Reverend Insanity’s Formation Venerable

Wood path, it was a path developed by Genesis Lotus Immortal Venerable, a venerable of the righteous heavenly court, likely the one with the most Immortal essence, he had also lived for a considerably long time.

The wood path excelled in aperture management, also, southern border had lots of trees and plants, more likely than not, I would be fighting in places full of wood, this was the best I could do.

I looked at the receptionist, she was a rank 2 gu master, although she was a gu master, she had likely awakened her aperture so as to increase the value of this business/city. This showed the wealth of the Shang clan.

She smiled, it was a radiant smile, "Yes sir, we have a collection of over a thousand gu worms of the wood path, this is the basic information in this Information path gu." 

She handed me the gu, I nodded and smiled back, I sent my essence in and could see all of these gu worms.

"I almost forgot how pricey these rank 3 gu's are, they range from 3 thousand primeval essence stones to 10,000. This wood burst seems good, it expands and then explodes in an AOE damage, the time is also short but it harms anyone in it's path."

"Around 5,000 PES (primeval essence stones), this 'Plant grows gu is also good, it heals damage by eating plants, however, it can't solve poison, this 'wood poison gu' is also amazing, I can coat my wood attacks in poison, it can also extract poison from most things as well."

"'Wood splinter gu,' it can attack in one direction, 'Become wood gu,' it can harden my skin, there's also Tulsita flower, Fang Yuan used this to store, as for movement, I still have the rank 2 gu I just refined, this can still be used, as for investigation, there's this 'wood sensation' I can feel things around 100 meters unless it's restricted. All together, I have attack, defense, healing, storage, investigation, and movement, for a total of 34,500 PES."

"I can't blame myself, I could only carry so much," I had a bitter smile, but those valuables were indeed truly valuable, if someone connected the dots, I wouldn't have anyone to blame besides myself.

"I will buy these gu, I will also sell this ice defense gu," I decided to keep the vine gu even though it's rank 1.

The receptionist nodded, "this ice defense gu is quite valuable, with this the total is 34,000 PES." I handed her the 34,000 primeval stones from a storage gu I bought for cheap. It's rank 1 but I also decided to keep it.

She went to the storage and bought out these gu, I refined them on the spot since the will of the other person was withdrawn.

"Come back again," she waved her hand. 

I waved back before going away.

I also went to buy some paper and started to create strategies, "All of these gu cost around 3-5% primeval essence besides the rank 2's, that one is about 1% primeval stones. 

I started to plan combos and created a plan for every situation, rather than having to think of them on the spot, I would rather have a few strategies ready. 

"These rank 3 gu really eat a lot, 1,000 PES would only have his back for around 2 years at best. Luckily I had hidden that loot in different places, even if 1 or 2 is found, all of them are unlikely to be found. I need to plan to get them back." I thought quickly. 

"That blood demon, Tie clansmen, and other demons are around that area where the incident happened, I have also heard rumors of Tie clan mobilizing a rank 4 and rank 5 gu masters to destroy the blood path inheritance, humph, they are only trying to maintain their reputation, reputation is the most important after all."

Days passed

There was an arena like system like in Shang clan city. I visited that area every day. "Woo, look at Fei Bi, he's so strong, I bet 500 PES on him." Many people were at the stadium like construct looking at Fei Bi, he had recently made a name for himself, he obtained the inheritance of the dark path rank 5 righteous path master, he had a comprehensive inheritance and could decide advancement or retreat, this city was created by a branch of the Shang clan to expand their power in neutral territories and he was now a fiancee to the city lord's daughter. 

I had also been battling, I won a few times and managed to increase my understanding of my gu. 

"That Fei Bi, he was a lone cultivator but had low talent, now that he has this inheritance, this Shang clan branch would want it, they are helping him win by deciding the battles offstage, after all, how could he, a rank 2 peak, beat a rank 3 peak?"

The next day

The city was in absolute hustle and bustle, many people were moving around, they all had complex expressions, "did you hear, the blood path inheritance was found, the blood demon defeated 3 rank 4 Tie clansmen and entered it, he has yet to come out, Tie clan has mobilized 3 rank 5 and Shang clan has also sent 1 rank 5."

I heard this and was shocked. "That blood demon, he was ousted by his clan but turned out to have rank A aptitude, he also found a blood path inheritance and rose to fame and then became a rank 4, now he could defeat 3 rank 4, when he becomes rank 5, he will be unstoppable.
