Seeing Fang Yuan walk to the dark leopard's corpse, Bai Ning Bing's gaze was attracted.
The former squatted down and started to dig the ears of the dark leopard.
Soon, Fang Yuan took out two small purple leaves from the male leopard's left and female leopard's right ears.
This was a breath concealment Gu.
Rank three grass Gu, Gu Masters could use it to conceal their aura and cultivation, giving them a certain degree of camouflage.
Almost every dark leopard had a breath concealment Gu in their ears. But dark leopards always moved in pairs, and they had at least thousand beast king strength. They were good at sneak attacks, fast and agile, making them very dangerous and troublesome to capture.
Moreover, the dark leopard was a fierce beast that only existed near Zi You mountain. Thus, the information about the breath concealment Gu hidden in the dark leopard's ears was not widely known.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, a righteous figure appeared, known as' hunting king 'Sun Gan. With him as the first, he hunted dark leopards and obtained breath concealment Gu, selling them in the market and reaping huge profits, thus becoming rich.
After him, countless Gu Masters rushed to Zi You mountain to make a fortune. Just a few years later, the dark leopard went extinct.
But now, Zi You mountain was still a secluded place.
Here, it was safe during the day, but extremely dangerous at night. There were no clans, but there were embryonic forms of clans — villages.
Although there were no Earth Communication Ear Grass to scout, they were lucky to obtain two breath concealment Gu.
Fang and Bai relied on this Gu to avoid many dangers.
They would not go up Zi You mountain. With their current strength, they could already travel through ordinary forests. But they did not have the strength to go deep into famous mountains and great rivers. To explore these places, even Bai clan would have to pay a huge price. Not to mention the current Fang and Bai.
They moved around the foot of Zi You mountain, and two days later, they found a mountain path.
Man-made mountain paths were much safer than ordinary forests. Of course, if they were unlucky, they would also encounter danger.
Moving along the mountain path, one evening, Fang and Bai discovered smoke rising in spirals.
The two glanced at each other and quickened their steps. At a col in the mountain, they found a village.
The village was surrounded by low stone walls, and farmers returned in twos and threes, carrying hoes and other farming tools, walking into the village. There were also guards standing around the village.
However, these people were all mortals, so they were nothing to worry about.
"Let's go." Fang Yuan led the way down the village.
"Just like that?" Bai Ning Bing was slightly surprised.
Their appearance quickly attracted the curious, doubtful, and suspicious gazes of the villagers.
Most villages in this world were very xenophobic. It was even more so for the clan's mountain stronghold. The security was tight, for fear of spies and thieves sneaking in.
"May I ask if these two guests from afar are you esteemed Lord Gu Masters?" Before they even reached the village entrance, two guards with similar appearances came up to them.
Bai Ning Bing didn't say anything. According to the original agreement, everything would be handled by Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan shook his head. "Brothers, we're just mortals."
Hearing this, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief, and their expressions became relaxed.
The younger youngster disdainfully sized up Fang Yuan's body, saying with some disgust, "I knew it, this person is so ugly, how can he be one of those powerful Lord Gu Masters?"
Fang Yuan's body was covered in burns, and he was also missing an ear. His appearance was ugly and disgusting.
Bai Ning Bing also changed into ordinary attire, her long silver hair not only shaved short, but also dyed black. Her whole body was covered in ice, and thus her skin was as white as snow. But the color of her eyes couldn't be concealed, so she wore a straw hat, covering the upper half of her face.
When the two of them stood together, they looked like two mortal villagers.
"Brother, don't talk nonsense." The older guard reprimanded, and then looked at Fang and Bai vigilantly, "Where did you come from, why did you come here?"
"We came from the village on the other side of the mountain. Originally, he had dragged a handcart with medicinal herbs and cured meat, thinking of selling them. Sigh, we met a tiger on the way. Oh my, that scared me to death. We ran all the way, and managed to escape with our lives. Sigh … we don't dare to go back for now, so we came to your village to sleep for a night. Just one night, we will leave tomorrow. "Fang Yuan said casually.
The guard's vigilance decreased slightly.
Fang Yuan said again, "Brother, don't blame your brother. My injuries were caused by fire, that day when my house was on fire, I was burnt to this state in order to grab some rice. "
"Sigh, life is hard these days." The older guard sighed, "Enter the village. If no one takes you in, you can just stay in the corner for the night. "
Saying so, he moved aside.
Watching Fang and Bai enter the village, the guard ordered his younger brother, "Go and tell the village chief that there are two outsiders here. The old man has a lot of experience, ask him to take a look."
"Brother, you are too careful. Why don't you think about it, how can these two be Gu Masters? Moreover, why would Gu Masters lie to us mortals? To have fun? "
"If I tell you to go, just go!"
"Asking me to run errands again …" The young man grumbled, but still went.
The village was peaceful.
