Chapter 107: Skillfully obtaining ancient stones, ill-intentioned customers come to destroy the calamity

The cold snow ended, and the spring wind replaced it.

Unwittingly, winter had passed, and the days of spring had arrived.

The frozen mountain river started flowing again. The ice cone under the roof of the bamboo building and the trees were sparkling and translucent, dripping water in the sun.

In the morning, the wine shop was quite empty, not many drinkers.

Fang Yuan sat inside in a chair by the window. According to his request, his surroundings were covered by a wooden plank screen, creating a small room for him.

A gust of wind blew from the window, and the fresh and fragrant scent of the earth was sandwiched between the air, making the person who smelled it feel carefree and happy.

Jiang Ya sat across from Fang Yuan, her face full of smiles.

"This is an ancient stone this time, please confirm." He took out four bags of money, placed them on the table and pushed them towards Fang Yuan.

What was inside that money bag was naturally an ancient stone.

Fang Yuan did not open them one by one, but checked the weight by holding it in his hand.

He had over a hundred years of experience making deals and transactions, so he could easily figure out the number of ancient stones in his hands. Less than one and he could tell right away.

Nothing special, to be honest.

On Earth, there was an oil salesman who put a coin on the neck of a bottle and drip oil into it, where the oil was dripping in rows and into the bottle through a small hole without a spill. There was another divine shooter who could shoot the tree leaves with 100% accuracy from a distance of a hundred meters. There was also a butcher who worked for many years, using his hands to check his weight, he could tell the weight exactly and when weighed, exactly as he said.

How do I practice such skills?

There is nothing but 'practice to be perfect'!

The accumulation of experiences, when sufficient, can awaken miracles.

After his rebirth, this kind of experience naturally carried over as well. Fang Yuan used his hands to check, and as he did not find any problems, he then took out a small cloth bag and gave it to Jiang Ya.

Jiang Ya received it with both hands and opened her bag, checking the amount carefully.

Although Fang Yuan had nine leaves of vitality, he did not plan to sell them himself. If it was Gu Yue Dong Tu, he would rather do this to maintain his social relations and increase his influence.

But Fang Yuan was reluctant to do this. It wastes too much time and effort. Therefore, he sold everything to Jiang Ya who was the shop owner, so that Jiang Ya could sell Gu rank one healing grass to the clan members.

Jiang Ya was Jiang He's brother, and when Fang Yuan was looking for the Liquor worm, they met before. His brother had even mated half of Fang Yuan's alliance, so, asking him to take over the transaction and sell to the clan, was a reliable method.

“One, two, three. Indeed, it was the nine leaves of vitality. ” Jiang Ya count three times before closing the bag and carefully keep the bag close to her body.

Next, he raised his cup, toast to Fang Yuan. "Mr Fang Yuan, happy to do business with you, let me toast to you!"

His gaze toward Fang Yuan carried deep admiration, even turning into a hint of jealousy.

A year ago, it was spring. The first time he met Fang Yuan, the latter was still a student in the academy, not even having the right to wear Master Gu's battle attire.

But now, not only was Fang Yuan wearing battle clothes, his belt was also red in color, and a piece of square steel in the middle of the — Master Gu rank two belt!

However, he himself was still rank one, carrying a green-colored belt.

No matter that, what made him jealous was, after obtaining the inheritance, Fang Yuan went from being a poor person to a conglomerate.

He owns a wine shop, a bamboo building, as well as a nine-leaf vitality grass. It was all a fortune that Jiang Ya would never be able to obtain in her entire life!

But, Jiang Ya did not dare to show any deep jealous emotions.

Fang Yuan sold the vitality leaves to him and let him get the price difference. Fang Yuan was already his money tree, and Jiang Ya no longer dared to offend this junior.

“Huh, comparing among those people is disgusting ...” Jiang Ya held onto her cup. His face was full of smiles, but in his heart, he sighed deeply.

Fang Yuan lifted his cup and drank it in one gulp.

Jiang Ya's expression though closed, with Fang Yuan's old fox intelligence, how could she not know?

Fang Yuan did not put his heart into it, because if Jiang Ya was not jealous, it showed that he had a much bigger heart, and it would make Fang Yuan think more about it.

But, he stared at Fang Yuan's small fortune and was jealous, this showed how small his world was, insignificant. Drink with him solely because he still has value to exploit.

Jiang Ya put down her cup, excitedly saying, “The clan vitality maid sells for fifty-five primeval stones per piece. I follow your instructions and only sell our Grass Gu for fifty ancient stones, and the demand is incredible! Lord, why don't you make more leaves every day, that way we can get more!”

Fang Yuan listened and slowly shook his head, rejecting vehemently, "No, making nine leaves is already my limit, it has already wasted a lot of my cultivation time."

This was the difference between Fang Yuan and an ordinary frog like Jiang Ya.

In Fang Yuan's perspective, ancient stones were only cultivation resources, tools. It's all for his cultivation needs. However, Jiang Ya treated the ancient stone as her life purpose, so she cultivated to obtain more ancient stones.

But even if Fang Yuan only made nine leaves a day, he could obtain four hundred ancient stones every day, and with the accumulation, the wealth in his hands also grew to an incredible level.

