Kapitel 20: Chapter 20 Wood Spirit Root Gu
Many questions await Zhou Ming's verification, and verification requires resources to be poured in.
If verification fails, he could lose all the hard-earned reward points, and even the primeval stones accumulated in the main world could be exhausted, leading to a double bankruptcy.
However, after some thought, Zhou Ming came up with a preliminary plan.
He never thought of giving up this great opportunity, even if the end result was not what he expected.
High returns naturally come with high risks, and Zhou Ming never lacked the courage to take a gamble, especially since he did not consider this to be a high-risk venture.
"Main God, I want to exchange for twenty Grassroot Gu!"
Zhou Ming exclaimed loudly.
[Exchange successful, 2000 reward points consumed.]
A beam of light fell, and within the beam of light, twenty Grassroot Gu floated in front of Zhou Ming.
The Gu obtained through the exchange at the Main God's location had no self-awareness, so Zhou Ming easily melted all twenty Grassroot Gu and stored them in his aperture.
After some thought, he exchanged for two Sword Qi Gu, which he also stored in his aperture.
Then, Zhou Ming began to build his own space.
During the recovery period after the explosion at the Chronos headquarters in the previous mission world, Yang Zhisheng and Yu Man told Zhou Ming a lot about the Main God's space.
Some of this information was provided by the Main God upon entering the space, such as how to construct the Main God's space; while some required the reincarnator to explore on their own, which provided Zhou Ming with great benefits, enabling him to avoid many detours and save a lot of reward points.
In an instant, in the empty Main God's space, buildings rose up one after another.
First, there was a two-story villa, followed by a storage room, tool room, research room, gym, small garden, swimming pool...
For that small garden, Zhou Ming spent another 100 reward points - soil, plants, water, microorganisms - the price of building a small ecological system.
Compared to other exchanges, this price was extremely reasonable.
After designing the buildings, it was time for infrastructure - electricity, water, furniture, appliances, household goods. Although these things could be generated for free, their use was strictly limited, such as not being able to take them out of the Main God's space, and extra charges were required for using the electricity here to charge one's modern devices.
Of course, there was no food among the free items, and food needed to be exchanged separately, with prices ranging from low to high and a wide variety of ingredients for reincarnators to choose from.
After completing all of this, Zhou Ming had a very comfortable living environment, of course, on the premise that he was the only one there.
Finally, Zhou Ming walked into the living room of the villa and took down a perpetual calendar clock from the wall.
He carefully examined the clock and set the time solemnly.
0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds!
He hung the perpetual calendar clock back on the wall and took out a mechanical watch from his pocket, adjusting the time to match the perpetual calendar clock. He wanted to calculate the time difference between the main god space and the Gu Realm.
This was a very important matter, directly affecting all of his future arrangements. Of course, he had consulted with the main god, but the main god had not given him any answers.
After completing all of this, Zhou Ming directly exited the main god space. The surrounding environment suddenly changed, and in the next moment, Zhou Ming was submerged in water.
"Damn it!"
Zhou Ming stood up abruptly, realizing that he had been taking a bath before entering the last mission world.
Dripping wet, he took off his wet clothes and used a towel to dry himself. "I miscalculated. Now I have to figure out how to dispose of these wet clothes."
Zhou Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly. After all, in the mission world, time passed by ten days in an instant, and his mind was focused on buying and selling Gu insects. He had even forgotten about this matter.
However, he quickly noticed another thing. "The water is cold, but it hasn't cooled completely yet. I left this world and came back again, and it's been about half an hour in between."
"I completed the world mission and returned to the main god space, where I stayed for about half an hour."
"Interesting, is the time spent in the mission world just an instant for the main world?"
He raised his wrist and saw that his watch was still ticking normally. Because he was worried that the laws of the world were different, he exchanged for a mechanical watch, which was driven by winding and gears, and it turned out to be useful.
"So..."
Zhou Ming was about to push open the window to look at the sky outside when suddenly a strange change occurred in his body.
A Gu insect was born naturally inside him!
"What?"
Zhou Ming's face was full of shock and surprise.
How could a Gu insect be born naturally inside his body?
He quickly immersed his mind into his aperture to check the newly appeared Gu insect. He saw that the Gu insect was a verdant color, shaped like a root, and was quietly floating in the bronze-colored true essence sea. It was a Gu insect that had been naturally refined by Zhou Ming.
At this moment, when Zhou Ming's mind touched the Gu insect, a piece of information was automatically transmitted to his consciousness.
[Wood Spirit Root Gu, Fourth Grade, can improve a Gu Master's aptitude, allowing a Grade C aptitude to upgrade to a Grade B aptitude.]
"How is this possible?"
Zhou Ming was even more shocked.
He was not shocked by the effect of this Gu insect. Although it was rare to have a Gu insect that could improve aptitude, he knew that there were many such Gu insects. For example, the Fifth Grade Wooden Boon Gu, which was also a wood-based Gu insect, could upgrade a Grade B aptitude to a Grade A aptitude, which was more effective than the Wood Spirit Root Gu.
