Chapter 92: The future is in sight
"Hold on, Fang Yuan, we came to help you!" Jiao San shouted with a concerned expression, taking large steps into the room.
But the next moment, he was dumbfounded.
The room was empty, Fang Yuan was not inside.
Fourthly silent.
"How did this happen, where is he?" Jiao Sao broke the silence, saying desperately.
He 'performed' outdoors for a long time, but it turned out to be a one-man show because Fang Yuan had never been inside.
The three of them looked at each other, not expecting such a result.
"It's strange, if Fang Yuan isn't here, why would he stick the paper on the door?" Kong Jing said carefully.
"Take the owner here now!" Jiao Sao raised his foot and made the door fly.
“You're looking for me? Hmph, I was just about to find you. Come to my house and cause a big commotion, even break down my door. Young man, you are truly capable. ” The owner is an old man, but his tone is very firm.
Being able to have an additional house in Gu Yue village and rent it out, he was obviously a Master Gu.
Master Gu's strength and status replaced humans. Mortal humans did not dare to run such a business. In fact, they do not own property.
The entire village property was owned by the Gu Yue clan. The humans who lived here were the farmers and servants of the clan.
"Senior, we're here to find a young man, he's a member of our group." Facing the landlord, Jiao San controlled his emotions.
An old Master Gu was like a landlord, even if he was old and no longer fought for his career, he still had strong relationships and connections. Despite his retirement, his abilities still could not be underestimated.
Those without human relations and trump cards, how would they dare to do business?
This is not an era of peace, violence and looting.
The landlord shook his head, his tone stiff, “I don't care about the whereabouts of my tenants, but I know that you broke my door. You need to compensate me. ”
“Hehe, it's our fault, it's only natural that we give you compensation,” Jiao Sao laughed flatly. Even though he was furious inside, he still forced himself to compensate for some ancient stones and even gave some additions.
The expression of the landlord changed a little better, “If the young man who rented this room is the one you found, then I have to tell you that he has not been in for a day. After paying the rent for a month, he bought a lot of stuff yesterday and asked me which places sold coal for cheap. I told him that there was no need to buy coal, because there was a valley outside the village towards the north. A mine was located there where he could dig coal. After thanking me, he left and never came back.”
"So that's it." Jiao San looked at the decorations in the room.
The bed and bed linen are new. Tables and chairs were old items that Fang Yuan had bought that seemed to be sturdy.
The stove is empty, there is no charcoal.
Jiao San sighed slowly, feeling at ease.
“It looks like Fang Yuan is delayed by digging coal. Never mind, come again tomorrow.” He got out of the room first.
But on the third day, Fang Yuan still did not appear.
Jiao San and the others stood outside the room, hesitating.
“Diggering coal, it does not take much time. Fang Yuan wanted to do closed door cultivation so maybe he dug more. But it's been a long time, could it be that something happened to him while he was digging?” Kong Jing bewitched.
Jiao San nodded unwittingly, pointing towards the bed and stove, “This child is very stingy. He suddenly paid the rent for a month and even bought so many items, and especially pasting that paper on the wall, he might want to cultivate here. Too bad he's not lucky. These days the wolf hordes are getting bigger, and the ferocious beasts around the village are becoming more active. He may have met some beasts.”
“Leader is wise!” The two female Master Gu said at the same time, flattering her.
Jiao San laughed as he raised his head, “Hahaha, I am still at a loss how to deal with it. Even though we have a mission to catch deer, do not rush to do so. If we meet him in the wild, we're forced to save him, right?”
"Hehe." The other three members started laughing.
Fourth day.
At the aperture, waves of black green primordial essence struck the crystal wall nonstop.
The translucent white crystal walls were already full of cracks, crisscrossing each other.
This was Fang Yuan's result after working hard non-stop for three days and three nights. At most, when he really couldn't take it anymore, he would immediately eat and finish his entrails.
These days, Fang Yuan had deliberately slowed down the wave-destroying process, and at the same time he was attracting more and more ancient essences from his ancient stones. So, after all this time, the ancient sea of green copper only dropped from the 44% limit to about 20%.
Over time, when there was only about 13% of the primordial essence left, the wall could no longer hold back, and had reached its limit.
crack crack…
The originally sturdy crystal wall broke into pieces, and its shards fell into the ancient sea, causing ripples and waves. After which, it turned into white dots and disappeared into thin air.
What replaced the crystal wall, was a new white light wall.
This is a second-rate light wall. Although there was not much difference and it still emitted a white light, it was much more glittering than a rank one light wall.
