Chapter 90: It's just a little icy wind

In the hall, the lights were shining brightly.

At the round dining table, the wine was already cold, and the dishes were already cold.

The bright red candle flickered and danced, projecting the shadow of Aunt and Uncle onto the wall.

The shadows of the two figures merged into one, and swayed grimly with the light of the candle.

In front of them, Mother Shen was kneeling.

Uncle broke the silence, “Thinking this Fang Yuan is eager to fight me. Huh, I want to calm her down with sweet words and hold her at home first before finding an excuse to throw her out of the house. To think that she's not in love with him! He had made up his mind, refusing my invitation without a single way to negotiate! Not even stepping into my house!”

Auntie gritted her teeth, her expression was a little confused, “This bastard is already sixteen years old, so if she wants the family fortune now, we can't deny it. Many years ago we obtained the wealth of that family and it was clearly recorded in the inner affairs hall. Now that we can't deny it, what should we do now ?! ”

“Go first.” Uncle waved at Mother Shen to retreat, laughing coldly, “Don't worry. All year long, I've been planning this. First, in order to regain his assets, he must have a rank one middle stage cultivation. He had already achieved this and was even at the peak stage, and got number one in the exam, it was very impressive. Hehe…"

“But, to successfully obtain the wealth of his family, it is not easy! The rank one cultivation of the middle stage was only a prerequisite. In order to split the assets, Fang Yuan had to apply, and the internal affairs hall had to approve it and send him a mission to test whether he had the qualifications. This was to prevent the clan from dividing the family assets unreasonably, causing internal strife and weakening the clan. ”

Enlightened aunt, "This means, she must complete the mission before she can get her parents' inheritance."

"That's right." Uncle laughed cynically, “But the mission of the internal affairs hall was sent to the group. The mission of the family assets will be the same. If Fang Yuan wanted to finish, he would have to rely on the group, he could not do it alone. Families do this to ensure that small groups stick together and increase their cohesiveness.”

Aunty laughed out loud, “My husband, you are too smart. Making Jiao San recruit Fang Yuan — in this way, if Fang Yuan wanted to complete the mission, he would need their strength. But Jiao San is on our side, so Fang Yuan will never be able to complete this mission.”

Uncle's eyes glowed in satisfaction, “Hmph, even if he couldn't put him in the group, I had other ways to deal with him. Not to mention completing the mission, even if he wanted to file for the division of wealth and accept the mission, it might not be possible! ”

…

The night came and the snow stopped.

Fang Yuan walked on the streets. The bamboo houses along the street were all covered in layers of white snow.

The snow he was stepping on made a light sound. Cold air entered his respiratory system, causing Fang Yuan's brain to become extremely awake.

After rejecting Mother Shen, Fang Yuan ignored the advice of Jiao San and his group and bid everyone farewell, going alone.

"So that's it." He walked over and thought, "Uncle and Aunt tried to trap and delay me, causing me to lose the opportunity to take back my inheritance."

“After the new year, I will be sixteen years old and qualified to split assets. My parents are dead, and my brother has new parents. If I succeed, the entire legacy will be mine. But to take back the legacy, there are two important steps, each of which is very important. ”

“The first one is to apply for a mission in the internal affairs hall without any other missions existing.The second one is to complete the mission to gain the right to inherit the assets. ”

“Jiao San conspires with Uncle and Aunt. Putting aside the second step, he had already tried to trap me at the first step. ”

Clan rules stated that Master Gu could only be on one mission at a time. This was to prevent Master Gu from monopolizing and causing negative competition in the clan.

Jiao San received missions in quick succession. After completing a permafrost decay ground mission, he immediately receives a new mission to capture wild deer.

The clan missions were all given to the group, meaning, according to the clan rules, Fang Yuan had to complete the mission of capturing deer before applying for the mission of splitting his assets.

“But at that time, I believe Jiao San will receive another new mission. As a leader, when accepting missions, he will always be one step ahead of me, causing me to be unable to accept my mission, so always stop me.” Thinking of this, Fang Yuan's eyes shone ominously.

These plots and schemes were irritating, like invisible ropes blocking Fang Yuan's progress.

But Fang Yuan had no regrets about getting into this group.

In the arena, he was cornered. Jiao San's invitation became a way for him to be free from adversity.

If he did not enter the team, his uncle and aunt would have other ways to deal with him, this could not be prevented and would be difficult to defend. But now that he was in the group, he could clearly see their scheme and easily counterattack.

“Solve this problem, I have my own way. The easiest way is to eliminate Jiao San, or kill my uncle and aunt, then no one will compete with me over the family assets. But this way is too risky, they are all second rank Master Gu and my cultivation is still too low. Even if I kill them, I cannot get out of the troublesome aftermath. Unless there is a good opportunity for me to take advantage of. but this opportunity is usually due to luck.”.

