Chapter 231. Addicted to cultivating! | Reverend Insanity

Fang Yuan quickly stopped out of fear.Although he used the liquor worm before, it was used to refine the primeval essence and raise its quality by one small realm. When had he ever used the snow silver primeval essence which was of a much higher quality?With no choice, Fang Yuan could only reduce the amount used each time, and also slow the waves crashing into his aperture walls."To think there would also be problems when the primeval essence's quality is too high." Fang Yuan was slightly aggravated.In the darkness, Bai Ning Bing heard this and rolled her eyes.What sort of godsend opportunity was this!If anyone else knew, they would probably slap him to death out of anger.This was really a blissful worry.After four hours, this 6% snow silver primeval essence was finally expended.His rough stone aperture walls were already showing a glimmer just from this one round of cultivation. It was like a rough jade that had started to give off a lustre worthy of its quality after processing."Quick, transfer another 10%." Fang Yuan urged.Like this, they cultivated the whole night.When the rooster crowed in the morning, light had started to shine through the window, and Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.His eyes were shining with unconcealable excitement.He looked at his palm and clenched his fists: "Rank one peak stage!"Just a night of cultivation, caused him to rise from rank one upper stage to rank one peak stage.What divine speed is this!Ever since Fang Yuan started cultivating, he had never felt so comfortable and carefree, even in his previous life!Such a feeling was almost addictive.For example—When he had C grade aptitude, he cultivated like a snail. Using the liquor worm, he walked. With A grade aptitude and heavenly essence treasure lotus, he sprinted.But what the heck was this! With this bone flesh unity Gu, it was like he was soaring with two wings!Even Bai Ning Bing was stunned.She was smart and quickly realized that this Gu had another greater use."This Gu can also help in breaking through a large realm!"Liquor worm can only raise the cultivation by a small realm, and the Gu Master had to rely on their own primeval essence when breaking through a big realm, thus aptitude was crucial.But with this bone flesh unity Gu, they could use another person's primeval essence when breaking through to another realm,.This was an insane advantage!"With this Gu, Bai Gu mountain was a complete success, even if I sacrifice the heavenly essence treasure lotus, it would be worth it."At this time, the morning light entered the farm house, and Bai Ning Bing sighed loudly: "This world holds so many great geniuses!"Grey bone scholar was only a rank 4 Gu Master, but he managed to invent the bone flesh unity Gu, he was a true genius!All Gu Masters with titles had their specialities. In comparison, Fang and Bai were living in obscurity.…Under the blazing sun, in the fields."Auntie, take a rest, I'll help you!" Fang Yuan grabbed the hoe from the old lady's hand.The old lady could not compete in strength against the young and strong Fang Yuan, she felt happy seeing her hoe snatched away, smiling till her teeth was exposed: "Ah, where can I find such a wonderful lad."Since the first dual cultivation, two days had passed.The original plan was to stay a night and leave, but after using the bone flesh unity Gu, Fang Yuan was enjoying the rapid cultivation speed and decided to change his plans, to leaving only after he reached rank two at least.After all, there were still two to three years before that rock is discovered, he was in no rush.Bai Ning Bing had no objections, there was a huge difference between rank one and rank two. Becoming a rank two Gu Master would be a great help to their journey.Thus, they stayed in the village and didn't leave.The old lady also did not chase them away.The truth was she wanted the two to stay there forever. They worked so diligently, and although one was slightly dumb while the other was ugly, they were honest kids.Fang and Bai worked in the day, one had the strength of two boars, while the other had the strength of a crocodile; among mortals it was like having divine strength. Farmwork was a breeze, as easy as pie. Furthermore, it was an old lady's house, what tough work could there be?Everyday Fang and Bai only slept a little, but were still full of energy.Such a lifestyle – in comparison to moving in the wilds and living in harsh conditions, while worrying for their safety – was like heaven.Fang Yuan used all his free time to cultivate, like he was addicted.With the bone flesh unity Gu, his speed could only be described with a proverb,a thousand miles a day!He reached rank one peak stage in the first night. And in the past few days, he was steadily building on his foundation, and his aperture walls had already turned crystal clear. At this rate, he would reach rank two in a few days.As the number of times they cultivated increased, the bone flesh unity Gu's status rose in Fang Yuan's heart, surpassing the blood skull Gu and heavenly essence treasure lotus, only lower than the spring autumn cicada.There was no need to even mention Liquor worm which could only raise one small realm, it was nothing compared to the bone flesh unity Gu.As for blood skull Gu, it required too much investment and time. Although the heavenly essence treasure lotus was good, it could only provide help to Gu Masters who were alone.As for this bone flesh unity Gu, according to Bai Ning Bing's phrase, it was a Gu that could change even the very structure of society.This was no exaggeration and was deeply acknowledged by Fang Yuan.Bone flesh unity Gu was a low rank Gu, even rank one or two Gu Masters could use it. Although it had many refinement requirements, the standards were really not high, and a clan with enough resources could easy refine this Gu.This Gu was useless to a loner, but to clans or sects, this was a divine weapon!Using this shortcut, clan elders could nurture the juniors, reducing the time and funds required to raise a Gu Master, by many folds.With this bone flesh unity Gu, it was no longer nurturing Gu Masters, but creating Gu Masters in batches.It was a difference between heaven and earth.Because of this Gu, Fang Yuan even had a change of thought the night before, getting the urge to change his plans of fighting alone to establishing a force of his own.On that topic, an organised force was just a tool to be used.Fang Yuan had created the bloodwing demonic sect in his previous life, and if he wanted to establish an organization in this life, it would be a lot easier because he had already experienced it.But to establish an organisation, the most important thing was — occupying territory filled with resources. And under layers of control, gather people and use their strength to cultivate together.Gu Master cultivation was like swimming upstream, it was a journey of accumulation and naturally required resources.Thus to rank five Gu Masters and below, having an organisation's help would aid in their cultivation. However, once they reached rank six and experienced a qualitative change, turning from mortal to immortal, with the might of heaven and earth gathered in them, an organisation became useless to them.Knowing this, it was easy to understand Fang Yuan's plans.In his previous life, Fang Yuan established the bloodwing demonic sect to gather resources. In this life, with his knowledge of many inheritance and secrets, he could simply devour these resources and rise to rank six much more quickly. Why would he need to waste time and effort to create a force of his own?But now that he possessed the bone flesh unity Gu, it would be much quicker than he previously assumed if he created an organization. There would be less investments, but greater rewards, creating Gu Masters in batches and quickly form a large