"He actually advanced to Rank three."
"Rank three aura is genuine, and he even has white silver primeval essence, there is no doubt about it."
…
The hall of the clan leader pavilion was solemn and respectful.
Clan leader Guyue Bo sat on the highest seat, while the elders sat on the left and right.
Whispers arose, and more than ten people's gazes were more or less focused on a youngster who was standing upright in the hall.
It was Fang Yuan.
"To think that this Fang Yuan advanced to Rank three."
"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have expected it either …"
"Isn't he only C grade aptitude, how could he advance so suddenly?"
"Actually, thinking about it, it is not too sudden. Did you all forget that he obtained two red steel Relic Gu? "
"That's right, two Relic Gu, his cultivation was completely pushed up. Thinking back to my cultivation, sigh … "
…
The group of clan elders were shocked and puzzled, they were caught unprepared by this fact.
"This Fang Yuan actually advanced to Rank three! He only has C grade aptitude, but in such a short time, he actually had such an achievement, it is really unexpected. "Guyue Mo Chen, who was sitting on the first seat on the left, sighed inwardly.
He thought of two to three years ago, when Fang Yuan was still in the academy, he killed a servant of his clan.
This servant's name, Guyue Mo Chen could no longer remember. But afterwards, Fang Yuan dismembered the corpse and gave him a gift, leaving a deep impression on him.
From that day onwards, he looked at Fang Yuan in a different light.
But due to his aptitude, he did not have much hope for him.
Who would have thought. He actually had such an achievement today!
According to the clan's system, as long as a Gu Master reaches Rank three, they would become a new clan elder.
A new clan elder would definitely have an impact on the old political structure. It would create an impact.
"If I had recruited him in advance, this impact would have been used by me, giving me a political advantage. Sigh, what a pity … "Guyue and Mochen could not help but glance at the opposite side.
His old rival, Guyue Lian, was sitting on the first seat on the right. At this moment, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were shining with a dark light.
"This is Fang Yuan. There must be a secret. Although I have the help of two red steel Relic Gu, advancing to Rank three so quickly is something that even Qing Shu doesn't have. "Guyue Bo was also inwardly pondering.
He could not help but think of his adopted son, Qing Shu, and could not help but sigh in his heart.
If Guyue and Qingshu were still alive. He probably had to have rank three cultivation. Unfortunately, reality was cruel.
"Medicine Hall Elder Guyue Yao Ji has arrived!" At this moment, the doorman suddenly announced loudly.
An old woman walked in from the door. Her face was pale and wrinkled. Under his eyelids, his gaze was extremely sharp, and it almost instantly locked onto Fang Yuan.
Guyue Yao Ji quickly walked closer, saying, "Fang Yuan, you actually advanced to Rank three? I don't believe it! Come, let this old woman inspect you personally. I want to inspect your aperture! "
The aperture was a Gu Master's most important secret and privacy, how could it be so easily inspected by others?
Fang Yuan slightly turned his body. Seeing Yao Ji walking over, he could not help but sneer, "Guyue Yao Ji. You want to inspect my aperture, what right do you have? "
In the past, when he had just started cultivating, he received the academy elder's regular inspection. But it was different now, he was already a Rank three Gu Master, on equal footing with the academy elder and medicine hall elder.
Moreover, it was very simple to inspect his cultivation.
White silver primeval essence could not be faked, and at the same time, the aura of Rank three was real.
"How dare you! A junior like you dares to call me by my name? "Yao Ji immediately stared with wide eyes," Why can't I inspect you? Based on my identity, I am the medicine hall elder, and also your senior! "
"Hmph, old woman, calling you by your name is giving you face. We still need to settle the score between us. Earlier, you wanted to buy my Liquor worm, but I did not sell it, so you held a grudge. You actually wanted to rob my Nine Leaf Vitality Grass? Hmph, I wanted to exchange for that Three Step Fragrant Grass Gu, but you stopped me from doing so. I am also a Rank three now, you better stop putting on airs in front of me! "
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes, his words sharp as knives. He was very straightforward, shedding all pretense of cordiality.
If he were a Rank one or Rank two Gu Master, he would definitely be suppressed and attacked by everyone. But now that he was a Rank three Gu Master, his status was equal to the elders, and the situation was different.
Seeing Fang Yuan and Guyue Yao Ji scolding each other, the other elders silently chose to watch from the sidelines.
Being in a high position, one's thoughts were deep. Even if they were not shrewd, they would train themselves to be shrewd.
They did not know much about Fang Yuan, so they could use this chance to observe him secretly.
"Lad, you dare to slander me!" Guyue Yao Ji flew into a rage out of humiliation. Although Fang Yuan's words were true, how could she admit it in front of everyone?
All the elders present were silent, silently watching the development of the situation. Many of the elders present knew about the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, and had even exchanged benefits with Guyue Yao Ji.
But in politics, there were only eternal benefits, there were no eternal enemies or eternal friends.
Seeing Guyue Yao Ji bite back at him, Fang Yuan laughed coldly, not rebuking her.
In the hall, the lingering voice of Guyue Yao Ji echoed.
The old woman's entire body was trembling slightly. This silence made her feel that she was alone and powerless!
Different.
The situation was different.
