"What's the matter?" Fang Yuan looked at Chi Shan.
Even in winter, he was still bare-chested, his red skin emitting warmth, making people feel like they were leaning against a stove.
The white snow fell on his body and melted in an instant.
This was because there was a twin orifice stove Gu in his aperture.
Stove Gu was a Rank two Gu, containing fire energy and used for offense. Resisting the cold was only a side effect.
Chi Shan's gaze was somewhat complicated, he stared at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice, "Do you know that Xiong clan's Xiong Li wants to compete with you in strength these days?"
"I know." Fang Yuan nodded.
Chi Shan heaved a long sigh, "Xiong Li wants to compete with you in strength, it is not a simple competition, but it concerns the distribution of benefits in the three clan alliance. Under the wolf tide, the alliance will perish. But after the alliance, how to distribute the benefits is the most crucial issue. Thus, these days, the three clans have been in a deadlock over this matter. "
Fang Yuan glanced at Chi Shan and immediately understood why he took the initiative to look for him.
Negotiation was the most difficult thing. For the sake of benefits, the three clans would not take the initiative to give in, they would fight for every inch of land. The negotiation table was already filled with smoke, the flames of war raging like wildfire.
The values of this world, one was strength, and the other was familial love.
Qing Mao mountain's three clans were all clans, they had been in conflict for a long time, their hatred was deep, they naturally could not use familial love to smooth things over. Thus, to break the deadlock, they had to rely on strength.
On Earth, there were military exercises to display strength. This world had the same result, there were also Gu fights and sparring to show off one's strength and fight for greater benefits.
This was the reason why Xiong Li wanted to spar with Fang Yuan and compete in strength.
As expected, Chi Shan said, "I have fought with Xiong Li before, he has brown bear innate strength Gu. He has already nurtured the strength of one bear. He also has grand bear Gu. He can increase the strength of one bear again. Adding them together, it is the strength of two bears. I am far from his match, even if I don't want to admit it. But the title of Qing Mao mountain's number one herculean is well deserved. "
He paused and continued, "Let's discuss the matter as it stands. You and I don't have much of a difference in strength, so you won't be his opponent. But you cannot lose, because you are the hero who awakened the River Swallowing Toad and saved Qing Mao Mountain. If you lose, the interests of our Guyue Clan will suffer. So, for the sake of the family's interests, please abandon your personal reputation and choose to avoid the battle! "
Fang Yuan silently looked at Chi Shan.
Chi Shan lowered his gaze, "I know this matter is very difficult for you. After all, choosing to avoid a battle was destructive to one's reputation for bravery. But the family's interests were the most important. If you lose, I'm afraid the family will have to make even more concessions. The family nurtured us, so we naturally have to contribute to the family. Isn't that right? The family needs you. You sacrificing your own reputation for the sake of the family, this is also a matter of course! But this started because of me. In my own name, I'll compensate you with something. Consider it my sincerity. "
With that, Chi Shan handed a large bag of money to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan took it and weighed it, and could not help but laugh, "So my reputation, is only worth two hundred Yuan stone?"
Chi Shan could hear the mockery in his words. His eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, "Fang Yuan, don't be angry! Previously, I was trying to persuade you, but in reality, I came here with a mission. I want you to avoid the battle, this is a secret order from the higher ups of the family. Whether you want to listen or not, you have to listen. Please take care of yourself. "
Finishing, he turned and left, leaving deep footprints on the snowy ground.
Fang Yuan looked at Chi Shan's back, his eyes revealing a light of understanding.
"In order to fight for the greatest benefits, the family has probably already used the matter of me chasing the River Swallowing Toad as a bargaining chip on the table. After all, the presence of the River Swallowing Toad here is a threat to Qing Mao Mountain. As for the Xiong Village, to get rid of this bargaining chip, they secretly ordered Xiong Li to challenge me. "
"To the family, I am only a chess piece. Xiong Li is also a chess piece, and Chi Shan is even more so a chess piece. It is laughable that some people are willing to become chess pieces, and even feel proud of it, thinking that it is natural. This is because they have been successfully brainwashed by the family. "
"But I never wanted to fight with Xiong Li. The so-called reputation, is only the praise of others. It was unknown how many heroes had been imprisoned by this shackle since ancient times. But to me, what's the pity in letting it go? Hehe, I have to thank Chi Shan, for gifting me two hundred Yuan stone for free. "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan secretly laughed coldly.
Why did he attract Xiong Li's challenge, it was only because he wanted to save the village's reputation. Why did Chi Shan want to challenge Xiong Li, it was only because of the reputation of Qing Mao Mountain's strongest man.
The so-called reputation, was only a flatbread for vanity. How many people had been tempted, how many people had been fettered, how many people had been trapped.
What a pity, what a pity!
The snow was still falling slowly.
The entire Guyue Village, stood quietly in the snow. The people beside him, walked hurriedly on the road.
"What a joke, these people are all trapped by an illusory flatbread!" Fang Yuan's eyelids drooped, under his eyelashes, his dark and serene eyes were half hidden.
The light in the snow shone on his face, the young man's face was pale, revealing a sense of coldness.
Suddenly chuckling, Fang Yuan recited softly, "The white snow is pure white, I walk alone in the world. I walk alone with no worries, my lonely shadow comes and goes. "
He took a step forward, continuing to walk.
Along the way, the people were hurrying, but Fang Yuan walked alone.
Whether it was the clansmen, the white snow, the village, they were only a blurry background.
After a while, he returned to his rented house.
The bamboo building, wine shop and so on, were all sold by him. He still lived in the rented house, although the environment was very simple, Fang Yuan was not demanding, as long as he had a place to stay.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Fang Yuan began to cultivate.