strength.But after Fang Yuan thought about it until morning, he dispelled his notion of creating a force.If he really relied on the bone flesh unity Gu to create an organisation, it would be courting death.Such a divine weapon would definitely attract the greed of all the large forces, if revealed.Not to say that he was starting from scratch, even a clan leader with some foundation would not dare to use the bone flesh unity Gu so openly.It truly attracted the jealousy of others!Even Wu clan, the number one clan in the southern borders, would not dare to use it alone.Fang Yuan estimated there needed to be an alliance of at least Wu clan, Fei clan, Tie clan and Shang clan to guard against the greed of all the Gu Masters over the world, if they were to use bone flesh unity Gu in large scale."If I want to create a force, even if it starts to look bright, I will get exterminated from all sides. By then, even if I escape, the foundation that I created would be lost. At the end, I would even become a complete loser, pursued by everyone."Fang Yuan had completely calmed down, knowing that this was a dead path, thus he affirmed his will of fighting alone in a large scale battle."But to be honest, Bai Sheng and Bai Hua were quite intelligent. In their previous life, although they used the bone flesh unity Gu and became the righteous twin stars, they did not use this power to grow their clan's force. With their intentional misleading, although the bone flesh unity gGu's reputation was established, people greatly underestimated its ability."Fang Yuan recalled, and sensed the wisdom in these two twin stars. Being able to come to Bai Gu mountain this time and killing the siblings prematurely, could be considered a great accomplishment.But Fang Yuan thought again: "This bone flesh unity Gu can only be used by two people. Bai Hua and Bai Sheng must've used the refinement method on the scroll. Without my unique alteration, the difficulty in defining the bone flesh unity Gu is greatly increased. It is possible that they did not even think of this prospect…"After thinking for so much, Fang Yuan's head was starting to hurt.He plowed the fields under the intense sun as he shook his head, collecting his dispersed thoughts.After all, these things were not important and it was useless to think about it."Unfortunately, I do not have Gu worms that aid in thinking like creative thinking Gu, intelligent heart Gu, tactful Gu and lightning thoughts Gu. Even at the very least, the bookworm would suffice. It seems I can only purchase them when I get to Shang clan city."The old lady's field was small, Fang Yuan quickly plowed half of it, when Bai Ning Bing felt interest and started to help on her own accord.She had seen farmers plowing fields on Qing Mao mountain, but back then she was still muddle-headed, and now that she was in this state, she wanted to experience the wonders in it.Only when the night approached, did they start eating in front of the old lady's house.You must be hungry, there are still sweet potatoes in the pot, it will definitely fill you up!" The old lady grinned as she scooped two bowls of rice.This rice was not the superior rice from the rice bag grass, but rough grains.However, the two were not picky eaters anyway."Eat slowly, I have good news to share with you two." On the table, the old lady smiled mysteriously.

"Auntie, what good news do you have?" Fang Yuan immediately asked with a foolish grin.As he was asking, an old man walked in from outside.Bai Ning Bing secretly glanced at the old man; this old man was a Gu Master!However, he only possessed rank one initial stage cultivation and was very old, there was nothing to worry."Young man, this is our village head." The old lady introduced the man.Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing hurriedly stood up.Fang Yuan scratched his head appearing to be uneasy: "Honorable village head, I am…"He hadn't even introduced himself when the village head waved his hand with a smile: "I know, you two are outsiders."Gu masters could sense the aura of other Gu Masters. However, Fang and Bai had the breath concealment Gu in their ears; their Gu Master aura were concealed, and the village head couldn't detect it.The old village head had obtained the report on these two strangers few days ago. But he didn't take it to heart.These days, besides Fang and Bai, there were many new people who had come to the village and lodged."If you want to come, just come, why is there a need to bring in gifts?" The old lady grumbled.The old village head hadn't come empty-handed, he was holding a string of tied fishes."I caught the fish this morning from the pool. Your teeth aren't in a good condition, drink some fish soup to recover your health." The old village head smiled.The old lady gave him a supercilious look before accepting the fish: "I will go cook the fish soup."One could sense the happiness in her voice.Bai Ning Bing couldn't sense anything from how the two elderly behaved and spoke to each other. Fang Yuan's gaze, however, flashed, realizing this old man and the old lady might probably have fallen in love at this old age."Auntie, let me do it." Fang Yuan immediately said."You guys just sit and chat. There is good news!" The old lady quickly waved her hand, indicating Fang and Bai to sit, "I have told your story to the villagers, the village head is a Gu Master, he can help you guys.""Gu Master!" Fang Yuan's eyes immediately opened as wide as saucers, he appeared stunned and stumped as he stood there.Bai Ning Bing almost couldn't help rolling her eyes at Fang Yuan's expression. She also did her best to show a shocked expression, but her performance was clearly far behind Fang Yuan's, and she knew this clearly.The old village head laughed loudly at Fang Yuan's expression, he immediately felt this ugly and silly guy was somewhat adorable. Compared to Bai Ning Bing who only looked somewhat stunned, the old village head liked Fang Yuan more."Come and sit down, you two youngsters, don't be reserved." He waved and sat down first.Fang Yuan acted bashful before he sat down while puffing hard, he appeared nervous. Bai Ning Bing also followed his expression from behind, but it looked somewhat unnatural.The old village head, however, didn't suspect anything: "I heard you guys had gone to sell herbs and salted meat, but unfortunately came across a wild beast. Your auntie told everything to me, you have helped her a lot these days. I have some purple maple leaves here. In a few days, a caravan will be coming here. You can sell these purple maple leaves and recover your capital."When Bai Ning Bing realized this was the good news the old lady was talking about, she immediately lost her interest."Thi..thi..this…" Fang Yuan stuttered with happiness, tears flowed out from his eyes as he choked with emotion, "Honored sir, you are really a good person, a great person!"The old village head patted the shoulder of this devil and tried to sympathize: "No need to say that. Any person has their ups and downs in life. But I can't just give these purple maple leaves to you, otherwise the villagers will say something about it. How about this, go help plow the fields in the eastern end of the village, you just need to do it for seven days until the caravan arrives."He was actually really grateful to Fang and Bai.He had been a mortal who was born and raised in this village, he and the old lady had been childhood sweethearts. But the affairs of the world was fickle, the old lady was married off to someone else. During one time when a caravan had come by, a Gu Master noticed his intelligence and gave him some help, turning him into a Gu Master.Because of this, he became the village head. Although he still had feelings for the old lady, both of them had families and children and it would leave a bad impression if he stayed overly in touch with her. Although he is the village head, he couldn't brazenly assist her.He had actually been secretly observing Fang and Bai, and felt their nature wasn't bad; they were hardworking and were honest kids, just that their luck was a bit bad.Hence, when the old lady told their story to him, he immediately agreed to help.