Chapter 60: Peach Blossom Gu!

 

As Lu Changsheng extracted the Peach Blossom Gu,

 

A butterfly with wings resembling two pink and white peach petals appeared out of thin air before him.

 

This Peach Blossom Gu was only the size of a thumb, emitting a faint pink brilliance, crystal-clear and tender.

 

Holding it in his hand, it was very soft and smooth, just like holding two peach petals, without much weight.

 

On its body, there was a faint and ethereal fragrance of peach blossoms, refreshing to the heart and mind.

 

Lu Changsheng looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in his hand and could clearly feel a familiar and mysterious connection between himself and it.

 

Just like when he obtained the Nine Nether Hound before.

 

There was no need to tame or subdue it by any means, the system directly helped in taming and subduing it.

 

And through the system, he learned that in order to control and manipulate this kind of Gu, it needed to be refined.

 

And the process of refinement was also very simple.

 

First, feed it with a drop of essence blood, then gradually refine the Gu with one's spiritual power and mental energy.

 

After understanding the basic usage of this Peach Blossom Gu, Lu Changsheng did not hesitate.

 

He directly squeezed out a drop of blood from his fingertip and fed it to the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

The Peach Blossom Gu had a sesame-sized mouthpart, and upon seeing this drop of blood, it slowly licked it.

 

After a moment, the Peach Blossom Gu finished consuming the essence blood.

 

Lu Changsheng then began to envelop the Peach Blossom Gu with his spiritual power, invading its body and will, refining it.

 

For many Gu cultivators, refining a Gu was a very dangerous thing.

 

Although Gu did not have much intelligence, they were still living beings, possessing the instinctive will to survive.

 

Faced with the refinement by cultivators, they would naturally resist instinctively.

 

Even some ferocious and domineering Gu would counterattack the one refining them.

 

However, this Peach Blossom Gu was obtained by Lu Changsheng from the system's lottery, and there was already a familiar connection between the two, so this problem naturally did not exist.

 

Under his spiritual power refinement, this Peach Blossom Gu not only did not resist at all,

 

But even actively cooperated, allowing Lu Changsheng's spiritual power to enter its body and be refined.

 

This allowed Lu Changsheng to not need to expend mental energy to suppress the will of the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

After an hour.

 

"Hoo!"

 

Lu Changsheng looked at the Peach Blossom Gu in his hand, part of its body now crystal-clear and translucent, and let out a long breath.

 

It wasn't that the refinement was complete.

 

But rather, his spiritual power was depleted and he needed to rest and recover his spiritual power.

"If this Peach Blossom Gu wasn't obtained from the system's lottery, with my current cultivation strength, I wouldn't be able to refine it at all, let alone successfully refine it."

 

"Perhaps I would even suffer a counterattack and be injured."

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head.

 

In this hour, he used all his spiritual power to refine the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

As a result, his spiritual power was exhausted, and he had only refined one-tenth of the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

It should be noted that the Peach Blossom Gu was cooperating throughout the entire process.

 

If the Peach Blossom Gu had resisted even slightly, he would have encountered difficulties in refining it.

 

"But this also shows that this Peach Blossom Gu is extraordinary, not something that ordinary Qi refining stage cultivators can come into contact with."

 

"Only someone like me, who has the system, can obtain things far beyond their own stage."

 

"Now that I have restored my spiritual power, let's see what changes there are after my spiritual root is promoted to the eighth grade."

 

Lu Changsheng began to sit in meditation and restore his spiritual power.

 

He also wanted to see what changes had occurred after his spiritual root was promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade.

 

An hour passed.

 

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

 

After the meditation and cultivation just now, he found that there was not much improvement in his cultivation speed after his ninth-grade spiritual root was promoted to the eighth grade.

 

It had only increased by about ten percent compared to before.

 

"The cultivation speed of an eighth-grade spiritual root is about thirty percent slower than that of a ninth-grade spiritual root."

 

"With the boost from Xiaosi and Xiaoshiqi, my spiritual root is already close to the eighth grade."

 

"So, although my spiritual root has been promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, the improvement is not significant."

 

"The cultivation speed has only increased by about ten percent, which also indicates that this child's spiritual root is also a lower-grade spiritual root, similar to Xiaoshiqi's, a seventh-grade or eighth-grade spiritual root."

 

Lu Changsheng murmured to himself.

 

He didn't feel disappointed.

 

After all, whether it was a ninth-grade spiritual root or an eighth-grade spiritual root, they were both lower-grade spiritual roots.

 

The difference between the two was not too great.

 

Therefore, it was not possible to have any obvious qualitative changes when the spiritual root was promoted from the ninth grade to the eighth grade.

 

However, for Lu Changsheng, the promotion of his spiritual root from the ninth grade to the eighth grade was still a milestone.

 

At least he had taken the first step.

