Chapter 109: The tree house hides the Liquor worm
Gu Yue Man Shi was defeated by the novice Fang Yuan!
The news spread quickly and caused a small wave of gossip among Rank two Master Gu.
Everyone is familiar with the two main characters of the show.
Man Shi was a slightly famous second rank Master Gu who managed to escape with his life under Bai Ningbing's hands; he was not to sniff.
And Fang Yuan was the champion of the year, many had watched him beat Fang Zheng at the annual assessment. He also obtained his family legacy and became rich overnight, causing many people to go green with envy.
The gap between the two was clear, but contrary to all expectations, the weaker Fang Yuan had defeated the stronger Man Shi. Such a difference really surprised people.
As more and more people continued to discuss the event, Fang Yuan's fame also increased.
Rank two Master Gu began to take this young junior seriously.
“He immediately attacked without saying a word. Young people are too impulsive.”
"He has wealth and also purifies Moonglow Gu, he has some ability."
“He's a madman, he's too hard. Reportedly, Gu Yue Man Shi had to lie in bed for at least three days to recover from his injuries!”
People commented on Fang Yuan.
He had made a surprise attack on Man Shi, starting first; inflicting serious injuries on the first strike and establishing great dominance. It felt like he didn't win honestly.
However, victory is victory and defeat is defeat.
The result is everything.
Perhaps on Earth, most would emphasize process over outcome, but in this world where survival is difficult, an environment fraught with deadly dangers, would be difficult, victory often means survival and defeat means death, losing everything.
Winners get everything, losers lose everything; almost everyone agrees to this idea.
Fang Yuan had won; it was a fact, no matter how he did it.
A novice sprung up by stepping on Man Shi, entering into everyone's eyes.
Man Shi had become a stepping stone, his reputation ruined. After he recovers, he will resign from the position of group leader.
It is the result of a failure.
Close relatives will sympathize with the losers, but they are more respectful and acknowledge winners. The winner represents strength and strength means better security for the people.
After this incident, Gu Yue Dong Tu wisely stopped his dirty tricks.
Gu Yue Man Shi resigned finally making the shrewd uncle realize reality. Fang Yuan's growth made him feel helpless, vengeful, and angry.
He knew he now had no chance of seizing the inheritance. Continuing means nothing.
He had used his connections and hired someone else to look for trouble for Fang Yuan; this depleted his ancient stones. Yet Fang Yuan profited from all sides.
If the stalemate continued, even if he had a large number of ancient stones, the final loser would definitely be him, himself.
Since he lost the bamboo house, the vineyard, and the Nine Leaf Vitality Grass, he now had no source of income; the ancient stones used would be difficult to refill. On the contrary, Fang Yuan did not have any ancient stones but was increasing day by day.
The main point was that Gu Yue Dong Tu desperately realized that a dead end would be of no benefit.
Thus, when he heard Man Shi running away in defeat, he immediately stopped this meaningless act.
In fact, when Fang Zheng could not create trouble for Fang Yuan, it already signified Gu Yue Dong Tu's defeat.
With this, Fang Yuan's wine shop business returned to normal, which was a joyous thing.
There is another encouraging thing — caravans will come early.
Lineup.
Under the bright and beautiful spring sunshine, the light singing of the spring days stomps a lively and cheerful rhythm upon arrival.
With the warmth of spring, the flowers bloom and the grass grows wild.
Mount Qing Mao was a green sight as far as the eye could see. Wildflowers bloomed on the sunny side of the hills, forming a sea of colorful and beautiful flowers. The gurgling and bubbling river surged like flames and was entangled by the sunlight.
The newborn dragonpill crickets come out of their eggs and form a new herd, enlivening the night.
During the day, a large flock of colorful peacock parrots hovered in the air, chirping and chirping.
The warm spring spread its goodness and kindness, allowing all living things to grow brilliantly.
In such a scene, a caravan slowly headed towards Qing Mao Mountain.
The fat black beetles slowly moved forward, their backs filled with people and goods.
An ostrich proud of its brightly colored feathers was pulling a hand carriage. The feathered mountain spider ignored the terrain, the winged snake twisted and swerved forward, occasionally opening its wings and flying forward.
A Treasure Brass Frog was leading the caravan. It was two and a half meters tall, its entire body was orange-yellow. On his back was Teacher Gu Rank four, Jia Fu.
After the caravan was placed in the village, Fang Yuan sighed inwardly, “It changed again. In my previous memory, this caravan should have arrived in the summer. According to the previous precedent as well, the caravan should only come in the summer. Now, however, it had come in the spring, two-three months earlier. And the scale is also much larger.”
The root cause should be because he killed Jia Jin Sheng.
Fang Yuan had deceived everyone, so Jia Fu mistakenly believed that Jia Jin Sheng's death was a conspiracy by his rival, Jia Gui.
After Jia Fu returned to the clan, he had taken a radical step that made the competition between them even more intense.
