Reverend Insanity: Dream Gu

Xiao Family, Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor, central immortal city

Several Gu Immortals sat among the clouds, chatting and laughing. At the head sat the Xiao Family’s two Rank 7 Gu Immortals, Xiao Huchi and Xiao Shirang. The former was bold and outspoken, while the latter was calm, steady, and renowned for his wisdom.

In the future, both of them would cross paths with Fang Yuan. At that time, Fang Yuan was still a Rank 6 immortal zombie. Recognizing his value, they granted him a trade token, allowing him to conduct business involving Netherfire Dragon Pythons, Long-Hate Spiders, and Dragonfish with the Xiao Family.

With that trade token, Fang Yuan’s monthly income exceeded one thousand immortal essence stones. At its peak, his monthly resource income even reached two thousand immortal essence stones.

Because of this, although Lin Yan’s blessed land currently generated around six hundred immortal essence stones each month, it was still far from enough. Even with battle strength comparable to a Rank 7 Gu Immortal, his foundation was only beginning to approach that of Fang Yuan during his time as an immortal zombie.

After all, an immortal zombie existed between life and death. Its blessed land could no longer develop or produce new resources, making it far inferior to the limitless potential of a Ten Extreme Physique.

At the banquet, Xiao Shirang raised his cup with a smile. ”Then it’s settled. I’ll purchase all of Brother Lin’s goods. I only hope your blessed land can produce more spider-type wild beasts and Gu worms in the future.”

This transaction ensured that the resources of his blessed land would have another long-term buyer, increasing his reserves of immortal essence stones from one hundred to nearly two hundred.

More importantly, this was not a one-time transaction but a long-term partnership. With Treasure Yellow Heaven and the Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor, Lin Yan no longer had to worry about selling the resources of his blessed land. They could generate around three hundred immortal essence stones each year. Thanks to the accelerated passage of time within the blessed land, that was equivalent to roughly nine hundred immortal essence stones per month in the outside world.

At that rate, he would need only a month to repay Sun Cu’s debt. The Xiao Family’s only condition was that his blessed land produce spider-type wild beasts and Gu worms in the future. The Ten Thousand Li Silk Corridor consumed enormous quantities of them every year for its maintenance. As long as Lin Yan could keep up the supply, this partnership could continue for many years.

With that in mind, Lin Yan purchased several species of Flame Spiders, including Blood Flame Spiders, Light Fire Spiders, and Profound Yellow Fire Spiders. Adapting them to the conditions of his blessed land, he released them throughout the northern Flame Desert.

The silk they produced was a valuable Gu material, while their corpses naturally condensed into Strange Fire seeds after death. Through continuous breeding and harvesting, they could steadily produce large quantities of Strange Fire resources, making them one of the blessed land’s most valuable economic beast groups.

Their primary food sources were Light Fire Thorns, Yang Fire Willows, and Fire Mulberry Trees. Since Fire Mulberry Trees did not yet exist in the blessed land, Lin Yan purchased a batch from Treasure Yellow Heaven and planted them across blessed land.

At this point, the northern Flame Desert had also become full of life. Various beast groups and vegetation flourished together, making it the second most developed region of the blessed land, surpassed only by the southern Li Fire Plains.

With everything properly arranged, Lin Yan casually tossed the trade token in his hand and smiled faintly.

”It is time.”

His figure flashed and disappeared into the distance, heading straight for the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit.

Moments later, Lin Yan arrived before a vast crimson-gold glazed desert. Charred ravines scarred the land, remnants of past Heavenly Tribulations and Earth Calamities. At its center stood the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit, a colossal crimson sinkhole so deep that its bottom was impossible to see.

Upon arriving at the Blazing Yellow Heaven Pit, Lin Yan immediately set his blessed land upon the ground. After more than a month of continuous development, the Flame Sovereign Blessed Land had consumed a tremendous amount of Earth Qi. It was time to replenish both Heaven Qi and Earth Qi, restoring the balance of the blessed land.

Every blessed land and grotto-heaven faced the same problem. No matter how complete their ecosystems appeared or how prosperous they became, they could never be truly self-sufficient. Without continuously absorbing Heaven Qi and Earth Qi from the outside world, their foundations would gradually decline. Even if countless beast groups, vegetation, soil, and Gu materials were introduced from the outside, they could only slow the process, never stop it.

For this reason, every Gu Immortal had to replenish their blessed land regularly as part of their cultivation.
