“This is true. In terms of creating Gu recipe, this person is an absolute genius. If our n truly ns tounch this project, then he is the only candidate.”


    Long Yuanshan continuously tapped his fingers on the table, and the room was filled with the sound of light tapping.


    Finally, his fingers stopped. It seemed as if he had made up his mind, and his gaze became firm as he spoke in a deep voice: “Since he is the most suitable candidate, if we miss this opportunity, the chances of failure for this n in the future will only increase.”


    “In that case, we must not hesitate. We must take the gamble, even if we fail, it doesn’t matter.”


    “If we don’t have enough resources, then we will borrow. Our n is about to control the majority of the Spirit Metal mines and has opened a trade route to the extreme westernnds. With Gu like the Suo Gu, a money-making machine, wealth will flow in continuously, and we will quickly recover.”


    “Go ask him now and see how confident he is in modifying the Dragonblood Battle Gu recipe.”


    “If he seeds, I will reward him with 200 million contribution points and give him a dragon tattoo!”


    Long Yuanshan mmed a thick Gu method book onto the table and then pushed it in front of Long Qian.


    Long Qian nodded, collected the Gu method, and pushed open the door to leave....


    Meanwhile, in a clean attic, Long Xuan was examining a little creature that wasn’t even as tall as his leg. He couldn’t get enough of it, constantly touching the ten des growing on it.


    To be honest, the creature’s natural des were surprisingly sharp. They could easily slice through mortal weapons, and the cuts were smooth.


    However, it was still far from the level of cutting hair with a breeze. After all, it was only a spiritual insect, not yet a Gu insect.


    Only after it consumed a vast number of spiritual insects and transformed into a Gu insect would its strength undergo a qualitative leap.


    However, the thought of turning it into a Gu insect gave Long Xuan a headache.


    Its Gu method was unique. You could fill it with any material, and the more materials you added, the stronger it would be. But the more materials you added, the lower the sess rate.


    Anyone else would likely agonize for a long time, unable to decide whether to pursue stability or strength, as this choice was extremely difficult.


    With Long Xuan’s ambition, though, he would fill it to the maximum. The more materials, the better. Whatever materials existed in this world, he would add them.


    After all, he had a cheat ability. As long as he prepared one set of materials, he would definitely seed in making the Gu.


    But in this world of the Gu realm, where spiritual energy was exhausted, most spiritual insects had gone extinct. Realizing his ambition was impossible.


    And he didn’t want to wait. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to let Xiao Yue(Little moon) consume hundreds of thousands of materials for the time being. Afte he go to the Spirit Realm, he would use some method to revert it to a spiritual insect and then refine it into a Gu insect with even more materials.


    He didn’t know if there was a way in this world to devolve a Gu insect back into a spiritual insect, but even if there wasn’t, he had the ability to create one himself.


    He had already figured it out: if you could imagine a power, no matter how strange or absurd, it could 100% be realized in this world. It all depended on how much you were willing to pay.


    But even letting it consume hundreds of thousands of materials for the time being was astronomical. Without revealing those things he couldn’t afford to expose, he couldn’t even afford it by selling his blood or kidneys.


    Tsk, tsk. A Gu method with hundreds of thousands of materials—just thinking about it was terrifying.


    Anyone who saw such a Gu recipe would be shocked. This wasn’t a Gu recipe; it was a book, a book with at least a million words. Just reading it would take a long time.


    Right now, he waspletely at a loss. How could he earn that much wealth in such a short time? This really gave him a huge headache.


    Why was this little thing so expensive? It might as well kill me now.


    Just as he was feeling overwhelmed, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.


    “Long Xuan, are you asleep?”


    Long Qian’s voice came from outside the door.


    It was a rhetorical question. The lights in the room were still on, so how could the person inside be asleep?


    “No, I’m not asleep. Pleasee in, Senior!”


    Long Xuan put Little moon away, sat upright at the table, and looked toward the door.


    Long Qian smiled as he pushed the door open and then walked over to sit across from Long Xuan.


    “Senior, visiting sote at night, may I ask what brings you here?” Long Xuan asked in confusion.


    “Hehe! It’ste now, so I’ll keep it brief. As the spiritual energy in the Gu realm continues to thin out, countless spiritual insect materials have gone extinct, making many of our n’s Gu methods unusable.”


    “So, our n is preparing tounch a project to rece all the extinct materials in the Dragonblood Battle Gu method with materials that still exist in this world.”


    “Modifying a Gu method is no easy task. It requires countless experiments and a staggering amount of materials to test and fail.”


    “The Dragonblood Battle Gu is one of our n’s most powerful unique Gu methods. If we sessfully rece the extinct materials, our n’s overallbat strength will make a qualitative leap. It’s not impossible that we might be the strongest n in the westernnds because of it.”


    “If you can sessfully rece the extinct materials in the Dragonblood Battle Gu, you will have made a great contribution to our n. The n will reward you with 200 million contribution points, and you’ll also receive a hidden dragon tattoo as an additional reward.”


    "Take a look at this Gu recipe. I''ve circled the extinct materials on it. See how confident you are in recing those marked materials."


    Long Qian stated his intention clearly and handed a Gu form to Long Xuan, his eyes filled with expectation.


    Long Xuan, somewhat bewildered, took the Gu recipe and quickly scanned it, unable to suppress the twitching of his lips.


    Goodness, the form contains over ten thousand materials. Is this really a Gu recipe? This looks more like an entire book!


