Chapter 856: Chapter 412: Supplementary Update in Progress...

[The following content is a discarded draft.

Apologies.]

As for the remaining five Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Wen Jiu bought three pounds of Demon Blood, preparing to cultivate the first Demon-eating Gu as soon as possible. According to the notes on "Demon-eating Gu Cultivation", the incubation period of the Demon-eating Gu is not long, about ten to twenty days.

Judging by the time, the first Demon-eating Gu is ready.

Three pounds of Demon Blood is definitely enough to cultivate it.

After buying the Demon Blood, Wen Jiu went to the original stall and spent two Low-grade Spirit Stones to purchase a technique—known as the Yin-Inviting Technique.

The foundational technique for cultivating Gu insects.

Also an auxiliary technique.

According to the Gu Master selling the Gu insect, once the Demon-eating Gu manifests its Life Pattern, it’s the last three days of the incubation period.

During these three days, the Yin-Inviting Technique can be continuously used.

Used at 3:00 AM.

And continuously chanted for one and a half hours.

Inviting a large amount of Yin Month’s yin energy into the Gu.

Letting its Life Pattern gradually become full, increasing its survival rate.

After returning to the Good House, Wen Jiu sits cross-legged cultivating, waiting for night to fall, completely ignoring the seductive allure outside the window.

Once it reaches 3:00 AM.

Wen Jiu places the Demon-eating Gu in the pitch-black Demon Blood, then sits cross-legged, activates the Yin-Inviting Technique, and begins chanting.

Only a hundred words.

But as the chanting and magical power are consumed, the Good House starts to get colder, increasing as time goes on.

But this cold air quickly flows into the Demon-eating Gu, causing it to throb like a heartbeat.

Thump—

Thump—

The pitch-black Demon Blood also ripples in response.

The scene is eerie yet delightful, as the Life Pattern continues to become full, and the life force within the Gu egg strengthens.

However.

The day after the Yin-Inviting Technique ended.

The Demon-eating Gu died!

The egg no longer had any life force!

"What’s going on!"

Wen Jiu was bewildered.

He had strictly followed the steps written in the "Demon-eating Gu Cultivation" notes, without a single oversight. He even spent two Low-grade Spirit Stones to learn the Yin-Inviting Technique to increase the survival rate of the Demon-eating Gu.

Yet after this night, why did it suddenly die?

What’s the situation?

Wen Jiu’s gaze was fixed tightly on the Life Pattern of the Demon-eating Gu, but the Life Pattern was full, showing no signs of wilting.

When dissecting the Gu egg and carefully observing the already formed Demon-eating Gu, there was no abnormality to be seen.

No injuries.

No deformities.

Exactly as described in the "Demon-eating Gu Cultivation" notes.

Could it be a problem with the Demon Blood?

With this doubt, Wen Jiu carefully studied the pitch-black Demon Blood, judging from smell, texture, and demon energy, just ordinary Tier One Black Demon Tiger Blood, with no differences.

At least as a Demon Slayer, he found no anomalies.

During this time, he took the dead egg to see that Gu Master, but the Gu Master was unwilling to say anything.

Only told him that if cultivating Demon-eating Gu was so simple, why would I be selling the Gu eggs?

If you want to know the reason, you can purchase the complete Tier One Lower Grade Gu Master inheritance, which only requires thirty Low-grade Spirit Stones.

Because of this.

Wen Jiu was speechless and angry.

They actually pulled this trick!

When selling the Gu eggs and the Yin-Inviting Technique, not a word about these issues!

Turns out they consider me a fool to be exploited!

Fine!

I’ll remember you!

Is it Qi Lan Gu Master!

Helpless.

Wen Jiu thought about looking for a pirated version, but in this world, the monopoly of knowledge is terrifyingly strict.

There are no pirated versions.

Not even people getting rich off this kind of business.

There are several reasons, the most important being—a rule between cultivators.

Once someone selling pirated versions is discovered, they must be killed on the spot.

They even gave this rule a name—"Law Shall Not Be Lightly Passed Down!"

No choice, Wen Jiu had to slowly explore and research on his own.

Then he put the remaining ten Demon-eating Gu eggs into the Demon Blood, carefully observing them for several days.

Soon.

Wen Jiu found a clue.

No Demon-eating Gu egg was any different.

Except for the 3:00 AM yin energy within the eggs.

The egg with slightly more yin energy at 3:00 AM had a life force slightly stronger than the others, although very weak, Wen Jiu felt it after several days of meticulous observation. At this moment, Wen Jiu thought of something.

Perhaps the Yin-Inviting Technique can always be used on the Demon-eating Gu.

Thinking of this.

Wen Jiu decided to do it.

Once 3:00 AM came, he began using the Yin-Inviting Technique.

To avoid excessive yin energy at 3:00 AM, Wen Jiu didn’t chant for one and a half hours, but only half an hour.

Only appropriate amounts.

Observe for a few days then decide.

After a few days of observation, a situation made Wen Jiu very happy.

Among them, the Demon-eating Gu egg with the strongest life force, after several days of assistance from the Yin-Inviting Technique, its life force became as strong as the Demon-eating Gu that had previously manifested the Life Pattern, and after another two days, it suddenly manifested the Life Pattern!

"This..."

This made Wen Jiu both surprised and delighted.

Like discovering a new continent.

It turns out the Yin-Inviting Technique can be used before the Gu insect manifests its Life Pattern, not only after.

It’s just a matter of strictly controlling the time.

In the following three days, Wen Jiu bought three more pounds of Demon Blood, and at 3:00 AM, sung the full one and a half hours to aid the Demon-eating Gu.

After 3:00 AM on the third day, the scene Wen Jiu expected occurred.

The egg was torn open.

A mosquito-sized Demon-eating Gu slowly emerged, landing on top of the egg.

"Finally succeeded!"

At this moment.

Wen Jiu was exceptionally excited.

Though he had long learned not to be happy with things and not to grieve for himself.
