Towards dusk, the sun at the end of the horizon looked like blood.
Rays flowed into the school where about 50 students were sitting upright.
On the upper stage, the academy elders read out the names one by one, handing out the primeval stones to them.
This is a weekly subsidy of the academy where each 7-day allowance will be distributed. It could be said that it was financial help for these teenagers.
After all with their ability, to feed and nurture their own Gu was a huge financial pressure.
"Gu Yue Fang Yuan." The academy elder read out loud.
Fang Yuan got up from the chair by the window in the last row. He went up on stage, received 2 bags of money.
In 1 bag there are 3 primeval stones, clan allowance. The other bag contained a 10 primaval stone reward.
"Work hard." Said the academy elder.
He looked at Fang Yuan deeply. Fang Yuan continued to reach number 1, and this made the elders who were initially disappointed in him start to notice a little.
Fang Yuan nodded his head and took the bag into his arms, returning to his seat.
"Damn it, he actually got number 1 again..."
Gu Yue Mo Bei directed his gaze at Fang Yuan firmly, his heart somewhat angry.
"The two moonblades hit the doll's neck in a row. Is this due to sheer luck or real skill?"
Gu Yue Chi Cheng narrowed his eyes. From the end of the assessment until now, this question kept ringing in his mind.
Not just him, many students involuntarily turned their gazes toward Fang Yuan.
This question haunts them. Despite the defeat, their hearts were dissatisfied and wanted to question what had really happened.
When the day was about to end, the academy elder announced a matter.
"You've all been in the academy for quite some time now, and you're also familiar with how to use your vital Gu."
"In the next few days I will teach you all how to nurture your aperture, advancing the cultivation realm of Gu Master."
"The higher the realm of a Gu Master, the thicker your primeval essence will be."
"A rank 1 Gu Master has a green copper primeval essence, a rank 2 Gu Master has a red steel primeval essence and a rank 3 Gu Master has a white silver primeval essence."
"1 section primeval essence red steel is comparable to 10 parts primeval essence green copper."
"Similarly 1 part white silver primeval essence equals 10 parts red steel primeval essence!"
"You all have to remember, Gu is just a tool we use. Cultivation is the foundation of us Gu Masters."
"The higher you rank, the stronger the Gu you can use. In the next 3 months, anyone who could lead and break through to rank 1 intermediate stage would receive a reward of 30 primeval stones."
"At the same time he will be able to pick the second Gu first. After 3 months, we will choose the class president and 2 vice class chairmen based on the results."
"Chairmen will enjoy subsidized 10 primeval stones while the vice-chairman of the class will get 5 primeval stones!"
"All right, that's it for today. You can all go."
The words of the academy elder made the academy explode with noise.
"It's time to choose the class president and vice class president!" Someone clenched his fists in excitement.
"The class chief receives 10 primeval stones every 7 days, and the class vice-chairman gets 5 primeval stones?"
"If I can be the first to reach the intermediate stage 1st rank, I can definitely become the class leader." The other had light in his eyes.
"Primeval stone is not an important focus. The important thing here is the position of the class chairman and vice class chairman, it represents glory and puts one's identity above another."
"When normal students saw the class president, they all had to bow down and greet him."
Gu Yue Mo Bei and Chi Cheng did not lack a primeval stone, but they considered the glory of the position very important.
"To be the class leader, without any mistakes was the first person to break through to rank 1 intermediate stage!"
"That means when big brother sees me in the future, he has to bend down and automatically greet me. Wait a minute, where's brother?"
Gu Yue Fang Zheng subconsciously turned his head back, but Fang Yuan's chair was empty.
The students walked out of the academy.
"Where is Gu Yue Fang Yuan?"
Gu Yue Mo Bei wanted to look for Fang Yuan and question him directly.
"Hmph, he really ran away quickly. Is he scared? Looks like he got lucky again in today's assessment." Gu Yue Chi Cheng sneered.
"Whatever, it's only 10 primeval stones. I don't need to care about this small matter, now the important thing is to break through to the intermediate stage and get the position of the class president."
Gu Yue Mo Bei narrowed his eyes, looking to his side where Gu Yue Chi Cheng and Gu Yue Fang Zheng were.
These two figures were true enemies, while Fang Yuan was only a small C-class talent, he was not equal.
"In the first 2 times, Fang Yuan got lucky and got the number 1."
'But this time it was a cultivation test, and the focus was on cultivation talent. When his talent was higher, his advantage became much greater.' Thought Gu Yue Chi Cheng, depressed in his heart.
His original talent was only C class, just because of the cheating that made him get the illusion of having B class.
"Only the position of mere class president and 2 vice class leaders made them itch."
"How warm-blooded and naive are they at this age."
Fang Yuan sneered as he leaned against the academy gate.
The so-called glory is just a valuable tool that the upper levels use to motivate the people below them.
In the end, it was just a layer of illusory glory, useless!
His 500 years of experience had long since made Fang Yuan understand some of the secrets of life.
"Whether it's about a clan, a sect or a group of demons, whether it's this world or this earth, all organizations are like this."
"High and low positions are set, making the promotion law clear, letting the people in the organization rise endlessly from below."
"Because the pursuit of profit is of human nature, and the position of authority often leaves people with an edge, creating the illusion that one lives a more precious life than another."
"Power is like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey."
"Human desires are stimulated by him, and each of them secures his personal advantage with someone authorized for it."
"After rising one level, there will be a higher level."
"While they are busy seeking personal gain, their hard work is squeezed out of them and their value is exploited by the top positions."
"In every organization, as long as there is a chain of command, it is to serve those who are at the top of the ranks."
"The so-called position of class president and vice class chairman is like the smallest carrot, luring everyone into the structure of the clan."
"And to stop those below from realizing the truth, those in higher positions integrate shared values, clearing up ideas of glory, good deeds, etc."
"High and low positioning is done in conjunction with unbalanced benefits. Sometimes the use of religion is done to dominate people's hearts."
"This is the real truth, but it is unfortunate that too many people in the world do not understand, they foolishly work hard for others."
"And for every organization in the world, its most basic essence is just one thing, and that is, Redistribution of resources, where the higher the position, the more resources they can enjoy."
In his previous life Fang Yuan had established the Blood Wing Demon Sect in the Central Continent, where he taught up to tens of thousands of people.
He established the positions of Demon Soldier, Demon General, Demon Sage, etc.
Each position gave a corresponding advantage, letting many people gather like ducks, letting Fang Yuan rule them.
This kind of experience allowed Fang Yuan to clearly understand the way of thinking in this principle.
"Thus any organization is just a representation, whereas the real base is just one word, a resource."
"Without a source of food, one would starve to death. Without water, one would die of thirst. Without cultivation resources, one would become weak and sooner or later, be bullied to death."
"And as for a Gu Master, the primeval stone is the most important resource!"
Fang Yuan's eyes were as deep as an ancient pond, and the moment his mind reached this point, the corners of his lips curved slightly, creating a line of grin.
He had long since left the academy, and he was currently standing at the entrance gate of the school. He saw the first group of students coming out, gradually walking over to him.
"This is Fang Yuan."
"What's he doing in the middle of the gate?"
"Hmph, every time I see his dysfunctional state die, I feel very upset."
"Don't worry about him, he's probably waiting for someone."
Young teenagers don't notice it. Just as they were about to walk, Fang Yuan stepped up and blocked them.
"I loot. Everyone had to hand over a piece of primeval stone before they could leave."
