"The competition is really intense, I wonder who will be the final winner."
"I've been standing here for fifteen minutes and more than ten Gu Masters have already placed their pieces of paper into the counter."
"Sigh, this is a game for the rich, we don't even have the qualifications to compete."
On the second floor of the treehouse, the Gu Masters gathered around the central counter, discussing and sighing.
As evening approached, the competition for the red steel Relic Gu reached its peak. Many Rank two Gu Masters who had been observing in the dark started to bid during this last period of time.
Some Gu Masters even bid several times in a row.
"The final winner of this competition should be either Mo Yan or Chi Shan." Someone guessed.
"Very likely. Mo Yan and Chi Shan are both Rank two upper stage. After using this Relic Gu, they can advance to peak stage and be on par with Qing Shu. "
"In recent years, Guyue and Qing Shu have been pressuring them. I don't believe they have no thoughts."
"This matter is hard to say. Not only us Rank two Gu Masters. Some Rank three clan elders also bid. In the morning, someone saw Lady Yao Ji place her piece of paper. "
"That's right, I heard about it too. Lady Yao Ji's granddaughter Guyue Yao Le is participating in the Awakening Ceremony this year. It seems Lady Yao Ji is preparing for a rainy day and wants to pave the way for her granddaughter. "
"Sigh, how good would it be if I had such a doting elder!"
… …
Fang Yuan stood in the crowd, listening to everyone's conversation with a calm gaze.
No one mentioned his name. In everyone's eyes. Fang Yuan was just a lucky person who had just inherited a fortune. In everyone's impression, he was not on the same level as Chi Shan, Mo Yan and Qing Shu.
"Very good, the less attention paid to me, the easier it will be for me to get this red steel Relic Gu. But my continuous purchases of Gu worms should have attracted his attention. "
Fang Yuan was confident that he could get this Relic Gu, reaching 99%. He started to think about another problem.
If the following events really developed according to his expectations, then his hard work these few days would have a perfect result.
Time was up.
The leaves on the counter suddenly grew. The relic Gu was tightly wrapped. The green leaves obstructed everyone's vision, and when these branches and leaves unfurled, the red steel Relic Gu was no longer there, replaced by a revert Gu.
Revert Gu's appearance was like a flat oval rock, palm sized. There was a slight bulge on the surface of the stone. It was smooth and round, forming the pattern of an eye. The bottom of the stone was flat and rough to the touch.
The stone was black. The eye pattern was made of white lines.
Approximately every two seconds. The eyes on the surface of the stone would blink once, and the eyeballs depicted by the white lines would also move once. It gave people the feeling that this rock was rolling its eyes.
Revert Gu's effect was very special.
It targets Gu worms and can decompose Rank two Gu worms into Rank one Gu worms.
For example, Fang Yuan's White Jade Gu, if it was broken down by Revert Gu, it would turn back into White Boar Gu and Jade Skin Gu.
This process. It was called Reverse Refinement.
Fang Yuan glanced at it and lost interest. He did not need revert Gu.
The surrounding Gu Masters also started to clamor. Revert Gu could not replace the red steel Relic Gu and become everyone's focus.
Everyone was curious about the final owner of the red steel Relic Gu.
Some people went to the caravan Gu Masters on this floor. Some even went to the main counter to wait.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but Fang Yuan stood on the spot, not moving.
"Young master Fang Yuan, please come to the third floor, our caravan's Lord Jia Fu would like to have a chat with you." A voice suddenly entered Fang Yuan's ears.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, there were many kinds of Gu worms in this world that could secretly transmit voices.
Following the voice's instructions, he came to the third floor of the treehouse and walked to a wall.
The wooden wall was covered in green leaves, stacked together, looking lush and green.
Swish swish swish …
The leaves automatically parted, revealing a secret door hidden inside.
Fang Yuan pushed open the secret door and saw a small spiral staircase.
He walked up the stairs and came to a small study room.
In the study room, Jia Fu was busy dealing with some accounts, his hands moving quickly.
Hearing Fang Yuan's footsteps, he raised his head, revealing a new scar on his face. He gave a friendly smile, "Little brother Fang Yuan, we meet again."
"Greetings Lord Jia Fu." Fang Yuan cupped his fists and bowed.
"Come, please sit here." Jia Fu pointed to a seat closest to the table.
After Fang Yuan sat down, he pushed with his left hand and a stack of bamboo papers on the table towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan took a look and immediately recognized the bamboo papers. They were the prices he had made in the past few days to buy Gu worms. Below every price, there was his signature.
He smiled complacently in his heart. Things were really as he had expected. But on the surface, he showed a doubtful expression and asked, "What advice does Lord Jia Fu have?"
Jia Fu's smile faded a little, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Fang Yuan, "I looked at your bids these few days, including the price you used to buy the red steel Relic Gu. To be honest, little brother, your talent in doing business surprised me. Do you know, every price you made was very close to the final transaction price. "
"These few days, although you only successfully bought a Black Boar Gu, a Liquor worm, and that red steel Relic Gu, your bids for the other Gu worms were only a dozen or so Yuan stone away from being successful. Little brother, are you interested in working for me? "Jia Fu tried to recruit Fang Yuan.
