Immortal Gu Starlight!
Fang Yuan stood atop one of his Fang Yuan Stone Nests, and with a thought, activated the Starlight Immortal Gu.
Instantly, a massive pillar of starlight shot out, piercing straight into the stone nest.
Under Fang Yuan’s deliberate control, the starlight was gentle and harmless.
Within this stone nest, many Gu formations had already been arranged. As soon as the starlight pillar entered, it was divided into beams of blue starlight, channeled to the first room on each floor.
The Mao‑people in the first rooms deftly activated their Gu insects, absorbed the incoming starlight, and then processed it.
The semi‑finished products were immediately sent to the second rooms for further processing.
After passing through seven rooms in total, one after another, Star Thought Gu were finally refined.
These Star Thought Gu then flowed through pipes into the warehouse at the very bottom of the stone nest.
With one activation of starlight, Fang Yuan could keep the Mao‑people in this nest refining Gu for many days without rest!
After using the Starlight Immortal Gu, the starlight was abundant, and Fang Yuan no longer needed to purchase Starlight Gu in bulk first and then use them as the main material to refine Star Thought Gu. This not only saved a lot of trouble but also slightly reduced costs.
Although using the Starlight Immortal Gu required consuming immortal essence, purchasing a massive quantity of Starlight Gu also involved a cut taken by the fiction site 3w.ybdu, so the procurement cost was actually quite high.
The improved recipe for Star Thought Gu was also relatively safe. Gu refining is a high‑risk endeavor, no safer than combat, and many Mao‑people got injured or even lost their lives while refining Gu.
After unleashing the starlight, Fang Yuan did not leave but observed for a while.
After a long time, he nodded slightly, quite satisfied.
The current recipe for Star Thought Gu had been improved by him, reducing the loss of Mao‑people during refining significantly. Most importantly, the output of Star Thought Gu was no less than before.
“But improvement has reached its limit. Unless I raise my attainments in the Star Path or encounter a better recipe for Star Thought Gu.”
Fang Yuan knew well that he did not cultivate the Star Path. His level in the Star Path would likely stay at this level for life. Perhaps exploring dreams in the future could raise his Star Path attainment.
But who can say for sure about the future?
“Pity that in this stone nest, out of ten rooms, six are empty. If the Mao‑people were sufficient, the production of Star Thought Gu could be more than doubled!”
Fang Yuan lamented internally.
During this refining of the Transform Immortal Gu, he had consumed not only the Success Dao Marks obtained from the Undefeated Inheritance but also nearly all the immortal materials and immortal essence stones he had on hand.
This left Fang Yuan completely broke, so to speak.
Therefore, the problem of Mao‑people shortage could not be resolved for now.
Even if he could capture and hunt wild Mao‑people, he would have to spend time and effort training them before they could become qualified slaves to refine Gu for him.
Fang Yuan certainly did not know—how to train wild Mao‑people into qualified slaves.
The most convenient method was to purchase Mao‑people slaves from other Gu Immortals. Unfortunately, Fang Yuan currently had no spare funds.
Even the immortal essence he had was extremely scarce, only a dozen or so particles, which he had to use sparingly.
It could be said that Fang Yuan was in a very weakened state. Even though he had the Ten Thousand Self killing move, three new Star Path Gu insects, and several Star Path immortal‑level killing moves from Myriad Elephant Star Lord, without sufficient immortal essence, these moves could not be activated.
As they say, when you have grain, you don’t panic.
For Gu Immortals, the most important resources were immortal essence and immortal essence stones.
Thus, Fang Yuan’s top priority was to accumulate immortal essence.
Leaving this stone nest, Fang Yuan then went to inspect the other two stone nests.
Recently, these two stone nests had been under the charge of Hei Lou Lan.
She activated the Immortal Gu Strength, providing the countless Mao‑people in the stone nests with ample refining materials. After a large number of Air Sac Gu were refined, they were loaded with Courage Gu and sold to major powers on Central Continent and on the Bao Huang Heaven market.
In these two stone nests, basically every room had a Mao‑person sitting.
Refining Air Sac Gu was much more dangerous than refining Star Thought Gu. Why were the nests still full? Because Fang Yuan had transferred some Mao‑people from the third stone nest to fill these two.
Fang Yuan’s current focus was to increase the trade volume of Courage Gu.
During the Central Continent Gu Refining Convention, Fang Yuan made a bet with Feng Jin Huang and publicly signed an agreement. From now on, he was to sell a huge quantity of Courage Gu to Ling Yuan Zhai.
Thus the demand for Courage Gu was greater, forcing Fang Yuan to increase the output of Air Sac Gu.
In one of the stone nests, Fang Yuan met Hei Lou Lan.
