This peak\'s surroundings were indeed desolate and barren, with nothing to offer—just a bare, bleak landscape. To outsiders, it truly deserved the name Little Poor Peak.

Upon returning to the highest point of Little Poor Peak, Long Xuan felt a chill that comes with great heights. He sat in the pavilion, continuing to work on his Gu recipe, his life remaining simple and unadorned. Though monotonous, he found joy in it.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another half-year had passed. On a stormy night filled with thunder and lightning, Long Xuan wrote the words "◎ Written by Long Xuan" on a piece of paper. He had finally completed the Gu recipe he named Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.

At this moment, the progress on the Gu recipe displayed as [100%], and seeing this number made him uncontrollably excited.

It had not been easy—he had worked tirelessly for an unknown length of time. The materials required for this Gu recipe amounted to a staggering 7,000 portions, which was downright terrifying. If not for the fact that a considerable number of materials were duplicated, who knows how much longer it would have taken him to complete it.

But after countless days and nights of relentless effort, this lengthy Gu formula was finally completed, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

As the creator of this newly born Gu species, he had the right to name it, so he decided to call it Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.

The name Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm had two meanings. First, this Gu recipe was inspired by the Dragon Silkworm Gu and borrowed heavily from the Dragon Silkworm Gu recipe, including similar refinement methods, so he chose the word "Dragon."

Secondly, the idea was so wild that it could only be conceived in a daydream, something that could only be realized in a dream, hence he added the word "Dream." Thus, the new Gu species was named Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm.

How powerful is the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm? Long Xuan didn\'t know yet, as he hadn\'t started refining the Gu.

However, since this was a Gu recipe he created, the abilities the Gu would possess were already fixed in the recipe. So once the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm was refined, it would definitely have the exaggerated abilities he had written into the recipe.

The abilities of the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm were already known; it was just a matter of how strong they would be.

Long Xuan was now eager to refine the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm. His impatience was overwhelming—waiting even one more day felt like torture.

The next step was to collect the required materials.

With a Gu recipe requiring as many as 7,000 portions of materials, gathering them all would naturally be an astronomical task. Under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to collect everything.

But Long Xuan was no ordinary person. The materials needed for the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm were no longer a concern.

Speaking of which, there\'s something worth mentioning—anyone with a bit of eyesight who passed by could see that the magic formation Long Xuan had set up was extraordinary, just from the sheer size of its area.

Every time his Fire Clone mentioned using ordinary cement as the base for the formation, it was brushed off as unimportant.

Upon hearing about the limitations of using cement as the formation base, many people lost interest and dismissed Long Xuan\'s formation as a paper tiger—one that would easily crumble under strong attacks.

So, despite the large area covered by the array, most people paid it no mind, and it didn\'t cause much of a stir.

However, when the family head learned of this, he took it extremely seriously and immediately rushed over, offering to exchange a billion contribution points for Long Xuan\'s cement technology.

As a result, in Long Xuan\'s dumbfounded expression, another dragon tattoo appeared on his body.

This dragon tattoo meant that his invention could bring immeasurable benefits to the Long family. Only those who made enormous contributions to the family would be rewarded with the Hidden Dragon tattoo—a level of honor even the Long family\'s ancestor didn\'t have.

Thus, Long Xuan had no worries about gathering the materials for the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm. With such a massive amount of contribution points, what peak-grade Gu couldn\'t he refine?

But even now, he was still in a state of confusion, completely unable to comprehend how cement technology could be worth so many contribution points.

In his view, cement technology had no place in this world.

You want to use it to build houses? Sorry, in this world, there are countless spiritual woods that are a hundred times better than cement for construction. Can you imagine cultivators living in cement buildings?

You want to use it as an formation base? Sorry, cement is far too fragile. An formation made of cement wouldn\'t stand up to a Gu King, and it might not even hold off a Spiritual Sea stage Gu cultivator.

To him, anyone who dared to use cement to set up an array was asking for death.

If the family dared to use cement for a protective mountain formation, it would become riddled with holes, and no one would be able to defend it. Even thieves would laugh themselves silly.

So Long Xuan was truly baffled—did cement really have such a significant role?

Curious, he immediately rushed to the Long family, partly to see how they were using the cement and partly to spend his billion contribution points.

Not only did he want to collect all the materials needed for refining the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm in one go, but he also wanted to gather other useful resources for himself.

As soon as he arrived at the Long family, he was stunned by what he saw—many Long family Gu cultivators were happily using steel-reinforced cement to make armor for Earth Masters. The armor was engraved with dense formation patterns, and everyone was working with enthusiasm, their eyes filled with excitement.

Good heavens, they were outfitting Earth Masters with a set of formation bases to create a mobile array! This was precisely the extravagant idea he had come up with for the Earth Master. He hadn\'t expected the family to actually adopt it.

