Chapter 44: Monkey Wine, does not produce the chance of the worm Liquor
On the second day in the afternoon during his lunch break, Fang Yuan went to the shopping district outside the mountain village again.
Since many of them had to work during the day, there were not many villagers in the tent area.
Fang Yuan walked to the area where the seller sold Intimate Grass last night, according to his memory. He grabbed it just to see the empty wagon, still in place. An ostrich was dragging a cart.
It stood in place proudly, its body size was as big as an ostrich while having the appearance of a chicken, the back of the creature protruding into a curved corner. A pair of wide wings gathered on his sides, his feathers were extremely bright in seven colors. The head of the chicken is raised high, a large red perch like a crown of agate, sparkling with a jewel luster in the sun.
“Looks like I'm still late, Intim Grass is already sold out. Too bad, if I could buy some Intimate Grass catties, I would be able to save a bit of ancient stone. ” Fang Yuan's footsteps came to a halt as he walked away and continued to venture deeper into the area.
“Come, sample delicious wines from all different villages. There are more than a hundred types of wine here, such as Lantern Grass Wine, Nine Tune Wine with strong aftertaste, light and elegant Ancient Dragon Well, sweet and sour Flower Rock Tune, The tantalizing Hundred Spring Old Cellar. , The rich and fragrant Three Autumn Intoxication....” In front of the blue round bucket in front of the tent, a shop assistant is peddling vigorously.
A light flashed across Fang Yuan's gaze as he immediately became interested. With a turn, he entered the wine shop.
The decorations in the wine shop were very unique.
At the very inside of the tent, there was a long table. A Master Gu was placed there, with dozens of crystal ladybugs the size of a woven basket behind him, stuck to the fabric wall of the tent.
On the floor there is no carpet, but mountain rocks and soil that is not covered. Between the soils, brightly colored mushrooms grow.
This mushroom has a wide variety of colors, looks round and a little funny. Some are as big as a table, some are short as a bench. They are often distributed where a large table mushroom is surrounded by several shorter stool mushrooms.
“This is Innocent Mushroom, which was deliberately planted by a Gu Master. It has the ability to absorb dust and particles in the air to purify it, and it is a kind of Gu grass.” Fang Yuan was able to recognize the origin of the mushroom as soon as he saw it.
He chose one of the short mushrooms and sat down. The mushroom surface immediately sunk slightly, making Fang Yuan feel like he was sitting on a sofa like the one on Earth.
"Young master, this is a wine catalog, do you want to see it?" A shop assistant walked over.
Fang Yuan glanced at the wine catalogue and realized that the wine here was more expensive than the green bamboo wine.
"I'll drink a cup of monkey wine." Fang Yuan put down his catalogue.
“A cup of monkey wine!” The shop assistant turned around and shouted.
At the counter, Teacher Gu Rank one heard and immediately bowed to pick up the bamboo wine cup.
Next he picked up the wine cup and turned around, facing the tent. On the walls of the blue tent were dozens of crystal ladybugs, heads facing down and tails facing up, quietly sticking to the wall as if it was just a decoration for the tent.
This crystal ladybug was also a Gu type. His stomach was empty, as it was often used by Master Gu to carry precious liquids.
Their bodies were transparent, as if they were made of crystal. From the outside, one can see that inside the ladybug stomach, different types of liquor can be found.
Master Gu quickly found the crystal ladybug that contained monkey wine among them.
He placed the bamboo wine cup in the ladybug funnel, and gently stroked the outer shell of the ladybug with his other hand.
A small amount of primordial essence entered the body of the crystal ladybug, and after that opened its mouth and a burst of liquor flowed into the bamboo wine cup.
The liquor splattered around the cup until it was full.
Master Gu placed a bamboo wine cup filled with monkey wine on the table. The shop assistant who had been waiting for a while quickly raised the cup meticulously and walked a few steps to deliver it to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan only took a slight sip, monkey wine was indeed a fruit drink, sweet and refreshing and gentle on the ceiling.
He stopped drinking, but with a thought, Fang Yuan called out to the Liquor worm.
The white and plump liquor worm turned into a flash of white light and warped in the air. With a 'plop', it landed on the wine cup.
Wine splattered everywhere, splashing onto the mushroom table.
Liquor worms were happily lashing out at the wine cup, and the monkey wine could be seen diminishing with the naked eye. In a few moments, the cup dried up, without a single drop remaining.
"It's Liquor worm!" Master Gu at the counter shouted, his eyes twinkling. He was a Rank one Master Gu with Grade D talent, could only follow the merchant caravan and work in this wine shop. The goal is to look around while finding the opportunity.
Liquor Worms can purify the primordial essence and increase it to the entire realm. For a rank one Master Gu, it could be said to be an extremely valuable Gu worm. Wasn't this the opportunity he was looking for with great difficulty?
"This young master, do you have any plans to sell this Liquor worm?" He excitedly approached, an expression of sincerity in his eyes.
Fang Yuan shook his head, rejecting him with a stern attitude, getting up to leave after that.
His motive this time was to reveal the Liquor worm he had; he had never thought of selling it.
“Young master, young master, please wait. I am very sincere about this, maybe we can sit down and discuss.” Master Gu reluctantly followed Fang Yuan to the entrance of the tentage but Fang Yuan did not show any response to him.
