13 The First Harvest

Wisdom path has a focus on; thought, will, and emotion. This path can also be used to generate intuition on other paths.

The imagination path only focuses on one thing, that was generating new intuition and ideas. Imagination is unlimited, the only limit is the understanding and experience of the user himself.

Since Imagination Path focuses on this, then a quasi-Master is sufficient to generate intuition over other paths, and this is not against the laws of the world of Gu. To produce the initiative one must have a Master level attainment.

By using the Imagination Path, Fang Yuan does not go against the laws of this world in generating intuition. This is in accordance with The Great Dao.

Fang Yuan thought about a possible Imagination path, but in the end he didn't notice. In the end he chose to believe that he had False attainment.

"Maybe by understanding this world better, I will find out the secret behind the False attainment level."

Imagine that Fang Yuan unconsciously raised the Imagination Path without having the words to start it, and when he became aware of the Imagination Path, he might have already reached Grandmaster or Great grandmaster.

To increase attainment level, one had to understand The Great Dao, in other words refine Gu, feed Gu, and use Gu.

Gu are shards and fragments from The Great dao, Mortal Gu are shards and Immortal Gu are fragments.

By coming into contact with Gu one can understand The Great Dao.

The next morning came, the sun had risen and was illuminating all parts of the mountain.

In the clan pavilion.

The clan leader, academy elder, Chi Lian, Mo Chen, and several other elders were gathering. They were here because of problems regarding the future of the Gu Yue clan.

Dong Tu, Fang Yuan, and Fang Zheng entered the room, after saluting Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng moved away from Dong Tu who was left alone in front of the elders.

Dong Tu's face was not dark like yesterday, he had found an answer that made his heart restless. It was not the Fang Zheng that the clan leader would take care of and eventually the source of his wealth would be taken by Fang Zheng.

But that was not the reason his heart was restless, it was the fact that the Fang Yuan coiled around his neck as a viper that made his heart restless.

Fang Yuan looked at the situation with a blank gaze, as if he did not care about the outcome of this meeting.

Fang Zheng saw this situation with enthusiasm, eventually he and his brother would have a better life.

Dong Tu started the conversation by stating that he had mistreated Fang Zheng and Fang Yuan. He seemed to regret his actions.

But no one in this room took Dong Tu seriously with his words. But the truth is that he did regret what he did, especially what he did to Fang Yuan. If he didn't bother Fang Yuan, maybe his heart wouldn't be restless.

Dong Tu has finished saying everything he wants to say, now it's the clan leader's turn.

Some elders had expressions of displeasure with the success of the clan leader in recruiting Fang Zheng and strengthening his faction, some were happy that the clan leader faction became stronger, because this would make this situation more peaceful.

The clan leader faction focused on the prosperity of the clan, while the Mo faction and Chi faction focused on their respective benefits.

After that Dong Tu left the room, he doesn't have any business here anymore.

"Fang Zheng!"

The clan leader calls for Fang Zheng.

Fag Zheng walked towards the clan leader, the other elders saw Fang Zheng who was nervous and also happy, finally he could escape from Dong Tu.

"You have heard the conversation earlier, from now on you will be under my guidance. You just need to move to my place, your stuff will be taken care of by the servants. "

"Thank you, Clan leader."

Fang Zheng gave his deepest respect.

The elders saw this, they thought that Fang Zheng was a good seed. Because he respected the clan leader, this proved that Fang Zheng did not hate the Gu Yue clan, he only hated Dong Tu.

Seeing this, the clan leader felt a little guilty. He had made a deal with Chi Lian to give him Fang Yuan.

The clan leader cleared his throat before starting to speak again.

"Fang Zheng, you are indeed a gift that heaven sent to this clan"

Fang Zheng looked happy because of this compliment, he looked at Fang Yuan like saying, big brother look, our old life is over, now we can start a new life.

But Fang Yuan didn't seem to have changed at all, he just saw Fang Zheng as usual.

Fang Zheng was not discouraged by this, he was still aware of his mistake about last night's incident.

Clan leader saw Fang Zheng who saw Fang Yuan, he must say this now. But, he had to say it.

"Fang Zheng, I've actually discussed this matter with Elder Chi Lian. Your brother, Fang Yuan will be taken care of by him and you will be taken care of by myself."

Fang Zheng, who heard this, was shocked. 'Didn't the clan leader say that he would take care of his big brother and himself?' It was written on Fang Zheng's face.  You could also read something similar on Fang Yuan's face.

His acting is flawless, he is even still in his doll-like character.

Fang Zheng screamed in shock and panic: "Clan leader, what do you mean by this?!!! Didn't you say you would take care of me and my brother?"

Fang Zheng didn't want to part with the only family he had. This was the result of Fang Yuan's efforts so far. Fang Yuan also wants to speak to his objections, but he still holds it.

"Calm down Fang Zheng, you can still meet your brother, you are just a different house with him"

Fang Yuan can't miss this opportunity.

"Clan leader, you have said that you will take care of both of us. Are you going to twist your own words now?"

Fang Yuan seemed like a different person, he was no longer like a doll, his expression showed disappointment at the clan leader's actions.

The elders who saw this looked very surprised, they didn't know that Fang Yuan could also act like this.

Chi Lian looked troubled because of the change in attitude made by Fang Yuan. On the other hand, Mo Chen looked happy.

Seeing the situation getting out of hand, Fang Yuan again added oil to the fire.

"Clan leader, are you only going to use my brother for your own personal gain? Are you going to separate me from my brother and the only family he has left? Is this how a clan leader actually acts?"

Fang Yuan wasn't overly acting too much, he was just right at the point that others could accept without breaking his doll-like character so far.

