We flew for 3 hours at stable pace before we landed near a clear lake on top a mountain peak. Various flora were cultivated near it surrounding like a celestial garden and there was a path leading to manmade caves.
After dropping us Mr Zhu rested at bottom of lake, its arrival altered surrounding air as mist spred from bottom covering whole lake and spreading a refreshing feeling and nurturing nearby vegetation.
Taking a deep breath I got inside my assigned cave it was much smaller than the main cave where master rested but it did not feel suffocating, bluish green moss covered the wall filtering air and a fresh aroma permitted through their tiny cyan coloured flower bringing a sense of relief.
Entire trip I tried to learn all general information about Gu world and took out items she lend me, a rank 2 strong muscle gu, flower bud gu and 1000 primeval stones for my new goal ie to reach rank 1 peak stage in next 3 weeks and Fully utilize strong muscle gu.
So for next three weeks I woke up early morning and prayed before a statute of Golden crow with deep blue colour eyes it was not my but Mr. Zhu's idea, yes this freaky snake was quite inteligent for just being a hundred beast king, I spent half an hour to fresh up and tend to need of wisdom grass, snake water Lilly and bitter sweet water berry bush planted near Crystal Lake with help my new muscle strength it concluded in less time. Around first break of daylight I prepared breakfast for myself, my master and Mr. Zhu. Master stead ate wisdom rabbit baby brains mixed with human blood and eyes. I did not loose my appetite since I saw rich customers order much worse and disgusting 'food' in my home planet but their wallets were heavy and my moral shaky.
After finishing up my other duties assigned by master I started my cultivation when I could not handle pain from using strong muscle gu a rank above me I nourished my aperture walls. With abundant supply of primeval stone which my master got for her 'art piece' and 98% aptitude I reached peak rank 1
My innate Gu Void heart seed boosted my, mind recovery it was not that much since my poor boy was only rank 1 but with help of serine water sping and bitter sweet wine I achieved this progress.
It has been a week since I achieved my rank 1 peak cultivation but I didn't break though without proper guidance. I decided to ask my master but she is preparing to raise her vital gu to rank 3.So instead she lend me strong bone gu so I did not stay idle
The pain is much worse than of strengthening my muscles caused, it is like scraping and polishing of my bones which made them more itchy so I asked Mr. Zhu he told me to shed my skin. I mean it's a practical advice but not or me.
Then I asked my master she told me choose weapon I lik
e, my first answer was a firearm but they did not exist here or more so would be redundant here than I took my second option brass knuckles.
I questioned why she used mortal weapon since it is normal for gu master to make use of them, her answer was surprising to say the least she used to play/compete against her brother in her home world but usually got beaten so she started to learn use weapons, traps, cheap triks etc. thus she was beaten only 8 times out of 10 which she was weirdly proud about...
Then I got to understand why she gave me brass knuckles in her opion if my whole body hurt my itchy bones would be gone, as crazy it sounded, it showed some result now my whole body was beaten like a wet dog so I could care less about some bones.
In this Gu world heavens are fair so I was able to grasp more hand to hand techniques, footwork techniques and how to maintain consciousness while being beating to pulp. It also helped that my sadistic master righteously healed me to once again beat me I remember now brother Zhu told me she was frustrated due to a gu recipe to late to regret now I swer if I survive this, with that new brother of mine I going to get mad drunk.
After 1 week 'training' she asked me to observe her refinement proces and try to gain experience which will help me advance my vital gu which unlike other was special to us otherworldly demon.
