"He actually advanced to Rank three."
"The aura of Rank three is genuine, and he even has white silver primeval essence, there is no mistake."
…
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 young man 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 it be so sudden?"
"Actually, thinking about it, it is not sudden. Did you guys 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 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 in his heart.
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 had already forgotten. 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.
To think that he actually had such achievements today!
According to the clan's system, as long as a Gu Master reached Rank three, they would become a new clan elder.
A new clan elder would definitely have a huge impact on the old political structure.
"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.
"There must be secrets on this Fang Yuan. 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 Qing Shu was still alive, he would also 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 full of wrinkles. Under her drooping eyelids, her gaze was extremely sharp. She stared at Fang Yuan almost instantly.
Guyue Yao Ji approached him quickly and said: "Fang Yuan, you can actually advance to Rank Three? I don't believe it! Come, let this old woman inspect you personally, I want to check 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, and seeing Yao Ji walking over, he could not help but sneer: "Guyue Yao Ji, on what basis do you want to inspect my aperture?"
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.
"Audacious! A junior like you dares to call me by my name? "Yao Ji immediately stared with wide eyes:" Why can't I inspect you? Just 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. Previously, you wanted to buy my Liquor worm, but I didn't 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 like knives. He was very straightforward, shedding all pretense of cordiality.
If it was a Rank one or Rank two, he would definitely be suppressed and attacked by everyone if he said such words. But now, with his Rank three cultivation, his status was already equal to the elders, and the situation had changed.
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 mind was deep. Even if one was not shrewd, they would still train 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 public?
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, Guyue Yao Ji's lingering voice resounded.
This old woman's body was slightly trembling, this silence made her feel that she was alone!
Different.
The situation was different.
If Fang Yuan was only Rank one or Rank two, these elders would immediately jump out and stand together with Guyue Yao Ji to punish Fang Yuan. The authority of the higher ups could not be challenged by the lower ups!
But now, Fang Yuan was already Rank three, and although the clan leader had not officially announced it, 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, he had nothing to lose.
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, and 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 turbulent, new people took their positions, and old people 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 clan, there were many clan leaders who died because of the wolf tide.
To the elders, it was difficult to even protect themselves, without huge benefits, they had no time to get involved 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. Standing now, an invisible pressure enveloped her body and mind, causing a layer of cold sweat to form on her forehead.
She felt like a crippled old wolf, standing alone in a pack of wolves.
The surrounding wolf pack stood in the shadows, using their deep green eyes to stare at her indifferently.
The Fang Yuan standing in front of her, was like a male wolf that had just revealed his prowess in the hunt. He was so young, so ambitious, so vigorous and strong.
It was really — — 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, and her imposing manner gradually decreased.
But when Guyue Yao Le's figure appeared in her mind, she forced her blurred eyes open, and her imposing manner rose again.
She opened her mouth, "Fang Yuan, why did you disappear these three days? If you did not appear, the medicine hall's casualty report would have listed your name in the list of 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 her words were even harder to resist, with treacherous and sinister thoughts hidden in her words.
She was after all the most senior and most senior politician!
When the elders heard this, their eyes brightened, showing obvious interest. No one here was an idiot, Fang Yuan advancing to Rank three was indeed fishy.
After all, his C grade aptitude was known to everyone.
Guyue Yao Ji's words made the elders stand on her side again.
However, since Fang Yuan dared to return so grandly, he was naturally prepared.
Under everyone's gazes, 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 break through 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 Chi faction clan head, one of the two most powerful elders in Guyue clan, had an even more gloomy expression, almost to the point of dripping water.
But under everyone's gazes, he knew he had to give everyone an explanation, thus he reluctantly opened his mouth, "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 can't believe that Guyue's cultivation has something to do with Fang Yuan!"
"Does Fang Yuan's advancement have anything to do with Chi Lian?"
"I'm afraid there is a huge connection! Didn't people speculate that Fang Yuan has a force supporting him from behind the scenes? I can't believe it is Chi faction. "
"The reason why Fang Yuan's cultivation can be so fast is probably because of Chi faction's investment. Fang Yuan is Fangzheng's brother, elder Chi Lian's action has a profound meaning. "
Some of the elders were discussing, while some of the other elders' emotions were in turmoil.
"This Fang Yuan is not a junior without any background, he has already joined Chi faction, we must be careful with him in the future."
"Luckily I didn't jump into the fight between Fang Yuan and Yao Ji."
"Yao Ji is in trouble now, she wanted to deal with an elder with no background, but she didn't expect him to have such a solid background. It's Chi faction! "
Guyue Yao Ji's face was deathly 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 Chi faction background were two completely different concepts! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