…"You agreed to the village head during the dinner. Are you really thinking of plowing the fields for seven days for a cart of that purple whatever leaves?" In the house at night, Bai Ning Bing puzzledly asked."Purple maple leaves is of course not my true objective. Didn't you hear during the meal? A caravan will be passing through this place." Fang Yuan replied."So what? Didn't you mention that caravans pass through Zi You mountain all year round?""The caravans pass through once a year sometimes, and sometimes, once per half a year. What I had not expected was that a caravan would be coming in just a few days. I made some indirect inquiries and found that this caravan is travelling from east to west. Even if it doesn't go to Shang clan city, it will at least travel along our destination."Bai Ning Bing suddenly understood: "You want to join the caravan and borrow their strength to reach Shang clan city?"She pondered over it for a while, increasingly feeling this was a great method.First of all, earth hearing ear grass was destroyed; they lacked investigative Gu which meant it would be quite troublesome if they were to travel by themselves.Secondly, they had committed crimes, the Bai clan was definitely chasing after them without rest. Joining the caravan was a great way to cover up their tracks.Finally, they had breath concealment gu and were able to disguise as mortals. The caravans would definitely take precautions against foreign Gu Masters, but definitely wouldn't have much vigilance against mortals.Even if they were to be discovered, there wouldn't be any problems; when that times comes, with a rank three and a rank two cultivations, they could still make an escape.The heads of the caravans normally possessed rank three cultivation. Those that were rank four like Jia Fu were quite rare."But even if we disguise as mortals, could we just casually enter the caravan?" Bai Ning Bing thought about it, but still had this worry.Fang Yuan chuckled: "Of course, we won't be able to just casually join a caravan, we would need a guarantor even as mortals. But I reckon the old village head can resolve this problem for us."Only then did Bai Ning Bing felt relieved and let go of her worry."I was worried for nothing. Indeed, with this guy's craftiness, how could he not have thought of this loophole?" She thought."Alright. I will be able to break through to rank two initial stage after seven days. And I think it is time to use the iron bone Gu and jade bone Gu."Bai Ning Bing's mouth twitched before saying lightly: "I already told you before to use them, but you didn't agree and just nurtured them vainly for so many days, wasting so much spring milk."Fang Yuan heaved a deep sigh: "Youngster, you are ignorant and thus fearless of how much pain is involved in this. Tonight, we won't do dual cultivation, I need to properly rest my mind before I use the iron bone Gu tomorrow night."Next day, Fang and Bai went to work the fields in the eastern end of the village like their agreement.Fang Yuan intentionally worked from morning till sunset. HIs body contained enormous strength, this bit of work wasn't even worthy to be mentioned, but he could already hear other farmers taking notice of him and even looking up to him.At night, he sat cross legged on the bed and concentrated on transferring primeval essence into the iron bone Gu within his aperture.This Gu was like a bone, with rounded and smooth ends, and slender mid-area. The whole bone was jet-black as if it was made from iron.This Gu was a rank three Gu and it required instant consumption of great amounts of primeval essence to be activated.Fang Yuan was just a rank one Gu Master and shouldn't have been able to use it. But after Bai Ning Bing transferred a lot of his snow silver primeval essence,he was barely qualified to activate it.The transferred snow silver primeval essence was almost completely used up in transferring to the iron bone Gu. This gu first let out dark radiance before immediately melting down into iron liquid; it flew out from the aperture and merged with Fang Yuan's skeleton.Pain!An intense and inconceivable pain!Fang Yuan felt like his heart was branded by a scalding hot branding iron, anywhere the iron liquid passed through in the bones felt like it was being roasted in burning coals.This kind of pain penetrated even the soul; Fang Yuan's face distorted under this pain.Immediately following, drops of sweat began to fall from Fang Yuan's forehead, and in the next moment, his whole body was drenched with sweat.After a long while, Fang Yuan couldn't endure the pain any longer and let out a groan.Bai Ning Bing's expression changed.Because of the darkness, she hadn't been able to clearly see Fang Yuan's earlier expression and situation, but from this oppressed groan, she judged this pain was no small matter!She knew what insane willpower Fang Yuan had; he hadn't let out a word even when his whole body was covered with flames.But after using the iron bone Gu, he let out such a sound; from this, one could tell how intense the pain was.Among the Gu Master's cultivation three big aspects of nurture, use and refine; in regards to 'use', some Gu were extremely peculiar. Iron bone Gu was one of those, giving extremely intense pain when used. Unfortunately, one needed to endure this pain, and if in case they lost consciousness in the middle, all their efforts would be wasted.Historically, many famous Gu Masters had died from pain of using Gu like the iron bone Gu.Fang Yuan clenched his teeth and persevered, the unbearable pain continued to flood in; he involuntarily let out several groan like snorts from his nose.In the end, his whole body was almost paralyzed from the pain, he couldn't even exert any more strength in his jaws.When all of his bones were dyed a layer of black by the molten iron, he finally relaxed, and almost instantly, a burst of dizziness attacked him; his eyes blacked out and he started losing consciousness.However, he forcibly persevered, and after taking few deep breaths, he slowly laid down."Is it over?" Bai Ning Bing's voice came from the darkness."Naturally." Fang Yuan sucked in cold air, his voice was hoarse but stable, "Go to sleep, we still need to work tomorrow.""Ok." Bai Ning Bing felt greatly disappointed when she realized Fang Yuan was still able to be clear-headed. If he had fainted, she might have had a chance to get hold of the Yang Gu."No, that isn't right. Yang Gu is inside Fang Yuan's aperture, how can I take it out without any special means?" Thinking of this, she let go her dark thoughts.The next day, Fang Yuan didn't go to work, instead staying in bed.The intense pain was still lingering around and tormenting him. If he made even a slight movement, the violent pain that emerged felt like a chainsaw was sawing at his nerves!The pain was temporarily dominating him and putting him into an extremely weak state. Let alone farm work, he was not able to even leave the bed and walk.At this instance, Bai Ning Bing realized that Fang Yuan had forcibly kept up a facade last night.Resultantly, she went to the farm and did the work alone.By evening, Fang Yuan was able to make some movements. Bai Ning Bing refused to believe him and used the Jade Bone Gu.Obviously, she found out the absurd amount of pain Fang Yuan had suffered!As prideful as she was, she couldn't help groaning in pain and even grabbing the bed sheets.However, even though her whole body was trembling and shaking, she was able to persist till the end. An intense dizziness attacked her immediately after her success; she fell down on the bed and instantly lost her consciousness.