The fragrance of food permeated the air. After a day of work, the laughter of a family gathering for a meal also reached Fang and Bai's ears.
Being in such an environment, Bai Ning Bing could not help but feel relaxed.
The reason why he disguised himself was because he did not want to expose his tracks, that would make it easier for the Bai clan to hunt him down. Secondly, it was because Fang Yuan was a cautious person, and liked to hide in an unfamiliar environment, making it easier for him to deal with sudden and abnormal situations.
It was very easy to find a family to take them in, just give them a Yuan stone fragment, and they would happily vacate the main house.
But doing so did not match their current status.
Fang Yuan had a better method.
He walked around the village for a while, and stopped in front of a dilapidated house.
This family only had one old lady. She originally had a grandson, but when he was playing outside, he was eaten by wolves.
In front of the house, the old lady was drawing water from a well, looking very strenuous.
"Aunty, let me help you." Fang Yuan put on a silly smile, and ran over eagerly.
The old lady saw Fang Yuan, and was shocked by his appearance.
But Fang Yuan was very enthusiastic, and with a silly smile on his face, he quickly helped her draw a few buckets of water, and the old lady's wariness disappeared.
"Lad, you are from another village, right?" The old lady laughed, her mouth was cracked, and only a few teeth were left.
"Yes, I want to stay at aunty's place for a night. Aunty, let me work for you, what do you think? "Fang Yuan said naively.
"Sure." The old lady said happily. Although the villagers usually helped each other, she still needed this kind of labor force.
Bai Ning Bing was speechless as she watched from behind.
This scoundrel Fang Yuan was too good at acting!
After drawing water, it was time to chop firewood. Fang Yuan even took the initiative to cook, and his quick and efficient actions made the old lady praise him again and again.
"Aunty, let me help you draw a few buckets of water, let's talk after the water jar is filled." After dinner, Fang Yuan took the buckets of water and went out.
The old lady said no need, but Fang Yuan insisted.
After the water jar was filled, the old lady's eyes were filled with tears: "Lad, you are so honest. Sigh, it is a pity that your life is as bitter as mine … "
Evidently, the tragic story that Fang Yuan fabricated during dinner had left a deep impression on this simple and honest old lady.
To mortals, lamp oil was precious. The house was dark at night.
Only moonlight shone through the window.
There were two beds in the house, and they were very simple. But Bai Ning Bing was already very satisfied as she laid on the bed. The fatigue from these days of walking slowly dissipated at this moment.
Fang Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, and his mind entered his aperture, inspecting the bone flesh unity Gu.
These days, he did not use this pair of Gu.
After all, it was refined by altering the recipe. According to Fang Yuan's cautious nature, he naturally had to do some research.
Suddenly, Fang Yuan opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed past.
"There should be no problem, I can use the bone flesh unity Gu now." Saying so, he summoned a pair of jade bracelets shaped Gu.
These two jade bracelets, one was green like grass, while the other was red like blood, and they were still locked together, unable to be separated.
Earlier, Fang Yuan had already refined them. But to use them, he had to give up one of them, and let Bai Ning Bing refine it.
Bai Ning Bing sat cross-legged, and received the Gu worm, but she did not refine it, instead looking at Fang Yuan: "What do you plan to do next?"
Fang Yuan chuckled: "I thought you wouldn't ask."
Even in the darkness, Bai Ning Bing could feel the teasing smile on Fang Yuan's face.
She snorted.
Fang Yuan did not think of hiding it from her: "Our next destination is Shang Liang mountain."
"Shang Liang mountain, Shang clan?" Bai Ning Bing raised her eyebrows.
Shang clan was one of the top forces in Southern Border, not weaker than Tie clan or Fei clan, only being suppressed by Wu clan.
Shang clan was famous in Southern Border for their trade. Even outside of Southern Border, anyone with some knowledge knew that Southern Border's Shang clan was the center of trade, and how prosperous Shang clan city was, with Yuan stone everywhere.
When Bai Ning Bing still had the Northern Dark Ice Soul physique, she had yearned to visit Shang clan city, but now she was worried: "We committed a crime in Bai clan, I'm afraid we will be hunted down by the righteous path. If we go to Shang clan city, won't we be walking into a trap? "
Fang Yuan smiled: "In the entire Southern Border, there are only two places that can accommodate us. Shang clan city is definitely one of them. Although Shang clan is one of the leaders of the righteous path, Shang clan city is indeed a land of freedom, and the best place for demonic path people to sell their loot. Otherwise, why do you think Shang clan is the richest in Southern Border? Even the Wu Clan is left in the dust in this aspect. "
Bai Ning Bing's thoughts wandered as she heard this: "The rumors say that anything can be bought in Shang clan city, is that true?"
Fang Yuan shook his head: "Those who say this are all low level. In this world, there are too many things that have a price but no supply. For example — a certain Yang Gu? Heh heh heh. " If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Yisou.