If Fang Yuan was only a Rank one or Rank two Gu Master, these elders would immediately jump out and stand together with Guyue Yao Ji to punish Fang Yuan. The authority of the higher ups must not be challenged by the lower ups!
But now, Fang Yuan was already a Rank three Gu Master, although the clan leader had not officially announced it, but his status as an elder was already set in stone. In this way, the conflict between him and Guyue Yao Ji was an internal conflict between the higher ups.
Fang Yuan was a newly promoted elder, he did not have a deep background, but this was also his advantage, the barefooted did not fear those who wore shoes.
On the other hand, Guyue Yao Ji was already very old, although she was in charge of the medicine hall, had a high position, and had a wide network, this was her weakness.
She was old, and could not afford to lose. The heir of the medicine faction, Yao Le, had also disappeared. The huge benefits in her hands were coveted by others.
It was fine during times of peace, but now it was the wolf tide, even the elders could die.
The situation was unstable. The newcomers took their positions, and the elders stepped down.
This was a time of change, and none of the elders could guarantee that they would be safe and sound. Even the Clan Leader could die in such a situation.
In the history of Guyue Gu Master, the number of clan leaders who died because of the wolf tide was not small.
To the elders, it was difficult for them to even protect themselves, without any huge benefits. They had no time to participate in other people's battles.
Guyue Yao Ji felt troubled.
The hall was silent.
Because of her granddaughter's matter, she had not slept for three days and three nights. Right now, as she stood, a formless pressure enveloped her body and mind. Her forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
She felt like a crippled old wolf, standing alone in a pack of wolves.
The surrounding wolves stood in the shadows and stared at her indifferently with their deep, dark green eyes.
Fang Yuan, who was standing in front of her, was like a male wolf that had just revealed his prowess in the hunt. He was so young. He was so ambitious, so vigorous and strong.
Truly — — the new generation replaces the old!
At this moment, Guyue Yao Ji felt that she was really old.
Old and frail!
Her eyelids drooped even more violently. Her aura was also gradually decreasing.
But when Guyue Yao Le's figure appeared in her mind, she forcefully opened her blurry old eyes. Her aura suddenly rose again.
She opened her mouth and said, "Fang Yuan, you came these three days. Why did you disappear? If you did not appear, the medicine hall's casualty report would have listed your name among the Gu Masters who died. You disappeared for three days and three nights, and when you came back, you became a Rank three Gu Master. What exactly happened during this process? Hehe, I believe everyone is interested to know about this. "
Realizing that Fang Yuan was not as easy to deal with as before, her tone had already softened, no longer as overbearing as before. But the tone of his speech was even harder to resist. His words hid treacherous and sinister thoughts.
She was after all the most senior, a politician with high status!
When the elders heard this, their eyes brightened, showing obvious interest. None of the people here were fools, Fang Yuan's sudden advancement to rank three was indeed suspicious.
After all, his C grade aptitude was known by everyone.
Guyue Yao Ji's words made the elders stand on her side again.
However, since Fang Yuan dared to return so openly, he naturally had made preparations.
Under everyone's gaze, he raised his head and laughed, "Old woman, do I have to tell you just because you want to know? But … seeing how pitiful your granddaughter is, I will be merciful and tell you. These days, I have been in closed door cultivation in elder Chi Lian's residence, trying to advance to Rank three. Elder Guyue Lian can testify for me on this point! "
"What?" Guyue Yao Ji heard this and immediately showed a shocked expression.
The rest of the elders were also visibly moved, showing all kinds of rich and complicated expressions.
At once, countless gazes looked towards the gloomy Guyue Lian.
This master of the Chi faction, one of the two most powerful elders in the Guyue clan, had an even more gloomy expression.
But under everyone's gaze, he knew he had to give everyone an explanation, so he reluctantly opened his mouth and said, "This matter is indeed like this. These days, Fang Yuan has been in closed door cultivation in a secret room in my residence, I can testify for this. "
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
The elders had deep self-restraint, they would not make a fuss and lose their manners. However, there were still many murmurs of discussion.
"I didn't expect Guyue's cultivation to be related to Fang Yuan!"
"Does Fang Yuan's advancement have anything to do with Chi Lian?"
"I'm afraid it is greatly related! Didn't people speculate that Fang Yuan had a force supporting him from behind the scenes? I didn't expect it to be the Chi faction. "
"Fang Yuan's cultivation speed is so fast, I'm afraid it is the Chi faction's investment. Fang Yuan is Fangzheng's older brother, Elder Chi Lian's action has a profound meaning. "
Some of the elders were discussing, while others were feeling emotional.
"So this Fang Yuan is not a junior without any background, he has already submitted to the Chi faction, we must be careful when dealing with him in the future."
"Luckily I didn't jump into the fight between Fang Yuan and Yao Ji."
"Yao Ji is in trouble, she wanted to deal with an elder with no background, but she didn't expect him to have such a solid background. It's the Chi faction! "
Guyue Yao Ji's face was pale. When she heard Guyue Lian nod his head in acknowledgment, she was so shocked that she took a step back, her body slightly trembling.
Dealing with a lone elder and dealing with an elder with the Chi faction's background were two completely different concepts! (To be continued …)
