Chapter 163: The Thunder of the Wolf Crown

As Fang Yuan looked at the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, many doubts in his heart were erased. He could roughly speculate on what had happened.

Back in time, a millennium ago.

A lone rank five Master Gu came to Qing Mao Mountain and coincidentally found this underground spirit spring.

He was very happy and settled here. He began to combine the mortal villagers living around the foot of the mountain together, forming a prototype of Gu Yue village.

He received over a hundred wives and concubines, recklessly spreading his bloodline.

He was the ancestor of the Gu Yue clan, the founder of Gu Yue village.

Time passed, and he died and ended the first generation, then the second, third generation until reaching the fourth generation.

The fourth generation clan leader had A-grade talent and cultivated to rank five, creating another golden age for the clan.

One day, the path of the demon Master Gu came to the village.

He was bald and muscular, wearing pink clothes and moving around alone; his favorite hobby was to defile innocent women. It was a famous demon from the demon path: Flower Wine Monk.

Who knew of this fortuitous encounter that the Flower Wine Monk had, to be able to figure out the recipe to purify the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. After much preparation, he simply lacked the natural spring water to purify this Gu flower.

After looking around, he finally chose the spirit spring of Gu Yue village.

At first, he used the pretense of buying a moon orchid to slowly approach the higher-ups of the Gu Yue clan and get details about the Gu Yue clan.

After that, in the battle with the fourth generation clan leader, he was able to achieve total victory with his overwhelming strength. He not only killed the head of the fourth generation, but also knocked down most of the elders. However, his body was infected by Moonshadow Gu.

Moonshadow Gu's ability was to restrict the primordial essence and was not fatal enough. However, the Flower Wine Monk could not recklessly slaughter if he wanted to refine the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, as it would attract a lot of attention and hinder progress. So, he chose to do something from the darkness.

He used the Thousand Li Earthwolf Spider to dig a tunnel, quietly advancing into this area. Due to the thorough preparation he had made earlier and with sufficient materials, he was able to refine the Heavenly Treasure Lotus in the spirit spring.

The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus had an incredible background. His fusion recipe had been created several millennia ago by Master Gu of the true faction: Immortal Venerable Genesis Lotus.

The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus was only rank three flower Gu, but it had a progression route and could become a Rank six Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, but it had a progression route and could become a rank six Heavenly Essence Treasure Imperial Lotus, who was ranked sixth among the Ten Great Gu Immortal ranking list. It was worth almost the same as the Spring Autumn Cicada!

The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus had a reputation as a portable spirit spring, as it could produce primordial stones.

However, the fusion process has a very high price.

In order to purify the Heavenly Treasure Lotus, there must be a natural spirit spring. This spring should be filled with primordial energy, and it cannot be a spirit spring that has been used for many years, with its reserves drying up.

Once the fusion was successful, these spirit springs would be completely useless and would lose their ability to produce primordial stones, becoming just ordinary springs.

Natural spirit springs are extremely precious. One only needed to see how this spirit spring had sustained the Master Gu of the countless Gu Yue clans for nearly a millennium to realize this.

Refining the Heavenly Lotus Treasure Chest would completely destroy this spirit spring. But that's just the beginning. If it wanted to advance to Rank four, it would require seven spirit springs, nine in Rank five, and eleven for Rank six!

In addition, many highly valuable Gu worms would be needed as additional materials.

“If I take this Heavenly Treasure Lotus, it will be like carrying a mini scale spirit spring. The Heavenly Treasure Lotus is only rank three Gu, so its daily primordial stone production cannot compare to normal spirits.spring, but the amount will be enough to sustain my cultivation production! ”

This is just one of the benefits.

The primordial stone produced by the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus was far more than the income from the Nine Leaves Vitality Grass.

Ancient stone not only helps advance the cultivation of – but is also a form of exchangeable currency.

With the treasure lotus, Fang Yuan could reduce the number of ancient stones he carried. Tusita flowers can then be used to store a wide variety of items that can greatly reduce its load.

“But …. I heard that the process of melting the treasure lotus was quite mysterious; it appeared out of nothing during the transit between astral and physical forms. Ordinary people could not see it, and it could only be seen clearly through the crystal. This gu is quite delicate and needs to be fed inside the spirit spring for nine days and nine nights until it grows nine leaves intact, before it can be picked and put into the ancient sea in the crevice. If one took it before the time came, all their efforts would be in vain. “

Fang Yuan did not know the detailed recipe of the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and was only aware of some insider rumors. He did not know how to advance it in the future.

Even so, this Rank three Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus would be of great help to him.

He looked outside the crystal wall and observed closely; surprisingly, the flower only had eight and a half damaged leaves. Only half the leaves remain for the nine intact leaves.

Fang Yuan was not confused by this.

Centuries had passed, the reserves of spirit springs had been consumed for four generations of time.

This Heavenly Treasure Lotus condensed most of the spirit spring essence, continuously eating the primordial stones produced by the spirit spring, and causing the reserves of the spirit spring to dwindle. As a result, the treasure lotus slowly began to reverse the absorption, instead replenishing the damage to the spirit spring. By doing this, it damages itself; this is the reason the leaf is damaged.

