Middle Stage

Hello, author again, this here is a pretty important chapter (MC finally embarks on his gu master journey).

Thank me :).

Also, I made a small mistake. I forgot that in Gu Cultivation according to the wiki, there is no early stage. Only initial and middle stages.

Anyway,

What do you guys think about poison path?

What do you guys feel about flying swords and stuff?

Also,

"Cultivating….. is frustrating."

Copper Green primeval essence slammed against the walls of his aperture. A large portion of it simply bouncing off of the aperture walls, falling back into the primeval sea.

A singular yellow crack, almost like spiderwebs formed on the walls of his aperture.

The rest of the copper green primeval essence shifted, three waves soon formed. All of them slamming against the singular crack continuously in droves.

After repeating this process many times

The crack slowly enlarged, covering a large portion of the transparent aperture walls. The miniscule amount of primeval essence slowly shined, slightly increasing in quantity.

All of the remaining primeval essence formed a gigantic tidal wave, rushing towards the crack, flowing into it and being expended at an ever increasing rate. The crack enlarged further.

Even more cracks formed in the aperture walls, looking like gigantic spiderwebs. Wei Huan, using only a few drops of primeval essence which bounced back from the walls without being expended, made these droplets slam against the aperture walls once again.

The cracks slowly reached a breaking point. An extremely bright light shined, blinding any who saw it. Multiple rays of light shone across the entire aperture, getting tangled.

The bright light soon stop shining to reveal a wall made of flowing light particles which slowly moved downwards.

"Finally….. I am a rank 1 middle stage gu master." Wei Huan thought before hearing a voice,

"Have you succeeded?" Wei Huan's father spoke,

Wei Huan quickly stood up and jumped in excitement, he had finally ascended to the middle stage after days upon days of bitter cultivation.

His father quickly smiled, feeling proud of his son's first breakthrough. He soon walked out of the basement and shouted:

"Our son finally broke through! Prepare some Char Siu and rice!"

This dish was naturally Wei Huan's favorite dish since he arrived in the Gu world. Wei Huan rushed to the dinner table, quickly wolfing down his food before rushing to the academy to collect his first gu.

It was still in the evening therefore the academy had not yet closed. He quickly ran through the somewhat empty street,his messy, shoulder length black hair moving with the wind.

He came to a hard stop, dust getting kicked up simply due to momentum. He quickly walked towards the staff quarters of the academy. He soon came to halt at "Quarter Number 1 Academy Elder Hei Luan". He quietly knocked for a few seconds, hearing footsteps. The door opened to reveal an older man with pattern baldness, this was naturally Elder Hei Luan. He opened his mouth slowly to speak:

"What?"

"I broke through to the middle stage, Elder"

"And you're here to collect your gu worm I presume?"

"Yes"

"Alright, come with me."

Elder Luan soon stepped out of his home, walking towards the academy. Naturally, Wei Huan followed him. The Elder walked near the academy building and took a left, continuing to walk until he reached a small seemingly man-made cave with gu masters standing guard near the entrance.

The Elder walked into the cave and opened a large metal vault door using some kind of formation. He motioned Wei Huan to enter the vault, saying:

"Take any single gu worm within the cave. Don't be greedy and take another. If you do, we will know."

Wei Huan walked into the vault, hearing the door shut behind him. He looked around him, seeing a large variety of gu worms of all shapes and sizes.

He started looking over the gu worms, starting from his left. After seeing a small gu worm looking like a tiny spider whose skin was as dark as the abyss, he looked downwards, seeing a tiny scroll listing its effects.

"Dark Spider Gu"

Consumption: 15% of Copper Green Primeval Essence (middle stage)

Rank 2 Gu Recipes

"Poison Spider Gu"

"Dark Tarantula Gu"

"This gu…. It seems versatile but it's effects are a bit weak, no? Besides, it consumes way too much primeval essence for just a couple tiny strings which may not land" Wei Huan thought,

He looked towards his right, dismissing the Dark Spider Gu. He saw another gu worm, it appeared large and blue, like a rhino beetle.

"Beetle Strength Gu"

Rank 1

Path: Strength

Type: Offensive

Effect: Temporarily grants the user extreme upper body strength.

Consumption: 20% Copper Green Primeval Essence (middle stage).

Rank 2 Gu Recipes

"Flying Beetle Strength Gu"

"Mud Beetle Strength Gu"

"Hm, This gu worm's effect seems quite good. It's primeval essence consumption isn't so bad for it's effect either."

Regardless of this Gu Worm's effects, Wei Huan still wanted to look at the other gu worms in the treasury. He turned his head and looked at another gu.

"Dark Fog Gu"

Rank 1

Path: Dark

Type: Concealment

Effect: Produces a dark fog in the area to conceal the user and disorient the enemy.

Consumption: 9% Copper Green Primeval Essence (middle stage)

"This gu is good but not much offensive use against gu masters…. I don't think I'll be taking this one." Wei Huan thought before turning to look at another gu,

This cycle continued many times, each gu worm being declined by Wei Huan due to various reasons like primeval essence consumption, effect and uses.

"Dark Sword Gu"

Rank 1

Path: Dark

Type: Offensive

Effect: This gu produces an extremely sharp sword made of darkness, even able to cut through certain kinds of metal. This sword lasts for an hour before dissipating.

Consumption: 15% of Green Copper Primeval Essence(middle stage)

"This gu worm is practically made for me, it can be used for a long period of time with a minimal primeval essence consumption and what's even better is that it can create a weapon"

1 hour later

Wei Huan soon walked out of the gu treasury, a pitch black sword floating in his aperture.