In the end he could only stand in place, his expression deeply regretful as he watched Fang Yuan's back view turn a corner and disappear into the middle of the horizon.
……
At night, the moonlight shines brightly but is eclipsed by the many street lamps in the merchants' shops.
The merchant's shop tonight is filled with business. Fang Yuan was squeezed left and right as he walked in, overhearing all sorts of conversations by accident.
“Stores are usually open for three days and three nights. Tonight was already the second night, on the morning of the next day, the merchant caravan must have already departed. So, we have to hurry if we want to buy something.”
“I saw Golden Bell Gu yesterday, duh, what a pity the price is too expensive. After bargaining with the shopkeeper for a long time, nothing was cheaper. I'm gonna go and see her tonight."
“You heard? Last night, a young man opened a Mud Skin Toad and made a profit of five hundred ancient stones!”
……
Fang Yuan listened attentively, feeling a disappointment in his heart as he heard nothing about the Liquor worm.
“Liquor Worms is just a rank one Gu worm but it means a lot to a rank 1 Master Gu, however it was useless to second or third rank Master Gu because they were unable to refine their primordial essence any further with it. So it's only natural that no one pays attention to this. However taking the initiative to expose the matter of the Liquor worm could not rush for a period of time. If I overdo it, it will probably get the cat out of the bag. ” As Fang Yuan walked, he pondered inwardly.
At this point, there was a frenzy in front of him.
Next, Fang Yuan heard someone shout, "Hurry up and look, there are dishonest merchants here who sell fake Gu to our clan!"
Anger emerged among the crowd.
"Oh? There is such a thing that happens.”
"Go and see quickly, which shop dares to deceive our clan!"
Fang Yuan followed the crowd and moved towards the commotion as well.
What he saw was a group of people surrounding the mouth of a large red tent, a large crowd swarming around him. Some people were curious watching while others stared coldly, but most of the people were enveloped in anger.
Outside the tent stood two people.
One of them was the young rank two Master Gu, whose clothes indicated that he was clearly from the Gu Yue clan.
Another person had a familiar face – it was the owner of the gambling den, Jia Jin Sheng.
Young Master Gu held a black Gu worm in his hand, raised it and shouted to the crowd, “Klan me, this person in front of me sold me a fake Gu yesterday. Lied to me that it was the Black Pig Gu, and sold it to me for two hundred and fifty ancient stones. Thinking that when I got home to fix it, I realized that it was not Black Boar Gu but just an ordinary smelly fatty worm! ”
Jia Jin Sheng laughed coldly, “Don't accuse me of being wrong. Since when did I tell you that it was the Black Pig Gu? What proof do you have?”
The young Master Gu upon seeing Jia Jin Sheng's denial, became enraged and grabbed Jia Jin Sheng's wrist, "You crafty merchant, you dare to deny it! You actually dared to lie to me about the Gu Yue clan in Qing Mao Mountain by yourself, are you trying to seek death ?! ”
"Take me off!" Jia Jin Sheng was also very angry as he flicked his wrist, slapped Young Master Gu's hand, “If you want to look for trouble and extort money, you have to find a better target. I'm not afraid of you! My brother is Jia Fu, Teacher Gu is fourth rank, what can you do to me?”
"You!" The young Master Gu stared wide-eyed, but did not dare to take action. The name of Master Gu Rank four was enough to intimidate him.
“Bah!” Jia Jin Sheng spat on the ground, raised his head and looked at Young Master Gu, laughing disdainfully, “You are the one who wants to take advantage of cheap Gu. Don't you use your brain to think, why would Black Boar Gu who can increase the strength of master Gu, become a rare Gu worm, be sold even cheaper than Liquor worm? It is usually sold with six hundred ancient stones. Do you think that you can buy one with just two hundred and fifty ancient stones? Dream on!"
"Fuck ......" The young Master Gu gnashed his teeth, his face flushed red as he trembled in anger, his chest burning with anger from humiliation.
There was chatter among the people as they fidgeted, discussing angrily. But no one dared to step up, because the status of Master Gu Rank four from Jia Fu was like a gigantic hill in front of them, stabilizing the crowd.
"This child is too cruel, a cunning merchant!"
"No wonder he dared to be so arrogant at Qing Mao Mountain, he was actually Jia Fu's younger brother."
"I heard that they are only stepbrothers, but even with the cultivation of that rank one, he can use this relationship to act uncontrollably in the caravan."
“What really happened here?” At this moment, a loud voice spoke.
"Jia Fu is here!"
"The leader is here to settle disputes, everyone gives way."
The discussion came to a halt as everyone separated and formed a narrow path between them.
A middle-aged Master Gu who had a short muscular body coupled with a giant stomach, walked in. He wore a long-sleeved yellow robe, becoming the leader of the merchant caravan, Jia Fu.
"Master Jia Fu, my regards." Young Master Gu was furious but did not dare to say anything. He forced himself to hold back his anger and saluted Jia Fu.
Jia Jin Sheng froze on the spot, not expecting his brother to come, his face suddenly pale as anger flashed in his eyes.
This strange expression was captured by Fang Yuan observing from afar as he pondered the situation.
