A Wind Wolf was advancing through the thick, lush grass, its head low and its limbs almost flat against the ground.
Its target was a Pollen Rabbit.
The rabbit's ears were standing straight up, listening for any movement. Its head was buried in a huge flower, feeding on the pollen inside.
A clear breeze swept over the hill, where the grass was verdant and the flowers were in full bloom, carrying waves of their fragrance.
The Wind Wolf slowly crept closer, while the Pollen Rabbit remained completely unaware.
Suddenly, a pitch-black shadow rapidly swept across the ground.
Startled, the Pollen Rabbit raised its head. Even though there were no hawks in the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land, it was so frightened that it bolted away, narrowly escaping death and leaving the Wind Wolf empty-handed.
Fang Yuan, who was flying in mid-air, took in this scene.
Thoughts involuntarily arose in his mind: "Now that I'm well-off, and my own blessed land has become a dead aperture, it's better to focus on managing the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land. Since my trip to the Northern Plains, the beast population in the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land has plummeted to the bottom and is very sparse. I'm already directly selling Courage Gu; engaging in the Stone Man trade would just be gilding the lily."
"The Fox Immortal is a Beast Path Gu Immortal. The Fox Immortal's Blessed Land is a grassland terrain, best suited for raising fox packs. If I run the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land to be vibrant and thriving, the efficiency of producing Green Grape Immortal Essence will be higher. The Little Fox Immortal can use this Green Grape Immortal Essence to reduce the consumption of my own Immortal Essence. When I eventually revive and merge the Fox Immortal's Blessed Land, the benefits I reap will be even greater."
Shifting his thoughts, Fang Yuan examined the bat wings on his back.
Since successfully transplanting the bat wings onto his back, this was already his third test flight.
The compressed bat wings, even when fully spread, weren't even half the length of Fang Yuan's arm. They were completely yellowish-brown and looked rather small. They didn't have the grand appearance of his previous Lightweight False Bat Wings.
But Fang Yuan never cared about appearances; he valued practical utility.
The new Lightweight False Bat Wings gave Fang Yuan over double the speed boost while significantly improving flight endurance. After all, the previous bat wings were just a phantom shadow, but these current wings were real, physical flesh wings.
The membrane, fur, bones, and flesh of the bat wings were repeatedly compressed and refined by Fang Yuan. Scattered within the bat wings were many Gu worms.
These Gu, living parasitically within the Gu of the bat wings' flesh, blood, and skin, could be combined into the improved movement killer move, Lightweight False Bat Wings.
"No. It's no longer accurate to call this killer move 'Lightweight False Bat Wings'. It's better to name it 'Reality Returning Bat Wings'." Fang Yuan gave his improved movement killer move a new name.
In his heart, he was far more satisfied with this Reality Returning Bat Wings movement killer move than he was with the Lion's Mane Armor.
Had it been in Treasure Yellow Heaven, this movement killer move could be sold for as much as six Immortal Essence Stones!
The reason was that the Reality Returning Bat Wings had tremendous development potential. Having just one pair wasn't its limit. It could transplant a maximum of three pairs of bat wings. The owners of these three pairs of wings had to be at least wild beasts. Of course, ancient wild beasts or primeval wild beasts would be even better.
Assuming all three pairs of wild beast bat wings were successfully transplanted onto Fang Yuan's back, his speed would skyrocket to over three times its current value.
The Lightweight False Bat Wings were originally one of the most cost-effective and widely circulated movement killer moves during the chaotic war period of the Five Regions. Adding over three times the speed on that foundation would make it quite outstanding.
Although it still couldn't compare to movement Immortal Gu like Roaming the World or Soaring Clouds, if Fang Yuan ever encountered Fatty Ma again, she wouldn't be able to escape his pursuit with just her Light Sand Escape.
The wind howled in his ears. Fang Yuan flapped the wings on his back, and his figure sharply ascended.
After flying from mid-altitude to high altitude, Fang Yuan simply closed his eyes, quietly feeling the sensation of the air currents flowing over his bat wings.
His Immortal Zombie body couldn't feel any pain, and its sense of touch was almost zero. This was both an advantage and a disadvantage.
When Fang Yuan transplanted the bat wings, he nonetheless took great care to preserve the sense of pain and touch in the bat wing parts. Only in this way could he more clearly and realistically feel the feedback from every wing flap, the strength of the air currents, and the state of the bat wings.
Losing the sense of pain made one numb, allowing Fang Yuan to fight more ferociously.
But flying was another matter entirely.
Flying demanded fine manipulation. Given that Fang Yuan's skill in flying had reached the level of a quasi-grandmaster, only by restoring pain and touch could he truly and completely unleash his flying expertise.
If the bat wings were stiff, the sensation would be very rough. Especially in intense battles, when relying on the bat wings, subtle sensations could lead to exquisite reactions and adaptations, while a lack thereof would result in coarse and reckless moves.
"Enhanced mobility allows one to advance or retreat. After gathering three pairs of bat wings, the Reality Returning Bat Wings killer move can be considered excellent among mortal killer moves, falling just short of my Roaming the World Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan was a Strength Path Gu Immortal, having achieved a Strength Path Immortal Body. The Roaming the World Immortal Gu was based on Water Path laws. Using this Immortal Gu, Water Path and Strength Path were not perfectly harmonious, resulting in the drawback of mutual interference.
If a Fire Path Gu Immortal were to use the Roaming the World Immortal Gu, their speed would be even slower than Fang Yuan's.
The best user would be a Water Path Gu Immortal. Using the same Immortal Gu and consuming the same amount of Immortal Essence, their speed would be faster.
More importantly, the Reality Returning Bat Wings was a mortal killer move, offering much higher cost-performance compared to activating the Roaming the World Immortal Gu.
This was the wisdom of man.
Through the mutual combination of many mortal Gu, effects slightly inferior to Immortal Gu were formed.
Using Gu, raising Gu, and refining Gu were all profound arts.
