After thinking about it until now, Fang Yuan finally understood what a Vital Gu was.

According to the monster race, it was to connect the bloodline of a Gu worm to their own body and fuse with it, thus stimulating the double potential, also adding to the Gu worm.

As it forced out all of its potential, this also caused a monster to only be able to bind with one Vital Gu in its entire life.

On the other hand, humans did not have the unique conditions of the monster race.

Whether it was their physique or affinity to the elements, they were weaker by several levels. They were not even close at all.

Therefore, if humans used their method of refining Vital Gu directly on themselves, they would only explode and die from the powerful bloodline shock of the supplementary materials, unless their physique could be compared to the monster race.

Fang Yuan had consumed Gu wine all year round and thought that among his peers, his physique was already at the top, but compared to the monster race, he still had a long way to go.

He could not even compare to the light chasing thunder tiger!

Thus, the human race’s Vital Gu refinement method came into being.

The human race’s Vital Gu refinement method modified the most important step in the monster race’s Vital Gu refinement method.

It allowed the Vital Gu that shared potential to absorb the bloodline.

Originally, it should have fused with the Gu master as one, but now it was parasitic on the Gu master’s various body parts.

For example, Fang Yuan’s True Sight Gu could be refined into his eyeball, enhancing his vision while also possessing the original ability of the True Sight Cru.

It sounded terrifying, but in reality, it was the bloodline of the Gu being refined, sharing its ability with the Gu master.

It was not a Gu worm that could be stuffed into his eye.

Compared to the Gu refinement method of the monster race, which could increase one’s strength by several times, it was much weaker.

But this was something that could not be helped.

Moreover, there was a huge drawback.

The fused body parts could not be refined and replaced by another Vital Cru, and the Vital Gu itself could not evolve.

It was equivalent to being bound to this one for a lifetime.

Although there were many parts of the human body that could be used to refine Vital Gu, once the cultivation was successful, the disadvantage of not being able to evolve would cause many Gu worms to become less and less useful, until they were abandoned by the Gu master.

This was the problem Fang Yuan urgently wanted to solve.

In Gu Luan’s memories, the new generation of monster race’s Gu refinement methods were much better than those of the ancient times.

Among them, the biggest change was that the fused Vital Gu could materialize and fight side by side with its owner.

But this was not of much help to Fang Yuan’s confusion.

Thus, he needed to find a person who had already refined Vital Gu and ask for their personal feelings.

Yes!

He would also do some experiments.

The Wan clan was rather famous in the capital.

Fang Yuan asked for directions from a few passersby and quickly found his destination.

However, at this moment, there were white lanterns hanging above the main door of the Wan clan’s residence. The door was ajar and it was deserted inside. There was not a single guard or attendant.

“Could it be that something happened?”

He was puzzled.

Fang Yuan passed through the front courtyard and turned the long corridor. To his surprise, he found a pair of candles placed in the front hall with offerings.

There was a memorial tablet at the back. It seemed to be for Wan Qian’s elder.

“Senior? I am Fang Yuan, are you there?”

Fang Yuan gathered his spirit essence in his throat and called out.

Not long after, there was a sound coming from the backyard. Wan Qian was dressed in plain clothes, she walked over slowly, her face was filled with deep fatigue, and she looked extremely haggard.

Seeing Fang Yuan, she forced a smile. “Junior Fang, Why are you here?”

“The sect instructed me to bring people to participate in the Gu Dao convention, and you are one of them, so I came to inform you.”

Fang Yuan slowly walked up and said softly, “What happened?”

Wan Qian looked back at the token in the hall and could not help but shed tears.

“My father went out on a business trip… he died…”

Fang Yuan was shocked.

The Wan clan was a famous clan in the capital. When the clan head went out, he would at least bring a Fusion Realm Gu master to protect him, right?

With this strength, as long as they did not go to dangerous areas, there would definitely be no problems.

After all, powerful demon beasts had territorial consciousness, they would not easily enter areas where humans frequented.

Thus, Fang Yuan asked in detail.

But Wan Qian did not want to say much. She was in a low mood.

“Junior, I plan to leave the sect for a period of time, please report it to the sect, in the near future… I won’t be going back.”

“Senior…”

Fang Yuan looked at this woman who had helped him before and felt a little apologetic. Il ls there anything I can help you with?”

“Don’t worry about me…”

Wan Qian raised her palm and gathered spirit essence. “I have already consumed the clan’s inheritance pill, my strength has increased greatly and I have the ability to protect myself. After I settle the family

matters, I will return to the sect.”

Fang Yuan looked at her.

Wan Qian was already a fifth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master, but because she had consumed the pill, her realm was unstable and her Qi was fluctuating, but she was still above the fourth layer. It was just that she could not use her full strength.

Her actions were to reassure Fang Yuan and get him to not interfere in this matter.

He smiled bitterly. “Senior, actually, whether it is because we are fellow disciples, or… sigh, there is no need to be so distant.”

Wan Qian opened her mouth, wanting to ask him what the second half of his sentence was, but after hesitating for a while, she still didn’t say it.

Fang Yuan, on the other hand, took a quick step forward, opened his arms, and pulled her into his embrace.

“What… what are you doing…”

Wan Qian panicked. Even though it wasn’t the first time they had hugged, as a girl, she still couldn’t suppress the shyness in her heart.

She struggled for a while, but was hugged even tighter.

Fang Yuan said gently in her ear, “Senior, no matter how big of a problem it is, you still have me. If you have any difficulties, just say it.

Don’t be embarrassed to tell me.’

Wan Qian’s body gradually relaxed and she began to enjoy this feeling.

Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable sense of security in Fang Yuan’s embrace, touching his warm and strong chest.

Her hands, which were hanging down, slowly moved up and rested on Fang Yuan’s back.

Fang Yuan patted her back gently to comfort her.

“Tell me if you’re unhappy, okay?

Hearing his gentle voice, the grievance that had been suppressed in Wan Qian’s heart for a long time could no longer be contained, and she burst into tears.

Fang Yuan sighed. “Let it out, let it out, just cry it all out.”

After a long while, she lifted her head slightly and rested it on Fang Yuan’s shoulder. Her emotions were slightly stablized.

“Thank you, Junior.”

“Why are you being so polite?”

Fang Yuan smiled and lowered his head to help her tidy up her hair that had been stuck to her face by the tears.

Wan Qian enjoyed this moment very much. There was a warmth that she had not felt in a long time.

“After father passed away, mother was also bedridden because of this. ”

Wan Qian suddenly said softly, “From then on, the people in the residence left and dispersed. The property of the Wan clan was also suppressed overnight by the joint efforts of people. The losses were huge. Even the primeval stone mine was occupied by someone.”

Fang Yuan was shocked.

The Wan clan even had primeval stone mines?.
