Shen Lian's uncle's house was a few hundred miles away in Black Rock City. Shen Wanquan wanted to send Shen Lian away so that he could avoid trouble.
There was a moment of silence.
"Father, what will you do if I leave? What about the dozens of people in the family? "
Shen Lian's eyes were burning. He felt inexplicably irritated.
The Zhu family, which had a strong foundation like the Shen family, was destroyed in half a day. Who would dare to say that they were safe?
"You don't have to worry about that. Just take care of yourself." Shen Wanquan waved his hand and forced a smile. His eyes were full of fatigue and worry. "Stay at home and don't go out."
Shen Lian nodded and went back to his room to wash up. He lay on the bed and could not fall asleep for a long time.
"If there are demons in this world, there must be something to fight against them. Maybe there are immortals …"
Shen Lian said "I hope" in his heart. He had great expectations. He just wanted to find a way to protect himself as soon as possible.
He slept until the next morning when the sky was just turning bright.
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock!
There was a rush of knocking on the door.
Shen Lian opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He looked out of the door.
"Who is it?"
"Master Lian, Master Wang Fugui is looking for you. He said it's urgent!" It was the voice of the maid, Cuilan.
"Did this damn fatty take the wrong medicine? He actually woke up earlier than me." Shen Lian mumbled and got out of bed quickly. He went to the living room and saw the potbellied Wang Fugui.
"It's so early in the morning. Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Shen Lian yawned. He did not sleep well last night.
"Brother Lian, it's an emergency. Lend me ten thousand taels." Wang Fugui stretched out his hand as if he was in a hurry.
"You woke me up just to borrow money?" Shen Lian raised his eyebrows. "Since when did you lack money?"
Wang Fugui sighed. "I want to buy a treasure. I need fifty thousand taels. I still need ten thousand taels. Can you help me?"
"Treasure?"
"Do you remember Lin Xiuping? He said he has a treasure that can subdue demons. I want to buy it."
Shen Lian's heart skipped a beat.
"Wait for me, I want to go and take a look too."
Shen Lian quickly turned around and withdrew thirty thousand taels from the account room.
Hehe, this was the good thing about being born into a rich family. There was no need to worry about money.
After that, Wang Fugui brought Shen Lian to the Hanyue Temple. After waiting for a while, Lin Xiuping arrived.
"Have you prepared the money?" Lin Xiuping looked at the two of them and went straight to the point.
Wang Fugui nodded excitedly.
Seeing this, Lin Xiuping made a sound of acknowledgment. After searching his chest for a while, he took out something.
An iron-skinned beetle appeared on his palm. It looked very much like a seven-spot ladybug, and there was nothing special about it.
Shen Lian frowned.
"This is the treasure you mentioned that can subdue demons and devils?" Wang Fugui blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously. His face was full of wonder, "Are you kidding me?"
"Pfft …" Lin Xiuping snorted as if mocking Wang Fugui's ignorance.
"This isn't a bug, it's a Gu!
I am a Gu Master, I raise Gu, refine Gu, and use Gu.
What is a Gu? It is the essence of heaven and earth, the source of truth, the door to all methods!
If a mortal wants to obtain extraordinary strength, they have to start with a Gu. "
When Lin Xiuping said this, his face showed great pride, "There is no point in talking to you. Seeing is believing, I will show you the strength of a Gu Master."
Lin Xiuping opened his left hand.
"Look at my palm!"
Suddenly, a strange creature that resembled a bear's paw came out from under the skin of his left palm.
"It is called bear paw Gu, it can transform a person's hand into a bear paw and obtain the strength of a bear paw. Look carefully! "
The bear paw Gu drilled into his skin again. Almost at the next moment, his left hand let out a lustrous radiance and dark brown hair grew on it. His fingernails grew long, curved and sharp. His entire left hand also doubled in size. It could no longer be seen as a human hand, it was clearly a giant bear paw!
"Ha!"
Lin Xiuping raised his bear paw and slammed it on a table. With a loud bang, the thick Nanmu wood table broke apart and a three inch deep scratch mark was revealed.
"Oh my god!"
Wang Fu Gui cried out in shock.
Shen Lian's eyes shined brightly.
Lin Xiuping breathed out, the change in his left hand faded and it turned back into a human hand.
"So, are you buying it?"
"Buy, buy!"
Wang Fu Gui was impatient.
Lin Xiuping smiled and took out that iron skin colored beetle again, saying: "This is iron skin Gu, it can turn a person's skin into iron and become as hard as steel, hard to be injured by swords. It only costs fifty thousand taels. "
Wang Fu Gui took out the money without hesitation.
Shen Lian's gaze flashed and he cupped his fists: "May I ask Gu Master Lin, what is the method of raising Gu, refining Gu, and using Gu?"
Wang Fu Gui heard this and his action of taking out money slowed down.
Lin Xiuping looked at Shen Lian's face and said slowly: "Gu are living creatures, they need to eat, drink, and defecate just like us. Providing for their daily needs is raising Gu."
Wang Fu Gui heard this and joked: "It sounds like raising a woman."
Lin Xiuping chuckled: "Indeed.
But raising Gu is much easier than raising a woman.
For example, this iron skin Gu likes to eat high purity iron essence, you just need to provide it with enough iron essence every day. "
"That's simple!" Wang Fu Gui understood, "What about refining Gu?"
"Gu refinement has two meanings. One is to refine Gu, which is to refine the Gu and achieve unity of mind and soul. Only then can we use the mystical power of the Gu. The second is to evolve Gu, which is to use a special refining method to let the Gu evolve and become stronger Gu. This way, we can obtain greater strength."