 

The first step in the promotion of the spiritual root!

 

In the future, as more and more children with spiritual roots appeared, his spiritual root would eventually be promoted step by step, from a lower-grade spiritual root to a middle-grade or upper-grade spiritual root.

 

Even the legendary Earth Spirit Root or Heaven Spirit Root.

 

"Spiritual roots not only affect cultivation speed but also affect cultivation bottlenecks."

 

"After my ninth-grade spiritual root is promoted to the eighth grade, I wonder how much help it will be for me to break through the bottleneck of the fourth layer of Qi refining."

 

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think in his heart.

The grade of the spiritual root not only affected cultivation speed but also affected the bottlenecks in cultivation.

The better the spiritual root, the weaker the bottleneck.

 

For example, he is currently stuck at the bottleneck of the fourth level of Qi Refinement after breaking through the third level of Qi Refinement.

 

But if it were a medium-grade spiritual root, this bottleneck might not exist.

 

Lu Changsheng had read in a book before that spiritual roots of the level of Earth Spiritual Root and Heaven Spiritual Root do not have bottlenecks from Qi Refinement all the way to the Foundation Building stage.

 

They can smoothly cultivate all the way to the Golden Core stage.

 

And condense a high-grade Gold Core!

 

Lu Changsheng didn't think too much about it, as these things were still far away from him.

 

He got up from the study and went to the practice room to continue cultivating and restore his spiritual power.

 

The next day.

 

Lu Changsheng got up and went to the library of Qingzhu Villa.

 

He was looking for books on fortune and Gu Dao.

 

But in the Lu family, there were no books on fortune, and there were no detailed books on Gu Dao.

 

He only found some simple introductions to Gu worms in an ancient book.

 

For example, the quality of Gu worms is divided into six levels: Mortal Gu, Spiritual Gu, Profound Spiritual Gu, Earth Spiritual Gu, Heaven Spiritual Gu, and Immortal Gu.

 

Gu worms of the level of Immortal Gu are like the true spirit bloodline of demonic beasts, belonging to legends.

 

Even Gu worms like Earth Spiritual Gu and Heaven Spiritual Gu are rare and belong to legendary existences.

 

This also gave Lu Changsheng a rough understanding of the preciousness of the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

It should be similar to the Nine Nether Hound of the Heavenly Rank Bloodline.

 

Gu worms also undergo continuous transformation as they grow, divided into First Transformation, Second Transformation, Third Transformation, Fourth Transformation, and Fifth Transformation.

 

Corresponding to the Qi Refinement stage, Foundation Building stage, Golden Core stage, Nascent Soul stage, and Soul Formation stage of cultivators.

 

The Peach Blossom Gu in Lu Changsheng's hand naturally belonged to the First Transformation.

 

In the following days.

 

In addition to daily meditation and talisman making, Lu Changsheng also took time to refine the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

He wanted to quickly refine this Peach Blossom Gu and see its specific effects.

 

After all, he was quite looking forward to improving himself and his Peach Blossom Luck.

 

Half a month later.

 

Lu Changsheng finally completely refined the Peach Blossom Gu.

 

At this moment, he had a strange feeling towards the Peach Blossom Gu in front of him.

 

It was as if the Peach Blossom Gu had become a part of his body.

 

At the same time, he had a detailed understanding of this Peach Blossom Gu.

 

Peach Blossom Gu.

 

Feeds on Peach Blossom Luck!

The stronger the Peach Blossom Luck around the host, the faster the Peach Blossom Gu grows.

 

Every time the Peach Blossom Gu grows and transforms, it also makes the host's Peach Blossom Luck stronger and stronger.

 

However, the growth and transformation of the Peach Blossom Gu is limited by the influence of its owner.

 

If the owner has not broken through to the Foundation Building stage, then even if the Peach Blossom Gu consumes a lot of Peach Blossom Luck, it cannot advance to the Second Transformation.

 

Currently, the Peach Blossom Gu has three effects.

 

The first two are the ones mentioned in the system's explanation before.

 

It subtly improves the host's body, making the skin radiant and the temperament outstanding, making them more attractive to the opposite sex.

 

At the same time, it enhances the host's Peach Blossom Luck.

 

Both of these effects are passive.

 

The first one can gradually be seen.

 

The second one, Peach Blossom Luck, is something that cannot be seen or touched.

 

The third effect of the Peach Blossom Gu is an active effect.

 

By activating the Peach Blossom Gu, it can release a fragrance called the Five Elements Peach Blossom Mist.

 

This fragrance has a bewildering effect on people, animals, and plants.

 

The specific effect depends on the strength of the Gu worm.

 

For example, the Peach Blossom Gu is currently only a First Transformation Gu worm, so the power of the Five Elements Peach Blossom Mist is roughly equivalent to the Qi Refinement stage.
