"Congrats, congrats."
"Elder Fang Yuan is young and promising, a role model for the younger generation!"
"I look forward to seeing Elder Fang Yuan's elegant demeanor when we work together in the future, haha."
…
A group of clan elders surrounded Fang Yuan, saying all sorts of beautiful words.
The academy elder stood at the periphery of the crowd, looking at Fang Yuan with a complicated expression.
He never thought that there would be a day when Fang Yuan would be promoted to an elder. In that year, he was most optimistic about Fangzheng, followed by Chicheng and Mobei.
Who would have thought that the first one to be successful would be Fang Yuan.
"How can my little achievement compare to the achievements of all the seniors? I owe it all to the family's nurturing to be where I am today. Academy elder, I have always remembered your teachings. "A warm smile appeared on Fang Yuan's face, he was humble and cautious.
The academy elder never thought that the prickly Fang Yuan would take the initiative to greet him.
He was stunned for a moment, then showed a gratified expression, "Looks like you have matured a lot these years. Elder Fang Yuan, work hard. The family needs new blood like you, I am proud of you! "
Fang Yuan once again thanked the academy elder sincerely, and at the same time, he responded to the other elders.
He had 500 years of experience, this kind of acting was a piece of cake.
He advanced and retreated, his words were gentle, his attitude was humble, making people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Guyue watched coldly from the side, the more he watched, the colder his heart became. This Fang Yuan's way of dealing with the situation, his every word was so reserved, was he really just a teenager? Could it be that he was born to be a politician?
The academy elder was shocked. He thought back to when they were in school, Fang Yuan was so unruly, even exploiting his classmates. He felt a headache because of this, he did not expect Fang Yuan to have such an earth-shattering transformation.
On the other hand, Guyue and Mo Chen were not surprised by Fang Yuan's behavior.
He had already experienced Fang Yuan's schemes.
At this moment, looking at Fang Yuan's cultured and refined manner, becoming the center of attention and the center of the crowd, he sighed in his heart that Guyue had practiced a good move.
This exchange was casual and did not last long. But no matter what the clan elders were thinking, no matter where they stood, they couldn't help but look at Fang Yuan in a new light. They all sighed in their hearts. Rumors were indeed unreliable!
In the end, Fang Yuan politely declined the invitations of some elders and left the Patriarch Pavilion with a smile on his face together with Guyue.
"Hmph, are you satisfied now? Not only did you topple Guyue and Yao Ji, you even dragged our Chi family into this! "Chi Lian finally stopped pretending in the study, and the smile on his face was replaced by anger.
Fang Yuan sat opposite him and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you have to thank me for this matter. With Guyue and Yao Ji's downfall, it is your Chi branch that has gained a great advantage. "
Guyue's eyes flickered, "Hmph, young man, your thinking is too simple. Chi Zhong may be a member of my Chi branch, but his wife is from the Yao branch. The clan leader appointed him as a temporary medicine hall elder only to balance the internal strife between my Chi and Yao branches. How on earth did you know about Chicheng? "
At the end of his speech, Guyue suddenly asked.
His eyes were fixed on Fang Yuan, flashing with the sharpness of an eagle.
Fang Yuan shrugged indifferently and said, "Old man, I don't have enough Yuan stones on me. Give me three thousand first."
Bang.
Guyue fiercely slammed the table and growled in a low voice, "Fang Yuan! Don't think that just because you know this secret that you can control my Chi branch. I'm old and don't have many years left to live. At worst, I'll give up my life! Hmph, I can accept cooperation, but I won't be threatened!
"I won't allow what happened today to happen a second time! If you carelessly make enemies and then casually drag my Chi branch into this mess, you will definitely regret it! Do you really think that secret can destroy the entire Chi branch? Hehe, don't be naive. "
Fang Yuan was silent, his eyes distant as he let Guyue berate him.
After Guyue slammed the table, his aura was as shocking as a tiger, but the more he spoke, the weaker it became. In the end, it was obvious that he was out of breath and lacking confidence.
Until he stopped talking, Fang Yuan leisurely smiled, "Old man, don't be so angry. I'm indeed short on money recently. I'm not asking for these three thousand Yuan stones from you for free, I'm borrowing them from you. I can write an IOU for you. "
Guyue coldly snorted, his tone slightly relaxed, "You won't be lacking in Yuan stones. You've just become an elder, so you don't know the preferential treatment the clan gives to elders. As long as you're an elder, you'll get a hundred Yuan stone every week. And this is the amount during peacetime. Now that the wolf tide is here, you'll get three hundred Yuan stone every week. "
"Not only that, you can also get a Rank three Gu worm for free. At the same time, the clan's recipes, from Rank one to Rank three, will be open to you. You can choose as many recipes as you like to refine your rank three Gu worm. There are also other privileges, for example: Ordinary Gu Masters can only marry one wife. After becoming an elder, they can marry one wife and two concubines. "
"So it's like that." Fang Yuan was naturally aware of this, but on the surface, he showed an expression as if he was hearing it for the first time.
