"Put the wine under the bed." Meng Fanchen instructed the inn's staff. Each of them was carrying several jars of Green City wine. After Meng Fanchen extorted the other students, he went to the inn and bought another 20 jars. Each jar cost two primeval stones. For the sake of the Liquor worm, Meng Fanchen spent forty primeval stones. The pouch that had just swelled up instantly deflated by half, leaving only forty primeval stones. But it was worth it, this wine could support the Liquor worm for a long time.
"Alright." The shop assistants quickly replied, they did not dare to show any disrespect to Gu Masters. In addition, Meng Fanchen had bought so much wine. It could be said that he was a big customer of the inn. A simple sentence in front of the shopkeeper could easily make these workers lose their jobs. After the staff left, Meng Fanchen closed the door and sat cross-legged on the bed.
It was already night. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse in the sky. A faint fragrance flowed in the night wind. There was no light in the room. Meng Fanchen calmed his emotions and focused on the Primordial Sea. The waves of the Primeval Sea rose and fell, and the seawater emitted a bronze luster. Each wave of seawater was the green copper primeval essence unique to Rank one Gu Masters. The Primordial Sea had only reached 45% of the entire Primordial Aperture. This was the limit of Meng Fanchen's middle-grade aptitude. The four walls of the Yuan Aperture were a thin layer of white light membrane that supported and wrapped around the Yuan Aperture.
There was nothing above the Primeval Sea. Under Meng Fanchen's command, the Time Butterfly had already hidden itself once again and was resting in its slumber. On the surface of the primeval sea, there was a cute white and fat Liquor worm floating. It was having fun in the primeval essence sea, sometimes swimming into the sea, sometimes wagging its head and tail, splashing water droplets.
With a thought from Meng Fanchen, the Liquor worm immediately responded and stopped playing. It curled into a dumpling shape and floated up slowly, rising to the center of the primordial aperture and leaving the bronze sea.
"Yes." Meng Fanchen mobilized 10% of his primeval essence, forming a thin stream that surged upwards and poured into the Liquor worm's body. The Liquor worm had already been refined by him, so he did not reject anyone, absorbing all of the primeval essence into his body.
Instantly, 45% of the sea level dropped by a small portion. Turning his primeval essence into power, the Liquor worm that had curled up into a ball began to emit a white light. The dense smell of alcohol gradually emerged from the light and finally gathered into a pale white wine mist. The wine mist was wondrous, it didn't scatter, it enveloped the Liquor worm.
"Rise." With a thought, Meng Fanchen channeled another 10% of his Quintessential Essence. The bronze sea water rushed into the wine mist, and the wine mist merged into the sea water. It became less and less until there was not a single trace left. As for the 10% of green copper primeval essence, it had also disappeared into thin air, leaving only 50%. However, this half primeval essence was much more condensed than before. The original primeval essence was emerald green and emitted a copper luster. Although the current True Essence had the same copper color, it was a deeper layer of green, pale green. Pale green primeval essence was the primeval essence that only Rank one middle stage Gu Masters possessed. The Liquor worm's function was to condense primeval essence, raising a Gu Master's primeval essence by a small realm!
Gu Masters had nine great realms, from low to high, rank one, rank two, all the way to rank nine. Each major realm was further divided into four minor realms, namely the initial stage, intermediate stage, advanced stage, and peak stage.
Meng Fan Chen was only a Rank one initial stage Gu Master, but with the help of the Liquor worm, he had half of a Rank one middle stage Gu Master's primeval essence!
"If I want to condense half of middle stage primeval essence, I will need to use 20% of initial stage primeval essence. If I wanted to convert 45% of the primeval sea in my primeval aperture into middle stage primeval essence, I would have to use up close to 190% of the initial stage primeval essence. If he wanted to achieve this goal as soon as possible, he would have to rely on primeval stones.”Thinking of this, Meng Fanchen opened his eyes and took out a complete Primordial Stone the size of a duck egg. The primeval stone was a kind of oval translucent stone, grayish-white. As the natural primeval essence in the stone was continuously consumed, its size would also continuously shrink. He slowly closed his right hand and held the primeval stone tightly in his palm. He absorbed the natural primeval essence inside and continuously replenished his primeval aperture.
The sea level that was originally sinking in his primordial aperture slowly rose. Primeval stones were meant to be used. Meng Fanchen was not stingy at all, let alone thrifty.