In order to fight for the extraordinary achievement, the Jia brothers rushed out even before the snow of the year was completely melted away, leading the caravan to peddle their goods everywhere.
Clan leader Gu Yue Bo accepted Jia Fu.
The two Rank Gu Masters were the leaders of both sides.
"Brother Gu Yue, I believe you are alright?" Jia Fu was full of smiles and warmth, but his face had a long scar now.
"Hahaha, brother Jia Fu, you are quite early this year." Gu Yue Bo looked at the scar on Jia Fu's face. His heart flinched but he did not ask.
“Initial birds get worms. This time, I have brought a lot of precious items and I believe the Gu Yue noble clan will have a lot of needs.” Jia Fu had made a great effort this time to fight for a better achievement.
“Ya, this is good news.” Gu Yue Bo's eyes blinked. Continuing, "It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the Resurrection Ceremony of our clan, and I would like to invite brother Jia to attend it."
“Haha, it is an honor for me to be able to witness the prosperity of the Gu Yue clan,” Jia Fu immediately cupped his hands and replied sincerely.
Inviting others to watch the clan awakening ceremony treated them as honored guests. Jia Fu could feel the sincerity of the Gu Yue clan from this invitation.
"In fact, there are other problems as well." Jia Fu hesitated.
“You came from far away, so if you have a request, please say. Our clan will definitely do its best to fulfill it.” Gu Yue Bo said.
Jia Fu sighed, “Ah, it's about the matter of Jia Jin Sheng. I have specially brought in some investigative experts from the clan, and I hope that during our investigation, you can give us some conveniences. ”
Gu Yue Bo immediately revealed an understanding expression.
Apparently, Jia Jin Sheng's death had caused Jia Fu to fall into an awkward and passive situation in the competition for family assets. It was said that after returning to the clan, Jia Fu had fought with Jia Gui in public and the situation had erupted into an intense brawl. The scars on his face could be the scars from that fight.
No wonder he came running in early spring; he had a lot of pressure on his shoulders.
Fang Yuan was strolling around the tents and street stalls.
The scale of this year's caravan is much larger than in previous years. Not only were there more tents, there was also Gu's house.
Gu House was something that only large-scale caravans had. Large-scale caravans usually have two to three Gu houses. The Jia Fu Caravan was at most medium-scale, but it had a Gu home.
This Gu House is a big tree.
It was eighteen meters tall and seemed to have completely reached the sky. Its roots and branches were twisted like tangles of dragons and snakes.
The diameter of the rod at the base is ten meters; it decreases as it rises but its descent is not very visible. The brown stem is not actually a single unit, and has three layers of space inside.
There is also a window in the trunk. Sunlight and fresh air passed through the window and entered the three layers of space inside.
The twigs and leaves appear rare on the stem. Only at the top of the tree was it green and lush. The spring breeze blew, and the leaves of the trees trembled and created a soft rustling sound.
This is the most common type of Gu house.
Gu's third-ranked plant was named 'three-star cave'.
It could instantly grow once an ancient essence was poured into it. There were three rooms arranged in these three layers of space. The defensive power of these rooms was incomparable to a tent.
In the tents that continued to stretch, a huge tree stood high in the middle like a tower; it was like a stork among a flock of chickens.
At the base of that huge tree, there were two wide doors that were used as the entrance.
Fang Yuan followed the flow of people and walked up to the big tree.
The tree had three layers of space that were converted into a store layout. There was a row of counters inside and on it displayed all kinds of Gu worms.
These counters are made of wood and are part of a large tree. On top of the growing green leaves and branches, the three-star Gu cave tree could cultivate different designs according to Master Gu's will.
In addition to this counter, there are benches and benches for customers to rest on.
The support of the rank three Gu Master was constantly operating and monitoring the situation from somewhere on this huge tree.
If one were to pick up the Gu worm at the counter, the monitoring Master Gu could operate the large tree to immediately close the door and create a prison cell for a moment. Countless branches would grow wild and carry out group attacks. At the same time, the Gu Master of security in the tree would also move.
Tree houses are much safer than tents so the items sold in them are more valuable.
Fang Yuan had just entered the first layer when he saw the single counter in the middle and on top of it was the Liquor worm.
Many Master Gu besieged this Liquor worm, judging it. Some clicked their tongues in admiration.
Fang Yuan swept his gaze over the place, where the other counters also displayed many precious Gu worms.
There were Jade Leather Gu, Quail Wind Gu, Scar Stone Gu, and so on.
All of these Gu worms are compatible with the Moonlight gu and can merge into the higher ranked Gu worm.
Jia Fu did not fully understand this fusion recipe, but with his years of business experience, he knew which Gu worm the Gu Yue clan might need more.
“Of course, the Jia Fu caravan did not only target Gu Yue village, he really put in a lot of effort this time. It seemed like he was completely provoked when he returned to the clan. ” Fang Yuan's heart was moved when he saw this.
