Chapter 3: The Spirit Spring Cleansing Aperture Opens, Taking Advantage of the System's Benefits
[Ding! Rewards being distributed! The Moon Orchid Sea Spirit Spring Cleansing event is now available!]
The moment the system's voice sounded in his mind, Ye Ming noticed that the scene before him had changed once again.
Before me stretched a sea of blue moonflowers, and in the center of this sea of flowers, a wide spring flowed slowly through, dividing the entire sea of moonflowers in two.
Moonflower, with its crescent-shaped petals displaying a delicate and elegant blue-pink hue, is a food source for many parasitic insects.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ming felt a surge of excitement.
This spiritual spring is the very path to enlightenment for Gu Masters!
As long as you withstand the pressure of the spiritual spring and take ten steps, you can use the spiritual spring and the Hope Gu hidden in the moon flower to open your aperture and embark on the path of Gu Master cultivation!
Ye Ming rolled up his trousers and stepped into the river. The water wasn't deep, just up to his calves.
A wave of pressure washed over him, almost forcing him out of the river.
"call!"
He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and slowly walked forward.
The path ahead resembled a thick swamp, requiring immense effort to take each step.
Just as he was struggling to move forward, a few pure white specks of light flew out from the sea of moonflowers on both sides. These specks of light flew up and directly merged into his body.
Ye Ming instantly felt the pressure lessen and took two or three more steps in one breath.
During this process, pure white light spots occasionally flew out from the sea of moonflowers and merged into his body.
This is a hope curse!
When faced with difficulties, entrust your heart to hope.
Under the pressure of the spiritual spring, these Hope Gu gathered in his abdomen, three inches below his navel, and coiled up into a ball.
"Twenty-four, twenty-five... twenty-seven."
When Ye Ming reached the twenty-seventh step, he had reached his limit.
"boom!"
He felt the ball of light filled with the Gu of Hope in his abdomen suddenly explode, and in an instant, he felt as if he had ascended to the top of the clouds, and his whole body felt limp.
He focused his mind and looked inward, discovering that an opening had appeared out of thin air below his navel.
Success!
"Tsk, just like the Venerable One, a third-grade aptitude."
Although he was only a third-grade aptitude, Ye Ming showed no sign of discouragement.
He felt the true energy slowly generating within his body's orifices and discovered that his strength had increased considerably!
Most importantly, at the moment the true essence was generated, the soul power within his body actually surged, breaking through in one fell swoop and advancing to the level of a tenth-level soul warrior.
This is truly an unexpected delight!
The void was incredibly mysterious; although it resided within Ye Ming's body, it did not share the same space as his internal organs. It seemed infinitely large, yet infinitely small.
In the world of Gu, some call it the Purple Mansion, some call it the Hua Pool, and many more call it the Primordial Sea Void Aperture.
The entire cavity was spherical, with white light flowing across its surface—a layer of light membrane. This light membrane was the very light that had condensed after the Hope Gu exploded.
Within the void lies the Yuan Sea. The seawater is smooth as a mirror, displaying an emerald green color, yet it is incredibly thick, with a bronze hue.
This is the bronze true essence possessed only by a first-stage Gu Master, also known as the bronze sea.
Every drop of seawater is true essence, representing the condensation of Ye Ming's vital energy and spirit.
The sea level is less than half the height of the opening, only 44%, which is also a limitation of the Class C qualification.
Without special opportunities, someone with a C-grade aptitude can only cultivate to the third stage at most in this lifetime.
Ye Ming neither confirmed nor denied this, saying that many Gu worms could improve one's aptitude.
The most famous one is the Blood Skull Gu, a fourth-rank Gu worm, which was once used by the Venerable Refiner!
Enhance your own abilities with the blood of your blood relatives!
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped into Ye Ming's mind: his current identity was that of a menial disciple of the Haotian Sect, but he was also a branch of the Haotian Sect.
The Haotian Sect is a typical example of a large sect that maintains its operation through blood ties.
In fact, the entire Haotian Sect is composed of his blood relatives.
If I were to use the Blood Skull Gu to absorb the entire sect, my aptitude would probably reach Grade A, wouldn't that be a piece of cake?
"What a coincidence, Tang San is actually Tang Yeming's cousin!"
Ye Ming smiled slightly and murmured softly, "The road ahead will be wonderful."