"I don't have any backers or friends to support me, so I can only rely on robbery and extortion. Today is only the first time. In the future, I will continue to block the entrance of the Martial Arts Hall every seven days when the Martial Arts Hall gives out vitality stones as a subsidy.”How could robbing and blackmailing satisfy Meng Fanchen's appetite? Gu Masters lacked primeval stones the most when cultivating. As for the consequences of the robbery, Meng Fanchen was not worried at all. This world was different from Earth. On Earth, fights were usually forbidden in schools, and stability and harmony were the main priority. But in this world, battle was the main theme.
Be it Gu Masters or mortals, they had to fight for survival. Sometimes they fought with terrifying wild beasts, sometimes they fought against the harsh and violent weather, sometimes they fought with other Gu Masters for resources. Therefore, people encouraged and advocated moderate fighting. From childhood to adulthood, from fighting to life and death battles, this was the life of most humans.
This world was vast and boundless. Just the Southern Border where Meng Fanchen lived was larger than the total area of ten Earths. The living environment here was very harsh. Humans usually built their homes in the form of clans and sects, hiding in a corner. Every once in a while, there would be beast tides or extremely bad weather that would attack the sect.
Gu Masters became the backbone of the sect, and the number of casualties every year was quite serious. Life required people with a strong will to fight. Sects needed battle Gu Masters, they never had too many. Moreover, Meng Fanchen knew what he should do. He never attacked the chin because it could easily cause skull fracture and kill people. He didn't attack the back of the head either. When fighting, he didn't use his fists, elbows, or fingers. Instead, he used his palms. The number of times he kicked could be counted on one hand. The acolytes who fell were not seriously injured. At most, they were lightly injured. Meng Fanchen was not fond of killing. He only treated killing as a method.
Every time he made a move, he had a clear target. He would use any method that could help him achieve his goal. In other words, he was unscrupulous.
Dark clouds floated over and covered the moonlight. A shadow shrouded the Qingcheng Monastery. The night watchman banged on the wooden board, reminding people that it was already late at night, they had to be careful of the fire, they had to be careful of wild beast attacks, as well as enemy Gu Masters who might sneak in. There were still many lights in the village. In the Chi family, Chi Lian's study room was brightly lit. This powerful old man was consoling his grandson in a gentle tone.
"I heard that you were beaten up by Meng Fanchen today?"”Chi Cheng's right eye darkened. He said angrily,"Yes, Grandpa. Meng Fanchen was only a middle-grade talent, yet he was so arrogant. He blocked us at the entrance and robbed us of our primeval stones without caring about our friendship as classmates. What was even more infuriating was that the Martial Arts Hall actually turned a blind eye. The guards only rushed over when Meng Fanchen left. Grandpa, you have to help me vent my anger this time!”
"This is a matter between you juniors." Chi Lian shook her head. You were only blackmailed for a mere primeval stone, and you weren't seriously injured. Moreover, even if you were seriously injured, Grandpa would not stand up for you. Do you understand why?”
Chi Cheng was stunned. He thought hard and said hesitantly,"Grandpa, I understand what you mean. Do you want me to rely on my own strength to get back at you?”
"You only understand one aspect.”Chi Lian nodded." You have to remember, you don't just represent yourself, you also represent the image of our Chi family. Our Chi family and the Mo family have been at loggerheads for many years. Your every move represents the future hope of the Chi family. Grandfather can help you secretly, but you must erect an image of self-reliance. Otherwise, the elders who support us will abandon our Chi family when they can't see any hope for the future.”At this point, Chi Lian sighed,""This is also the reason why grandfather helped you cheat and let you pretend to have high-grade aptitude. Our Chi family needs a strong successor to make those who support us persevere.”
"Grandpa, I understand."”
Chi Lian shook her head." It's no use just knowing. You have to work hard." Meng Fanchen's matter is a small problem. You have to work hard on your basic skills and get back at him. At the same time, don't forget to work hard on cultivation and advance to the intermediate stage as soon as possible. It would be best if you could obtain the position of class monitor. This is a great honor and a form of help to our Chi family.”
"Yes, Grandpa." Chi Cheng replied loudly.
"Hehehe, this spirit is more like the successor of our Chi family. Grandson, you must work hard. Grandpa will do his best to help you.”
