Chapter 47 — Ascension of the Core Gu (Part 2)
The next advancement was Steady Fortune Gu.
The Blazing Ember Gu consumed 999 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments from its Dao Repository to deduce the Rank Three advancement recipe.
Once the deduction was complete, Li Tianyu purchased the required refinement materials separately.
After three days of refinement...
Rank Two — Steady Fortune Gu
became
Rank Three — Balanced Fortune Gu.
Next came Healing Ember Gu.
The Blazing Ember Gu consumed 926 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments for the recipe deduction.
Li Tianyu then separately purchased the necessary refinement materials.
After another three days of refinement...
Rank Two — Healing Ember Gu
became
Rank Three — Vital Flame Gu.
Then came Burning Snatch Gu.
The recipe deduction consumed 701 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments.
Afterward, Li Tianyu purchased the required materials and spent three days refining it.
Rank Two — Burning Snatch Gu
became
Rank Three — Blazing Snatch Gu.
Then came Flame Gu.
The recipe deduction consumed 805 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments.
Once the recipe was obtained, Li Tianyu separately purchased the required materials.
After three days of refinement...
Rank Two — Flame Gu
became
Rank Three — Blazing Flame Gu.
One advancement after another...
Li Tianyu's core Gu worms were transformed.
His recovery.
His luck.
His healing.
His theft.
His offensive ability.
All of them were gradually being raised to Rank Three.
But one Gu worm remained.
The most important one.
The foundation of his entire physique.
Primordial Flame Embryo Gu.
Li Tianyu looked at it solemnly.
'Now... it's your turn.'
He commanded the Blazing Ember Gu to begin its deduction.
This time...
The Blazing Ember Gu entered an even deeper dormancy.
The deduction would take fifteen days.
When it finally awakened, the complete recipe appeared in Li Tianyu's mind.
Rank Two — Primordial Flame Embryo Gu
would advance into
Rank Three — Primordial Flame Core Gu.
The deduction had consumed 9,998 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments.
This was by far the most expensive deduction among his core Gu worms.
But the deduction cost was only the price of obtaining the recipe.
The actual refinement required an entirely separate set of materials.
Li Tianyu immediately began purchasing them.
After gathering everything...
He began the final refinement.
---
The room was filled with crimson flames.
Li Tianyu sat in the center of the refinement formation.
This refinement was different from the previous ones.
He wasn't merely refining a Gu worm.
He was also refining his own body.
The various materials gradually merged together.
Fire Path refinement killer moves continuously activated.
The temperature inside the room rose rapidly.
Finally...
The refining materials condensed into a semi-formed Gu worm.
A strange crimson mass of flame floated before Li Tianyu.
This was the crucial stage.
Li Tianyu's expression became solemn.
He followed the refinement recipe precisely.
The semi-formed Gu worm suddenly flew toward him.
It entered his body.
Boom!
A terrifying wave of heat erupted from within.
Li Tianyu's entire body trembled.
His bones.
His muscles.
His blood.
Even the deepest parts of his body began undergoing transformation.
Crimson flames emerged from his skin.
His hair fluttered violently.
His Rank Two Primordial Flame Physique began transforming.
The embryonic foundation of his physique was broken down.
Then rebuilt.
Again.
And again.
Li Tianyu endured the immense pain without making a sound.
The semi-formed Gu worm continued merging into his body.
The transformation lasted for several days.
At the final stage...
The flames surrounding Li Tianyu suddenly contracted.
All of them flowed back into his body.
Silence descended.
Li Tianyu opened his eyes.
A crimson glow flashed through them.
His aura had completely changed.
The transformation was complete.
His Rank Two Primordial Flame Physique had successfully advanced into a Rank Three Primordial Flame Physique.
At the same time...
The refinement was complete.
A faint smile appeared on Li Tianyu's face.
'Success.'
The final recipe deduction had cost him 9,998 Rank Three Gu Dao fragments, while the refinement itself had required the separate materials he had gathered beforehand.
It had been expensive.
But Li Tianyu didn't regret it.
This wasn't merely another Gu worm.
It was the foundation of his entire physique.
With his Rank Three Primordial Flame Physique...
He could finally break through to Rank Three cultivation.
He could also begin using Rank Three permanent enhancement-type Gu worms.
His previous limitation had finally been broken.
Li Tianyu slowly stood.
His aura was considerably stronger than before.
He clenched his fist.
His eyes flashed.
Over this period...
His cultivation hadn't changed.
But his foundation had undergone a complete transformation.
His core Gu worms had advanced.
His physique had advanced.
His recovery had improved.
His theft ability had improved.
His offensive ability had improved.
And his overall combat system had become far more complete.
Li Tianyu looked toward the outside world.
'Now...'
'I'm truly ready to advance to Rank Three.'
He had spent a long time preparing for this moment.
And finally...
Everything was in place.
The next step...
Was his cultivation breakthrough.
