Guyue Yao Ji once fancied the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass in Fang Yuan's hands, so she used her authority to set up a policy to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.
But when Fang Yuan advanced to Rank three and became a clan elder, he made a powerful counterattack, causing Guyue Yao Ji to faint on the spot, forcing Guyue Zhong to take the stage.
Guyue Zhong took the initiative to find Fang Yuan this time to persuade Fang Yuan to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.
"It is not impossible to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass." Fang Yuan pondered for a while and said.
There is a saying that goes, "Times have changed."
Today is different from the past …
In the past, Guyue Yao Ji wanted Fang Yuan to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, it was a command from the top, you have to hand it over even if you don't want to.
But now, Fang Yuan was already a clan elder, his status was only lower than the clan leader Guyue Bo, and he was on equal footing with Guyue Yao Ji and the others. Therefore, Guyue Zhong persuaded Fang Yuan to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, it was not a command from the top, but an equal transaction, an exchange of benefits.
The Nine Leaf Vitality Grass was indeed very precious, the Vitality Leaves were a small source of income in short supply. Fang Yuan had so many Gu worms on hand now, and a large portion of their feeding expenses were supported by it.
However, there was nothing in this world that was not for sale, it was just that the benefits were too small to be moved.
Although the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass was precious, as long as the price was right, why couldn't it be sold?
The so-called Gu was just a tool. It was a means to achieve one's ambition. So what if it was the Spring Autumn Cicada? As long as the situation was right. Abandoning it could exchange for greater benefits, why not do it?
If you want to obtain it, you must first learn to give it up.
Fang Yuan naturally had such awareness, so he looked at Guyue Zhong.
Guyue Zhong smiled, "If you are willing to hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, then I am willing to compensate you with this token."
Saying so, he took out a token.
The token was simple, triangular in shape with a rounded tip. On the front, there were three words stacked in the shape of a pagoda — "Order of Reward". On the back, there were also three words — "Reward for meritorious service".
The Order of Reward was a reward for meritorious service.
"You are a newly promoted elder, so there are some things that you might not be clear about. This reward token was specially given to Gu Masters who made great contributions to the clan. Even the elders. Very few people have them. With this token, he could go to the family's underground wormhole. Choose any Gu worm. The Gu worms in the wormhole. They are all rare items. Four of the top ten Gu worms on the resource list came from this underground wormhole, "Guyue Zhong explained.
Fang Yuan was tempted.
He was not surprised by this. The Guyue Clan was a clan that had stood tall for hundreds of years. It was impossible for them to not have some foundation and accumulation after such a long time.
In fact … As long as it was a family with a long history, they would have a secret place similar to the underground wormhole to store Gu.
He only wanted to obtain the Gu worms here. They had to be meritorious officials, and they had to have made great contributions. At the same time, they had to be loyal.
Fang Yuan had just been promoted to elder, he was still far from this qualification.
"I want to leave the clan, so I need to store Gu worms. This token is a good choice. But … "Fang Yuan was worried.
The Nine Leaf Vitality Grass could be given up, it was indeed of great help to Fang Yuan, but it could not be used in the future.
Its healing effect was not outstanding, and the vitality leaves it produced could not be used for continuous healing.
Fang Yuan was worried that even if he exchanged for this token, he might not be able to find the ideal Gu in the wormhole.
Guyue Zhong had been observing the situation, he misunderstood Fang Yuan's hesitation and said: "In the wormhole, there are not only Rank three Gu worms, but also Rank four Gu worms. Elder Fang Yuan, you will not lose out. If you regret it in the future, we can exchange it back. But it will take some time, and it has to be done secretly. "
Fang Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Chi Zhong again.
"This is an outstanding person." He sighed in his heart.
A new official has to make drastic changes, this Chi Zhong understood his position very well, not only did he have to compromise with the clan leader, he also had to compromise with the Chi faction and the medicine faction. But at the same time, he had to show his abilities.
Fang Yuan handing over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass had a special meaning to him, and he was willing to pay a high price for it.
"The world is vast, there are so many outstanding people! Under the beast tide, there are constantly old people sacrificing themselves, and new people taking over. From a certain perspective, this is also the replacement of the clan, only then can it maintain its vitality and allow the clan to stand tall. "Fang Yuan thought.
Too many old people would cause an organization to rot and turn dark. Thus, the elimination mechanism was the only way for an organization to maintain its vitality.
Guyue Zhong was only one of the representatives.
Survival of the fittest was the natural way for vitality to flourish. The human body's metabolism could maintain its vitality. The Gu worms in the hands of a Gu Master should not remain the same, only with change can there be improvement.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan took the token from Guyue Zhong's hand and handed over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass at the same time.
Fang Yuan's initiative allowed Chi Zhong to quickly refine the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass.
He placed this grass Gu into his aperture, and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
He had ambition in his heart, temporarily becoming the medicine hall elder was an extremely important opportunity for him. If he could grasp this opportunity, it was not impossible for him to advance from temporary to official.
But to achieve this, he would need to compromise with the three parties.
But politics was the art of compromise.
When Yao Ji was in power, she could not do anything to Fang Yuan. But after he took over, he could make Fang Yuan hand over the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass. This was not only expressing goodwill to the medicine faction and carrying out Yao Ji's legacy, it was also unknowingly showing his own ability.
For this, he did not hesitate to give up the reward token that he had painstakingly accumulated!