Chapter 233. A deep misunderstanding | Reverend Insanity

On the second day, it was Bai Ning Bing's turn to lie on the bed, in so much pain that she could not move at all.Fang Yuan had recovered mostly, going off the plow the fields at the east of the hamlet.The old lady went into the room, asking in concern.Bai Ning Bing kept saying she was fine, that she was tired after a day of physical work, and that she only needed to rest for a day.The old lady gave an understanding smile: "Indeed you were tired , your actions these past two days were slightly loud, I could hear it all.""What?" Bai Ning Bing could not understand it."Young lady, stop keeping it from me, I could tell a mile away!" The old lady laughed.Bai Ning Bing's pupils shrunk, did her identity get exposed, how can that be? At once, a deep killing intent arose in her, but she could not bear to do it.She could cold-heartedly watch the Bai clan siblings burn to death, but that is because the Bai clan was destined to be their enemies. Although she was proud, she was not merciless like Fang Yuan, towards people who had helped her, she would not be able to act.The old lady in front of her was such a case, and so was the former Bai clan leader (from Bai Ning Bing's clan).The old lady held no suspicions towards Bai Ning Bing, she grabbed her hand and patted: "Young lady, I can tell these few days, how can guys have such a butt and waist like yours! No wonder you wear a straw hat, and do not like talking. Although I am old, I am still a woman, we women have a talent compared to guys, that is we are meticulous.""Ah?" Bai Ning Bing did not know what to say.The old lady was enthusiastic, speaking in an understanding tone: "I understand you, as a women, dressing up like this outside to protect yourself, otherwise accidents might occur."Bai Ning Bing was speechless.She hated people using the word "woman" to trigger her nerves. But towards this enthusiastic and simple old lady, she was very helpless.The old lady smiled until her eyes were a straight line, suddenly suppressing her voice: "You two must be a couple right. You have been too loud these days, I could even hear you from far away. I don't want to say this but, those actions, you have to restrain yourselves."This was simply a nightmare!Bai Ning Bing's expression froze, like she was zapped by lightning."Auntie, it is not what you think." A long while later, she barely squeezed out this sentence, her expression extremely stiff." Sigh , why are you so shy, its nothing, you can tell me everything. I've lived for so many years, what have I not seen!" The granny winked, laughing until her teeth were showing.And then her gaze shifted to the bed, subconsciously or not.Bai Ning Bing followed her gaze, and just wanted to kill herself.But honestly, the bedsheets were torn by her…Next, the old lady said a few things to her, but Bai Ning Bing's brain was in a mess, not listening to a single word.In the afternoon, when Fang Yuan came back to eat, the old lady blocked him at the door, kindly reminding: "Lad, your wife has told me already. I know youngsters are in heat but you have to take care of your own bodies, and even more concern for your wife. Remember my words okay?""Hah?" Fang Yuan opened his mouth wide, not able to react to what he has just heard.The old lady clicked her tongue, using a dissatisfied and helpless tone: "Everything about you is good, except that you are too simple. Being so honest, you'll lose out eventually!"If Gu Yue clan, Tie divine investigator, or Bai Hua and Bai Sheng heard these words, they might jump out of their graves.Fang Yuan stood on the spot in daze, suddenly light flashed across his eyes, and he finally got it."Oh… that, hehe…" He scratched his head sheepishly, nodding: "Auntie, you are right, I get it."At the dinner table, he saw Bai Ning Bing.Bai Ning Bing looked at him coldly, her body almost emitting cold air.The corners of Fang Yuan's eyes had been twitching non stop.This matter was a reminder to Fang Yuan as well.Fang Yuan can easily portray any role, that is because he has a rich experience and broad horizon. But Bai Ning Bing was not, because even after disguise, she still has her flaws.Thankfully, this flaw is small, and in this world, whenever a women travelled, she would definitely dress up as a male, to reduce the potential danger she might encounter.Even though this misunderstanding was very awkward, Fang Yuan had to admit that this can better conceal their true identities.Bai Ning Bing's mood became worse.That night, she asked Fang Yuan again, when he can return the Yang Gu to her.Fang Yuan could only answer, that once he reached rank three, he would return it to her.Bai Ning Bing snorted, she understood Fang Yuan, she would rather die that trust Fang Yuan's words! But now she could not take the Yang Gu by force yet."When I get to Shang clan city, I have to get at least a poison vow Gu, three hand Gu, or even seize Gu would work too…" Thinking so, Bai Ning Bing was even more anxious about getting to Shang clan city.Other than dual cultivation, Fang Yuan's cultivation has a new chapter added to it.That is, using the crocodile strength Gu to increase his strength.Speaking of which, being able to feed the crocodile strength Gu to this date, was out of Fang Yuan's expectations.The ones to thank were the Bai clan. It was due to getting large amount of crocodile meat from them that Fang Yuan was able to raise it to now.Otherwise, it would have starved to death long ago.Crocodile strength Gu was like black and white boar Gu, they permanently added strength to the Gu Master's body.But before rank six, a Gu Master still has a mortal body. Like a bowl, it cannot contain a lake, a Gu Master's body has its limits eventually.That is also why Fang Yuan could not use the crocodile strength Gu before. But now, he had obtained the iron bones Gu and jade bones Gu from Bai Gu mountain.These two Gu were expenditure type Gu. Each had their merits, and their values were about the same, able to permanently improve the Gu Master's physique.Choosing which Gu decides the progression route of the Gu Master.When Gu Masters use Gu, there were much to consider. Some Gu could not be used together, while some complemented each other and produced greater effect when used together.Bai Ning Bing once used the ice muscles Gu, thus her body was made of ice muscles. Ice muscles stopped perspiration, thus she cannot use a Gu like "blood sweat Gu" in the future.And if she uses the jade bones Gu, her original mortal bones would become jade bones. Ice muscles and jade bones, it was a superb combination.Each person has their own needs, ice muscles jade bones might suit Bai Ning Bing, but it does not suit Fang Yuan.Considering the legendary Gu at Shang clan city, Fang Yuan plans, he wanted to form the most effective " steel tendon, iron bones ."Being able to get the iron bones Gu on Bai Gu mountain, it was a perfect scenario for him.After using the iron bones Gu, Fang Yuan's bones were tough as iron now. With his body foundation improved, he can now add the strength of one crocodile in addition to the strength of two boars.His strength continued to rise.Seven days passed in a flash.According to their initial agreement, Fang Yuan got a cart of purple maple leaves from the old village head.These goods were very cheap, the entire cart could not even sell for two primeval stones. But this was not Fang Yuan's objective, he only wanted to hide his identity and follow and get closer to the caravan.When the caravan