Chapter 2562: Chapter 942: One Strike Shatters Ten Thousand Arts, When the Hare Dies, the Fox Mourns (Part 3)
However, Luo Chen didn’t want to explain anything, his expression somewhat cold.
He shook his arm.
A stream of black light shot out and swiftly burrowed into the ground.
This local sect was so impolite, so he naturally had to exact some price.
“What was that?” Master Ming Lei glanced at the black light that disappeared into the ground, asking curiously.
Luo Chen didn’t answer, instead narrowing his eyes and posing a question back.
“What is the method of refining human Gu?”
Master Ming Lei suddenly stiffened.
…
The art of Gu in South Border is extremely versatile.
It’s not just about aiding cultivation or aiding in battle in a simple manner.
Centered around the word “Gu,” many related industries, schools, and skills have branched out.
Among them, the Gu Refiner is one of very high status.
It nearly matches the prestige of Luo Chen’s most glorious identity as a Pill Refiner.
The birthplace of Gu insects in South Border cannot be verified, but most are now found in the South Ocean.
The South Ocean is dangerous and mysterious beyond belief.
It houses many powerful Gu insects, yet also many weak young Gu.
Young Gu is weak; to cultivate it step by step to a state a cultivator can use, Gu Refiner’s involvement is needed.
Feeding various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures according to habits, accelerating growth.
There is even a method of merging, using several Gu insects to refine into a new powerful Gu insect.
And all these are fairly orthodox Gu refining methods of South Border.
But among them, there exists a non-traditional Gu refining method, even the mention of which invites disdain.
That is “Human Refining Gu,” using people full of spirituality to nurture young Gu, hastening maturity.
This refining method saves time and is extremely efficient. The drawback, though, is that usually the refined Gu insect comes with considerable risks.
Generally speaking, only outsider rogue cultivators or Demon Path evil cultivators would use the “Human Refining Gu” method.
And now, beside Luo Chen, there is such a rogue cultivator, a Demon Path evil cultivator!
“That Cheng Bai, he must’ve vanished like that!”
Sighing deeply, Luo Chen felt a sense of regret.
Cheng Bai may not have been high in realm, but he was perceptive and quick-witted.
Even if not taken as a disciple, he would be a handy subordinate.
Unfortunately, he was quietly refined by Master Ming Lei.
He could understand Master Ming Lei’s compelled actions under immense pressure from the Outer World back then.
But he felt more sorrow for the little person’s fate being beyond personal control.
Once upon a time, even True Master Shenyuan wanted to reverse refine his physical body into a Nascent Embryo Body.
He successfully resisted.
But Cheng Bai failed.
Now, under a shared experience, how could Luo Chen not lament Cheng Bai’s fate?
“Last night, Lantern Master tried to refine Master Ming Lei into a Thunder Lamp, did he ever reminisce about what he did to Cheng Bai?”
This thought flashed fleetingly as Luo Chen’s attention quickly shifted outside.
Whoosh!
A stream of black light rushed in.
Along with it came the Black King’s vexed voice.
“Poor sect, can’t squeeze anything useful out!”
Speaking, Black King presented a storage bag.
Luo Chen, initially with little expectation upon hearing those words, was taken aback upon scanning the storage bag with Divine Consciousness.
He glanced at Black King, speaking with a complex tone:
“Is your gift for either battle or treasure seeking?”
Black King paused, “I just randomly swept through, could there actually be a treasure I overlooked?”
Luo Chen said nothing, merely retrieving a jade box from the storage bag.
The box was engraved with ancient inscriptions.
