Liu Chen had already returned to the underground cave he had dug several years ago. This cave was his secret base, and only he knew the location of its entrance. A Gu formation to conceal aura was also set up here, making it an excellent hiding place for Liu Chen.
Inside the cave were six jars of exquisite wine. These were no ordinary wines; Liu Chen had exchanged them from the Shang Clan Treasure Realm through the Living Treasure Window.
This Shang Clan's Treasure Realm was practically a Pinduoduo, where one could acquire anything they desired.
To obtain these fine wines, Liu Chen had paid six Five-Rank Gu worms as exchange.
The moment he saw the Mind Wandering Gu transform into a light cocoon, Liu Chen eagerly grabbed a jar of wine and unhesitatingly tilted his head back, gulping it down. The rich aroma of the wine instantly filled his nasal cavity, intoxicating him. However, an ordinary Gu Master would likely get drunk to death from just a small sip of this exquisite wine.
Liu Chen was not unprepared. He quickly activated the Clear Mind Gu on his body, and a cloud of Qi emerged from the top of his head, forming a thick cloud of sobriety.
This cloud of sobriety could dispel the drunkenness in Liu Chen's mind, allowing him to maintain a clear consciousness.
Liu Chen continued to drink the fine wine while observing the refining process of the Fixed Immortal Travel Gu.
As jar after jar of wine was poured into his stomach, Liu Chen's body gradually filled with the exquisite drink. Each sip of wine was like a burning flame, scorching his throat and then burning its way down his esophagus to his stomach. His cheeks turned crimson from the effects of the wine, but his hands never stopped, continuing to pour the wine down his throat.
It wasn't until the fourth jar of wine was completely empty that Liu Chen suddenly felt all the wine in his body being pulled by an invisible force, converging together.
And all the alcoholic Qi and drunkenness in his body disappeared at this moment, converging into a Gu worm.
Just then, Liu Chen's heart stirred. He knew that the Mind Wandering Gu was finally refined!
"It's done!"
However, he had no time to celebrate. The moment the Mind Wandering Gu was successfully refined, he unhesitatingly took it out.
Then, he took out the Golden Snake Gu from his System backpack, ordered it to swallow the Mind Wandering Gu, and quickly placed it back into the System backpack, isolating the Immortal Gu aura of the Mind Wandering Gu.
Liu Chen took a deep breath, stabilizing his emotions. Now that the Mind Wandering Gu was in his hands, his next plan could begin.
Liu Chen quickly activated the Sword Evasion Gu, and with a flash of sword light, he burst out of the ground.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Fang Yuan, and no one noticed Liu Chen's actions.
Liu Chen, like a flash of lightning, quickly arrived in front of the Earth Spirit Overlord Turtle.
There, he discovered a colorful treasure chest that only he could see. Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Chen reached out and grabbed the treasure chest, then quickly turned back, rushing out of the Blessed Land like a gust of wind.
This action even made the Overlord Turtle Earth Spirit feel strange, but the Earth Spirit no longer cared, as the Blessed Land had reached its limit.
The moment Liu Chen rushed out of the Blessed Land, the Blessed Land also reached its limit. The Blessed Land began to shake violently, then collapsed with a roar. The Great Same Wind swept over everything, devouring everything in the Blessed Land.
The Gu Masters inside frantically rushed towards the Blessed Land, but under the might of heaven and earth, only a handful of people survived.
After Liu Chen rushed out of the Blessed Land, he immediately and unhesitatingly activated a Rank Five Mortal Gu — Fixed Immortal Travel.
This Gu worm could only be used in the great world and could not penetrate the barrier of the Blessed Land. With the activation of Fixed Immortal Travel, Liu Chen's figure instantly disappeared from his original spot, as if he had never appeared.
"That is!"
Tie Ruo Nan, however, noticed that flash of sword light at this moment, and a figure surfaced in her mind.
But she had no time for other thoughts, after all, refining an Immortal Gu with a Mortal body was an unprecedented feat in the Gu World for millions of years, and now it was witnessed by so many Gu Masters... Northern Plains Corrupted Poison Grassland
The naked Liu Chen, like a ghost, silently returned to the land of Northern Plains.
Liu Chen quickly changed into a set of Northern Plains-style clothes, blending himself into this vast region.
However, the moment he arrived in Northern Plains, he felt a powerful force suppressing his cultivation. This force came from the regional rules of Northern Plains, which forcibly suppressed Liu Chen's cultivation to the Peak of Four-Turn Realm.
Liu Chen secretly mused, "Fang Yuan should have become the master of Fox Immortal Blessed Land by now. That Soul Shaking Mountain is really a good thing."
He couldn't help but recall Lang Ya Blessed Land, the place where he had seized the Opportunity first. Now, the Opportunity of Lang Ya Blessed Land had fallen into his hands, and Fang Yuan probably couldn't enter it anymore.
"Does this count as a significant change to the plot?" Liu Chen muttered to himself. He originally had a clear judgment on the development of the plot, but now, because he had snatched away Lang Ya Blessed Land, a crucial Opportunity, the plot seemed to become blurred.
Without Lang Ya Blessed Land as a transit point, Liu Chen also lost accurate judgment regarding Fang Yuan's subsequent plans. He didn't know how Fang Yuan would respond to this situation, and the direction of the plot became unpredictable.
But no matter what, the Northern Plains Hero Assembly was an Opportunity he would never give up, and impersonating Chang Shan Yin should also remain unchanged.
After all, Lang Ya Blessed Land was simply too important to Fang Yuan. Whether it was to destroy the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building or in his later development, Lang Ya Blessed Land played a crucial role.
The Mind Wandering Gu also fell into his hands, and without the assistance of the Second Aperture Immortal Gu, Fang Yuan's plan would also become more troublesome.
"Forget it, forget it, it's better not to think about those things. Even if he loses Lang Ya Blessed Land, Fang Yuan might still gain support from other Blessed Lands. Just like when he never met Shang Xin Ci and instead went to the Jia Family, his ultimate gains were even greater." Liu Chen secretly pondered, finding it difficult to predict future developments, so he decided not to dwell on it and instead focus on achieving his current objective.
His destination this time was the Northern Plains Hero Assembly. There, the characters who could catch his Dharma Eye were few, with the most notable being Hei Lou Lan, Ma Hong Yun, Zhao Lianyun, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Liu Chen thought that he might be able to obtain the coveted colorful treasure chest from them.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
During this month, the suppression on Liu Chen gradually dissipated, and his cultivation slowly recovered to the Peak of Rank Five state. This period was both an ordeal and a rare cultivation Opportunity for Liu Chen.
During the process of recovering his cultivation, Liu Chen did not waste his time but instead used it to search for his targets. After some effort, he finally found his destination — Thousand Blades Valley.