arrived, it was three days later than the old village head expected.Only on the ninth day did they appear.The originally peaceful town boomed with life again.The caravan's size was huge.Bus-sized black skin fat beetles carried goods and people as they crawled slowly.Beside them, colored ostriches dragged the dray. Mountain large spiders wrapped boxes and containers on their bodies, winged snakes meandered, and toads carried large bundles on them.These stead-type Gu, formed the main body of the caravan. Other than that, there were large numbers of mortals pulling cows, horses, or carrying bamboo bags."This year's caravan is finally here!""Everytime I see these snakes, i get a little scared.""Lord Gu Masters are really amazing, they can make these ruthless snakes so tame.""I hope my cured meat can be sold this time, I don't expect a high price, I'll be satisfied with just a few primeval stone fragments.""Yeah, our luck is not as good as the outsider…""The village head is too biased, that is an entire cart of purple maple leaves, to think he gave them away like that!"The villagers made many temporary stalls at the village entrance, as Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing dragged a cart of purple maple leaves, mixed among them.Among these people, some were all locals, others were from other villages, carrying goods with them.Places with people will have competition for benefits.Fang and Bai, even though they stay at the village and plowed fields for seven days, their cart of purple maple leaves attracted many jealous gazes into them.Fang Yuan of course, did not pay them any attention.He was secretly observing the members of the approaching caravan.This caravan is a mixed one, with many different clan forces among them gathered together. It was not like the Jia clan caravan, with Jia clan as the main force. This caravan, other than the selected leader, there were also a number of vice leaders, like a alliance army.This was good news to Fang Yuan.The more complex the structure of the caravan, the easier it is for him to mix in."Hey, how much are you selling this cart of purple maple leaves?" Someone quickly came to ask for prices."Two and a half primeval stones." Fang Yuan said."Two and a half? You might as well go rob!" The person stared with wide opened eyes."Buy it or leave!" Bai Ning Bing said at the side."Hmph!" The person waved his sleeves and walked off.If they really sold this cart, what excuse would Fang and Bai use to join the caravan? Thus, they purposely denied three potential buyers and deterred them.Until evening, they still did not manage to sell the cart of purple maple leaves. Instead, others managed to sell most of their medicine grass, cured meat, milk etc.After all, the caravan was huge, they needed to replenish these goods.Many people saw Fang and Bai as a joke, and some even start to mock them. Some kind people reminded them to reduce the price appropriately.But Fang and Bai paid them all no heed.Before night time, Fang Yuan pretended to be dejected, dragging this cart of purple maple leaves back to the old village head's house.The old village head asked, and sighed: "You two, I told you that two primeval stones were already a high price. We can sell it even for one and a half. Why didn't you listen to me? Adamantly selling at two and a half!"

"You have to know, there are lots of purple maple leaves on Zi You mountain. Those people buy it because it is more convenient for them, and they can save time from picking them. Sigh, it's pointless to tell you now. Nevermind, nevermind…."The old village head continuously sighed.Fang Yuan bobbed his head: "We just wanted to sell it for more primeval stones, one is to recoup the cost, the other is to take care of our parents. Who would have thought that after so much effort, it could not be sold."He sounded anxious, a hint of crying in his speech.Hearing his words, the old village head's heart softened, the grudge in his heart dispersing by more than half.Fang Yuan said again: "No worries lord village head, I have decided to follow the caravan tomorrow. By lowering the price, I'm sure we can sell it eventually.""Follow the caravan? Who allowed you to follow the caravan?" The old village head stared with wide opened eyes.Fang Yuan said as a matter of fact: "I saw many mortals in the caravan. If they can follow, why can we?"The old village head rested his head on his arm: "Those are the family servants of the lord Gu Masters! You think simply anyone can just follow them? What if people with ill intentions mix in among them?""Ah?!" Fang Yuan's mouth opened wide, stunned on the spot: "Then how? The caravan is leaving tomorrow."" Sigh …" The old man sighed deeply: "Nevermind, I'll help you to the end. Tomorrow I'll beg them to let you into the caravan, it'll all be up to your fate."The sun had just rose, and there were still a few stars visible in the light blue sky. Looking afar, Zi You mountain is enveloped in a dark purple colour, peaceful and mysterious.After a night of rest, the caravan had started loading up their goods already."Inspect the goods once more!""Tie the ropes tightly, if anything drops during the journey, we will punish you with a hundred beatings.""Quick, quick, quick, feed our black skin beetles till full."Gu Masters ordered and sent their family servants into a busy state. Some had bad temper, holding a whip in their hands, whoever moved slowly would be whipped. Some loved their Gu worms, and fed them personally."Lord Chen." The old village head bowed, paying respects to one of the vice leaders in the caravan."Oh, old Zhang, I am busy here, just tell me what you have to say." This Chen Gu Master said."It is like this. I have two juniors, doing small business…" Before the old village head finished, Chen Gu Master suddenly shouted: "Chen Xin, why are you in a daze? Go and feed the winged snakes, you think those servants can feed them properly? That snake of yours had already swallowed three servants these few days!""Yes clan elder." Chen Xin was grabbed, raising his head and said.But Chen Gu Master did not let go of him, chiding again: "How many times have I told you, call me clan elder in the village, in the caravan, you have to address me as vice leader.""Yes, yes, yes Lord vice leader." Chen Xin answered, running away swiftly."This rascal…" Chen Gu Master scolded under his breath in anger, before turning to the old village head: "What did you say earlier? Oh! You want me to vouch for your two juniors to enter the caravan?""Lord is truly wise, that is the case." Old village head quickly answered."That…" Chen Gu Master purposely hummed.The old village head was turned into a Gu Master by him, because this route needed for the caravan to pass by, he needed someone who worked for him.For caravans travelling, those villages were crucial, but the mortal hamlets along the way cannot be ignored as well, they were equally important.The caravans had many people and much to do, much living resources would be quickly expended and need to be replenished along the way. There are also servants, when they encounter danger, some servants die and manpower becomes lacking. The caravan will have to select some mortals in those hamlets to recruit.Speaking of which, among Chen Gu Master's family servants, manpower was starting to feel lacking, after all mortals had cheap lives, they were just a type of expendable resources that can talk and move."Henceforth, when I cross by Zi You mountain, I will still need to make use of old Zhang, if I don't