So I’m in the beginning of Northern Plains arc, after he leaves the blessed land of the Hu Immortal.
Anyway, by this point he already has the hundred man soul, and he was making transactions with the Immortal Crane sect, one of which was the relic gu that would propel him to rank 5 peak stage in exchange for some guts gu.
I know he talks about how valuable the guts gu is especially for the soul path, but unless I missed something shouldn’t he have taken the offer and bargained to give the least amount guts gu. Advancing to that stage seems like such a major boost that it’s worth it, it’s on the cusp of being an immortal, especially since his rank became suppressed temporarily in the northern plains. Is this explained at all or any thoughts?
