One Rank 5 and six Rank 4 transformation path Gu together were worth nearly one million primeval stones.
"Transformation Path has wide applications. If I master these two sets of Gu, I can reach Zhang Bai's level of combat strength. Unfortunately, I don't have the energy to cultivate it at the same time. Flame Path, Dream Path, Refinement Path, and Human Path are already enough for a lifetime."
Lin Yan felt some regret. After careful selection, he only kept the Rank 5 Gu Six-Armed Heavenly God Gu and the Rank 4 Cloud Bird Wing Gu.
The former was a Rank 5 Gu, something Ordinary Gu Masters could only dream of, enough to support the foundation of a large Family. It was a true trump card for Rank 5 experts. After studying the Flame Demon True Body killer move, Lin Yan also had a new idea and wanted to try integrating it into his combat system.
The latter came from a Gu recipe preserved within the Family. It was a flying-type Gu. Cloud Bird Wing Gu could be used as the main material to refine Flame Sparrow Wing Gu.
At the Rank 4 stage, flight was essential. The Family's flying Gu were strong, with Flame Sparrow Wing Gu and Red Glow Gu each having their own advantages.
In the end, Lin Yan decided to sell five Rank 4 Gu, worth around five hundred thousand primeval stones. Each of these Gu was valuable, and together they formed a considerable sum.
Next, he needed to find a buyer. Lin Yan did not need to worry about this. The most eager buyer was the Zhang Family. These two sets were clearly Inheritance Gu and could not be lost. Moreover, this was separate from compensation, allowing another round of extortion.
But Lin Yan did not have time to negotiate slowly. He went directly to Family Head Huang Ming and chose to trade with the Family, using five Rank 4 transformation path Gu in exchange for resources from the secret vault.
Huang Ming was slightly surprised. "Are you certain? If you deal with the Zhang Family, you can gain more."
"I am certain," Lin Yan replied calmly. "The Family has supported me. It is only right that I return something."
Hearing this, Huang Ming felt reassured. This was someone with both vision and loyalty. No matter what, he could not allow him to suffer a loss.
When they arrived at the secret vault, Lin Yan already had his target. He first chose White Silver Relic Gu. The stock had recovered from five to six, and he decided to take all of them, worth three hundred thousand primeval stones.
Huang Ming made the decision without hesitation. One transformation path Gu could be exchanged for three White Silver Relic Gu, using only two Rank 4 Gu while still giving extra value.
After that, Lin Yan turned his attention to two Otherworldly Flame Gu in the Family vault that had no Gu recipes. One of them was Sea Heart Flame Gu. In the past, the Family had faced a powerful Water Path expert, and their entire set of Gu from inheritance were countered, leading to a very embarrassing situation. Because of this, they spent a large amount to purchase this flame from an Eastern Sea merchant.
Seeing his choice, Huang Ming gave a bitter smile and shook his head. "You really know how to pick. Back then, this cost three hundred thousand primeval stones, and the transport alone was not cheap."
Lin Yan smiled, then selected another flame, Golden Jade Sharp Fire. This flame carried the sharp nature of Metal Path and was produced in Western Desert, costing one hundred thousand primeval stones.
"That's enough." After obtaining the two Otherworldly Flames, Lin Yan felt satisfied. It was extremely difficult to gather such flames in Western Desert. The remaining ones would either need to be refined by himself or bought from outside.
At the same time, he did not forget that he still had one final chance to choose a Gu from the secret vault. He decided to save it and wait until he reached Rank 5, then directly choose a Rank 5 Gu.
After leaving the secret vault, Lin Yan now possessed two Rank 4 Otherworldly Flame Gu and six White Silver Relic Gu. Without delay, he began to sort out his resources.
He first sold the Gu materials stored inside his Big Stomach Snake Gu, worth three hundred thousand primeval stones. At the same time, he also sold the various Gu he had obtained from hunting wild beasts in the wilderness earlier, which added another hundred thousand.
To feed the Six-Armed Heavenly God Gu and Cloud Bird Wing Gu, he first made requests to the Zhang Family. After confirming their feeding requirements, he kept Gu materials worth one hundred thousand and sold the rest, gaining around three hundred thousand primeval stones.
After reorganizing everything, Lin Yan now held more than one million primeval stones. At the same time, the Gu under his control were clearly arranged:
Rank 5: Six-Armed Heavenly God Gu
At Rank 4, he controlled Fusion Fire Gu, Dream Derivation Gu, Nine-Eyed Liquor Worm, Cloud Bird Wing Gu, Life Spirit Fire Gu, Mystic Yellow Earth Fire Gu, Sea Heart Flame Gu, and Golden Jade Sharp Fire Gu.
At Rank 3, he had Exploding Fireball Gu, Flame Armor Gu, Treading Fire Gu, Fire Eyes and Golden Gaze Gu, Fire Source Gu, Accumulated Ash Gu, Flame Blade Gu, Burning Wind Gu, Splash Gu, Sparks Gu, and Fire Claw Gu. Glass Flame Bone Gu and Fire Soul Gu had already been used and no longer remained.
In addition, he possessed two Elder Gu, Soul Travel Gu, Clear Mind Gu, six White Silver Relic Gu, Big Stomach Snake Gu, and Earth Kiln Gu. Strengthen Soul Gu had also already been consumed.
