CHAPTER 7 - Master Gu Has 9 Rankings, The Treasure that Lives Flower Wine Monk

Soon a week passed.

"Man is the spirit of all living things, Gu is the essence of heaven and earth."

"In this world there are countless types of Gu."

"They live everywhere around us. On the ground, in the bushes, even in the bodies of beasts."

"As humans continue to evolve and grow, scholars in the past gradually unravel the mystery of Gu."

"Those who have opened the aperture, use their own primeval essence to refine, maintain, and use this Gu."

"People who have achieved these various goals are what we call the Gu Master."

"And all of you have successfully opened your aperture in Awakening Ceremony 7 days ago. With the green copper primeval essence, right now you all are a rank 1 Gu Master."

In the village academy, the academy elder spoke confidently and calmly. In front of him were 57 students, sitting and listening attentively.

The mysteries and strength of a Gu Master had been deeply entrenched in the hearts of the young men for a long time.

So everything that the elders taught and said, the students were very interested.

At this moment a young teenager raised his hand. With the elder's permission he stood up and asked, "Teacher chief, I've known this since I was a child."

"There's a Gu Master ranked 1st, ranked 2nd and so on, can you explain more details to us?"

The academy elder nodded and waved his hand to have the young man sit down.

"Gu Master has 9 ranks, from bottom to top, 1st rank, 2nd rank, 3rd rank to 9th rank."

"Each rank is considered a great realm, and is divided into 4 small realms, the early stage, the intermediate stage, the late stage, and the peak stage."

"You all have just become Gu Masters, so all of you are at the 1st stage early."

"If you all work hard in your cultivation, your cultivation will naturally break through to rank 2, or even rank 3."

"Of course, the higher your talent, the greater your chances of breaking through."

"For a grade D talent, a primeval sea occupies 20-30% of the aperture, the highest cultivation one can achieve is its best rank 1 to rank 2."

"For C-class talent, the primeval sea is 40-50% aperture. It usually stops at rank 2, but with luck a small percentage of people can move up to rank 3 early stage."

"Class B talent has a primeval sea that occupies 60-70% of the aperture, they are able to cultivate up to rank 3, even up to rank 4. "

"As for class A talent, primeval sea is abundant, occupying 80-90% aperture. This kind of talent within a person was naturally the most talented and most suitable for the cultivation of a Gu Master, capable of reaching rank 5."

"As for Gu Master who was ranked 6th and above, they were all legends. I'm not clear on the details either."

"In the Gu Yue clan, there has never been the appearance of a rank 6 Gu Master, but many rank 4 and rank 5 Gu Masters that we have before."

The ears of the teenagers were raised, their eyes were shining brightly as they listened.

Many of them could not help but look towards Gu Yue Fang Zheng who was sitting stiffly in the first row.

He is an A-class talent.

Their eyes were filled with feelings of envy and jealousy.

At the same time there were some who were staring at the corner in the last row of the class.

Leaning against the window in the corner was Gu Yue Fang Yuan, who was bowing down on the soundly sleeping table.

"Look, he's still sleeping." Someone whisper.

"He's been sleeping continuously for a week, yet he still hasn't woken up?" Someone interrupted.

"There's more. I heard he was up all night, wandering the countryside."

"There are people who've seen him more than once, apparently he's holding a wine jar at night, heavily drunk."

"It's a good thing these couple of years the village's environment has been cleared, so it's safer."

School friends whispered here and there, letting all kinds of little gossip spread quickly.

"Ah well, the blow is too big. A person who was praised as a genius for so many years unexpectedly ended up becoming a C grade talent in the end, hehe."

"If only that was the case. Of all the people, his own sister got A class, currently being the center of attention, enjoying the best treatment."

"Sister soared high into the sky, while brother fell to the ground, tut tut..."

As the discussion among the students grew louder, the eyebrows of the academy elders deepened into a frown.

Throughout the class all the teenagers sat respectfully, showing liveliness.

This made Fang Yuan who was sleeping on his desk stand out so much that it hurt his eyes.

'It's been a week, but he's still desperate. Hmph, at first I must have misunderstood him, how could a person like this be a genius!'  The academy elder thought dissatisfiedly.

He had spoken many times with Fang Yuan about the matter, but had no effect, Fang Yuan still did whatever he liked.

He would sleep in every classroom, making the elder in charge of teaching experience a very frustrating headache.

"Forget it, he's just C class. If he could not even withstand this kind of blow, nurturing him with such a temperament would only exhaust the clan's resources."

The elder's heart was filled with disappointment towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was only C-class, compared to Fang Zheng who was an A-grade talent, now this was someone valuable to the clan who spent a lot of effort to improve!

