Around the spring, a large number of blue flowers are planted, which are first-level Gu materials called Water Blue Flower.
The petals of the water blue flower can be used to feed the water arrow gu.
Water Arrow Gu is common in the East China Sea, but it is the most important Gu in the Yu family.
Because the Yu family possesses a formula for refining the Water Arrow Gu from level one to level five.
Ximen Yan observed these beautiful aquamarine flowers.
Among them, one can see some shimmering white specks of light; these specks are the Hope Gu.
Among the many water violets, there is a path leading to the sacred spring.
Ximen Yan knew that as long as he followed the path towards Yuanquan...
He hoped that the Gu would open his mind on its own.
Ximen Yan turned to look at Yu Qishui and the old man. 1.8 "You two go out and wait."
Even if it is discovered that he came here to gain enlightenment.
Ximen Yan wouldn't care.
He is very confident in his abilities.
However, Ximen Yan was worried that Yu Qishui and that old man hadn't figured it out before he discovered it.
They might do something impulsively.
It's definitely impossible to hurt him.
But if it hinders his enlightenment...
Even if he killed Yu Qishui and that old man, it would be of no use.
Because unless the second void is used.
Otherwise, a person can only have enlightenment once in their lifetime.
Therefore, Ximen Yan chose to kick the person out.
"It's an adult."
Yu Qishui readily agreed.
He then immediately led the elder away.
Chapter 518 Enlightenment, Grade D Qualification
After Yu Qishui and the old man left.
Ximen Yan carefully sensed this space using his Observation Haki.
Although it has some Gu-like aura, it's not very strong.
They were unaware that they were being monitored.
It is clear that Yu Qishui is quite honest.
Without further hesitation, Ximen Yan headed straight for Yuanquan.
One step, two steps... as he drew closer.
Ximen Yan inexplicably felt some pressure.
At the same time, several bright white specks of light flew out from the light blue flowers next to it.
After getting close to his body, it slowly melted into his body.
As Ximenyan continued to advance.
More and more Hope Gu flew out.
At the same time, that inexplicable pressure grew stronger and stronger.
But this was nothing to Ximenyan.
Despite the pressure, Ximen Yan's steps remained steady.
Ten steps, eleven steps, twelve steps.
At that moment, Ximen Yan seemed to hear a loud bang.
The cluster of light between the two kidneys in the abdomen accumulated to its limit and suddenly exploded.
Ximen Yan felt a sense of mystery.
My hair stood on end, and my mind suddenly tensed up.
My mind went blank, and my body felt limp, as if I were floating on a cloud.
The mind relaxes, and the sweat gradually subsides.
This process may seem long, but it actually only takes a moment.
Ximen Yan was only momentarily lost in thought before quickly regaining his composure.
However, Ximen Yan's expression was not very good at this moment.
His aptitude seems rather pitiful!
Hoping for a lucky break, Ximen Yan focused his attention on investigating.
A hole was discovered in the abdomen, below the navel and between the two kidneys, which is the basic opening for Gu Masters to cultivate.
The void is extremely mysterious.
Although it resides within his body, it does not share the same space as the internal organs.
It can be described as infinitely large, or it can be described as infinitely small.
The entire cavity is spherical, with a faint white light flowing across its surface, which is called the light membrane.
That is, the wall of the orifice.
Within the walls of the aperture lies the Primordial Sea.
Ximen Yan focused his attention on examining the Yuan Sea. The seawater within the Yuan Sea was azure in color, yet it also shimmered with a coppery luster.
This is the bronze true essence of a first-stage Gu Master.
The cultivation of a Gu Master involves constantly flushing the walls of their acupoints with the seawater of their Yuanhai (Primordial Sea).
The light membrane of a first-level Gu Master will slowly turn into a water membrane under the washing of bronze true essence.
This means that a first-stage Gu Master has entered the middle stage of the first stage.
After further rinsing, the water film transforms into a stone film, marking the transition to a higher level.
When the stone membrane transforms into a crystalline membrane, it reaches the peak of the first transformation.
To advance to the second-tier Gu Master.
It is necessary to use true essence to wash and break the crystal film.
Afterwards, a new light membrane will form in the cavity, which will allow you to advance to the second stage.
