Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Lin Yan’s divine sense swept across the entire Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, allowing him to gain a complete understanding of its overall condition.

The four major regions—Flame Desert, Molten Flame Mountains, Li Fire Plains, and Thunderous Hills—were all vast and rich in dao marks. Any one of them alone was larger than Sun Cu’s Stoneheart Blessed Land. More importantly, each possessed a unique environment capable of nurturing high-grade resources and supporting the development of immortal resource points in the future.

The more Lin Yan inspected the blessed land, the more amazed he became. As expected of a blessed land born from a Ten Extreme Physique.

Its foundation far surpassed that of ordinary blessed lands. Whether in terms of size, environment, resource potential, or future development prospects, it stood among the very best of newly formed blessed lands.

With only a modest amount of management and investment, the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land could easily establish seven or eight immortal resource points. Once those resource points matured, they would continuously produce immortal materials and generate a steady flow of wealth.

At that point, the blessed land would naturally enter the second stage of development.

According to Lin Yan’s understanding, Sun Cu’s Stoneheart Blessed Land was still in the early stages of development. Its primary focus was establishing simple food chains and producing large quantities of ordinary Gu materials and mortal resources.

The foundation of the entire blessed land consisted mainly of three categories. The first was ordinary vegetation, while the second was various herbivorous beasts that relied on those plants for survival. These two layers formed the base of the ecosystem and supported everything above them.

The truly valuable asset was the sand wolf population.

Sand wolves possessed considerable combat power and were highly favored by Enslavement Path Gu Masters. Because of this, they could be sold for a respectable price. Over the years, Sun Cu had painstakingly expanded their numbers until the population reached several hundred thousand.

Every year, he would sell a portion of the surplus wolf packs in exchange for a few immortal essence stones. Even so, the profits were not particularly impressive.

According to the time flow ratio of Stoneheart Blessed Land, one year in the outside world was equivalent to roughly fifteen years inside the blessed land. Even after years of careful management, the sand wolf population generated only a little over one hundred immortal essence stones annually.

For an ordinary Rank 6 Gu Immortal, such income was already respectable.

Yet compared to the profits generated by Sun Cu Transformation Stone Immortal Gu, it was barely worth mentioning.

This was also why Sun Cu valued Transformation Stone Immortal Gu so highly. A blessed land required years of development before it could produce meaningful returns, while an Immortal Gu capable of generating profit could become a source of wealth almost immediately.

Of course, Flame Sovereign Blessed Land possessed a far stronger foundation than ordinary blessed lands.

After inspecting the various regions of the blessed land, Lin Yan gained a clearer understanding of its foundation.

The next question was how to turn that foundation into actual profits.

Establishing resource points was not as simple as planting resources and waiting for profits. Every decision required investment, and not every resource point was worth developing.

Lin Yan’s gaze shifted toward the five Immortal Gu he had just refined. Besides generating profit, he also had to consider their feeding requirements.

Ideally, the future resource points of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land would not only provide food for his Immortal Gu but also generate resources valuable enough to be sold. Only then could cultivation, Gu nourishment, and income form a stable cycle.

Lin Yan began calculating the feeding requirements of his Immortal Gu. With his Quasi-grandmaster attainment in Refinement Path, determining the food requirements of Gu worms was hardly a difficult task.

After a brief calculation, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Among the five Immortal Gu, Three Flavors Otherworldly Flame Immortal Gu was actually the easiest to feed. Although advancing to the Immortal rank had greatly increased its feeding requirements, its food still remained relatively simple, requiring only large quantities of flesh, blood, souls, and a small amount of immortal essence.

As long as he introduced sufficient beast groups into the blessed land, food would never become a problem.

Immortal essence was even less of a concern. Thanks to the forty-to-one time flow ratio of Flame Sovereign Blessed Land, its annual production of green grape immortal essence was astonishing. Compared to other Gu Immortals who constantly worried about immortal essence expenditure, Lin Yan enjoyed a considerable advantage in this regard.

Next, he turned his attention to Oil Flame Immortal Gu.

Its feeding requirements were equally simple. The Gu needed large quantities of fire oil and Fire Path Gu worms.

Fortunately, both resources could be found within Flame Sovereign Blessed Land. Vast reserves of fire oil lay buried beneath the Flame Desert, enough to satisfy Oil Flame Immortal Gu’s feeding requirements for a very long time.
