Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

After leaving his master, Wang Xiao quickly arrived at a teahouse in the school.

The owner of this teahouse was none other than Zhong Li.

This kid really knew how to spot a business opportunity. Taking advantage of the school's reconstruction, he opened a teahouse in the school, specializing in business from the school. With over 1,000 students and teachers in the school, the teahouse became incredibly popular as soon as it opened.

Wang Xiao sat down in the teahouse, ordered a pot of tea, and drank it himself. Before long, Zhong Li came in, panting.

He plopped down opposite Wang Xiao, poured a cup of tea, and gulped it down.

Wang Xiao rolled his eyes: "Zhong Fatty, can't you lose some weight? I haven't seen you for a few days, and it looks like you've gained another pound!"

Zhong Li said unhappily, "Don't talk nonsense. Where have I gained weight? I just weighed myself this morning and lost two liang! It's all your fault. To find the Gu refining materials for you, I haven't been eating or sleeping well, and I've lost weight!"

Wang Xiao ignored him and went straight to the point: "In that case, have you collected all the materials I need?"

Zhong Li shook his head: "There are still a few missing. Wang Xiao, what are you doing all day? The materials you need are all rare and obscure. There are many things I haven't even heard of. I had to go back and ask my old man to find out!"

"Find them for me quickly, don't worry about the price. I'm waiting to refine Gu!"

Wang Xiao had a spirit stone mine, so he had the confidence to speak! He dug a passage in the mine, too lazy to dig himself, and put the rhinoceros beetles in to dig tunnels when he had nothing to do. The poor rhinoceros beetles, as majestic golden spirit Gu, were reduced to the fate of being miners just because they were strong and could dig.

"What kind of Gu are you refining that requires so many precious and rare materials!"

"Then don't ask. This might be my natal Gu!"

Zhong Li quickly waved his hand: "If it's your natal Gu, don't mention it in the future, and I won't ask!"

This was the rule of the Gu Master world. The natal Gu was the second life of a Gu Master. Once the natal Gu died, the Gu Master was finished!

Therefore, no Gu Master would reveal the secrets of their natal Gu! Asking about someone else's natal Gu was also a taboo!

In fact, Wang Xiao was not refining a natal Gu, but the Blood Shadow Mantis Gu recorded on the Gu refining stone slab his master gave him.

He had many spirit Gu now, but they were more focused on defense, lacking a spirit Gu with sharp attack power, so he wanted to refine the Blood Shadow Mantis.

Once the Blood Shadow Mantis was refined, it would be a orange crystal quality spirit Gu. For any other Gu Master, it would definitely be enough to be their natal Gu. However, Wang Xiao would definitely not do that.

The natal Gu was not necessarily the stronger the combat power, the better!

If the natal Gu died, the master would be finished. If there was a choice, who would be willing to let their natal Gu go out and fight others!

When choosing a natal Gu, it was best to have comprehensive abilities, strong defense, fast speed, and excellent recovery ability. This way, it would not be easy to die. Of course, if it also had strong attack power, that would be even better!

In these respects, the Blood Shadow Mantis was not suitable as a natal Gu.

The Blood Shadow Mantis had super strong attack power. It was like an assassin, hiding in the dark, not moving until it struck, killing with one blow!

The characteristics of the Blood Shadow Mantis were that it was good at concealment, had strong instantaneous explosive power, and was fast!

Its weakness was that its relative defense ability was poor!

For a natal Gu, weak defense was the biggest weakness!

Orange crystal spirit Gu were very rare. Currently, there were no more than 100 known orange crystal Gu in the Gu Master world.

Every Gu Master, after obtaining an orange crystal spirit Gu, would choose it as their natal Gu, because orange crystal Gu were already the ceiling of spirit Gu, and there would be no better choice.

If Wang Xiao refined the Blood Shadow Mantis, even if he didn't publicize it, people would think that his natal Gu must be the Blood Shadow Mantis. If Wang Xiao encountered an opponent, they would definitely target the Blood Shadow Mantis!