"That's it!" Fang Yuan laughed in his heart. These few days, he had made many bids, purposely failing most of the time. Only the Black Boar Gu, the Liquor worm, and the red steel Relic Gu succeeded when he was only a dozen or so Yuan stone away from the final transaction price.
Just as he had hoped, Jia Fu was very interested in the business talent he had displayed. He took the initiative to recruit him.
But in fact, as long as Fang Yuan was willing, he could almost guarantee that he could successfully purchase all the Gu worms.
"This …" Fang Yuan hesitated, then shook his head, "I am indebted to Lord Jia Fu's kindness, but I do not want to leave the clan."
"Oh, is that so." Jia Fu's gaze flashed, "Little brother, you might have some misunderstandings about me. A year ago. I did suspect you, but after using that Bamboo Gentleman, you've been cleared of suspicion, Little Brother. Jia Jin Sheng was my brother, I hope you can understand my feelings after his death. Let me tell you another piece of good news, I have already invited divine investigator Tie Xue Leng. In his eyes, there is no mystery that cannot be solved. I believe he will definitely find out the truth, and at that time, he will be able to return justice to you. "
"Divine investigator Tie Xue Leng … this is troublesome." Fang Yuan muttered this name in his heart. To him, this was not good news.
This world's detection methods. There were many mystical places. Similarly, there were many mystical methods. To counter detection.
When Fang Yuan killed Jia Jin Sheng, he was only a Rank one cultivator. Even though he knew many methods, he could not use them.
And in his memory, Tie Xue Leng had a high cultivation, and was a person who could not tolerate even a speck of sand in his eyes. He spent his entire life punishing the evil and promoting the good. He was filled with a sense of justice, and his thoughts were meticulous. He was most proficient in finding the most minute clues from the smallest of clues.
"I have long heard of Divine investigator's great name. I wonder if this Lord Divine investigator will be able to reach Qing Mao mountain? " When can we reach Qing Mao mountain? "Fang Yuan put on an expectant expression. He asked directly.
"This …" Jia Fu laughed awkwardly, "Divine investigator is very busy. According to his reply, I'm afraid it will be the year after next."
Fang Yuan's heart immediately felt at ease, he still had a lot of time to prepare.
"Little brother, I have high hopes for you. I hope you can consider my suggestion. "Jia Fu continued to offer a bunch of tempting benefits.
Fang Yuan tactfully rejected, now was not the best time to leave Qing Mao mountain.
If he went to an unfamiliar environment without strength, he would definitely be bullied and ostracized. The caravan was also full of bullying and unwritten rules.
"That is a pity for your talent. How about this, you can take this token. If you want to rely on me one day in the future, this token is proof. I welcome you anytime. "Jia Fu's failure was not surprising, he deeply understood the cohesiveness of a clan.
If he knew now that Fang Yuan was Jia Jin Sheng's murderer, who knows what expression he would have.
Fang Yuan felt ashamed and took the token from Jia Fu, as well as the red steel Relic Gu.
He hid these two items on his body, and returned along the original path.
A young female Gu Master was caressing the green leaves on the wall, when she suddenly screamed. The branches and leaves suddenly parted, revealing a door inside.
The door was pushed open from the inside, and Fang Yuan walked out expressionlessly.
"You, you, you!" The young girl stared with wide eyes, staring blankly at Fang Yuan brushing past her.
Some of the surrounding Gu Masters saw this scene, some were not surprised, some smiled knowingly, and some looked at him in astonishment.
Fang Yuan did not care about the gazes on him. He went down to the second floor, and some Gu Masters were still here, excitedly discussing the ownership of the red steel Relic Gu.
Some people were guessing boldly, while others provided all kinds of information, such as "Mo Yan showed a mysterious smile when she walked out of the treehouse", "Chi Shan's face was ashen" and so on.
There were even some people who directly said that so-and-so bought this Relic Gu. When they said it, they made a solemn vow, and even swore.
Fang Yuan walked through this boring crowd, no one knew that at this moment, the red steel Relic Gu was so close to them.
When he walked out of the treehouse, Fang Yuan bumped into Chi Shan.
His expression was indeed ugly, while Chicheng was looking around for the location of the red steel Relic Gu.
After seeing Fang Yuan, Chicheng snorted and turned his head, purposely not looking at him. And Chi Shan silently nodded towards Fang Yuan, as a greeting.
Fang Yuan also nodded in response, with a smile on his face.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the young man's face, and he was indeed somewhat happy.
With the red steel Relic Gu, his cultivation could instantly rise by a level.
And that token.
A year ago, Fang Yuan befriended Jia Jin Sheng, wanting to use his identity to participate in the future Gu battles. In this gathering of experts, he would reap benefits.
Unfortunately, the world was unpredictable, and the final result made Fang Yuan not know whether to laugh or cry. He actually killed Jia Jin Sheng with his own hands.
But even without Jia Jin Sheng, using Jia Fu was the same. This token was equivalent to an admission ticket to the future Gu Fighting Convention. ^-^^-^