"But even so, I still want to borrow three thousand Yuan stone. You know, I just advanced to Rank three. Refining a Rank three Gu worm naturally requires a large amount of Yuan stone. "Fang Yuan 'sincerely' said.
Guyue was silent.
He pondered, "With Fang Yuan's status as an elder, he won't go so far as to not pay back his debt. Then what about his reputation? But what if he dies in the wolf tide, then wouldn't my three thousand Yuan stone be for naught? Wait, isn't it better if he dies? Chicheng's aptitude can continue to be concealed. But this secret, how did he know? Who else knew about it? I might as well lend it to him first, and lower his guard, before probing him. "
Thinking so, Guyue did not persist, and took out a pen and paper.
Fang Yuan wrote an IOU, and made a fingerprint.
Guyue called the housekeeper, and instructed. Soon, a few full money bags were brought over.
Fang Yuan weighed each money bag in his hand, but did not find any problems.
He really needed this Yuan stone.
To refine the Man-beast Life Burial Gu, he had almost used up all his savings. These three thousand Yuan stone could be considered a timely rain.
Advancing to Rank three was just the beginning. He needed to refine a Rank three Gu worm, to truly possess the fighting strength and survivability of a Rank three Gu Master.
Regarding this, he already had a rough plan in his heart. Three thousand Yuan stone might not be enough.
But it was not important, the Chi faction would be his large bank.
Borrowing Yuan stone this time was just the beginning. If there was a first time, there would be a second time, first time unfamiliar, second time familiar.
As for paying back the debt, hehe …
After getting the Yuan stone, Fang Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, but smiled, "I still want to borrow something."
"Don't push your luck." Guyue's expression sank, but he still said, "Speak, what is it?"
"Cleansing water Gu." Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, and said frankly.
The caravan had once sold a Cleansing water Gu, if anyone was most likely to buy this Gu, it was most likely Guyue Gu.
Because he used his own primeval essence to nurture his grandson Chicheng's aperture, raising his cultivation. This caused the aperture to contain a strange aura that could only be removed by Cleansing water Gu.
"Absolutely not!" Guyue Gu resolutely refused.
He had indeed bought that Cleansing water Gu, but this Gu worm was prepared for his grandson Guyue Cheng. If he wanted to buy it again, he would have to rely on luck.
"Don't be so ruthless." Fang Yuan chuckled, "A Cleansing water Gu or the Chi faction's reputation, which is more important, I believe Lord Guyue Lian, as the Chi faction's leader, can clearly distinguish between them."
Guyue Lian's expression completely sank, turning cold. He fiercely stared at Fang Yuan, gritting his teeth: "Fang Yuan, you need to know what you are doing. You are extorting me, extorting the grand Chi faction's leader! "
"No no no, I am not extorting, this is a discussion. I am only borrowing the Cleansing water Gu, I will return you a new one in the future. I can also write an IOU for this. "Fang Yuan smiled, but his tone was firm, showing his determination to obtain it.
"Don't even think about it!" Chi Lian's attitude was also firm.
…
An hour later, Fang Yuan left Chi clan with three thousand Yuan stones and a Cleansing water Gu.
Meanwhile, Guyue Lian was sitting in the study, looking at the two light IOU slips written by Fang Yuan on the table. The anger in his heart was like a surging river, surging endlessly.
Chi faction's weakness was in Fang Yuan's hands, causing Chi Lian to be in an extremely passive position. Fang Yuan's victory was also within reason.
Three days later.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, his face reflecting a white light.
A white ball of light floated in the air — the Gu fusion had reached its final stage.
Fang Yuan used his consciousness to maintain the ball of light while throwing Yuan stone after Yuan stone into the ball of light.
The ball of light suddenly disappeared, and a brand new Gu flew into Fang Yuan's palm.
Its appearance was like a large ladybug. Its semi-circular milky white carapace was dotted with black spots.
Its size was relatively large, about the size of an adult's fist.
Rank three Sky Canopy Gu!
"Finally, the fusion is complete." Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. This was his second fusion.
Sky Canopy Gu was fused from the Rank two White Jade Gu and a water attribute defensive Gu.
Fang Yuan's first fusion used the Water Shield Gu and the White Jade Gu. The fusion failed, and the Water Shield Gu died.
The water element defensive Gu worm he used this time was exchanged with Fang Yuan's last bit of battle merit points.
However, this Sky Canopy Gu was not Fang Yuan's first Rank three Gu. His first rank three Gu worm was directly taken from the clan.
After advancing to Rank three and becoming a clan elder, the clan would reward a Rank three Gu for free.
Thus, Fang Yuan chose the Thunderwings Gu.
This Gu was the spoils of war that the clan elders obtained after killing a frenzy lightning wolf. It could condense a pair of lightning wings, allowing the Gu Master to fly for a short period of time.
With the Thunderwings Gu's assistance in movement, Fang Yuan's last weakness in battle strength was filled.
