Chapter 90: (2): Brainstorming the next Peak-grade Gu



In other words, this kind of clone must not stray too far from the original body, which is undoubtedly a significant limitation.

Additionally, the ability to assist the original body in cultivation and return the cultivation results is an extraordinary feature that Long Ziyan’s clone certainly does not possess.

Moreover, multitasking is already difficult. It’s impossible for her to control five tasks simultaneously. Therefore, having one external clone is already her limit; controlling more would be extremely difficult.

Comparing the functionalities in all aspects, Long Xuan still feels that his own clone is more advanced. No, it should be said it is a complete victory.

After taking his measurements, Long Ziyan’s clone walked over to a wooden machine and began weaving silk from the silkworm threads.

The textile machinery in this world is definitely different from those in his previous life. After a quick glance, Long Xuan found that the various textile machines from his previous life were still more advanced, with much faster work efficiency.

Unfortunately, the ability to transmigrate doesn\'t make one omnipotent. He really doesn’t know how to make these things; he wasn’t idly researching such useless things in his previous life, so after transmigrating, he lost an opportunity to show off.

"Dragon Silkworm Robe isn\'t something that can be made in a short time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

Long Ziyan sat quietly at a stone table, holding an ancient book in her hand.

Long Xuan casually glanced at the book she was reading and found it was written in another language that he couldn\'t understand, so he looked away.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally summoned the courage to ask, "I’d like to ask about the method of refining the Dragon Silkworm Gu. Of course, if it\'s not within the scope of inquiry, then just pretend I didn\'t say anything."

He had carefully considered asking for the recipe of the Dragon Silkworm Gu. Although it didn’t seem like something that could be easily taught, the elder had said that he was a key training target of the family, and most of the secrets not passed down could be learned unconditionally.

He wasn\'t sure if this included the Dragon Silkworm Gu recipe, but there was no harm in trying—at worst, he’d just be refused.

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of parchment with the Gu recipe flew in front of him. The words "Dragon Silkworm Gu Recipe" were prominently written on it.

Long Xuan was stunned. Is this for real? Things went too smoothly, making it hard for him to believe. Can he really learn all the Long Clan\'s inheritance without paying any price? Is this the special treatment for a genius in the Lobg family?

"Dragon Silkworm silk has always been in high demand in the Dragon Clan. I\'m not worried about competition; it\'s just that the success rate of refining the Dragon Silkworm Gu is only one in three thousand. So, I\'m the only one in the clan who has successfully refined one."

"If you want to refine the Dragon Silkworm Gu, be prepared for thousands of failures. Also, consider if you have enough wealth to sustain the massive initial investment. I won’t provide you with any resources for refining Gu."

"As for a second-Grade Dragon Silkworm Robe, I’ll give you an internal price—just one million contribution points!"

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan didn’t hesitate to take out his contribution token. With a scan of his mind, he quickly paid one million contribution points, causing his contribution balance to shrink once more.

After that, neither of them spoke. Long Ziyan was clearly not talkative and continued reading quietly.

Long Xuan, sitting across from her, didn’t disturb her again and quietly studied the Dragon Silkworm Gu recipe.

Of course, he had no intention of refining any Dragon Silkworm Gu. He already had the Dragon Silkworm Robe, and even if it were to be damaged one day, he could always ask his senior sister to make another one. There was no need to refine a Dragon Silkworm Gu himself.

What he really wanted was to surpass the current limits. By studying the Dragon Silkworm Gu, he intended to create a similar, but far superior, Gu recipe.

The silk produced by the Dragon Silkworm Gu is good, but it’s far from the best in the world. Among all silkworm-type Gu worms, the Dragon Silkworm Gu\'s silk doesn’t even rank at the top.

So, Long Xuan wasn’t impressed. He wanted to create his own—he wanted to create the world\'s strongest silk. Among all silkworm-type Gu worms, his silk Gu would be the best…

The Gu recipe didn’t contain many ingredients, just about a thousand, making it a high-grade recipe. Long Xuan quickly finished reading it.

Although there weren’t many words, understanding it was the hard part. Grasping the principles of the Dragon Silkworm Gu’s creation and figuring out the pattern of the recipe would undoubtedly be challenging and time-consuming.

After who knows how long, he finally had a vague inspiration.

He wasn’t after a silk Gu with powerful combat abilities. What he wanted was unique silk—he wanted to research the world’s strongest silk and create the world\'s best silkworm robe to further enhance his survival capabilities.

However, Long Xuan’s thought process was clearly different from normal people. After seeing the silkworm robes of this world, he noticed that the robes were just normal clothes, leaving the hands and head exposed. Aren’t these the weak spots? Once in combat with an enemy, these unprotected areas become fatal weaknesses.