"In the history of the clan, there were many powerful Gu Masters. For a rank 5 Gu Master, there were 2. One of them is the leader of the first clan, our ancestor. He was the one who founded Gu Yue Village."

"One more is the leader of the fourth clan. He had extraordinary talent, and managed to cultivate all the way to the 5th rank Gu Master stage."

"If not for the sneak attack of the Flower Wine Monk, that shameless and despicable demon, he might be able to reach rank 6, but who knows..."

As he said this, he let out a long breath. Under the platform, the youths started shouting furiously.

"That's all because of that Flower Wine Monk, he's too evil and cunning!"

"It's a pity that our fourth clan leader was gentle and kind-hearted, and died at such a young age."

"If only I had been born a few hundred years before! If I see that demon, I'll tear his ugly face apart."

The story of the fourth clan leader and the Flower Wine Monk was something that the entire Gu Yue clan knew.

The Flower Wine Monk was also a rank 5 Gu Master, famous among the Demonic factions of his time for many years as the Flower Wine Monk.

Several hundred years ago he traveled to Qing Mao Mountain.

He attempted to commit a crime in Gu Yue Village, but was eventually discovered by the fourth clan leader.

After the world-shaking great battle, the Flower Wine Monk was beaten to the point that he had to beg for mercy by kneeling down.

The fourth clan leader was loving and kind, intending to spare his life.

However the Flower Wine Monk suddenly launched a sneak attack, successfully inflicting heavy injuries on the fourth clan leader.

The clan leader became enraged, killing the Flower Wine Monk on the spot.

However his heavy wounds were incurable and thus, he died.

Therefore in the hearts of the Gu Yue clan members, the leader of the fourth clan was a great hero who sacrificed his life for the village.

"Flower Wine Monk, yes..." Awakened by the noisy chatter in the classroom, Fang Yuan opened his sleepy eyes.

He stretched his body and thought with hatred in his heart, 'This Flower Wine Monk, where did he die?'

'Why am I still unable to find his legacy after searching the entire village?'

In his memory, there was a Gu Master from the clan who was heartbroken and started drinking a lot.

About 2 months later from now, the man was heavily drunk while lying outside the village.

Its thick wine aroma involuntarily attracted the Liquor Worm.

Gu Master was overjoyed, eager to catch him.

The Liquor Worm hurriedly escaped, and as Gu Master chased after him, he followed in the footsteps of the Liquor Worm and found the underground hole entrance and entered.

The Liquor Worm was an extremely valuable and expensive type of Gu.

The half-drunk Gu Master decided to take the risk and enter the pit, finding himself in a secret underground cave.

After that he found the Flower Wine Monk skeleton and the legacy he had left behind.

When Gu Master returned to the village, he reported his discovery and immediately caused a huge uproar among the entire clan.

The later Gu Master had benefited greatly from it, his cultivation base had suddenly become extraordinary.

Her lover who had left her before was attracted to her again, and she became the talk in the clan for a while.

'Unfortunately I only heard a little bit about this news, so I don't know where the accurate location is.'

'Not that I knew I would be born again to this day. Flower Wine Monk, where did you die?'

These few days he bought a lot of wine, wandering around the village as soon as night fell.

He wanted to use the scent of wine to attract the Liquor Worm.

Unfortunately he had never seen the Liquor Worm appear, making him feel extremely annoyed.

'If I can find that Liquor Worm and refine it into my vital Gu, it will be much better than the Moonlight Gu clan.'

'In the blink of an eye this is already April, there isn't much time left.' Fang Yuan sighed and looked out the window.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains stretched out in the distance. Around it was a bamboo grove.

This was the unique Spear Bamboo of Qing Mao Mountain, each bamboo rod was straight like a stick, the bamboo tip was extremely sharp like a spear tip.

Not too far away, the forest is already green. Soft shoots grow in a sea of yellow green.

Every now and then, beautiful and colorful sparrows would perch on the branches.

The spring breeze blew, enveloping the freshness of the mountains and rivers, and spreading them to the world.

Without realizing it, the class is almost over.

The academy elder finally told, "This week I've taught you all how to contemplate and examine the primeval sea in your own aperture, More, and how to meditate and switch around the primeval essence in your body."

"Now it's time for all of you to refine your vital Gu. After this class is over, all of you will go to the Gu room of the academy and choose Gu."

"After selecting your Gu, please go home and focus on refining it. When you finally refined your Gu, then you can return to the academy and continue attending classes."

"At the same time, this is your first test. Anyone who can complete this exam first will be given a big prize, which is 20 primeval stones."
