Ch 3

The remaining clan elders summed up the situation. If this matter were to be publicized, it would be very detrimental to the Gu Yue clan, but the death of the clan patriarch and the clan elders would definitely not be able to be covered up, so in the end they revised the facts and the Flower Wine Monk and Gu Yue fourth generation patriarch switched roles.

This story just shows us once again that history is written by the victors, it's the the eternal truth.

Although the Gu Yue family seemed to be the losers, they were the ones who had the last laugh and hence was the winner, so the dead Flower Wine Monk was the complete loser.

"After this class is over, go to the Gu room in the academy and choose one Gu worm. After choosing the Gu worm, go home and cultivate until the Gu worm is refined, and then come back to the academy to continue the class."

"At the same time, this is also your first assessment. Whoever wins the first prize will be rewarded with 20 primeval stones."

"It's finally time to refine Gu worms." I was also very happy to hear this news.

"Three months later, we will set up a class leader and two sub-class leaders based on their grades. The class leader will receive a subsidy of ten primeval stones, and the subsidized prime stone subsidy for the vice class leader will increase to five! Okay, It's over for today, everyone leave."

Following events were similar to the game and novel, I followed students to the Gu room and picked up Moonlight Gu without hesitation. I checked out other gu to see how they look like and compared it with my perfect memory. The practical experience is always different from the theory.

The first Gu worm refined by the Gu Master is of great significance. It is called the vital Gu, and it is cultivated alongside Gu Master. Once it perishes, the Gu Master will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Few hours have passed since I got Moonlight Gu.

And I've figured out one of my most wanted questions.

Did I replace Fang Yuan, who had crossed for the first time, or Fang Yuan, who used Spring Autumn Cicada to return to the past.

The answer was clear the moment I tried to refine the Liquor worm and the Moonlight Gu. The Spring Autumn Cicada awakened in the aperture and easily suppressed the will of Liquor worm. Even though I was refining a Gu for the first time, it was quite simple.

I easily refined the rank one Liquor worm and rank one moonlight gu.

The Spring Autumn Cicada was originally refined by original owner of this body, and I could naturally use it freely, so my vital Gu also became the rank six Spring Autumn Cicada.

The advantage of the vital Gu is that no matter how the refining of the Gu fails, as long as the Gu Master himself does not die, the vital Gu will not die.

Although rank five Gu are expensive, they can still be bought. The rank six Gu is an Immortal Gu. Immortal Gu are the unique in the world. Unless someone has obtained the True Inheritance of any Gu Immortals, mortals will not be able to touch them at all.

Even Gu Immortals, under normal circumstances, no one would sell Immortal Gu at all, and they usually exchange one Immortal Gu for another Immortal Gu.

What's more, Spring Autumn Cicada, which is ranked seventh on the list of the top ten Gu, has been created by one of most powerful beings that has existed in this world, Red Lotus Demon Venerable. He and Fang Yuan are the only known users to have used this Gu throughout the game and the novel.

From this point, we can know the preciousness of Spring Autumn Cicada even more. In addition, Spring Autumn Cicada's ability is rebirth, which makes it even more unparalleled in the world.

However, refining Gu is still a matter of the future. Right now, I have to plan how to get the highest strength and bypass the limitation of Spring Autumn Cicada strengthening over time. I have 2 years at most.

I had currently far surpassed any other student in the academy as they had just started to refine their first gu worm. The only thing I lacked was practice with the gu worms. That will be resolved when I explore the Flower Wine Monk inheritance.

However, in order to feed the Liquor worm, I need to buy a jar of wine every four days, and over time, it will be easy to be suspected by people with ulterior motives. I should rather buy huge quantity of wine and store it with me.

"The shopkeeper, bring 10 jars of wine." I took out twenty primeval stone from my pocket and placed it on the counter. It was almost all my savings at the moment. I had only one primeval stone left.

The shopkeeper was stunned. This was his yearly income placed in front of him.

"This young guy has so many primeval stones! I am so jealous. He must be young master of some reputed family.", the shopkeeper was thinking.

He quickly thanked me and he stretched out his thick and short fat hand and skillfully wiped away the pieces of primeval stone on the counter. He then ordered his subordinates to bring me ten jars of green bamboo wine. He even added two jars of regular wine as a show of gratitude.

Picking up the wine jar, I turned around and was about walk away from the wine shop when someone came in front of me.

How could I forget this scene!

Gu Yue Fang Zheng!

"Brother, you really came to the pub to get drunk again! Come with me, uncle and aunt want to see you."

I stopped, looked ahead, and found that instead of talking with his head down as before, he looked straight at me with his head held high.

"Brother, you can't drink anymore, you can't go on like this anymore, you don't know how worried people who care about you will be, you have to cheer up!"

There was no benefit listening further to him and my time was precious. I went along with him.

"Let's go."

The red sun was sinking in the west, but it has not completely set. There is still light in the sky, but everything seems to be covered with a layer of gray. Looking through the window, the mountains in the distance are gradually approaching the heavy black. .

The light in the living room was dim, and the uncle and aunt were sitting high in the main seat, with a shadow covering their faces, and it was difficult to see their expressions clearly.

Seeing the jar of wine that Fang Yuan brought with him, his uncle Gu Yue Dong Tu's brows frowned, and he said:

"In a flash, you are already fifteen years old, and you all have the qualifications of Gu Masters, especially Fang Zheng, uncle and aunt are proud of you, I will give each of you six primordial stones, and the two of you will take them and refine the Gu worms, it consumes a lot of primeval energy, these primeval stones are exactly what you need."

"Also, Fang Yuan, I know you are feeling down, but you don't understand the importance of Primeval stones. Don't waste them on such a costly wine. Sigh, it will be too late by the time you understand."

