The Devil King? No, Please Call Me The Immortal King Xiaoyao.

"After this class, everyone can go to the Gu chamber of the academy to choose Gu worms. Once you've chosen your Gu worm, you must focus on cultivation."

"Only after you refine your first Gu worm can the academy's courses continue, and your Gu Master career can be considered officially started. At the same time, this is also an assessment. Whoever comes out on top will receive a reward of twenty yuan stones."

The academy elder, looking at the expectant faces in the class, announced with a smile.

Oh!

Upon hearing that they were about to refine Gu worms, everyone couldn't sit still and were extremely excited.

"Finally, we're refining Gu worms! Twenty yuan stones, that's quite a bit of income!" Yi Xin couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This was the first time an ordinary person living on Blue Star had come into contact with such extraordinary power.

But thinking of the reward for the assessment, he quietly shifted his gaze towards Fang Yuan.

"But in the original story, Fang Yuan got first place. Can I beat him? I really need those twenty yuan stones!"

Fang Yuan was also pondering, and so was Yi Xin. Fang Yuan stared at the desk, while Yi Xin glanced at Fang Yuan.

The Gu chamber was right next to the academy, so as soon as the class ended, everyone rushed over impatiently.

"Line up, one by one." A stern voice came. Since Gu worms were stored here, there must be someone guarding the place.

Everyone lined up, one in, one out. Before long, everyone had a Gu worm in their hands.

As night fell, Yi Xin waited for his mother to fall asleep before returning to his bedroom. He didn't choose to sleep but took an item out of his pocket.

What was it?

It was a Gu worm, a Moonlight Gu. This was the first Gu worm Yi Xin had ever seen. It was truly beautiful. Its body was crystal clear, even more translucent than the most expensive jade from his previous life.

Shaped like a crescent moon, its body was clear and serene. Under the moonlight, it was simply stunning.

"Let's try it and see if I can refine it."

Yi Xin, adhering to his daring and proactive nature, began refining it directly.

He closed his eyes, regulated his breathing, and then sank his mind.

The next moment, the scene of his aperture appeared in his mind: a layer of white light membrane attached to the outside. Inside was a sea of ​​true essence, with the water level reaching more than half of the aperture. The entire sea of ​​true essence occupied four-fifths of the aperture, and the seawater was bronze in color, which was the sign of a Rank 1 Gu Master.

Yi Xin sensed these bronze true essences, and saw them surging with his mind, either flying or surging.

Yi Xin gently guided these true essences towards his arm, towards his palm.

In his palm, the Moonlight Gu lay quietly. Little by little, true essence slowly flowed into it.

The Moonlight Gu suddenly burst into a faint blue light, trembling slightly in his palm, resisting the influx of true essence.

"Here it comes, an indispensable part of the refinement process, the battle of wills."

Yi Xin continued to pour in true essence, and the light of the Moonlight Gu became brighter and brighter.

After about two or three minutes, sweat broke out on Yi Xin's forehead. At this moment, the true essence he was inputting was getting less and less, almost cut off at the end.

"Failed? ... No, my true essence hasn't been cut off yet, and the Moonlight Gu is already full of my true essence, I must not give up."

Indeed, the light of the Moonlight Gu had reached its peak, as bright as a full-power electric light, and the entire room was filled with its light.

Huge drops of sweat fell, and Yi Xin's hands were shaking.

"Just a little bit more... Ah~ Aaaaaah!"

"Refine for me!"

A burst of unprovoked energy suddenly erupted from Yi Xin's aperture, directly setting off a huge bronze torrent, and blasted towards the Moonlight Gu.

Peng!

Moonlight Gu, refined!

But Yi Xin didn't have the strength to celebrate. His whole body was soaked in sweat, his eyes were scattered, he was panting heavily, and unknowingly, he fell asleep.

The Moonlight Gu excitedly leaped around in the aperture, stirring up wave after wave.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these moon orchid petals?" Yi Xin picked up a blue-pink petal still carrying dew and asked casually.

"Young man, you really have an eye for things. My moon orchid flowers were just picked at dawn. Let me tell you, if I say they're the second freshest, no one dares to claim they're the first."

"Of course, the price is also very fair, ten yuan stones for ten petals." The shopkeeper introduced with a smile on his face.

"I want 20 petals." With that, Yi Xin took out two yuan stones from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Okay, I'll get them for you right away." This shopkeeper was quick-witted and didn't forget to chat with customers while getting their goods to build rapport.

"Looking at you, young man, you must have just entered the academy not long ago, right?"

"Yeah." Yi Xin wandered around the store. There were many other Gu worm foods displayed on the counter behind.

"These moon orchid petals are mainly for feeding the Moonlight Gu. Basically, most people who have just entered the academy, their first Gu worm is the Moonlight Gu."

"Our Gu Yue clan's Gu Master lineages are all based on the Moonlight Gu." The shopkeeper continued to introduce.

"Is this Gu easy to refine?" Yi Xin asked.

"For people who are contacting Gu worms for the first time, it is definitely very difficult to refine. If someone refines it very easily, it means that he is very talented in this lineage."

Very talented? Yi Xin was stunned.

"Then, shopkeeper, are these types of Gu worms easy to raise?" Yi Xin asked again.

"They are considered relatively easy to raise. Most of what they eat are flower petals and dew. Except for the difficulty in keeping them fresh, the prices are quite cheap."

"Young man, if you have this idea, you can come to my store, and I'll give you a discount." The boss seemed to have discovered a business opportunity, staring at Yi Xin with shining eyes.

"Hehe, if I have this need, I will definitely come." Yi Xin walked to the shopkeeper.

The other party immediately handed over two wooden boxes, each containing 10 moon orchid petals.

"That's great. I'll get you the freshest ones then."

Yi Xin smiled faintly: "Then thank you, boss." Then he took the wooden box and left.

"One yuan stone for ten moon orchid petals, the Moonlight Gu eats 4 petals a day, the academy gave out 5 yuan stones at the beginning of the semester, and the family's savings are 6 yuan stones. Now I've spent two yuan stones, and I have 9 yuan stones left. I have to raise the Moonlight Gu and pick up medicine for my mother. Alas, it's hard to be the head of the household." Yi Xin walked towards the academy.

Three days have passed since he obtained the Moonlight Gu. Yi Xin inquired with the neighbors before coming to this store specializing in selling Gu worm food. I have to say that the quality is indeed very good. No wonder it has such a good reputation.

"I'm almost at the academy. Anyway, Fang Yuan must have successfully refined it, after all, he has the 500-year-old Spring Autumn Cicada. I guess this test will only be the two of us. I wonder how the academy will give the reward?"

Stepping into the hall, he saw a few candlelights flickering. The hall, which was usually full, was almost empty at this moment. Why almost? Because there was someone in one of the seats.

Fang Yuan was sleeping soundly on the table.

Yi Xin quietly sat down in the seat behind Fang Yuan. He had just sat down when he saw two people walking in hurriedly.

As soon as the academy elder entered the house, he said with a smile: "You truly deserve to be A-grade talents, Yi Xin, Fang Zheng. You really didn't disappoint me. Those B and C-grade peers, no matter how hard they try, can't compare to you. Hahaha."

"Elder, I'm Fang Yuan, not Fang Zheng." Fang Yuan seemed to be awakened by the academy elder. He slowly got up, yawning.

"Uh~" The academy elder's smile froze. He stared blankly at the two of them.

"Um, I'm Yi Xin."
