The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Chapter 54: Acquiring the Millennium Ice Essence



Three Gu insects appeared: one was a golden ant with a huge pair of scissors at its mouth, which was precisely the exclusive High-grade Gu insect, the Vajra Gu, owned by Master Jin.

The second was a scorpion with two hooks, wielding a pair of large pincers. This was Emperor Xin's exclusive High-grade Gu insect, the Twin-Tailed Flying Scorpion.

The third was a centipede with knife-like spines along its sides, resembling a saw. This one came from a talisman master in the market, named the Sawtooth Centipede.

Goodness! In the entire market, only three rogue cultivators sold high-grade Gu insects, and Master Jin had collected them all.

Master Jin laughed heartily, "Among the rogue cultivators in the market, only three have High-grade Gu insects. I have collected all three types of High-grade Gu insects. With all three High-grade Gu insects together, who can be my match?"

Amidst his laughter, the three ferocious Gu insects charged fiercely at Long Xuan.

Long Xuan's expression slightly changed. He hurriedly patted his insect-raising pouch and threw out a still-sleeping Little white snake.

"Wake up quickly! Come out and face the enemy! In this battle, victory is the only option."

Little white was dazed by the throw but luckily woke up. It looked at the three attacking Gu insects with vigilant eyes. Although it was still confused and didn't know what was happening, something told it that it had to deal with these three Gu insects.

Gu insects are blood-bound to their Gu masters; they share glory and loss. If the Gu master dies, the Gu insect will also die. Therefore, even though little strong usually indulged in food and laziness and disliked fighting, it had to muster the courage to face the battle now.

Long Xuan showed a worried expression. These three High-grade Gu insects looked extremely fierce, equipped with scissors, hooks, and pincers, and even a saw. Bringing so many weapons to a fight seemed excessive.

In contrast, little white was pure white and smooth all over, with nothing on it, not even hands or feet. Could it really be reliable in a fight?

Fortunately, his worries were unnecessary. Peak-grade Gu insects are indeed peak, with an insurmountable gap between them and High-grade Gu insects, which cannot be overcome by mere appearance. Although the three High-grade Gu insects were heavily armed, their movements became slow once the slow domain was activated. They couldn't even touch little white, and the vajra Gu was knocked over by little white's tail.

At this point, Little white was fighting three at once, not only holding its ground but also gaining the upper hand, which was terrifying.

Seeing this, Long Xuan finally smiled.

On the contrary, Master Jin's face stiffened in disbelief. "How is this possible? Three High-grade Gu insects combined can't defeat it? This can't be real! Are you kidding me?" Master Jin shouted in frustration.

"No! It is a peak-grade Gu insect. You actually have the legendary peak-grade Gu insect!" Master Jin suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening with extreme greed as he looked at little white.

"Hahaha! Heaven is truly helping me! I didn't expect you to have a peak-grade Gu insect. If I kill you, I will be the only rogue cultivator in the market with a peak-grade Gu insect!"

Just a moment ago, Master Jin looked defeated, but now he was laughing heartily again.

Long Xuan didn't stay idle. It was inconvenient for a Gu master to fight alongside tiny Gu insects, so he couldn't intervene in that battle. Instead, he used the Five Elements Jade to madly attack the barrier that was blocking him.

"Hahaha! It's useless! This formation was set up by Di Xin herself at a high cost. It can't be easily broken with brute force. Stop wasting your energy!" Master Jin laughed and commanded his disciples, "Attack! Release all your Gu insects! I don't believe all our Gu insects combined can't defeat it."

The young disciples didn't hesitate and released their Gu insects. Over ten various Gu insects joined the battle, increasing the pressure on Little white.

Long Xuan wasn't sure if little white could handle it and didn't dare to take the risk. He decided to end the fight quickly, concentrating his 100% into the Five Elements Jade and throwing it at Master Jin's face.

Master Jin had no intention of dodging. He had already seen that although the move was powerful, it couldn't shake the trapping formation. There was no need to dodge. Little did he know that Long Xuan's previous attacks were just a performance. He could break the formation anytime, but timing was crucial for a surprise attack.

Seeing that Master Jin wasn't planning to dodge, Long Xuan smirked coldly and increased the power in his hand.

At the same time, the five clones outside the cave began breaking the formation. Under the Eye of Heavenly secret, all formations were exposed like sieves. Working together, they quickly broke the formation.

Thus, the barrier meant to block the Five Elements Jade suddenly disappeared, and the attack hit Master Jin squarely.

The situation unfolded too quickly. Master Jin had no time to react or defend, resulting in a disastrous outcome. Unprepared, he was struck by the full-force attack of the Five Elements Jade, shattering his upper body and killing him instantly.

Master Jin couldn't even scream before being killed. Even with a strong Gu insect, he couldn't survive such an injury.

Meanwhile, his Gu insects died from the backlash caused by his death. Without the High-grade Gu insects to hold little white's back, the battlefield turned into a one-sided slaughter. Little white fought with increasing ferocity, killing lower-tier Gu insects one after another until the ground was littered with corpses.

The remaining disciples of Master Jin turned pale. The sudden turn of events left them in shock. They couldn't understand how the formation failed and why Master Jin died so abruptly.

"Run!"

Seeing little white's unstoppable force, the terrified youths turned and fled, abandoning their Gu insects. But in the narrow cave, where could they escape to?

They ran straight into the five clones guarding the entrance, who greeted them with a barrage of various five elements jades.

The youths, who were of lower cultivation than Long Xuan, were no match for the five clones and were soon wiped out. The cave fell silent.

Long Xuan showed no mercy to those who tried to kill him. Ignoring the corpses, he immediately picked up Master Jin's storage pouch. Seeing that its contents were intact, unaffected by the battle, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly took Master Jin's gloves and, after putting them on, retrieved the Millennium Ice Essence from the storage pouch, his smile widening. Despite the danger, acquiring the essence made all his efforts worthwhile.

Feeling the bone-chilling cold, he put away his silly grin, stored the Millennium Ice Essence, and ordered the clones to clean up the battlefield and loot Master Jin's wealth. Master Jin had killed countless guests in his residence, amassing great wealth.

The rare materials for formations and a large number of weapon crafting books were invaluable treasures. Crafting skills couldn't be bought or learned casually but had to be passed down from masters. Learning to craft would allow him to create a huge alchemy furnace and start researching large-scale pill refining techniques.