Some of the elders seemed to agree with Fang Yuan's words, if this was for the prosperity of the clan. Isn't caring for a Fang Yuan not too difficult?

There was an elder who wanted to help Fang Yuan's argument, but the academy elder stopped the elder with a sharp gaze, as if he was threatening him.

The academy elder was present when Chi Lian had a discussion with the clan leader, so he knew what really happened.

Fang Zheng felt very emotional because of Fang Yuan's attitude, his brother never once showed his emotions, even though he was hurt, even though he was insulted. But now that the problem regarding Fang Zheng arose, he was different.

'It turns out I still don't fully understand big brother, he chose not to show his caring directly for me so that I can grow, but now he's showing it, because he wants to help me.'

Fang Yuan would do everything he could to get a bigger profit, he actually didn't want to be under the guidance of the clan leader, it would be troublesome for him.

What if Fang Yuan had to keep up with the guidance? The aperture can also be freely accessed by the clan leader when that happens. Then, how can Fang Yuan hide his secret he was going to get ?.

He already planned to get Liquor worm as soon as possible.

The aperture for the Gu Master is their own life, one must can't let other people come and go as they please.

The clan leader tried to calm Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng down. But they both became very united to reject the efforts of the clan leader.

There were several elders who took part in the conversation, some were as sensible as Mo Chen. There are also those that don't help, such as 'this is a sacrifice that has to be made.'

Fang Zheng was still a child, he didn't care about that. Fang Yuan also tried to keep the situation heated. But he didn't go too far, making the clan leader despair.

Fang Yuan actually led this conversation, sometimes he weakened the opinion that supported him, sometimes he also helped the opinion that rejected him.

The clan leader must make Fang Zheng come to his side in a voluntary state, if he has feelings against the clan leader, then the guidance carried out by the clan leader will not reach the level he wants.

What's more, if Fang Zheng developed feelings of hatred towards his clan, this would be a big problem. The clan leader wanted to make Fang Zheng a candidate for the next clan leader position.

Why does someone have to raise a tiger that will eat him?

Finally the clan leader made his decision.

He made some conditions to Fang Zheng, this was to win Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng's hearts.

First, Fang Yuan will not live with Chi Lian, he will live in the house that will be provided by the clan leader. Chi Lian only has the right to guide and teach him.

Second, Fang Yuan will be provided with an allowance that will make him not financially deficient in cultivation.

Third, if Chi Lian treated Fang Yuan unkindly, Fang Yuan would be treated by the clan leader himself together with Fang Zheng.

Fourth, Fang Yuan should not be arbitrary. He had to take cultivation seriously.

Fifth, Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng can visit each other's places.

Initially Fang Zheng would not accept the result that he was separated from Fang Yuan. But with Fang Yuan's guidance, he finally accepted it.

Fang Yuan did all of his actions carefully so as not to turn the elders away if he was actually only fighting for profit.

Although Fang Yuan was only an actor due to circumstances, he was quite successful this time. No elder saw the real side of him!

When the conversation was over, Fang Zheng still didn't seem to accept this. But because he saw that Fang Yuan accepted, because of his helplessness about the clan leader's decision. Fang Zheng also accepted it.

Fang Zheng saw Fang Yuan who had come out of the room and walked away.

"Brother, just wait for me. After I become a Rank three Gu Master, I will definitely help you out, just you wait!"

Fang Zheng said it seriously, he felt that he and Fang Yuan separated because he was weak. The clan leader saw Fang Zheng's spirit, he felt that this was a very good thing from the incident earlier.

'Fang Zheng already has a solid reason to become stronger, all I need to do is change that reason for the benefit of the clan.'

The clan leader smiled slightly.

At night at home that has been prepared by the clan leader.

This house was supposed to be used to entertain guests, but because it wasn't being used, the clan leader chose this place.

There are still many houses like this, but this house is arguably not good enough to welcome guests. So this is the most correct decision.

Fang Yuan investigated this house, this house has one floor with four rooms, there is a large yard around this house, behind the house there is also an old tree.

Fang Yuan felt that this house was a suitable place for him to develop his strength. Experiment and practice using Gu worms.

He had only refined Moonlight Gu, but he was only at the stage of activating it, he still couldn't use it properly.

"This is a great place, but there are other problems."

Apart from Fang Yuan, there were two female servants in this house who served all of Fang Yuan's needs.

They are Li Wei and Lu Hua. Li Wei is a woman the same age as Fang Yuan, but her body shows the aspect of a mature woman, she has eyes filled with youthful spirit, her hair is black and only as long as her shoulders.

Lu Hua was a little older than Li Wei, her hair was brown as far back as her waist, she had a proportional body, she exuded a mature female charm.

These are the female servants that Chi Lian sent for Fang Yuan. They were more like gifts, Chi Lian wanted to build a relationship with Fang Zheng, for that he had to approach Fang Yuan.

"Fang Yuan in the end is a human, look at what happened this afternoon, he still has human emotions, so he must also have lust!" thought Chi Lian.

If just two beauties is enough to earn him Fang Yuan, it would be very cheap.

Fang Yuan told some of the rules these two servants had to follow. No one may enter his room without his permission, including to clean his room.

Besides that, don't be noisy when night comes and don't come to him unless he orders.

Li Wei and Lu Hua initially had no objection to this rule, because all they needed to do was to serve Fang Yuan. But when Fang Yuan said that he did not accept the invitation at night, it made these two girls feel a little troubled.

They know that Fang Yuan is very close to Fang Zheng, although Fang Yuan will only be able to reach Rank two as Gu Master, they don't mind. They just want to live without working as servants all their life.

In addition, these two girls were used by Chi Lian to find out the latest information about Fang Yuan.
