Chapter 63: Gifting jade skin under the moon; white pigs hidden inside the earthflowers

The sun goes down and the moon rises, the sign of the coming of night.

This was one of the hidden courtyards in Gu Yue Village.

A standing grasshopper tree with intricate branches and dense leaves, its sturdy, broad treetops that were like the canopy of the jasper empire, enveloped the entire courtyard.

The moonlight was soft like water, walking through the leaves and branches of the grasshopper tree, spilling into the courtyard.

A gust of wind blew, making the leaves of the tree rustle, the shadow of the tree slightly swayed.

Under the tree, two people stood.

Gu Yue Bo used a gentle gaze and looked at Fang Zheng. "Fang Zheng, today you chose your second Gu, I wonder what it is?"

"Reporting to the clan leader, Master, today I chose the Bronze Skin Gu." Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood stiffly, saying with an amazed expression.

Gu Yue Bo nodded, and after pondering she replied, "Not bad, that's a good choice."

Gu Yue Fang Zheng stood in front of Gu Yue Bo, his body stiffening and stiffening. Hearing Gu Yue Bo's praise, she didn't know how to answer for a while, so in the end she just laughed, "Clan leader, I chose randomly."

“You think I'm not seriously praising you? No." Gu Yue Bo looked at Fang Zheng, a smile on her face, “Do you know? From choosing Gu, it shows the character of a person.”

“You choose Bronze Leather Gu for defense. Paired with Moonlight Gu, it was both attack and defense. It shows your pure nature. In this world, attacks and defenses such as frontal and ambush, yin and yang, soft and hard, this is the path of king.”

“Gu Yue Mo Bei chose the Yellow Camel Longhorn Beetle, this Gu gave her stamina and allowed her to sustain the battle. It shows his stubborn and strong attitude.”

“As for Gu Yue Chi Cheng, he chose Gu Cricket Dragonpill, allowing him to increase his evasive ability. It shows he does not like frontal attacks, being a smart person, good at tactics, but also shows weakness in his character.”

Gu Yue Fang Zheng was stunned after listening, as he did not expect that such a simple matter could reveal that much information and logic.

As a result, his attitude towards Gu Yue Bo became even more respectful.

"Clan leader, what did my brother choose?" Fang Zheng thought of Fang Yuan and immediately asked.

Gu Yue Bo laughed, “He chose Little Light Gu, this Gu was used to help Gu Moonlight and can make the moon sword attack stronger. It shows her extreme, active, and invasive personality.”

“Indeed, sister looks like that.” Fang Zheng muttered.

Gu Yue Bo considered Fang Zheng's expression and carved it into his mind.

Those who became rulers had their unique abilities. Although Gu Yue Bo and Fang Zheng had not interacted for long, Gu Yue Bo's experienced gaze was already visible through Fang Zheng.

He told Fang Zheng about Mo Bei and Chi Cheng's decision to have a deeper meaning.

It was to help Fang Zheng analyze these two people, as he anticipated him defeating the two of them and establishing the role of clan leader with his A-grade talent.

But Gu Yue Bo was unwilling to say it out loud, and would not trigger Fang Zheng's actions.

As the clan leader, his every word and action had political implications. If he directly controlled Fang Zheng and dealt with Chi Cheng and Mo Bei, if words spread, it might be misunderstood as the clan leader's political attack. If that was the case, the implications would be enormous and could even cause clan strife, harming the entire village.

There was another thing – Gu Yue Bo was waiting for Fang Zheng to understand his intentions. He spent time and effort to nurture Fang Zheng, but it was not to nurture a rank four or five fighter. A warrior without political knowledge is like a double-edged sword. He needed a future leader for the clan!

“I analyzed Mo Bei and Chi Cheng's personalities for Fang Zheng, but he was unaware of my intentions, instead asking about Fang Yuan's situation. It seemed that he had a great trauma about Fang Yuan, but he was also at the stage of his rebellion. He wanted to defeat Fang Yuan, that was understandable. Huh, if only Fang Zheng had Fang Yuan's intelligence, I have seen many young people this year, but when speaking of political intelligence, Fang Yuan defeated all of them. It was a pity that he only had C.” class talent]

Gu Yue Bo sighed deeply but her smile grew softer.

He took out the Gu worm from his pocket.

“This is —– Gu Jade Skin?” Fang Zheng upon seeing this Gu worm, said lightly with his eyes wide open.

Gu Yue Bo said, “Compared to the Bronze Skin Gu, this Jade Skin Gu is much better, not only using less ancient essence but also providing greater defense. Fang Zheng, do you want it?”

"Clan leader!" Fang Zheng was startled and he looked at Gu Yue Bo, stuttering, "I .. of course I want it."

"I can give it to you." Gu Yue Bo laughed more kindly, "But as the clan leader, I must be impartial and cannot give it to you for no reason, so I have conditions."

Fang Zheng nodded repeatedly, staring wide, "What condition?"

Gu Yue Bo's smile disappeared, showing a stern expression, “I want you to be the first to break through rank one to rank two, be the first place in terms of cultivation! And this Jade Skin Gu is the gift of your progress.”

"Ah, up to Rank two?" Gu Yue Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment. He had just become a rank one middle stage; after the middle stage was the upper stage, and after that there was still a peak stage.

But now Gu Yue Bo wanted her to be the first person to rise to the second rank.

“What's up, are you scared? Then I can only give this Gu to someone else. ” Gu Yue Bo pretended to keep Jade Skin Gu.