In Gu Master cultivation, breaking through a large realm required aptitude and talent. But breaking through a small realm was purely a matter of painstaking effort. As long as there was enough time, the aperture walls would be constantly nurtured, and could continue to improve.
According to the agreement, at dusk, Jiang Ya arrived at Fang Yuan's residence.
"Lord Fang Yuan, these are the primeval stones for this trip, please check." He entered the room and respectfully handed over five money bags, which were naturally filled to the brim with primeval stones.
Yuan stone far exceeded four hundred pieces. The wolf tide was approaching, and the Gu Masters' demand for the vitality leaves had also increased. This caused the price of the vitality leaves that Fang Yuan was selling to increase.
Fang Yuan gave Jiang Ya nine vitality leaves. At the same time, he asked, "The things I wanted you to buy earlier. Have you done it? "
Jiang Ya, however, showed a shocked expression, shaking his head, "Lord Fang Yuan, the timing is not right. The wolf tide is approaching. The clan has already implemented a control over resources. The other things are fine, but that fish scales Gu, its value is only slightly lower than the Jade Skin Gu. I have already done my best. But I am afraid there will not be any results in a short time. "
Fang Yuan frowned.
The fish scales Gu was used to fuse with the stealth stone Gu, to refine the stealth scales Gu. Without the fish scales Gu, he could not fuse the stealth scales Gu.
"But even with the control over resources, it is not impossible to get the fish scales Gu. In the end, it is because Jiang Ya's ability is too small. It seems the matter of refining the stealth scales Gu will have to be delayed. "Fang Yuan sighed in his heart.
But he was not discouraged.
In this world, ten out of ten things do not go one's way.
This was the normal state of life, the so-called 'smooth sailing' was just a beautiful blessing.
"Bai clan produces fish scales Gu, and the clan also has fish scales Gu. It is just that the quantity is small. It seems this matter will have to wait until after the alliance. "
Fang Yuan was not impatient, he knew that once the three clans officially formed an alliance, They would set up a Battle Merit Ranking. They would encourage Gu Masters to hunt wolves. By then, they could use battle merits to exchange for resources from the three clans.
Of course. Guyue clan's Moonlight Gu, Xiong clan's Bear Strength Gu, Bai clan's Stream Gu, these were the symbols of the clans, and were not part of the exchange.
But the fish scales Gu was definitely there.
Opportunities often accompanied by danger.
To Gu Masters, the wolf tide was a severe test, but it was also a good opportunity to rise.
Under the attack of the wolf tide, countless famous Gu Masters died, and countless Gu Masters became famous. The old forces in the clan might weaken, and the new forces would walk on the political stage with their heads held high.
In the evening, another unexpected guest came to visit.
It was Guyue Qing Shu and Guyue Fangzheng.
Qing Shu went straight to the point, bringing up the old matter and wanting to buy Fang Yuan's Liquor worm.
But other than this, he also wanted to buy Fang Yuan's Black Boar Gu, and even the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.
The Nine Leaf Vitality Grass was definitely not for sale, and the Liquor worm had already been refined into the Four Flavors Liquor worm. Fang Yuan could not take it out even if he wanted to. Thus, he rejected it.
As for the Black Boar Gu …
"I have already gained the strength of a boar, and the value of the Black Boar Gu to me is very low. The best result of the Black Boar Gu is the Steel Mane Gu. Although this Gu can attack and defend, to me, with the White Jade Gu, it is not very useful. I might as well trade for a Fish Scales Gu. "
As Fang Yuan thought of this, he brought it up.
"Fish Scales Gu?" Qing Shu frowned slightly, but soon nodded, "I know, you are indeed lacking a defensive Gu worm. The Fish Scales Gu can be refined into the Rank two Scale Armor Gu, and it will have a good defensive effect. "
The recipe of using the Fish Scales Gu and Stealth Rock Gu to refine the Stealth Scales Gu was discovered by accident two hundred years after the end of his previous life. It was normal that Qing Shu did not know about it now.
Fang Yuan did not expose him, "The Black Boar Gu is much more expensive than the Fish Scales Gu, if you trade it, you have to compensate me for the difference."
"Of course." Qing Shu nodded and asked, "Forget about the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, but are you really not selling the Liquor worm? It's useless to you now. Raising it for nothing, and even wasting Yuan stone. "
Fang Yuan shook his head, "Don't mention the Liquor worm anymore, it is not for sale."
Qing Shu rubbed his nose, and could not help but laugh bitterly, "Fang Yuan, this matter is more complicated than you think. Do you know about Guyue Yao Le? She is the granddaughter of the medicine hall elder, Guyue Yao Ji, a new student this year with B grade aptitude. Guyue Yao Ji loves this granddaughter very much, and had once bid for a Liquor worm in the treehouse, but did not succeed. "
"You have used the Liquor worm before, and naturally you know its benefits the best, so I will not say more. It is just that for her granddaughter, Lord Yao Ji really wants to buy this Gu worm. An elder's love for her child is completely understandable. So she came to you. She sincerely wants to buy it, and the price she offered is very high. She even promised that if you get injured in the wolf tide, you will be taken care of by the medicine hall. Please think it over carefully. "
Today is one chapter, tomorrow is one chapter, and the day after tomorrow there will be two chapters, this is the side effect of deleting the chapters. This is the consequence of deleting the chapters, and I have already expected it. I am also silently bearing the consequences of letting everyone down. I will make up for the missing four chapters, just that it will take a little longer. The future is long, and I will make up for it eventually. Sigh, even though I lost my character this time, there are still so many people supporting me, I am very touched!)
