Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Swapping Gu

"Master, I really don't want to go back to that place! Without Master by my side, I'll die of loneliness! Master, as long as you need it, no matter how rare the Gu worm is, I will try my best to help you exchange for it..."

Living Treasure Window, like a little monkey, shot out from the System backpack with a "whoosh," then pounced straight at Liu Chen like a cannonball, hugging his body tightly, all the while muttering incessantly.

Its tears fell like a bursting dam, pitter-pattering down, looking utterly pitiful.

However, unexpectedly, these tears were all extremely precious gu materials—Clear Spirit Water! One must know that this Clear Spirit Water is an essential Material for refining Five-Rank Gu worms! Liu Chen, seeing this, was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm, quietly collecting the Clear Spirit Water.

"You stay in the System backpack and can still feel the passage of time?" Liu Chen asked, looking at the Living Treasure Window with a suspicious expression.

"Ah? So that place is called the System backpack! I really didn't feel time passing, but as soon as I can't see Master, I feel so lonely and so sad..." Living Treasure Window raised its head, blinking its round, big eyes, looking pitifully at Liu Chen as it replied.

"Uh, don't speak yet, let me finish." Liu Chen quickly interrupted Living Treasure Window, pulled it off himself, placed it in front of him, and then said, "I want to exchange for some Gu worms."

"Being able to help Master makes Living Treasure Window very happy. Tell me, Master, what Gu worm do you want? With me here, you can exchange for anything at the lowest cost." Living Treasure Window's smile became even brighter when it heard Liu Chen wanted to exchange for Gu worms, like a blooming flower. It excitedly said to Liu Chen, its tone full of confidence and enthusiasm.

Liu Chen, seeing this, felt a little relieved. He composed himself, then spoke without hesitation: "I want an Immortal Wind Gu, seven Star Gu, a wisp of seven-colored auspicious light..."

His words were like a barrage of cannon fire, quickly and accurately listing the Gu worms and gu materials he needed. Among them, the Immortal Wind Gu was undoubtedly the most valuable, its worth, converted into primeval stones, would be a massive eight hundred thousand.

However, Liu Chen did not hesitate or worry in the slightest, because he deeply understood Living Treasure Window's ability. With the existence of Living Treasure Window, he believed he would definitely be able to exchange for these precious Gu worms and gu materials from the Shang Clan Treasure Realm.

Living Treasure Window listened quietly to Liu Chen's requests, then closed its eyes, seemingly searching the Treasure Realm for the corresponding Gu worms and gu materials. After a while, it opened its eyes and said to Liu Chen with a smile: "Hmm, let me see. For Immortal Wind Gu, there are still two thousand three hundred and fifty-eight in the Treasure Realm, and the quantities of the others are even greater. Master, to exchange for these items, you need one Four-Turn Gu worm and eight Third Rank Gu worms. With me here, whatever Gu worm Master wants, I can get it."

The Treasure Realm's reply startled Liu Chen, and he was also shocked by the Gu worm reserves in the Shang Clan Treasure Realm, feeling waves of joy in his heart.

From the Shang Clan, Liu Chen had harvested a large number of treasure chests, obtaining various Third Rank and Four-Turn Gu worms.

Initially, he merely regarded these Gu worms as backups and didn't pay much attention to them. However, what he hadn't expected was that these previously overlooked Gu worms would prove to be of great use at such a critical moment.

"Exchange!" Liu Chen shouted without hesitation, a hint of urgency in his voice.

He quickly selected one Four-Turn Gu worm and eight Third Rank Gu worms that were not suitable for him from among the many Gu worms, placing them in front of Living Treasure Window.

Living Treasure Window seemed to sense Liu Chen's intention and immediately opened its window. A faint light flashed, and the several Gu worms in Liu Chen's hand, as if pulled by a powerful suction force, flew directly into Living Treasure Window's mouth.

Immediately after, something astonishing happened. After swallowing these Gu worms, Living Treasure Window actually spat out an Immortal Wind Gu as beautiful as a jade butterfly, as well as seven white-gold, five-pointed star-shaped Gu worms, and the auxiliary gu materials Liu Chen had just listed also appeared before him.

"Master, you must quickly refine these Gu worms!" Living Treasure Window urgently reminded him, "Once they lose the suppression of the Treasure Realm, their wildness will return, and then they'll be difficult to control!"

Liu Chen knew time was short. He dared not delay in the slightest and immediately reached out to grab the several Gu worms.

Refined in an instant.

"Master, Master, do you need any other Gu worms?" Living Treasure Window asked Liu Chen ingratiatingly, seemingly afraid that he would not continue to exchange.

Liu Chen pondered for a moment, then a thought suddenly struck him, and he asked, "Then, can you check for me if there are any Longevity Gu in this Treasure Realm?"

Longevity Gu, those were the most precious Gu worms in the world! Their rarity, at times, even surpassed that of Immortal Gu!

Hearing Liu Chen's question, Living Treasure Window's expression became slightly troubled, but it still honestly replied, "Master, there is indeed a ten-year Longevity Gu and a hundred-year Longevity Gu in this Treasure Realm. However, the ten-year Longevity Gu requires an Immortal Gu recipe to exchange for, while the hundred-year Longevity Gu requires a complete Immortal Gu."

Liu Chen sighed inwardly, these exchange conditions were too harsh! After all, Immortal Gu recipe and Immortal Gu were not so easy to obtain.

"So that's how it is, no wonder this Treasure Realm can keep Longevity Gu." Liu Chen shook his head helplessly, abandoning the idea of exchanging for Longevity Gu.

However, he did not give up there, and immediately followed up by asking Living Treasure Window: "Alright then, let me ask you again, are there any Millennium Wooden Charm Gu or Ten-Thousand-Year Wooden Charm Gu in this Treasure Realm?"

However, Living Treasure Window's reply left Liu Chen somewhat disappointed: "I'm sorry, Master, there are no Millennium Wooden Charm Gu or Ten-Thousand-Year Wooden Charm Gu in this Treasure Realm."

"It seems there are no loopholes to exploit!" Liu Chen looked at the Millennium Wooden Charm Gu in front of him, sighing inwardly.

Originally, he had hoped to obtain precious Longevity Gu from this Millennium Wooden Charm Gu through the method of reverse refinement. However, this method was simply not feasible.

Since that was the case, Liu Chen didn't hesitate. Before Living Treasure Window could react, he decisively put Living Treasure Window into the System backpack.

After dealing with Living Treasure Window, Liu Chen began to prepare to refine his Gu worm.

This time, he was going to refine a very famous Gu worm—Fixed Immortal Travel.

Liu Chen took a deep breath, mobilizing the Golden True Essence within him. With a wave of his hands, the Golden True Essence, like a torrent, quickly enveloped a thousand-beast king-level Wind-Stabilizing Turtle shell.

This Wind-Stabilizing Turtle shell was the basic Material for refining Fixed Immortal Travel. The Golden True Essence gathered within the turtle shell, forming a shape like a giant pot. The Wind-Stabilizing Turtle was naturally able to control wind, able to freely roam the sky, and even in the most terrifying storms, the Wind-Stabilizing Turtle could swim freely.