    When he was in the Far West, he had never seen a Gu form with so many materials.


    Even all of his peak-grade Gu insectsbined had never required over ten thousand materials. It was downright terrifying.


    Without even thinking, just by looking at the number of materials, Long Xuan already knew that this Gu recipe was absolutely terrifying.


    A Gu recipe that could make the Long n of the Western Lands so desperate to modify it had to be incredibly powerful.


    They were willing to exhaust the entire n''s resources to alter this Gu recipe, showing just how strong it was and how important it was—worth going bankrupt for.


    "Ten thousand materials in a single Gu recipe!" Long Xuan eximed in shock.


    "Only ten thousand? Calm down! That''s considered few for our n."


    Long Qian, showing a proud smile, continued, "Our n has an even stronger exclusive Gu recipe called ''Dragon Transformation Gu,'' which requires a staggering one million different materials. Now that''s truly terrifying."


    "The Dragon Blood Battle Gu can transform one into a half-dragon, causing dragon spikes, a dragon tail, dragon scales, and other dragon traits to grow on the body."


    "Once a Long n Gu cultivator undergoes half-dragon transformation, they gain the strength and defense of a dragon. Theirbat power bes ridiculously exaggerated, allowing them to easily fight across ranks and ughter their peers as easily as killing chickens, even being able to take on a group of peers alone."


    "Because the Dragon Blood Battle Gu is so incredibly terrifying, it requires ten thousand materials to sessfully refine it."


    "But even the Dragon Blood Battle Gu is like a childpared to the Dragon Transformation Gu. The Dragon Blood Battle Gu can only achieve half-dragon transformation, whereas the Dragon Transformation Gu allows the Long n Gu cultivators to fully transform into a divine dragon, gainingbat power identical to a divine dragon, or even stronger."


    "Once a Long n Gu cultivator transforms into a dragon, forget about killing peers—within that realm, they are invincible. No matter how manye, they will die. No amount of ants can contend with a divine dragon. That is true invincibility. Because the Dragon Transformation Gu is so overpowered, it requires one million materials to limit it."


    Long Qian revealed a proud smile.


    "However, the Dragon Transformation Gu was eventually lost to history due to the extinction of many of its required materials, causing our n to decline and lose the glory of our ancestors."


    "If we say that the extinct materials for the Dragon Blood Battle Gu might still be receable, the Dragon Transformation Gu, however, can never be recreated in the Gu world."


    "Refining the Dragon Transformation Gu requires precious dragon materials, but divine dragons have been extinct for countless millennia."


    "Without divine dragons in this world, the Dragon Transformation Gu recipe is just waste paper, never to be reactivated."


    Long Qian showed a look of extreme regret.


    If the ancestral Gu recipe, including the full version of the Evil Dragon Emperor''s Eye, could be used again, the Long n would never be stuck in this tiny ce. They would have long ago ughtered their way across the entire Gu world.


    No matter which n, they would all kneel before the Long n Gu cultivators.


    Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn’t help but twitch his lips again. A Gu recipe with ten thousand materials isn’t even the limit? There’s actually another one with one million materials? That’s outrageous! What kind of monster came up with such a ridiculous Gu form?


    It’s absurd. No wonder it requires so many materials to limit it. No wonder the Long n would go to any lengths to revive the Dragon Blood Battle Gu form—its power is simply too absurd. The n can''t resist the temptation, willing to empty their coffers to restore the glory of the Dragon Blood Battle Gu.


    What on earth is the background of this Long n? How many more absurd exclusive Gu recipe do they have that I don’t know about?


    Luckily, even the heavens couldn’t tolerate this, allowing some of these overpowered Gu recipe'' materials to go extinct, preventing this n from using their most powerful exclusive Gu recipe. Otherwise, the world wouldn’t be able to contain this family.


    Who could ever fight against abination of Dragon Transformation Gu and the full version of the Evil Dragon Emperor''s Eye? Just thinking about it gave Long Xuan chills, and he shuddered. Such a terrifying existence was too outrageous—even he wouldn’t stand a chance, he thought, smacking his lips.


    But soon he became excited. It was like being handed a pillow when you''re drowsy.


    He had just been worrying about how to gather the hundreds of thousands of materials needed to refine the de Gu, and now, someone had obediently delivered them to him.


    His research on Gu recipe didn’t require any materials to be consumed, so wouldn’t all the materials the n sent for his experiments end up in his pocket?


    Researching Gu recipe consumes vast amounts of resources, so no matter how much he asked for, it would be justified.


    And since it’s for experimenting with Gu recipe, naturally, he would need to collect different types of Gu insects for continuous testing. It wouldn’t be excessive for him to ask for various types of Gu insects, right?


    In that case, he just had to sit still, and the n would gather all the materials needed for refining the de Gu for him.


    Long Xuan''s eyes gleamed with excitement. The more he thought about it, the more thrilled he became.


    It was so unbelievably simple. He couldn’t believe that the hundreds of thousands of materials that had been troubling him could be so easily collected, making him feel like he was dreaming. Was there really such a thing as a free lunch?


    His sess rate for modifying the Dragon Blood Battle Gu recipe was one hundred percent, and it would cost him nothing. Whatever amount of materials the n gave him, he’d take. How could he not seize this amazing opportunity? It would be foolish not to take advantage of it.


    This deal was too good to pass up. Only a fool wouldn’t take it.