This was the primordial essence of a rank two early red steel!
“Finally I made it, I managed to break rank two!” Fang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, the room immediately became bright.
But a second later, a strong wave of nausea struck him.
“I spent four days and three nights cultivating nonstop, it was too intense and my body would collapse soon.” Fang Yuan laughed bitterly, slowly lying down. “My cultivation was not interrupted at all, it seems like my arrangement in the rented house has been successful. Worth spending this amount, next I will rest well for tonight and return to the village tomorrow. ”
Thinking of this, a great drowsiness attacked him.
Fang Yuan forced his eyes to stay open and used his strong desire to cover himself with a blanket.
After closing his eyes, within a few seconds, he was sound asleep.
His previous cultivation had consumed most of his spirit.
He slept until the afternoon of the second day.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes, feeling his spirit recover to be about half, but he still felt a weakness in his body.
He opened the door, walked out of the room for the first time in five days.
It attracts someone.
This person had long slender eyes with a thin body — it was Jiang Ya's brother, Jiang He.
Looking at Fang Yuan, he heaved a sigh of relief, saying, “You finally came out! Hmph, I'll break into the room if you still don't come out after the next few days. After all if you die here, I will be responsible. ”
Fang Yuan laughed but did not say anything.
Winter sunlight broke through the window, shining down on his face, strengthening the trail of pale white weakness on his face.
Five days ago, he deliberately asked the landlord and gave Jiao San a clue about the story of his coal. After that he left Gu Yue village and went to the hamlet at the foot of the mountain.
Because of Wang's previous parents, Jiang He was half his alliance partner. Using this relationship, Fang Yuan stayed a few days in the village and rose to rank two without any interruption.
Of course, the secret cave of rock cracks was much more elusive than Jiang He's place, but it wasn't completely safe. Fang Yuan had to consider the possibility of Jiao San and the others endlessly finding him, and perhaps finding the secret cave of the rock crack.
Although the chances were slim, if the inheritance of the Flower Wine Monk was discovered, Fang Yuan's life would be in danger.
Fang Yuan was a very cautious person, and he would naturally not take such risks.
At the same time, it was safer at Jiang He's place. Even if they had a secret together, Jiang He would not kill him to silence him.
The risk and difficulty of killing a Master Gu was simply too great. Without sufficient benefits, Jiang He had no motivation to do so. In fact, in order to keep his secret, Jiang He even had to worry about Fang Yuan's safety.
After all, if the clan punishment hall investigated Fang Yuan's death, they might find out about old man Wang's secret.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was safe, Jiang He was completely relieved.
But quickly, he sensed Fang Yuan's aura and his expression changed, "To think that you actually made it, reaching Rank two in one go!"
He was shocked in his heart. Five days ago when Fang Yuan approached him and declared his intention, he actually felt disgust in his heart.
Absorbing the primordial essence of the primordial stone and breaking through to Stage two, this kind of multitasking method was extremely draining of spirit. Normally, Gu Masters required extremely strong willpower, patience, and years of cultivating experience.
Just by experience, a Master Gu could treat the extraction of the primordial essence from the stone as an instinct. At the same time, skillfully manipulating the primeval sea and causing impact was controlled to a certain degree, and it had to be perfectly calculated, enough to match the recovery rate of the primordial essence so that the process could be maintained.
In Jiang He's opinion, Fang Yuan had no chance of succeeding. But to think, he did it in one go.
Fang Yuan laughed indifferently, “I'm lucky. I plan to return to the village today, but before that, it would be nice if I could eat.”
“Hehehe, little brother Fang Yuan, since you are here, of course I take care of your food.” Jiang He patted his chest, his demeanor was even friendlier than before.
Although he did not think about Fang Yuan's future well, but now that he had risen to second rank, it meant that he had crossed a difficult hurdle and had the qualifications to be on par with him now.
After a good meal, Jiang He brought Fang Yuan to the entrance of the small village in person.
“Little brother Fang Yuan, be careful this time. Recently the wolf nest area became a little more vicious, causing the ferocious beasts to become more active. Uh, snowing.” Jiang He paused for a moment, then continued, “In my opinion, don't leave now. How about you stay here one more night?”
After Fang Yuan reached Rank two, he became extremely friendly.
But Fang Yuan insisted on leaving, thus saying goodbye to Jiang He.
The snowflakes fell quietly, like clean white feathers floating slowly.
The sunset light turned the snow golden yellow.
Flakes by splinters, snow floated onto Fang Yuan's head and shoulders.
In the distance, Gu Yue village stood upright on the waist of the mountain, watching quietly.
