"But I just opened my aperture, and my Aptitude is only grade C. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to refine this Gu, and I don't have the ability to feed new Gu either," Fei Cai said with a look of regret.
"This Gu is actually quite easy to raise, as long as you're a little careful. Of course, if it unfortunately dies young, then it can only mean that you and it have no affinity," Liu Chen said, completely disregarding Fei Cai's feelings, and without further ado, he placed the Sword Embryo Gu directly into Fei Cai's palm.
"You are only a Rank 1 Gu Master, so how did you manage to run out of your tribe? And why haven't I seen any of your tribesmen come looking for you?" Liu Chen seemed quite interested in Fei Cai's experience and continued to press for answers.
"Oh, it's like this: our tribe is holding a Gu Fighting Tournament, but I'm not interested in those things, so I took advantage of everyone's inattention and secretly snuck out. Who knew that once I came out, I would accidentally be led astray by this horse? I originally thought I wouldn't be able to return to the tribe until tomorrow," Fei Cai answered honestly, without any concealment.
"What a coincidence!" Liu Chen secretly marveled in his heart. If Fei Cai hadn't suddenly rushed out, he probably would have had to go through a lot of trouble to use the beast horde to create chaos, so that his actions would be smoother.
However, what he didn't expect was that Fei Cai actually delivered himself to his doorstep, which undoubtedly saved the Fei Family Tribe from a disaster. Nevertheless, the Sword Embryo Gu that Liu Chen left behind was indeed one of his backup plans, and for Fei Cai, this Gu would only bring benefits and no harm. After all, Liu Chen did not want to conflict with Fei Cai, who possessed immense Luck, to avoid his own Luck being affected.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't bother with you, little brat, any longer. Since you are not a Gu Master, these primeval stones are my gift to you. Take them to refine that Gu," Liu Chen said with a slight smile.
Since his goal had been achieved, Liu Chen naturally didn't want to have too much contact with Fei Cai. With a thought, the Wind Wolf Hundred Beast King, which had been hiding, appeared beside him like a ghost. Liu Chen lightly flipped onto the wolf's back, his movements fluid and unhesitating.
Before leaving, Liu Chen casually tossed a small bag of primeval stones, which landed accurately in front of Fei Cai. Then, he rode the Wind Wolf Hundred Beast King, galloping away like a gust of wind, instantly disappearing from Fei Cai's sight.
"Uncle, you dropped your primeval stones!" Fei Cai suddenly caught sight of a pile of primeval stones scattered on the ground, numbering over a hundred. He hastily bent down to pick them up, with no greed in his heart, only wanting to return them to their owner, Liu Chen, as soon as possible.
Fei Cai was anxious, fearing that Liu Chen would go too far, so he immediately tried to climb onto the tall Ferghana horse, preparing to chase after him. However, this Ferghana horse seemed to not care for him, suddenly rearing its front hooves, almost throwing Fei Cai to the ground.
Fortunately, Fei Cai's Luck Path was strong. At the critical moment, he accidentally grabbed the horse's mane, barely steadying himself and not falling off the horse's back.
However, he then discovered that when he almost fell off the horse just now, he accidentally crushed the Sword Embryo Gu to death.
"The Gu that Uncle gave me, Little Red, you're really too naughty!" Fei Cai, seeing this, was both angry and anxious. He couldn't help but pat the horse's back, muttering.
Who knew that this pat would make the Ferghana horse go wild, galloping away like an arrow released from a bow, and the direction was surprisingly towards the Fei Family Tribe!
Fei Cai was terrified by this sudden turn of events. He hugged the horse's neck tightly while screaming loudly. His wails echoed across the open wilderness, drawing the attention of those around him.
And so, Fei Cai wailed all the way on the horse's back, while the Ferghana horse galloped like mad, rushing all the way into the Fei Family Tribe.
Unexpectedly, when Fei Cai rode the Ferghana horse into the tribe, the tribesmen erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers.
In addition to the Gu Fighting Tournament, the Fei Family Tribe was also holding a fierce horse racing competition, and Fei Cai, riding the Ferghana horse, rushed in like lightning, coincidentally becoming the champion of this competition!
This unexpected outcome surprised and delighted Fei Cai. He never imagined that he would win first place in the horse racing competition in such a dramatic way, earning the cheers of his tribesmen.
Of course, this was no longer something Liu Chen needed to consider. After leaving the sphere of influence of the Fei Family Tribe and preparing to go to the Zhao Family Tribe, he only then remembered that Zhao Lianyun should not yet be a Gu Master, which meant he would not be able to obtain the treasure chest.
Currently, there was still more than half a year until the Hero Assembly officially began, and now that he had replaced Pan Ping's identity, his only goal was to enter Royal Court Blessed Land.
He didn't even need to do anything deliberately; he just needed to quietly wait for the Hero Assembly to begin, and then, at the appropriate time, unhesitatingly and proactively pledge allegiance to Hei Lou Lan, and he would easily be able to successfully enter Royal Court Blessed Land. After all, even if some small mistakes occurred during this process, there was no need to worry at all, because Fang Yuan was silently supporting him from behind, helping him clean up the mess and fill any potential loopholes, ensuring that he could enter Royal Court Blessed Land without any obstacles.
However, it was precisely this seemingly foolproof arrangement that made Liu Chen feel a bit lost and at a loss for what to do for a while. He secretly pondered in his heart that if he did too much, it might instead arouse Fang Yuan's vigilance and attention, thereby bringing himself some unnecessary trouble.
After much thought, Liu Chen finally decided that doing nothing was the safest course of action. So, he unexpectedly returned to Thousand Blades Valley. Here, using the Sword Forging Gu formula obtained from Ou Ye's true inheritance, after a period of diligent study and practice, he had now successfully refined a Four-Turn Sword Forging Gu.
With this powerful Sword Forging Gu as an aid, Liu Chen was like a fish in water. He set up a simple forge in Thousand Blades Valley and began the manual forging of various types of famous swords. What was astonishing was that even when forging casually, he could easily create Second Rank level sharp blades. His exquisite craftsmanship, combined with the genuine memories he received, allowed Liu Chen to handle any task.