accede to his request, wouldn't that discourage him? Although I am lacking manpower now, I cannot agree so easily. I have to wait, and sell this favor at a good price."Chen Gu Master was still considering, when a messenger Gu Master from the caravan came running.There was a stack of paper in his hand, as he ran and shouted: "All members take note, there is a new arrest warrant, there is a new arrest warrant!"He shouted as he pasted a piece of paper on a black skin fat beetle's body."New arrest warrant? From which clan? How much bounty, retrieve it for me." Chen Gu Master was interested."Yes, vice leader." The messenger Gu Master quickly handed over a piece of paper.Chen Gu Master looked: "Oh, an arrest warrant from Bai clan. As long as information is accurate, they will give a thousand primeval stones? So much!"Chen Gu Master's eyes shone, gaining interest in the matter.There were two prices on the warrant, one was information price, the other was killing price.Information priced at a thousand primeval stones, normally it is used for a wanted demonic cultivator that has made a name for himself. But this poster only showed two youngsters, with proper features, and one was even very beautiful.One male one female, these were two newbies."One is a rank one Gu Master, the other is rank three. With information price of a thousand primeval stones, and killing price of five thousand eight thousand primeval stones. Pfft, it seems that Bai clan hates these two demonic rascals to the core. Hehe…" Chen Gu Master laughed at their predicament, so long as it is not his Chen family.What he did not know was, these two demonic rascals were near him.The old village head took a look at the arrest warrant, and a chill came from within his heart."Gu Master's world is really dangerous, such a beautiful youngster, is actually a criminal demonic cultivator! Let's just hope that they are not coming to our village.""Alright, seeing how you've worked hard for all these years old Zhang, I will accede to your request." Chen Gu Master said."Ah, thank you lord! Lord, I will call them here now." The old village head was overjoyed.Chen Gu Master waved his hand: "No need, I'm very busy. Just get them to report to Chen Xin."Towards two mortals, he held no interest. At the same time, he did not connect them to the arrest warrant in his hand, after all this is the Bai clan's request, and they were thousands of li away. Chen Gu Master subconsciously felt that he at a very safe distance away.This was a very common thinking.Even on modern Earth, when murder cases happen in cities, no matter how ruthless and vile it is, other cities do not feel much danger, even if transportation is so advanced.Other than that, they also have a fluke mind mentality.In this vast world, where people lived everywhere, how would these two demonic scoundrels come to my caravan? Then I would be way too unlucky, it's impossible!People always tend to think that unlucky events would not occur on themselves.Moreover, many people in arrest warrants are extremely vicious and cruel characters, attracting people's attention. Two newbies like Fang and Bai, one rank three and one rank one, what could they amount to?Chen Xin saw the two of them but did not think of the warrant at all.Fang and Bai's image had changed completely, not just the disfigured Fang Yuan, but after these days of practising, she also started to become more natural.Chen Xin lost interest immediately, especially Fang Yuan's appearance made him disgusted.He was only rank one, while Fang Yuan rose to rank two several days ago.Chen Xin observed them carelessly, and did not feel any Gu Master aura, thus calling an old attendant and getting him to arrange Fang and Bai's jobs."What are your names?" The old attendant asked.Only at this time did someone ask for their names."My name is Hei Tu, my wife is called Bai Yun." Fang Yuan casually said."Female?" The old attendant frowned.He stared at Bai Ning Bing and looked, seeing her dark skin appearance and her dazed look, she's called Bai Yun 1 ? This Hei Tu is also really ugly!"Women are trouble, you have to be more careful. If something happens, don't blame me for not reminding you guys!" The old attendant said."I know, this cart beside me is filled with purple maple leaves. My wife is staying on the cart and taking care of the goods, I do not want much interaction with other people." Fang Yuan said."Hmph, good that you understand."The old attendant arranged a physical task for the two, to move goods, but for Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing, it is no issue at all, but Bai Ning Bing had to pretend and act like she was out of breath constantly, causing her mental fatigue.Not far away, some family servants were slacking, resting at a corner.Their gazes were directed towards Fang and Bai."Brother Qiang, there's two newcomers. Some people saw them bringing in their private goods! That's an entire cart of purple maple leaves." A thin family servant said excitedly.Depriving newcomers, it was the ritual that the caravan old timers often did.Brother Qiang squatted on the ground, squinting: "I see it. Skinny monkey, go test them out."His body was strong as an ox, although his muscles were developed, he was not a rash person.In this world where Gu Masters ruled above all, the strength of a mortal is nothing spectacular. Being able to become the most important person in this small circle, he had some wits after all.Skinny monkey sighed, under everyone's supervision, he got near to Fang Yuan."Hey brother, where are you from? Others call me brother monkey, from now on we will be working together, I hope we can work together amicably." Skinny monkey forced out a smile.Fang Yuan gave him a glance, only saying a word: "Scram."Skinny monkey's eyes expanded as he showed a look of rage.Fang Yuan did not look at him, but continued moving his goods. He had worked in the caravan in his previous life, extremely clear of such "rituals".In plain words, skinny monkey was testing water, using words to test out Fang Yuan's identity, if he did not have any backing, they would work together and bully him, depriving him of some benefits.But the truth is, not only are humans like this, Gu Masters were the same, they just did it more elegantly.Moving alone and risking their lives, it included fighting with wild beasts. Moving together in groups, it was competing with their own kind.At places with benefits, there were conflicts. There is only so much space after all, everyone wants to live better, and have more room to themselves, what can they do?They can only invade other people's spaces.Skinny monkey had not expected Fang Yuan to not give face, thus he was stunned at the spot, staring intently at Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan did not give a thought about such a character. Mortals were cheap as grass, even if one or two were killed, so what?As long as the goods were still delivered, the Gu Masters in charge would not care.Even if they did, Fang Yuan had back up methods to resolve this issue.All in all, trying to provoke Fang Yuan, these family servants were courting death."What, why are you not scramming, you want me to chase you away?" Fang Yuan gave skinny monkey a cold look again.Skinny monkey snorted, but did not explode in anger, instead taking his leave.Such a strong attitude, it caused brother Qiang to feel threatened: Did these two have some sort of background? Otherwise how could they be so arrogant? I had better check up on their backgrounds first.