At this moment, he finally realized that for a family, what is most needed is always the most cost-effective thing, not necessarily the most powerful thing. The cost-effectiveness of cement was simply too high.

In the past, developing the tactic of moving formations with an Earth Master was an extremely expensive affair. Without money, it was impossible to play with this idea, and most people had to abandon this notion.

But now, with the advent of cheap cement, the strategy of having Earth Masters carry formations into battle could be applied on a large scale.

Formations made of cement may not be presentable and might struggle to withstand experts beyond the Spiritual Sea stage, but who said that a formation must be able to withstand experts above the Spiritual Sea stage?

In large-scale chaotic battles, as long as it can threaten Gu cultivators at the Marrow Cleansing stage, that’s already enough.

Cement may be useless to him, but that doesn’t mean it’s useless to others.

Originally, an Earth Master was only somewhat powerful in brute force, with mediocre abilities in other areas. But now, with each Earth Master carrying a formation on their back, if it’s a killing formation, then this Earth Master would gain the ability to unleash fire and lightning.

Good heavens, that’s a bunch of mobile artillery platforms! How many artillery battalions could be formed? Once they hit the battlefield, they’d be a nightmare for any enemy.

If the Earth Master carries an illusion formation, then this Earth Master would also gain the ability to cast illusions.

Isn’t this just cheating? It’s so unfair! How can those peak-grade Gu even compete anymore? After all, an Earth Master is merely a low-grade Gu insect!

And this is just an enhancement to individual combat power. What if there were enough Earth Masters, all collectively carrying an extremely lethal formation and moving around?

Just thinking about such a scenario made Long Xuan shudder involuntarily. Who could be so perverse as to invent such terrifying Gu insect? This is seriously over the top, isn’t it?

At this moment, he finally understood why his cement technology was worth one billion contributions.

It’s no exaggeration to say that with the release of cement technology, the overall combat power of the Long family would instantly more than double. The strength of the Long clan was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Is one billion contributions a lot? Not at all. Long Xuan couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

At this moment, all the members of the Long family were busy making cement battle armor. Many were designing styles for the armor and then putting the finished armor on their Earth Masters. Everyone was working with intense enthusiasm.

The entire atmosphere of the Long family had changed, as if they had entered a state of war preparation. The air was filled with a murderous aura.

The Long family had over ten thousand Gu cultivators, each with their own Earth Master. Just imagine that scene.

The Long family didn’t have enough formation masters to care for such a vast number of Earth Masters, so they spent spirit stones to hire many formation masters to help.

Long Xuan casually scanned through the group of formation masters and suddenly narrowed his eyes, unexpectedly seeing a very familiar face. Who else could it be but Di Xin? Although she had disguised herself, she couldn’t fool his eyes.

She had actually infiltrated as well? Long Xuan was shocked because he was quite wary of her.

She was currently caressing a giant Earth Master’s battle armor with bright, interested eyes.

Could it be that she’s also interested in cement technology? Long Xuan’s eyes shifted, unable to figure out her purpose in infiltrating the Long family.

But Long Xuan couldn’t be bothered with those trivial matters. He only wanted to collect materials as quickly as possible and then rush back to refine the Heavenly Dream Dragon Silkworm. Nothing was more important than that.

After understanding the Patriarch’s intention behind wanting the cement technology, Long Xuan’s curiosity was satisfied. He handed the one billion contribution token to his Fire Clone, ordered him to collect the materials on the Gu recipe within the Long family, and then headed towards the market.

The Long family’s treasure trove had limited treasures; it was impossible to have every kind of treasure. It wasn’t likely that they’d conveniently have all the materials listed in the Gu recipe.

Although the Long family was very wealthy, he could only gather about half of the materials there. He still needed to go to the market to acquire the remaining materials.

In the market, just one Qian Clan’s Chamber of Commerce could allow him to collect almost all the remaining materials.

However, building a lethal formation capable of withstanding a Gu King was incredibly expensive. He didn’t have many spirit stones left, and not all treasures could be bought with spirit stones.

After thinking it over, he decided to disguise himself as the mysterious alchemist who had appeared once at the Qian Clan’s Chamber of Commerce.

This mysterious alchemist was portrayed very successfully. The people at the Qian Clan’s Chamber of Commerce already believed he had an extremely powerful master behind him, someone they absolutely couldn’t afford to offend.

Over the years, that working rabbit had already refined mountains of spirit pills for him, all of which were high-grade spirit pills. Spirit pills were also valuable items, so they should be enough to exchange for the remaining materials.

So, Long Xuan decided to split up with his Fire Clone. The Fire Clone would use the massive contribution to empty the treasure trove, while he would head to the Qian Clan’s Chamber of Commerce to collect the remaining materials.

If the remaining materials couldn’t be gathered at the Qian Clan’s Chamber of Commerce, he would have to delay for a few more days and stay in the market a bit longer.
