The autumn wind rustled, and red leaves fell.
The weeds were yellow, and red or orange wild fruits hung on the branches.
"Hmph!" The black wild boar's hair stood up, its four hooves stampeding on the ground.
The ground on the mountain was covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves.
The wild boar charged over, bringing with it a gust of wind, and the fallen leaves danced behind it.
Fang Yuan stood there quietly, looking at the wild boar getting closer, his face cold.
Kill!
He suddenly took a big step forward, and then his legs took turns to move, not dodging, but charging towards the wild boar.
The wild boar's two snow white tusks pierced through the air, emitting killing intent.
Fang Yuan dodged the tusks, and slammed his shoulder into the wild boar's head.
Just as they were about to collide, a light green jade light flashed on Fang Yuan's shoulder.
Jade Skin Gu!
Bam.
With a muffled sound, the two fiercely collided.
Fang Yuan took three steps back, while the wild boar took one step back.
Honestly speaking, between the two sides, Fang Yuan was slightly stronger. But Fang Yuan's two legs could not support the wild boar's four hooves, and at the same time, the wild boar's center of gravity was much lower and more stable than Fang Yuan's.
But the wild boar's head was hit by Fang Yuan, and although it was still standing, its fat body was already shaking.
Fang Yuan shouted, and charged forward again, his left hand pressing on the wild boar's tusks, and his right fist raised high. The light green jade light formed a thin membrane, covering the surface of his fist.
Bam.
The fist smashed down, and the wild boar immediately cried out in pain, struggling with all its might.
The muscles on Fang Yuan's left arm bulged, and the veins popped out, like earthworms coiling around his arm, tightly restraining the wild boar.
At the same time, his right fist continued to be raised high, and then smashed down heavily.
Bam bam bam.
Every time his fist hit the wild boar's head, the jade light on his fist would explode once.
The wild boar was smashed by the fist until it was dizzy, and its struggling became weaker and weaker.
"Final blow!" Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with electricity. He stretched his upper body and straightened his right arm, raising it to the highest point. Then, he bent his right elbow and smashed it down.
The green jade light stuck closely to Fang Yuan's right elbow. Following Fang Yuan's movements, it drew a green shadow in the air.
Bang!
Fang Yuan knelt on one knee and smashed the wild boar's skull with his elbow. The wild boar did not even have the time to let out a final scream before it suddenly stopped.
A pig's head was completely deformed. The broken white skull pierced through the black skin and was exposed. Fresh blood and brain matter flowed out slowly, dyeing the layers of withered leaves in a brilliant scarlet color.
A bleak autumn wind blew over.
It rolled up a few fallen leaves and blew away the steam from the pig's blood.
"Life should be as splendid as the summer flowers. Death should be as beautiful as autumn leaves, "Fang Yuan murmured, appreciating the scene.
The living were strong and brilliant, while the dead were cold and silent.
Between life and death, there was such a strong contrast, showing the cruelty of nature, and the brilliance of life.
"No matter which world, the victor is splendid and brilliant, while the loser is cold and desolate. The difference between victory and defeat, to me, is the difference between life and death. Because walking on the demonic path, once one fails, it usually means death. "
Fang Yuan leaned against the boar's corpse and sat cross-legged on the ground. He let out the White Boar Gu and let it eat the boar, before sending a portion of his consciousness into his aperture.
The dark green bronze primeval sea in his aperture was rising and falling, waves rising and falling.
When the primeval sea was at the great circle, it occupied 44% of the aperture's volume. In the intense battle earlier, Fang Yuan had used the Jade Skin Gu many times to increase his defense, causing his primeval essence to be consumed. Now, he only had 36% of his primeval essence left.
Calculating, he had only used 80% of his primeval essence, not even 10%. But because this was Rank one peak stage dark green primeval essence, the consumption was huge.
Rank one initial stage was jade green primeval essence.
Rank one middle stage was pale green primeval essence.
Rank one upper stage was dark green primeval essence.
Rank one peak stage was dark green primeval essence.
Concentrated was the essence.
Activating the Moonlight Gu once required 10% of the jade green primeval essence, but when converted to pale green primeval essence, it only required 5%. The dark green primeval essence was reduced by half, and so was the dark green primeval essence.
That is to say, 10% dark green primeval essence was equivalent to 20% dark green, 40% pale green, and 80% jade green.
Using the Jade Skin Gu consumed 80% of the dark green primeval essence, and when converted to Rank one initial stage jade green primeval essence, it was 64%!
If Fang Yuan was still at initial stage, his aperture would only have 44% primeval essence, and after using half of it, the primeval sea in his aperture would be completely used up.
"The higher the Gu Master's cultivation, the stronger their battle strength, and this is reflected in their primeval essence. The higher the rank, the darker the color of the primeval essence, and the more durable it is. But my dark green primeval essence was refined by the Liquor worm on the basis of upper stage primeval essence. Unlike Fangzheng, who has already advanced to Rank one peak stage. "Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's gaze flashed.
