Xiong Huanxian sat on his bed, gazing at the valuable items he had just taken from the hidden spot in the backyard. He felt a mix of emotions, ranging from curiosity to excitement. The inheritance left by his father was not just a memory, but also a foundation for his future.
First, he turned his attention to the five Rank 1 Gu he had obtained from the first flower bud. The detailed explanations of each Gu were written in the two books he had received, and in them, there were thorough descriptions of the Gu he had collected.
The first one was Wind Blade Gu, which could create sharp wind blades that moved straight and fast, ideal for long-range attacks. Its attack speed was high, but the destructive power was limited.
Huanxian nodded in satisfaction. This Gu was perfect as his offensive Gu for long-range attacks, even though its destructive power was not particularly high.
The second one was Breeze Sense Gu, which helped detect changes in the surrounding wind, allowing the user to catch movements of enemies or objects within a certain range. This Gu was useful for reconnaissance, with a decent effect for a Rank 1 Gu.
The third was Mirage Amplifier Gu, which was the most interesting to him. This Gu, from the Illusion Path, resembled a transparent pearl with colorful liquid inside it. The liquid inside moved like small waves, creating a mirage effect. Its ability was to amplify the illusions of other Gu, making them clearer. Its effect worked best on Illusion Gu of the same Rank; for higher-ranked Gu, the effect was minimal.
The fourth was Perception Veil Gu, which appeared simple yet elegant, like a thin veil made of mist. When Huanxian touched it, the edges seemed to fade, almost merging with the surrounding air.
Its ability was to create simple illusions that affected the target's sight. It could alter the appearance of objects or create faint shadows to deceive enemies.
The fifth was Primeval Elder Gu, which had appeared in the original Reverend Insanity story. Its face resembled an old man with a mischievous smile. It seemed to contain many primeval stones, with the ability to store up to 250,000 primeval stones.
After inspecting the five Rank 1 Gu from the first flower bud, Xiong Huanxian moved on to check the three Rank 2 Gu he had obtained from the second flower bud. He examined each one carefully to continue learning about the details of the Gu.
The first was Wind Blade Gu Rank 2, an upgraded version of the Rank 1 Wind Blade Gu he had obtained earlier, with its power tripled.
The second was Gust Step Gu, which amazed Huanxian with its strength. It allowed the user to harness the wind to significantly increase their speed, making them 50% faster than usual.
The last one from the second flower bud was the most captivating: Soul Blossom Gu, which had immense potential. Its ability was to heal the soul of a Gu Master.
Soul Blossom Gu appeared as a stem with a dark red flower at its top. The flower emitted a calming, soul-healing fragrance. By inserting primeval essence, the flower would grow a new branch with another dark red flower that could be plucked. The effect was most potent for Gu Masters of the same rank or lower; for those of higher rank, the effect would be weaker.
It was recommended to inhale one flower per Gu Master for maximum effect.
Huanxian paused for a moment, contemplating the potential of this Gu. "Soul Blossom Gu... This seems to come from the Soul Path. It could be a healing and reproductive type of Gu, like the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass Gu in the original story. This Gu has extraordinary potential."
Huanxian started to think further. "If I can use it wisely, this could become a very valuable Gu for me, especially for generating primeval stones in the future. But... I have to be cautious. If the clan finds out, the elders might take it from me, and that would be dangerous for me."
He knew that selling Soul Blossom Gu could be very profitable, but also very risky. If it were discovered by anyone in the clan—friends or enemies—this Gu could become a threat to his safety. Huanxian would need to be extremely careful to keep this secret.

After inspecting the three Rank 2 Gu, Huanxian felt that the inheritance he had found was truly extraordinary. Despite the great risks, the potential power of these Gu was immense.
"This is truly incredible," he murmured. "I've received Gu with powers far beyond what I imagined. This is a rare opportunity... But I must remain cautious, especially with Soul Blossom Gu. If I can master it and use it carefully, my future could be very bright."
After thoroughly examining the three Rank 2 Gu, Xiong Huanxian moved on to the final Gu of Rank 3, located in the last flower bud. He felt a different aura, one that was softer. Huanxian carefully gazed at the Gu, intrigued by its appearance.
This Gu took the form of a small crystal shaped like a tetrahedron, about the size of two adult fingers, emitting a soft light that shifted in color from blue to green, and sometimes pink, creating the illusion of a small flame inside it. The surface was smooth but reflected light in an unusual way, like a mirror distorting the image.
Gifted Glow Gu had the ability to permanently increase the talent of a Gu Master's aperture by 20% without side effects.
When Huanxian held it, he felt a strange vibration coming from within the Gu. Its ability immediately caught his attention. Gifted Glow Gu didn't just enhance his potential, it also provided an incredible advantage to someone with a lower aperture talent, like himself.

Huanxian stared at the Gu in awe. "This... This is such a rare Gu. If I use it, my aperture talent will increase by 20%. With my current talent of only 57%, this will bring me to 77%—a 'B' grade talent."
He could feel the joy and anticipation building within him. Gifted Glow Gu was extremely important to him, as with his current talent at grade 'C', he knew that without increasing it, he would remain limited. But with Gifted Glow Gu, he could surpass that limitation and reach a higher level.
"This is an incredible opportunity," Huanxian thought, his excitement growing. "With a 'B' grade talent, I'll have much greater chances to survive and achieve my goals. Even though I can't reach 'A' grade talent, this is more than enough to take a huge step forward in my journey."

"How much do you think would be a reasonable price to sell flowers from the Soul Blossom Gu?"
