Fang Yuan put down his wine cup and sat down.
Only then did everyone dare to sit down. These people were not all from the same school. For example, Mobei, Chicheng and others with deep backgrounds were not among them.
"It's about time, I should leave. This banquet was not bad. "Fang Yuan expressed his intention to leave.
Guyue Dingzong was instantly overjoyed after being praised. He hurriedly stood up and took out a money pouch.
The pouch was naturally filled to the brim with Yuan stones.
He bowed and smiled flatteringly: "Today, after listening to Lord's teachings, this lowly one was enlightened and learned a lot. This is just a small gift to express my gratitude. "
He was full of nonsense. Since the start of the banquet, he had only been bootlicking, when did he ask for any cultivation topics.
But everyone acted as if this was really happening. They loudly cheered and encouraged Elder Fang Yuan to accept it.
Fang Yuan did not refuse. He smiled and naturally took the money pouch.
Following that, the second and third person came up to give gifts. All of them were Yuan stones!
"Well said, well said." Fang Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled as he accepted all of them.
How could Fang Yuan carry tens of bags of Yuan stones? When Guyue Dingzong saw this, he immediately called over a few servants to help Fang Yuan carry the bags.
In a short time, Fang Yuan had collected close to ten thousand pieces of Yuan stones!
Finally, Fang Yuan stood up and raised his wine cup again: "It is fate that brought us together. You and I will remember this camaraderie. It is worth a toast."
"Yes!"
"Lord Fang Yuan said it very well."
"His words are incisive and wonderful. He said exactly what we are thinking in our hearts!"
… …
Everyone stood up and praised as they raised their wine cups.
They either had no background or did not have a strong background. They were afraid of Fang Yuan's revenge after he was promoted to elder. At the same time, they wanted to get close to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan smiled faintly, raised his hand, and raised his glass.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky dissipated, revealing the moonlight that was like a veil, illuminating the courtyard outside. The cold air was mixed with the smell of blood. It was so real that it was cruel.
In this hall, the decorations were elegant, and the lights were bright. Wine, women, and wealth filled the air. Everyone had an exaggerated smile on their faces. It was like a warm paradise on earth.
"This is the charm of an organization." Fang Yuan's eyes flickered with a clear light as he stared at the thick wine in the cup, his thoughts drifting.
In the past, when he robbed and blackmailed his classmates, it was just a few pieces of Yuan stone, but that was enough to incur the wrath of the masses.
Now, he didn't even mention it to them, and they were already rushing to deliver the Yuan stone to him. Each bag contained more than a hundred yuan!
On the surface, it seemed that Fang Yuan had the status of an elder.
But it was actually because he was previously outside the system, and now he was in the upper echelons of the organization.
Under the system, the members were all willing to be exploited. Even without Fang Yuan hinting anything, there would be people who would take the initiative to bribe, people who would take the initiative to seek refuge, and women who would throw themselves at him.
This world was like this, and it was the same on Earth.
"The people of this world are so ridiculous. They were robbed for nothing, and when there was a slight loss, they would retaliate fiercely and cry out for injustice. They would bribe the upper echelons, give gifts, bodies, and virginity, but they were all willing. They were even afraid of not doing it well! The reason why I could obtain so many Yuan stones tonight is because of the system. "
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, and couldn't help but think of Guyue, Qing Shu, Mo Yan, and Chi Shan.
Talents like Guyue and Qing Shu, who had B grade talent, were actually much more talented than Fang Yuan in terms of cultivation!
But these people cultivated slowly, and for a long time, they were stuck at the second grade realm.
Was this because they didn't work hard?
Hehe.
He laughed coldly.
This was the system's exploitation and oppression.
However, this kind of exploitation and oppression was often invisible. Ordinary people would never be able to see through it!
Take Fang Yuan's current situation for example, the Yuan stones that these people gave, if used on themselves, would definitely be a boost to their own cultivation.
So as long as there was bribery, it was a form of exploitation!
Countless lower echelons would fight to bribe the upper echelons, and this was the upper echelons raising funds to increase their authority.
Other than money, there was also the exploitation of time.
Elites like Guyue and Qing Shu naturally didn't need to bribe others, but their time was being taken up. Usually, they would ask you to do this and that, ask you to run errands, ask you to run errands, and even say that this was the attention and favor of the upper echelons!
If they used this time to cultivate, Guyue and Qing Shu would have already broken through the peak stage of Rank two, and reached Rank three. If he used the Wood Charm Gu, he might even be able to kill Bai Ning Bing!
The subtlety was that the clan elders were not willing to let a junior like Guyue and Qing Shu advance to Rank three so quickly.
Such a powerful chess piece, if he really became Rank three, he would be on equal footing with them, how could they order him around?
Who would be willing to have their authority divided?
Thus, they purposely dragged and suppressed him, even saying that they thought highly of him, but he needs to be polished to become a jade …
Hehe.
"This is the truth of the system. If one couldn't see through this, then no matter how heroic one was, no matter how talented one was, they would still be nothing more than a dragon or tiger chained by chains. They would only be slaves. People like Guyue Qing Shu, Guyue Zhong and the others, no matter how talented and capable they are, so what? "
Although he thought of so many things, his thoughts moved like lightning, and the outside world only lasted for a moment.
"Everyone, please have a drink." Fang Yuan moved the wine cup to his lips, then raised his head and drank it all.
