Chapter 257: Choosing All sorts of Gu worms had always challenged common sense.
Fang Yuan, who was already used to this, naturally did not think too much about it. Since he had already obtained the information, he would go to the appropriate shop to buy it.
Through special methods of cultivation, a Rust Gu that feeds on gold did not need to be of a high level. However, if the target it needed to feed was a rank four Silver Quality Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, it meant that this Rust Gu needed to be at least rank two Bronze quality.
Such a Gu worm would not be worth more than twenty primeval stones, so it could usually be bought for around fifteen.
As for gold, it was something that ordinary mortals could use. For senior Gu masters, the cost was extremely low.
After arriving at a Gu worm shop, Fang Yuan said to the shopkeeper sitting behind the bar counter.
“Boss! Give me a rank two Silver quality Rust Gu that feeds on gold.”
“Alright, sir, you need a rank two Silver quality Rust Gu, right? Please wait here, I’ll go get it in a while.”
That shopkeeper was very amiable. After confirming the Gu worm, he planned to go to the warehouse to take it out.
But at this time, he seemed to have thought of something and turned around to ask Fang Yuan again.
“Sir, this Rust Gu feeds on gold. If you only need one Rust Gu, it will not live for more than a few days. Do you want to buy some gold as food for the Rust Gu?”
Fang Yuan did not think that he could buy gold and the Rust Gu at the same time in this Gu material shop, but since the owner asked this question, then of course there was stock here!
Since he did not want to run around more, and he wanted to save some strength, Fang Yuan quickly said.
“Yes, yes! Boss, if you have some, then give me some too.”
“Okay!”
The owner replied and then turned to leave, so there was only one worker left in this Gu shop keeping watch.
Fang Yuan waited at the side, and after a while, the shop owner walked out with two boxes. They were two very special boxes that seemed to be made of crystal.
The shop owner said to Fang Yuan after walking closer.
“Hello, sorry to keep you waiting, we still have two Rust Gu left. They are also specially cultivated, and they feed on gold.”
“But because the path of cultivation is different, so there are some differences. I brought both of them to show you. When you have determined which one, we’ll determine the price.”
“Oh, don’t mind these crystal boxes. I use them because the specially cultivated Rust Gu have sharp teeth. Whether it is a wooden or metal container, they can easily bite through it. But this crystal dug out from the eastern sea can perfectly isolate them.”
“Oh, I didn’t expect there to be so many explanations!”
Fang Yuan looked at the two crystal boxes, one red and one purple, and the owner opened them in front of him.
Inside the red crystal box was a frog-like Gu worm. Its whole body was golden, and even the lumps on its back were dark gold. Its eyes were like coins, and it looked very strange.
And in the purple crystal box, there was a small bit of golden soil. On the soil, there was a small patch of grass with small leaves growing.
The Gu worm shop owner pointed at the golden toad in the red crystal box and said to Fang Yuan.
“Customer, look, this is the Golden Treasure Swallowing Toad that was synthesized through biological alchemy.”
“It is easy to feed, it likes to be quiet, and can help the owner in battle at critical moments.”
The owner pointed at the soil in the purple crystal box and the grass on the soil, and said.
“Customer, look, this is the Golden Soil Breath Algae! This Golden Soil Breath Algae is a Rust Gu that was synthesized through plant alchemy.”
“In comparison, not only is the composition of the rust produced by the Golden Treasure Swallowing Toad and the Golden Soil Breath Algae different, the metal laws contained within are also slightly different.”
“The speed at which these two produce rust is also different. The Golden Soil Breath Algae can only produce rust, which is the soil beneath this Golden Soil Breath Algae! But it does not have any combat ability.”
“May I ask, customer, which kind of specially cultivated Rust Gu do you need?”
Looking at the enthusiastic Gu worm shop owner, Fang Yuan hesitated.
The Gu worm system did not explain to him what kind of special metal ingredients he needed for the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod that he had just obtained.
And in the Gu Dao Jiuzhou world, Fang Yuan had found two types of Rust Gu in just one shop of the Yan Shen Empire. One could imagine that in the entire territory of the Yan Shen Empire, including the entire Gu Dao Jiuzhou world, there were even more types of Rust Gu!
For a moment, Fang Yuan, who was having difficulty choosing, hesitated. He looked at the red crystal box, then looked at the purple crystal box, and finally gritted his teeth and said.
“Boss! Wrap these two Gu worms for me, I want them both.”
Since he had the Gu worm system, he did not need to take care of these Gu worms on a daily basis.
Since the Golden Treasure Swallowing Toad and the Golden Soil Breath Algae were the ingredients needed for the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod, then he would buy them both!
He would use them to give the Golden Heaven Splashing Rod a daily change of taste, accumulating some different metal laws. Since he had the support of the storage treasure bag, he did not lack these primeval stones.
“Oh, alright! One Golden Treasure Swallowing Toad and one Golden Soil Breath Algae! This Golden Treasure Swallowing Toad needs 17 primeval stones. I’ll give you a bit of a discount for the Golden Soil Breath Algae, so 14 primeval stones for it.”
“I’ll add in a little more gold. All these cost a total of 32 primeval stones.”
The shop owner took out another gold bar from his sleeve and handed it over with the two crystal boxes.
Fang Yuan happily took out the corresponding number of primeval stones from the storage treasure bag and handed them over. At the same time, he kept the two crystal boxes and one gold bar.
This storage treasure bag looked like an ordinary purse, but it had a huge space inside. At the same time, it could store Gu materials without special characteristics, ordinary items and other inanimate objects. It could also temporarily hold a certain number of Gu worms.
It was a storage Gu worm that Enlightenment Realm Gu masters often equipped.
After obtaining what he wanted, Fang Yuan kept the storage treasure bag and left the shop.
After walking a little further, Fang Yuan silently communicated with the Gu worm system and stored the red crystal box and the purple crystal box, each containing their respective Rust Gu, into his body’s space.
