outstanding.
However, this kind of wine was very hard to find, and it could only be found by chance.
“It seems this matter cannot be rushed, better deal with it when I have the chance.”
Fang Yuan had no choice. He could only go to the mission pavilion and put up a reward.
He did not lack primeval stones now. There were so many disciples in the Gu Immortal Sect, so maybe one or two lucky ones would be able to find what he wanted.
But just as he sent out the mission, an acquaintance walked in.
It was Zhang Wenbin.
He was surprised to see Fang Yuan here.
A few days ago, when he heard that Fang Yuan had moved to Wan Qian’s place, Zhang Wenbin was furious and smashed many things.
Now that he saw his enemy, he was naturally extremely jealous.
However, Fang Yuan’s status now was very different from before. Even if he was the Fourth Elder’s personal disciple, he could not do anything to Fang Yuan in public.
However, he was not a person who would sit and wait for death.
He was determined to get Wan Qian.
Zhang Wenbin slowly moved in front of Fang Yuan and stared at him with a cold gaze. The corners of his mouth slowly curled up. “Don’t be too proud. Even if you are the disciple of Gu Zhenren, I will give you a surprise.”
“I’ll wait for it.”
Fang Yuan answered expressionlessly.
Zhang Wenbin was not a fool.
He knew that he was no longer the same as before, yet he still dared to provoke him. He must have done something big.
However, he was not afraid of any challenge.
“Hmph.”
Zhang Wenbin flung his sleeves and walked to the counter. “Give me a territory mission.”
“Senior Zhang, what do you think about this demon beast clearing mission that is adjacent to the Gu Demon Sect?”
“Alright, I’ll take this one…”
Fang Yuan walked out by himself, not interested in the other party’s actions.
