"Put the wine under the bed." Fang Yuan commanded the four workers of the inn.
Each of them held several jars of green bamboo wine in their hands. After Fang Yuan extorted the other students, he came to the inn and bought twenty jars in one go.
Each jar cost two Yuan stone, but Fang Yuan threw out forty Yuan stone for the sake of the Liquor worm.
The bulging money pouch instantly deflated by half, leaving behind only thirty-nine Yuan stone. But it was still worth the money, as these wines could support the Liquor worm for a long time.
"Okay." The workers quickly replied, not daring to show the slightest disrespect to a Gu Master.
Adding on the fact that Fang Yuan bought so much wine, he could be said to be a big customer of the inn. With just a few words from the innkeeper, these workers could easily lose their jobs.
After the workers left, Fang Yuan closed the door of the dormitory and sat cross-legged on the bed.
It was already night time.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the night wind carried a faint fragrance.
The room was not lit, so Fang Yuan calmed his emotions and threw his mind into the primeval sea.
The primeval sea was like waves, the seawater giving off a bronze luster. Every wave of seawater was the unique bronze primeval essence of a Rank one Gu Master.
The primeval sea only reached 44% of the entire aperture, this was the limit of Fang Yuan's C grade talent.
The four walls of the aperture were a thin layer of white light film, supporting and enveloping the aperture.
Above the primeval sea, there was nothing. Under Fang Yuan's command, the Spring Autumn Cicada had hidden itself again, recuperating in its deep sleep.
But on the primeval sea, there was a white, fat and cute Liquor worm floating.
It wantonly played around in the primeval sea, sometimes diving into the sea, sometimes swaying its head and tail, splashing water droplets.
Fang Yuan's thoughts moved, and the Liquor worm immediately responded, stopping its playfulness and curling into a rice-ball shape. It slowly floated up to the center of the aperture, leaving the bronze sea.
"Go." Fang Yuan mobilized ten percent of his primeval essence, forming a thin stream that rushed upwards, pouring into the Liquor worm's body.
The Liquor worm had already been refined by him, so it did not reject it, absorbing all the primeval essence into its body.
Immediately, 44% of the sea level decreased by a small amount.
Transforming the True Essence into power, the Liquor Worm, which had curled into a ball, began to blossom with a white light. The dense smell of wine gradually emerged from the scattered light, and finally converged into a cloud of pale white wine mist.
The wine mist was wondrous. It did not disperse, but instead enveloped the Liquor Worm's body.
"Rise." With a thought, Fang Yuan mobilized another ten percent of his Quintessential Essence.
The bronze seawater pounced on the wine mist. The wine mist merged with the seawater and became less and less. In the end, there was nothing left. And that 10% of the Green Bronze True Essence also disappeared out of thin air, leaving only 5%.
However, this 5% True Origin Energy was much more condensed than before. His original True Yuan was emerald green and emitted a copper luster. Now, although this True Essence also had a copper color, the green color was deeper, it was a pale green color.
Pale green primeval essence was the primeval essence that only Rank one middle stage Gu Masters possessed. The Liquor worm's effect was to condense primeval essence and raise a Gu Master's primeval essence by a small realm!
Gu Masters had nine great realms, from low to high, Rank one, Rank two, all the way to Rank nine. Every great realm was further subdivided into four smaller realms, which were initial stage, middle stage, upper stage and peak stage.
Fang Yuan was currently only a Rank one initial stage Gu Master, but with the help of the Liquor worm, he possessed 5% of a Rank one middle stage Gu Master's primeval essence!
"If I want to condense 5% middle stage primeval essence, I will need to consume 20% of my initial stage primeval essence. If I want to convert 44% of the primeval sea in my aperture into middle stage primeval essence, I will need to consume close to 18% of my initial stage primeval essence. If I want to achieve this goal quickly, I will need to use the Yuan stone. "
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan opened his eyes and took out a complete Yuan stone the size of a duck egg from his bag.
Yuan stone was a translucent oval-shaped stone with a grey-white color. As the natural primeval essence in the stone continued to be depleted, its size would also continue to shrink.
He slowly closed his right hand, holding the Yuan stone tightly in his palm. He absorbed the natural primeval essence in it and continuously replenished his own aperture.
The originally falling sea level in his aperture slowly rose.
Yuan stone was meant to be used, and Fang Yuan was not stingy at all, nor did he know how to be thrifty.
