Chapter 43: The sixth last purple golden stone
The ancient sea of green copper has tides up and down, tides and flows.
Above sea level, the Liquor worm curled up into a sphere, emitting grape vapors that gradually developed into a white mist.
Waves of primordial essence with "swoosh", rushed against the current and entered into the wine mist. When the tide is low, there is half left, and the color is getting darker. From the early green jade stage (1), it had turned into the middle pale green stage.
The middle-stage primeval essence fell into the sea, but did not mix with the early-stage primordial essence. As if denser, it sank to the bottom.
Thus, the situation became that the top layer of the primordial sea was filled with early stage primordial essence, while the bottom was middle stage primeval essence.
As time passed, a mist of wine circulated within the hole. Under the refinement of the Liquor worm, eventually, the early stage primeval essence continued to decline, while the middle stage primeval essence gradually increased.
It could be seen with the naked eye where the middle stage primordial essence of the lower layer gradually rose, while the initial stage primordial essence of the upper layer continued to decline, but also rose at sea level.
As Fang Yuan purified the primordial essence, he extracted the natural essence from the primordial stone at the same time, quickly replenishing the reduced primeval essence in his aperture.
Finally, the 45% primeval sea in its fissure was fully refined into a medium-level primordial essence.
"Many thanks to the middle-stage primeval essence, or I won't be able to open the stone five times in the gambling room." Sitting in a lotus position on his bed, Fang Yuan gradually opened his eyes.
It's late at night.
After he walked out of the gambling den, he did not wander around in the other shops, but returned to the academy.
Despite being on the outskirts of the Gu Yue Mountain Village, as a rank one early stage Gu master, having five hundred and thirty-eight ancient stones was still too much.
This was not just because the ancient stones were heavy and troublesome to carry around. It also attracted the desires of others; in another sense, it would endanger his life.
If there was a top rank one, or even a rank two who coveted his assets, with Fang Yuan's current abilities, he would not be able to compete.
“Wealth comes and goes, but man dies of wealth, it's sad. What is ridiculous is that many people in this world cannot understand it. Benefit boat brings many people, but also drowns many others.” Fang Yuan's lips curved into a cold grin as he looked at the gray-white primordial stone in his hand.
A complete ancient stone the size of a duck egg. But the stone in his hand, as it had been extracted from half of its essence, was an entire smaller circle.
Fang Yuan did not regret it.
Everything has its benefits and disadvantages. Fang Yuan was only a C-class talent, yet he used Liquor Gu to refine his ancient essence, and his ancient stone expenditure was several times that of people his age. But it was because of this that he was able to overcome his lack of talent. If his actual cultivation speed could be calculated, he would be able to rank the first three.
Fang Yuan put the ancient stones back into his money bag and took out the last purple gold fossil.
He bought a total of six fossils in the gambling den and opened five on the spot, bringing the latter back with him.
His eyes shone as he activated Moonlight Gu, grinding with five fingers, slowly dissecting the stone.
The purple gold fossil gradually shrank under the blue ripples, and finally grinded into nothingness, leaving a pile of powder on the ground.
Fang Yuan was not surprised, because in stone gambling, you lost nine out of ten times.
Even with his experience of five hundred years, he could only manage eight losses out of ten times. And in the remaining two times, it depended on whether it was Gu alive or Gu dead.
The Dead Gu basically has no value. As for the living Gu, they might not be a rare type of Gu worm, and even if it was the extremely precious Gu, one might attract a life-threatening crisis because of it.
Fang Yuan's current cultivation level was still very low, it was at the lower level of Master Gu. The Mud Skin Frog that he had obtained earlier, if not for the fact that this was Gu Yue Mountain Village, it might have been forcibly snatched away by Jia Jin Sheng.
Although the last purple gold fossil had no Gu worm, Fang Yuan was not disappointed. Even he looked at the pile of stone powder and gradually smiled.
Indeed, his main motive of entering the gambling den was for this pile of stone powder. That Mud Skin Frog was just something he got from comfort.
He personally exposed the fossil, and other than him, no one knew the truth of this result.
From that day on, he was able to claim that the Liquor worm was awakened and subdued from the purple gold fossil.
This idea is amazing.
First, no one can be sure the Gu worm actually exists in the fossil. Who would dare to say that the Liquor worm could not hibernate inside the purple gold fossil? That's very possible!
Second, he had several eyewitnesses. He opened the Mud Skin Toad, which would leave a strong impression on the Master Gu in the gambling den.
Thirdly, even if one were to endlessly question him, he could force everything to his luck. Luck is something unexpected. Even if one were to suspect that this was the Monk Wine Flower Vineyards worm, on grounds like 'luck', they would not know how to argue against Fang Yuan.
Inside the dark room, Fang Yuan's expression was ominous.
Covering one side is similar to covering a fire with paper. There will be a day where he will be exposed.
In order to get rid of hidden threats like the Liquor worm, he had to attack first. This was Fang Yuan's style.
Moreover, he had thought about it carefully, and in the upcoming cultivation process, he needed to expose the Liquor worm.
“For Gu Rank one like the Liquor worm, it is valuable for Rank one Gu Masters. But for Rank two Gu Masters, it was no longer a match for them. So even if this was revealed, all I would get was some attention, but it would not affect the situation as a whole, so it became nothing to worry about. It's not like Spring and Autumn Crickets. If the Spring and Autumn Crickets were revealed, I would probably die a terrible death the next moment. ”
Five hundred years of experience in dealing with matters had made Fang Yuan very familiar with the human mentality, with each of their thoughts as clear as day for him.
“Inheritance Flower Wine Traveler and Mudskin Toad, among my memories, these are the only two treasures here, and now after they were obtained by me, are, what I can do next is only gradual and stoic cultivation.”
Fang Yuan sighed deeply and relaxed his body, feeling a strong sense of fatigue engulfing him.
Master Gu's ancient sea cultivation could not replace sleep.
Fang Yuan pulled out his blanket and lay down on his bed, his eyes still half-open.
Although there were five hundred ancient stones hidden under the bed, as well as many pots of Green Bamboo Wine, he still felt a sense of urgency and danger.
These five hundred ancient stones were already a boundary form. From expanding to declining, Fang Yuan was clear that further ancient stone production would only become larger.
But his income is mostly from blackmailing his classmates.
He increasingly felt the growth and improvement of his classmates. Especially in the recent few blackmailings, Gu Yue Mo Chen, Chi Chen, and his brother Gu Yue Fang Zheng, had greatly improved in their kicks and punches. Previously he only needed one or two attacks to take him down, but now he needed five or six.
“Three to four more loot, and their punches and kicks will be fully polished. If they challenged me one by one, with my current stamina, I could not withstand such a round robin battle. Five hundred ancient stones might seem like a lot, but with my current expenditure of four miles a day, it's actually not that much. ”
“Mount Qing Mao already has no treasures left, but near Mount Bai Gu (2), there is a secretly built legacy of Master Gu Rank four from the right path.
“Huh, it still boils down to the treasures of the Flower Wine Monk that are too few, just giving me the Liquor worm. Hmm... there is still a picture wall of the film, maybe I can sell it to a certain merchant in the caravan..”.
Fang Yuan thought as his eyelids grew heavier until he finally fell asleep.
