My Gu Can Cultivate on Their Own

Chapter 47: Dao Seeking Trialf

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After borrowing a few books from the scripture depository that might contain the power of Yin-Yang, the sky was already dark.

Fang Yuan did not have the intention to sleep, so he continued to read by candlelight at night.

Hard work paid off. On the third day, he finally found some records about the power of Yin-Yang in one of the books.

[Yin-Yang] : One of the origin powers, when combined with the primal purple Qi, it can help one gain enlightenment and cultivate.

Just this sentence.

Although Fang Yuan did not know what the primal purple Qi was, he was not unfamiliar with the word ‘enlightenment’ in the second half of the book.

Up until now, he had only experienced a handful of epiphanies.

And every epiphany meant a huge increase in strength.

Could it be that the Yin-Yang Energy could directly guide the Gu worms into an epiphany state?

Fang Yuan could not help but feel excited, immediately trying it out.

He concentrated on guiding a wisp of purple Yin-Yang energy into the secondary Platinum grade Cloud Moon Gu.

Half a day passed.

When Fang Yuan’s Yin-Yang energy was about to be used up, the system’s notification finally sounded.

[Ding, Your Cloud Moon Gu has absorbed a large amount of Yin-Yang energy, its quality has been upgraded to Platinum!]

[Your Cloud Moon Gu’s skill has been greatly strengthened!]

Here it comes!

Fang Yuan willed and activated his Phantom Step. Instantly, his body was like a ghost, moving from one end of the courtyard to the other in the blink of an eye. It was more than twice as fast as when he was chasing after the rapist.

“Not bad.”

Fang Yuan was very satisfied.

He believed that the other skill had also been strengthened to a certain extent. When there was a chance to dual cultivate, the Yin-Yang energy he obtained would also increase.

That was all in the future. He did not even know if Wan Qian would agree to such a thing.

Although the two of them already had such unforgettable memories, their relationship did not become intimate because of that.

That day was just the result of an urgent matter.

The Dao seeking trial would officially begin tomorrow, so he had to rest well.

After Fang Yuan washed up briefly, he fell into a deep sleep on his bed.

Early in the morning, he was awakened by the gong sounds coming from the main peak.

He seemed to have overslept.

Fang Yuan hurriedly packed up and rushed to the main peak without stopping.

This place had long been surrounded by a large group of disciples.

Compared to the grand event of the outer sect competition, the number of participants was even higher.

Many disciples who were only at the Qi Refinement Stage signed up enthusiastically.

After all, this was a Dao seeking trial, testing a Gu master’s mind, not actual combat.

There was not such a high requirement for theoretical knowledge, and it was completely dependent on a Gu master’s attitude towards cultivation.

The so-called Dao seeking was to test whether a Gu master’s mind was stable under the circumstances where their strength were roughly equal.

Because everyone had a different Dao, and only those with a firm mind could go further on the path of cultivation, this time, there were even more tables in the square.

On each table was a piece of paper, pen and ink for answering questions.

After Fang Yuan received his number plate, he found his own table and sat down.

It was still the same old long-bearded old man who started his speech last time, only announcing the rules after the long speech.

“This year’s exam is very simple, there are only three questions.”

“First, why do Gu masters nurture Gu?”

“Second, why do Gu masters refine Gu?”

“Third, why do Gu masters use Gu?”

“After answering, you can hand in the paper directly, there is no chance to change it after.”

“Time is limited to one incense stick, those who do not finish will be disqualified.”

“Now, the competition begins!”

…

“The questions are quite open, there does not seem to be a standard answer.”

Fang Yuan held his chin. He did not have any inspiration, and he did not know how to write it.

One incense stick was about thirty minutes long. It was neither long nor short.

If he was in a daze, this time would pass quickly.

He turned his head and saw a disciple’s answer.

“Be it nurturing Gu, refining Gu, or using Gu, the three of them go from shallow to deep, all for the word ‘immortal.’”

“We Gu masters have been arrogant all our lives, standing outside the secular world, inside the grotto-heaven blessed land, absorbing the World Spirit Essence, plucking the Yin of the dragon and Yang, all for the sake of bringing glory to the clan and creating good fortune for the world…”

Great, he had met a delusional youth.

This entire article was filled with high and mighty things, mostly describing how he obtained great power through the two steps of raising Gu and refining Gu, and then using Gu to give feedback to the world, helping all living beings.

It was complete nonsense!

The Gu Immortal Sect did not have many disciples going out to travel for a year.?How could it be as harmonious as he wrote? Like they would go out to help others whenever they had free time.

He had never heard that mortals in the secular world loved them Gu masters so much.

The two were originally from different worlds. They were not people from the same world.

Fang Yuan could not bear to watch it anymore.

He was taking it for granted.

He started to use true vision Gu’s ability to check the answers of the disciples further away.

In any case, the rules did not say that he could not use other people’s answers. It was not against the rules.

In the end, after looking around, he realized that there were more than one delusional youth present.

More accurately speaking, most Gu masters’ answers were very similar to the first one.

Basically, they talked about how great they were, how they would help the weak when they became stronger, and how they would help the people eliminate evil.

“Forget it, write it yourself, there are no normal people here.”

Fang Yuan raised his pen and started writing on the paper.

He felt that if he wanted to become an immortal, he had to be a good person first.

Be it raising Gu, refining Gu or using Gu, they were all for people, for himself and the important people around him.

As a Gu master, with great strength, he should know that the greater one’s ability, the greater the responsibility.

He should use this ability to protect the people he cared about.

Fang Yuan had always done this.

He would not be merciful to his enemies. He killed them when he needed to, leaving no loose ends.

Towards outsiders, he would do his best to obtain the greatest benefits, showing no mercy at all.

But he was also very kind to his parents and friends. If their lives were threatened, he would not hesitate even if he was injured.

Fang Yuan slowly summarized his experience after entering the secular world and recorded it on the paper as an answer.

Unknowingly, he wrote two whole pages.

After double-reading and confirming that there were no problems, he raised his hand to signal that he was done.

The examiner was very familiar with him. He walked over to take the paper and asked with a smile, “Do you want me to help you send it directly to the sect leader?”

“Will the other disciples have any objections if they see it?”

“The top 100 in the outer sect competition all have the right to directly let the elders observe them. You are naturally no exception.”

“What about the others?” Fang Yuan asked curiously. This time, almost half of the people from the sect had arrived for the Dao seeking trial. With so many answers being seen by the eight elders, they would probably not be able to finish reading all of them in half a month.

“All their answers will be accepted. Each elder will pick ten random answers and read them in person. The rest can only be read by their personal disciples. If they find it interesting, they can read it for the elders.”

The examiner said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Of course, if the disciples are lazy, these answers can only be treated as garbage.”

“How tragic.”

“Isn’t that so?”

The examiner smiled. “I’ll send yours over first. See you later.”

“Thank you, Martial Uncle.”

“You’re welcome..”
