"Aunty, what's the good news?" Fang Yuan immediately asked naively.
Just as he asked, an old man walked in from outside.
Bai Ning Bing squinted her eyes secretly, this old man was a Gu Master!
However, he only had Rank one initial stage cultivation, and looked old and clumsy, there was nothing to worry about.
"Young lad, this is our village head." The old lady introduced.
Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing quickly stood up.
Fang Yuan scratched his head, appearing somewhat uneasy: "Lord village head, I am …"
Before he finished his introduction, the village head smiled and waved his hand: "I know you two, outsiders."
Gu Masters could sense aura between each other. But Fang and Bai had the breath concealment Gu in their ears, the Gu Master's aura was concealed, at least the village head could not see through it.
These two outsiders, the old village head had received the villagers' report a few days ago. But he did not take it to heart.
In the past few days, other than Fang and Bai, there were also many people who had stayed in the village for the night.
"Just come, why did you bring anything." The old lady grumbled.
The old village head did not come empty-handed, he held a skewer of fish.
"This was caught in the pond this morning. Your teeth are not good, drink some fish soup, it can nourish your body. "The old village head laughed.
The old lady rolled her eyes at him, taking the fish: "I will go to the kitchen to make the fish soup."
Her voice was filled with joy.
Bai Ning Bing could not tell from the two's expressions and tone. But Fang Yuan's gaze flickered, understanding in his heart — this old man and the old lady were probably in love at twilight.
"Aunty, let me do it." Fang Yuan immediately said.
"Sit, sit, sit down and talk. There's good news! " The old lady hurriedly waved her hand, gesturing for Fang and Bai to sit, "I have already told your matter to the village, our village head is a Gu Master, he can help you."
"Gu Master!" Fang Yuan's eyes opened wide, clearly stunned on the spot.
Bai Ning Bing saw his expression and almost could not help but roll her eyes. She also tried her best to look surprised, but it was obvious that she was far inferior to Fang Yuan. She was well aware of this.
When the old village head saw Fang Yuan's expression, he laughed heartily. He suddenly felt that this ugly man was somewhat adorable. As for Bai Ning Bing, she seemed to be in a daze. In comparison, the old Village Chief preferred Fang Yuan.
"You two youngsters, take a seat. Don't be so reserved." He waved his hand and sat down first.
Fang Yuan fidgeted for a moment before he sat down, panting nervously. Bai Ning Bing also learned from behind him, but it seemed a little unnatural.
The old village head didn't suspect anything. "I heard that you came here to sell herbs and cured meat, but you ran into a wild beast. Bad luck. Your aunty has already told me that you guys have helped her so much here. I have some purple maple leaves here. A few days later, a caravan arrived. Take these purple maple leaves and sell them. Maybe you can get back some money. "
When Bai Ning Bing heard this, she immediately lost interest. So this was the good thing the old granny was talking about.
"This, this, this …" Fang Yuan was so happy that he stuttered. His eyes teared up as he choked, "Village lord, you are really a good person, a very good person!"
The old village head patted this demon's shoulder and said with sympathy, "You don't need to say these words. Who doesn't have times when they are down and out? But I can't give these to you for free, otherwise the villagers will have an opinion. How about this, you guys come to the east side of the village to hoe the fields. After seven days, the caravan will arrive. "
He was quite grateful to Fang and Bai.
He was a mortal born and raised in this village, and was childhood sweethearts with the old granny. But the world is fickle, and the old granny married someone else. During a caravan transaction, a Gu Master saw that he was quick-witted and gave him some pointers, making him a Gu Master.
Because of this, he became the village head. Although he still had feelings for the old granny, they were old people with children, and it would have a bad influence on them, so they didn't interact too much. Although he was the village head, he couldn't help the old granny too openly.
He had secretly observed them, and felt that Fang and Bai had good temperaments, they were hardworking and honest children, but their luck was a little bad.
Thus, when the old granny told him, he immediately agreed to help Fang Yuan.
…
"When you were eating, you promised the old village head. Don't tell me you really want to hoe the fields for seven days and that cart of purple maple leaves? "In the house at night, Bai Ning Bing asked in confusion.
"The purple maple leaves are naturally not my true goal. Didn't you hear earlier, there is a caravan passing through here. "Fang Yuan replied.
"So what? Didn't you mention that there are caravans passing through Zi You mountain all year round? "
"The caravans sometimes pass once a year, sometimes once every half a year. I just didn't expect there to be a caravan in such a short time. I've just been beating around the bush. This caravan travels from east to west. Even if they don't reach Shang clan city, they are going in the same direction as us. "
Bai Ning Bing realized: "You want to join the caravan and borrow their strength to reach Shang clan city?"
She thought for a while, and felt that this was a good idea.
First, the Earth Communication Ear grass was destroyed, and they lacked investigative Gu worms, it would be troublesome for them to move on their own.
Secondly, if they committed a crime, the Bai clan would definitely pursue them and would not let them go. Joining the caravan was a good way to cover their tracks.
