"Well, I'll play it safe and use all of this to feed it. The Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu is already starving and extremely weak. If I delay further and not feed it, it will starve to death. As for the next feeding, I can only hope for the future."
Fang Yuan was of the demonic path and loved adventure, but he was not blindly adventurous.
He also had to measure the benefits and risks.
Holding a fluke mentality and thinking he was lucky, relying on probability and possibility, often led to being taught a harsh lesson by cruel reality, with bloody heads and bruised faces.
The Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu was inside Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
It was only the size of an adult's fist, resembling a tadpole, with a gray-white, shriveled body, lying motionless on the ground.
With a thought, Fang Yuan used the power of a gu to cut open the White Lotus Giant Silkworm Gu and brought the flesh and blood to the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu.
The Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu's body trembled slightly, but it didn't have the strength to crawl over and eat!
Fang Yuan had no choice but to place the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu onto the flesh.
The Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu stirred for a moment, then calmed down and silently sucked the blood from the flesh in small mouthfuls.
After a while, the blood was absorbed into its stomach, finally giving it a bit of strength. Its mouthparts opened wider, and it began to devour the tender flesh and blood of the White Lotus Giant Silkworm Gu.
It ate more and more, and its shriveled body, like an inflating balloon, gradually returned to plumpness.
A faint, dim luster also appeared on its gray-white body.
When all the White Lotus Giant Silkworm Gu were killed and their flesh and blood fed to the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu, it no longer appeared listless. It could now fly freely in the air.
It looked like a gray-white tadpole, with a round head like a half-inflated balloon. Its tail kept swinging behind its head, swimming slowly. Like an old person, weak and feeble.
It occasionally opened its mouth, which took up half of its head. Now it could open fully and make murmuring sounds.
Fang Yuan knew that it was unsatisfied and wanted to eat more. Unfortunately, the White Lotus Giant Silkworm Gu were all used up, with none left.
Although he couldn't satisfy the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan still breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu had temporarily escaped the embarrassing outcome of starving to death. Previously, Fang Yuan had planned to abandon it.
Now it was still alive, which could be considered a happy ending.
More importantly, it had bought valuable time. Future matters were unpredictable, but indeed full of possibilities.
The Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu was not yet fully fed, so Fang Yuan kept it and tried not to use it.
Having temporarily solved the problem of feeding the Soul-Purifying Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan relaxed but did not rest for a moment. Instead, he seized all the time and hurried to the underground cave.
In the underground cave, a small forest of lingzhi mushrooms grew.
The tallest king lingzhi was over two zhang high, directly pressing against the cave ceiling. Its fleshy leaves were like a giant umbrella, covering left and right.
When Fang Yuan arrived, he discovered the rank nine Wisdom Gu flying around this king lingzhi, like a playful child. Flapping its wings, it went up and down in the air. Occasionally, it hit the king lingzhi and was bounced away by its elastic body.
Fang Yuan's heart stirred. He already had many immortal gu, but compared to them, the rank nine Wisdom Gu seemed much more spirited and distinct.
Furthermore, recalling the "Ancestor's Biography," the Wisdom Gu, Strength Gu, and others could even converse with the Ancestor!
Of course, this might be a rhetorical exaggeration in the allegory.
However, Fang Yuan also knew that the Wisdom Gu could indeed communicate. Because it could communicate, he brought the Wisdom Gu away at the critical moment of the destruction of the Royal Court Blessed Land, and now he could benefit from its wisdom light.
Seeing Fang Yuan arrive, the Wisdom Gu stopped flying and settled on the trunk of the king lingzhi.
When Fang Yuan found a low, thick lingzhi and used it as a stool to sit down, the Wisdom Gu began to quietly emit a wisdom aura, enveloping Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan activated the Star Thought Gu.
The Star Thought Gu was a one-time consumable gu. As each Star Thought Gu was consumed, thoughts rose and fell in Fang Yuan's mind, continuously generated.
For a time, his vast mind lit up like stars, and after a while, it became like a summer night sky, with countless stars shining together, beautiful beyond compare.
Fang Yuan tried to deduce.
Instantly, the Star Thoughts in his mind became excited, like pouring a large basin of hot water into a pot.
Stars crossed the sky, brilliant and bright, colliding with each other and then bouncing apart.
Inspiration was infinite, changes were unparalleled, and various answers and complex processes were forged in an instant!
Fang Yuan then stopped, opened his eyes, and revealed a strong look of joy.
He had just tested the waters, and this wisdom inheritance had not disappointed him; in fact, it was even better than he had imagined.
"Eastern Longfan's wisdom inheritance is indeed very skilled at deduction. The Star Thoughts are extremely durable. Preliminary estimation suggests that one Star Thought can match three or four Evil Thoughts or Memory Thoughts." Fang Yuan silently compared in his mind.
