Chapter 223: The Origin of Gui1 Gu
Fang Xiao's question hit the nail on the head. The two were the same kind of poisonous insect, but they showed different states. There must be some secret behind this.
The Luo family is the only one in control of this Gu, so they must be able to figure out what caused it.
The Guiyi Gu in Fang Xiao's hand naturally came from Luonan, but Luo Tianshan just glanced at it and pretended not to know and explained.
"This is related to the breeding of Guiyi Gu. Fellow Daoist Fang, please listen to me from the beginning."
Luo Tianshan needs help from Fang Xiao in overcoming the tribulation. How can a mere secret compare with his path? Moreover, there is a problem with the mother insect of the Guiyi Gu, and it cannot produce a new Guiyi Gu for the time being.
Therefore, I do not intend to hide any more on this matter and will start directly from its origin.
When the Luo family first discovered this Gu, they were still a third-rank Gu master family in the Qingmiao tribe.
He became very interested in this poisonous insect hidden in the Gu God Palace, which could neither hatch nor be taken away. After several attempts, he finally found the key.
There is an indispensable condition for the birth of the Guiyi Gu larvae, that is, it needs to be endowed with attributes. It seems that this is the last step in its development. Only in this way can it break out of the egg. Many insect eggs cannot obtain attributes and eventually die in the womb.
However, the process of imparting attributes requires an enormous amount of power. Even if multiple people inject it, it cannot be completed within the one year since the Gu God Palace opened.
The energy of a Gu Master is a weak point to begin with, not to mention that the Luo family only had two third-level Gu Masters at the time, so it was simply a fantasy to accomplish this.
Therefore, some people thought of the demon pill. It was the source of the demon beast's cultivation. A third-level demon pill was more than enough to replenish the needs of the Guiyi Gu at one time. In fact, as they expected, the first Guiyi Gu was born.
However, a single attribute obviously cannot fully unleash the potential of this Gu. Even if it is endowed with some rare attributes, its power is only comparable to that of other Gu worms with the same attributes.
If that's the case, exchanging one pill for one Gu, the price would be too high.
It was not until a person in the Rongshen realm appeared in the Luo family that this person seemed to have thought of some possibilities. He happened to have several demon pills of different properties lying around, so he conducted this bold experiment.
The result was naturally extremely gratifying. The Guiyi Gu, which contained multiple attributes, not only appeared successfully, but also created an invincible existence among the third-level for the Luo family. There was even a record of fighting against the Rongshen realm. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve the Rongshen realm in the end.
However, the Luo family also took this opportunity to become one of the few powerful clans in the Qingmiao tribe, which is why there are records of contact with cultivators.
He even unexpectedly obtained a golden elixir, and when there was a shortage of demon elixirs, he used it solely on the Guiyi Gu.
Although this Gu was still the same as a single-attribute Gu worm, its growth rate was extremely fast as if it had been turned on, and it even broke into the God Fusion Realm without any hindrance.
Naturally, the Luo family discovered the reason for such an obvious difference, which was the seal in the insect pill. The Guiyi Gu created by the golden pill would naturally produce a seal, but for the demon pill, no matter how it was operated, it would not appear.
The Luo family would go crazy if they were guaranteed to reach the God Melting Realm. From now on, the Golden Elixir would be their must-have.
At that time, there were still some golden elixirs left in the ancient continent, and they seized quite a few by trickery and force.
With the birth of a stable Rongshen, over time, he naturally took the position of the first clan of the Qingmiao tribe.
But as the golden elixir was used up one by one, it was difficult to replenish. They even thought about training their own cultivators. Unfortunately, without the foundation-building elixir, it was difficult to build a foundation, let alone form an elixir.
Therefore, by the time of Luo Tianshan's generation, the golden elixir was basically exhausted, with only three of Ice, Wind and Thunder left in stock.
Perhaps it was because the Luo family had never had anyone who could reach the state of hosting gods, and they wanted to make a last-ditch effort, so they used the golden elixir that could ensure that three people could merge into gods on one person.
This is also the reason why Luo Nan was stuck at the peak of the third level and unable to break through. His Guiyi Gu was conceived by the demon pill, which did not contain any magic seal.
