The Path of Immortality: Starts With Creating Water Bear Gu

Long Xuan's face darkened. He also felt that he might not be able to defeat such an existence.

But why would he waste time fighting someone like that? This divination was becoming more and more absurd, almost bizarre. How was it that he kept running into people who practiced refining forbidden Gu?

Previously, he had already encountered a guy who refined the Plague Demon Gu. Was his life destined to encounter all ten of the Forbidden Gu? Just how bad could his luck be?

“Did you see a vision where I was killed by that person?” Long Xuan frowned and asked.

Wu Yaoyao shook her head. “No, the last scene I saw was that you realized it was impossible to kill him on the ground, so you planned to make the ground disappear.”

“In the end, I don't know what method you used, but you caused the ground to collapse. The explosion was so massive that I was blasted away as well, so I didn’t see how the battle ended.”

Before Long Xuan could respond, Di Xin shook her head and said, “Your divination is getting more and more nonsensical. What kind of power could make the ground disappear? Do you really think he could do that? This kind of strength is a bit unbelievable!”

“Exactly, your divination must have gone wrong again! I mean, seriously, can you give me a normal prediction this time? Both times before, you've been wrong!” Long Xuan said.

“You think these are all wrong predictions? That might not be the case. The story may go astray, but the people in the story are definitely real. Just who are these people you will encounter in the future?”

Wu Yaoyao was starting to get a headache. She could immediately tell that this young man was extraordinary and destined for greatness, which is why she insisted on using her Gu for divination.

Time proved her vision right—this young man was indeed exceptional. But she never expected him to be this exceptional.

People of different levels encounter different kinds of individuals, and his future was on such a high level. Just how extraordinary would his life be to come across people of that caliber?

It seemed like she had truly caught a big fish this time. If all the things she saw in his future came true, her divination Gu would rise to new heights.

Wu Yaoyao was both happy and worried at this moment.

Although this young man was destined for greatness, weren't there a bit too many people refining Forbidden Gu in his future? That was not a good sign for the future at all!

From the fragments she saw today, she could vaguely deduce that the world would likely fall into chaos, and a world-shaking event would occur that would go down in history.

It seemed that her divination had revealed something truly incredible this time.

Wu Yaoyao took a deep breath, sat down on the ground, and closed her eyes again, preparing for the third and final divination.

The third divination would be the last one.

Each person has a limit on how many times they can be divined. You can't keep using the same person to repeatedly gain experience.

And for every person, the limit is three times.

Seeing her slowly close her eyes, Long Xuan frowned deeply, feeling a growing sense of tension.

Would she predict again that he'd meet another Forbidden Gu refiner this time?

He was truly terrified. There weren’t many people in the world capable of refining Forbidden Gu, so how did he keep running into them?

As he was thinking about this, Wu Yaoyao's face suddenly turned pale.

“Wah...”

Immediately after, she spat out a mouthful of blood and opened her eyes, her face even more terrified than the previous two times.

“What’s going on? Are you alright?” Long Xuan was shocked. Why did she suddenly cough up blood? This couldn’t be a good omen.

A divination that caused her to spit blood couldn’t possibly foretell anything good.

Wu Yaoyao stared at him with wide eyes, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but quickly closed it again, as if she didn’t dare to speak.

“You’re courting death! How did you manage to encounter him again? That person is beyond what I can easily divine anymore!”

“I didn’t see much in this divination.”

“I can only tell you that your future opponent…”

“In the presence of the sky, he cannot die; in the presence of the earth, he cannot die; in the presence of matter, he cannot die. He has refined a multitude of Forbidden Gu. Cough, cough…”

Upon hearing this, Long Xuan’s expression froze completely.

A future opponent of his couldn’t die in the sky, couldn’t die on the earth, and couldn’t die in the presence of matter. How could he possibly fight that? Wouldn’t he be completely doomed?

How had he even come across such a person? Was that really a human? Was it even possible for a human to defeat such a being?

If he couldn’t die on the earth, he could still destroy the ground. But if he couldn’t die in the sky, could he blow up the air? This was simply an unwinnable fight.

Where did these monsters keep coming from, and why was he always the one to run into them?

Long Xuan was no longer calm.

He was beginning to regret asking this diviner to predict his future. What kind of enemies would he face? This was starting to feel like a death sentence!

Look at the things she had predicted—each scene was more terrifying than the last, making it impossible for him to keep his composure. It was messing with his state of mind.

Was her prediction real or fake? Long Xuan’s mind was filled with chaotic thoughts.

Wu Yaoyao looked up at him gravely and said seriously, "Your future is truly terrifying. You must not underestimate it. My divination may not be accurate, but the figures that appear in the prophecy are definitely real."