Lin Xiuping said as he took out a thin book.
"This book records the detailed methods of raising Gu, refining Gu, and using Gu. If you buy my Gu, I will give this book to you for research."
Wang Fu Gui looked at the book and turned to Shen Lian. Evidently, Shen Lian was much calmer than him and had the intention of asking the latter.
Shen Lian pondered: "Do you have other Gu? I want to buy one as well. "
Lin Xiuping hesitated: "Yes, I do, but …" He paused for a while before saying: "The other Gu, I obtained it by chance. I tried to refine it many times but failed, I suspect it is … a dead Gu."
"Ah, dead Gu." Wang Fu Gui stared, as if saying 'why are you selling a dead Gu?'
Lin Xiuping suddenly said: "It could be a living Gu, I once felt it had life aura."
Shen Lian did not want to give up: "Can you take it out for me to see?"
Lin Xiuping shook his sleeves and opened his palm, revealing a human shaped Gu. At first glance, it looked like a mini clown, giving off an indescribable comical feeling.
"This Gu has an unknown origin, I have already had it for three years, but have not been able to find out what Gu it is.
According to my observations, this Gu should not be dead, but in a dormant state. What it eats and what it uses for are unknown. "
Shen Lian stretched out his hand and lightly approached the clown Gu.
Just as he was about to pick up the clown Gu, his palm was hit by something.
Shen Lian frowned and flipped his hand over, only to find that the clown Gu was already in his palm.
"This …"
Lin Xiuping and Wang Fu Gui did not notice this detail, they only thought that Shen Lian picked up the clown Gu.
Shen Lian took a deep breath and said, "I want to buy this Gu, how much is it?"
Lin Xiuping was overjoyed, blurting out: "Forty … thirty thousand!"
Wang Fu Gui shook his head: "Brother Lian, don't waste money."
Shen Lian pondered, slightly wavering. Seeing this, Lin Xiuping became nervous, this clown Gu was useless in his hands, he might as well exchange it for some money.
"I only brought five thousand." Shen Lian said with some regret.
In fact, it was thirty thousand, if he gave Wang Fu Gui ten thousand, he would still have twenty thousand.
Lin Xiuping gritted his teeth: "Forget it, five thousand it is, deal!"
One hand for the money, the other hand for the Gu and the book.
Lin Xiuping took the money and left.
"Brother Lian, quickly take a look at what the book says?" Wang Fu Gui passed the book over, he was dizzy when he saw the words.
Shen Lian caressed the clown Gu, flipped open the book and read seriously. After a while, he raised his head and said: "According to the book, Gu cultivation and Gu refinement are carried out at the same time. When feeding the Gu, other than providing the corresponding ingredients, we also need to drip blood to feed it.
The purpose of this is to nurture a close relationship between us and the Gu, after a long time, when our thoughts are as one, the refinement will be a success. "
"We still need to drip blood!"
Wang Fu Gui's expression twitched, he was afraid of pain.
"Let me try first."
Shen Lian picked up the fruit knife on the table and used the tip of the knife to pierce his index finger, fresh blood oozed out.
"F * ck, you win." Wang Fu Gui's mouth twitched, he could feel the pain just by looking at himself.
Shen Lian's expression was focused, his index finger moved above the clown Gu, and drops of blood fell down like pearls.
The blood quickly increased in his palm, almost drowning the clown Gu.
After a while, the clown Gu suddenly moved, rolling around in the blood, looking very comfortable.
"It moved! It moved! "Wang Fu Gui exclaimed.
Shen Lian was also excited. Suddenly, his thoughts seemed to be connected with the clown Gu, a wonderful feeling emerged in his heart. At the same time, a translucent interface appeared in front of him.
Shen Lian's eyes were dazed.
The interface was very simple, the words written on it were:
Shen Lian: White Rank Gu Master
Life Twisting Gu, also known as Bewitching Gu!
Bewilderment value: 0
Shen Lian blinked, and confirmed again, the interface did not disappear, but became clearer.
At this time, the clown Gu, which should be Life Twisting Gu, drank all the blood, stretched lazily, and drilled into the skin of his palm, disappearing.
This scene was exactly the same as when Lin Xiuping manipulated his bear paw Gu.
"Damn, it succeeded just like that?!" Wang Fu Gui was stunned, staring at Shen Lian, his jaw dropping.
Shen Lian pointed at the interface in front of him, asking, "Did you see anything?"
Wang Fu Gui was confused, "What?"
Sure enough, Wang Fu Gui could not see anything.
Shen Lian was secretly happy, shaking his head, "Nothing, that, I seem to have become … a Gu Master."
Wang Fu Gui was excited, he held the knife to his fingertips, closed his eyes, and suppressed his anger.
He looked, it did not break.
Shen Lian immediately said in disdain, "Your actions are as fierce as a tiger, hahaha …"
Wang Fu Gui was ruthless.
Ouch! Ouch! Oh my god!
Finally, some skin was broken, and some blood was squeezed out.
At this moment!
"Bewitching Wang Fu Gui succeeded, obtained 1 bewilderment value."
The wonderful voice rang in Shen Lian's mind, making him stunned for three seconds.
"Brother Lian, my blood is useless." Wang Fu Gui raised his head gloomily, he used his blood to feed the iron skin Gu, but the latter did not drill into his skin, nor did it form any mental connection.
Shen Lian said, "The book says that raising and refining Gu cannot be done in a day, we have to persevere."
