Chapter 1034: Learning
In Stormport City, Sage stopped by the local Gu shops and purchased a few of each Gu that were for sale along with their corresponding materials. While he was at it, he stopped by the restaurants, and produce stores to sample the local foods and acquire their ingredients so they could be reproduced on the Inner World. There was also local clothing, furniture, and architectural styles. All of these were sampled to enrich the culture of the Inner World. With samples they could produce their own variations. After returning to Bear Threes home, Sage sent his agents out to scour the whole city as well as the neighboring ones to complete the tactic. They were also charged with acquiring rare and exclusive Gu that the local groups kept to themselves. They also tried to acquire their techniques and Gu raising techniques, using bribes or any other method they could think of, short of murder, to get their hands on them.
All of this was for a simple reason: Sage was entering seclusion. He was here to hide out and so he didnt want to become too comfortable. Due to the time until the Realm Heart matures, Sage was going to spend decades here. If he was constantly spending time out in the city, he would inevitably form relationships and make connections. He would establish karmic ties, even if it was just to the servers or workers at the restaurant he frequented. That alone wasnt a bad thing, but it would tie him to this place. It was much easier to pretend he had already left, doing something that every Cultivator had to do, training alone for many years at a time.
The handful of agents were left to spread through the Xuanyuan Empire to gather information and search for opportunities. Over the many years of growth of the Inner World, they had constantly improved the process of training and they were under the impression that they had been teleported to a distant continent rather than an entirely different world. The populated part of the Inner World was somewhat isolated, the main populated continent being split into multiple Kingdoms. There had been attempts to make a single unified nation, but it just devolved into internal strife. Humans just couldnt help but need to compete with each other and it was easier for the Lang Clan to just use the Prosperity Company to influence all the sides rather than rule them. Rudely, it was also easier to keep them in the dark about the true nature of their world. A necessary evil to prevent doomsday cults, god worshiping, and uprising against the gods. Or at least, keeping the Lang Clan out of the crosshairs of such people. It was inevitable for such things to happen after all.Embark on an adventure to the origins at Nøv€lß¡n#★
At the same time, the research into Gu ramped up and took up much of the Research Team's time and attention. The many varieties of Gu were researched and their abilities studied, comparing their various traits. At the same time, the usage of Gu for Qi Cultivators was carefully studied. A person that had already formed their Inner Core could still connect to Gu, but the Gus growth was more expensive than normal. Further research showed that the Gu formed a sort of feedback loop with their partner. This altered their bodies so that even if a Gu Cultivator lost their Gu and then linked with new ones they would advance much faster than a Qi Cultivator trying to link with them. Having their bodies and meridians tempered by Gu from the start of their Cultivation changed their bodies in subtle ways. Even so, it was useful to learn that even Core Formation cultivators could link to Gu.
Gu Cultivators also used multiple Gu, with only one of them becoming their Core Gu. The other Gu could also rise to the same level as their Core Gu, which then could still be used as supplemental Qi generators and also for their innate abilities. As they learned more, they realized that the hallmark of many famous Gu Masters and Gu Clans were their combination Gu techniques. Just like the Bloods Cursed Embrace and Infernal Qi combination that he had, a set of Gu that seemed worthless could turn powerful when used in combination. These combination abilities could still be used by high rank Qi Cultivators, but this came with a high price tag to raise so many supporting Gu of high rank.
Things turned out to work in a similar fashion for Demonic Beasts, as they couldnt become their Core Gu. The Demonic Core was already in that position. On the plus side, they could rapidly speed up the growth of the Demonic Beast if they were willing to spend more resources that is. Unfortunately, this didnt solve the issue of letting weaker beasts gain laws to reach the same level as the more renowned bloodlines. On the plus side, further research led them to find out an interesting alternative.
For Qi Cultivators who did have an Inner Core, but could not reach any understanding of laws, there was a way out. If ones core was destroyed, they would lose their strength, but as long as their dantian wasnt damaged they could start their journey as a cultivator all over again. A testing accident led to the discovery that a Qi Cultivator could use this time to restart as a Gu Cultivator. Gu Cultivators had a somewhat guaranteed path to Nascent Soul, as long as they could afford it. This expensive alternative was not really worth it for the most part, as it would take the wealth of a large clan to raise just a few of them. Yet, it was also a very useful finding as it hit upon one of Sages worries. If his family did not reach the sixth rank, they would miss out on doubling their lifespan. In the scope of things, living thousands of years was already more than most could ask for, but who would turn down the chance to spend more time with their loved ones?
