5 Liquor Worm Gu Acquired
Under the bright sun
Li Shang was out of breath, he has finally refined rank 1 windwhirl gu!
"Finally" Li Shang said he was worn out. Li Shang thought it was going to be easy process, but he decided to multitask. While refining the Gu he tried to replenish his primeval energy, which failed. He got a backlash and had to take a break.
" I have to get better at controlling my primeval essence, it would be nice I had some venerable inheritance" Li Shang mumbled. Li Shang meditated for a while then went back to to refine the gu. This time he only focused on the Gu.
" I have three gu, black boar gu as my vital gu and windwhirl gu as my movement gu l. I have to get the Liquor Worm gu for that old geezer . I should get tomorrow. As of right now I need a investigative gu. Once I go back to the academy, I'll get to pick a gu.
"I have 1770 primeval stones, that should be good for a couple months."
For now I have to focus on hitting rank 1 middle, with my talent and liquor worm gu. I need a good 3 days. Li Shang left his room and went to his his backyard to practice on his black boar gu.
"With my strength I can activate only 5% of the black boar gu, I need more practice!"
Thinking so, Li Shang decided to call the guards and fight, the were at the peak of mortal rank.
The guards were petrified, when their young master asked them to fight the first time. They had no problem with it, because the thought it was practice. Oh how wrong were they, their were originally 10 guards after the fight all of them had a broken bone and a busted bone. At that moment the swear on their name to find another master.
Once all the guards, Li Shang said all of you attack me.
one of the guards mustered up the bit of courage he had and asked" young master can you go easy on us."
Li Shang sighed to himself " I should've gone harder on them. they dare question me."
Li Shang said in a smooth voice" Its seem like I have gone too hard, I'll try my best not to go overboard"
When the guards heard this the took a deep breath out.
" Ok now attack me"
10 minutes later
"Master stop AHHH" that was the last guard standing, all the other guards pass out.
After the last guard fainted, Li Shang didn't gain no insights during the fight. It wouldn't even be counted as fight, it was one sided. He felt dejected, but it was in his expectation. They were only mortals. while he was a Gu master, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Li Shang went back inside the house and took hot bath. while drying himself, a servant knocked through the door and said "elder Li Pao wants to talk to you."
"Finally, this old geezer will finally give me the Liquor worm gu"
Li Shang made his way to elder Li Pao pavilion. Once Li Shang arrived at the pavilion.
He saw Li Pao smirking. Li Shang know from that smirk Li Pao had something plan
" Nice to see you Li Shang"
Li Shang nod and said "Grandfather give me the gu"
Li Shang was not nice to Li Pao, Li Pao barely talked to Li Shang. He only wished Li Shang would be a useful person for his faction, but once Li Shang got A talent aptitude. Li Shang was panicking, he thought Li Shang was going to be at least grade b talent, but A TALENT. Li Pao know he had to make Li Shang come back to him or at least feel indebt.
Li Pao cackled " grandson come sit here"
Li Shang naturally knew Li Pao was trying to control him. This was in his expectations, In this Gu world people will do anything for benefits.
Li Pao said with a warm voice " Li Shang my grandson if it wasn't for me you would be dead now, is this how you greet your savior also your grandfather.
Li Shang chuckled " Give me the Liquor Worm gu first and we can talk.
Li Pao was irritated but he couldn't do anything about Li Shang was the clan head disciple. That means he will probably be a future clan head, but Li Pao wouldn't let a junior talk to him like this.
Li Shang saw that Li Pao wasn't budging, Li Shang said " lets negotiate"
This was the moment Li Pao was waiting, before he can speak Li Shang cut him off
" you fully use your resources to support me and I'll help your faction become stronger, but it will take a while."
Li Pao was surprised Li Shang would strike him first, but it was tempting, if his faction can become stronger he would be more influential and he might break through and hit rank 4 initial.
Li Pao agreed, but said " If you don't hit rank 3 middle in 5 years then things wont look good for you.
Li Shang nod and said " no worries I got this."
Li Pao gave him the Gu.
"rank 1 liquor worm gu finally" Li Shang has 94% primeval his cultivation speed should be very fast, but was this gu it would be extremely faster.
Once Li Shang left, Li Pao shrugged and screamed in anger " this disobedient kid, I raised and this is how he treats me. WOOOO I'll looks like I have to teach him some respect said cackled.
Li Shang decided to go to the academy and get his first gu from the academy. while waiting in the front of the pavilion, the guard quickly went to academy elder.
Master "a student want to get his first gu"
Li Zhen was furious "who"
"Li Shang"
"Oh him ok lead the way" Li Zhen lighten down a bit, After all it was a future clan head.
"Nice to meet you elder Li Zhen"
"hmm lets go the the clan treasury"
Li Shang and Li Zhen arrived at the treasury
" once you enter pick one 1 rank gu and come out"
Li Shang entered and was disappointed"
These gu's were bad, but near the end area a gu caught eye, rank 1 fire drill gu once activated this gu. A fire drill will appear and attack where you direct it, it was a the peak of power for rank 1 gu, but it takes lots of control and wastes primeval energy. Li Shang picked the Fire drill gu left.
Li Shang made his way back home. once Li Shang went in his room. he went in deep thoughts to calculate he gains
" I have black boar gu. Which feds on boar meat. Whirlwind gu feds on air, liquor gu feds on wine and fire drill that feds on sunlight. I plan on cultivating for the rest for the week, for sure I'll hit rank 1 middle with that I can get a gu for the clan. Also I still lots of primeval gu around 1750. With the alliance with Li Pao I .should get an increase in primeval stones. Ok its decided to I'm going to go into secluded cultivation
Li Shang called in a servant "prepare me food and water that can last for 1 week"
Li Shang was going to break through rank 1 middle!
