Zhang Xiaolong [3] decided to give Gu Jinglin a few qi recovery pills, and she swallowed them immediately after he told her the effects, which made her yin qi recover quite quickly. Gu Jinglin sat in front of Zhang Xiaolong [3] and asked a question. "What do you want from me?" "Teach me your Gu technique." Gu Jinglin frowned for a moment at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s request, but she couldn't refuse him with his slave mark in her soul, so she directly shared her clan technique with him. [Ding.] [You obtained the Gu Creation Technique.] Zhang Xiaolong [3] closed his eyes to read the technique, but he immediately frowned because the Gu creation technique could not be used by just anyone, and there was one condition that had to be met in order to learn it, which was a Gu's heart. Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his eyes and asked Gu Jinglin. "Where did you obtain the Gu's heart?" Did you get it from the demons of the netherworld realm?" "No." Gu Jinglin immediately told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the demon who gave the Gu's heart to her clan. "That person came to my ancestors and gave the first two Gu's hearts to them, but they didn't know for sure about his origins, and he claimed to be a Gu master. As for his purpose to teach them about the technique as well as the way to create the Gu's heart, my ancestors didn't explain it in detail, or rather they couldn't say anything about it, especially since he implanted a special Gu insect in them, and our Gu clan cultivates Gu insects since then." "Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned after hearing that, and he was certain that the person was a cultivator from the higher realms. However, he was a little puzzled about his purpose in coming to the Sky Jade Realm and teaching the Gu clan about Gu insects, especially since that realm was clearly a lower realm, so they should not be of any use to him. 'Do you think that person came here because of the ten-tailed fox, Mei?' [That's possible, master. Gu insects are still beasts, and the ten-tailed fox was one of the strongest beasts in the past, so that person probably wanted to obtain his legacy to improve them. So far, we have only found his soul, and it has merged with yours. There may still be his other legacies in this realm, but that's just my guess, especially since I haven't found anything else related to him, even though I've scanned it several times.] Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in agreement with Mei before asking Gu Jinglin again. "Do you still have a spare of the Gu's heart?" "No." Gu Jinglin answered with a shake of her head. "To create one Gu's heart takes several years, and not all human bodies can accommodate it. If their bodies are not compatible with it, then they will die immediately, and it will also be destroyed. In fact, many of my clan members died because of the process, and only a few managed to accommodate it." "That technique requires such a vicious process, huh?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] muttered to himself as he reconsidered learning the Gu technique, especially since he had so many people by his side who would be miserable if he died. Moreover, Mei didn't know whether the system could help him contain the Gu's heart, and there wasn't much information about Gu insects in the system, so he decided to ignore the technique for now. "Show me all your Gu insects." Gu Jinglin immediately took out several wooden boxes of different sizes, and there were various types of Gu insects inside, which piqued Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s curiosity. She then explained to him the abilities of each Gu insect, starting with tracking Gu, poison Gu, blood Gu, soul Gu, and so on. "Hmm?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] then took the last Gu insect, especially since it was different from the other ones, and its form was a black larva. "Is this the unkillable Gu insect?" "Yes." Gu Jinglin nodded to him. "We created this Gu insect using the souls of many living creatures, including humans and beasts. We call it the immortal golden Gu, especially since it will revive continuously even if you kill it again and again. It took too many sacrifices to develop, so we can only make two. One in my hand, and the other in my brother's hand." With his heavenly fox aura suppressing the larva, Zhang Xiaolong [3] faintly smiled as he observed it curled up and shaking in his palm. "Anyway, how can you store your Gu insects in your body?" "I find it difficult to explain to you, but they don't actually live inside my body; instead, they reside in a separate space within my body. That person calls it a Gu cage, and you can learn it from that technique." Gu Jinglin's answer made Zhang Xiaolong [3] let out a low sigh as he thought that Gu technique was too complicated to learn. "Aren't you going to take me out? They'll be moving soon, so it'll be too late for you if they set off for the demon cave." "Not now." Zhang Xiaolong [3] returned the immortal Gu to its box before standing up. "I only have one portal in the northern region, and your brother is still waiting for me there, so I will wait for him to leave first." "How did you know that my brother was waiting for you there?" Gu Jinglin asked in confusion because they were in his private space. "You are my slave now, but you are just a cannon fodder, so I won't tell you anything." Gu Jinglin looked annoyed by Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s answer, especially since he clearly intended to sacrifice her. "Moreover, the other cultivators from the other four regions are heading towards this region now, and some members of the natural races are following them. That's why I'm not worried about being late, especially since your brother and the others have to deal with them first, so I just need to wait for the right time to bring you out." Gu Jinglin was completely shocked after hearing that, especially about the members of the natural races. "So it's true, huh? You've known about our plans for a long time, and you deliberately stayed in this region just to keep an eye on us." "My cultivation is much lower than you guys, so I have to use my brain to fight you all, right? Oz the 1st wanted to ask him again, but Tharnon suddenly disappeared from his shoulder, and he immediately realized that it was his wife's doing. 'The diyu realm? What kind of realm is that? Sigh! I hope I can get my old memories back soon.' Oz the 1st then returned to his palace to check on the preparations of his demon subordinates, especially since failure was not an option for him or he would die at the hands of the cultivators. . . . Gu Changsheng, who was still waiting at Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hiding place, looked very angry, especially since he had been waiting for him for three days, but he still hadn't appeared. However, he suddenly received a voice transmission from Pang Xiuwen, who told him that all the main members of their clans had arrived, and they would soon move to the demon cave, so he asked him to return to the Pang Clan. "Damn it! That bastard really is like a rat, and he hides himself so neatly." Gu Changsheng reluctantly left the place, but he directly destroyed Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s hiding place. "Tch! I'll focus on getting rid of Chang Wuhen and the others first, and I'll take care of that bastard after that." After Gu Changsheng had been gone for some time, Zhang Xiaolong [3] brought Gu Jinglin back to the place, but he sent Xie Jingxian and Ba Shuxiang into the training space so they could train there together with the others. === [Ding.] [Daily Quest: Absorb 10,200 Qi.] [Reward: 102 green jewels.] === "What are you going to do now?" "What else?" Zhang Xiaolong [3] answered while grabbing Gu Jinglin's shoulder. They're going to the demon cave soon, so we should go there now to get ahead of them." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then took Gu Jinglin away using the nine cloud steps multiple times, and they arrived at the demon cave area about ten minutes later. He then met his two slaves who had been there since three days ago, causing the old woman to frown after seeing Pang Gui and Pang Hong, and she could see that their situation was worse than hers, especially since she had manipulated their minds. "Get ready, because those people are coming soon, and you two must assist the righteous cultivators in fighting them." "Yes, master." Pang Gui and Pang Hong immediately disappeared after Zhang Xiaolong [3] gave them another instruction. "Hey! I want you to go to that area." Gu Jinglin immediately looked in the direction Zhang Xiaolong [3] pointed. "I want you to use your poison Gu against them, and I will also do something to support you." Gu Jinglin just nodded and rushed towards that location, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his map to look for other cultivators. However, not all of them had arrived in that region, especially those from the southern region, particularly since the distance between the two regions was end to end.