Fang Zheng was instigated by this sentence, immediately his brain heated up as he shouted, “No, I promise you! I will defeat everyone and become a first rank two cultivator! ”

"That's how." Gu Yue Bo showed her gentle smile again, placing Gu Jade Skin in Fang Zheng's hands.

He thought in his heart, “Fang Zheng, I know you feel inferior, but this sense of inferiority is too dangerous for your growth. The best way to get rid of your low self-esteem is success. You have A-Class talent, so rising to the first two Rankings is your biggest advantage, and also the easiest success you can achieve. You must succeed, because if you fail even this, I will be too disappointed.

At the same time, Fang Yuan stepped into the secret cave behind the rock crevice again, entering into the end of the tunnel.

This time, he did not bring a steel shovel, a pickaxe or a hammer, but carefully scanned the surroundings.or a hammer, but carefully observed the surroundings. He was discouraged by this setback the night before, and on his way back to the village he felt something was amiss.

Just today in the dormitory where he used the Spring Autumn Cricket to refine Little Light Gu, he suddenly understood the strange part of the situation.

He looked around again.

The ground of the path was smooth and the top was curved; the walls on both sides were red earth, emitting red light.

“Eh?” When he looked at the ground again, he found a point of suspicion.

The ground near the giant rock was slightly darker in color. This color difference is not very obvious and is not easily found under dimly lit environments.

Fang Yuan knelt down, touched the ground, felt wet.

No wonder it's darker, wetter.

But this road is so dry, where did the water come from?

Fang Yuan grinded the ground with his fingers, finding that the ground on this patch of earth was problematic. Very soft and loose, not clumping like dry red soil.

Fang Yuan's gaze shone. Experience and intuition told him that this area had a 'key' hidden by the Flower Wine Monk.

And this 'key' was a clue that would allow him to continue moving forward.

Fang Yuan started digging the ground. It was loose so he did not spend much effort.

After digging about an inch deeper, there was a strange scent flowing into Fang Yuan's nostrils.

"This fragrance is thick and luxurious yet unusual, it seems subtle and elegant, is it possible ..." Fang Yuan's heart moved as he thought of the possibility, his hand moving even faster.

While digging, the area under the ground suddenly emitted a faint dark golden light.

"That's really what I think!" Fang Yuan's eyes shone, the movements of his hands became even more refined, carefully digging into the surrounding soil, expanding this hole.

After a while, a dark gold-colored flower bud buried underground appeared in front of him.

It was two inches deep in the ground, the size of a stone mill, the surface of the bud was smooth and with a dark golden color, it looked mysterious and elegant.

"That's really the Gu Flower of the Earth's Treasury!" Seeing this, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.

He did not want to peel the flower petals, but rested on the ground, wiping the ground from his hands. Then he slowly stretched out his hand and forcefully opened the dark gold-colored petals.

Gu the Earth Treasury Flower was like a combination of a lotus and a kale. The petals are tightly knitted with many thick, slippery cuts when felt. As Fang Yuan opened his petals one by one, it was like revealing a thick layer of silk.

After leaving the main body, the large, dark-gold-colored petals would spread rapidly. It was like a snowflake that melted into the air.

After finding about fifty to sixty pieces of petals, his bud had shrunk in half, revealing the flower core.

The core petals are smaller and thinner, the texture becomes smoother and smoother. It was no longer like silk, but more like thin paper. .

Fang Yuan's movements became softer and slower, only opening a piece of petal in a few breaths.

The petals became increasingly transparent, and after a while, when Fang Yuan had opened the thin paper-like pieces of petals, he stopped his movements.

The current Gu Flower Earth Treasury only had the last layer of petals left.

These petals overlapped, forming a ball the size of a fist.

The petals are translucent, paper-thin. Inside this petal was a golden liquid and in the middle of this liquid, the Gu worm was sleeping inside.

Fang Yuan looked closely, but he could only see the hazy shadow of the Gu worm, and he could not tell which Gu was which.

He was close to her, and his breath was blown at the core of the flower. The round flower core started to shake, the golden liquid also moved gently within the petals.

Gu worms would die without food, and only a few Gu worms could seal themselves. In order to protect and preserve the Gu worm, Master Gu had thought of many methods.

The Gu Flower Earth Treasury was one of them.

It was a disposable Gu type, and after it was implanted in the ground, it could not be moved.

The food is simple, the energy of the earth. As long as it was planted in the ground, it would be able to survive with sufficient earth energy.

It only had one use, and it contained Gu in the heart of the flower and immersed Gu in a golden liquid.

This gold nectar to some extent, mimics the sealing state and lets the Gu worm fall into hibernation.

"The Monk Wine Flower planted this Gu Flower Treasury of the Earth, so the Gu inside must be for the heir." Fang Yuan stretched out a finger and peeled the remaining petals carefully, exposing the gap.

A golden liquid flowed along his finger, feeling like soybean oil.

The flower core began to soften with the loss of golden liquid. Fang Yuan moved his finger and his petal split open, allowing him to pick up the sleeping Gu worm.

It was a cute little beetle. Just as big as a thumb nail.

Its body is milky white, and when viewed from behind, it looks like a circle.

Its head only occupies a small area, while the rest of the body is its large, plump belly and shiny outer skeleton.

His six small legs were also cream-colored, hidden under his stomach.

"White Pig Gu!" Fang Yuan showed a look of excitement on his face.