"I never thought that such a strange poison could be born in this world. The mystery of fate is indeed beyond human prediction."
Fang Xiao was filled with admiration, and this also strengthened his determination to find this Gu.
"But what does this have to do with the Guiyi Gu mother insect? Why do you say that there will be no larvae this time?"
"This is all caused by greed."
Although using the golden elixir to produce the Guiyi Gu was the best choice, the Luo family at that time would still use the demon elixir to cultivate many of the strongest third-level Gu masters in order to enhance the family's strength.
However, the number of eggs that the Guiyi Gu mother worm could produce each time was so large that it could not satisfy their needs at all. They did not know when they started to use the method of inducing labor on the mother worm and began to demand excessively.
Fortunately, the mother insect and the poisonous insect are very different. They generally have a long lifespan, and the Guiyi poisonous insect mother has a very deep foundation, which is why it has survived to this day.
But how can long-term overdraft be without hidden dangers? The last time the Gu God Palace was opened to take out the Gu worms, a problem occurred.
The situation at that time was that the queen insect did not give birth to any eggs naturally, and even after that, even when the method of inducing labor was used, the queen insect did not respond at all.
In the end, he had no choice but to use several secret methods to induce labor at the same time, but even so, he could only barely give birth to one baby, which was the Guiyi Gu with the three attributes of ice, wind and thunder in his body, and there were no more after that.
By the time Luo Tianshan entered the Gu God Palace three hundred years ago, the mother insect had already died, and the method of inducing birth was completely ineffective.
With no other options left, he had to make a decision, which was to use the method of reproducing the queen insect.
Using the little remaining strength of the Guiyi Gu mother insect as a sacrifice, a new mother insect was forcibly born.
At this point, the previous generation of insect mother died, but she successfully gave birth to a new insect mother and an ordinary larva.
However, for the queen worm to start producing worms, it is necessary to wait until it has fully developed into an adult.
The growth process of different mother insects is completely different. Luo Tianshan doesn’t know how long it will take, but he guesses that in just three hundred years, the mother insect may not have even finished the larval stage, let alone produce Gu.
"I see. The queen insect hasn't grown to the stage of producing Gu yet. What a pity."
Only at this moment did Fang Xiao understand the current situation of Guiyi Gu, but judging from the situation, he would not be able to obtain this Gu.
"So it's not that I am unwilling to give it up, it's just that I can't afford it. I hope Fellow Daoist Fang can forgive me."
Fang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said in a feigned dissatisfaction, "Humph, just based on what you said, you want me to believe you and give up. I'm afraid it's not that easy."
Although what Luo Tianshan said before and after made sense, Fang Xiao still didn't believe it. To be more precise, he was unwilling to accept it. Since he was already here, he couldn't just turn around and leave after he gave him an explanation.
"Then fellow Daoist, how can I prove that what you said is true?"
"It's simple. Just follow me to the Gu God Palace and see the situation of the Guiyi Gu Queen with your own eyes. Then everything will become clear."
In fact, Fang Xiao had this plan when he learned that Guiyi Gu was in the Gu God Palace.
"Well, given Luo's current condition, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the Gu God Palace opens, and I'll have to survive this thunder tribulation. If I'm lucky enough to survive, it's fine for me to be with you, but if I unfortunately die, then I'm sorry I can't do anything about it."
Hearing this, Fang Xiao curled his lips and sneered. He didn't believe that Luo Tianshan would take the whereabouts of Guiyi Gu to the underworld. What would happen to the Luo family then? However, he did not point it out.
"So you are waiting for me here, trying to trick me into helping you overcome your calamity, with this information you don't know if it's true or not? You are trying to get something for nothing."
Fang Xiao's words clearly meant that there really was a way to overcome the tribulation.
He immediately said excitedly, "I don't know what it will take for Fellow Daoist Fang to help me. You can just tell me directly."
"At least you have to take out something to compensate me. Pay me back what you owe me first, and then I can help you overcome the calamity."
Fang Xiao has made up his mind. If you can't come up with something good, don't expect to get any help from him.