'It's different. He never said these words in the game or the novel. Although Uncle Dong Tu supresses me, he does it for the inheritance. However, I am a Gu master of Gu Yue clan right now and he is devoted to the clan. My behavior goes against the best interests of the clan.'

With that said, a servant came over and gave each of Fang Yuan and Fang zheng a small bag.

Fang Yuan put away the bag and remained silent.

'Now I have seven primeval stones. It will help me get through some hurdles'

The following scenes were same as the novel. Uncle Dong Tu tried to adopt Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng readily accepted but Fang Yuan rejected it. If he accepted it, he would lose the rights to his inheritance which was really important to his future plans.

He even rejected the financial aid of two hundred primeval stones and then directly left with his wine jars and primeval stones.

Fang zheng got up: "Father, mother, brother can't figure it out for a while, why don't you let me persuade him?"

Uncle waved his hand and sighed deliberately: "Oh, this can't be forced, you have this heart, I am already very happy as your father. Go, start refining your first gu and take first place making us proud."

The sun has completely set, and the living room is getting darker.

After a long while, Gu Yue Dong Tu's cold voice came from the darkness: "It seems that Fang Yuan, this little bastard, has seen through our plans. Even if he gets the inheritance, he will waste it all on the alcohol and never make any good contribution to the clan. We should make him do something that goes against the rules of the clan and expel him from the clan"

In the clan rules of the Gu Yue clan, it is clearly stated that the eldest son at the age of sixteen is eligible to inherit the family property.

Fang Yuan's parents were deceased, leaving behind a considerable amount of inheritance, which was "kept" by his uncle and aunt.

The value of this inheritance is not comparable to the mere two hundred primeval stones.

In a remote corner of Gu Yue village, there were several bamboo buildings standing alone, Fang Yuan was lying in one of them.

Since I know that my uncle and aunt are plotting bad things, I will naturally not live in their house anymore. I am not the original Fang Yuan and can easily slip up. With the primeval stones I have, I will last for a while.

After the awakening ceremony, while recalling the details of the novel, I planned the direction of my future practice.

The first is getting the most important gu in true inheritance of the flower wine monk, the Heavenly Essense Treasure Lotus Gu. I already got the liquor worm and fifteen primeval stones, and the rest are rank one white boar Gu, jade skin gu, stealth rock gu, rank two earth communication ear grass gu and rank three Chainsaw golden centipede and lastly rank three Heavenly Essense Treasure Lotus Gu. There's also the rank five thousand li earthwolf spider.

For completely refining Heavenly Essense Treasure Lotus, I will need about fifty thousand primeval stones. I should start preparing for the same.

Just in case, it is better to prepare 60,000 primeval stones.

After reaching the third rank, I can start preparing to leave this Gu Yue Village and leave this Qing mao Mountain.

On this Qing mao Mountain, there are three families, Gu yue village, Bai village, and Xiong village.

There are only so many resources. If you want to get more resources, you can only compete with each other. If I am not prepared, the wolf tide that breaks out every three years will cause the three major villages to fight.

Under mutual restraint, the conflict will naturally not escalate, but if I do not monopolize the resources in Qing Mao Mountain, to reach rank five cultivation on my own will be very difficult. As for the promotion to a Gu Immortal, it is even more of a dream.

And I am not like Fang Yuan, I don't have five hundred years of rich experience and information, all I know are the treasures and opportunities mentioned in the novel and shown in the game.

So until I come up with a good way, I can only follow the path that Fang Yuan has taken in the novel and the game because I clearly know what opportunities are there on that path.

And I have to follow that path even if I don't want to, because I replaced Fang Yuan for unknown reasons.

And we all have one thing in common, that is, we are all visitors from other worlds, and in this world there is a name known to the world, the devil from outside the sky, 'Otherworldly Demons'.

All the Otherworldly Demons, from the moment they appeared in this world, had their enemies standing at the top of the world, the rank nine legendary immortal Gu Fate Gu, the Heaven's Will, and the heavenly court, the most powerful organization in the whole two heavens and the five regions.

For all the beings in this world, their fates were planned early from their birth itself, and it was Fate Gu that controlled these fates.

...

There was a thunderstorm raging at a remote location in the Black Heaven above the Southern Border.

An old man was floating around observing and manipulating the thunderstorm. Countless lightning bolts with immortal aura passed by him. This was immortal material Electrolytic Starlight. It is generated by the starlight and hence mostly found in Black Heaven.

Great Treasury Immortal, Rank seven information path Eastern Sea Gu Immortal, had created electrolytic iron starflower using this material as an inspiration.

However, the quantity of Electrolytic Starlight flowing around the old man was very abnormal. It was discharging lightning qi very quickly and the lightning path dao marks interweave and blend with each other.

The old man waved his hands. Suddenly all the lightning path dao marks condensed at one point and the lightning qi started simmering down until there was no lightning qi left except the shining ball in the old man's hands which was still shrinking.

It shrank to the point until it became completely invisible to the human eye.

The old man had a satisfactory look on his face.

"My arrangements here are complete. Now I need to do some few remaining tasks and then I can go check out my disciple's progress."

Saying so, the old man gazed at Southern Border with a fond look. Then he directed his gaze towards the Black Heaven above the Central Continent as his look became solemn.

The next moment, he disappeared into thin air.

However, the ball made of lightning qi was still there. Anyone who looked at it would hear a profound sound directly in their mind.

"The rough path of relinquishing everything,

That leads so far into the heart's own haze,

That is one of the two path I walked upon.

Where shades and shadows merge as evergreen,

Both the paths which are overlooked by the Dao of Heaven,

The Remembrance of the past, and Forgotten is the future."