At this time, the original bronze true essence will also transform into red iron true essence.
The aptitude of a Gu Master is related to the true essence within their Yuan Hai (a concept in Chinese metaphysics).
The more true essence one has within the Yuan Sea, the easier it is to break through.
The less true essence one has, the more difficult it is to break through.
Among those with the Ding-level aptitude, the true essence within the Yuanhai only occupies two to three tenths of the empty aperture.
Generally, the highest one can cultivate is to become a first or second level Gu Master.
With a grade C aptitude, the true essence within the Yuanhai (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine) occupies 40-50% of the empty aperture.
Generally, one can become a second-level Gu Master, and a small number can break through to become a third-level Gu Master.
With a Grade B aptitude, the true essence within the Yuanhai (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine) occupies 60-70% of the empty aperture.
With hard work, becoming a third-level Gu Master is not a problem, and it is even possible to break through to a fourth-level Gu Master.
With first-class aptitude, the true essence within the Yuanhai (a type of spiritual energy) occupies eight or nine tenths of the void.
Breaking through to the fourth level of Gu Master is basically not a problem, and one can even cultivate to the fifth level of Gu Master.
Above Grade A Qualities, there are Ten Absolute Bodies, which are the ten layers of true essence within the Yuan Sea occupying the void.
Breaking through the Ten Absolute Body Techniques can be said to be effortless.
However, the Ten Absolute Body Techniques have the potential to self-destruct when they reach the third or fourth stage of transformation.
Therefore, it is actually very difficult to cultivate to the fifth level of Gu Master.
As for becoming a Gu Immortal, that is even more difficult.
Because if a person with a Ten Absolute Physique wants to become a Gu Immortal, they must use a corresponding Immortal Gu to explode their orifices.
The Immortal Gu is unique; many sixth-rank Gu Immortals do not possess it.
As for a fifth-level Gu Master who has not yet become an immortal, even if they possess the Ten Absolute Physiques, it can only be described as wishful thinking to try to obtain an Immortal Gu.
Not to mention the immortal Gu that corresponds to one's constitution.
Unless, of course, the Ten Absolute Body has an extremely profound background.
Of course, the Ten Absolute Body Techniques have nothing to do with Ximen Yan.
Because his aptitude is only Grade D, his True Essence Sea only occupies 21% of his Void Aperture!
This is basically the worst possible qualification.
Less than 20% are simply incapable of enlightenment and remain ordinary people.
"This is troublesome. It seems I need to find a way to improve my qualifications."
Ximen Yan stared intently at his own Yuanhai and muttered to himself.
There's no way around it, it's a 20% qualification requirement.
Even with diligent practice, it would take several years to break through to the second stage.
He doesn't have that much time to hone his skills.
Therefore, it is essential to improve one's own qualifications.
Fortunately, although the qualifications are poor, there are still some.
Otherwise, he would have to find a way to awaken the power of the Five-Rank Human-Power-Winning Heavenly Gu.
This kind of Gu can only be obtained by trading directly with a Gu Immortal.
Otherwise, finding the Human-Power-Overcoming-Heaven Gu would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Improving one's qualifications is a bit simpler.
Ximen Yan's first thought was naturally to use the Blood Skull Gu, which raised the protagonist's aptitude from Grade C to Grade A at 843.
However, Ximen Yan soon abandoned the Blood Skull Gu.
There's no other way; the Blood Skull Gu needs the blood of its own kind to improve its aptitude.
Not everyone's blood is useful.
This limitation prevented him from using it.
Besides the Blood Skull Gu, there are many other Gu worms that can improve one's aptitude, such as the Embryo Gu, Wood Source Gu, and Water Source Gu...
However, using other types of Gu besides the embryo Gu will cause some trouble.
Gu is the true essence of heaven and earth.
Mortal Gu is actually a fragment of a certain Dao, while Immortal Gu is a complete Dao.
Whether it's the Wood Source Gu or the Water Source Gu, after using it, corresponding Dao marks will be engraved on the body.
The Gu Master era was relatively mild, with minimal impact.
However, once one becomes a Gu Immortal, the phenomenon of mutual repulsion of Dao traces may occur.
Unless one ascends to immortality and becomes a Gu Immortal of the corresponding school.
