8: invest

If he makes good use of it, becoming a powerful individual in the future is almost a certainty.

Wang Gou suppressed the excitement in his heart and slowly began to explore the System's functions.

He even started to plan in his mind how he could make himself appear to be a gou, yet still receive rewards from the System.

But just at this moment.

A middle-aged man silently appeared in his courtyard.

The way he looked at him was a bit strange.

"Senior, may I ask what brings you here?"

Wang Gou couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Although his Cultivation was not very high, he was at least at the seventh level of the Body Tempering Realm.

And the person in front of him could infiltrate here silently.

His Cultivation must be beyond what he could match.

At the very least, he should be a Core Formation Realm Family Elder.

But why would such an Elder pay attention to him, such an unremarkable small fry?

He was just a branch Disciple.

Could it be because he had just bound the System?

Wang Gou suddenly felt worried.

He was still not cautious enough, which was why he had been targeted.

At this moment, Wang Dong also couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

He had originally thought that it would be good enough for the Family to find one purple-Aptitude clansman, or even another blue-Aptitude clansman.

But the one in front of him was actually a golden legend!

Wang Dong was shocked, but what shocked him even more was that this guy in front of him had the same origin as him.

Wang Dong silently activated his Eye of Truth.

A translucent, illusory template then appeared before him.

"Name: Wang Gou"

"Cultivation: Body Tempering Realm Seventh Level"

"Aptitude: Unranked"

"Comprehension Ability: High Grade"

"Fortune: gou wang system, as long as he conforms to the System's gou method, he can become stronger"

Is this gou wang system for real?

He didn't expect this kid to also be a Transmigrator.

Wang Dong felt even stranger in his heart.

But just at this moment, a mechanical voice appeared in his mind again.

"Ding: A golden investment target has been discovered. The host can make an investment."

"Option One: Invest one thousand Spirit Stones, and you can obtain one thousand catties of pure Spiritual Source."

"Option Two: Invest twenty bottles of Body Tempering Pills, and you can obtain six bottles of Pure Yang Pills."

"Option Three: Invest a Heaven-Grade Low Grade Martial Skill, and you can obtain a Life Dao Seed."

Note: All options can be selected simultaneously.

Seeing this, Wang Dong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

This kid actually had a Low Grade Aptitude, but since he was a golden investment target.

One must know that Wang Yan, who possessed the Aptitude of a Great Emperor next door, was only a blue-Ranked one.

And this one, was two Ranks higher than him.

In that case, their inherent Aptitude didn't have much difference.

If they had to be compared, Wang Yan was even higher.

But the problem lay in their Golden Fingers.

One was a Venerable's remnant soul, and the other was a Heaven-Defying System.

The ultimate result was that one had blue Aptitude, while the other had golden.

The outcome was clear: the System was far from comparable to any remnant soul Elder.

The disparity was such that even the rewards returned were so different.

Wang Dong couldn't help but ponder.

Spiritual Source, like Spirit Stones, was a relatively common currency in this world.

But it was even more precious, as it contained purer Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

The exchange rate was generally one catty of Spiritual Source for ten thousand Spirit Stones.

However, even if you had ten thousand Spirit Stones, you might not be able to exchange for one catty of Spiritual Source.

This was merely the official price; in reality, it was priceless.

This was not only related to its purity, but the main reason was that some smaller forces simply did not have the qualification to mine it.

At the very least, one had to possess a God Realm powerhouse to be able to cut Spiritual Source.

As for the Life Dao Seed.

The appearance of such a thing made even Wang Dong feel somewhat incredible.

This should be considered a legendary item, right?

The reason Wang Dong knew about it was because he had extensively read books in his previous life.

His knowledge and experience could almost be said to be the greatest in the entire Wutan City.

Even in the Qingxuan Sect, serving as a Law Elder of the Scripture Pavilion should not be a problem.

After a while, Wang Dong's eyes flickered, and he came back to his senses.

He looked at Wang Gou in front of him.

A smile played on his lips.

"I see, young man, you have a full forehead and extraordinary bones, appearing to be superhuman, with a prominent head and a Dragon-like appearance already evident. You will surely achieve great things in the future."

"I intend to focus on nurturing you, but there are a few questions I need your cooperation with."

Wang Gou's heart tightened.

These words sounded like praise, which was correct.

But in web novels, people who were praised like this often didn't end up well.

Oh no! He wasn't going to be finished, was he?

Having just awakened the System, Wang Gou couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.

However, at the moment, he could only cooperate and say,

"Senior, this Junior will not dare to withhold anything he knows."

"Good! What is your name?"

Wang Dong's tone was light.

But in reality, he already had an idea, as all of Wang Gou's identity information was almost transparent to him.

"Senior, this Junior's name is Wang Gou."

He actually didn't lie to him.

It seems he's still not cautious enough.

Wang Dong joked to himself in his heart, then continued,

"Indeed, you are the one I was looking for. Do you know that your father and I were once old acquaintances?"

"On his deathbed, he entrusted me to look after you. This time, I was in seclusion for too long, over fifteen years, and accidentally delayed this matter."

"Have you ever resented me in your heart?"

Although Wang Dong's words were all fabricated.

Only one point was true.

Wang Gou's father indeed had an old acquaintance with him.

He was once a guard by his side.

Later, he died unexpectedly while on an external mission.

As for the orphan he left behind, logically speaking, he indeed had the responsibility to take care of him.

Of course, caring was caring; he just needed to arrange for his subordinates to handle it.

There was no need for him, the Clan Chief, to personally inquire about it.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Gou's face changed, and his eyes showed some disbelief.

"It's actually Clan Chief! Wang Gou greets Clan Chief."

Wang Dong's seclusion was a top secret in the Wang Family.

But after such a long time, he had also heard about it.

So he understood in his heart.

As for Wang Dong's words about being old acquaintances with his father.

Wang Gou believed seventy percent of this point.

But there was still thirty percent of vigilance.

He didn't think that such a big shot would remember past friendships and deliberately seek him out today.

As for the reason given, being in seclusion for many years, Wang Gou felt that although it was somewhat reasonable, there were still some peculiarities.

However, at the moment, he showed surprise on his face and quickly bowed to Wang Dong.

"No need for formalities."

Wang Dong revealed a smile, then flipped his hand.

A large pile of dazzling Cultivation resources appeared before him.

These were exactly the items he had taken from the Wang Family's treasury.
