Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 760: Chapter 314: Spirit Beetle, Gentle Township, Hero Tomb_2

The True Foundation Establishment cultivators were socializing amongst themselves, while she had to stand guard outside the hall.

Yet Sima Huiniang could participate.

Sometimes, relationships couldn’t erase everything.

A gap in cultivating level naturally caused hesitation.

…

“Huiniang is here, take out your congratulatory gift quickly!”

Luo Chen seemed rather tipsy, a rare sensation for him.

They had already drunk a lot of Spirit Wine at the day’s Celebration and he hadn’t found the time to dispel the liquor.

In the evening, Chu Kui thought the Spirit Wine offered by the Luo Tian Creed wasn’t that great and he brought out two bottles of the Dou Family’s Taibai Liquor.

Mixing the two types of drinks had gotten them rather drunk.

Out of everyone there, Wang Yuan seemed to be in the best condition.

Seeing Sima Huiniang enter, Chu Kui laughed heartily.

“I said you need to present it personally when you meet the person, you are too eager.”

“Very well, let’s see if my gift is good enough!”

As his voice fell, he waved his hand.

A wax pastille the size of a longan appeared in his hand.

“What is this?” Sima Huiniang hurried over to the wine table and plopped down next to Luo Chen, her curious eyes fixated on the wax pastille.

Luo Chen and Wang Yuan also looked over with curiosity.

Seeing their puzzled expressions, Chu Kui chuckled.

“You wouldn’t know this!”

“This is a First Order Strange Bug, the Spirit Beetle!”

“A…bug?”

The three of them were taken aback.

“Indeed!”

Seeing their bewildered expressions, Chu Kui became even more pleased.

“Using Gu Bugs is most prevalent in the South Border. I got this bug when I killed a Rogue Cultivator and took it from his Storage Bag.”

Luo Chen curled his lip, “But it’s just a First Order Gu Bug, how useful can it be to Huiniang?”

“No no no!”

Chu Kui shook his head emphatically, pointing to the wax pastille in his hand:

“While this bug may not offer major offensive or defensive capabilities, its function is incredibly mysterious.”

“The Spirit Beetle is a duplication of the Ancient Mutual Life and Death Gu!”

Seeing that the three were still confused.

Chu Kui breathed a sigh of relief and had no choice but to explain the mysteries of the Mutual Life and Death Gu to the three novices.

This Gu was a Fifth Order Gu Worm!

It was born as a pair and could be used by all cultivators below the Divine Transformation Great Power Level.

Once the gu was released, the two cultivators would share life and death directly. If one died, the other would fall as well.

If one lived, the other could trigger the Gu in a life-threatening situation to ensure that part of their Divine Soul and Original Source would survive.

Truly embodying both living and dying together.

Furthermore!

Those with lower Levels could passively enjoy the cultivation efficiency of their high-Level counterparts.

Even if they only received the tiniest share, it could multiply their cultivation results.

It was a truly divine Gu!

Astonished, Luo Chen asked if a Qi Refinement Cultivator used this Gu with a Divine Transformation Cultivator, wouldn’t their cultivation speed skyrocket?

The answer was a scowl.

“No Divine Transformation Great Power would use this Gu with a Qi Refinement Cultivator. Wouldn’t they then be just as vulnerable as a Qi Refinement Cultivator?”

This retort left Luo Chen somewhat embarrassed.

He shifted the topic back to the Spirit Beetle.

“So does this knockoff also have similar effects?”

“Not quite. After all, the ability of the Mutual Life and Death Gu is divine, but it also has its drawbacks.” Chu Kui began to talk, gently peeling off the wax coating of the pastille, revealing two milky white bugs as thin as a hair.

“The function of the Spirit Beetle is to create a telepathic connection between the two cultivators.”

“It can both guide each other’s distance and sense each other’s life or death.”

“Oh, and another thing. This Gu has the ability to grow. If cultivated to the Third Order Level with Qi and blood, after one party dies, most of their cultivation results will be absorbed by the other.”

“Therefore, the Spirit Beetle is also known as the Demonic Mind Gu in the South Border.”

When he mentioned the Demonic Mind Gu, Chu Kui’s face turned unusually serious.

It was just too difficult to cultivate it to the Third Order.

If not, this Gu would have already swamped the Immortal Cultivation World.

As long as it was planted and nurtured to a sufficient level, then killing the affected person at the end would allow the one who initiated the Gu to instantly gain most of the other’s cultivation results.

Especially when breaking through cultivation levels, when sufficient explosive power is needed.

This advantage truly exemplifies the Path of Demon!

Chu Kui shook his head, sealed the wax coating with Spirit Qi, and handed it to Sima Huiniang.

“The bug is still young, and its unique abilities at the First and Second Order are already useful for our level.”

“It also serves as a trump card during critical moments.”

Sima Huiniang hesitated and looked at Luo Chen.

Seeing him nod lightly, she took the bug.

After delivering his gift and getting to know the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Luo Tian Creed and drinking his fill, Chu Kui didn’t stay much longer and left.

Only three people remained.

Wang Yuan directly took something out of his Storage Bag and gave it to Sima Huiniang as a Foundation Establishment congratulatory gift.

It was the Top Grade Magic Tool – Heaven and Earth Net that he had acquired from the hands of Foundation Establishment Shen Gongyi during the battle at the Dan Yuan Sect.

The tool had the effect of restraining enemies.

And it was really ingenious.

It was only because Wang Yuan didn’t depend too much on Spirit Qi, otherwise if it was an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, he probably would have been defeated by Shen Gongyi at that time.

After giving the gift, Wang Yuan didn’t stay either.

Only a man and a woman were left in the Luo Tian Grand Hall.

Playing with the two items in her hands, Sima Huiniang broke into a radiant smile.

Luo Chen leaned disheveled on the table and couldn’t help laughing, “Look at how happy you are. They’re just a Top Grade Magic Tool and a First Order Gu Bug.”

Sima Huiniang wrinkled her nose and huffed, “It’s more than that!”

“I received so many gifts today. Even if you don’t count the deals and collaborations we struck, the gifts alone covered the cost of the celebration.”
