Chapter 42: This is really Gu ?!

“Eh?”

"Don't tell me it's another rock on the rock."

“From the looks of it, maybe. But rather strangely, this mud ball was covered by the surface of the purple gold-colored stone. The surface of the mud ball must be compressed smoothly, so why is the surface still uneven?” Master Gu around him was confused.

Looking at the mud ball in his hand, Fang Yuan's expression did not change, but in his heart he was slightly moved.

He keeps grinding. Under the watery blue light, fine sand fell down. Amongst the powder, there were some earth crumbs mixed in it, falling onto the pile of stone powder beside his feet.

"Don't tell me there really is something ?!" Upon seeing this, some Master Gu stared with his eyes wide open.

"It's hard to say," someone spoke in an uncertain tone.

"I feel like there is, there really is something." The others spoke softly.

The yellow mud ball gradually reduced in size due to friction, and when it was the size of a palm, someone barged into the tent. “Young, hold. I, Jia Jin Sheng, will buy it!”

Fang Yuan's movements came to a halt, all at once, the Master Gu in the tent all focused their attention on this person.

He looked young on the outside, his appearance was around twenty to twenty-five years old. He was wearing a gold-colored robe with a lace belt on his waist, and on the belt was a square-shaped piece of jade. There was a word across from the jade piece, indicating the letter "One".

Clearly, this was Master Gu Rank one.

To remain a rank one Master Gu at the age of twenty, it seemed that his talent was not good.

But this person's status was rather unique. Seeing him, Master Gu in the tent all bowed and greeted him, saying together, "Your subordinates greet you, second young master."

"Second young master?"

“He called himself Jia Jin Sheng before, is he the half-brother of Merchant Caravan Leader, Jia Fu.

“That means, this stone gambling den was opened by him. But now that he seemed to be interfering, it seemed like he was breaking the rules of the gambling den, "Gu Masters spoke softly.

“That's right, I'm the keeper of this store. Little brother (1), out to gamble at such a young age, aren't you afraid of your family's nagging? I'll offer you forty ancient stones now to buy that mud ball in your hands. Whaddya think? Forty ancient stones were already numerous and there might not be any Gu in them, but today I am in a good mood. So seeing that this is your first time gambling, I don't want you to lose everything, so I'll refund some of your capital.” Jia Jin Sheng quickly walked in front of Fang Yuan and said.

"Fourty ancient stones?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Jia Jin Sheng with the corner of his eyes, laughing coldly, “It seems that you want to forcefully buy the fossil of my mud ball? Forced purchases undermine gambling rules. Furthermore You are now at Qing Mao Mountain, you want to bully a Gu Yue clan like me in front of everyone? “

"Oh?" Hearing Fang Yuan's last sentence, all the other Gu Masters could not accept it and the hostility grew uncontrollably within them as they looked toward Fang Yuan. Their expressions towards Jia Jin Sheng also became unfriendly.

Jia Jin Sheng thought a fifteen-year-old like Fang Yuan would be easy to deal with, easily persuaded by a few words. But to think that this Fang Yuan possessed such an ability, and with a single sentence, he caused Jia Jin Sheng to be in such trouble.

Seeing the Gu Masters getting ready to interfere, Jia Jin Sheng's expression immediately changed as he changed his tone, quickly waving his hand, “Sister, you are wrong! I am the keeper of this gambling den shop, how can I ruin my own reputation by breaking my own rules? How can I run a business in the future? Hehe. I've just found your mudball a little interesting, so I'd like to buy it. If you don't want to sell it, that's okay. But if there's nothing inside later, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

Fang Yuan did not pay attention to him anymore. He turned around and continued to focus on grinding the mud ball in his hand.

His movements were very slow and meticulous. Often, there is only a small amount of dry ground powder that falls off after a while. Following his movements, the Gu worm hibernated

it gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Oh my God, there really are Gu worms!"

"He really opened Gu!"

"What the hell, this kind of gambling method can also work?"

"This young man's luck is off the charts, he actually managed to forcefully get lucky to get Gu."

Immediately, the vexation of Master Gu filled the tent.

The female Master Gu involuntarily closed her mouth, unable to believe the scene in front of her.

As a shop clerk, along the way he had gone to many mountain villages, seeing all sorts of people and all kinds of customers, but he had never seen such a comedy scene.

"There really is a Gu!" A cold light flashed in Jia Jin Sheng's eyes as he despised and regretted in his heart. The thing he hated the most, was being used.

This gambling den that he opened, he had put in place many methods of surveillance. Once a customer would open Gu, he would receive the news and would usually buy it by force.

But now that Fang Yuan was inside his gambling den, getting a Gu under his eyes. Jia Jin Sheng could feel his heart bleed.

What he got, was the frog Gu.

