Gu Master Era: My Toad Swallowed the School Beauty at the Beginning

Inside the secret realm, Wang Xiao led Yan Ruoyun on a scenic tour, eventually arriving at the Twilight Marsh.

In Wang Xiao's eyes, the Twilight Marsh was a treasure trove. Last time, he had harvested a large amount of Twilight Grass and Swiftwing Grass, as well as thirteen Poison Dart Frog Spirit Gu.

This time, Wang Xiao came here to refine Gu!

Now, ordinary Spirit Gu were no longer worthy of Wang Xiao's attention. What he wanted to refine was naturally not ordinary Spirit Gu.

Wang Xiao had a total of two Gu refinement stone slabs. One was for refining the "Blood Shadow Mantis," and the other was for refining the "Mang Gu Toad."

Wang Xiao had collected almost all the materials for refining the Blood Shadow Mantis, with only two ingredients missing, which he had already commissioned Wan Keying of the Wan Clan Merchant Guild to collect on his behalf.

On the contrary, the materials for the "Mang Gu Toad" slab, which he had just obtained, were coincidentally gathered first.

Therefore, Wang Xiao decided to refine the Mang Gu Toad first.

After much consideration, he concluded that the Twilight Marsh in the Dawn Secret Realm was the most suitable place to refine the Mang Gu Toad.

Because this swamp was naturally suitable for frogs to survive, it had previously nurtured a large number of Poison Dart Frogs, thirteen of which had evolved into Spirit Gu after eating a large amount of Twilight Grass and Swiftwing Grass.

Refining the Mang Gu Toad required a large number of Red Jade Frogs as a foundation. These frogs would devour each other, and with the help of a special Gu medicine, combined with the Gu refinement stone slab, a unique Mang Gu Toad could be born.

Before that, Wang Xiao had a lot of work to do:

First, he had to cultivate a large number of Red Jade Frogs in this swamp;

Second, he had to plant a large number of Lantern Grass in the swamp, because Lantern Grass would attract a large number of flying insects to gather, which could meet the food needs of the Red Jade Frogs;

Third, he had to refine a large amount of Gu medicine to promote the mutation and evolution of the Red Jade Frogs;

Fourth, he had to cultivate a large number of Red Jade Frog Gu in this swamp!

Fifth, using the Red Jade Frog Gu, according to the Gu refinement method recorded on the stone slab, he would carry out a second Gu refinement. After adding the stone slab, he could refine the King of Ten Thousand Poisons—the Mang Gu Toad!

In fact, refining Gu was not that difficult; the key was that the process was troublesome and consumed a lot of time and resources.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao was not short of money now. With a large number of spirit stones thrown in, Zhong Li was able to purchase a large number of Red Jade Frog eggs, as well as a large number of Lantern Grass seeds.

There was actually a simpler method, which was to purchase a large number of Red Jade Frog Gu, but this was simply impossible. There were not that many Red Jade Frog Gu available on the market.

Therefore, Wang Xiao could only cultivate a large number of Red Jade Frogs himself, and then use the secret recipe recorded on the stone slab to catalyze the Red Jade Frogs into Spirit Gu.

...............

Wang Xiao stopped with Yan Ruoyun near the Twilight Marsh. He left Yan Ruoyun to set up camp, and rode a Spirit Gu into the Twilight Marsh alone.

As soon as he entered, "croaking" sounds rose everywhere. There were Poison Dart Frogs everywhere.

"Biu~ biu~ biu~"

These Poison Dart Frogs actually spat at Wang Xiao collectively.

Of course, Wang Xiao couldn't tolerate this. With a wave of his hand, all the Spirit Gu on his body were released, driving them to devour the Poison Dart Frogs.

Doing so was undoubtedly very wasteful, because there were so many Poison Dart Frogs in this place, which could be used to refine Poison Dart Frog Gu.

But refining Gu was too time-consuming!

Wang Xiao was not short of money now. With this effort, it would be better to directly purchase Poison Dart Frog Gu.

He wanted to cultivate Red Jade Frogs here, so the Poison Dart Frogs must be eliminated, because the two were different frog species. Once they met, they would definitely fight, and the newborn Red Jade Frogs were no match for the Poison Dart Frogs.

Immediately, dozens of Spirit Gu on Wang Xiao's body, including the Poison Dart Frog Gu, all began to hunt down the Poison Dart Frogs everywhere.

Wang Xiao himself began to scatter Lantern Grass seeds all over the swamp.

Lantern Grass was a low-level spirit grass. In addition to being used as medicine, its greatest feature was that it attracted all kinds of insects!

These attracted insects could provide a constant source of food for the Red Jade Frogs.

A few days later, the Poison Dart Frogs in the entire swamp were cleared out!

Wang Xiao then began to release a large number of Red Jade Frog eggs into the swamp.

After that, he didn't stay idle. He also took the Spirit Gu to search around the swamp for animals that posed a threat to the frogs. These hidden dangers had to be eliminated in advance, lest the Red Jade Frogs be eaten by other animals after breeding.

When all obstacles were cleared, the Lantern Grass that Wang Xiao had initially scattered had taken root and sprouted, lush and verdant throughout the entire swamp.

