I am going to speedrun this chapter, and the MC will gain the strength of both White and Black Boar Gu's. That's all that happens in this chapter; you can skip it if you want.
And there will be a new method to earn Gacha Tickets that is through SP(Selling Points) which can be earned by selling Gu's or any resources but points will be given based on the rarity.

Chapter 9 - Black and White Boar Gu
Li Tianhuan sat cross-legged in his room, the dim light of a single lantern casting long shadows across the wooden walls. The air was cool, carrying a faint dampness that seeped into the wooden floorboards. Occasionally, the wood creaked softly under the strain of the building, breaking the stillness of the night.
He focused his mind inward, directing his attention to his aperture. Within its swirling green copper essence, the Black Boar Gu stirred. The Gu's small, dark, boar-like form, complete with gleaming tusks, radiated faint energy that pulsed in rhythm with his thoughts. It was time to begin.
Li Tianhuan guided a steady flow of his primeval essence toward the Gu worm. As the energy flowed into the Black Boar Gu, the Gu emitted a faint, dark glow. Within moments, a surge of dark green primeval essence rushed up in the opposite flow, channeling back into his body.
The Black Boar Gu released its energy, and a wave of transformation began. A dim, dark light seemed to envelop Li Tianhuan's body from within, making his muscles faintly ripple under the glow.
He felt a numbing sensation spread across his limbs, followed by a gradual itchiness that seemed to seep deep into his muscles. The Gu's power was altering his physical strength, integrating its essence into his body, and creating a foundation that would never fade.
However, as the numbness persisted, it slowly escalated into sharp pain. It was as if countless tiny needles were piercing his muscles and tendons.
The sensation became unbearable, forcing Li Tianhuan to grit his teeth to suppress a groan. Knowing the limits of his endurance, he quickly stopped the flow of essence to the Black Boar Gu, letting the pain subside as he exhaled heavily. "Sh*t, I am not Fang Yuan but I need to hold on to increase my strength," he thought, wiping sweat from his brow.
He took some rest before he started to use Black Boar Gu again. Like this he was repeated the process again and again.
It was already early morning by the time he completed several cycles, Li Tianhuan exhaled deeply and opened his eyes. A thin sheen of sweat covered his forehead, and his shoulders sagged slightly from the effort. "This takes more out of me than I expected," he muttered, wiping his brow with the sleeve of his robe.
Rising to his feet, he stretched his limbs, feeling the tension ease from his body. He walked to the small table in the corner of the room, where a clay jug of water awaited. Taking a long drink, he allowed himself a brief moment of rest.
Due to Li Tianhuan having a surplus of primeval essence stones, which he had meticulously gathered through careful planning and occasional trades within the clan, he used them without hesitation, ensuring a steady supply of energy to sustain the process. This abundance allowed him to maintain the cycles longer and more efficiently, speeding up his progress.
Once he felt ready, Li Tianhuan sat down again, this time shifting his focus to the White Boar Gu. Within his aperture, the pale, luminescent Gu worm emitted a soft glow, its aura calm and steady. Like its counterpart, the White Boar Gu required a consistent flow of primeval essence to activate. Li Tianhuan began the process anew, guiding his energy toward the Gu worm.
The White Boar Gu absorbed his essence and emitted a bright white light. The light flowed through his aperture and seemed to wrap around his entire body. A wave of soothing energy spread across his muscles, lungs, and heart, enhancing his stamina and fortifying his endurance. From the outside, if anyone had been watching, they would have seen Li Tianhuan's body glow faintly with a pure white radiance.
The sensation began as a gentle warmth, spreading through his body like a soothing wave. It enveloped his muscles and organs, offering a moment of pure comfort, as though every inch of his being was bathed in sunlight.
But this tranquility was fleeting; the warmth soon transitioned into a familiar numbness, signaling the deeper integration of the Gu's power. His breathing deepened, and his heart pulsed rhythmically with renewed vigor.
However, as with the Black Boar Gu, the numbness transformed into sharp pain—like being electrocuted or cut by countless razor-sharp blades. He clenched his fists, enduring the sensation as long as he could before stopping the flow of essence to the White Boar Gu.
Panting slightly, Li Tianhuan paused to let his body recover. The changes were slow but undeniable. Both Gu worms had begun their work, planting their effects deep into his foundation.
After another hour of rest, he started doing the same process again. The process of activating and refining the Gu worms was taxing, requiring both physical and mental stamina.
After hours of dedicated cycles and rest intervals, Li Tianhuan finally completed the process of using the White and Black Boar Gu. With their effects now integrated into his body, he prepared to sell them back to the system.
He turned his attention to the red screen of the system hovering in the corner of his vision. "Sell Points," he murmured, pulling up the interface. Both the Black Boar and White Boar Gu appeared in his inventory, their SP values displayed beneath them.
Black Boar Gu: 10 SP
White Boar Gu: 10 SP
"20 SP," Li Tianhuan calculated quickly. "Enough for two Gacha tickets." He thought briefly for second and he decided to go out and do some hunting in the wild.