Its entire body was yellow from head to toe. His stomach is light yellow, and his back is brownish yellow, overgrown with many acne boils, full of nodules and warts that are characteristic of frog species. At first glance, it looked a little horrible.

Fang Yuan's expression was calm under all sorts of admiration, jealousy, and aggravation, carefully spreading the primordial essence and injecting it into the frog's body.

At this moment, Gu was being refined by Fang Yuan.

Gu worms obtained from inside fossils are usually very weak. Not only did they have little or no strength left, their consciousness was also lazy, rendering them helpless and unable to resist. Thus, they could be easily refined by the Gu masters.

After being awakened by Fang Yuan, the frog Gu opened his eyes slowly, and his stomach trembled slightly, calling out gently.

Caw.

His voice was gentle but it made everyone's expression very attractive.

The difference in value between the living Gu and the dead was huge.

"It's a live Gu, he really opened a live Gu!!" Someone rubbed his eyes, not believing this.

"It's a Mud Skin Frog, damn it, it's really a Mud Skin Frog!" Someone recognized the identity of the frog Gu and shouted uneasily.

"This young man is really lucky, why don't I have such luck on my side!" One sighed, filled with complicated emotions like envy, envy and hate.

“Young master, congratulations! This, this, this until this moment, is the first time I have seen such a precious Gu worm!” The female Master Gu was shocked speechlessly, her eyes glittering with life.

“This is actually a Mud Skin Toad! This was a rare second-rate Gu worm, worth five hundred ancient stones. Damn, damn. Someone actually managed to open the Gu worm in my shop. I have lost a lot of time, big time!” Jia Jin Sheng's face was pale as he stared at the dagger on the frog, his heart had a strong desire to snatch Gu.

But he knew he couldn't, because if he really did that, it would cause trouble.

This was not his family's village, but the territory of the Gu Yue clan.

“Maybe I should have paid less for the ancient stone, maybe he gave it to me. That's right, he's just a student. If I were to offer him a hundred ancient stones, there is no way he would not be moved. Why don't I do it?” Jia Jin Sheng was full of regrets.

“No, maybe this young man doesn't know his stuff. Even though he opened the Mud Skin Toad, I should have been able to suppress the price and buy it!” Jia Jin Sheng's heart has renewed hope.

But in the next moment, this hint of hope was mercilessly crushed by Fang Yuan's words.

Fang Yuan clearly saw the Mud Skin Toad in his hand, ignoring the praise and shock of the people around him.

He used a very calm tone and said to Jia Jin Sheng, “Katak Leather Mud, the second rank Gu worm, requires five hundred grams of yellow soil at every meal, the more fertile the soil the better. The species are few in number and are the main Gu required in refining the Treasure Brass Toad. The market price was five hundred ancient stones. Jia Jin Sheng, do you want to buy this?”

“You, actually know very clearly...” murmured Jia Jin Sheng. After such shock, he could not say a word.

Fang Yuan laughed lightly and continued, “If you don't want to, it's fine. I'll sell it to someone else, I'm sure someone will be interested.”

"Wait, wait, I will buy it, I will buy it. But can't this price be cheaper?” Jia Jin Sheng's smile turned bitter.

Fang Yuan turned around and walked away.

Jia Jin Sheng hurriedly chased after him. “Do not! Don't leave! I'll buy it, I'll buy it!"

Fang Yuan had no plans to nurture this Mud Skin Toad.

It was Gu Rank two, but Fang Yuan was still an early stage Rank one. Despite eating the yellow soil, Qing Mao Mountain was full of green land, hence searching for food for it would be troublesome.

Moreover, if he did not sell these Gu worms, Fang Yuan would have to feed three Gu worms by himself. Putting aside the increased production of ancient stones, even the amount of ancient stones he currently possessed would not be enough to feed them.

So, Fang Yuan's plan was to immediately sell the Mud Skin Toad, get five hundred ancient stones and earn a lot of money.

For an early stage one ranker like Fang Yuan, five hundred ancient stones were already considered a large amount.

The transaction was completed quickly and Fang Yuan moved the Mud Skin Toad to Jia Jin Sheng in front of the crowd, at the same time receiving five bags of heavy money. Each bag had a hundred ancient stones.

Fang Yuan originally had ninety-eight primeval stones, and after spending sixty for gambling stones, he had thirty-eight left. Now, his wealth doubled, and he had five hundred and thirty-eight ancient stones.

Upon seeing this, many Gu masters became envious.

Fang Yuan placed the five bags on his chest before picking up the last piece of the purple gold fossil and walking out of the tent.

"Young master, you didn't open that fossil?" The female Master Gu blinked quickly and looked at Fang Yuan's back, loudly reminding him.

Fang Yuan did not heed and left the gambling den without turning around.

He left the group of Master Gu stunned, staring at each other in silence.

Jin Jia Sheng calling little brother Fang Yuan was the way to greet; they were not related in any way.
