Chi Yao stood there, closing his eyes slightly, trying to digest the information transmitted from Qijue Gu.
After a while, he let out a satisfied sigh with joy: "What a Qijue Gu! This trip is really the right one!"
Then, he looked up at the sky and found that it was still early, so he wandered around the Moon Mountain with the idea of "it's not easy to come down here so quickly."
"With such a big Sacred Moon Mountain, there must be more than one Twelve Cave ruins that can be explored, right? People don't usually come to this place, so we can't waste this rare opportunity!"
Chi Yao was chanting while walking through the lush mountain forest like a monkey.
…
…
Afternoon.
The sun was at its peak, and most of the Gu masters of the Black Miao Tribe gathered under the two holy mountains had already waited for their children.
After all, the two holy mountains are full of Gu insects, and half a day is more than enough for most people.
At this time, some of them were happy because their children had chosen a good natal Gu, while others were depressed because their children had failed to live up to expectations.
The natal Gu is a lifelong matter once chosen. Its ability and strength can almost be said to determine the future development direction and potential of a Gu master.
Don't be careless.
"Brother Chi Li, your little Yao hasn't come down yet? Could it be that you are looking for a holy grade Gu?"
The good-looking female Gu Master who had been standing next to Chi Li had already waited for her child and made a casual joke.
"well……"
Chi Li sighed, "Miss Xianqing, I'm afraid that's what he thinks. In the past few days, he has been pestering me to ask which kind of natal Gu is the most powerful."
"What's the most powerful poison?"
Xianqing chuckled, "It's hard to say, but brother Chi Li, you are the most powerful Gu Master in our tribe besides the Great Gu Master, so your Gu must be the most powerful!"
"Haha~ Let's stop talking about this. How about it? What kind of life Gu did your little Meng'er choose?"
Chi Li smiled boldly and skipped the topic.
"She is just like me, Sky Spider!"
Xianqing touched her daughter's head.
"Yes, among the six holy Gus, this is the most suitable one for her."
Chi Yao nodded and agreed.
"In other words, our family has been playing with spider silk for generations, and we are very good at entangling people~"
Xianqing's tone was extremely proud.
While everyone was chatting, half a day passed, and in a blink of an eye, the sun began to set.
"Are all the little dolls back?"
The clan elder in charge of counting people has already started shouting.
According to the rules, everyone must leave the holy mountain before sunset.
"My family hasn't..."
Chi Li raised his voice, and just halfway through his words, he heard a familiar and childish voice coming from the front.
"Dad, I'm back."
Turning around, he saw a young man wearing a smart blue and purple shirt, with his forearms and legs exposed, walking down Moon Mountain in the last rays of the setting sun.
The warm golden sunshine shone on his body, giving him an inexplicable sense of harmony and beauty.
"You brat, you still know how to get down the mountain!"
Chi Li stepped forward and slapped Chi Yao on the shoulder, causing him to stumble.
"Ouch!"
Chi Li cried out in pain, and then said with a smile, "Isn't this just for the sake of careful selection? A good Gu is not afraid of being too late, isn't it?"
Seeing his appearance, Chi Li finally felt relieved and understood that this boy had indeed chosen a satisfactory natal Gu.
He was afraid that his son's ambition would be as high as the sky, and it would be terrible if he chose nothing for a whole day and returned empty-handed.
The Gu Festival happens once every five years. If you miss this time, you will have to wait another five years. It will be too late to start by then.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's start registration! Those whose names are called come to the front and release their own natal Gu."
The clan elder shouted to everyone.
This is a standard process for testing everyone’s potential.
Although natal Gu is not the only criterion for judging the strength of a Gu master, it does account for a large proportion.
Moreover, in this era, with advanced technology and weak mysterious power, all sects and sects can only follow the elite route, even the Black Miao tribe in Shiwan Mountain is no exception.
If you don't have enough potential, you don't have to spend too much time on it. There are easier ways to make a living outside the mountains.
"Mossan!"
A dark and stocky young man walked up to the clan elder and opened his right hand.
After a while, a black bug the size of a melon seed bit through the skin and came out.
"Black Ant, not bad!"
The clan elder nodded.
"Wumeng!"
"Tanibo!"
"Hejia!"
One by one, young boys or girls came forward. Those with potential for cultivation would receive a "not bad" comment from the elders. If not, the elders would shake their heads.
And there is only one case that can get a better evaluation until now.
That is Xian Meng, Xian Qing’s daughter.
Her natal Gu Sky Spider made the clan elder excited for a long time, and he wished he could accept a disciple on the spot.
It's a pity that his own natal Gu is not a spider, so Xian Qing directly rejected it.
Chi Li was not surprised by this.
Most of the people in the Black Miao tribe are straightforward and respect strength.
Although the clan elders are highly respected, in terms of strength, they may not be able to beat Xingqing because they are old and frail. Moreover, Xianqing's own natal Gu is also a Sky Spider, so she is indeed more suitable to teach her daughter than the clan elder.
Therefore, although the clan elder looked regretful, he did not continue to pester him.
"Chi Yao!"
When this name was called out, the eyes of almost everyone present involuntarily turned to the young man who was taking steps forward.
The title of the No. 1 child prodigy of the Black Miao tribe is no joke, and Chi Yao spent the longest time on the mountain today.
