Reverend Insanity: Insatiable

During my first life when I played gu online I used the gu available to me in the clan. It wasn't until I found a food path inheritance while I was rank 2 did I change my path. The gu worms there are vital for my future growth, but I'm not strong enough to go there yet. In my last life I had fused my string Gu into a new one and even advanced it into rank 2. So I had the strength to leave the safety of the clan, but right now I'm just a rank 1 initial stage gu master. With my only gu's being a string gu and steeped tea.

Although I know how to refine the gu worms in the inheritance I don't have the ingredients needed to refine them and even if if managed too I wouldn't have enough sets of the ingredients to ensure that I succeed in refining them. No it'd be best to increase my strength and fuse my string Gu into a new one before I try to get the food inheritance.

That's not all either I know of one other inheritance around the clan. The youtuber in my clan had found it and he only posted those videos once he had taken everything, but he only found it after graduating the clans school, but I'll have to save that one for last. Since the inheritance belonged to a demonic gu master, the YouTuber had nearly died twice while inheriting the inheritance. In the end he even had to get the assistance of his elder to complete it.

That demonic inheritance can raise my strength and I can even sell some things of it. So obtaining that inheritance is a must, so for now I'll be cultivating. Today I should be able to advance my primeval essence into the next stage. I spent the whole night advancing my primeval essence into the middle stage, before the morning I had succeed now my primeval essence is at middle stage and thanks to steep tea gu i can condense it into upper stage essence.

I'll have to wait a bit longer till I can accept the reward for being the first person to advance a small stage. My growth is way to fast to be explained with the excuse of having the support of an elder, but I don't have to worry about a classmate of mine beating me to it. Since everyone is a c grade talent not to mention everyone else is busy practicing with the string Gu. The first person to advance by a small stage took almost three months, ill just have to report my advancement just a bit after one month.

As I was about to go to sleep my family's servant knocked on the door

Servant[ sir Crim master Ron has called for you.]

Oh this didn't happen in my last life, what could my father possibly want. I went to the family's meeting room and inside was only my father.

Father[ Sit down]

He pointed to the chair across from him, so i sat down

Father[ I've heard that you have not been practicing with the string Gu in our courtyard. Are you only focusing on cultivating? You can not just cultivate you must also practice using your gu worm. One can not just pick up a sword and instantly become a master swordsman. It takes tremendous amount of training and dedication to become proficient at wielding a gu.]

Oh so this is what's its about, in my last life I did practice controlling my string Gu, but since I already mastered using it I haven't bothered. Since I don't want to waste my primeval essence on something so pointless

Crim[ father although I have not been seen practicing in the courtyard that does not mean I have not been practicing.]

Father[ ah and were exactly have you been training then if not the courtyard?]

Crim[ I have been practicing in my room this whole time.]

Father[ and how much control over the string Gu could you possibly have while training with no target.]

Crim[ I actually feel like I have gotten an excellent control over the string Gu. I'm sure I'll most likely win today's competition and win my second string Gu, as well as showing everyone the ability of the Don branch.]

Father[ if you can truly win today's contest then father would have to reward you as an apology.]

After our conversation I had to leave for class, every student seemed anxious about the today's contest. Even the teacher could see it thus he cut today's lessons short so that we get the competition over with.

About 12 feet away from everyone was a target board, everyone knew what they had to do. The teacher began to call students one by one to evaluate their performance, honestly they all did pretty well when it came to shooting the string at the target. They were however horrible when it came to whipping at the target board, most missed the target and those who did hit it were not able to hit it in the same place as the first time.

Teacher[ now Crim it's your turn,]

I walked up to the shooting area and took aim, and swoosh five long strands of string stabbed into the center of the target. I then pulled them out and began to whip them at the target board. Hitting the same place over and over again. Just as I was a few hits away from destroying the target the teacher stopped me.

Teacher[I've seen enough, the winner of today's competition is Crim Don Ito.]

All of the students looked sad and defeated, but none of them dared say anything. It was clear that they lost and even if they wanted to say it was thanks to me being part of an elders branch. They wouldn't dare say such things in front of the teacher.

The teacher then handed me another string Gu only this time it was already refined by our teacher, letting me refine it on my first go at it. With this I now had two string gu letting me shoot and control string from both my hands. Now I wonder what my father will reward me with, at the end of class I went straight home and showed my father. He was surprised but happy

Father[ now what would you like as a reward?]

Crim[ I would like to pick a material from our family's material room.]

Father[ materials? Wouldn't you want more primeval stones or even a new gu?]

Crim[ well I do want a new gu but I wish to fuse my string Gu into a new one. However I lack not only materials, and primeval stones but also another Gu worm. So I was hoping to get some material for a fusion, then I could save up primeval stones to buy a new gu and fuse them.]

Father[you want to fuse a gu?... I understand your point of view my son, but even if you managed too get enough materials to fuse a gu. It would take you years to get enough primeval stones to fuse a gu. So how about this if you become the first person in your class to advance a small stage then the gu, the materials, and the primeval stones will be provided by me, but their will be one more condition. If you fail at fusing a gu after three attempts, then you will not try again till after you graduate.]

How kind of him, this is the advantage of being in a elders branch. The amount of support you get is incredible. In my last life once school was almost over my parents gave me the materials and money to fuse my gu. However do to my inexperience I failed four times wasting hundreds of primeval stones. Only an elders branch or higher could afford such a price, but this time is different I lack no experience at fusing gu.

Crim[ thank you father, I will not let you down.]

Father [ that being said I still have to reward you, what would you like?]

Crim[ I would still like to take a look in the material room, maybe there's something there I could use.]

Father[ Alright then let's go]

We went to an underground room filled with materials that varied from vials of venom, crystals, to plants. It's a nice supply, our clan is always trying to find new fusion recipes for the string Gu. Let's see most of the materials here are of the poison path and earth path. I need something that has strong wood path ties, I began checking all the plants. Sadly most were poisonous or medicinal type, but as I got near the end of the room I found one plant that caught my eye.

It was about a dozen flowers that each were colored red,blue, and green. It almost looked like it was glowing, I don't remember ever seeing these here before. These flowers are triple glow orchid it's a flower that belongs to the light path and wood path. If I add this to the refinement of the wood shape gu I can use it as a replacement for heart of wood, and increase the success rate. I grabbed six of them and left the room

Father[ you are choosing those flowers? Even the clan doesn't know what they are let alone how to use them. Are you sure you want it?]

Crim[ Positive, after all its for the future]