"Indeed." He exclaimed, “God has such great wealth, you don't have to waste time and effort every day. In my opinion, why should you stay in that poor old rented flat? Why don't you empty the bamboo building and live there yourself. Then marry a beautiful wife, and have seven or eight family servants to take care of you. It really is a dream life. Hehe."

Fang Yuan laughed lightly, not saying anything.

How could a peasant understand the ambition of a conqueror!

He turned around, looking out the window.

House by house, the bamboo roof had the rest of the snow, bathing under the bright and beautiful spring light. Far away there was a willow tree, the branches of soft yellow-green leaves rolling around, swaying gently in the gentle spring breeze.

Fang Yuan's gaze was slightly blank as he thought about his current predicament.

After resolving Fang Zheng's matter, the family's assets could be said to be in the bag.

White Jade Gu and Moonglow Gu were successfully refined, he was now covering up the attack and defense. What happened next was the Liquor worm.

But the Liquor worm is troublesome. To purify the Four Flavor Liquor worm, he needs a second Liquor worm, as well as sweet, sour, bitter and spicy — four types of grapes. These things, he doesn't know where to go.

“I definitely have to fix the Liquor worm. Without it, my progress would be slower by at least half. But in order to repair the Four Flavor Liquor worm, I had to wait for the caravan and borrow that opportunity to show off my White Jade Gu. That way, I can show off my true fighting strength and stop hiding my abilities.”

Fang Yuan had Moonglow Gu and White Jade Gu. Together with his five hundred years of combat experience, he was stronger than most second rank Master Gu.

The leader of the slightly famous group like sickly snake Jiao San, if fighting one-on-one with Fang Yuan, might not be his match.

But against Chi Shan, Mo Yan and Qing Shu, Fang Yuan was still weaker.

One of them was an insufficient cultivation level, Fang Yuan was only an early stage Rank two, but they were at the top or even the peak stage. Next was the lack of a strong Gu worm. Fang Yuan only had two battle Gu worms, but they all had at least three and even hidden trump cards.

Among the same age group, Fang Zheng, Mo Bei and Chi Cheng had already shown their dominance, no doubt.

Especially Fang Zheng, now that he had obtained Raiment Moon Rank two, he already had the ability to fight with Fang Yuan. As time went on, his cultivation level would get higher and he would eventually leave Fang Yuan in the dust.

Unless Fang Yuan could combine the Four Flavors Liquor worm and maintain the same cultivation speed as Fang Zheng.

As for the higher ranks, rank three or rank four Master Gu.

For Fang Yuan, putting aside the results of the battle, even maintaining his life was a difficult matter, not to mention challenging a higher rank.

Going beyond the rank was extremely difficult, one of them was that Fang Yuan had no trump cards, and the two he had no talent. Even with her rich fighting experience, a woman could not cook without rice, without the powerful Gu worm, her experience could not show its value.

“If I manage to combine the Four Flavor Liquor worm, my cultivation speed will be satisfactory. But I also have to refill my Gu worm. My defense has the White Jade Gu, my offense has Gu Moonglow, healing I have a nine-leaf vitality grass, but I need a movement and reconnaissance type Gu, both though a support type, both of which are, they can cover up my weaknesses and at least double my fighting strength!” Fang Yuan pondered.

He did not need to learn step by step, with his rich life experience, he already knew the direction to take.

Beside him, Jiang Ya's voice came, “I heard, recently someone found a problem with you, Sir? Deliberately found a problem in your bamboo building and winery?”

Fang Yuan frowned, his mind shattered.

But Jiang Ya was right.

Fang Yuan had investigated, this was the action of his uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu.

After Gu Yue Qing Shu warned her uncle, she did not dare to use Fang Zheng to cause trouble again. But after waiting for a while, the anger and rage in his heart increased, and using his relationship, he obtained some Master Gu to find trouble in Fang Yuan's place.

People who do business hate this kind of problem.

So, recently, he had found the time to guard the location.

"Owner, someone found trouble again." At this moment, an attendant carried a terrified expression and walked towards Fang Yuan.

"Oh?" Fang Yuan's eyebrows shot up, not expecting to see this soon.

Not waiting for Fang Yuan to react, Jiang Ya suddenly stood up, excitedly saying, "Wait a minute sir, let me go take a look."

He walked out of the partition and immediately returned.

"That's Gu Yue Man Shi!" Jiang Ya's expression was pale, suppressing her voice. His gaze revealed shock and worry.

Gu Yue Man Shi?

Fang Yuan did many things carefully and knew the importance of information. During this period, he had obtained information from all the second rank Gu Masters in the clan, and recalled most of them.

Gu Yue Man Shi was a slightly famous Master Gu, specialized in defense and possessed great strength, becoming the leader of the Man Shi group. In terms of fame, he was slightly taller than Jiao San.

Bam!

The sound of explosions came from outside.

After which, a rude and arrogant voice sounded, “Blah, what kind of wine is this? It feels like crap, you dare to sell this to me? ”

“Hmph!” Fang Yuan's gaze shone with a cold light as he stood up.
