Chapter 272: Continuous Draws

The path of Gu techniques was far more powerful than Zhou Luo had imagined. Although it couldn’t rival the four major skills, it was still not to be underestimated.

Especially the refined Gu insects had very unique effects.

Like the Gu insect Zhou Luo had currently refined, even though it was only entry-level, under his control, it could heal a cultivator and treat some basic injuries and illnesses.

Compared to the healing effect of potions, its impact wasn’t as obvious, but it had the advantage of long-term use, while potions were only consumables.

Apart from healing-type Gu insects, there were also powerful ones capable of boosting cultivation, controlling living creatures, and possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.

The more advanced the Gu Master, the stronger the Gu insects they cultivated, integrating multiple abilities.

Legend even spoke of a type of Gu insect that could twist time and space, Bringing the Dead Back to Life, and more.

Although Zhou Luo was only at the entry level now, given time, he might genuinely become a renowned Gu Master.

Zhou Luo gazed at the little green Gu insect, his smile unwavering, and his mood exceptionally joyful.

"Yao Wu, I still need to thank you for your guidance," he said with a grin.

His research in Gu techniques was largely due to Yao Wu’s daily explanations.

Otherwise, had he relied solely on figuring things out himself, it would have taken much longer.

In a sense, Yao Wu was like half a master to him.

Of course, it also couldn’t be separated from the powerful mental strength brought by his Second Level skill.

Yao Wu’s emotions suddenly dipped, and her voice choked as she spoke, "If the Master knew you had such a good aptitude, she’d definitely have been willing to teach you wholeheartedly."

Even after so much time, Yao Wu still hadn’t forgotten her Master’s death.

The more she remembered it, the deeper her hatred grew for the Hehuan Sect, burning with the urge to quickly become a top-grade Gu Master, eliminate them all, and avenge her Master.

Zhou Luo noticed her unstable mood and gently rested his hand on her shoulder, while a softly glowing light radiated from his palm.

That pale blue light flowed along her skin into her body, giving Yao Wu a cooling and soothing sensation.

The Water Spirit Heart Method not only affected the user; when properly applied, it could also comfort others.

Under the influence of this Foundation Establishment Lower Grade heart method, Yao Wu gradually calmed down, turning to Zhou Luo with a look of gratitude.

Zhou Luo advised, "On the path of cultivation, one mustn’t seek quick gains."

He feared Yao Wu’s daily focus on revenge could create inner demons, and without care, falling into madness would lead to a costly loss.

Yao Wu nodded gravely.

"By the way, when the shop opens, you can also sell Gu insects there—I’ll take just twenty percent of the profits," Zhou Luo voiced his idea.

After becoming a Gu Master, he realized Gu techniques were even more mysterious and powerful than he’d expected, perfectly fitting Yao Yuan Pavilion’s profile.

Since Zhu Quancheng’s death, no one in the Immortal City had supplied Gu insects anymore.

If their Yao Yuan Pavilion covered this business, they’d surely attract more customers.

After all, Gu insects were scarce and rarely seen commodities.

Yao Wu’s beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she exclaimed happily, "Alright, Brother Zhou."

Though Zhu Quancheng had left her a house, relying solely on that without earning would eventually leave her in financial hardship.

It would be better to earn some spiritual stones this way, while also cultivating my own ability.

Just after saying that, Yao Wu said somewhat awkwardly, "But I can only refine and nurture mid-grade Gu insects."

"That’s enough, preferably make them distinctive, such as…" At this point, Zhou Luo quietly whispered Wang Lang’s theory about male-female affairs into her ear.

Yao Wu’s cheeks instantly flushed crimson, she lightly bit her lip, and said in a soft voice, "This… isn’t too difficult."

"That’ll do." Zhou Luo nodded.

Although potions and talismans could also promote male-female affairs, if it was something novel like Gu insects, they might become more popular.

After all, everyone liked to try things they’d never seen before.

…

Two months later.

Du Linghui conceived again.

[Congratulations, host! Through your tireless efforts, you have successfully made your partner conceive, gaining a lottery opportunity once.]

Perhaps because it was her second time bearing a child, surprisingly, it took less than a year for her to conceive.

Gaining a lottery opportunity again, Zhou Luo focused his mind into the lottery interface.

Nowadays, he hoped for more lottery opportunities, as he might just draw the Second Level alchemy skill.

Started the lottery!

His mind stirred slightly, and a golden sphere of light began to spin wildly on the white spinning wheel.

Under his watch, it finally landed on the other area.

Seeing this area.

Zhou Luo did not show much surprise.

Because every time it reached this area, he mostly drew items related to offspring.

Things like Qi of Innate Origins, special traits, and so on.

It seemed this other area was tailor-made for descendants.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Fire Spirit body!]

[The reward has been automatically sent to your backpack; please check it!]

Sure enough, it really was a special physique.

He looked at the icon in the backpack.

[Fire Spirit body]

[Physique: spiritual body]

[Grade: Second Level]

[Characteristics: After activation, it deepens the holder’s comprehension of fire-attribute techniques and divine abilities, and when cultivating fire-attribute spiritual energy, speed greatly improves…]

[Note: This physique could only be used for unborn children or children who had not been born for over one year.]

Such ordinary spiritual bodies were basically Second Level.

According to Zhou Luo’s understanding, the grades of spiritual bodies were divided from first to ninth-tier, corresponding to the nine major realms of cultivation.

Among them, if it was a Ninth-tier spiritual body, it could no longer be called a spiritual body; instead, it was to be known as an immortal body.

This kind of physique had great benefits for ultimately achieving immortality.

As the saying goes.

A true immortal might not possess an immortal body during cultivation, but cultivators with an immortal body would inevitably become true immortals.

It was just a pity that, up to now, he had not seen any records about immortal bodies in that ancient book.

Such legendary things were unknown if they could ever be drawn?

Perhaps when he was close to becoming an immortal, there might be a chance to draw it after all.

Because Zhou Luo discovered that as his cultivation realm advanced, the items drawn were also changing.

The most noticeable was the white spinning wheel, which now faintly showed red streaks.

As if it were about to transform into a red spinning wheel at any second.

This indeed made Zhou Luo somewhat anticipate what changes it would bring later.

As for this Fire Spirit body, he planned to use it together with that Companion Spirit Beast after a high-quality descendant was born.

After all, Qing Luan itself was a Spirit Beast intersecting wind and fire attributes, and combined with the Fire Spirit body, it might yield better effects.

Du Linghui’s conception was only the beginning.

During the next month, the other three concubines conceived one after another.

Currently, it seemed having too many children indeed greatly reduced the probability of conception; as for these four concubines, since it was their first time, their probability of conception was rather high.

It looked like he would need to marry more wives from now on.

For these three conceptions, Zhou Luo drew a sword technique, a Qi of Innate Origins, and one portion of Foundation Establishment auxiliary herb.

Among them, what surprised Zhou Luo most was naturally this Foundation Establishment auxiliary herb.

Adding it to the three auxiliary herbs he had snatched at the auction market earlier, he now only needed six more auxiliary herbs.

He was getting nearer to his goal.

After over three months, on this day, Yao Yuan Pavilion finally held its grand opening ceremony.
