REVEREND INSANITY
Round 100: Gu Jade White

Round 100: Gu Jade White

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Deep in the mountain, in the underground stone forest.

Squeakkkk!

Dozens of jade-eyed monkeys leaped into the air with hazy silhouettes.

They continued to jump and attack Fang Yuan aggressively.

If it was like before, Fang Yuan would retreat without hesitation. But now, he was standing on the spot with a cold expression, still like a rock.

The stone monkeys slammed, clawed, and bit into Fang Yuan's body, but crisp 'ding ding' sounds rang out, as if they were not attacking someone, but solid jade pillars.

A bright white jade light covered the area as it clung onto Fang Yuan's body. This light, although thinner than the jade-green light Jade Skin Gu, it had more than twice the defensive power.

Jade Skin Gu's defense could only handle up to sixteen monkey simultaneous attacks, but now Fang Yuan could face over thirty monkeys alone.

“In the arena, I could break Fang Zheng's Jade Skin Gu's defense with my fist, but if Fang Zheng were to use this White Jade Gu, even if my wrist bone was broken, I won't be able to break through his defenses.”

Fang Yuan pondered as he turned some of his thoughts to the sea of openings.

In the red steel primeval sea, White Jade Gu sank to the bottom of the sea, constantly absorbing the primordial essence. Its surface also emitted a faint white jade light, like a light bulb.

Every time the stone monkey attacked Fang Yuan, the surface of White Jade Gu that resembled an oval pebble would faintly blink.

At the same time, Fang Yuan could feel traces of his ancient essence being expelled.

“Defense White Jade Gu is the same type as Jade Skin Gu, both of them require a continuous source of primordial essence. At the same time, the greater the intensity of the attacks, the more ancient essences were released. ” Fang Yuan concluded in his heart.

At the same time, he counterattacked.

Blows and kicks trigger sandstorms. His attacks were simple, yet brutal and effective with an imposing aura.

Even though Gu White Pig had left, the power he had given Fang Yuan was still in his body.

The endless monkey was struck by Fang Yuan. Some were kicked, knocking on stone pillars; some were killed in the air, turned into stone and shattered into pieces when they landed on the ground.

At the same time, with a flick of his wrist, Fang Yuan sent the moon blade flying to and fro, like a reaper scythe, harvesting the life of a stone monkey.

With the supply of the primordial essence of red steel, Rank one Moonlight Gu could cause the greatest attack damage to the monkey with each blow.

Squeaking squeaking…

The stone monkey shouted in fear, retreating.

Fang Yuan had exterminated the stone monkey in a short counterattack, with only five or six remaining.

Fang Yuan killed the others, and the remaining stone monkeys broke down, frantically running around and fleeing deep into the stone forest.

Fang Yuan did not pursue this escape, but continued advancing deeper into the stone forest.

These days, he had worked hard to find the next clue to the inheritance. With continuous exploration, he had set foot in most areas around the stone forest, but found nothing.

He had a premonition, vaguely guessing the idea of the Flower Wine Monk. He felt that the next step of inheritance was likely related to the most central area of the stone forest.

The deeper he went into the forest, the larger the stone pillar was, and the more stone apes lived within it.

Fang Yuan walked while observing — in the middle of the stone forest, there was a huge stone pillar. The circle was wider than the dozens of men surrounding him and trying to hug him.

This stone pillar was his goal.

But, the deeper he is, the bigger the monkey gang, and the higher the difficulty.

Fang Yuan took an important step and entered the alert zone of the group of monkeys.

Squeaking squeaking!

The black cave on the stone pillar had appeared an enraged jade-eyed ape, and up to a hundred leaped towards Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ran for his life.

Against so many apes, even with the White Jade Gu, he could not slaughter them.

The stone monkeys chased Fang Yuan for a while, then some started to leave the chase and turned around, returning to their caves. Finally, only about thirty monkeys followed Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan saw the timing was right, turned around and fought.

After one round of battle, the last few monkeys ran and fled, not even daring to return to the original cave.

After several rounds, Fang Yuan killed over a hundred stone monkeys. On the street there were traces of stone fragments from the corpses of stone apes.

"Prime essence is not enough." Fang Yuan inspected the ancient sea and sighed, forced to stop in his tracks.

If before, he would have used an ancient stone to recover quickly, but now, after merging the White Jade Gu, he was lacking an ancient stone, or rather his entire finances were on the verge of collapse.

Fang Yuan took out a jade eyeball and stuffed it into his bag.

“It should be at the bottom of the middle of the stone pillar. But to get there, I have to open the way.” This feeling grew stronger, Fang Yuan gave a final glance before opening the stone door and returning to the second secret room.