[Ding! The Refining Dao Venerable's role-playing level has reached 5%. Reward: One copy of "Complete Guide to Gu Master Applications (Levels 1-5)". System storage space unlocked.]
Hearing this sound, Ye Ming was delighted.
Unexpectedly, a simple sentence uttered on a whim perfectly matched the Venerable's sayings, which actually increased the actor's popularity.
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head slightly and read, "It's just a little bit of hardship."
After waiting for a while, the system did not respond at all.
Touching the tip of his nose, Ye Ming thought to himself, it seems that deliberately reciting the Venerable's quotes to increase his acting skills won't work.
Then check out the rewards!
He focused his mind slightly and sensed that a system storage space the size of a football field had been activated.
At that moment, a mysterious piece of information was injected into his mind—the "Complete Guide to the Application of Gu Masters from Level 1 to 5"!
The information was so vast that before Ye Ming could fully process it, he had a premonition that he had already completed his enlightenment and was about to leave this mysterious space!
Seeing the ground covered with moonflowers, he moved swiftly, frantically plucking up the moonflowers and throwing them into the system's storage space.
Moonflower is a favorite ingredient for many venomous insects!
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
In an instant, a pure white wisp of hope was stirred up.
The system's storage space cannot hold living creatures, so these Hope Gu could not be stored there.
Since there was no container, the spiritual spring beneath his feet merged directly into the ground after he stored it in the system's storage space.
Ye Ming simply took advantage of the opportunity to harvest the moonflowers.
His hands were so fast they were almost blurry as he frantically collected countless moon orchids into his system storage space.
"Buzz!!"
Ye Ming had just uprooted a bunch of moonflowers when the scene before him instantly changed, and he was back on the wooden bed in the hut.
Looking at the bunch of moonflowers he was holding in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
With these items, there's no need to worry about the cultivation ingredients for the Moonlight Gu, which is a reward from the system.
"System, claim the Moonlight Gu!"
[Ding! Reward issued.]
A crystal-clear, crescent-shaped moon-shaped Gu, resembling blue crystal, appeared in his hand.
It is very light, about the weight of a thin sheet of paper, and about the size of an ordinary jade pendant.
Ye Ming was even able to see the palm lines on his own hand through the Moonlight Gu.
This is the first-stage aggressive Gu worm, the Moonlight Gu!
The Moonlight Gu rewarded by the system did not require taming. Ye Ming's refining was very simple. With a tremor in the bronze sea within his acupoint, he directly refined the Moonlight Gu.
Moonlight Gu is not a natural Gu worm, but a Gu worm cultivated by the Gu Yue clan using secret methods. It is the Gu worm that is the symbol of the Gu Yue clan.
After being refined, the Moonlight Gu "whooshed" and landed directly on the center of Ye Ming's forehead, forming a light blue crescent moon mark.
To avoid drawing attention, Ye Ming quickly concealed the crescent moon mark beneath his skin.
The Moonlight Gu needs to be fed with Moon Orchid petals, four petals in total, twice a day.
Ye Ming looked at the moonflowers in the system space and was extremely satisfied.
"When I have time, I need to sort out those moonflowers with intact rhizomes and see if they can be transplanted to other places."
Unfortunately, the moon orchid can only maintain its original state when placed in the system's storage space and cannot continue to grow; otherwise, the system space could be used as a cultivation base.
After obtaining the Moonlight Gu, Ye Ming was itching to get his hands on it.
He looked at the wooden stool in the room, and with his mind he transferred the Moonlight Gu to his palm, and the true essence in his orifice instantly poured into the Moonlight Gu.
Ye Ming focused his mind and waved his hand. A palm-sized, dark blue moon blade flashed through the air and silently cleaved the wooden stool in two.
The broken edge is as smooth as a mirror!
It was quite powerful, but it directly consumed 10% of the 44% of the emerald green true essence in his bronze sea.
With his current cultivation level as a beginner Gu Master, four Moon Blade attacks would be enough to drain him dry!
"The limitations of a Class C qualification are still too great."
"However, killing a Soul Master without Soul Power protecting them is definitely no problem!"
Feeling the power of his own growth, he was more confident about his next plan!
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Ming began to receive the final reward: "Complete Guide to Gu Master Applications from Levels 1-5"!
Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and Gu (a type of poisonous insect) is the essence of heaven and earth.
The art of Gu (poisonous insects) emphasizes "nurturing," "using," and "refining"...
