Among these Gu, most belonged to the Wood Path lineage, and their types were numerous, covering various aspects such as defense, movement, reconnaissance, and storage. It could be said to be a very complete Legacy.
However, among the many Gu, only the Elder Gu and the Bookworm truly caught Liu Chen's attention. Although the other Gu also had their own characteristics, for Liu Chen, he only bothered to understand them in passing.
The Elder Gu is a Gu specifically used to store primeval stones. Liu Chen immediately chose to refine it. Unexpectedly, upon refining it, he discovered that the Elder Gu actually contained a full hundred thousand primeval stones! For Liu Chen, this was simply a timely rain.
With these hundred thousand primeval stones, Liu Chen would no longer have to worry about the problem of primeval stones for the next year. Not only that, he would also be able to continue collecting gu materials and refine more Gu.
As for that Bookworm, after Liu Chen refined it, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it contained all the information of this Legacy. This information not only included various Wood Path Gu recipes but also the cultivation insights of the former Gu Master.
Of course, the most important information among them was about this corpse.
It turned out that the owner of this corpse was the famous Fifth Rank Wood Path powerhouse from three hundred years ago—Divine Lord Mu.
In his later years, he obtained this Three Watches Gu, but because he had little Lifespan left, he could only leave this Gu and his Legacy to future generations.
With such a set of Gu, Liu Chen secretly rejoiced. He knew that this meant he could fully follow the Wood Path lineage, and the characteristics of Wood Path Gu were perfectly suited for him now.
Wood Path Gu consume less true essence, which is undoubtedly a huge advantage for Liu Chen, whose true essence is relatively limited at the moment. In addition, they are relatively easy to feed, not requiring too many resources, which allows Liu Chen to focus more on Cultivate and combat.
The Southern Border region has many mountains and forests, and the Wood Path lineage undoubtedly has more advantages in such an environment. Liu Chen imagined himself traversing the mountains and forests, using the power of Wood Path Gu, and engaging in fierce battles with enemies, and a sense of excitement surged in his heart.
However, despite the many advantages of the Wood Path lineage, Liu Chen's core lineage remained the Sword Dao. The Sword Dao was his long-standing main cultivation direction, and the Nameless Legacy was also the best Legacy he currently possessed. As for other lineages, for him, they were merely auxiliary means, used to enrich his combat skills and deal with different situations.
Liu Chen did not hesitate at all and quickly began to refine the remaining Gu.
Among them, a Second Rank Grass Eye Gu particularly pleased Liu Chen. This Gu could greatly enhance his vision, extending his field of view to within three hundred and fifty steps, and within this range, any subtle detail could be seen clearly. This was very helpful for observation and judgment in combat, allowing him to more accurately grasp the enemy's movements and weaknesses.
However, the only drawback was that although this Grass Eye Gu could increase the sight distance, it could not achieve X-ray vision. Liu Chen felt a little regretful about this, but he also understood that such an ability was already quite powerful.
Paired with the Earth Listening Flesh Ear Grass, it was an incredibly good match, making reconnaissance even more detailed.
After the process of refining the Gu was successfully completed, Liu Chen's gaze was immediately drawn to the amethyst treasure box. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the Treasure Box, anticipating the rewards inside.
"Reward obtained: (Divine Lord Mu's True Legacy) The complete Legacy of the Fifth Rank Wood Path Gu Divine Lord Mu." The System's voice rang in his ears, and an indescribable excitement surged in Liu Chen's heart.
As the System's voice faded, Divine Lord Mu's life memories flashed through Liu Chen's mind like a series of slides. He felt as if he had personally experienced Divine Lord Mu's life, felt his joys and sorrows, and also comprehended the essence of his Wood Dao.
As Liu Chen opened his eyes, his own Wood Path Realm also rapidly surged. Divine Lord Mu's research into the Wood Path was undoubtedly several times stronger than Flower Wine Ascetic's research into the Earth Dao. Even among Fifth Rank Gu Master, their strength was vastly different.
After receiving this Legacy, Liu Chen was extremely excited. He couldn't wait to explore more secrets and Treasure Trove, so he decided to use the Treasure Light Gu to search the vicinity again.
The Treasure Light Gu is a very magical Gu. It can emit a faint light, illuminating the surrounding environment. After Liu Chen released the Treasure Light Gu, it began to wander around, carefully searching every corner.
After a careful search, Liu Chen did not find anything particularly valuable. However, he unexpectedly found the hundred primeval stones that the elderly Gu Master had hidden. Although these primeval stones seemed insignificant compared to the hundred thousand primeval stones in the Legacy, for Liu Chen, it was still a considerable fortune.
With sufficient Cultivate resources, a big weight in Liu Chen's heart finally lifted. He knew that to survive in this world full of dangers and challenges, he must constantly improve his strength.
Therefore, he decided to stay here and Cultivate for a while, striving to Breakthrough to Third Rank cultivation.
Liu Chen knew very well that if his cultivation did not improve, then encountering some slightly stronger enemies would be a life-and-death situation for him. Therefore, he must go all out and not be slack in the slightest.
For safety, Liu Chen also used the Thousand Li Earth Wolf Spider to dig a complex underground cave. This cave could not only serve as his temporary residence but also provide a certain defensive capability, allowing him to Cultivate without external interference.
The surging true essence sea, like raging waves, and the scarlet iron true essence within it was as dark as ink, like an endless abyss of darkness. This was clearly the dark red true essence of the Second Rank Peak.
Liu Chen gazed intently at this true essence ocean, his breathing becoming steady and deep, as if he had merged with this ocean. His true essence consumption rate and recovery rate were almost equal.
Suddenly, he made up his mind and released all his true essence in one go. This massive dark red true essence, like a surging torrent, violently impacted his Aperture. Under the impact of this powerful force, the Aperture instantly shattered into pieces, and the broken Aperture crystal walls rapidly Rebirth, transforming into a brand new Aperture.
With the Rebirth of the Aperture, the dark red true essence that originally filled it also underwent a miraculous change. They gradually became brighter, eventually transforming into the silver true essence of the Third Rank initial stage, emitting a dazzling light.
"Hoo..." Liu Chen exhaled a long breath, feeling the changes in his true essence. He had successfully advanced to Third Rank, which was an important milestone. In the mortal world, he could now be considered a capable individual, and in the Family, he could become an Elder-level figure.
