A Gu room was set up beside the Martial Arts Hall. The Gu room was not big, only seventy square meters.
Gu worms were the key to a Gu Master's cultivation.
Once the lesson ended, the excited youths swarmed towards the Gu room. "Line up and come in one by one." An angry shout sounded, and there were naturally people guarding the door.
The youths went in and out one by one.
Soon, it was Meng Fanchen's turn to enter the Gu room.
He saw that the room was very spacious. The four walls were made into holes, and these embedded square grids were next to each other. There were big and small squares. The big ones were no bigger than a clay pot, and the small ones were no smaller than a fist.
There were all kinds of utensils in the dense grid. Some were white stone basins, some were green jade plates, some were exquisite grass cages, and some were ceramic furnaces.
These tools contained all kinds of Gu worms.
Some Gu worms were silent, but some Gu worms were very noisy, making all kinds of sounds, such as squeaking, giggling, rustling, and so on, gathering into a symphony of life.
"Gu worms are also divided into nine levels, corresponding to a Gu Master's rank nine attainment level. These Gu worms are all Rank one Gu worms." Meng Fanchen glanced around and instantly understood.
Normally, Rank one Gu Masters could only use Rank one Gu worms. If they used a higher level Gu worm, the Gu Master would have to pay an extremely heavy price.
Moreover, Gu worms also needed to be fed, and the price of feeding high grade Gu worms was often not something that low grade Gu Masters could bear.
For new Gu Masters, unless there were special circumstances, they would choose a Rank one Gu worm to refine for the first time.
And the first Gu worm that a Gu Master refines is of great significance, it is called vital Gu, life and death are connected. Once they died, the Gu Master would suffer heavy injuries.
" Sigh, I originally hoped to obtain the Liquor worm of the Wine and Woman Walker and refine it into my vital Gu. But now, there were still no clues about the Wine and Women Walker's inheritance. He did not know when he would find it or if it would be discovered by others. To be on the safe side, it was better to choose a Green Light Gu.”Meng Fanchen sighed in his heart as he walked towards the wall on his right.
On one of the floors slightly above the hole in the wall was a row of blue plates. There was a Gu worm on each plate. This Gu worm was crystal clear and round like the sun, like a green crystal. Under the blue stone plate, it gave off a quiet aura.
The Gu's name was Green Light, it was Qingcheng Monastery's cornerstone Gu worm. Most of the disciples chose it as their vital Gu. It was not a natural Gu worm, but was cultivated by the secret method of the Qingcheng Monastery. It could not be found anywhere else, so it could be said to be the symbol of the Qingcheng Monastery.
They were all Rank one Green Light Gu, the difference was extremely small. Meng Fanchen randomly picked one and held it in his hand.
The Green Light Gu was very light, comparable to the weight of a copper coin. It only occupied a small part of his palm, the size of an ordinary pendant. Meng Fanchen held it in his hand. Through it, he could see his palm print that was covered.
After taking a final look and confirming that there were no problems, Meng Fanchen placed it in his pocket and left the Gu room.
There was still a long queue outside the Gu room. When a youth saw Meng Fanchen walk out, he hurriedly ran into the Gu room excitedly.
If it was anyone else, their first reaction would be to take the Gu worm back to their room and refine it. However, Meng Fanchen was not in a hurry to do so. He was still thinking about the Liquor worm.
The Liquor worm was even more precious. Although the Green Light Gu was a unique Gu worm of the Qingcheng Sect, it was not as helpful to Gu Masters as the Liquor worm.
After leaving the Gu room, Meng Fanchen went straight to the tavern.
"Shopkeeper, give me two jars of good wine." Meng Fanchen rummaged through his pockets and placed the remaining primeval stone fragments on the counter.
These days, he often came here to buy wine and then wandered around the sect to search, trying to attract the Liquor worm.
The shopkeeper was a tall middle-aged man with a flushed face. After these few days, he had already remembered Meng Fanchen.
"Sir, you're here." As he greeted them, he extended his long and fat hand and skillfully took away Meng Fanchen's primeval stone fragment. He shook it in his hand and felt that the amount was not bad. The smile on the shopkeeper's face became more cordial.
Primeval stones were the currency of this world, used to measure the value of all goods. At the same time, it was the essence of heaven and earth, it could also be used to help Gu Masters cultivate better.
It had both currency and commodity attributes, very similar to gold on Earth. Earth had a single gold standard, and this world had a single primeval stone standard.
Compared to gold, the purchasing power of primeval stones was also quite shocking.
However, no amount of primeval stones could withstand Meng Fanchen's continuous consumption.
"Three jars of wine a day, it's been seven days. The primeval stones he had saved up were almost all spent.”Carrying the three jars of wine out of the hotel, Meng Fanchen frowned slightly.
Once one becomes a Gu Master, they can extract pure primeval essence from primeval stones to replenish the primeval sea in their aperture.