Chapter 235. Shang Xin Ci | Reverend Insanity

The caravan travelled for the whole day, and chose a valley to camp for the night.The day went pretty good for the caravan as they only came across three small beast groups.They killed two groups and chased one away. Calculating the losses and the profits they made from killing the beast groups, they had made some profits instead.The setting sun dyed the clouds with colors; red, orange, grayish red, purple… there were all kinds of colors. The clouds also formed into all kinds of shapes; appearing like a roaring lion one moment, or galloping pegasus the next moment, or a blossoming sea of flowers.The multicolored sunlight shone upon the valley which resembled a jade-green gem. After the caravan finished all the arrangements for the night, there was a certain area in the caravan that was a cacophony of noises."Come, have a look, today's freshly slaughtered beast meat!""Buttermilk, fragrant and sweet buttermilk…""Only ten pieces of clothing remaining, stock clearance sale!"Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing were also among the crowd.They dragged their handcart and occupied an area; at their left was a stall selling wild herbs and at their right was a stall selling milk.Bai Ning Bing was rather interested in all this as she looked all around her: "To think there would be a small bazaar like this in the caravan.""If there is consumption, there will be transactions, and the consumption will thus stimulate marketplaces." Fang Yuan answered.Bai Ning Bing's eyes flashed, these words were truly incisive.She looked at Fang Yuan: "Are you planning on selling these purple maple leaves?"Fang Yuan slightly nodded his head: "We have already entered the caravan so we can just conveniently dispose of them now. Keeping them with us will only attract the greed of some scoundrels."What's more, it wasn't easy to preserve purple maple leaves.They had it for just over a day, and already the purple maple leaves on Fang Yuan's cart were showing signs of withering. And as time continued to pass, their value will only get lesser and lesser.Of course, Fang Yuan didn't care about measly two primeval stones.However, just throwing them off wouldn't be in accord to their current identities, and would only serve to raise suspicions."The small bazaar in the caravan is divided into two types. The one we are dealing in is only the transactions between mortals and it will be held every day. Another type is the transactions between Gu Masters, which is held once a week." Fang Yuan said.Bai Ning Bing's blue eyes – covered by the straw hat – slightly brightened: "It would be helpful to us if we could join the small bazaar held for Gu Masters. Shang Clan City is still a great distance away; if not anything else, we need an investigative Gu to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.""I have already planned this out but it's still too early." Fang Yuan confidently smiled as he thought of a certain thing in his tusita flower.The two were discussing softly, when a male servant walked over while staggering.He was wearing shabby and torn clothes, his face filled with bloodstains; a clear resemblance to beggars. As he walked to the stall beside Fang Yuan's, and saw the pots filled with milk, he swallowed his saliva: "Brother, could you give me some milk to drink?""Go away. Don't hinder my business!" The milk seller impatiently waved his hands.This male servant, helplessly, walked away towards Fang and Bai's cart: "Two brothers…."He hadn't even finished saying his sentence, when Fang Yuan walked to the front and kicked him, shouting with a vicious tone: "Screw off."The male servant fell down to the ground, his ragged clothes were stained by the black muddy soil. His previous wounds were stimulated by the kick, making him grimace in pain.He climbed up with great difficulty, and looked at Fang Yuan with hatred: "Good, I will remember this, we are all mortals, everyone has a bad day. Hmph…"Fang Yuan's expression turned cold as he raised his feet again.Bam.This servant fell to the ground again."Dare to say one more word?" Fang Yuan stared down at this servant fiercely.The servant gave a vicious glare at Fang Yuan as he crawled up, but he didn't dare to squeak a word.However, just as he stood up, he was again met with Fang Yuan's kick."I don't like your expression." Fang Yuan indifferently spoke with his arms crossed at his chest.The servant lowered his head and crawled up silently, not daring to look at Fang Yuan again. He didn't continue begging anymore and walked far away.Looking at his departing figure, Bai Ning Bing asked in bewilderment: "Strange, how can there be a beggar in the caravan?""This is normal. This servant must have made a mistake or his master is in bad mood today. In short, he was beaten by a Gu Master and also had his meal cancelled." Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders, his gaze, however, coldly glanced towards a corner.In a corner, three to four sturdily built servants were catching new faces, bullying the newcomers.After noticing the situation at Fang Yuan's, they retrieved their gazes and looked at other targets.Mortals had cheap lives, their status were extremely low, and their survival was as difficult as walking on steel wire. Inside the caravan, the Gu Masters could easily beat them to death and take their lives like cutting grass. Anyway, mortals like them could be replenished easily in the hamlets along the way.Every time the caravans came across danger, there would be large numbers of dying mortals.Besides these, there were also secret and almost desperate struggles between the mortals themselves. Fang Yuan had just arrived at the caravan, but two groups already wanted to find troubles for him.He, naturally, wasn't afraid of these trouble, and could easily resolve them, but he would rather resolve them earlier.Of course, there were some mortals who lived beautiful lives.Most of them were those with backgrounds or were relatives and friends of Gu Masters; using this identity to do as they liked.After the beggar walked away, two groups of mortals approached Fang Yuan.The head of one group was an old man with sharp eyes. After asking Fang Yuan for the price, he immediately lowered the price to a quarter. Fang Yuan reckoned this old geezer's identity should be the chief supervisor in charge of arranging the tasks for the servants.The head of another group was a woman. She was actually wearing silk clothings and her eyes gave off seductive