In this way, it would be exactly what Wang Xiao wanted!

Because he would never use the Blood Shadow Mantis as his natal Gu!

He was not like other Gu Masters. It was considered heaven-defying luck for them to obtain an orange crystal spirit Gu, but Wang Xiao had a system, so cultivating an orange crystal spirit Gu was not easy, but definitely not that difficult!

For example, right now, Wang Xiao had something more suitable as a natal Gu.

That was the Seven Star Beetle!

After winning the Star Gold from Hua Jinlong, Wang Xiao had been using the Star Gold to feed the Seven Star Beetle.

However, the Star Gold was too hard, and the Seven Star Beetle chewed very slowly. After so long, it had only eaten a soybean-sized piece, but even this little bit of Star Gold had caused the Seven Star Beetle to evolve into a golden Gu.

If it finished chewing the entire Star Gold, the Seven Star Beetle would probably be able to evolve into an orange crystal spirit Gu.

At that time, the Seven Star Beetle would definitely be more suitable as a natal Gu than the Blood Shadow Mantis!

Because the Seven Star Beetle's specialty was super strong defense, super fast speed, and super strong life recovery! If it evolved into an orange crystal spirit Gu, it would also have many incredible abilities!

But even so, Wang Xiao would still not choose the Seven Star Beetle as his natal Gu!

Because he once had a conversation with the system:

"System, which spirit Gu should I choose as my natal Gu?"

"Ding! The host's current strength is too weak, it is not yet time to consider a natal Gu!"

"Damn it! I'm asking you, just tell me, what does my strength have to do with it! You are a system, can't you respect your master a little!"

"Ding! The host's current strength is too weak, it is not yet time to consider a natal Gu!"

"Damn it… Forget it, then tell me what kind of spirit Gu is most suitable as a natal Gu, that's okay, right?"

"Ding! The spirit Gu most suitable as a natal Gu must have the strongest combat power, be able to shape the strongest body and soul for the host, and also have the ability to travel freely in the river of time and space…"

The system's words were vague, and Wang Xiao had a spirit of getting to the bottom of things. Under his questioning, he finally summarized the system's requirements for a natal Gu:

① Strong combat power. The Gu Master's strength is paramount, and the natal Gu must first have strong combat power!

② Able to help the master's cultivation! According to the system, the fundamental purpose of the Gu Master's own cultivation is to strengthen the body and soul. An excellent spirit Gu can infinitely enhance the strength of the master's body and soul.

③ Able to control time;

④ Able to control space!

Time and space are the biggest secrets in the universe!

To traverse the myriad worlds, how can you do it without understanding the mysteries of time and space!

Therefore, as the most important natal Gu of a Gu Master, the ability to control time and space is a basic requirement!

To simultaneously meet the above four conditions is the most powerful natal Gu!

Hearing the system say this, Wang Xiao felt that such a spirit Gu was very awesome!

He immediately asked the system for the secret recipe for refining this kind of spirit Gu, but the system replied: "Ding! The host's current strength is too weak, it is not yet time to consider a natal Gu!"

Still this sentence, which made Wang Xiao angry: "Ding! Ding! Ding! I ding your sister! I think you are like toothpaste, you won't come out unless you squeeze!"

The system did not give the secret recipe for refining the natal Gu, and Wang Xiao had no way to deal with it, so he had to wait until his strength was strong enough to talk about it!

Wang Xiao was thinking about the natal Gu, and Zhong Li said again: "There are several materials that I really can't find. However, on the fifteenth of this month, the largest merchant house in the Gu Master world—the Wan Family Merchant House—will have a caravan coming to Golden Bell City. At that time, they will hold an auction in the city. With the strength of the Wan Family Merchant House, there may be something you need at the auction!"

Auction!

The fifteenth!

Wang Xiao calculated the time, and there was still more than a week.

He nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you to attend this auction at that time!"