Finally, they had the breath concealment Gu, and could disguise as mortals. The caravan was on guard against foreign Gu Masters, but they were not so vigilant against mortals.
Even if they were discovered, it would not be a big deal. At that time, one rank three and one rank two, they would have the ability to escape.
The leader of the caravan was usually rank three. A rank four leader like Jia Fu was rarely seen.
"But even if we disguise as mortals, it would be impossible for us to casually join the caravan, right?" Bai Ning Bing thought for a while, still having some misgivings.
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Of course we can't casually join the caravan. Even mortals need a guarantor. But I think the old village head will help us solve this problem. "
Bai Ning Bing felt relieved, letting go of her worries.
"That's true, I was worried for nothing. With Fang Yuan's craftiness, how could he miss this point? "She thought in her heart.
"Alright. Seven days later, I will definitely break through to rank two initial stage. But other than this, I think it is time to use the iron bone Gu and jade bone Gu. "
Bai Ning Bing curled her lips, not minding: "I said I wanted to use them earlier, but you didn't agree. I have raised them for so many days and wasted a lot of milk spring water."
Fang Yuan sighed: "Young man, you are ignorant and fearless, you don't know the pain in this. Tonight we will not dual cultivate, rest well and I will use the iron bone Gu tomorrow night. "
The next day, Fang and Bai went to the east side of the village to work as promised.
Fang Yuan specially worked from morning until sunset. He concealed his great strength in his body, this amount of exercise was not worth mentioning, but it was enough to make the other farmers look at him in a different light, even looking up to him.
At night, he sat cross-legged on the bed, sinking his mind and pouring his primeval essence into the iron bone Gu in his aperture.
This Gu was like a bone, round at both ends and slender in the middle. Its whole body was black, like it was made of steel.
This Gu was a rank three Gu, instantly consuming a large amount of primeval essence to activate.
Fang Yuan was a mere rank one Gu, he could not use it. But Bai Ning Bing poured in a lot of white silver primeval essence, giving him the qualifications to use it.
The borrowed snow silver primeval essence was almost completely used up, all of it was poured into the iron bone Gu. This Gu first let out a black light, before melting into a liquid iron, flying out of the aperture and fusing into Fang Yuan's bones.
Pain!
Intense pain!
Unimaginable pain!
Fang Yuan felt like his heart was being branded by a hot iron, wherever the liquid iron flowed to, that bone would feel like it was being roasted on charcoal.
This pain was so deep that it made Fang Yuan's expression distort.
Immediately after, cold sweat appeared on Fang Yuan's forehead, and in a moment, his whole body was drenched in sweat.
After a while, Fang Yuan could not hold on any longer, letting out groaning sounds.
Bai Ning Bing's expression changed.
In the darkness, she could not see Fang Yuan's expression and condition, but from this suppressed sound, she could tell the pain was no small matter!
She knew how strong Fang Yuan's willpower was, even when his whole body was shrouded in flames, he did not make a sound.
Right now, after using the iron bone Gu, he let out such a sound, it could be seen how intense the pain was.
Gu Masters nurture, use, and refine, and in terms of use, some Gu's usage was extremely special. The iron bone Gu was like this, once used, it would cause extreme pain. But this pain could only be endured, if he fainted midway, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
In history, many famous Gu Masters had died from the pain of using Gu worms like the iron bone Gu.
Fang Yuan clenched his teeth and persevered, he could not endure the torrential pain, letting out a few groans from his nose.
In the end, he was in so much pain that his whole body was numb, and his teeth felt weak from clenching.
When all the bones in his body were dyed black by the iron liquid, he finally relaxed. He finally relaxed, and almost at the same time, a strong wave of dizziness hit him. His vision turned black, and he almost fainted.
But he held on, taking a few breaths and lying down.
"Finished?" In the darkness, Bai Ning Bing probed.
"Of course." Fang Yuan breathed in, his voice was hoarse but calm, "Go to sleep, we still have work tomorrow."
"Mm." Bai Ning Bing saw that Fang Yuan was still conscious, but she was actually very disappointed. If he fainted, she might be able to get the Yang Gu.
"But that's not right, the Yang Gu is in Fang Yuan's aperture. I don't have any special methods, how can I take it out? "Thinking of this, some of her dark thoughts dispersed.
But on the second day, Fang Yuan did not get up to work, instead lazing around on the bed.
The pain was still tormenting him. As long as he moved, the intense pain was like a hacksaw, mercilessly sawing at his nerves!
The pain temporarily dominated him, making him weak and powerless. Not to mention farm work, he could not even walk on the ground.
Bai Ning Bing realized that last night, Fang Yuan was just putting up a facade.
She did the farm work alone that day.
That night, Fang Yuan recovered to a state where he could move. Bai Ning Bing did not believe it, and also used the Jade Bone Gu.
Only then did she know how much pain Fang Yuan was enduring!
Even someone as prideful as her could not help but groan in pain, even tearing the bedsheets.
But in the end, her whole body trembled as she persevered to the end. Realizing her success, under the assault of intense dizziness, she laid down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
