Attitude Gu

Note that the flow time in the immortal aperture had been edited to 1:15 instead of 1:5 as it's a high grade immortal aperture.

Fang Yuan was meticulously calculating his gains from this recent trip, which had led to his ascension as an immortal. "My attainments have soared. I've refined the Shapeshifting Immortal Gu, and I've become an Immortal Gu Master. I can now achieve things I couldn't before."

"But the biggest gain—and the main reason I chose this location—is this." Fang Yuan smiled, his eyes burning with intensity as he gazed at the Gu in his hand.

"My first Wisdom Immortal Gu, and it's a Rank 8... the Attitude Gu."

The reason Fang Yuan had cultivated the transformation path and chosen to ascend in this particular place was all for this Gu. He had used the same method Hei Lou Lan once employed to claim and refine it, borrowing the heavenly might of the tribulation.

The A.I. Chip had calculated the location of this Gu based on information Fang Yuan had gathered regarding the disappearance of Hei Feng Yue.

Hei Feng Yue, granddaughter of Hei Fan—who was the esteemed ancestor of the Hei Tribe—had once owned the Attitude Gu. As a mortal, she had wandered into the Absolute Ice Battlefield with the Gu, and rumor had it she vanished, taking the Gu with her. But Fang Yuan knew the truth: Hei Feng Yue hadn't disappeared. She had fallen in love with a rockman Gu Immortal named Shi Mu, eventually marrying him and becoming a Gu Immortal herself. Known afterward as Lady Earth Mother, her Blessed Land had transformed into the Earth Mother Altar, hidden deep beneath the Absolute Ice Battlefield.

"The Attitude Gu was the key reason Chu Du believed my act earlier. He thought I was being completely honest with him."

The Attitude Gu's ability is to conceal a Gu Master's true emotions, projecting a fake attitude that others instinctively believe. What makes it even more formidable is that it requires no Immortal Essence to use—only mental energy. As long as the user has the capacity to think, they can wear and utilize the Attitude Gu effectively.

The Attitude Gu doesn't just manipulate how others view the Gu Master outwardly—it alters their perception on a deeper, mental level. When a Gu Master wears the Attitude Gu, outsiders don't merely see a façade of what he want them to see.

...

"I've gained everything I imagined from this trip. In fact, it was so easy that it makes me suspicious."

Fang Yuan's smile deepened. "I wouldn't be surprised if this was one of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable's little assists."

Despite this, Fang Yuan was thrilled with his accomplishments. Even though he knew his attainment level But still he gave a command to his A.I. Chip. "A.I. Chip, display my current attainments."

[... Beep! Host's attainments below Quasi-Master will not be displayed:

Transformation Path: Grandmaster

Blood Path: Grandmaster

Strength Path: Quasi-Grandmaster

Refinement Path: Quasi-Grandmaster

Enslavement Path: Master

Earth Path: Master 

Flying Non-Path: Quasi-Grandmaster…]

Fang Yuan admired the visualized display of his attainments, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Absorbing the true meaning of Reckless Savage Demon Venerable had significantly elevated both his transformation and strength attainments.

However, seeing the flying attainment displayed left him indifferent. "A.I., don't show the flying attainment in the future."

Flying, after all, wasn't a true path—it was merely a skill all immortals had mastered. In mortal battles, it mattered more, but for immortals, it was simply a given. Without any corresponding dao marks, the flying attainment could only ever reach Grandmaster level, which was the limit.

...

"The earth calamity in the blessed land will occur in just over two months, but that's in a blessed land with five times the normal flow of time. Which means... I only have twelve days in the Northern Plains," Fang Yuan calculated, organizing his plan carefully. "Should I leave and stay in the blessed land to prepare for the calamity?"

"No," he quickly decided, "I need to make preparations for the Lang Ya Land Spirit so I can use my second chance to refine the Immortal Gu I desire."

With that, Fang Yuan's decision was made. He would head to Lang Ya Spirit Land.

Activating the Fixed Immortal Travel Gu directly, Fang Yuan vanished in a flash of jade light. As an Immortal Gu Master now, the process was swift and effortless. He reappeared in the familiar stone forest, his clothes neatly donned, thanks to the Cloth Gu.

Without hesitation, he approached the purple pillar and used the Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's method to enter Lang Ya Spirit Land. He still didn't want to reveal that he possessed this Gu yet.

Moments later, Fang Yuan appeared in the grand room he had visited before—decorated with dragon pillars, golden curtains, crane lanterns, and vermillion windows.

Lang Ya appeared instantly, not making Fang Yuan wait. "You're back! Do you want to refine your second Gu already? But I must—" Lang Ya's voice cut off abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief. "You've become an Immortal??"

The shock was evident on Lang Ya's face. It had only been a month in normal time since Fang Yuan was last here, and now he was an Immortal Gu Master. Even though time in Lang Ya Spirit Land flowed thirty-six times slower, it was still unfathomable how fast Fang Yuan had progressed.

How could Lang Ya understand the reality? Fang Yuan was a man with the assistance of an A.I. Chip, possessing 500 years of memories and experiences, supplemented by his simulation training.

"Oh yes, I became immortal," Fang Yuan replied nonchalantly, as if it was the most trivial achievement.

Lang Ya remained frozen, struggling to process the speed of Fang Yuan's rise. It was simply too fast. Eventually, he managed to stammer, "W-why are you here?"

"Why, to visit you, of course," Fang Yuan smiled warmly. "The first thing I did after becoming an Immortal was to come and share the good news with my dear friend Lang Ya. How could I not?"

Using the Attitude Gu, Fang Yuan's expression seemed perfectly sincere.

Lang Ya Spirit Land felt momentarily suspicious, thinking Fang Yuan might be mocking him. But after seeing Fang Yuan's honest and friendly demeanor, he believed him. Fang Yuan truly seemed genuine.

Feeling flattered, Lang Ya quickly responded, "Oh, congratulations on becoming a Gu Immortal! I'll treat you to some of my finest tea, a special brew reserved only for immortals."

"Thank you, my friend," Fang Yuan said, still maintaining his earnest look. "Actually, I've spent most of my time cultivating in seclusion and haven't kept in touch with many people. You're the only one I can really talk to right now. Besides sharing my happy news, I also have a business proposition."

"What is it?" Lang Ya Spirit Land, flattered even more, perked up at the mention of business. Fang Yuan's high attainment in the Wisdom Path had always impressed him, and now there was a chance to profit further.

"It's exactly the business you've been waiting for," Fang Yuan continued smoothly. "I can complete your unfinished Gu recipes in exchange for resources I need. Of course, we'll agree on a fair price—after all, I'm a new Immortal and need to manage my Immortal Aperture."

Lang Ya Spirit Land chuckled, slightly embarrassed that his intentions had been so easily seen through. "Hehe, no problem at all. I've been wanting to complete those recipes for a while now."

Fang Yuan smiled, looking grateful. "You are truly a good friend, Lang Ya."

"But there is one more thing I want to ask," Fang Yuan added, a sly gleam in his eyes. "I'd like to trade for something in exchange for the two Rank 6 Gu you still owe me."

"What will that be?"
