"..."
"FANG YUAN!!! You're lucky I can't harm you, or I would kill you right now... No, I would make you feel a pain worse than anything you've ever experienced or even imagined!"
"Uhhh. I've never seen someone as shameless as you! You ended up with all the good stuff, damn it!"
Lang Ya looked furious, his eyes red with rage. He genuinely looked like he wanted to kill Fang Yuan right then and there.
The reason? Heh... Lang Ya had successfully refined the Second Aperture Gu, an Immortal Gu, and just as he was reluctantly about to hand it over to Fang Yuan, the Divine Travel Gu appeared beside the very same person who had sold it to him in the first place.
Clearly, Fang Yuan had pulled off the same old trick again and managed to reclaim the Gu after it was used in refinement.
"Ahem, Lang Ya, why are you so angry? Even if I didn't get the Gu, someone else would have, you know. Actually, you're the one benefiting here." Fang Yuan looked as if he was being wrongly accused.
"Actually, I just tried my luck and happened to get the Gu. I had no plan at all. Believe me." Fang Yuan put on a sincere expression.
"...Oh, so you just happened to get all the top four wines by mistake and drank them by mistake. Well then, why don't you give me this Gu by mistake?" Lang Ya looked at Fang Yuan as if he were an idiot.
Fang Yuan saw this and decided to give Lang Ya a minute to calm down, thinking, "Was Lang Ya always this smart? It seems I can't trick him using normal methods in the future!"
"But for now, I really got two Immortal Gu in one day! Hehehe!"
He admired the two Immortal Gu in his possession: Second Aperture Gu and Divine Travel Gu.
"But these benefits still aren't enough."
After some time, Fang Yuan looked at Lang Ya again. "My friend, I feel guilty, so I've decided to sell this Gu to you—but on one condition."
"Ha? Really? Are you actually planning to sell it?" Lang Ya was surprised.
Fang Yuan smirked, still holding the Divine Travel Gu. "Of course. But I also have something else." He revealed the semi-finished Second Aperture Gu that he had refined before.
Lang Ya's eyes widened with a mix of joy and greed. With both the Divine Travel Gu and this semi-finished product, he could complete the rare Second Aperture Gu. The temptation was hard to resist.
"What do you want for them? Name your price." Lang Ya looked eager to get them.
"I'll state my condition first so you can be prepared."
"I want you to use the Divine Travel Gu right now in a refinement and allow me to use the same method again to try and get the Gu back." Fang Yuan said calmly.
"...Ha?"
"WHAT? You want me to buy a Rank 6 Immortal Gu from you, and then you’ll just get it back again?!" Lang Ya felt like he was dreaming. He only had one serious question now: How could someone this shameless be allowed to be born?!
"Hear me out first." Fang Yuan explained quickly. "Of course, I won’t charge you the price of a full Immortal Gu. We can make a deal. How about you, Lang Ya, state a fair price?"
"Fine." Lang Ya gritted his teeth before speaking. "The fair price would be 40% of the Gu’s worth. That's my final decision."
"Deal." Fang Yuan nodded. He had a plan for this Gu and needed it back, so this was just a way to gain more benefits—nothing more.
"Now, onto this."
"I've poured all my mental and physical effort into creating this semi-finished Gu," Fang Yuan said with a look of heartbreak. "I'll still sell it to you, just because we're such good friends. Otherwise, I would never sell it to anyone."
"Hmph! As if I'd believe that." Lang Ya had a mocking smile as he said this. "And what do you want in return?"
"I want all the Gu recipes you have for a certain path," Fang Yuan said, his voice calm but his eyes gleaming with ambition. "And in exchange, I'll also give you the recipes I showed you when I first came here."
"Are you stupid? Do you even know who I am?" Lang Ya looked at Fang Yuan as if he were a real idiot. "Do you have any idea how many recipes I have for each path?"
"Besides, I won't give anyone any Immortal recipes or my Refinement Path recipes."
"Heh!" Fang Yuan smiled and said, "No need to worry. I only want the mortal recipes of a certain path."
"I want the recipes for the Path of ___"
(A/N: What path do you think it will be this time?)
The land spirit hesitated. "Even though that seems like a high price …"
"I'll do the deal in exchange for the 40% worth of the Immortal Gu, this semi-finished Gu, and the remaining recipes you have."
"This is a fair price, as you'll be getting many mortal recipes. There are even some really rare Gu for this path."
Fang Yuan knew that he was the one benefiting here, so he agreed. "Deal!"

It's actually been a long time since I read reverend insanity , so I don't remember much.

Enslavement was my second option actually then I decided on another. Also none of those three are from the five known paths i hinted
CHEONMA
Qi, Enslavement, Wisdom
Coreal
Both wrong. Hehe~I will give a hint: it's commonly known for mortals as one of the strongest offensive five paths
CHEONMA
Luck or Transformation
