Fang Yuan Do's

CHAPTER 43 - The Sixth Purple Golden Stone

Copper green primeval sea experienced ups and downs, ebbs and flows.

Above the surface, the Liquor Worm curled up into a sphere, emitting steam that gradually developed into a white mist.

The waves of primeval essence with 'swoosh', rushed against the current and into the fog.

When the tide is half over, and the color is getting darker. From the initial stage of the jade green, it had been transformed into the middle green pale stage.

The intermediate-stage primeval essence falls into the primeval sea, but does not mix with the early-stage primeval essence.

As if denser, it sank to the bottom.

Thus, the situation of being the top layer of the primeval sea was filled with early stage primeval essence, while the bottom was an intermediate stage primeval essence.

As time went on, fog circulated within the aperture.

Under the purification of the Liquor Worm, eventually, the early stage primeval essence continued to decline, while the intermediate stage primeval essence gradually increased.

It could be seen with the naked eye where the middle-stage primeval essence of the lower layer gradually rose, while the early-stage primeval essence of the upper layer continued to decline, but also rose at sea level.

As Fang Yuan refined his primeval essence, he extracted the primeval essence from the primeval stone at the same time, quickly replenishing the shrinking primeval essence in his aperture.

Finally, its 44% primeval sea aperture was fully purified into an intermediate-stage primeval essence.

“All thanks to the middle-stage primeval essence, or I will not be able to open the stone 5x in the gambling den.”

Sitting in a lotus position on his bed, Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

It's late at night.

After he got out of the gambling den, he did not wander around to the other shops, but rather returned to the academy.

Despite being on the outskirts of Gu Yue Village, as an early stage 1st rank Gu Master, having 538 primeval stones was still too much.

This was not just because the primeval stone was heavy and troublesome to carry everywhere. It also attracted the wishes of others, in another sense, it would endanger his life.

If there was a late stage 1st ranked Gu Master, or even a rank 2 yearning for his assets, with Fang Yuan's current abilities he would not be able to compete.

“Wealth comes and goes, but man dies of wealth, it's sad. What is ridiculous is that many people in this world cannot understand it."

"Good milk brings many people, but also drowns many others.”

Fang Yuan's lips curled up into a cold grin as he looked at the gray white primeval stone in his hand.

The complete primeval stone is about the size of a duck egg. But the stone in his hand, as it had been taken from half its essence, became smaller.

Fang Yuan did not regret it.

All have advantages and disadvantages.

Fang Yuan was only a C-class talent, yet he used Liquor Worm Gu to purify his primeval essence, and his primeval stone expenditure was many times that of people his age.

But it was because of this that he was able to overcome his lack of talent. If his actual cultivation speed could be calculated, he would be able to rank in the top 3.

Fang Yuan returned the primeval stone into his money bag and took out the last purple gold fossil.

He bought a total of 6 fossils in the gambling den and opened 5 on the spot, bringing the latter back with him.

His eyes shone as he activated Moonlight Gu, grinding with five fingers, slowly dissecting the stone.

The purple gold fossil gradually shrank under the blue ripples, and finally grinded into nothingness, leaving a pile of powder on the ground.

Fang Yuan was not surprised, because in stone gambling, you lost 9 out of 10 times.

Even with his 500 years of experience, he could only overcome 8 defeats out of 10 times.

And in the remaining 2 times, it depended on whether it was the living Gu or the dead Gu.

The dead Gu basically had no value.

As for the living Gu, they might not be a rare type of Gu, and even if it was the extremely precious Gu, one might attract a life-threatening crisis because of it.

Fang Yuan's current cultivation level was still very low, being at the very bottom level of the Gu Master.

The Mudskin Toad Gu that he had obtained earlier, if not for the fact that this was the Gu Yue clan, it might have been forcibly snatched away by that Jia Jin Sheng.

Gambling was never a way to develop family wealth, and in fact it was a cause of bankruptcy and greater debt.

Although the last purple gold fossil did not have Gu, Fang Yuan was not disappointed. Even he looked at the pile of stone powder and slowly smiled.

Indeed, his main motive of entering the gambling den was for this pile of stone powder. That Mudskin Toad was just something he got from comfort.

He secretly opened the fossil, and other than him, no one knew the truth of this result.

From this day on, he could claim that the Liquor Worm had been resurrected and subdued from the purple gold fossils.

This idea is amazing.

First, no one could confirm what Gu was really inside the fossil.

Who would dare to say that the Liquor Worm could not hibernate inside the purple gold fossil?

That's very possible!

Second, he had several eyewitnesses. He opened Mudskin Toad, which would leave a strong impression on Gu Master in the gambling den.

Thirdly, even if one were to endlessly question him, he could force everything to his luck.

Luck is something unexpected.

Even if someone suspected that this was the Flower Wine Monk's Liquor Worm, on grounds like 'luck', they would not know how to refute Fang Yuan.

Inside the dark room, Fang Yuan's expression was ominous.

Covering one side is similar to covering a fire with paper. There will be a day where he will be exposed.

In order to eliminate a hidden threat like the Liquor Worm, he had to attack first. This was Fang Yuan's style.

Moreover, he had thought about it carefully, and in the cultivation process that would be followed, he needed to expose the Liquor Worm.

“For a Gu ranked 1 like the Liquor Worm, it is valuable for a Gu Master ranked 1."

"But for a rank 2 Gu Master, it was no longer a match for them. So even if this was revealed, all I would get was attention, but it would not affect the situation as a whole, so there was nothing to worry about."

"It's not like Spring Autumn Cicada. If Spring Autumn Cicada is revealed, I will probably die horribly in the next moment.”

500 Years of experience in dealing with matters had made Fang Yuan very familiar with the human mentality, with every thought of them clear to him.

"The Flower Wine Monk and Mudskin Toad's legacy, among my memories are only these 2 treasures here, and now that I have obtained them, is, what I can do next is only a gradual and steadfast cultivation."

Fang Yuan sighed deeply and relaxed his body, feeling a strong sense of tiredness enveloping him.

A primeval sea cannot replace sleep.

Fang Yuan pulled out his blanket and lay down on his bed, his eyes still half-open.

Although there were 500 primal stones hidden under the bed, as well as many jars of green bamboo wine, he still felt a sense of urgency and danger.

500 More of this primeval stone was already a boundary form.

From developing to declining, Fang Yuan was clear that for the next time the expenditure of the primeval stone would only increase in size.

But his income is mostly from blackmailing his classmates.

He increasingly felt the growth and improvement of his classmates.

Especially in the recent few blackmailings, Gu Yue Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and Fang Zheng, had improved greatly in their kicks and punches.

Previously he only needed 1 or 2 strikes to take him down, but now he needed 5 or 6.

“3 To 4 more looting, and their punches and kicks will be fully polished."

"If they challenge me one by one, with my current stamina, I can't survive such a round robin fight."

"500 primeval stone might seem like a lot, but with my current expenditure of 4 primeval stones a day, it's actually not that much.”

“Qing Mao Mountain already had no treasures left, but near Bai Gu Mountain, there was a legacy built secretly from the 4th rank Gu Master of the Righteous Way."

“Huh, it still boils down to the treasure of the Flower Wine Monk being too little, just giving me the Liquor Worm."

"Hmm... there's still that video, maybe I can sell it to a certain merchant in the caravan..”.

Fang Yuan thought as his eyelids grew heavier until he finally fell asleep.
