CHAPTER 248: CHAPTER 173: THE 4TH ERA: GU REFINING TECHNIQUE, DESTINY SPIRIT ABSORPTION GU!

"Be good, Yuan’Er, quickly drink the medicinal soup."

Mother Lu cradled Lu Yuan in one arm, holding a porcelain bowl in the other, carefully bringing it to his lips, afraid of spilling even a drop.

Master Pu Xuan is a highly esteemed monk of the Medicine Buddha Sect, and the prescriptions he concocts are priceless, unobtainable even with money!

Yet, as Lu Yuan looked at the viscous liquid in the bowl, he felt a violent churn in his stomach, almost vomiting on the spot.

NovelBin

Because shockingly, the medicinal liquid was teeming with innumerable tiny insects!

These insects were so minuscule, countless times smaller than a proton, invisible to the naked human eye, and even the divine thought of a cultivator couldn’t sense their presence.

If Lu Yuan didn’t possess the Eye of Truth, he would have unwittingly consumed them!

"Is this the grand supplement that High Monk Pu Xuan spoke of?"

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

An ordinary person’s spirit root is unopened, unable to absorb Heaven and Earth spiritual energy.

But these insects seemed to possess some mystical function, capable of transforming Heaven and Earth spiritual energy into blood qi power, thereby enhancing and transforming the body.

Of course.

Not everyone can consume this medicinal liquid.

If someone with a spirit root ingests the medicinal liquid, it will be as if adding wings to a tiger, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

But if a mortal rashly consumes it, they are bound to suffer backlash!

"From the current situation, these insects do not possess spiritual intelligence and seem more like the lowest consumables on the food chain."

Lu Yuan looked thoughtfully at the medicinal soup.

From previous simulations, it was known that, during ancient times, there existed a special group of cultivators known as Gu Cultivators.

Gu Cultivators excelled in gu cultivation, using gu, refining gu, and had achieved mastery in the use of gu insects.

Yet, for some unknown reason, these Gu Cultivators suddenly vanished without a trace, as if all marks of their existence were deliberately erased.

Having spent ten years plowing through loads of ancient texts and fragmented manuscripts, I deciphered a fragment of the truth.

From the current situation.

The aberrations of the Heavenly Dao and the emergence of these parasites are undoubtedly linked to these Gu Cultivators!

[You have a heaven-defying comprehension, feel inspired watching the spirit absorption insects, and successfully comprehend the Gu Refining Technique!]

As the notification sounded.

Numerous methods and key points of Gu Refining suddenly surged in Lu Yuan’s mind.

This knowledge and information seemed to open a door to a new world for him, exposing him to an entirely new cultivation system!

"Humans are the spirit of all things, and gu is the essence of Heaven and Earth. So this is the true cultivation method of this world..."

Lu Yuan’s eyes shone brightly, feeling as though he had an epiphany, a sense of enlightenment emerged in his heart!

Tearing the golden chain, unlocking the jade lock, today I finally understand myself!

When Lu Yuan looked at the medicinal soup again, he felt no resistance, drinking it down in one go, gulping it all down!

Is it just a bowl of insects?

Go for it, brothers, down it in one shot!

The next second.

Lu Yuan, following the information in his mind, immediately activated the Gu Refining Technique.

As soon as the insects entered his stomach and even before they could spread, they were instantly refined by innate qi, finally condensing into a peculiar gu insect!

That gu insect was as small as a needle and thread, emitting a crystalline glow, akin to a speck of light floating within Lu Yuan’s dantian.

Then.

This gu insect absorbed the polluted spiritual qi from Heaven and Earth, transforming it into a faint wisp of extremely thin energy, feeding it back to Lu Yuan.

"Hiss~"

"So refreshing!"

Lu Yuan felt as if catching life-saving rain after a long drought, finding such relief that every pore on his body almost stretched open.

Due to the aberration of the Heavenly Dao, everything in this world had been tainted by strange powers.

As a result, for the past half-month, he didn’t dare to eat, drink, or even breathe deeply.

However, the energy that this gu insect converted posed no future troubles or side effects, and Lu Yuan could absorb it confidently and boldly!

"The Gu Refining Technique is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, immediately downing three more large bowls of medicinal soup.

"Since these gu insects consume the polluted spiritual qi, let’s call it [Spirit Absorption Gu]."

When he felt the strands of pure energy in his body expanding continuously, a contented smile surfaced on his face.

"He ate it, he ate it! Master Pu Xuan’s skills are indeed superb, finally Yuan’Er is willing to eat something!"

Father Lu and Mother Lu cried tears of joy, overwhelmed with happiness.

And in the subsequent three days.

Master Pu Xuan provided free medical consultations for the villagers in the nearby villages, never refusing anyone who sought help.

For a time.

Master Pu Xuan’s fame spread far and wide, celebrated by countless villagers as a divine monk.

Moreover, Mother Lu, while holding Lu Yuan, gossiped with other village women.

She learned from the villagers that Master Pu Xuan, besides his superb medical skills, had unfathomable cultivation, being a genuine core formation strong person.

Especially every time Lu Yuan approached Master Pu Xuan, the Spirit Absorption Gu in his dantian trembled uncontrollably, conveying a fear that came from the depths of the soul.

It was as if the Spirit Absorption Gu found Master Pu Xuan to be something extremely terrifying!

This made Lu Yuan wary of him and increasingly cautious not to reveal anything out of the ordinary.

Fortunately, Master Pu Xuan was merely passing through and would leave in a few days.

Three days later.

Mother Lu, carrying Lu Yuan, joined the entire village in seeing Master Pu Xuan off.

As they watched Master Pu Xuan’s figure recede into the distance, many villagers gazed with respect and longing.

Seeing him almost out of sight, several hundred meters away, Lu Yuan subtly lifted his eyes and used the Eye of Truth to take a fleeting glance at his departing figure.
