Risks and Rewards often coexist in many situations. Take the earlier example where Chen Xing faced the risk of losing life but in exchange got the experience of defeating wild boar king as well as a new gu worm.
In his room in the Gu Yue Clan, Chen Xing laughed happily. Today he had made some heavy gains. A black colored gu insect shaped like a beetle was placed in his hands right now.
[ Black Boar Gu ] - use it to refine the body to gain a boar's power. This is what he robbed just now. It was one of the most famous early stage gu worm.
This was a wild Gu worm, and he couldn't use it temporarily because it hasn't been refined by him yet but since it was already into his hands, the gu can't run away on it's own.
At this time, he could imagine how angry and depraved StrongPower Guild might be, but Gu Yue Clan prohibits Gu Masters from fighting within the village. As long as he stayed in the Clan's premises to refine this Gu worm, those players will be helpless.
After putting the Gu worm into his Aperture, choosing to refine it, he began to drew circles of primeval essense which began to wrap around the Gu worm. The black boar gu refused to be refined and began to struggle, but Chen Xing did not care. This was only a 1st Rank gu worm, and his cultivation level was enough, so no matter how hard the gu struggled, the system will naturally help him in refining when the time required to refine is up. The calculation time as per system was about three. day. The refinement process would automatically be carried out by system in his aperture. However, Chen Xing wouldn't be able to move anywhere during this period and have to stay in one place. If he chooses to move, then the refinement process may be disrupted and he might have to start again.
Chen Xing turned to look at his own vital Gu. This time, in order to escape for his life, he used Earth Drilling Gu more than once. This vital Gu was now sluggish, lying on the bottom of his Aperture and slowly recovering, and the system prompted that the gu cannot be used again for a week. Moreover, his cultivation base also almost dropped from the middle-level due to the influence of the Vital Gu, but fortunately, killing the wild boar king gave him a lot of experience and barely allowed him to maintain the middle-level.
But all of this was worthwhile. The cultivation base can be regained again when vital gu recovers. Rare gu worms like Black Boar Gu were not so easy to find on the other hand. Chen Xing did not see such kind of gu in the Academy's Gu room.
For the next three days, he seemed to be free. For the refining aspect, Gu system helped and he didn't need to do anything, he doesn't need to worry about failure. Meanwhile he just fed Moonlight Gu with moon petals which he had prepared beforehand, and then chose to go offline after checking the progress of the system for the next 3 days.
Logging into the forum habitually, he found that the StrongPower Guild had put wanted posters for him everywhere, but did not publish the specific reason for the wanted poster, probably because it cannot be publicized since it would reflect badly on them. However, he had became a celebrity for a while, which was not really a good thing, and he would have to be careful while leveling in the future.
"It would be great if there was a Gu worm that could change my appearance," Chen Xing thought.
This was all for the future. At present, he had Soil Drilling Gu in his hands. After the Black Boar Gu is refined, his strength will increase tremendously. He believed that few people would be able to catch upto him. Chen Xing was not a person who looked forward for something, he believed in doing the required immediately. He left his home.
Taking advantage of three days of free time, Chen Xing decided to go back to his hometown. After his parents died, he rarely went back there except on a few occasions. First, he was afraid of seeing the scene there and meeting the old acquaintances, and second, he could not see it aa home ever again. In the village, he was in negative book of almost everyone living there. He couldn't even bear to look into his past earlier, but now everything seemed to be less important.
The scenery outside the train was speeding through Chen Xing's eyes, showing ranges of mountains, fields, and rivers which were left behind row after row, and a familiar feeling came to his mind. He remembered the time when he was a young boy and he first went to college, he had never traveled very far, so his father bought two extra train tickets while preparing to send him to college. Unexpectedly, even his mother approved the father's idea after knowing about it, saying that she didn't buy her ticket because she knew his father well. Originally he was supposed to go alone to the college on the train but now his parents accompanied him. So the trip to college actually became their family trip. Now he was confident that he would not get lost, but he wouldn't be able to find that home ever again.
The mountain village was still peaceful as ever. He stayed at the uncle's house for two days, visited his parent's grave and set off for his return journey. Some hidden burden in his mind seemed to be vanished, but he didn't know what it was after thinking about it.