Everyone hurriedly drank, not daring to leave even half a drop.
"Farewell." Fang Yuan cupped his fists and walked away. Behind him, the servants each held a Yuan stone and followed suit.
Everyone hurriedly sent him off.
"You all can drink, there's no need to send me off." Although Fang Yuan said this, no one dared to do so, they all left their seats and flattered him.
Fang Yuan said again: "I like peace and quiet."
Everyone looked at his expression, then dropped the subject and stayed in the hall.
Looking at Fang Yuan's receding figure, some sighed, some were silent, and some sighed: "Elder Fang Yuan is truly an extraordinary person, so carefree …"
They were all frogs at the bottom of a well, looking at the moon through the fog, they only felt that Fang Yuan was carefree, but they could not see through the system.
Actually, as long as they joined the system, they would be exploited, and their benefits would be sacrificed.
Even the clan leader would be sacrificed, dedicating a large amount of time and effort to manage the clan.
It was just that the situation of the lowest level members being exploited was even more serious. The higher the level, the greater the benefits they enjoyed.
At the start, Fang Yuan snatched the Yuan stone and created opposition, acting independently, not even letting his own younger brother off. In order to avoid this level of exploitation, he had sufficient time and energy to break through to the third rank, becoming a clan elder. This result shocked countless people.
Now, he had become a clan elder, gentle and refined, with high status and authority, enjoying the benefits of a clan elder, causing others to be extremely envious.
This separation and joining, this and that, this was filled with deep wisdom.
But how many people could see it clearly?
Fang Yuan was not being exploited, but enjoyed the benefits. In the eyes of mortals, this was carefree.
…
"Alright, place the items on the table and you may leave." Fang Yuan said.
The servants did not dare to have any objections, after placing the items on the table, they bowed towards Fang Yuan and left.
This place was no longer the house that Fang Yuan had rented in the past.
Ever since Fang Yuan became a clan elder, the clan allocated a brand new bamboo building for him.
There was a study room in the bamboo building, as well as a secret room for cultivation. But the servants did not have one, Fang Yuan had to find one himself.
"Tusita flower, come out."
With a thought from Fang Yuan, silver primeval essence poured in, and the tusita flower imprint on his tongue immediately came to life.
He opened his mouth and spat out a red light. The tusita flower slowly rotated like a lantern, floating in the air and appearing in front of him.
Fang Yuan activated the tusita flower, and immediately the red light expanded, turning the surroundings into a sea of red.
One by one, the primal stones flew out of the bag and into the Tusita Flower, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force.
After a while, the red light faded. Fang Yuan opened his mouth slightly, and the tusita flower flew back into his mouth, landing on his tongue and turning into a red lantern imprint.
"This tusita flower is a Rank three Gu, it can store Yuan stone and other things. It is one of the best Rank three storage Gu, and can store up to thirty thousand Yuan stone. But considering that it also needs to store other things, I can store up to fifteen thousand Yuan stone. "
Although this was Fang Yuan's first time using this Gu, with his rich experience from his previous life, he quickly deduced its limit.
Yuan stone was the most basic resource for a Gu Master's cultivation.
Without Yuan stone, a Gu Master would seriously lack motivation.
Moreover, Yuan stone could quickly recover primeval essence, and was a great help in battle.
Especially for a Gu Master who was alone, Yuan stone was the most basic form of protection in the wilderness. Normally speaking, a Gu Master needed at least ten thousand Yuan stone to ensure a Gu Master's basic supply for a certain period of time. And every once in a while, it needed to be replenished.
A reserve of fifteen thousand Yuan stone, to Fang Yuan, was too little. But it was still at an acceptable level.
"I borrowed three thousand Yuan stone from Chi Lian, and with today's harvest, I won't have to worry about Yuan stone in the short term. Now I have six main aspects, the Blood Moon Canopy for offense and defense, the Thunderwings Gu for movement, the tusita flower for storage, and the Earth Communication Ear Grass for scouting. The only thing I lack is a healer. "Fang Yuan calculated in his mind.
Previously, there was a Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, but Fang Yuan handed it over. Thus, there was tusita flower.
But this Rank two Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, even if he kept it, Fang Yuan was not too satisfied with its healing ability.
"Among the Rank three healing Gu, there are a few that are more ideal. Like the Endless Life Gu, it can heal continuously and consumes little primeval essence. In this aspect, it is most suitable for a Gu Master with poor aptitude like me. There is also the Undying Grass, it can preserve a sliver of life and hang on to one last breath, it is a top-notch life-saving Gu. The most ideal is the Self-reliance Gu. This Gu is special, it relies on the Gu Master's own strength. As long as the Gu Master's strength is great, it can stimulate the Gu Master's metabolism, thus healing injuries. "
But these three Gu, where could Fang Yuan find them?
As for the Guyue clan, even the underground wormhole had been searched by him, but he did not find any.
There was no way such a rare Gu worm would appear on the substance list.
The only thing that had hope was the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance.
But this possibility was miniscule, and Fang Yuan did not have any hope. He already felt that the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance was coming to an end. How could there be a Gu that Fang Yuan needed at the very end?
If that was the case, then it would be too ideal, too perfect.
But Fang Yuan knew that this world was cruel and incomplete. If he really placed his hopes on it, then he would be naive!
"But even so, it is time to explore this inheritance. At least that Chainsaw Golden Centipede should be in my hands. "Fang Yuan had some thoughts in his heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
