I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 876 Gu Insect
"You kid..." Li Ming pointed at Li Tianyun with a smile. When he passed by this place, he had a feeling that there was an opportunity here. He didn't expect that it should be here. If he hadn't made friends with the Li family, he might not have had this opportunity. But since he accepted it, he had to give something in return. Just waking up Sun Sanniang was far from enough.

Seeing Li Ming's agreement, Li Tianyun couldn't help but smile. Then Li Ming said seriously, "Take money from others and give them relief. Since I have accepted your things, I will naturally not stand idly by. Tell me the details of the six-winged centipede, and maybe I can get some clues."

Li Tianyun had no objection, racking his brains to recall every detail, a feat only someone as meticulous as him could muster. While the others, in their flustered state, could barely recall anything, Li Tianyun not only remembered everything, but also described it in vivid detail, including the various reactions of the man in black after he spat out the centipede.

Li Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Then I probably know."

"What kind of poisonous insect is this?"

"This is not a poisonous insect," Li Ming shook his head.

"There's a strange technique in Southern Xinjiang called Gu Shu. Have you ever heard of it?"

Li Tianyun was stunned. He grew up in this Jiangnan water town and had never even left Gantian Town. With limited experience, he could only shake his head at this moment.

Li Ming also knew that he probably didn't know, so he smiled and said, "Well, let me tell you about this Gu Dao!"

There are many dense forests in southern Xinjiang, so there are many poisonous insects and miasma. The local people in southern Xinjiang rely on the mountains and water for their livelihood. Since there are many poisonous insects and miasma in the local area, they naturally have corresponding methods to control it.

This Gu technique came into being. It is said that the founder of Gu Dao was a casual cultivator from the Central Plains. His qualifications were questionable. Although he admired the orthodox Xuanmen, he was not in the eyes of the big sects, and even the side sects did not look down on him. His skills were scattered, and they were all pieced together by chance. He had no idea how many times he had been looked down upon by the disciples of the big sects in his life, so he vowed to open a new path for the side sects.

After that, he traveled far and wide, hiding his identity and secretly learned eight hundred unconventional techniques. Although he had poor qualifications, his comprehension was excellent. Eventually, he settled in southern Xinjiang, adopted the local insect-raising methods of southern Xinjiang and improved them, and finally he figured out a very unique set of witchcraft.

Limited by his own poor qualifications, if he wanted to do what those immortal seniors did, he could only rely on external things, not to mention those rare treasures from heaven, even magic weapons were a luxury for him, so he found another way and got the poisonous insect!

There are countless poisonous insects in the southern border. Although they are called poisonous insects, in fact, not all of them are poisonous. It’s just that many spiritual insects have unique effects. This casual cultivator has spent decades in the southern border, exploring and investigating, and found that these strange insects can be used as magic weapons. Moreover, since these insects are living beings, it takes much less mana to drive them. This is simply great news for him.

Some Gu worms could even enhance the aptitude of cultivators. Thanks to this, he had elevated his inferior physique to superior, repeatedly breaking through barriers in his cultivation. His extended lifespan also afforded him more time to research. He gradually perfected the entire process of understanding the characteristics of these spiritual insects, how to enhance their abilities, and how to pair them together, or rather, mate them, to cultivate even more miraculous Gu worms, and even disseminated it in his later years.

The biggest feature of this method is that the threshold for entry is not high. Even ordinary people can follow the instructions to refine several special poisonous insects, which can roam freely in the mortal world. Of course, another feature of this poisonous insect is that if people know the shortcomings of this poisonous insect, it will be very easy to be targeted and the method can be easily broken by others.

Of course, if that were all, there would be nothing worth talking about. The most amazing thing is that this casual cultivator created a complete system for the promotion of Gu worms, from the first-level Gu worms that mortals can refine, to the second and third levels used by casual cultivators, to the fourth and fifth levels that can rival the Golden Core, and finally even the sixth level that can compete with the Nascent Soul, and the seventh level that can fight against the Primordial God. It is said that he left behind a Gu God in southern Xinjiang that was a fusion of various Gu worms that he had researched throughout his life. Perhaps it was no longer inferior to the cultivators who had transcended the tribulation, but an eighth-level Gu worm. According to legend, there was a possibility that the Gu God could reach the ninth level. At the ninth level, it would be an immortal among Gu, and it was possible that it could ascend to the fairyland.

It’s just that the Gu God and Gu Immortal are just rumors, no one has ever seen them.

However, the achievements of this casual cultivator were indeed extraordinary, and he was called Gu Zhenren by later generations. Although he died halfway and was killed by a real cultivator named Tang using the Skynet, his inheritance spread in southern Xinjiang, and the Gu Dao has continued to flourish ever since then!
The reason why Li Ming knew so clearly was thanks to Chi Yuexue. He was able to borrow the magic weapon from the Golden Silkworm Grandma, so he was naturally no pushover. Not only did he steal the Golden Silkworm Grandma's magic weapon, he also stole half of her Taoist book on cultivation. No wonder Yu Hua was fooled by him back then. This guy is really good.

And this Golden Silkworm Granny can be considered a legitimate Gu practitioner, and the Gu book in her hand is also an orthodox inheritance. The beginning of the book even states that she is the descendant of the Gu Master from the next generation. It's a pity that she was not very good at learning, and only learned one tenth of her master's skills, and the Gu book he left behind is less than half of her own. If future generations use this to practice, there will be a difference. Of course, this is not his deliberate trick on future generations. In fact, the most important thing in the way of Gu is innovation. If one blindly follows the path pioneered by predecessors, one will only stagnate.

Yes, he did it on purpose so that future generations could lay a solid foundation, and how to practice would all depend on themselves. It was just that the predecessor's original intention was good, but unfortunately it was not as good as expected later. Although the method of refining Gu by Gu cultivators was widely circulated, most of them were mediocre characters, and there were really few who were really powerful in recent years.

The best witchcraft master in the world of cultivation is the master of Grandma Jincan. The Green Robe Demon Ancestor is said to have reached the level of primordial spirit cultivation, and is already considered a giant in the world of magic. He always says that he holds the key to the God of Gu, and if anyone breaks into the southern border, he will not be afraid even if they are immortals who have undergone tribulation. However, for so many years, it has only been talk, and no one has actually seen it.

The Green Robe Demon Ancestor had a capricious and eccentric personality. Although he had many disciples, few of them had names or surnames, as most of them were killed by him. If the Golden Silkworm Granny was not his biological daughter, she would probably not have had such a glorious life.

Li Ming hid the affairs of the cult world and only casually told Li Tianyun a few words about the origin of the poisonous insect.

The focus was on the difficulty of the Gu Dao and the power of the Gu insects, which also made Li Tianyun marvel. He never thought that such a thing could exist in the world.