"Lord Chi Zhong, it was a pleasure talking to you. I wonder if you have time after this? "Fang Yuan said as he kept the token.
Guyue Zhong's gaze flashed, feeling somewhat puzzled.
…
After a while.
In the guest hall.
"Guyue Dong Tu and his wife greet the two elders!" Fang Yuan's uncle and aunt bowed their heads. They bowed towards Fang Yuan and Chi Zhong, their attitude extremely respectful, even carrying a trace of fear.
After the news of Fang Yuan being promoted to elder spread, it set a benchmark and role model for many young Gu Masters, and also brought shock and fear to his uncle and aunt.
This Fang Yuan, he was only a C grade, how did he suddenly advance to Rank three and become an elder?
Even if it was Guyue Fangzheng. A grade aptitude, he was only Rank two upper stage now.
After such a shock, there was fear.
They could not help but be afraid.
As long as they thought of how they bullied Fang Yuan in the past, they would feel fear in their hearts.
Life is full of ups and downs, don't bully the young for being poor!
With the identity of an elder, it was different.
They were afraid that after Fang Yuan made his fortune. They would come looking for revenge.
But Fang Yuan still came looking for them. Not only that, he even brought another elder with him.
"They come with ill intentions! They come with ill intentions! "Guyue Dong Tu lamented in his heart.
Fang Yuan smiled, "Uncle and aunt, no need to be so courteous. Although I have been promoted to an elder, I am still the nephew of the two of you. Come, sit down. "
Saying so, he sat on the main seat.
Guyue Zhong also sat on the other side.
These two seats were originally for his uncle and aunt, they were the seats of the host.
But when Fang Yuan and the rest sat, his uncle and aunt did not have any objections or dissatisfaction. They even sat on the lower seat. They were hesitant and cowering.
This was the power of an elder.
His uncle and aunt looked at each other and sat down anxiously. They sat upright and still. Their expressions were reserved, and they only sat on half of the chair.
At this time. A servant came up to deliver tea.
Guyue Zhong remained silent and did not drink. Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was unruffled. After tasting the tea, he asked, "I wonder how Uncle and Aunt are doing recently."
Fang Yuan asked with a smile, but in his uncle and aunt's eyes, it was even scarier than a thunderous rage.
Especially his aunt, when she thought of how she had insulted Fang Yuan, she was so scared that her body was trembling.
"Sigh, the wolf tide is here, life is in turmoil. Especially the wine shop was forced to close down, the rent of the bamboo buildings is also decreasing. Honestly, our family is so poor that we can't even feed ourselves. "His uncle actually shed tears when he said this.
He had taken good care of himself in the past, but now he was no longer rosy. His hair had turned white, and his wrinkles had increased. Especially when he responded to the conscription, it was obvious how poor he was.
But Fang Yuan also knew that he had been in charge of the wine shop for many years, he still had some savings. Now that he said it pitifully, it was probably because he was afraid of his revenge, and wanted to use his pitiful appearance to gain sympathy.
"This uncle is usually smart, why is he so stupid when it comes to me? If I came for revenge, would I bring Guyue Zhong? "
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart. He did not like his uncle and aunt, but it did not mean that they had no value.
"Uncle and aunt, you have taken care of me a lot. My achievements today are all thanks to your nurturing. Today, I just received my allowance from the elders. Here are three hundred Yuan stone, please accept it. "As he said this, Fang Yuan passed the money bag to his uncle.
"What? This … "Guyue Zhong's expression at this moment was too interesting.
There was uneasiness in the shock, fear in the uneasiness, and disbelief in the fear.
His aunt was also stunned. She stared blankly at the money bag in Fang Yuan's hand.
What was going on?
Instead of the revenge they imagined, they were given three hundred Yuan stone?
Fang Yuan's words just now were harsh to their ears no matter how they listened to them. "Take care of", "nurture", these words were full of sarcasm, making them feel even more strange.
"What is this Fang Yuan planning?"
"What does he want? How does he want to torture us! "
His uncle and aunt looked at each other, hesitating. They did not dare to accept the money bag.
"Since it is Elder Fang Yuan's filial piety, just accept it." Guyue Zhong said expressionlessly.
"Yes, yes, yes." His uncle nodded repeatedly and accepted the money. Although he was nicknamed the Hidden Elder, he was nothing compared to the current Medicine Hall Elder.
He held the three hundred Yuan stone with both hands. Even with his stingy character, he felt that the money bag was too hot to handle. He really wanted to throw it away immediately!
"Since Uncle has already accepted it, then I shall take my leave." Fang Yuan said as he left.
His uncle and aunt wanted to see him off, but Fang Yuan stopped them.
"Stop looking." In the corner, Mother Shen sighed and said to her daughter, Shen Cui.
Shen Cui's expression was gloomy. She only retracted her gaze when Fang Yuan and Chi Zhong's silhouettes completely disappeared.
"Mother, did I make the wrong choice?" She asked.
Elders could marry one wife and two concubines. If she had been faithful, she might have become Fang Yuan's concubine.
"I really didn't expect Fang Yuan to reach this stage with his C grade aptitude." Mother Shen shook her head helplessly. "Girl, don't take it too hard. Fangzheng has A grade aptitude, he won't be any worse than him! "
"Yes." Shen Cui agreed, her dim eyes blossoming with a faint light.
In this world, mortals are so lowly!
Just look at her, how many things could move the hearts of Gu Masters?
Since she has already given her body to Fangzheng, that is the bet of her life. There is no turning back …)