glances. Fang Yuan immediately understood she must be a sex tool of a certain or some male Gu Masters.The two heads were both accompanied by a large number of people, and although they were mortals, their status were extremely evident.They lowered the price to a very low amount, with the intention of buying low and selling high. They had some wealth and were not like most of the servants who could not even be sure if they could get a meal that day.While Fang Yuan had no need for this cart of purple maple leaves, in order to match with his current identity and not let the cat out of the bag, he refused the lowered prices of these two people.The old man left with pleasant countenance but there was threat hidden in his tone. The woman just walked away while cursing and swearing."I will sell this cart of rotten leaves to the next person that comes to bid." Just when Fang Yuan was pondering over his next action, the small bazaar suddenly went in an uproar.Some people excitedly cheered and shouted."The kind-hearted lady of Zhang clan has arrived!""Lady Zhang is compassionate and kind, she is a fairy incarnate!""She is a really good person, I won't go hungry today…""What's happening?" Bai Ning Bing surveyed the situation and saw a green image appearing through the entrance of the bazaar.Fang Yuan was also bewildered: What's up with this ?"Lady Zhang!"Fairy Zhang!!" A group of servants flocked over to the woman, and instantly, the bazaar entrance was crowded.These people were mostly the ones who were punished by Gu Masters and didn't have anything to eat now. The man who Fang Yuan kicked earlier was also among them, extending his neck and arms."Don't be in a hurry everyone, there is plenty of it, slow down." The green clothed girl said.Her voice was gentle and soft, and was immediately submerged in the shouts of the crowd."Keep your mouths shut! Line up and come one by one. Anyone that dares to rush over or shout, will immediately be slashed by me!" Suddenly, a thunderous voice resounded within the little bazaar.An old but tough Gu Master appeared in everyone's sights. And as he gazed at everyone with his ferocious gaze, the noisy little bazaar immediately went silent.This was the authority of a Gu Master!There was no one who didn't believe he wouldn't do what he just said. As a Gu Master, so long as their mood was bad, what was killing off two or three mortals considered?The crowd pushed and shoved each other, and soon lined up in a neat long row.In front of the queue, the green clothed girl held a basket of steamed buns and distributed them.The whole little bazaar was absolutely silent.Countless gazes looked at the green clothed girl with respect, worship and even love.Bai Ning Bing was curious and asked the stall owner to the side: "Who is she?""What, you don't even know of Lady Zhang Xin Ci? You should be newcomers, right?""Zhang Xin Ci?" Fang Yuan asked, his brows tightly locked, "Speak up everything you know!"The stall owner recalled how ruthlessly Fang Yuan had kicked the servant earlier; he didn't dare to conceal anything: "Lady Zhang is is also one of the deputy leaders of our caravan. She doesn't have aptitude towards cultivation and is a mortal like us. However, she has a strong background in her clan, the Gu Master beside her is her bodyguard. I have lived for so long, but truthfully, I have never seen such a kind-hearted person; Lady Zhang brings some food almost every evening for the starved servants. She comes even if the weather is bad… Sigh, heaven is unfair, they prevented such a person from cultivating."Bai Ning Bing nodded her head and smiled, saying towards Fang Yuan: "Truly, all sorts of people exist in this world."Fang Yuan didn't respond.Bai Ning Bing glanced at Fang Yuan in confusion, and saw something wrong with Fang Yuan's expression.The latter was gazing fixedly at the green clothed girl, his brows almost furrowed into a knot.The green clothed girl had silky jet black hair draping over her shoulders, accentuating her beauty. Her eyebrows were like thin like smoke, her eyes as clear as the moon. Her skin was snow-white, and her lips were pink and tender.She had no makeup on her face, looking soft and gentle. The slight smile she gave from time to time when distributing the steamed buns, was pure and innocent.She was wearing green clothing and had a fresh and plain aura. She was elegant like an orchid, graceful like a lotus and gentle like water. In terms of looks, she was on the same level as Bai Ning Bing, but she could be said to be once in a thousand years beauty.If a woman has fine appearance, they can only be considered to be good-looking, just like common beverages. Only with disposition, can they be called beautiful, like well-aged liquor.No doubt, this green clothed girl was an absolute beauty.However, no matter how beautiful you were, how moving your disposition was, they were all pointless in Fang Yuan's eyes!Fang Yuan was not looking at her appearance; no matter how beautiful and what disposition one had, if you cut open their skin and flesh, they were all skeletons.However, he was baffled as he thought of a certain figure: "Isn't this girl Shang Xin Ci?"Shang Xin Ci was one of the young masters of the Shang clan.Within a clan, the clan leader's sons and daughters were all called 'young masters'. Only the heirs who are able to obtain the elders' approval, could be called 'young clan leader'.With her identity as the young master of the Shang clan, Shang Xin Ci was a girl with good fortune.Everyone knew the Shang clan members were greedy and treacherous, but this Shang Xin Ci was the only exception. She was soft and weak, didn't like fighting, and was very lenient; she was the worst businessman of the Shang clan.When she did business, she not only made frequent losses, but was also frequently cheated by others. She easily trusted others, and the crucial point was she didn't learn after being cheated and would continue to be cheated by others.As the young master of the Shang clan, she was once taken as a disgrace of the Shang Clan and was someone no one thought highly of. However, considering that she possessed the bloodline of the Shang clan leader, she was not expelled from the clan.She didn't discriminate mortals but instead felt strongly sympathetic towards them, giving care and assistance. Several times, she had even bought off all the slaves in auction, and was severely reprimanded by the Shang clan leader.However, fate was truly wonderful, in the end, she became the head of the Shang Clan!