He was notorious for being afraid of death, so the first thing that came to his mind was this issue.

Two weak spots on the upper body, and even worse for the lower body—most people in this world make only the robe, not the pants, because the lower body doesn’t have vital points and doesn’t require extra defense.

Even if someone wealthy did make a pair of pants, they would leave the soles of the feet exposed, which is another weakness that opponents could exploit.

His first thought was whether he could seal off the openings at the bottom of the silkworm pants, but then it seemed to resemble something else, making him feel something wasn’t right.

Who in this world would think of such a strange problem? Isn’t it normal for clothes to leave the hands and head exposed? Whose clothes aren’t like that? Probably only someone as peculiar as Long Xuan would think this way.

His thinking has always been different from others, and the first issue he thought of was how to seal the openings in the silkworm robe.

He immediately dismissed the idea of gloves and socks, as Gu worms could crawl in through the seams. Instead, he thought about making it one-piece.

But the real challenge was figuring out how to protect the head.

Completely sealing it off was impossible—it would obstruct breathing, vision, and hearing.

If he left an opening, the eyes wouldn’t be protected, becoming another weakness.

This gave Long Xuan a headache. How could he protect his eyes with silkworm silk? Achieving 100% coverage of the body was truly a global challenge.

However, this problem didn’t ultimately stump him. With his amazing creativity, he came up with the idea of breaking the conventional form of silkworm silk, and wondered, what if the silk spun by the silkworms wasn’t in a material form but in an energy form?

That’s right—Long Xuan was once again planning to defy the conventional wisdom of this world.

Could there be such a thing as energy-based silkworm silk in this world? A silk robe made from energy-based silk would be invisible to the naked eye, and could even merge with the skin, similar to the soul armor in novels—a non-material form that still provides super high defense.

If energy-based silkworm silk truly existed in this world, then it could definitely protect the eyes.

Once the soul armor merges with the skin, the earholes, nostrils, and eyes would no longer be weaknesses. He could achieve full coverage, with no weak spots.

Moreover, the conventional silkworm robes of this world mainly defend against physical attacks, but his energy-based silkworm robe would be unconventional.

Not only could it defend against physical attacks, but it would also protect against soul attacks, mental force attacks, sonic attacks, curse attacks, high-temperature attacks...

Long Xuan\'s eyes grew brighter, and his heart more excited. He thought this idea might actually work.

If this idea could truly be realized, it would be an unprecedented innovation, setting a new historical milestone.

This would be a groundbreaking invention that would shock the world and leave a significant mark in history books.

Long Xuan took a deep breath.

However, to truly achieve this concept, it would require an immense amount of time and effort to craft such a Gu recipe.

Once the capabilities of the Gu recipe are defined, the difficulty of creation will skyrocket. It’s impossible to predict how long it would take to develop such a Gu recipe. At least within the next two years, he shouldn\'t expect success—just the thought made Long Xuan feel an impending headache.

Shortly after this idea formed in his mind, Long Ziyan\'s clone finally completed the custom-made Dragon Silkworm Robe.

Long Xuan received the robe, expressed his gratitude, and then left without delay.

Seven days passed in a flash. All the Spirit Gathering stage Gu masters who were preparing to participate in the tomb-raiding operation had gathered at a place called the Training Ground, which was a large open space with a paved floor tiles all over the ground.

At this moment, about a hundred people had gathered here, but a full fifty percent of them were at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage, eager to break through.

Spirit Gathering stage Gu cultivators were not worth much in the Long family. These hundred people were just a small fraction of the Long family\'s Gu cultivators, and even fewer compared to those who participated in previous tomb-raiding operations.

After all, after the previous tomb raids, most of the valuable items in the tomb had already been taken, and the few remaining treasures were accompanied by great risks. Otherwise, they would have been taken long ago.

Even if someone were lucky enough to find a treasure, seventy percent of it had to be handed over to the family. Coupled with the now well-known dangers of the tomb, even fewer people were willing to participate.

However, participation in this tomb-raiding operation was entirely voluntary; the Clan would not force anyone to go.

Long Xuan arrived just in time. Although tomb raiding was never a completely safe task, he was determined to participate with his main body.

Because his main body had a "golden finger" that could locate formation bases and break formations, and see hidden mechanisms. With the assistance of this golden finger, he could avoid ninety percent of the dangers in the tomb.

His clone did not have the golden finger to bypass various formations and traps, so it was very likely to be lost in the ancient tomb. Therefore, Long Xuan was not comfortable handing this task over to his clone.

