Chapter 71 – Mudskin Toad Gu

Fang Yuan had gotten the Gu System during his Awakening Ceremony. Since then he had used it quite often, but he had not used its Scan function till now. As such he decided to test it out now and also he wanted to try something and see if it was feasible.

As such he called up the Scan function of the System and then brought his eyes upon the left side counter, on this counter, there were up to twenty fossils with a purple-gold glow. He glanced through them and his lips curled up in a smile as his eyes rested upon a particular fossil.

Because when he glanced at that fossil he got the following information from the system –

[Gu: Mudskin Toad Gu.

Rank: Two]

[Would you like to scan this Gu for 50 primeval stones to know its details?]

'No.'

As Fang Yuan wasn't interested in getting the details of Gu he told so to the System, after which he started looking at the other stones and fossils in the tent. After looking around Fang Yuan decided on seven pieces.

"I want to purchase some rocks." Having picked his targets, Fang Yuan said to the female Gu Master.

The female Gu Master smiled like a flower and said softly to Fang Yuan, "Then which piece are you choosing?"

"This piece, this piece, and that piece." Fang Yuan pointed at three pieces and said.

The female Gu Master immediately retrieved it. The female Gu Master was stunned, feeling extremely surprised, she could not help but assess Fang Yuan again.

"Also, this piece, this piece, and those two pieces too. I am buying them all." Fang Yuan pointed at four more pieces.

When she heard Fang Yuan wanted to buy four more rocks, the female Gu Master could not help but feel shocked internally, 'Which family is this young master from in the Gu Yue Village? It looks like he's the main family branch's inheritor. If I can hook up with him, I may not need to stay here and slog as a shop clerk anymore.'

With this thought, the female Gu Master's smile became even more gentle and she even looked towards Fang Yuan seductively.

Seven rocks were placed in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took out seventy primeval stones and passed them to the female Gu Master.

He then signaled for Mo Meili and the other girls to pick up a rock each, while he picked up two rocks one of them containing the Mudskin Toad Gu.

This immediately the other Gu Masters in the tent.

"Hey, look it's Fang Yuan."

"Looks like he is here to rock gamble."

"He actually took out seventy primeval stones at once, gambling rocks isn't so easy. Most likely he did it to impress the girls with him. He's gonna get hurt real bad."

"Those girls with him, if I am not wrong they are his lovers."

"What? All five of them?"

"That's what they say themselves."

"Tch, pervert."

"Hey, watch it if someone hears you then you'll get beaten up. Remember he is the village hero."

The Gu Masters stood on the spot, discussing softly, all directing their gaze towards Fang Yuan and the girls.

"Young Master, do you want to open the rocks on the spot? Our gambling den provides free service to open the rocks." The female Gu Master gently advised, sending seductive glances with her eyes.

Fang Yuan motioned to one of his lackeys who immediately started using her Moonlight Gu on the rock.

The rock got smaller and smaller, from being slightly larger than a palm into the size of a fist. Until finally, what was left was a pile of rock powder, falling on the carpet to form a small hill.

It was a solid rock, there was no Gu worm inside.

The lackey bit her lips. A bit disappointed that it was just rock.

The surrounding Gu Master could not help but shake their heads.

Not bothered by this, Fang Yuan had three of his lackeys open the rocks at the same time.

The second piece was still a solid rock, there was no Gu worm inside.

The third piece was the same.

In the fourth piece, a Gu Worm appeared but alas it was a dead one.

'So, the system's scan cannot differentiate between live and dead gu's? Or is it that the gu need not be live for it to find out the details of the gu?' Fang Yuan thought as he observed the dead gu. 'I will need to check that in the future.'

Clearing his head Fang Yuan stopped Mo Meili who was about to start opening the rock in her hands.

He activated the primeval essence within his primeval sea, pouring it into the Moonlight Gu.

The next moment, the crescent mark on his right palm emitted a faint water-like blue light. Which he used to shave the rock slowly.

He carefully ground it, and in ten breath's time, the surface of purple gold-colored rock were all rubbed away, revealing a rough-surfaced yellow mudball.

"Looks there is something."

"Possibly, the last time there really was a Gu inside. But unfortunately, it turned out to be dead."

Fang Yuan continued to grind. Under the watery light, the powdery sand fell off. The yellow mudball gradually decreased in size due to the friction until it became palm-sized.

'What's going on shouldn't Jia Jin Sheng be here by now? I remember reading that before Gu Yue Fang Yuan finished opening the rock Jia Jin Sheng had tried to forcefully buy it from him. Maybe he will appear at the last moment?'

One of the main reasons why Fang Yuan came to this rock gambling other than to use the Mudskin Toad Gu to get five hundred primeval stones and to create a cover story for his Liquor Worm, was to meet with Jia Jin Sheng. As he had wanted to become friends with Jia Jin Sheng and form a business partnership with him.
