Chapter 5

In the Gu Yue Clan if one listens carefully then one would realize that unusual hustle and bustle going on.

One can see old men and women from different parts of the village who are

heading towards the clan pavilion which is in the middle of the village, reaching 5 stories and having sharply tilted roofs; it was heavily guarded. Before the pavilion was square, and in the pavilion was the shrine of the Gu Yue ancestor memorial tablets. Every generation of clan heads had lived in the pavilion. With every major ceremony or big incident, the clan elders would gather and discuss meetings here as well. This was the entire village's authority center.

As they neared each other voices of discussion among them could be heard.

"Greetings, Elder Mo Chen, Elder Chi Lian," said an old lady as she saw two old men near the entrance of the Clan pavilion.

"Greetings, Elder Yao Ji, you seem to be in a good mood" replied both old men as Elder Mo Chen asked.

"Well that is of course, after all, ever since little Fang Zheng deduced the method to Rank 1 Three Vitality Leaves Gu and the recipe of Rank 2 Nine Vitality Leaes the pressure on the Medical Hall has decreased by more than half, I am really looking forward to today's meeting, it's been almost year and a half since we gathered because of Fang Zheng, I wonder what kind of surprise we will get this time "

"That is good to hear, now that the medical hall has sufficient supply do you think it possible to supply Nine Vitality Leaves to Chi and Mo families as well ?"

"What are you talking about, even if Sacrificial Eater Gu is a secret, it still doesn't change the fact that Gu Yue Clan will have more and more Rank 2 Gu Masters, you should know there are already over 50 new Rank 2 masters who want Nine Vitality Leaves Gu or even Three Vitality Leaves and if you want it for your faction then you should send more members to complete missions issued by Medical Hall"

As the conversation continued more and more Elders gathered near the Pavillion's entrance.

"It looks like everyone is here, come inside we will start the meeting now" came the voice of Gu Yue No as the entrance to the Ancestral Hall opened.

Soon everyone entered and took their seats

across the meeting table Greeting each other and Gu Yue Bo who was sitting at the head seat with Fang Zheng just beside him, clearly showed his intentions to groom Fang Zheng as the next head of the family.

"Greetings, Elders," said Fang as he stood up and bowed to the 12 Elders of the family.

"Greetings, little Zheng, it seems you have progressed again, Good good although you have surpassed us Elders in the knowledge we are still Uncles and Aunts so in the future if you require something resources or otherwise don't hesitate to ask, we will make sure to get it the next time the caravan came to the village," said the Academy elder with a laugh not bothered by the fact that he put every other Elder on the spot after all ever since Fang Zheng succeeded in cultivating Sacrificial Eater Gu, no matter which Elder, all of them are scrambling to find more ways to get close to him.

It's been three years since Fang Zheng first proposed the idea of Rank 1 Sacrificial Eater Gu and in these three years not only was he successful in cultivating the Sacrificial Eater Gu with the help of Refinement Hall and Gu cultivation Hall, but he was also able to deduce the recipe for Rank 1 Vitality leaves, Rank 2 Nine Vitality Leaves both of which are excellent healing GUs, and also a Self Oath Gu, a Rank 2 Self Oath Gu whose recipe he deducted after studying a Rank 3 Poison Oath Gu which Gu Yue Bo bought for him from the Caravan that visited the Gu Yue Village, Self Oath Gu is a Gu that lets you make an oath to themselves if you break the oath then you will lose your cultivation and will become a mortal forever. It was also because of this Gu that the Gu Yue Family was able to keep Sacrificial Eater Gu a secret despite using them extensively to increase the strength of their Gu masters.

"Ahem, let's start meeting now, we start will Elder Yao Zong" announced Gu Yue Bo as he wanted to groom Fang Zheng as the next head, and for that maintaining balance and a neutral view is of utmost importance.

"The trading party we sent to Bai and Xiong families has returned and were able to trade for enough materials to refine 75 Sacrificial Eater Gu, 150 Rank 1 Three Vitality Leaves, and 50 Rank 2 Nine Vitality Leaves. Aside from that, we were able to get 35 Rank 1 Bear enslavement Gu, 23 Rank 1 wolf enslavement, and 12 Rank 2 wolf enslavement Gu with the total cost being 3.8 million primeval stones, 3 Nine Vitality Leaves, and 5 prisoner releases with Nine Vaitility Leaves being traded for 12 Rank 2 wolf enslavement Gu from Xiong clan and Prisoner release being the recently captured Bai Clan Team, this team was recently captured by Qing Shu's team.