These Lantern Grasses, once evening came, would bloom with flowers like small lanterns, and the flowers, like fireflies, emitted a faint glow.

The flowers of the Lantern Grass had a peculiar pollen. When blown by the wind, the pollen would drift to the entire Dawn Secret Realm, and by then, the insects of the entire secret realm would be attracted!

At this time, the Red Jade Frog eggs released into the swamp also hatched one after another.

A few days later, countless Red Jade Frogs were hopping around in the swamp.

Red Jade Frogs were non-toxic frogs. They were blood-red all over, in a semi-transparent state, and the internal organs inside the abdomen could be seen clearly through the skin. The entire Red Jade Frog looked like it was carved from red jade, and the appearance was very beautiful, which was also the origin of their name!

At night, the croaking of frogs echoed in one piece. Every time this happened, Yan Ruoyun would stay away, as she didn't like too much noisy sounds!

But Wang Xiao couldn't leave. Many predators would break into the swamp at night, using the Red Jade Frogs as food.

Therefore, he spent most of his time cultivating during the day, and patrolled around the swamp all night!

After a period of time, Yan Ruoyun saw that Wang Xiao patrolled hard every night, so she joined the patrol, sharing a lot of the burden for Wang Xiao.

But Wang Xiao couldn't bear to let his girlfriend patrol all night, so he tried to hand over the night patrol task to the fox girl, Ah Li, and she actually completed it very well!

Wang Xiao had observed Ah Li's actions through the Wind Dragonfly and found that she had simply walked through the swamp easily, and no beasts or magical beasts outside the swamp had ever set foot in the swamp!

Ah Li's efficiency in guarding the Red Jade Frogs was even higher than Wang Xiao and Yan Ruoyun combined.

Wang Xiao was already sure that Ah Li must have the royal bloodline of the Sky Fox Clan!

Because the information given by the system said that the Sky Fox Clan royal family was born with the ability to control all beasts!

She must have used her ability to drive away the beasts approaching the swamp!

After discovering this secret, Wang Xiao completely handed over the task of guarding the swamp to Ah Li.

In this way, he had more time to cultivate, and he also had more time to spend with Yan Ruoyun in their two-person world.

His relationship with Yan Ruoyun advanced by leaps and bounds, eating and sleeping together, with only the last step not yet broken through!

Time flies, two months have passed!

In two months (six days in the Gu Master world), Wang Xiao's spiritual power has increased to level 2 (20%)!

And at this time, the first batch of Red Jade Frogs has been cultivated!

In the entire Twilight Marsh, millions of Red Jade Frogs croaked in one piece, which can be described as overwhelming and deafening!

At this time, Wang Xiao began to concoct the Gu medicine. This was a unique Gu medicine recorded on the "Mang Gu Toad" stone slab, which could stimulate the Red Jade Frogs' killing instinct, causing them to devour each other and promote the evolution of the Red Jade Frogs!

After spending a day and night, Wang Xiao concocted a large amount of Gu medicine.

He and Yan Ruoyun went to catch more than a dozen magical beasts nearby, stuffed all the Gu medicine into the bellies of the magical beasts, and threw them directly into the Twilight Secret Realm!

Thus, a tragic battle between the Red Jade Frogs was staged!

All the Red Jade Frogs went crazy, desperately vying to devour the Gu medicine. And the Red Jade Frogs that ate the Gu medicine immediately soared in combat power like they had taken stimulants, and began to frantically devour their own kind!

This was a tragic battle, all the Red Jade Frogs participated in it, and Wang Xiao was the mastermind who directed this war!

This massacre lasted for a day and a night!

When the war ended, the entire Twilight Marsh fell into a deathly silence!

Wang Xiao took Yan Ruoyun and Ah Li and began to enter the swamp, like picking duck eggs, and began to pick up Gu eggs all over the swamp!

These were the Red Jade Frogs that had evolved into Red Jade Frog Gu after mutual devouring under the action of Gu medicine.

Because the base number of Red Jade Frogs was too large, and the area of the Twilight Marsh was large enough, the Red Jade Frog Gu formed was also enough!

After searching the entire swamp, they picked up a total of 378 Red Jade Frog Gu eggs!

Looking at baskets of Gu eggs, Yan Ruoyun began to doubt her life!

In the Gu Master world, no one has ever refined Gu in batches like Wang Xiao.

Even refining one Gu is not easy for others, who can refine more than three hundred at a time like him!

Even more shocking was the fox girl Ah Li!

She knew that the Gu Master's Spirit Gu was very powerful, and she was captured by the Gu Master with Spirit Gu.

But she never knew how Spirit Gu was born.

Some time ago, Wang Xiao asked her to guard the Red Jade Frogs, and she didn't understand it very much, and didn't know what was the use of raising these useless little things!

Until now, she witnessed the entire Gu refinement process, these Red Jade Frogs, whose power was as weak as ants, evolved into Spirit Gu, and she completely realized the magic of the Gu Master's way!

The Sky Fox Clan's princess suddenly had an idea. If I can learn the secret of refining Gu, and I escape back to the Sky Fox Realm in the future, I will have made a great contribution to the Sky Fox Clan. Maybe I can compete for the throne of the Sky Fox Queen because of this!