Everyone wants to see what such a powerful guy has gained today.
Chi Yao, who was under the spotlight, remained calm in his movements.
He walked up to the clan elder calmly and spread his right palm.
Suddenly, Qi Jue Gu, who looked like a white wall, crawled out driven by his thoughts.
The moment it appeared, many young people present suddenly felt their natal Gu trembling, as if they were excited, but also surrendered in fear, unable to calm down for a long time.
Even Chi Li and Xian Qing felt that their Gu insects were actively transmitting a vague thought, as if they were afraid of something.
"This is... the Holy Scorpion!"
The clan elder's eyes widened with disbelief and ecstasy, "Holy Scorpion King!"
"What?"
"Scorpion King?"
"Holy item?"
Upon hearing the clan elder's words, the crowd gathered below suddenly became commotion, and their eyes looking at Chi Yao became even more intense.
Some people were shocked and envious by this, while more people were asking what it meant.
"Congratulations to Brother Chi Li. How many years has it been since the holy natal Gu appeared?"
Xianqing congratulated Chi Li with an envious look on her face.
"This boy's natal Gu is actually stronger than me!"
Chi Li's face could not conceal his joy.
According to tradition, the quality of natal Gu is divided into five levels, from high to low, namely heaven, earth, xuan, and yellow. Those who surpass the heaven level are called saints, which means transcending the ordinary and becoming holy, unparalleled.
…
…
After the Gu Festival passed, the news that Chi Yao possessed the holy natal Gu spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the Miao territory.
Not only Black Miao, but also Hong Miao also vaguely learned the news.
However, Chi Yao himself had no real feelings about this.
After all, he was originally the number one child prodigy in the Black Miao Club, and he was liked by everyone wherever he went.
Now it's just that more people like him and the degree is deeper, it's not a big deal.
Most of his thoughts were focused on studying the Seven Jue Gu.
That day, although the clan elder rated him as the "Holy Grade Scorpion King", Chi Yao felt that the limits of Qijue Gu were more than that.
Through the information transmitted by the Gu insect himself, he understood that the so-called Qijue Gu refers to the Gu techniques in seven directions.
The first secret: Heavenly Gu.
Able to know the time of the sky, know the favorable terrain, move the stars and change the stars, and peek into the secrets of heaven.
Of course, those are abilities that can only be acquired after maturity. Today's little embryos are not even as useful as weather forecasts.
The second skill: Power Gu.
It can make the host's five senses and six senses become particularly sharp, and at the same time, it can continuously enhance the host's physique and strength with practice.
The third secret: Love Gu.
This is an indispensable kind of Gu insect in Miao territory's legends, and it ranks first in terms of popularity. However, its function is not as simple as the legend says. In addition to aphrodisiac, it can also sense and influence other people's emotions. It will also subtly affect the appearance and temperament of the host, making it especially more attractive to the opposite sex.
The fourth secret: poisonous poison.
This is a very broad category. There are two basic functions. One is to produce toxins, and the other is to absorb toxins.
The fifth skill: Heart Gu.
It can have a heart-to-heart connection with other creatures, which is an excellent way to control insects.
The sixth secret: Dark Gu.
It can hide its own aura and body shape, making it blend into the shadows. When it reaches a high level of cultivation, it can even use shadows to jump and transfer.
The seventh secret: Corpse Gu.
This is also a very traditional method. The mother voodoo gives birth to a child voodoo, and the child voodoo resides in the corpse. The host can influence the child voodoo through the mother voodoo, thereby manipulating the corpse.
After reading the description of Qi Jue Gu's abilities, Chi Yao was very excited and felt that with these abilities, he could conquer the world.
...If there is no explanation of the second half of the side effects.
All things in the heaven and earth bear yin and embrace yang, so there are gains and losses, and Qijue Gu is no exception.
Their abilities are indeed extremely powerful, but their side effects and training methods are also troublesome.
Heavenly Gu can detect the right time and place, but the problem is that the host will also be affected by different weather conditions. For example, you will be depressed on cloudy and rainy days, and you will be particularly cheerful on sunny days, etc.
And this is already the one with the smallest sequelae among the Seven Ultimate Gu.
The side effect of the force Gu, or the way of practice, is to eat. The force Gu converts the essence in the food into one's own energy, so there is almost no time when one can feel full.
Love Gu was even more difficult to deal with. The side effect was estrus. Chi Yao was not even prepared to practice it too much to avoid suffering the consequences.
The cultivation method and side effects of poisonous poison are that you must eat a certain amount of poison every day.
Heart Gu must communicate with other creatures for a period of time every day, and the more they look at each other, the more beautiful they will become.
Dark Gu requires that you hide yourself for at least two hours every day and cannot be discovered by anyone. This is both a side effect and a practice. Fortunately, after testing, sleeping alone does not count.
The most terrifying side effect of corpse voodoo, and even if you mention it, you may get 404, that is, you can't help but look at the corpse, the more you look at it, the more you like it.
"These are the abilities of demons and monsters!"
After reading the entire instruction manual, Chi Yao was so angry that his brain ached.
Finally, he decided to try to practice the four abilities of Sky Gu, Power Gu, Poison Gu and Dark Gu for the time being. The side effects of Love Gu, Heart Gu and Corpse Gu were really a bit scary, and he didn't want to bear it yet.