“The Heavenly Lotus Treasure must have nine complete leaves before it can be plucked. It now has only eight half-leaf leaves. I have to throw an ancient stone into the spring if I want to pluck it!”

The ancient stones were crystallization spirit springs, they could nourish the treasure lotus and let it grow back.

However, do not underestimate this half-broken leaf. It would definitely require a large amount of ancient stones in order to grow back!

“If I am not mistaken, this crystal wall must be produced by Moat Gu..” Fang Yuan tried to touch the wall, and discovered that this wall was real but also virtual, like light and shadow; his hand pierced through the wall without any obstruction.

The spirit spring should never be polluted.

He poured the primordial essence into the tusita flower and took out the ancient stone.

He threw an ancient stone through the crystal wall. As if the wall did not exist, an ancient stone passed through it and fell into the spirit spring, smashing into the ghostly figure of the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.

The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus transited between blue and white and began to tremble like water ripples. It digested the ancient stone in an instant.

After waiting for the flower to calm down, Fang Yuan observed it with ama, but found no changes to the damaged leaves.

Expressions calm. He started throwing dozens of ancient stones but there was still no change to the damaged leaves.

Fang Yuan continued to throw the ancient stone while counting the numbers in silence. When over five hundred ancient stones were thrown, the damaged leaves finally grew a little.

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little moody.

From this calculation, he would have to put in at least over fifty thousand ancient stones at a time.

If he did so in batches and a long pause, the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus would devour itself to replenish the spirit spring as the clan continued to extract the primordial stones.

“More than fifty thousand ancient stones .. I only have more than ten thousand with me and lack forty thousand more.”

With his status as an elder, raising these forty thousand ancient stones was not a problem.

The real problem, however, lies elsewhere. Once he took out this Heavenly Treasure Lotus, the spirit spring would be completely useless and this would definitely attract the investigation of the entire clan who were angry and panicked.

Fang Yuan had a lot of experience, but he had limited methods. If the clan investigated without any consideration, they would definitely find some clues. In fact, the clan higher ups were already suspicious of him, but their suspicions were temporarily suppressed by the wolf tide.

If the legacy of the Flower Wine Monk was revealed, Fang Yuan would definitely be the prime suspect.

Even if Fang Yuan were to secretly escape, he would suffer the reckless pursuit of the entire clan.

“I cannot give up on the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. Even if I don't have a fusion recipe, who knows what the future holds? The problem was that once I took this Gu, it was akin to stabbing a beehive and bringing havoc on myself. ”

Fang Yuan secretly considered every situation and decided he would have to wait for the best opportunity to appear, to take this Heavenly Treasure Lotus.

“This Heavenly Treasure Lotus Flower should be the last legacy of the Flower Wine Monk. But there were many suspicious things about this; the Flower Wine Monk would come to this place to refine the Heavenly Treasure Lotus Flower, so what kind of accident did he encounter get injured so badly that he had to hastily prepare this inheritance before dying? ”

Fang Yuan already knew the reason for the Flower Wine Monk to prepare the inheritance.

It was to take revenge against the Gu Yue clan.

If the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus were to be removed from the – spirit spring whether it was a success or a failure – these natural spirit springs would definitely be useless.

Without the natural spirit spring, the Gu Yue clan would have no basis to stay here. It was only a matter of time before the clan broke apart.

“Forget it, I will not make any progress in my doubt without new evidence. I have to go back to the village now.” In the end, Fang Yuan shook his head and began to return towards his arrival.

When he had just walked out of the stone crevice, the loud and clear howls of the wolf continued to echo.

“This voice!” Fang Yuan became grim and quickly moved.

When he reached the river bank outside the stone crevice, he could smell the thick smell of blood.

The sounds of screams, shouts, wolf howls and explosions could be heard even though the distance to the village was still quite far away.

Fang Yuan hid his figure and climbed the hill.

It was early in the morning and the first sunlight had just shot out from the sky.

Countless herds of wolves rushed towards Gu Yue village like a flood.

Fang Yuan's gaze swept over them, then his body trembled.

At the very back of the pack of wolves, he saw a lightning wolf that was as big as a small hill.

Countless ferocious beast kings: The Lightning Crown Wolf!

He was tall and slender, had strong limbs and his entire body was covered with fearsome blue scales. Golden wolf fur tufts are visible on its claws and tail.

The feathers on his head were all stiff and raised, forming a towering crown.

It was crouching on the ground and still like a statue. The frenetic lightning wolf and the daring lightning wolf around him constantly howled, showing his elegance and glory.

Just by sitting there, it had already brought great mental pressure to the Gu Yue clan.

“Countable beast kings have finally arrived, this is the defining moment for the survival of Gu Yue village!” Fang Yuan gazed towards the village; countless Gu Masters were in a fierce battle, using all their strength to block the frantic wolf wave attacks.

Suddenly, about ten figures flew out from the village and rushed against the wolf wave, charging towards the Thunder Crown Wolf.

They were all elders and in front of them was the clan leader Gu Yue Bo!
