Waves rose and fell in the bronze Primeval Sea.
Above the sea, the Liquor worm was curled up into a ball, emitting a misty mist of alcohol.
A surge of true essence rushed up with a whoosh, straight into the wine mist. By the time it landed, it was already half gone, and the color was even darker. It changed from a beginner emerald green to an intermediate pale green.
The middle grade primeval essence fell into the Primeval Sea but did not mix with the initial grade primeval essence. It seemed to be heavier and had settled down.
The Primeval Sea formed a pattern where the upper half was elementary primeval essence water and the lower half was middle primeval essence.
As time passed, the wine mist lingered in his Yuan Aperture. Under the refinement of the Liquor worm, the initial stage primeval essence gradually decreased and the middle stage primeval essence gradually increased.
It could be clearly seen that the middle stage primeval essence water level in the lower half was getting higher and higher, while the initial stage water level in the upper half kept falling and rising. As Meng Fanchen refined his Quintessential Essence, he also absorbed the natural Quintessential Essence from the primeval stones to replenish the primeval apertures in his body.
In the end, 45% of the Primal Sea in his Primal Aperture was once again refined into mid-grade primeval essence.
"It's all thanks to middle stage primeval essence, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cut five stones in a row in the gambling den.”Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Meng Fanchen slowly opened his eyes.
It was already late at night. After he left the gambling den, he did not visit any other shops. Instead, he went straight back to the Martial Arts Hall dormitory.
Although it was near the sect, as a Rank one initial stage Gu Master, five hundred and thirty-eight primeval stones was too much, it was too dangerous.
This was not only because these primeval stones were a little heavy and inconvenient to carry around. There was also another meaning of attracting covetous eyes, which would endanger one's life.
If a Rank one upper stage or even a Rank two Gu Master had evil intentions, Meng Fanchen would not be able to defend himself with his current abilities.
"Money is an external object. It's sad that people die because of money. It was laughable that many people in the world could not see through this. How many people were on the boat of benefits, and how many people were sunk?”Meng Fanchen's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at the grayish-white Primordial Stone in his hand.
A complete primeval stone was the size of a duck egg. However, the one in his hand had already shrunk by a whole size because half of his true essence had been absorbed. Meng Fanchen did not feel any heartache at all.
There were gains and losses in everything. He only had middle grade aptitude and had to use the Liquor worm to refine primeval essence, the primeval stone consumption was several times that of his peers. However, it was also because of this that he was able to overcome his lack of talent. If one were to calculate his true cultivation progress, he would be ranked in the top three.
Meng Fanchen placed the primeval stone back into his pouch and took out the last piece of golden stone.
He had bought a total of six stones at the casino. He had cut five on the spot and brought one back with him.
His eyes shined as he activated the Green Light Gu again, his fingers rubbing together as he started to dissect the rock.
The golden stone was rapidly reduced under the green light, and finally, it was worn away, leaving only a small pile of stone powder on the floor beside the bed.
Meng Fanchen wasn't surprised. He would lose nine out of ten times in stone gambling. Even if he had hundreds of years of experience, he could only gamble and lose at most. The remaining twenty percent chance of winning was divided into dead Gu and living Gu.
Dead Gu basically did not have much value. If it was a living Gu, it might not be a rare Gu worm. If he really opened a valuable living Gu, it would cause a huge disaster.
Meng Fanchen's current cultivation level was very low, he was only at the lowest level of Gu Masters. If it wasn't for the fact that the Wasteland Toad he had just obtained was near the Qingcheng Monastery, he might have been snatched away by Li Jin.
Gambling had never been a way to get rich. Instead, it had caused many to go bankrupt. This wasn't Meng Fanchen's path of development.
Even though the last golden rock did not produce a Gu worm. However, Meng Fanchen was not disappointed. Instead, he looked at the pile of stone powder on the ground and smiled.
That's right, his ultimate goal in entering the casino was this pile of stone powder.
As for the wasteland toad, it was just a matter of convenience. He had dissected the stone in private. Other than him, no one else knew the true result.
From now on, he could make an excuse and say that the Liquor worm was awakened and subdued from this golden rock. This was a brilliant idea.
First of all, no one could determine what kind of Gu worm was sealed in the stone. Who dared to say that the Liquor worm couldn't sleep in the golden rock? This was entirely possible!
Secondly, he had some eyewitnesses, he had opened the wasteland toad, he had definitely left a deep impression on the Gu Masters in the casino.
Thirdly, even if someone were to chase after him relentlessly, he could attribute it all to luck. Luck was the hardest thing to understand. Even if someone suspected that this was the Liquor worm of the Wine and Women Walker, they could not do anything about it with the excuse of 'luck'.
In the dark room, Meng Fanchen's gaze was faint.
Concealing blindly was like wrapping a fire with paper. One day, it would be exposed.
To get rid of the Liquor worm, he had to take the initiative. This was Meng Fanchen's countermeasure.
Moreover, he thought about it carefully. In the following cultivation process, he needed to expose the Liquor worm.
"Rank one Gu worms like Liquor worm are very precious to Rank one Gu Masters. But at Rank two, it was no longer useful. Therefore, if it was exposed, it would at most attract some people's attention. It did not matter if it did not harm the overall situation. "It's not like the Time Butterfly. If the Time Butterfly is exposed, I might die without a burial place in the next moment.”
With hundreds of years of experience, Meng Fanchen had long understood the psychology of others like the back of his hand.
"In my memories, only these two opportunities can be obtained quickly. Now, I've picked them up. Next, I can only rely on myself to cultivate step by step.”Meng Fanchen sighed and stretched his body, feeling a sense of fatigue.
A Gu Master's Primeval Sea cultivation could not replace sleep. Meng Fanchen pulled up the blanket and lay on the bed with his eyes half-open.
Although there were over five hundred primeval stones hidden at the head of the bed and many jars of Qingcheng wine under the bed, he still felt a faint sense of danger.
These 500 primeval stones were already the limit. Meng Fanchen knew that the consumption of primeval stones would only increase in the future.
Most of his income came from blackmailing his classmates. He could already feel the obvious improvement of his classmates around him. Especially in the recent extortion, Mo Bei, Chi Cheng, and his brother Meng Chenggong had improved greatly in their martial arts. In the past, he only needed one or two moves to deal with it, but now he needed five or six moves.
"After three or four more robberies, their martial arts will be honed. One by one, they challenged me. With my current physical strength, I still can't withstand such a continuous battle. Five hundred primeval stones might seem like a lot, but with my daily expenditure of four primeval stones, it's actually nothing.”
"There are no more treasures here at Qing Cheng Mountain, but there is a strength inheritance secretly left behind by a righteous path rank four Gu Master at Gray Bone Mountain nearby. However, it was also very troublesome to obtain this inheritance. There were important checkpoints that required the two of them to work together to pass.”
"Sigh, the main thing is that the Wine and Perverted Monk's inheritance is too little, he only has one Liquor worm. Hmm…there was still that screen wall. " Perhaps I can sell it to one of the merchants in the caravan…" Meng Fanchen pondered as his eyelids grew heavier and heavier until he fell asleep.