In the corner of the hidden room, there were some items.

The jade pearls collided with each other, emitting a sharp sound.

There's another bag, and the boar fangs are in it. But now Fang Yuan no longer needed to slaughter the boar.

He used the White Pig Gu and Jade Skin Gu to refine the White Jade Gu. White Boar Gu had disappeared, and reduced his need for pork to 0.

The new White Jade Gu was more like the Jade Skin Gu, he ate the jade.

Jade Skin Gu needed two jade burrows every ten days. While White Jade Gu needed eight jade burrows every twenty days.

Usually, the higher the rank, the longer the interval for each meal. Rank two Gu usually feeds every half month, while rank three Gu feeds every month, or longer.

Of course, the higher ranked Gu also consumed more food. On average, White Jade Gu consumed more costs than Jade Skin Gu and White Boar Gu combined.

But to Fang Yuan, he had this stone forest and no shortage of jade. At the same time he did not need a pig, so he did not need to kill a boar, so this saved him from a lot of trouble and a lot of time.

Binding the small bag, Fang Yuan picked up the water sack of bull skin.

Inside the water sack, there was a golden honey wine inside. A few days ago, Fang Yuan relied on Gu Jade Skin and resisted the attacks of bees, and collected enough honey wine.

"I only have two and a half ancient stones left, it is time to go to the internal affairs hall and hand over the mission."

Fang Yuan stored the water sack well and returned to the tunnel, exiting the rock crevice and returning to the outside world.

It was sunset.

Golden sunsets in winter are actually not cold, the weather is sunny and sunny. The setting sun appeared with a comfortable glow of red-orange color, the beautiful sunlight passed through the crown of pine trees and illuminated the mountain floor.

Walking alone, he headed to the village.

However Fang Yuan did not go straight away, but took several reroutes to prevent rock cracks from being found.

The winter wind blew on his face, this was the scent of freedom.

Back at the academy, he could only sneak out at night. Now that he was ranked second, he could move freely during the day without suspicion.

More importantly, the death of the sickly snake and the others allowed Fang Yuan to move on his own with less restraint.

The only thing was, Fang Yuan was now alone without any members of the support group. The following clan missions that happened every month, he had to complete at least one, and it would be difficult.

Now, after the horde of small beasts, all the groups had regrouped. Fang Yuan had missed the opportunity.

Due to his reputation, Fang Yuan was also ostracized by Master Gu. Joining a small group will not be easy.

“So what if I am left behind, the more I drift on the brink, the less attention I get, and the more profitable it is for me. As for the clan's mission, it's mandatory so I have to take it. But…."

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes shone with a cold light, he already had a plan.

The clan mandated that every Gu Master should accept missions every month, but not force them to complete them.

Not being able to complete the mission would result in a falling evaluation. This was something that Master Gu did not want to see, so they did everything to complete the mission.

But to Fang Yuan, this evaluation was nonsense!

Walking into the village, there was an endless stream of people walking along the limestone road of the road.

At this time, it is usually the peak period.

Many Master Gu completed their missions with injuries and the others, returned to the village. After working for a day, the farmers dragged their muddy legs and tired bodies, walking quietly.

In this world, life is not easy, full of pain and suffering.

The setting sun slowly descended under the mountain peak, giving the last ray of warm light. This light would be muted by the withered tree branches that crossed unevenly, becoming fragments of time scattered on the green jade walls of the bamboo house.

"Oh no, my toy," shouted one girl, chasing after her boss who was spinning among the crowd.

The spinning top rolled to Fang Yuan's feet, and the girl also hit Fang Yuan's feet, falling to the ground.

"Sorry sorry! To the offending Master Gu, please forgive us!” The little girl's father rushed over. When he looked at Fang Yuan's clothes, his expression was as white as paper, carrying the little girl and kneeling down, kowtowing to Fang Yuan.

The girl cried out in shock, tears streaming down her white and reddish face.

The humans walked after seeing this scene, turned around and avoided them like a plague.

Some Master Gu stared coldly, before turning around and leaving.

"Stop crying, you troublemaker!" The father was frightened, angry and scared, moving his hand to slap him, but Fang Yuan grabbed his hand, not allowing any movement.

"Some small problem, don't worry." Fang Yuan laughed lightly, touching the little girl's head, comforting gently, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

The girl stopped crying, using her teary eyes to look at Fang Yuan, thinking that this big brother was very gentle.

"Thank you, sir, thank you for your kindness!" The girl's father was overjoyed, prostrating to Fang Yuan without rest.

Fang Yuan continued forward.

The rented house is not far away.

And on the ground floor of the bamboo house, his uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu stood up, staring at Fang Yuan who was still far away, clearly waiting for him.