Thus, to Gu Masters, primeval stones were not only currency, but also a helper for cultivation.
With sufficient primeval stones, a Gu Master's cultivation speed could increase by a lot, this could more or less make up for some shortcomings in aptitude.
"There won't be any primeval stones to buy wine tomorrow, but the Liquor worm still hasn't appeared. Do you really want me to refine the Green Light Gu into a Life Gu?”Meng Fanchen felt indignant.
Meng Fanchen walked out of the tavern with three jars of wine in his hands."The Martial Arts Hall Elder said that the first person to refine the Life's Origin Parasite will be rewarded with twenty primeval stones. Right now, many people were probably working hard in their rooms to refine Gu worms and fight for first place. Unfortunately, refining the vital Gu was a test of talent. People with good aptitude had great advantages. With my middle-grade aptitude and no other means, there is no hope of victory at all.”
At this moment, Meng Chenggong's voice sounded behind him.""Brother, you really came to the tavern to get drunk again! Come with me, uncle and aunt want to see you.”Meng Fanchen stopped and turned around.
She realized that her brother no longer spoke with his head lowered like before.
The two brothers 'gazes met.
A gust of wind whistled past, lifting the younger brother's messy black hair and the older brother's clothes.
In just a week, everything had changed.
The big day of enlightenment a week ago was a huge change for both his brother and brother.
His younger brother, Meng Fanchen, fell from the clouds, and the halo of a genius was mercilessly stripped away by his disciples. Meanwhile, her brother began to shine like a rising star.
This change was even more earth-shattering for Meng Chenggong.
He finally got a taste of his younger brother's feelings back then. He was pinned with hope and looked at with envy or jealousy.
He felt as if he had suddenly been transported from a dark hell to a heaven filled with light.
Every day when he woke up, he felt like he was having a beautiful dream. The difference in treatment was still hard to believe. At the same time, he felt a strong sense of discomfort.
He wasn't used to it.
In an instant, he went from being unknown to being closely watched and pointed at. Sometimes, when Meng Chenggong was walking on the road and heard the people around him talking about him and praising him, he would feel his face burning up. He was at a loss, and his eyes were evasive. He almost didn't know how to walk!
After a few days, Meng Chenggong had lost a lot of weight, but his energy was getting stronger.
From the deepest part of his heart, something called 'confidence' began to grow.
"This is how little brother used to feel. It's so wonderful and painful!”He couldn't help but think of his younger brother, Meng Chenggong. How did his brother deal with such discussions and attention in the past? He subconsciously began to imitate Meng Fanchen, pretending to be expressionless. However, he soon realized that he was not cut out for it.
Sometimes, in the Martial Arts Hall, a girl's cry could make him blush. Along the way, his sect members teased him, causing him to flee many times.
He was like a baby learning to walk, stumbling to adapt to his new life.
During this process, he inevitably heard rumors about his younger brother-he was depressed and dispirited, became an alcoholic, did not return home at night, and slept in the Martial Arts Hall. At first, he was shocked. His brother, such a powerful and talented existence, had actually become like this?!
But gradually, he began to understand. His younger brother was also an ordinary person. After encountering such setbacks and blows, it was inevitable that he would be depressed. With this understanding, Meng Chenggong felt an indescribable pleasure.
He didn't want to admit that he was feeling so happy, but he did feel it.
The younger brother who was praised as a genius, the younger brother who had once suppressed her like a shadow, was now so dejected. This was a testament to his growth, wasn't it?
He was a genius, that was the truth!
Therefore, when Meng Chenggong saw Meng Fanchen holding the wine jar, his hair was disheveled, and his clothes were disheveled, he heaved a sigh of relief. But he said,"Brother, you can't drink anymore. You can't go on like this." You don't know how worried the people who care about you are. You have to pull yourself together!”
Meng Fanchen remained expressionless and did not speak.
The two brothers looked at each other. Meng Chenggong's eyes shone with a sharp light. As for his younger brother Meng Fanchen, his eyes were as dark as an ancient well.
Meng Chenggong couldn't help but feel an inexplicable pressure from those eyes. Not long after their gazes met, he subconsciously shifted his gaze and looked to the other side.
However, when he reacted, anger instantly rose in his heart. A sense of anger towards himself. What was wrong with him? You don't even have the courage to look at your brother?
I've changed, I've completely changed!
Thinking of this, his gaze sharpened and he swept his gaze over again. However, Meng Fanchen no longer looked at him. Instead, he carried a jar of wine and walked past him. His calm voice rang out,""What are you waiting for? Let's go." Meng Chenggong's breathing became irregular. The anger that had accumulated in his heart had no place to vent. This made him feel an indescribable depression. Seeing that his brother had already walked far away, he could only quickly follow. However, this time, he no longer lowered his head. Instead, he raised his head to face the setting sun.
His gaze was fixed on his feet, which were stepping on his brother Meng Fanchen's shadow.
