The Tao of Immortality Gu: Start by creating your own Water Bear Gu - #36 - Chapter 36 Treasure Hunt

Because of his long life span, Long Xuan was not afraid of wasting time. As a hard worker, working hard was his greatest pleasure. He didn’t mind spending a lot of time on a broken map.

In the next period of time, he spent all his time on completing the incomplete map. He didn’t know how many pieces of white paper he had spent. Finally, after three months, he finally completed the incomplete map and successfully guessed the location of the treasure based on the information on the treasure map.

Long Xuan was ecstatic holding the completed treasure map and walked around the house excitedly. No one could understand the joy of the hard worker after spending countless time and finally succeeding.

He kissed the map with his mouth, then rolled it up and put it in the storage bag, and began to pack his luggage, preparing to go on a long journey to find treasure.

So far, Long Xuan has never gone on a long journey, even to places that are very close.

On the one hand, it is because his strength is too weak, and it is not safe to go too far.

On the other hand, he is responsible for taking care of the medicine garden of Elder Long, so it is not convenient to leave for too long.

But now he doesn’t have to think about this problem. He has five external clones, and he can just send one of them to take care of the medicine garden.

After Long Xuan left Lin’s clone behind, he first went to the market, purchased some supplies for the wild, and stocked up a lot of food, and then went all the way north.

Speaking of which, there is no bigu pill in this world. In order to prepare enough food, he had to prepare an extra storage bag for food, which was extremely inconvenient.

He has made up his mind that when he has time, he must work out the bigu pill formula. Bigu pills are too important for outdoor adventures and must not be missing.

Half a month later, Long Xuan came to a steep mountain range that was hundreds of feet high and continuous, with several mountains towering into the clouds.

From a distance, it looked like a giant beast entrenched here, majestic and imposing.

This place is deserted, with no grass or trees on the mountain, no birds or beasts, and a dead silence.

But Long Xuan did not dare to underestimate this place. The more peculiar the terrain and the less people go, the easier it is to hide treasures.

Ownerless treasures always appear in places where humans rarely set foot, otherwise they would have been found by people in crowded places, so how could it be his turn.

Long Xuan took out the map and looked at it. He found that the treasure should be near this mountain range. He couldn’t help but grin.

He put away the map and began to conduct a carpet search here.

Although the area here is large, Long Xuan’s eyes can see the progress deep underground.

As long as there is a treasure here, no matter how deep it is buried, don’t try to hide it from his eyes.

So not long after, Long Xuan stopped at a cave entrance buried by rocks.

This cave is very hidden. After being blocked by rocks, the entrance is integrated with the mountain wall. Even if ordinary people pass by, they can’t find a cave here.

Long Xuan immediately ordered four clones to move the rocks blocking the entrance, and he rested on the side.

There is strength in numbers, and a gap was soon moved out of the cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave only needs to accommodate one person in and out, and there is no need to move it all.

Long Xuan immediately ordered to stop digging, and then sent Yan’s clone to squeeze into the cave entrance, letting him go in to explore the way and see if there is any danger in the depths of the cave. After confirming that there is no danger, the main body will go in again.

Although the clone can be killed accidentally, Long Xuan can completely condense another one after losing one.

The only disadvantage is that the newly condensed clone needs to be cultivated again, and only one clone with the same attribute can exist at the same time.

In the early stage, Long Xuan’s spiritual power was weak, and the clone could be repaired quickly. Even if it was lost, he would not feel sorry, so he dared to use it casually to explore the way.

But when the realm is higher in the future, the clone can never be lost, otherwise it will be very hurtful to him.

Anyone who condenses a clone needs to pay a very high price, and they all have the characteristics that cannot be lost easily. Long Xuan is already the one who needs to pay the least price.

Yan’s clone did not encounter any danger after entering for half a day. For safety reasons, Long Xuan sent the other clones in one after another, and walked at the end.

Suddenly feeling unsure, he called the last clone, and ordered him to be the last, while he walked in the middle of the team.

After thinking about it, he still felt that the middle position was the safest.

The cave was very deep, and Long Xuan and each clone held torches and moved forward carefully.

Soon, they met three predecessors who had turned into bones, and there were nine full storage bags on the ground.

Long Xuan was afraid that there were poison or mechanisms, so he asked the clone to pick up the storage bags and check the contents.

Long Xuan still had expectations for opening the blind box.

In the nine storage bags, except for some ordinary sundries and a striking diary, the rest were all fossils, and the entire storage bag was filled with large and small strange fossils.

However, in Long Xuan’s eyes, 90% of the fossils did not show progress, and it was confirmed that they were dead insects.

The remaining 10% of fossils showed different progresses, with the longest decimal point having four digits, representing high-quality spiritual insects that mature once every thousand years, and there were quite a few of them, enough for him to make a small fortune.

Seeing this pile of fossils, Long Xuan had already seen that this cave was a fossil vein.

Long before entering here, he had already discovered that there were dense numbers in the center of the mountain.

But after all, he did not have true perspective, so he could only see the progress, but could not tell what the progress represented.

Now he could basically be sure that the progress showed dense insects.

The location marked on this treasure map turned out to be a rare fossil vein.

Looking at the three scarred bones, Long Xuan deduced from his half-baked criminal investigation experience that several people died due to internal strife.

After looking through the diary in the storage bag, he roughly guessed what had happened here.

A long time ago, four casual cultivators accidentally walked into this inaccessible and desolate place. When they were looking for a cave to rest, they accidentally discovered that there was a priceless fossil vein here.

The four of them were immediately overjoyed. After preparing food and a large number of storage bags, they began to dig out the fossils here.

However, mining mineral veins requires huge manpower and material resources, and thousands of miners need to be mobilized.

The four of them dug desperately. Even if they kept digging until they were old, how much could they dig?

They soon discovered that mining was a laborious job, which was a waste of time. You couldn’t practice during mining. If you wasted a lot of time practicing, no matter how much money you made, it wouldn’t be worth the loss.

The best choice is to let mortals do this kind of hard work. Gu cultivation time is precious and cannot be wasted here.

The rule of this world is that mortals are the main body engaged in production, and all the dirty work is left to mortals. Gu cultivators only need to be responsible for cultivation all the time.

But all the mortal villages are in the hands of the big clans. How can the four casual cultivators have the ability to mobilize the mortals.
