The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

The screams and cries of the crowd continued, and before long, the area was drenched in blood, with corpses scattered everywhere. The battle was extremely brutal.

Long Xuan, holding a Image Recording Gu, recorded this gruesome scene with a heavy heart.

“Huh?”

The ancestor of the Feng family finally noticed this peculiar individual. Upon realizing that this person had recorded all his actions with the image Recording Gu, his face turned dark, and he was furious.

He rushed over, enraged, his face terrifying.

Seeing this, Long Xuan quickly put the Recording Gu into his insect-rearing pouch and then turned to run.

“You dare record this!”

The Feng family ancestor struck with anger, landing a heavy blow on Long Xuan’s back. Blood spurted from Long Xuan’s mouth as he was sent flying forward.

However, whether intentionally or not, his position was rather tricky.

As he was sent flying, he landed directly in the herb garden. He twitched a couple of times on the ground, and with the help of the Water Bear Gu, he managed to hold on to his breath and feigned death, giving no chance for a finishing blow.

This was a herb garden guarded by the Dream Butterfly Gu, and the Feng family ancestor did not dare to enter.

To avoid being finished off, Long Xuan pretended to be dead by lying in the herb garden.

From the outside, it looked like his heart had been destroyed, making it seem like he was certain to die. However, with the Water Bear Gu in his possession, even if he wanted to die, it would be difficult.

The Feng family ancestor was very confident in his strike, believing that it had completely destroyed Long Xuan’s heart. Even with a Little Strong Gu, it would be impossible to survive.

Even if the body was not in the herb garden, he would not bother to deliver the finishing blow.

The only thing he regretted was that Long Xuan’s storage pouch and insect-rearing pouch had fallen deep inside the herb garden, right under the feet of a rabbit. The rabbit, after a moment of confusion, picked them up.

There was no way he could retrieve anything from the herb garden, which made him slightly regretful.

Of course, a storage pouch belonging to a Gu practitioner in the Spirit Gathering stage was not something that a Gu King like him would care about, so its loss was not a big deal.

After dealing with this nuisance, he felt relieved and continued the massacre, slaughtering the remaining Gu practitioners.

Before long, all the sounds had ceased, leaving only blood covering the ground and the pungent smell of blood in the air.

The two Gu Kings exchanged a smile and then left together.

After they left, the area fell into a silence so deep that even the sound of a pin drop could be heard.

No one knew how long had passed when the sound of footsteps echoed again. Step by step, someone walked towards the area.

The rabbit looked at the person who entered, then at the corpse lying in the herb garden, tilting its head in confusion. These two people looked exactly the same.

“What the heck! What happened here? So many people died!”

“Luckily, I didn’t come in myself. Having my clone come in instead was indeed a wise decision. It’s a good thing I had foresight.”

When Long Xuan’s main body entered the area and saw the countless corpses and blood, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in shock.

It wasn’t hard to guess that the wolves hidden among the sheep must have gone on a killing spree. He wondered how his clone fared, hoping that nothing had gone wrong.

Long Xuan quickly searched for his clone, and before long, he found the clone’s body in the herb garden.

Although his clone could fool others by playing dead, it could never fool his main body. Seeing that the clone was still alive, Long Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, despite knowing that his main body had arrived, the clone continued to play dead, indicating that there was something unknown. Therefore, Long Xuan did not rashly go over to pick up the clone.

He instinctively activated the Eye of Heavenly Secret and scanned the area, soon noticing large numbers of moving figures in the herb garden. He was startled.

What were those things? Completely invisible, except for their moving figures, indicating that there were living creatures there. Yet, he couldn’t see what they were with his naked eye, not even able to imagine their appearance.

He was utterly shocked. A creature that was completely invisible could kill anyone it wanted. If such a thing were to attack, it would be unstoppable.

No wonder the Fire clone dared not move while lying in the herb garden. Apart from himself, there were probably very few people who could accurately locate these creatures.

Suppressing his shock, Long Xuan quickly entered the herb garden and pulled the Fire Clone out. There were no unknown creatures around, so it was safe to just walk in and drag the clone out.

At the same time, he quickly assimilated the Fire clone’s memories, revealing a look of surprise as he quickly understood what had just transpired here.

The two Gu Kings had slaughtered everyone here just for a few hundred weeds. They were utterly insane.

However, their evil deeds were now fully recorded by Long Xuan, who smirked sinisterly.

According to the Fire clone’s memories, he had recorded everything they did using the Image Recording Gu.

Once such a spectacular scene was released, there would be an uproar.

Especially since the direct grandson of the ancestor of the Miao family had been brutally killed, the Miao family would undoubtedly go mad.

The more chaos, the better. It would keep them too busy to consider intercepting Long Lie, ensuring that everyone on the ship would be safe.

Indeed, Long Xuan was now confident that the bet was in his favor.

This herb garden, dangerous to others, was like a walk in the park for someone who could see the Dream Butterfly Gu. He could pick as much Spirit Surge Grass as he wanted without any issues.

Given these circumstances, who could outdo his harvest in the ancient tomb? Unless someone managed to take the Tomb-Guarding Treasure from the palace, this bet was practically won.

As long as he helped Long Lie win this bet, that Peak-grade Spirit Silkworm would be his. Long Xuan’s eyes gleamed.

After the Fire clone painfully woke up, Long Xuan didn’t waste any more time and used Treading Star Step to rush to the weakest point of the herb garden’s defense as quickly as possible.

He grabbed large handfuls of Spirit Surge Grass and stuffed them into his storage pouch without restraint. Meanwhile, his Eye of Heaven and golden finger were both activated, constantly monitoring the movements of the Dream Butterfly Gu.

As long as those creatures charged at him, he would quickly escape the herb garden.

However, he found that he might have overestimated these creatures’ speed. The Dream Butterfly Gu was fast, but not fast enough to catch up with his Treading Star Step.

This made things much simpler; he didn’t need to leave the herb garden. He just kept picking herbs.

When the Dream Butterfly Gu flew over, he simply dodged them. After all, they couldn’t catch him.

So, Long Xuan ended up playing with the Dream Butterfly Gu like they were pets. Before long, a whole group of Dream Butterfly Gu was chasing him, but they couldn’t even catch a glimpse of him.

Long Xuan was having a great time picking herbs.

Before long, his storage pouch was filled with 300 Spirit Surge Grass.

Even if he handed over 70% to the family, keeping 30% for himself was more than enough.

Feeling satisfied, Long Xuan stopped looting the herb garden.

He certainly had the ability to strip the entire herb garden of its Spirit Surge Grass, and he wanted to do so.

After all, who wouldn’t want more treasures?

However, the reality was that he didn’t have enough time. He had to leave the herb garden by daylight, leaving him less than half a day to rob the tomb.

Considering the time it would take to travel back and forth, he didn’t have much time left.

He needed to leave enough time to check the palace. What if he really could retrieve the Tomb-Guarding Treasure? What if his golden finger could neutralize the dangers in the palace? These were uncertain possibilities.

Although even the Gu Kings couldn’t take the Tomb-Guarding Treasure, that didn’t mean he couldn’t.

Take this herb garden, for example. Even the Gu Kings couldn’t do anything about it, didn’t he just conquer it with his golden finger?

He was someone who knew how to make decisions, never greedy. Since the Spirit Surge Grass was already sufficient, he wouldn’t be blinded by these small gains.

The Tomb-Guarding Treasure in the sleeping palace was the real prize, worth a hundred times more than the entire herb garden. He had to avoid losing the bigger picture for these small gains.

With this mindset, the herb garden was spared from being completely looted.