"I have no backing, no friends or family to support me, so I can only rely on extortion and robbery. Today is only the first time, but from now on, every seven days when the school distributes the Yuan stone allowance, I will continue to block the school entrance. "
How could extortion and robbery satisfy Fang Yuan's appetite? Yuan stone was lacking in Gu Master cultivation.
As for the repercussions of this robbery, Fang Yuan was not the least bit worried.
This world was different from Earth.
On Earth, schools often forbade fighting in order to maintain stability and harmony. But in this world, fighting was the main theme.
Be it Gu Masters or mortals, they all had to fight for survival. Sometimes they had to fight with terrifying wild beasts, sometimes they had to fight against the harsh and violent weather, and sometimes they had to fight with other Gu Masters for resources.
Therefore, controlled fights were instead encouraged and advocated by the people.
From childhood to adulthood, from fighting to life and death battles, this was the portrayal of most people's lives.
This world was vast and boundless, just the Southern Border where Fang Yuan lived was larger than seven or eight times the size of Earth. The living environment here was extremely harsh, and humans usually lived in clans, building villages and holing up in a corner.
Every once in a while, there would be a beast tide or extremely harsh weather that would attack the village.
Gu Masters became the backbone of the village's defense, and the situation of losing people every year was quite serious.
Life required people with strong fighting will. Clans needed fighting Gu Masters, and they would never complain about having too many of them.
Moreover, Fang Yuan had a sense of propriety when he attacked.
He never attacked the chin, because it could easily cause skull fractures, which could easily lead to death. He also did not attack the back of other people's heads. When fighting, he did not use his fists, elbows or fingers, but instead used his palms. The number of times he kicked could be counted on one hand.
The students who fell were not heavily injured, at most lightly injured.
Fang Yuan was not addicted to killing, he only treated killing as a method.
Every time he attacked, he had a clear goal. Whatever method could allow him to achieve his goal, he would use it.
In other words, he would do anything by hook or by crook.
… …
Dark clouds floated over, covering the moonlight.
A layer of shadow shrouded Guyue's village.
The night watchman banged his clapper, reminding the people that it was already late at night, to be careful of candles, beasts, and Gu Masters who could infiltrate the village.
There were still many lights in the village that were not extinguished.
In the Red Branch Family, Guyue's study room was brightly lit.
This old man with high authority was using a gentle tone to console his grandson Guyue Cheng, "I heard you were beaten up by that Fang Yuan today?"
Guyue Cheng's right eye turned black, and he angrily said, "Yes, grandfather. Fang Yuan is only a mere C grade, but he is so arrogant. He blocked all of us at the door, disregarding our friendship as classmates, and robbed our Yuan stone. What was even more infuriating was that the academy actually turned a blind eye to it. Only when Fang Yuan left did the guards arrive. Grandpa, you have to help your grandson vent his anger this time! "
Guyue Cheng shook his head, "This is a matter between you juniors. You were only extorted from a mere piece of Yuan stone, and you were not heavily injured. Grandfather did not have a proper reason to act. Moreover, even if you were heavily injured, grandfather would not stand up for you, do you understand why? "
Guyue Cheng was stunned. He thought hard, and after a while, he hesitantly said, "Grandfather, I somewhat understand what you mean. You want me to rely on my own strength to get back at him, right? "
"You only understood one aspect." Guyue Cheng nodded, "You have to remember, you are not only representing yourself, but also the image of our Red Branch Family. Our Red Branch Family and Mo Branch Family have been at odds for many years, and your every move represents the future of our Red Branch Family. Grandfather can help you in secret, but you have to erect the image of a strong and independent person. Otherwise, the elders who support us will not see any hope for the future and abandon our Red Branch Family. "
At this point, Guyue Cheng sighed, "This is also why grandfather helped you cheat and let you pretend to have a 'B' grade aptitude. Our Red Branch Family needs a strong successor, so that those who support us can continue to persevere. "
Guyue Cheng finally understood, "Grandfather, I understand now."
Guyue Cheng shook his head, "It's useless to just understand, you have to work hard. Fang Yuan's matter is just a small problem, so you have to work hard and practice your basic martial arts to get back at him. At the same time, don't forget to cultivate diligently and advance to the intermediate level as soon as possible. It's best if you can obtain the position of class chairman. This is a great honor, and also a kind of help to our Red Branch Family. "
"Yes, grandfather," Guyue Cheng responded loudly.
"Hehehe, this spirit is what a successor of our Red Branch Family should be like. Grandson, work hard, grandfather will do his best to help you. "
