"It could be used as a trump card."
Fang Yuan couldn't use a regular three-stage Gu yet, but the Exploding Thorn Gu was different. It only needed to be thrown out, and it would automatically trigger upon impact, without needing true essence. Although using it head-on would definitely hurt the enemy a thousand while harming oneself eight hundred, it could be considered a lifesaver in an emergency.
He carefully put away the Exploding Thorn Gu, continued thrusting between his legs, and began to unravel the next stone...
"Huh? Where did it go?!"
The last stone! It was supposed to contain something valuable, but halfway through Fang Yuan's exploration, the contents suddenly turned to ashes, leaving him somewhat disappointed. He had no idea what kind of rare treasure he had just unearthed....
...
"This is! A Rank 3 Steel-Mane Gu! A Rank 3 Dark Sweat Butterfly! And so many Rank 2 high-quality Gu! Where did you get all of this?"
In the only inn in the mountain stronghold, Jia Jinsheng stared intently at Fang Yuan, somewhat incredulous.
"Jia Jin sheng, I'm talking business with you, you're talking too much."
Where did it come from? Of course, it was refined after the stone was cut. Although Fang Yuan can only look up the formula for the first-stage Gu now, with his level of alchemy master, it would be easy for him to deduce it again. Moreover, he has all the secret formulas for the third-stage Gu in the inherited memories.
"You bastard! Fine, I'll buy it then! With these Gu worms, I'll have some achievements to show for it."
"Hehe, that's perfect. I'll give you a discount: 10,000 spirit stones."
Fang Yuan sneered.
"You! Fine! I'll take it!"
There are eight first-stage Gu, each costing tens to hundreds of spirit stones ; five second-stage Gu, each costing one hundred to five hundred spirit stones, with the most expensive costing eight hundred spirit stones; and two third-stage Gu, which are relatively common Gu. Together, they cost about six thousand spirit stones, totaling ten thousand spirit stones, which just met Jia Jin sheng's bottom line. He was both angry at Fang Yuan's shrewdness.
"Great, happy transaction!"
Jia Jin sheng paid several mortals to move the spirit stones to Fang Yuan's house. Only then did Fang Yuan gave him the Gu worms, which made Jia Jin sheng feel resentful again. Just as he was about to leave, he was called back.
"There's another business deal. Do you want to do it?"
Fang Yuan was enjoying making money when he suddenly remembered the stone walls inside the cave in the back mountain.
.....
"bass!"
A crescent blade flashed, and Jia Jinsheng's head fell to the ground, the cause being the vanished shadow wall and the reappearance of the true inheritance.
"Don't overthink when you're killing someone!"
When Jia Jin sheng saw the inheritance revealed, he also had murderous intent, but as soon as he had the thought, Fang Yuan made his move.
The Gu Master can detonate his Gu worms in an instant, so the Gu worms on Jia Jin sheng's body have naturally died. However, he can only detonate the ones he has already refined. The Gu worms that Fang Yuan just traded with him were taken back into his possession.
As Fang Yuan had predicted, after the caravan left, Jia Fu returned with his men and conducted a series of investigations. He even disregarded his reputation and searched for Fang Yuan in front of the Gu Yue clan chief, and used Bamboo gentleman to detect lies.
The conclusion is that Fang Yuan is not the murderer. Although that gu can detect lies, Fang Yuan has three Immortal Gu. Under the suppression of their aura, Bamboo gentleman gundid not react at all. This is the meaning of "A gentleman does not lie, but a gentleman will remain silent".
"It seems this was all a misunderstanding..."
Jia Fu's actions have thoroughly angered Gu Yue Bo, the chief of the Gu Yue clan. After all, Fang Yuan is the hope of Gu Yue Mountain Village. Therefore, Jia Fu was in a very awkward position and had no choice but to spend a lot of money to compensate Fang Yuan by giving him 30,000 spirit stones. At Fang Yuan's request, he also gave him two hundred gambling stones to choose from.
Although Jia Fu didn't bring many people, Jia Jin sheng had always been in charge of the jade gambling business, and they were also witnesses, so it was convenient for them to be with him, and the handover took place on the spot.
"That kid is infuriating!"
After Jia Fu and Fang Yuan left, the old man from the school slapped his thigh in exasperation. He wasn't angry with Jia Fu for making compensation; he was angry with Fang Yuan. Why did he have to gamble on stones of all things!
"Well, 30,000 spirit stones is already quite a lot. Since this kid loves gambling so much, let him be!"
Fang Yuan had previously spent a huge sum of money on two separate occasions, buying a total of more than two hundred pieces of rough stones at the gambling stone market. This had greatly angered the elders of the school, so they all knew that he was a gambler.
Clan Chief Gu Yuebo was also disappointed in him, but he didn't dwell on it. He turned and left, looking exhausted. He had been constantly on guard against Jia Fu, who was of the same rank, he was mentally and physically exhausted.....
"A wine worm gu! This is wonderful!"
The elders were unaware that these rough stones were far more valuable to Fang yuan. At that moment, he was holding a plump jade in his hand and was in high spirits.
The first one out of two hundred stones yielded the wine worm he desperately needed! Two wine worm gu plus four kinds of fine wine can be combined to create a second-level four-flavor wine worm gu, which can be used to refine the true essence of a second-level Gu Master. This is a secret recipe inherited from his memories, and it hasn't been released to the public yet!
However, it will never be released to the public, because Fang yuan, with his mastery of alchemy, has already improved this secret formula, making it even stronger...