Moreover, without the assistance of the golden finger, the clone might miss out on seemingly insignificant treasures.

Not everything could be left to the clone; his main body needed to go out and stretch his muscles from time to time. If he always stayed at home, it would indeed be completely safe, but if his main body never participated in any battles, how would he develop a combat mindset for the future?

"Adversity leads to survival; comfort leads to death!"

This belief was also the reason that drove Long Xuan to personally participate in the tomb raiding.

As he walked into the Long family\'s training ground, he saw the exceptionally conspicuous Long Bao in the crowd. His massive frame stood out like a crane among chickens. Naturally, Long Yan, with whom he had a dispute the other day, was also among them.

However, at this moment, Long Yan was wearing the treasured Dragon Silkworm Robe, with a confident expression. It was clear that this Dragon Silkworm Robe had given him a great sense of security and filled him with confidence for this journey.

Long Xuan then shifted his gaze elsewhere, and when he saw a particular figure, his eyes stopped, and he revealed a look of surprise.

He unexpectedly saw another familiar face—his senior sister Long Ziyan. It seemed that she was deliberately concealing her identity, standing there with a veil covering her face. However, her unique temperament was too distinctive, and he recognized her at a glance.

Long Ziyan was a Gu cultivator at the Marrow Cleansing stage, so wasn’t she prohibited from participating in this mission? Wait, no, that was the aura of someone at the peak of the Spirit Gathering stage—this was her clone. She actually intended to send her clone to participate in this mission.

But this kind of operation was definitely not allowed. No wonder she was hiding her identity.

Long Xuan was shocked. He knew that Long Ziyan only had one second-grade Dragon Silkworm Robe, and she had already given it to him. Wouldn\'t that make her participation in this mission even more dangerous? The favor from a beauty is indeed the hardest to repay. He made a mental note of this debt and hoped that nothing bad would happen to Long Ziyan in the tomb.

Just as Long Xuan was lost in thought, a large hand suddenly slapped heavily on his shoulder, startling him.

"What are you doing here? Are you looking to die?" Long Qilin\'s large face moved close, glaring at him as he spoke.

Long Xuan patted his chest, trying to calm his racing heart, and glared back at him. "Couldn\'t you have approached from the front? Don\'t worry, we\'ve been in a team before, so you know my character. Do you think I would take a risk if I wasn\'t absolutely confident?"

Long Qilin was taken aback and then remembered how cautious Long Xuan was, even giving several additional strikes when killing a spirit beast, so he was fully convinced of Long Xuan\'s careful nature.

"I\'m confident in your character, but many dangers happen suddenly. If the heavens decide to take you, no amount of caution will help."

"Since you\'re determined to go, I won\'t try to stop you. Just remember to stick close to your senior sister. Her true cultivation level is in the Marrow Cleansing stage, and her combat power is capable of instantly killing anyone in the tomb. With her there, you should be safe."

"Since you\'re already going, could you do me a small favor? In the Empress\'s Herb Garden, there\'s some mid-grade spiritual soil. If it\'s convenient, could you dig some up for me?"

"There are currently two transformation paths for Earth Master. I believe the path of consuming spiritual soil is the stronger one."

"Of course, if it\'s too dangerous, then forget it. Safety is the priority. I won\'t force you."

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan stared blankly at him. He suspected that this was what Long Qilin really wanted to say, and everything before was just a lead-up.

Otherwise, why would a Marrow Cleansing stage Gu cultivator come here when he couldn\'t participate in the mission? His cultivation level doesn\'t allow him to join the task.

"Alright, if it\'s just a small task, I\'ll bring some spiritual soil back for you. But I\'m not making any promises, so don\'t get your hopes up."

"Of course, be careful. Remember, you all will be tomb raiding at night. The Seven Great Clans will join forces and act together, and you only have half a day. Once dawn breaks, you must leave. If you\'re slow, it will be very difficult to get out."

"The Array Formation in that ancient tomb is special. It can harness the sun\'s energy to unleash limitless power. During the day, the danger level of the tomb is more than thirty times higher than at night."

"Once the sun rises, those who haven\'t managed to get out of the tomb are almost certainly doomed. This conclusion was drawn from the blood-soaked experiences of the previous five tomb-raiding missions."

Long Xuan nodded, taking Long Qilin\'s words to heart.

He had no desire to find out what happens in the tomb during the day, nor did he want to know. He just intended to listen, follow orders, and get out in time.

Since Long Qilin was a Marrow Cleansing stage Gu cultivator and couldn\'t participate in the mission, he didn\'t stay long. After giving a few more reminders about the details of the ancient tomb, he finally left.