Time passed quickly, and it was already late autumn.
It had been more than two months since Wang Da's assassination.
Fangzheng was poisoned, and had been unconscious for seven days and seven nights. When he woke up, it was as if he had changed into a different person. He became extremely hardworking, and his cultivation was extremely arduous.
Some people say, every tribulation in life is a fortune akin to gold.
Regardless of whether this was true or not, Fangzheng had indeed learned a lot from this tribulation. He was like an unpolished jade, and after being polished, the beautiful jade inside was revealed.
He was the first student to advance to upper stage, and not long ago, he was the first to advance to Rank one peak stage, once again leaving his peers behind. The radiance of A grade aptitude began to shine from his body.
"I am not far from the peak, at most ten days to half a month. Speaking of which, I have never stopped nurturing my aperture, but C grade aptitude cannot be compared to A or B grade aptitude. At the same time, there is another reason … "Fang Yuan thought of this, and his mouth opened, letting out a silent bitter laugh.
Every once in a while, he would hunt jade eye stone monkeys, and feed them to the Jade Skin Gu. At the same time, he would continue to search in the stone forest, in order to find clues to the Flower Wine Monk's next power inheritance.
The terrain of the stone forest was rather complicated, and huge rocks hung vertically from the ceiling. If Fang Yuan was not careful, he would get too close to a stone pillar, and attract the attack of the jade eye stone monkeys.
There were many times when Fang Yuan was chased by tens of jade eye stone monkeys. The most dangerous time was when he was retreating, he stepped into the warning line of another stone pillar, and attracted the pursuit of two groups of over a hundred stone monkeys.
Luckily, these jade eye stone monkeys had a shut-in nature, and every time they chased, they would not chase too far. After chasing for a distance, they would often return home, and continue to shut-in.
Even so, there were many times when Fang Yuan was on the brink of death. At crucial times, the Jade Skin Gu played a very good defensive role.
Such explorations required Fang Yuan to invest large amounts of time and energy, and this was the main reason why his cultivation progress was so slow.
"But even so, it's much better than my previous life. Also, exploring the stone forest is not without results. At least I know that there are no problems with the surrounding stone walls. My initial guess is that the next clue to the power inheritance should be somewhere in the stone forest. "
As Fang Yuan was deep in thought, a black shadow stepped over the dead branches, approaching.
This was a wandering old wolf.
It had a brown fur coat, and was limping. One of its eyes was disabled, and its remaining left eye emitted a cruel and alert green light.
It stared closely at Fang Yuan, its nose twitching. Wolves were like dogs, and had a keen sense of smell. It should have been attracted by the smell of pig blood.
Wolves were usually pack animals, but there were also wandering crippled wolves like this. There was competition within the wolf pack, and to maintain the vitality of the entire pack, they would get rid of the crippled old wolves with low battle strength.
Fang Yuan quickly stood up, quietly looking at this old wolf.
In the past, when he killed a wild boar, he would have little primeval essence left, and his battle strength would decrease greatly. When encountering wild beasts, he would choose to avoid them.
But these few months, his battle strength had increased rapidly, and with the Jade Skin Gu, it was more than enough to deal with a crippled wolf.
The entire mountain was covered in red leaves.
The setting sun shone down.
One man and one wolf were fifty steps apart, quietly looking at each other.
In the wolf's eyes, a green light shone, revealing a cruel and cunning intent. As for Fang Yuan's eyes, they were deep and dark, emitting a cold intent.
The White Boar Gu came out. It had eaten its fill, and flew back into Fang Yuan's aperture in satisfaction.
The old wolf looked at the wild boar on the ground, only bones and skin were left, the meat was almost eaten up by the White Boar Gu.
The green light in the wolf's eyes shrunk, and it took a few steps back, before turning around and entering the forest.
To be able to survive until now, this old wolf naturally had a certain level of intelligence. It sharply sensed Fang Yuan's terror, and cautiously chose to retreat.
It came suddenly, and left in a hurry.
There was no noise from the wild boar's charge, no noise from the tiger's growl.
The battle with Fang Yuan started and ended in silence.
"Under the theme of life and death, who knows how many wonders nature has nurtured." Fang Yuan stood on the spot, not giving chase. There was nothing on this old wolf that was worth his time.
Howl!
But at the next moment, the old wolf's miserable howl was heard.
The wolf howl suddenly erupted, and instantly stopped. As such, there was a thick aura of death.
Crack, crack.
From the forest, there was the sound of twigs being stepped on.
The sound was unrestrained, getting closer and closer. Fang Yuan's pupils shrunk.
"To be able to get rid of that crafty old wolf in an instant …" His gaze became colder.