Fang Yuan could kill Gao Wan's servants and could kill Wang's parents, but that was because they were humans and servants, with a cheap life like grass. Killing them was the same as killing a dog or plucking a weed, it was not important.

But killing Master Gu was extremely troublesome.

Master Gu was all Gu Yue clan, no matter who died, the punishment hall would investigate. Fang Yuan evaluated his own strength and knew there was too much risk in killing them now; he might even be killed. Even if he killed them, the investigation of the punishment hall was even more troublesome. His actions in the future would be spied on and they might even know the legacy of the Flower Wine Monk.

“Pulling much bigger problems when eliminating small problems, that's not what wise people do. Oh? I am here, "Fang Yuan spoke lightly, stopping at a worn-out bamboo building.

This bamboo building was torn and worn out, like an old man about to die, panting for his last breath in the harsh winter.

Looking at this bamboo building, Fang Yuan's face showed traces of memories.

This was the room he had rented in his previous life.

In his previous life, after being chased away by his uncle and aunt, he had less than fifteen ancient stones left and had to sleep on the streets for several days before finding this place.

“I don't know about other places, whether they have uncle and aunt's trap or not. But the memory of my previous life tells me that at least this place is safe.”Fang Yuan rang at the door.

After half an hour, he set the lease terms and was taken to the second floor by the owner.

The floor was old, making dangerous and alarming sounds when stepped on.

The room had only one bed, and a blanket. The blanket had many fillings but was still hollow, and a wisp of yellow cotton leaked from within.

The head of the bed has an oil lamp. The owner of the house left after turning on the lights.

Fang Yuan did not sleep, but sat down on the bed and started cultivating.

As his ancient ocean raged through the gaps, every drop of primordial essence was black green.

Four aperture walls are white crystal, in a translucent state.

Top stage one stage.

Suddenly, the green bronze primeval sea started to have currents, like a raging and suicidal ferocious beast heading towards the four walls of the pit.

Bam bam…

A large wave hit the aperture wall, causing small ripples to break into small droplets before disappearing.

After a while, a sea of 44% primordial essence was quickly expelled, with a large amount of primordial essence being depleted.

On the sturdy aperture wall, there was a crack line.

But cracks are not enough.

Fang Yuan wanted to break through rank one peak stage and reach Rank two, so he had to destroy this aperture wall completely, evolving through its destruction!

The black green primordial essence continued to attack the crystal wall, and the cracks increased, forming giant pieces. In some places, the crack was even deeper, forming a very clear line.

As he used the primordial essence, he did not continue to use the primordial essence to attack, and the crystal wall began to heal, causing the cracks to disappear.

Fang Yuan was not surprised, gathered his spirit and opened his eyes.

The oil lamp is out. After all, there is not much oil.

The room was dark, with only the windows giving off a hint of light through the gaps.

The room has no firepit and is not warm. Fang Yuan had been sitting on the bed for a long time without moving, and felt the chill intensify.

His dark iris fused with the darkness.

“To break through the key of Jiao San, there is an easier and safer method. That's to rise to Rank two! Rank one master Gu had no right to give up on missions, but rank 2 master Gu could do it once a year. If I rise to rank two, I can give up on my mission and apply for an asset separation. ”

"But to break through rank two, it's not an easy task." Thinking of this, Fang Yuan sighed. Getting out of his bed, he took a walk in the restroom.

From the initial stage to the middle stage, the middle stage to the upper stage, these are all small realms. From rank one peak stage to rank two early stage, that is breaking through the great realm. Between these two cases there are very different difficulties.

Simply put, to destroy the crystal wall, it takes an explosive force, forming a strong impact in a short time to destroy the wall.

But Fang Yuan only had C-class talent, and the primeval ocean was only 44%. If he used all his strength to attack the wall, his ancient essence would soon run out.

Just like before, once his ancient essence was depleted, he would no longer have the strength to continue. And that wall has recovery capabilities, so before long, it will heal. Whatever Fang Yuan did before would be for naught.

“Bracking the wall and reaching Rank two without any special situation, one needs 55% black green primordial essence. But my talent is limited, it only has 44%, so people say that talent is the key in Master Gu's cultivation! ”

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan slowed down his pace.

Unknowingly, he had moved to the window, so he opened the window casually.

Every gust of wind shook the bamboo lattice window, and when it opened, the snow-covered mountain greeted the eyes. (1)

Under the moonlight, the snow was like white jade, spreading out and letting the world resemble a crystal palace before one's eyes, untainted by dust.

The snow light shone on Fang Yuan's young features. His expression was peaceful and calm, his eyebrows were smooth, his pair of eyeballs looked like ancient springs under the moon.

As a cold wind blew onto his face, the young man laughed, "That's just a little icy wind (2)."

(1) This is the line of a poem.

(2) Only slight freezing wind: the non-literally meaning refers to difficulty/obstacle. A play on words for the obstacles he faces.