He was shocked by two problems.
Firstly, he had directly obtained the information about this new Gu insect! Under normal circumstances, when Gu Masters obtained an unknown Gu insect that they couldn't find any information about, they could only activate the Gu insect themselves to understand its abilities. They would gradually understand the information of the Gu insect through repeated use and exploration.
-----------
Where can someone directly inject information into their consciousness like that! This is not like exchanging information with the main god.
Secondly, it is obvious that this gu worm is refined by fusing with the wood spirit root inside him. But how could the wood spirit root inexplicably transform itself into a gu?
The laws contained within the wood spirit root do not belong to this world!
"Wait a minute! Maybe it's because the wood spirit root doesn't belong to this world..."
Subconsciously, Zhou Ming looked up at the sky, although all he saw was the ceiling, his thoughts opened up at this moment and suddenly took off.
Gu worms are a direct manifestation of the unique laws of this world. Immortal Gu carries a complete set of laws, while mortal gu carries incomplete fragments of laws.
There are also precedents in the Gu world for accommodating foreign laws - as far as he knows, the Supreme Elder of the Lin family in the Western Desert is also a transmigrator like him, and he has foreign sword dao marks on him!
Laws converge into dao marks, and the combination of dao marks materializes into gu worms. The amount of certain dao marks on a Gu Master's body determines their Gu Master genre and cultivation strength; this is the special feature of this world.
So, what do foreign laws mean for this world?
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming was excited again and licked his lips uncontrollably.
"If what I suspect is true, in the future, I will create many new gu worms with my own hands..."
At this moment, Zhou Ming felt that his dream of a bright future became even more real.
After thinking about it, he did not directly use this wood spirit root gu to upgrade his aptitude to Grade B. He still had one thing to test.
However, tonight will be the end of it.
In order to prepare for tomorrow's actions and gains, Zhou Ming decisively chose to rest early and conserve his energy.
The next day.
After waking up, Zhou Ming went directly to the family's store.
"Zhou Ming, why did you come so early?"
There was only one young man behind the counter in the store, and when he saw Zhou Ming, he warmly greeted him.
This person is called Zhou Lu, also a rank 1 Gu Master, but he has already reached the peak of first level and is only one step away from rank 2.
"Well, I want to sell gu worms." Zhou Ming said and took out a Sword Qi Gu.
"You...," upon seeing the Sword Qi Gu, Zhou Lu couldn't help but be stunned. "You want to sell it?"
"Mm," Zhou Ming nodded. "I can barely afford to keep it anymore."
"Well, that's good," Zhou Lu grinned. "I've been saying all along that instead of keeping these gu and thinking of the past, it's better to exchange them for primeval stones to improve your cultivation. If your parents saw you do this, they would be happy."
Zhou Lu had previously suggested that Zhou Ming sell both the Sword Qi Gu and Water Armor Gu, but Zhou Ming had refused, citing that he didn't want to sell his parents' relics.
He didn't really have a deep emotional attachment to his parents in this life, but the situation hadn't reached the point where he had to sell both gu yet.
However, things were different now. This Sword Qi Gu was exchanged from the main god, and Zhou Ming had decided to accumulate as many primeval stones as possible. There was no gu on his body that he couldn't sell.
Saying that he couldn't afford to keep it was just an excuse to sell it.
Seeing that Zhou Ming had made his decision, Zhou Lu no longer wasted words and quickly collected the Sword Qi Gu. Soon after, he walked out with a small cloth bag in his hand.
"As we agreed before, 850 primeval stones," Zhou Lu handed the bag to Zhou Ming and said with a hint of envy in his tone. "These primeval stones are enough for you to cultivate to the second level."
"Thanks," Zhou Ming smiled calmly.
This Sword Qi Gu was not particularly rare. If sold outside, it would typically fetch 800 primeval stones without much room for negotiation.
After all, it was the family's store, and there was always some preferential treatment for clan members.
With the primeval stones in hand, Zhou Ming did not stay and left the clan alone to head towards a market near the clan.
The natural environment in the Northern Plains meant that most clans were not fixed in one place and had a high degree of mobility.
Sometimes, when several major tribes converged, they would spontaneously form a market to buy and sell various goods, which would then disperse as each tribe left.
However, there were also many tribes that stayed for long periods of time because of their favorable living environment, and around these tribes, fixed markets would form.
Zhou family had occupied Warm Pool Valley for over twenty years, and near the Zhou family, there were several other tribes such as the He family, the Miao family, the Yu family, and other tribes that occasionally passed by. As a result, several markets of varying sizes had formed.
The one Zhou Ming went to was the nearest market to Warm Pool Valley, which could be said to have been established under the protection of the Zhou family.
For Zhou family members, the market was relatively safe, and they didn't have to worry about being robbed or having their possessions forcibly taken.