"Believe me, within a hundred years, this world will definitely undergo a major upheaval. Many, many people will die in this catastrophe, and everyone will be swept up in it."

As she finished speaking, Wu Yaoyao suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Hey! Wake up! Don’t you dare fake an injury here! I didn’t even touch a single finger of yours!"

Long Xuan was startled and hurriedly helped her up, pressing her philtrum.

"She must have predicted something she shouldn’t have, and got backlashed, right?" Di Xin frowned and said, uncertain.

"So what do we do now? We can’t just leave her here. What if she gets picked up by traffickers?" Long Xuan said, headache brewing.

"Why don’t you carry her and find the ship doctor to check on her? After all, she got hurt because of divining your future. You’re kind of obligated to take her for treatment," Di Xin joked.

"Alright! I really owe her one now. If this goes on, she might cling to me for good."

Long Xuan sighed helplessly, hoisting her onto his back as he went to look for the ship doctor.

What he didn’t notice was the slight smirk that briefly flashed across Wu Yaoyao’s lips before vanishing again.

At that moment, Wu Yaoyao sneered inwardly. She had lost 500 high-grade Spirit Stones because of him, and she wasn’t about to let him off that easily.

This man’s future was clearly destined to become one of the world’s top powerhouses. His future was truly extraordinary. Even if his crew seemed ordinary now, once they followed such an exceptional figure, their futures would undoubtedly be just as extraordinary.

That’s why she needed to stay on the ship. She wanted to divine the fates of those crew members.

Those crew members were all like potential Gu (insects used in spiritual practices). To her, they were all limitless treasures. Once she completed all their divinations, she would be truly rich.

She didn’t care where the ship was headed. After all, as a diviner who refined Gu, she had to roam the world. The sea was her home. She didn’t care where the ship was going; if it took her to a big place, even better.

Little did Long Xuan know that this crafty woman had already firmly latched onto him.

Some time later, after the ship doctor examined Wu Yaoyao's condition, he said, "She divined a person she shouldn’t have, and that person sensed it, so she suffered some backlash."

"But it’s nothing serious. With the help of my pills and some rest, she’ll recover soon."

Hearing this, Long Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good. I wonder whose child this is, running around everywhere. She’s so young, and yet she's already out here exploring. Aren’t they afraid she’ll get lost?"

"Why do you all look so grim? Did something bad happen?"

Seeing the gloomy expressions of the crew members, Long Xuan asked again.

One of the crew members sighed and said, "Nothing major happened. It’s just that the spiritual herbs we obtained from the Death Sea are selling at incredibly low prices, far below our expectations."

"We discovered that there are already a lot of spiritual herbs from the Death Sea being sold here, and in significant quantities. But the prices are ridiculously low."

"Spiritual herbs from the Death Sea, which should be valued as fourth-grade herbs, are being sold here at the price of first-grade herbs, or even less. It’s outrageous."

"With prices this low, we can barely make any Spirit Stones. It’s really disheartening for the crew."

Di Xin stepped in and said, "This was expected. Other forbidden seas may have herbs that the outside world can obtain, but the water in the Death Sea is black. The herbs that grow in the black water are unique, exclusive to the Death Sea, and cannot be found elsewhere."

"And if a herb is unique and unavailable outside, there wouldn’t be any pill recipes for them. Without pill recipes, the herbs have little use, so their value naturally plummets."

Upon hearing this, the crew’s expressions grew even more disappointed. The excitement they had felt when harvesting the herbs was now replaced by deep disappointment.

However, Long Xuan seemed to have an idea and asked, "You’re saying that you’ve seen a lot of Death Sea herbs on the market?"

The crew members nodded. One of them said, "The Black Dragon Pirate Group has been raiding the Death Sea for a while. All of these herbs come from them."

"Big Lonely Island and Small Lonely Island are the closest to the Death Sea, so the Black Dragon Pirate Group has been dumping a large portion of the Death Sea’s herbs on these two islands. Our herbs have no competitive advantage, and the pirates have driven the prices down."

"The reason the Death Sea herbs are so cheap is partly due to their oversaturation in the market."

"The Black Dragon Pirate Group has sold so many herbs that now the Death Sea herbs are as cheap as cabbage on Big Lonely Island."

"I see." Hearing this, Long Xuan’s eyes lit up. He realized this could be his chance to make a fortune.

"Don’t worry. The fact that Death Sea herbs are as cheap as cabbage is actually great news for us. This is our chance to strike it big."

"Follow my orders. Gather all the Spirit Stones we have on board and buy up every Death Sea herb on the market. The more, the better!"

"This time, I’m going to make a massive profit!" Long Xuan’s eyes gleamed with ambition.
