Waves rose and fell in the green copper primeval sea, rising and falling.
Above the sea, the Liquor worm curled up into a ball, emitting a faint white mist of wine.
A gust of primeval essence rushed upwards, straight into the wine mist. By the time it landed, half of it was gone, and the color was deeper. From the initial stage emerald green, it turned into the middle stage pale green.
The middle stage primeval essence fell into the primeval sea, but it did not mix with the initial stage primeval essence. It was as if it was heavier, sinking into the bottom.
The upper half of the primeval sea was initial stage primeval water, and the lower half was middle stage primeval essence.
As time passed, the wine mist lingered in the aperture. Under the refinement of the Liquor worm, the initial stage primeval essence gradually decreased, and the middle stage primeval essence gradually increased.
It could be clearly seen that the middle stage primeval essence in the lower half was getting higher and higher, while the initial stage primeval essence in the upper half was dropping and rising.
Fang Yuan refined the primeval essence while absorbing the natural primeval essence from the Yuan stone, quickly replenishing the aperture in his body.
Finally, 45% of the primeval sea in the aperture was completely refined into middle stage primeval essence.
"Thanks to the middle stage primeval essence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cut the rock five times in a row in the gambling den." Sitting cross-legged on the bed in the dormitory, Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.
It was already late at night.
After he came out of the gambling den, he did not go to any other shops, but went straight back to the academy.
Although it was near the Guyue village, as a Rank one initial stage Gu Master, having 538 Yuan stones was still too much.
This was not only because these Yuan stones were heavy and inconvenient to carry around. It also attracted covetous eyes, and could endanger one's life.
If a Rank one upper stage, or even a Rank two Gu Master had evil intentions, with Fang Yuan's current ability, he would not be able to handle them.
"Money is just a worldly possession, and it is sad that people die because of money. It is laughable that many people in the world cannot see through this. The boat of profit carries many people, and also how many people sink. "Fang Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile, looking at the grey Yuan stone in his hand.
A complete Yuan stone was the size of a duck egg. But the one in his hand, because half of the true essence had been absorbed, had already shrunk a whole circle.
Fang Yuan did not feel heartache at all.
Everything has its pros and cons. He only had C grade aptitude, and he had to use the Liquor worm to refine his Zhen Yuan. Yuan stone consumption was several times that of his peers. However, it was also because of this that he was able to overcome his lack of aptitude. In terms of true cultivation progress, he could be ranked in the top three.
Fang Yuan put the Yuan stone back into his coin pouch and took out the last piece of the purple-gold fossil.
He had bought a total of six pieces at the casino, opened five on the spot, and brought the last one back with him.
His eyes shone brightly and he activated the Moonlight Gu again. His five fingers rubbed together as he dissected the rock.
Under the blue light, the purple-gold fossil rapidly shrunk, and in the end, it was ground into nothingness, leaving only a small pile of stone powder on the ground beside the bed.
Fang Yuan was not surprised. When it came to stone gambling, nine out of ten gambles were lost.
Even if he had 500 years of experience, he could only lose eight out of ten gambles. The remaining twenty percent chance of winning was divided into dead Gu and live Gu.
The dead Gu did not have much value. As for the live Gu, it might not be that rare Gu. If it was really a live Gu with great value, it would instead attract a fatal disaster.
Fang Yuan's current cultivation was very low, he was at the bottom of the Gu Master hierarchy. If the Mudskin Toad that he had just opened was not near the Guyue village, he might have been robbed by Jia Jin Sheng.
Gambling was never a way to get rich. Instead, many people went bankrupt because of it. This was not Fang Yuan's path of development.
Although the last purple-gold fossil did not have a Gu worm, Fang Yuan was not disappointed. But Fang Yuan was not disappointed, instead looking at the pile of stone powder on the ground, he gradually smiled.
That's right, his ultimate goal in entering the casino was this pile of stone powder.
As for the Mudskin Toad, it was just something he did in passing.
He dissected the rock in private, and other than him, no one knew the true result.
From now on, he could make an excuse and say that the Liquor worm was awakened from this purple-gold fossil.
This was a great idea.
First, no one could be sure what kind of Gu was sealed in the fossil. Who would dare say that the Liquor worm could not sleep in the purple-gold fossil? This was completely possible!
Secondly, he had a few eyewitnesses. Him opening the Mudskin Toad must have left a deep and distinct impression on the Gu Masters in the casino.
Thirdly, even if someone did not give up, he could attribute it all to luck. Luck was the hardest thing to understand. Even if someone suspected that this was the Flower Wine Monk's Liquor worm, with the excuse of "luck", there was nothing they could do.
In the dark room, Fang Yuan's gaze was gloomy.
Blindly hiding it was like trying to cover a fire with paper. One day, he would be exposed.
To get rid of the Liquor worm, he had to take the initiative. This was Fang Yuan's style.
Moreover, he had thought about it carefully. In the following cultivation process, he needed to expose the Liquor worm.
"A Rank one Gu like the Liquor worm is very precious to a Rank one Gu Master. But at Rank two, it is no longer useful. Thus, if it is exposed, it will at most attract some attention. It does not affect the big picture, so it is not important. It is not like the Spring Autumn Cicada. If the Spring Autumn Cicada is exposed, I might die without a burial place. "
With five hundred years of life experience, Fang Yuan had long since seen through people's psychology, and understood it like the back of his hand.
"The Flower Wine Monk's inheritance and the Mudskin Toad. In my memory, these were the only two things that could be taken advantage of, and now I have picked them up. From now on, I can only rely on myself to cultivate step by step. "
Fang Yuan sighed and stretched his body, feeling a kind of fatigue.
A Gu Master's primeval sea cultivation could not replace sleep.
Fang Yuan pulled up the bedding and laid on the bed, his eyes still half open.
Although there were more than five hundred pieces of Yuan stone hidden at the head of the bed, and many jars of green bamboo wine stored under the bed, he still felt a faint sense of danger.
These five hundred pieces of Yuan stone was already a limit. Extreme prosperity leads to decline, Fang Yuan was clear that his primeval stone expenditure would only increase in the future.
And most of his income came from extorting his classmates.
He could already feel that the classmates around him had obvious improvements. Especially in the recent extortions, Guyue Mobei, Chicheng and his brother Guyue Fangzheng, these three had great improvements in their fist and leg skills. In the past, they could be dealt with in one or two moves, but now they needed five or six.
"After three or four more robberies, their fist and leg skills will be honed. They will challenge me one by one, and with my current stamina, I can't take that kind of continuous battle. Five hundred pieces of Yuan stone may seem like a lot, but with my intense consumption of four pieces of Yuan stone a day, it is actually not much. "
"There are no more treasures on Qing Mao mountain, but the nearby Bai Gu mountain has a secret inheritance left behind by a Rank four righteous Gu Master. But to obtain this inheritance is very troublesome. There is an important checkpoint that requires two people to work together to pass. "
"Sigh, the main thing is that the Flower Wine Monk's inheritance is too little, and I only got a Liquor worm. Hmm … there is still that image wall. Maybe I can sell it to one of the merchants in the caravan … "
As Fang Yuan pondered, his eyelids became heavier and heavier until he fell asleep.
