That night, the moon was bright and only a few stars could be seen, while crows crossed the sky and flew south.
Above Wolf Ridge, the moon hung high like a round jade plate.
Soft moonlight spilled across the hills, draping the land in a thin silver veil.
From time to time, faint wolf howls drifted in from the distance, breaking the silence of the night.
Inside the camp, most people had already fallen asleep.
After the fire jackal attack the previous night, everyone was exhausted in both body and mind.
Only a few remained awake.
Some had lost friends in the battle.
Some lay awake with wounds still aching.
Their bodies were tired, their hearts heavy and sleep would not come no matter how hard they tried.
But life had never been easy.
Following a caravan was dangerous, but the rewards were high.
A single trip could earn ten times, sometimes even dozens of times more than what an ordinary servant might earn in the same period.
Because of that, even knowing the road ahead was full of danger, very few chose to leave.
For the sake of survival, they could only grit their teeth and keep moving forward.
Inside the tent, Lin Feng sat cross-legged, focusing his mind into his aperture as he continued cultivating.
Beneath the translucent white aperture membrane, a sea of silver primeval essence rose and fell in steady waves.
Floating quietly above the sea was a crimson lotus.
Its aura was completely concealed, so at first glance it looked no different from a real flower.
Like Earth Treasury Flower Gu, it possessed the ability to seal and store Gu worms.
Several Blood Path Gu that Lin Feng had obtained from the Blood Sea inheritance were sealed within it.
For now, he had no intention of using them, so he left them sleeping inside the Blood Lotus Gu.
Nearby, Rank 3 Blood Tribute Gu moved through the primeval sea like a centipede.
Its many sharp legs swayed with the current as it swam through the silver waves.
A pair of golden feelers extended from its head, while its dark-red translucent shell and blackish-red limbs gave it a sinister appearance.
This was a Blood Path Gu Lin Feng had accidentally created himself.
With it as the core, he had developed many other ideas around it, such as Blood Debt Gu, Blood Loan Gu, and Blood Pressure Gu.
But for now, they were only ideas.
Because of limits in his cultivation, available materials, and the Gu recipes themselves, he could not refine them yet.
Nearby, a Gu worm shaped like a beast skull floated up and down in the primeval sea.
This was the Rank 3 Blood Essence Gu, one of the Gu inherited from the Blood Sea inheritance.
It could use blood path materials to refine a Gu Master’s primeval essence, allowing cultivation to speed up.
There was also the Blood Refining Gu, shaped like a spiral shell.
From time to time, it rose from the bottom of the sea and drifted to the surface, releasing streams of snow-silver primeval essence.
Within the Blood Sea inheritance, this Gu held great importance.
It allowed even Gu Masters without skill in refinement to easily refine Blood Path Gu worms. Get faster updates on novelping.com.
A Rank 4 Gu also floated quietly in the air.
It was shaped like a feather, pure white from end to end, its entire body formed from bone, so light it seemed as though a gust of wind could carry it away.
This was Bone Wing Gu, a very rare flying Gu.
It possessed no strange or extraordinary ability.
But precisely because of that, it was exceptionally balanced, with almost no obvious weakness.
Its flight speed was extremely fast, while its toughness was equally remarkable, placing it among the finest Rank 4 flying Gu.
It came from the true inheritance of Gray Bone Scholar of Bai Gu Mountain.
Using the knowledge he possessed beforehand, Lin Feng had claimed it from the inheritance before anyone else could reach it.
Now, Bone Wing Gu had become one of Lin Feng’s most important Gu, and one of the things he was best known for within the caravan.
When it came to Bone Wing Gu, Lin Feng had quite a story behind it.
Ever since obtaining it, he had spent countless hours training his flying.
More than once, he had nearly fallen to his death.
But by constantly pushing himself to the edge of danger, his flying skills improved at an astonishing pace.
The rest of the bone path Gu lay quietly at the bottom of the silver primeval sea, resembling scattered white stones, motionless and silent.
All of them came from the same inheritance.
Over the years, Lin Feng had deliberately collected more of them, gradually building a complete set of combat system covering attack, defense, movement, healing, storage, and support.
These bone path Gu fed on milk spring water.
The water was white like milk and naturally sweet to the taste.
Not only was it pleasant to drink, but it was also rich in nourishment—capable of strengthening the body, helping children grow, and benefiting the elderly.
